FOR THE SUN.

EDITOR,--Conceiving it a respectful at-
tention due to your politeness and impartiality, I
beg to state to you my reasons for so suddenly, if
not surreptitiously,obtruding myself on your no-
tice by my communications.
These reasons were, the Constitutional Prin-
ciples of your Journal, the liberal scope which it
allows to Correspondents, the prevailing Scepti-
cism, Jacobinistn, and Catholic Cunning of
the day. While, as lam an Englishman from
education, conscirnce, and the convictions of

reason, to oppose whatever is an insult to our in-
tritect as men, au infringement of our rights as
Briroos,
.and a subversion of our Establishment
as Churchmen,, 1 consider as a duty which 1 owe
to toy Country and my King, to my conscience
and my God. 'Fur these reasons I shall, with
your permission, occasionally bask in the genial
rays ot Sux. While that this influence may
continue to animate every Briton's breast,
is thc sincere wish of him who Kegs to subscribe
himself, Your's very respectfully,

BREV rrAs.

P.S. I beg ro add, that previous to my Queries

to STACK HousE, no connunnieKtions amine ever

appeared in tiny public journal; yet the kfluence
-•of "fug Sus, as upon the bee from the hive, has

'drawn me into public view, while, ns my con-
nections ate in the higher circles in We, 1 find
myself called upon to enter the lists.

An .sslreroion is about totake plae, in the dress
of tht. von,,g Gentlemen on the tminthrion

FROM THE MORNING PAPERS OF THIS DAY.

[Morning Chronicle.]
DUKE OF KENT.

It is well known that the circnmstances of this
excellent Prince have for some yea.is been em-
barrassed, from debts that were contracted at a
very early period of his life, and that, in order to
liquidate'them, he has expatriated himself, and
resigned nearly the whole of his income to some
highly respectable friends, who have undertaken
the management of his. affairs, and by whom lie
is allowed a few tlionsands a year to enable him
to live in retirement abroad. By this conduct, so
honourable to his character, a great proportion
of his debts have been liquidated, and the whole,
within a year or two, are likely to he, settled.
They originally amounted to 90 or 80.0001. and
have been reduced to less than one-third of the
above sums. By his marriage with the Duchess,
.who is au eminent pattetu of every conjugal vir.
tile, and with whom he lives at Amorback, in
Germany, on terms of the greatest domestic hap-
piness, a small addition was made to the limited
income within which he• had been restricted, and
without which, indeed, he could not have met the
various expenses to which his change of state,
and increase of establishment, necessarily sub-
jeered him. The Duchess is in the family way,
and expects to be conkned in the course of next
May. p has been generally expected, and as
ge„,r,fly wished, .that the accouct►emeut would
take place in England, that the child might there-
by become an Englishman by being born in Eng-
land, but the Public will learn with regret, that.
this ides, which was the nearest anddearest wish
of the hearts of the Duke and Duchess, has been
abandoned, by an intimation received Irons a high
„quarter that such a step was wholly unnecessary,.
and that great offence would be given if carried
into execution. The consequence is, that the
patriotic wish of the Duke is given up, and
neither his Royal Highness, nor his amiable Con-
sort, will revisit England for a very considerable
period. The Duchess's brother, Prince Leopold,
has been on a visit to them, but his return to
England may now be shortly expected.
*4-* We insert this among our daily extracts
from the London Journals, for the gratification of
our Country Readers, but we consider" the inti-
mation received from a high quarter" as totally de-
stitute of foundation. Indeed, there is no ra-
clonal or conceivable reason why such an intima-
tion should have been given.

The Election for Westminster is, by the High
Bailiff's precept, appointed for Saturday next ;
but we understand that the nomination of Candi-
dates only will take place upon that day, should
any poll be demanded: tor, according to the Sta-
tute of the 25th of the King; the High Bailiff, or
any Returning Officer, is invested with a disct•e-
tion to postpone the poll until the next day (Sun-
day excepted) after that mentioned in the precept.
Ot this discretion it is said that the High Bailiff
means to avail himself, in the event of a contest,
and in that event, therefore, the pull will not
commence until Monday. No hustings will, it is
supposed, be erected tur Saturday.—(lbid.)

Extract of a Letter from liamburgh, dated Feb. 2.
" General Gourgaud, who is still resident here,
has recently applied to the Austrian Minister in
this city, for permission to reside in future at
Prague. To this application he has received an
answer in the affirmative, but with the condition
tacked to it, that he must submit to be removed,
if necessal y, and at the will of the Government, to
any oilier part of the Austi ian doininions. Gene-
ral Gourgaud has refused the indulgence on those
terms, and intends to remain in Harnburgh for
wine time longer. On the 2d of February is the
200th anniversary of the establishment of our
Bank, which is to be celebrated with unusual so-
lemnity. Medals arc to be struck in honour of
the day. The conditions of the Loan entered into
here in behalf of the Danish Government have
reached Copenhagen, and it appears have caused
some dissatisfaction in that city. A Committee
has been appointed to determine whether it shall
be ratified, or if any other proposition shall be
made. Meantime the royal obligations have, in
cot:sequence of this event, declined greatly in
value."
