proper."

We refer our Readers to the Parliamentary
Reports on the subject of New CHURCHES, anti
earnestly hope that the People, a 3 well as their
Representatives, will display the utmost liberality
in support of a measure so necessary to our wel-
fare here and hereafter ;—a measure which THE
SUN has repeatedly and zealously recommended,
and which shall always receive our warmest sup-
port. For the honour of the Country, we trust
that noparty differences will tnix with a subject
of eternal interest to mankind.

We find that a respectable Evening Paper, t)f
the same politics with our own, has changed its
sentiments respecting the proposed formation of
a French Army, to the amount of 240,000 men,
and has declared that the argument in favour. of
the measure " appears to be destitute of solid
principles." We are glad to find that our opi-
nions, which have been always the same on this
subject, are supported by so respectable authority,
and we presume to hope that our arguments have
had some weight in exciting so different a view of
the subject in the quarter alluded to.

Our Port Letters this thy contain nothing of

importance.

We have before stated, and we now confirm
the assertion, that Tua SUN is become attractive
and popular at Paris, for this reason, because the
people there, as well as in this country, rely on
the information which it cowtnunicates, on its
political consistency, and on the independence of
its principles. Our comments 'on the conduct of
the French Ministers, instead of exciting their
resentment, has induced them to regard us ‘vith
increased respect, because we have manifestly
the real interest and honour of the French Mo-
narch, and of France, in view, and anxiously wish
to see him, if possible, wholly rid of ,all
Noway Connections. The followers of the late
Usurper must he venal and ambitious at best,
but they also must he strongly impregnated with
the Jacobinical Character,
,a character that aims
at universal subversion merely to exalt itself. It
is painful to see an amiable, Monarch hold any
connexion with such men. The King of France
is known to be learned and wise, and his wisdom
has been improved in the School of. Adversity. It
is impossible therefore that such a King can act
from any other feelings than what relate to his
own honour, and the honour and interest of his
country. We shall therefore persevere on all oc-
casions, to the utmost of our humble power, to
bring disgrace upon all Jacobins, wherever they
are, and to contribute to their downfal. Galig-
nani's Messenger, a Parisian Journal, thought
proper to insert the letter of our Correspondent
at Paris which appeared in Tile ScN of the 3d
inst. and The Pablicest, another Parisian Journal,
copied our observations on the French Ministry,
expressing our hopes that they would effectually rid
themselves of all Jacobin associations. Our Cor-
respondent has promised us a regular communi-
cation of whatever may be important or interest-
ing in the French Capital, or that may reach it
from other quarters, and, depending on Iris judg-
, tnet4, as well as his knowledge and veracity, we

shall 4,kvayt give theM infzrtion as soon as tie
receive them. Our Correspondent 'admits, wile
indeed is too well known, that "flitelements Of
Revolution have not entirely sphsided\in France,'
and we rear that,io this re-select he spfe~ks~ss'itb
tow much leraernes's dOpbt
ribttha't those revolUtionary 'elements are to be
found strongly, though secretly operating, oPt
only in France, but in every part of Europe'
Our Correspondent adds with truth and justice,
that it demands the greatest caution not to cell
those revolutionary elements again into 11040'
In the present state of things, perhaps persuasion
rather than force is the best practical wisdolP
The ULTRAS, •as they are called, perhaps depooll
less on their own strength than on the counts'
'lance of other States, and hence it may be difficult/
however their principles may be respected, to
keep them within the bounds of discretion. JO
they will probably find themselves greatly ruis'
taken in such dependence. No other State to
likely to embroil itself on their account, and the

European Powers in general will hardly interpose'
While they see that France, as a people, is Pe‘
likely to shake their own safety, or to disturb t/P°
tranquillity. The Count de CAZES, as far as we eo°
judge, seems to act with firmness and true Hid'
and, otherwise, if we are rightly informe6
France would have been involved in a new rte/°‘
lotion ,twelve months ago. He appears to bate
the confidence of THE KING and of the Duke ti`
WELLINGTON, and if be continues to bold the
Jacobins and Ultras with an even hand all md-
f:te safe, for perhaps should either triumph, t"
great struggle of Europe, during twenty-five yeao'
would, as .ve have before observed, be throWl)
away, the reign of terror recommence, and tii*
World be involved in new horrors,
