FOR TUE SUS.

Mr. EntTort;--Though I, and the Public in ge-
neral, must feel much indebted to you for giving
daily extracts frem the LONDON, as well as the
Ptto*lNtiat. JOutINALs, yet I cannot but condemn
you for not annexing some observations of your
own upon particular occasions, in order to caution
your ReaderS from giving too easy a credit to
what the LoudOn Journals May contain. For
.•idstance; iti your Paper of this day, you have
giVen twat extracts; occupying no small portion
of your Paper, from The Morning Chronicle of
this day, one relating to South America, and the
other a letter from Madrid. You cannot but
knos'e, Sir, that whatbver The Morning Chr.on'icte
may pretend, its hostility, iiot.Only to the Go-
verntnent of this Country, but to legithhate to-
vernment hi all Countries, isAviotis; and that its
political prinCiples in no respect differ froth those
of CoIiBETT, HUNT, WitTsok, and Woo Lea; 'anti
the'refore,it was your bounden duty not to take;
as yoli have done, those extracts as Matters of
fact, but to have intrned your Readers not to
receive Chem with implicit credit. The Public of
London are indeed suflicieritly aware of the
arti-
fice and pernicious tendency of every :hint, that
The Morning ChrO dicte May contain upon in7ittical
subjects, and therefore read its insidintis, or its
daring columns, with wholesome distrust or in-
dignation ; but your Country Readers may see no
mOre of that Paper than what you under
your head of LoNtioN JOURNALS, and therefore
may consider what yOu extract Irma it as matter
of fact, witch it appears without caution or com-
ment on your part. This is a reprehensible ornis!..
sion, Mr. Editor, and I hope that you will avoid
it in future. The probability is,, that the articles
purporting to come front South America are sent
cut Ond dry, as the phrase' is, to The Morning
Chronicle, or 'receive a -calotik•in'g front the Editor,
according to his evident wishes and notorious
principles. Such is most probably tie case with
respect to the
.South Awn lean article in question .;
and as to that professedly from Madrid, it is
equally probable that it was written in the Strand,
or furnished by some disloyal; democratical Spa-
niard, who dares not retUt n to his own country.
.1 have been so long a Reader of your consistent
Paper, and have always been a, eonstant sub-
scriber to it, when in town, that my respect for
its character induces me to address you on the
present oceasinn; and seHousfy to reprehend you
for the omission 'Which I have above noticed.
October 10. VtAToR.

P. S. By the way, 11/r. Editor, in the article
taken from The Times of this day into your Paper;
Lord tASTLEBEAGH is stated as having declared
at Aix-la-Chapell'e, " thtit hiS motive for wishin;
dispatch is that he may be elkabled to return to the
House of Commons in the beginning or towardl
the middle of November, with the Treaty in his
pocket." Is it possible for the most credulous
Reader to suppose that so cautious a Minister
would have made so incautioirs a declaration
It is well remenitiered, however, that that great
Political CharWhin, CHAnLus Fox,_ once boasted
that be had " a Peace in his pocket'," and per hapi
otie of admirers transmitted the article id
'Cluettion. _

*.i* We are by no Means offended with our
Correspondent, but acknowledge t he juitness of his
' censure. Yet, in his occasional rambles from town,
he cannot, of course, be iiipposed to have a regular
sight Lie SUN in its daily courie, for, if be
had, lie would have seen that we often caution
our Readers in . generSl against implicit confi-
dence in the articles which appear in The Morning
Chronicle, and which are held forth as foreign.

But as we ailthit the propriety of his re—
marks, and the danger of the omission, we shall
