its 11-1 E PUBLIC.

Mr. TAYLOR, the PROPRIETOR of THE SUN
NEWSPAPER, being desirous of lessening the La-
boor and Solicitude attending the Conduct of a
Daily Print, is willing to part with a portion of
it to any Gentlemen of Talents and Resources,
whose Political Principles correspond with those
which the Paper has always supported, and who
would be inclined to
.co-operate in Manage-
ment as well as Literary Composition. He would
rather at once dispose of the whole concern, if
he did not venture to conceive that the steadiness
of his 'Political Character - has excited the con&
deuce of his Readers, and that his long experi-
ence may reasonably be supposed to attach some
credit to his competency in the conduct of is
Public Journal. He conceives also, that in these
swtnl and threatening times every Public Man
should remain at his post, in order to contribute,
to.the utmost of his power, towards the defence
of our inestimable Constitution. Several In-
dividuals have offered to purchase the Paper;
but as it was founded under the immediate sanc•
tion of the late Mr. PITT, the Proprietor deems
it his duty to consider it as a Political Legacy
left by that Illustrious Statesman- to his Country,
to maintain and perpetuate those Principles which
are most conducive to the security of the State
and the happiness of the People. Hence the Ad-
mirers of that enlightened Minister and true Pa-
triot may think that a Paper instituted by him,
and for such important objects, should be offered
to some public spirited Body, actuated by higher
considerations than mere regilrd to pecuniary ad-
vantages, and animated by zeal for the general wel-
fare ; or at least to any other whose interests may
be cent hdly united with the interest of the Conn.
fly. To such Persons the Proprietor would most
willingly dispose of the entire concern ; and,
however anxious he may he for repose, after limey
years of toil and solicitude, he would readily act
as their Agent so long as his superiutendance
might be required. It cannot he necessary to
dwell 011 the high reputation which Tue SUN
has so long possessed, in consequence of the
undeviating consistency of its Political Character,
tied the uniform propriety of its general Conduct.
To support a Government acting'on the system
of Mr. PITT is the main principle by which the
Paper has been directed, and only by a firm ad-
here:ice to that system can it maintain its charac-
ter. It is obvious, however, that a steady attach-
ment to a System which comprehends the safety
of the Constitution, by no means implies a ser-
vile concurrence in the Measures of any Admitti-
stration. . But while THE SUN perseveres in the
same direct coarse, it may reasonably expect the
support of the present Government, on account of
its Political Principles, and the reverence due to
the memory of its Illustrious Founder., since an
indifference to the fate of such a Paper, on the
part or a PITT ADMINISTRATION, would be a Sole-
cism, as well as a reast °deli, which it is not likely
to incur. Nish not less confidence may the
Paper rely oe the protection of the Pea-
TeSTANT CHURCH, 89 it has So strenuously sup-
ported it that is supposed to be peculiarly
patronized by THE CLERGY ; among whom
it certainly can boast of many valuable Cur-
respondents. Indeed, as THE CLERGY must be
well qualified, by abilities and knowledge, to in-
struct the Community at large, and, in these
times, should consider that they have duties
to fulfil as Citizens as well as Pastors, they
might very properly possess theinselves of a
Paper which would not only enable them to
spreid right principles in general, bnt also
to check those licentious and isripious• doctrines.
which are daringly inculcated with malignant
assiduity, and are manifestly intended to destroy
the Religion and the Government of the Coun-
try. The Proprietor may confidently expect the
support of the PITT CLUBS throughout the British
Empire, considering to whom THE SUN owes its
origin, and from whom they derive their appella-
thin. ANNUAL CELERRATIONS of a BIRTH-DAY
ate of little use, and must fall into languor and
decay, unless effective means are taken to diffuse
and support the Principles upon which those
Associations are professedly established. Tea
SUN may also expect the support of the REGULAR
SOLICITORS throughout the Kingdom, as that
Paper, and that alone, has zealously endeavoured
to maintain the honour of the Legal Profession,
by exempting it from all irregular Practitioners
and discreditable Intruders. Finally, 'file SUN
may look to the Pauses AT LARGE for patronage
and encottragement on account of the steadiness
of its Principles, its Public Spirit, and its reso-
lute endeavours, on all occasions, to promote the
Honour and Interest uf.the Cottony. Such,•then,
is the Opportunity which the Proprietor now.
offers to his Cohntrymen; and as it presents A
'.11,;T TO PUBLIC VIRTUE, and to GENUINE PA-
TRIOTISM, he should insult the National Cha-
rtism if he were not to suppose that.among the
admirers of Mr. PITT, and Friends of THE CON-
STITUTIoN, many wise, independent, disinterested,
in.ig,.acithous BRITONs will be found ready, at
for I wild crisis, to unite iu order to become Pro-
pristors of a Paper which so obviously possesses
psrldiar and prOndoent claims to National Pro-
leoi,s..—None but Principals need apply in
Per•oo, or by Letter, (post-paid) addressed to
the Nolo-tie-roll at THE SUN-OFFICE, 112, Strand.

N. This Address will be continued till the
opportunity which it presents has been fully snb-
witted to the United Kingdom; nor will the
Proprietor hastily close with any offer, a 4 he can-
not hot conceive that, in reference to the revered
Founder of the Paper, and its established charac-
ter for political cohsistency, the Proposal held
forth tends to ascertain the extant of Public
