FOR THE SUN.

MR. 'EDITOR—The following thoughts from
Fenelon, Archbishop of Cambrai, on our Con-
stitution, deserve to be inscribed on Mad)le in
Letten of Gold. Do me the favour to deposit
them in your Loyal Pages, for the benefit o► our
Contemporaries. Your's, &e.
S. C. Y.

" The Parliament can do nothing without the
King, and is Rot the King then powerful enough ?
The King can do nothing without the Parlia-
ment, and is not a King happy in being free to
do all the good he wishes, and in having his
hands secured when he desires to (to evil ?
ya'stqy..._wise 'Prince ought to wish to' be only
the executor or the Laws, and to. have a su-
preme Council which may moderate his au-
rhority. The despotic tyranny of Sovereigns.
is a crime against the rights of human na-
ture. The despotism of the multitude is a blind
and infuriate power, which rages against itself.— ,

A people wanton from excessive liberty, are the
most insupportable of all tyrants. The wisdom
of every Government consists in finding the me-
dium between those two fearful extremes, in a
liberty which is regulated by the authority of the
Laws alone.

But men, who are blind to their own welfare,

cannot confine themselves to that medium. Sad
condition of human nature ! Sovereigns, jealous
of their authority, always wish to extend it ; the
people, enthusiastically attached to their liberty,
strive to augment it. It is better, however, to
endure, for the love of order, those inevitable
evils which are found in the best regulated States,
than to throw off the pike of all authority, by

incessantly yielding to the fury of the multitude,
who act from the impulse of lawless passions.—
Every kind of Government is necessarily im-
perfect, for the Supreme Power can be vested
only in 'men ; and every form of Government is
good, when those who govern wish sincerely to
-produce good. In theory, some appear better
than others; but in practice, the weakness, or

the corturriou of men, who are all subject to the
same passions, exposes all States to nearly similar
inconveniences. Two or three men almost al-
ways lead the Monarch or the Senate. The wel--
fare of human society, therefore, will not be found

in changing and in ovekthrowing what is already
established ; but in convincing Sovereigns that
the safety of their power depends upon the hap-

pines, of their subjects ; sod in persuading the
people that their solid welfare demands subordina-
tion. Liberty, without order, is a licentionsness
which leads to .th.spotism : order, without liberty,
is a slavery which ends in anarchy."

FROM THE MORNING PAPERS OF THIS DAY.

[The British Press.]

Tun KING.—The apprehensions which we ex-
pressed on Monday, respecting the state of his
Majesty, we fear are too well founded. Our con-
temporaries of yesterday contented themselves
with merely copying the account in The British
Press ; and, therefore, threw no new light upon
this important and interesting subject. We learn,
however, from our own sources, that his Majesty
is considered in a very critical and alarming state.
His appetite, it is said, has forsaken Wu); 'And his
strength rapidly declines.
