TO 'rim EDITOR OF THE SUN.

SIR--1 shall not stop to comment on the atro-
cious murder of the Duc,de BERRI, or on its evi-
dent object. But, if the French Government has
any strength or %visdotn, it will instantly• repeal
the Saliva' Law. Thus only, can the villainous
Radicals of Fiance be defeated. Talk not to me of
Charters or Constitutions—the Monarchy musT
he preserved-1 care not at what price.--.-Europe
is entitled to its preserVation.

To the FREEHOLDERS of WESTMORLAND

Said I not well, that Mr. BROUGHAM is sure of
his'snug seat in the next Parliament ? The con-
stitutionality of such an avowal, 1 shall not dis-
-I►nte with this learned person ; but he has most
assuredly, and with ,most signal assurance, de.
elated in .the House of Commons, that :either in a
Court of Justice be shall defend a certain High
Personage, or sit in judgment upon her in a higher
place.

19 it Irinchilsea he is so sure of ?—lf so-, he has,
as be was truly told at the last Election, no occa-
,ioit for your votes. Is it West/nor/mu/ lie is so sure
01?-01)st-rye then, I pray you, how cavalierly
he reckons upon your subservience to his specu-
lation. Ann do not forger, Gentlemen, the opi-
nion which this popular advocate entertains of
popular meetings. The most important, the most
rightful, and ►he most honourable occasion triton
which British Freeholders can meet, he 'terms
" the mire of the hustings." I trust, that the
mire" of Westmorland is too clean to be•sullied
by radical feet.

TO THE ELECTORS OF DEVON. )11111E.

BROTHER FREEHOLDERS—The regretted event,
which has brought our Parliiment so .near to its
dissolution, will speedily replace in your hands.
a Briton's most important function. It ever there
was a time, when the faithful exercise of your
privilege could become an imperative duty, it is
now ; %Olen you have so touch need of honest
Representatives, to defend the State against its
inveterate adversaries.

I would not willingly charge any man with a
dereliction of his public trust ; or suppose that
OUT County could have selected 'Members wil-
fully negligent of her interests, 01 deliberately
careless of her good name. Unsoundness of judg-
ment is, however, almost as heavy an offence in

Representative, as iinsoutittne.s of heart ; anti

assuredly is as complete a disqualification. Tile
man who could conscientiously think the late
enactments oppressive, must as conscitntionsly
have thought the proceedings which they restrain
"just and laudable : I, for one, have little desire
to con-tide my share in the Legislature to such a
conscience. The Constitution and the Religion
of England can' stanch but small chance before its
operation. It may be very honest ; and so I dare
say it is ;—but it is neither wise nor firm,_ while
it accounts their defence an act of despotism, or
their surrender an act of liberality.
Upon this principle, I anxiously wish to see
the great trust of our County placed with a Se-
nator, whose opinions are not only vecll intended
but well directed. In a word—for it were idle to
express this wish, or to offer this advice, without
an avowed object—l desire to see it confided to
Mr. BASTARD a Gentleman, too long and too
well known among us to require my eulogy. His
unshaken adherence to the Constitution in both
Church and State, offers an abundantly sufficient
pledge ; and we may rest insured, that voice
-will always be honourably and "faithfully raised.
Brother Freeholders, I call upon you to fol-
low the example of Somersetshire and Lieces-
tershire, and so to assert the honour of your
County. Let its send into Parliament a Gen-
tlemen, on whom we may rely in every dan-
ger ; let us confide our Representation to one,
who will prove himself the active champion
both of the State and of the Church, against
all their assailants. Tice ensuing Patlianient will
have duties to perform, great and ardnimis. Di-
affection masks herself antler the most popular
presences and Revolution hides her dagger be-
neath the cloak of liberty ; attacks all
Religion with tinbatld rancour ; while the ad-'
versaries of our pure Protestant Church endeavour
to possess themselves of her sanctuary rider the
promises of support, and with the purposes of-
sobvcrsion.

In a crisis like this—and assuredly the picture
is not overcharged--we need the combined ser-
vice of integrity, spin it, and wisdom. We shall
find it in Mr. BASTARD ; and by confiding to
Him the most important.trust -which-an English-
man car► receive, we shall consult riot oily the
general good of the Empire, but the particular in-
terest and honour of our 'wive County.

A. DEVONSHIRE FREEHOLDER.
