FOR THE SUN.

Mn.- EDITOR—Not having an opportunity of
perusing your Journal until the present moment,
I shell be obliged to shorten my communication.
I therefore beg briefly to observe, that the symp•
tonzata diacutica, which appeared in our ever-to-
be-revered SoverterGN's health about two months
ago, were not only indicative of a change in the
general stamina of the constitution, but also that
nature was rapidly sinking beneath the pressure
of years ; since it is a medical fact, attested both

by opinion and experience, that when a patient
betrays such symntomata about the hyemal sol-
stice, such patient rarely survives the vernal equi-
nox; yet some have fallen with the tailing leaf in
the ensuing autumn, and this may account.for the
Bulletin issued at the time.

A BRITON.

THE REPUBLICAN.—(No. T.)

A Paper entitled'TH It REPUBLICAN, Will not he
expected to appear in THE SUN ; nor wonld the
Editor' have expected to receive it from the pen

which he will at once recognize. Yet so it is ;
nor will the cause be long mysterious. I write
not, undoubtedly, to eulogize the character of
a RePußmcati, but to display it ; not to recom-
mend, but to expose his principles. If any of
your Readers should consider even the name to
he a blot to your Paper, they may reckon it only
as one of the spots in the Sun.

So little am I afraid of the name, that I rejoiced

when first I saw a hostile Paper announced under
that title. It tvas speaking out, it was throwing
off the mask, instead of continuing to fight older
false colours. You know, Mr. Editor, that lung
ago I was earnestly employed to convince you and
your Readers that a Republic was the real object
of those who pretended only to seek Reform. I
demonstrated that Universal Suffrage was actual
Republicanism ; and Annual Parliaments only a
step from it. But when this was at length fairly
and openly avowed, all that labour was at an end;
and the choice might deliberately be made between
the real Constitution of the Country, and that
which it never had, but for eleven years of misery
and tyranny, in the seventeenth century ; that is,
between the best and freest Government that ever

existed, and the very Worst that human perverse-
neasFverdevised. It you put us to such a cioice,
the tiuest•iun-. is easily decided.; but if you Wind

our eyes, by pretenditag to reform or restore our
excellent\ Constitution, we may fail into the snare
before we perceive the datiOr. -
Such service has been done; even by the hos-
tile REPUBLICAN. Mine, however, is of a diffe-
rent kind. .1 propose to give the natural and ci-
vil history of the animal, and then, if any people
think it right to encourage the breed, let them
do it at their peril.

First, then, " What is a Republican ?" That
is, what is the temper of mind which leads a man
to assume that character.

~-. •
the foundations of the character ttre pride, sel-
fislwess, and obstivacy. The Republican cannot
bear to acknowledge a superior. Though igno-
rant, he wishes to direct ; if wise, be supposes all
wisdom to centre in himself. The supremacy even
of God is not much to his taste ; for which rea-
son, he is inclined to be, and often is, an ATHErsr.
Such was PAINE, such is his rotten bone-bearer,
&c. &c. &c. The Republican has a total disregard
for tha feelings of others, for which reason his,
public measures are harsh, and his private con-
duct tyrannical. That he is obstinate is a neces-
sary consequence of his pride and selfishness ; for
as he thinks no one wise enough to controul. him,
so does be feel that no wish of another ought to
supersede his own. Upon his own views and de-
sit es he has made up his mind, and every thing
else is unworthy of his regard. The first REPUB-
LICAN was the Devil. But it ended in his plaiting
himself the Despot of Hell.

Do I say thaitsock is of necessity the character
rr•
of ever y Rep 4. By no means. But I say
and affirm, t?' 4:* :AI re the dispositions which
lead to the .at sort of Government ;
and particularly those which tend to change other
forms of polity into that of a REPUBLIC.

Much more is to be said upon this matter. But
of that hereafter.

The children of Mr. FINIGAN'S School, in
George-s•reet, St. Giles's, were yesterday plenti-
fully regaled, in honour of the Accession of King
GEORGE Trig FOURTH to the Thfone, with a (ho-
ner of roast beef, bread, podding, potatoes, &c.
at the sole expellee -of Airs. COUTTS. After an
impressive address' from the Master, the whole of
the little innocents drank with three times three,
out of tankards of porter, the following toast :
" God blest King GEORGE THE FOURTH, and
grant him a long, htapp►y, and prosperous reign;
and we pray Cod will make us grow up to be
.10P11 and f.l.4tifirl subjects to him."

Extract of a Private Letter from Paris, dated Jan. 24.

c. You tia`ve seen in most of the French Ne,-vs
papers-the proper manner in which the 'Ai ?liver'
nary of the wirder of Louis XVI. %vas observed it
Paris and at St. Denys. At the latter place it
supposed that all the Royal Family would be preset)
except the King, whose infirm health prevented hi
tiodergoing the necessary tatigne. In tact they 3)
were there, with, I believe onlyame exception.—
You may judge what was z.ny surprise, when, o.
walking up the Rue de la Paix, between twelve
and One o'clock, whorl) should I meet but tib,
Duke of- °dram, who not only did not go to S:
Denys, hut thus publicly told the world that
paid no attention to this day of disgrace to hi •
country, and sorrow to his family; by shell,'
ing himself in the most frequented part of
Paris, while all the Royal Family were corn:
memorating in prayers this melancholy event:-
IVhat could be the ground of this conduct ?4,1
Was be afraid of offending the memory of
father, who, unfortunately for him, bore sOr:
remarkable a part in the trafisactions of those
times, or was it a little revengeful return fur what
he conceived a slight paid to him at the christen.
ing of the Duchess de Bet ry's child ? In which,
however, his conduct was more like a 'pettish
schoolboy than a man of sense. lie surely eau-
not think that such conduct will gain him the
good opinion of one of his coontryinen, at least
of one worth having. The Duke is said to be a
man of sense : let him not spew that he wants
the most valuable and most useful par t•of it—that
of common sense."

Suictog.—Sunday night, Ann Hindle, a young
woman who resided in Milford-lane, Strand,
found in her bed-room, suspended by- a cord.
