IBEG leave to inrorm you, that ever since the
year 1790, I had been afflicted with the Lues 'Venereal,
which, from its obstinately resisting every course of medicine
prescribed by the most eminent of. the faculty here, and un
dergoing severalscvere courses of salivation, and twice dis-
charged from the Hospital with little relief, would appear to
he of the most inveterate nature. In tLe spring of last year
my disorder had got to such a head, as nearly to put a period
to my existence—l bad a large ulcer on the crown of my head,
one on each arm, and my legs were brake out in a frightful.
manner ; my right was dreadfully painful, and had been in a
state of ulceration for the last seven years ; my left had also
two large nodes on it, was very mach disColoured, and gave
me such excruciating pain, particularly when warm in bed,
as nearly to deprive me of rest; in this lamentable state, I
was recommended by Mr. J. Thompson, (who received so
great a cure by them here), to take your Leake's Patent Pills,
which I began to do on the 26th o. May; in tide course of a
fortnight I began to receive benefit -ill little more than a
month the ulcers on my head and arms were soundly healecl—
soon atter, the sores on my legs healed also; leaving, how-
ever, considerable discolouration in the skin, and pain in the
bone of the left, which, by the bliszing of God, 3ge.l a little
longer perseverance in your invaluable Medicine, subsided
the nodes disrefising, the skin regaining its natural hue, and
the nocturnal pains gradually going off.—l thus became, by
your liberal advice and medicine, perfectly free from all my
former complaints—have recovered my former spirits a nd
strength, and run become jolly and fat.,•in which•state having
continued many months, to the astonishment of all who knew
me, I am at a loss in what terms to express my gratitude, but

FOR THE SUN.

Mit. EDITOR—The Managers of the Patent
Theatres, although very ready to adopt all the
meretricious melo-dramas of the French stage,
rarely think it worth while to offer to the British
Public any Foreign productions of real merit and
moral interest. The FATE OF CALAS, a piece an-
nounced-for performance at a Minor Theatre,,and
which, as the play-bill 'states, has attracted all
Paris, was, 1 am told, strongly recommended to
the Managers of both Patent Theatres, as a melo-
drama of much stage effect, and possessing a
deeper interest from real facts, than many of our
most admired plays, in which the events are the
highly imagined pictures of the authors. The re-
ception of this piece at the Minor Theatre, if the
Manager has only done common justice to the
original, although 1 and inclined to believe that
_with his talents he must have improved rather
Chan_ injured it-its the translation, will convince
the Managers of the large Theatres, that the
public taste is not yet so vitiated as to be pleased-
with shewy melodramas, whose success rests
upon the scene-painter or the musician, to the
exclusion of historical facts, calculated to impress
a salutary lesson upon the spectator.
-

As the story of CALAS is somewhat altered in
the piece of that name, which has been played I
in Paris during the last three or four -months to
crowded audiences, whose tears proved their ab-
horrence of the religious bigotry which distin-
guished part of the last century, antitvhich is still
evident in some of the highest personages of the
-French nation, and in almost the whole of the
Roman Catholic Clergy, the public may not be
displeased with an abstract of it, and its applica-
tion may be made very forcible, if we associate
the clamours'for Catholic Emancipation with 'the'.
unrelenting persecution of Ronian Catholic tenets,
which arc as binding upon the holders of them. in
the present day, as they were upon the cruel
judges of the unfortunate merchant, JEAN CALAS.
JOHN CALAS was a respectable merchant of the
of 'Minimise, where he had married arr En-
glish woman of French, extraction, . and related to
the'first Nobility ot Languedoc. In 1761. the fa 7
iii[y' of Calas, his wife,
and two 'sons, all Protestants. Lewis, another
son, who had become a Roman Catholic by the
instigation of a female servant, was settled
Where, cin'a liberal animity allowed by his excel.:
lent fattier, and the servant herself had been
linerallyprovided for. Mark Anthony, the eldest
son, had been bred to the law, bat as his-ente—
ing upon that profession depended upon the per-
formance ot certain acts which, as ruProtestant,
he could not submit to, he became morose and
discontented, and fregoently rushed into, dis-
to..the grief of his parents, who threat-
ened and remonstrated with him to little purpose.
On the 13th pf October, 1761, M. La Vaisse, a
young Counsellor of Boordeaux, visired the
and sot 'dawn..with them to supper. When
they came to the desert,.An! bony left the table,. and
went into the kitchen, -as he used to rjo The maid
asked him if he was cold ? He answered, Quite
the contrary, I burn ;' and then left her. In the
.
mean time,.Calas, with La Vaisse and the rest of
-the family, retired to another room, where they
sat itS conversation until ten o'clock, when La
Vaisse retired to bed, Peter Colas, the second son,
accompanying him with a light to his chambor.
Oti the ground floor in which Peter and La
Vaisse were to sleep, was a warehouse. When
they
,came down stairs
a..they found Anthony hang-
ing hi hia'shi'et from bar, which he had affixed
across the folding doors for the purpose. On
this horrid discovery they shrieked out, and the
-cry brought down old Calas, who rushed forward,
anti taking the body in his arms, the bar gave way,
and they both went to the ground together. The
distracted fattier hung over tl a body of his son,
whilst the two youths stood by stupid with
amazement and horror. The mother, alarmed by
the cries of her husband, ran towards the ware-
house; but La Vaisse prudently stopped her, and
prevented her coming at .the time to a knowledge
'Of the fatal occurrence. Peter had sent. for a
Surgeon, who came instantly, and upon taking
off the neckcloth saw the mark of the cord, _and
pronounced the death of Anthony to have been
caused by strangulation. This particular had not
been told, for the poor old man, when Peter was
going for the Su'rgeon, cried ont, '' save, at least,
the honour of my family : do not let 'it be known
that your brother has destroyed himself."
By this time, a considerable crowd was collect-
ed in the streets, and some who had heard the
cries and exclamations of the family, and also,
that the Surgeon had prowounced Anthony to have
been strangled, took it into their heads that the
young reran was about to turn Catholic, and was
murdered by his father for that reason. Some
said, that Anthony was to have abjured the next
day, and that. Protestants were bound by their
religion to strangle or cut the throats of their
children, ilthey expressed a &sire to become Ca=.
tholics. La Vaisse; who was known to_be a Pro-
testant, was said to have been deputed by an as-
sembly of the Protestants, to act as-executioner
, on this occasion.

The poor fatlier, who was still hanging over
the body of his son, was advised to send for the
officers of justice_ to project bitn from the mob,
who threatened to tear him to pieces fur having
murdered Anthony. he‘Cspitonl, or Chief
gistrate of Th o ul °us e, was already set out with 40
soldiers, on the alarm of the murder which had
reached him, and entering the house, took vely
member of the family, svith La Vaisse and the
Fervant into custody ; a physician and rwo sur
;;eons then • examined the body for tie purpose
of discovering marks of 'violence, lot fooml none,
except the impression of the ligature on the neck
—the hair of the dectioed was curled itt its usual

manner, and not at all disordered ; his clothes
were regularly folded up, and laid upon the coun-
ter, and his shirt VMS 'neither torn nor unbut-;,

toned.

Notwithstanding these appearances, the Capi-
tool gave into the opinion of the mob, and threw
all the accused Ponies into dithgeons. -As no
proof could be adduced, the Ciapifoul had recourse
to a monitory—in- which the crime was taken for
granted..—This monitory recited, that La Vaisse
was the executioner in. ordinary Of the Protes-
tants, when any of tlkelr, childre,l were to be
hanged for changing their religion; and that
Anthony died a Raman Catholic.
The funeral of young Calas was performed with
extraordinary pomp, all the Priesthood and Ma-
gistrates attendinK, and the trial of the father was
commenced immediately afterwards.

The Itangntan, who had been shewn the place
where Anthony hung, swore that it .was
ble for him'ro bare committed the crime himself ;
another witness swore that he had peeped through
the key-hole of the door, and saw men running
to and fro and a 014;4 swore that his wile had
told him. that a woman named Mandrill had
heard the cries of Marc Anthony at the further
end of the city. Upon this evidence, the ma-
jority of the rarliament decided upon the guilt of
the accused parties, and seven Judges condemned
Calas, who was 68 years old, to the wheel and
torture, and then to he immediately executed.
Galas bore the torture with great constancy, and
as the flames gathered round his body, his last
prayer was for his persectrors.
Donat Calas, another sou, 15 years old, was
at Nismes when he heard of his father's death,
and was advised to fly to Switzerland, where Mr.
de Voltaire received him.

The polinlar outcry against this family wp
such,'lhat every body expected to see the child-
ren of Calag-broken upon, the wheel, :qicl the
brother but at. Even the Attorney-General
had declared that this would he the case in con-
sequence of the poor defence that they had made
against the, in his Opinion, well founded charge
of murder.

Another•hrrather, who -was only banished, soon
after !brew himself into the arms of Voltaire ; this
great Poet once convinced of the innocence of the
family, devoted his purse, his time, his influence,
and tips credit, to have the proceedings revised by
the Council. This revision occupied
more than three years, and it, was not till the 9111
of March; 1765, that the mother and other ac-
e,ised Fries were released from prison. It is
only jostice to the King of France, to state, that
be publicly recognized the innocence of Cale!,
and settled a considerable sum of money upon
the 'family.

ORATOR HUNT.

(From the Yorkshire Gazette, April.l.)

We have been favoured by a Correspondent
with the following particulars of HENRY HUNT,

" Henry Hunt, the celebrated Orator, is :a na-
tive of North Wilts. His father was a farmer of
some opulence ; and his son Henry, in the'early
part of his lite, engaged in agricultural pursuits,
and generally attended the torn-market at, D.e.
vizes, where he used to Preside as Chair-
man at the farmer's table. His arobitiOn. Soon
led hint' . to aspire to a cOrnmission in the
Wiltshire Militia, which he obtained ; -and his first
military achievement,-as reported, was a challenge
to his Colonel. This instance of insubordination
was checked by the Colonel's appeal to a Court
of Law, which afforded Henry an opportunity
(said to he the first) of diSplaying kis oratorical
talents in his defence. He married Miss Ildcomb,
daughter of the Landlord of the Bear Inn, at
Devizes, whom, ere long, lie deserted and he
now cohabits with a married lady. His restless
spirit also displayed itself in annoying his neigh-
bours and trespassing on their, Jands in pursuit of
game. Notices were served on him to desist from
such a practice. These notices he disregarded and
consequently actions were brought against him
to recover damages, as a wilful trespasser, which
lie personally defended. And to this circumstance
he owes that consummate assurance, and that
flow of elocution, though not of reasoning, which
he appears to:be master of. At one time be set
up a common brewery in Bristol, professing to
brew genuine Beer, from malt and hops only, as
it was. supposed brat the
,hrewers in that city made
use of deleterious ingredients, in addition to malt
and hops. However, it soon appeared, that
Hunt's Beer .neither suited the palate nor. lin-
proved the constitution of the Bristollaol ; and
this scheme.tailing, as he could not improve the
cons:itution of his custotners, be turned his
thoughts towards improving the constitution of
his country. With that view, he offered
self a candidate for the representation of the
City of Bristol, and had recourse to every low ar-
tifice that lie could IrOssildy devise to allure' the
mobility to his in:crest. This scheme also proved
unsuccessful. lie then became a violent Demo-
crat, and, at every County Meeting, he never
failed to attempt to gain attention to his democra-
tied! harangues. But, to the honour of Wilts, he
.always met with such reception as his merit, and
he prioeiiiles he was desirous of inculcating, de-
served. These various disappointments and
buffs are supposed to induce him to take so active
ft part in the measures, which are so justly repro-
bated by every well-wisher to the excellent Con-
stitution of this Country, and the happiness of his
tellow•creatures. The measures he has had re-
eoorse to are tOo well isuoxn to require e2plana-

tiaa,"

iU 1I E GENTRY OF II'Eta:II()RLAND.

The circumstances of your County in the two
last Elections have shewn to you how its character
has been altered. Westrnorlan'd has undergone—l

regret to use the epithet—a radical -change.
Until Mr. BROUGHAM was put forward to dis-
pute her representation, the lower orders were
religione, and Jpeaceable, .and industrious. I do
not any principles which
were directly unchristian, or turbulent, or dis-
solute ; arid yet, his colltest....has.renderetlithem all
these. It has excited in them a spirit of discon-
tent, and violence, and insubordina,ion; which
every friend to Westmorland's welfare must
deeply lament.

In the first place, it has nnhinged the ancient
end confident coonrxinn between the hiahcr -Anil
the lower dosses. It has divided—not their in-

teresfs ce►tii ohlects.

There

longt•r exists Among them that unanimity, Which
it the morn»l product of protection and attachment.
The danger of this cannot be confined to the
higher orders. If they no longer receive their
accustomed deference, it is not in nature that they
tiotild extend their acenstomed kindness. The
lows r orders must consequently experience the
rt.-action of the mischief. All reciprocality of
gonad will he destroyed ; all reciprocality of evil

will be enctetiste..
In ISIS, the gertn of this misfortune was
planted. In 1820 it has grown up into a wide
spreaditts.7, tree. Mr. littouGnsst. like a practised
Reformer, set about extending the Electoral Fran.
chile, atul I:is supporters crewed by wholesale
new Freeho'ds. The numerical preponder nee of

these would have taken your representation out
of the hands of the Property, and transferred it to
the Population of Westmorland. It became
thert'fore, a less mischievous alternative, to mul-
tiply the evil than to permit its success. On your
parts. you were obliged to imitate the measure
which. you disapproved, and to incur the injury
whereof you ecknoltledged the danger. What
Mr. BRoUGUAM'S patrons did to subvert the re-
presentation, yon also did to secure it. You like•
wise created new Freeholds ; and thus, by ba-
lancing the numbers of the Electors you have
contributed to eller the- test of the Election.
Had the consequences of this measure been de-
cided by its motives, you would have no share of
its evil to encounter. But, unfortunately, the
same act must have the same results ; no matter
by whom done, or for what. Your small Coun-
ty, which in 1818 polled 2160 Freeholders, in
1320, has polled 700 more. Of these, Mr.
DRouGHam, by the we:Her alertness of his pa-
trons, obtained nearly 450 ; the remainder were
created by his opponents, and voted against him.
Thus, y u see, the opinion of the County re-
mained precisely as at the former contest. The
action and counteraction of the new votes ba-
lanced each other ; without any immediate effect
upon the Representation ; but with a permanent
injury to its future character. The E"ectora
Franchise of IVestmorland is now brought very near
to Universal Suffrage ; and so long as this crea-
tion of new Freeholds shall be resorted to by one
party, it must be followed by the other. Hence,
each concurs and co-operates in the evil. I can-
not calculate on a worse or more discreditable mis-
chief befalling our County, than being represent-
ed by Mr. BROUGHAM, but it is hard, that the
mischief cannot be prevented at some less sacri-
fice than the subversion of her Electoral capacity.
To you, Gentlemen, it may be some alleviation,
that you did not commence the evil ; butt West-
morland finds in your excuse no diminution of her
own injury. It may be palliated as to you ; but
as to her, it cannot be lessened. As the boun-
daries of a County cannot be enlarged, a multi-
plication of its Freeholds can give to it neither
new territory nor new wealth. The soil, whether
previously non-electoral, or divided into new
Franchises, had already its virtual or its actual
weight in the Representation. To cut up one
• large Freehold into an hundred small ones, changes
the Electoral state, and renders it numerical in-
stead of territorial. It does-not increase the pro.
. perty of the County, however it way multiply its
population.

This is an enormous evil—it places the Elec-
toral power in the bands of the lowest Electors.
These, of course, must be the most ignorant, the
most prejudiced, and the most accessible to
corruption. Such men, for instance, as Mr.
BROUGHAM persuaded, that—would they but elect
him for their Representative, three millions of
taxes would be taken off by his single voice, tea
sold for sixpence a pound, and tobacco given
sway gratis.—Such men as were taught to be-
lieve, that if he were Member for Westmorland
ha could Make a more sweeping Reform than as
Member for Wincheisea. Mr. BROUGHAM trust
iwar to be told, that there are more ways of cur.
than through the pocket. Ignorance my

be practised upon Ass aft-dually as avarice. The
educated ignorance, especially ; which our Li-
berals are so much fonder of teaching HOW TO
