Si li,—ln the Morning Herald of Friday last, May 7, time is a letter addressed to you, wherein my tsatne is introduced 11 ur 12 times very uncourteously, to say the least of it. But as the waiter, or supposed writer, has not had the courage or the ho nest) to put his name to it, and as it is published without any date or addrcsa, I take leave to send this brief reply to you, assuming this positi o n, t h at y ou are e i t h er t h e aut h or o f t h e said letter, or, what I consider very nearly the same thing, that you have made it !our uwn by sanctioning its publication, without giving me any other clue to judge from whom it came, save that of your name be. en v ; placed at the head of it. the first place, Sir, I have ever held, and still hold, that man to be either a coward, or worse, who publishes a personal attack upon another, without giving his own name and address. ThiA raid letter professes to be an answer to, or critique, upon, 0:11c proceedings that were reported. in the Morning Mankl, to have taken place at a Meeting of the Radical Reform Association on day auntie month, but what month it does not state; nei. then is it even pretended that I was present on that occasion; how. it appears that the discussion was upon the Bill brought into tits house of commons by the Marquis of Blandford for Reform ; It father appears that some one of the speakers at this meeting resumed to designate that part of the Marquis's plan called lloutrlioltler Suffrage " monstrous injustice," because the speaker thou i tht it would exclude two-thirds of the population from vetia 4 at elections, and that, out of the payers of 00 millions of only those who pay 13 millions would have the right of %oraig, whilst it would exclude those who pay the remaimng 47 millions ; upon which, after lavishing great eneomiums on the Mar. ftlis's bill, the writer falls into a violent passion, and instead of an. +weritlg either the argument, or attempting to prove the incorrectness of the a.sertion, in good set terms uses the following elegant epi. 'ucts, and calls the following names f— ist. 3lr. Hunt's learned lawyers. 1. 11 r. Punt's men call it. 3d. Mr. Hunt's men the vanity to suppose. 4th. Mr. Hunt's men say. 521. .!r.

Now, ;sir, permit me to aak you, who are reported to be a . .;:rolvtila ti and an upright and amiable man, how you can yourself to the world in sanctioning such matter as the Ante to be publishtd? The putting forth of such vulgar unnicaning abate might, for. a moment, gratify the bad pat.sion s of a little grovelling mind ; but do you, Sir, believe that 'itch trash as the above will add one leaf to that laurel with which would wish to deck your bro.? Do you, Sir, think that such .ititnelinin g trash will injure me in the eye of any rational and re. :heat% man ? The writer says Mr. Hanes men say this, and do that. By :his he wo u ld in s inuate that those who attend the Radial Reform Association, that the 110,000 p ersons who attended the Radical Doming, that the Meeting of Merchants at the Egyptian the Freeholders of Surrey, and the Livery of London, who "metioned, unanimously the resolutions which I proposed for Radical Reform at each "lace ; in fact , if he Inclea" all those "ho are advocates of a real and Radical Reform, Unieerad xiiji.uye, Annual Parlionsenit, and Vote by Maki ; —if he I .t.tns to say th at a ll t h ese , w hi c h i nc l u d e nine.tenths of th e' people } ink:hind—if he m ea ns to sa y t h at a ll these are Hat's men, why r. lie pays me a much hightit compliment than ha intended, or has I can possibly merit.

It next appears that the Editor of the Morning Journal has In that wretched paper declared something ; to which t answer , that miserable man is in Newgate, and the miserableis defunct and I give you, Sir. and your friends, much JO T papering such an advocate and such an associate. Next, the writer la shocked at Mr. O'Connell being my tool, to which 1 answer, this is as ridiculous as it is contemptible. Then the writer is rejoiced that the Marquis of Blandford resisted my at tempts to get him implicated and committed to the doctrines of Universal Suffrage. " But Lord Blandford had then no suspicion that Mr. Hunt was a Government contractor." The fact is, that, two days before Lord Blandford brought forward his motion in the House of Commons I had an interview with him at his noprert, l at the Star dice, and as he asked my opinion I gave it him pretty freely, and I certainly urged him We abandon his Bill of half measures and to adopt another, which would be far the liberty of all. His Loedship said be could not agree 1 Universal Sufrage, but that he was a decided convert to the " ballot." I thought this a great point to be conceded by so young and se aristocratical a Reformer, and I complimented him upon it. In speaking of his plan of householder suffrage, I pointed out to him its fallacy and its injustice in the following words Look, my Lord. moss the way into Nor. folk.street, in the Strand, and you will at once have a fair ape cimen of your householder scheme. The houses in that street, for instance, arc mostly lodging.houses ; the ground floor, the fi rst floor, and the second door, are occupied by lodgers, who pay from two to four guineas a week for each floor, and spend probably between them from two to three thou sand a year. These lodging-houses arc mostly kept by women, who have no vote; neither, of comic, has either of their lodgers; but then there is a man w ho keeps the lodging-house; he lives in the kitchen underground, and probably does not spend more than 150 L a year ; he only has a vote, while the heads of the three families who live above, and who spend front two to three thousand a year, have no vote at all." Lori Blandford im mediately acknowledged the hardship and injustice of this, and ex claimed how couuld such parties be represented without resort to universal suffrage ?" My reply was, " you create this dif ficulty by departing from principle." However, his Lordship can. didly admitted that he was staggered, but said, " It is too late now for me to alter my Bill ; it has been drawn up and revised by a constitutional lawyer, and it is gone to press ; and be might have added, " My speech that I intend to make is also in the press, and I have not time to make and learn another " but he repeated, " / am a convert to your opinion as far as the Lan." But the writer says I am a Government contractor, and be insinuates that had Lord Blandford known this, he would not have listened to me. It is per fectly true that, during the last two years--that is, between April 1828 and March 1830-1 supplied the Royal Marines with just 2,100 tin boxes of paste blacking, at threepence each box, amount ing to the enormous sum of twenty-six pounds five shillings. This is the amount of my contract, which ceased on the 10th of the last month, as will be seen by the following notice " 36, Stamford-street, April 10. " To Sir James Cockburn, Bart. Paymaster and Inspector-General of his Majesty's Royal Marine Forces. " Sir,-1 do hereby give you notice, that from this time I shall discontinue to supply the Royal Marines with blacking.—l am, Sir, your's respectfully. H. HUXT. " Red. and delivered by T. H. Hart." The history of my serving the Marines with blacking is this. I knew that during the war, and up to a very late period, soldiers paid &I. a box for paste blacking, therefore I made an offer to Sir James Cockburn to supply the Marines with blacking of the very best quality for 3d. a box, provided he would cause the marines to be sup. plied at the same price ; my offer was accepted, and since I have dope this the men have got their blacking at 50 per cent. less than they ever had it before, and the Government have been supplied by me at 25 per cent. ess than they ever were supplied before; and had the army been supplied with all their materiel throughout the war on the same moderate terms, there would not at this time have been a national debt of 6d. Do you believe, Sir, or will any rational believe, that the paltry profit arising from this insignificant tun-. 'action of 261. ever had, or was likely to have, any effect open my po. litical actions or words s I am sure you do not believe any such thing. But, Sir, give me leave to ask the writer of this attack upon me what has bec ome of my Lord Blandford ? We have not heard any thing of him since the birth of his ridiculous Bill. Has the Government whispered ought into his ear that has caused him to be mum ! What has become of the author of the letters signed " Sydney," which were published in the Star Newspaper? Is it not quite as likely that the Mar quis has an understanding with the Government as that I have ? He is silenced, aid lom not! Take my word for it, Sir, Lord Blandford's bill was a " fl ash in the pan," and I shall be much surprised if we hear any more of Sydney's letters, or of stopping the supplies by repeated motion of adjournment till grievances are redressed. The fact is, the " ridiculous Bill" submitted to the House of Commons by Lord Blandford, was calculated to damn the fame of any politician; it was a subject of ridicule and contempt for every man in England, in and out of Parliament, ex. apt Mr. Thomas Attwood, of Birmingham, and the majority of the political Council of that town. Lord Blandford feels this, and I am very much mistaken if he has not, in consequence, abandoned that one-eyed line of politics for ever; and moreover, I think it very probable that we may never hear the Marquis's name ever coupled again with that of reform of any sort.—l am, Sir, your obedient humble servant, H. HUNT. P.S. I should have noticed this attack before, although it is anonymous, but I never saw it or braid of it till this day. TO THE EDITOR OF THE MORNING HERALD. SIR,—My attention has been arrested by a letter in your number of yesterday's date, addressed to Mr. Thomas Attwood, and signed " H. Hunt. Whenever I perceive in any statement that which strikes me as a wilful misrepresentation, I am induced to think that some sinister object is in view and as in this letter of Mr. Hunt 1 notice one of these seeming wilful misrepresentations, I shall not stop to ask myself what may be the aim of its author in making it, and in mark ing it by Italic characters, but do at once and unhesitatin g) nounce the statement to be groundless, and do declare my belief to be that it is likewise wilful Never at any moment of my life have 1 dreamed of soliciting an interview with Mr. Hunt; and if the party (who upon the occasion referred to did, I admit, bring us to gether) so acted as to impress Mr. Hunt with the belief that I wished for the interview, I assert that a gross deception was practised on Mr. Hunt and myself. To me it was by that party represented that Mr. Runt anxiously desired the introduction, in order to prevail, upon me to take the Chair at the great Metropolitan Meetingthen in contemplation. The dictates of common courtesy led me to accede to a personal inter view, wherein 1 might, as I then did, respectfully, but thinly, re fuse to lend myself in any shape to the object In view. Part of what 41r. Hunt states to have passed between us at that, first and last, meeting is correct—part is otherwise ; but this is mat ter of small moment ; and whatever rejoinder may follow this de claration, 1 wash my hands of Mr. Hunt, reproaching myself for having ever yielded to a mistaken sense of courtesy, and for having , brought myself into contact with one of the bitterest enemies the question of Parliamentary Reform ever yet encountered—one of the best friends the faction of a corrupt Oligarchy ever could have anti cipated the possibility of drawing to hs Md.-1 have the honour, Sir, to be your most obedient humble servant, May 19. BLANDFORD. TO THE EDITOR OF THE MORNING HERALD. Staniford.street, May 110. Stet—ln your paper of this day the Marquis of Bland ford has thought proper to make some observations, purporting to he a reply to a statement made by me in a letter addressed to Mr. Thomas Attwood, of Birmingham, and which was published in the Merrany Herald of the lath instant. In that letter I stated "that 1 bed an interview with the Mar. quis, as Ns mune, at the Star Offiee." The Marquis admits the bet oldie interview, and the general correctness of my statement to what transpired at that interviews but the Marquis 'denies the interview took place as his repeat, adding, "l 1 de seism hesitatingly pronounce the statement to be potuaillems mil do clue my belief to be that it is likewise " tlegir st 14 07 moment of my life have I deemed soliciting an interview with Mr. Hunt." Now, Sir, I admit it to be very pa sible that my Lead Bland. lard never dreamed at ell about any thing it the asst, and that ho Welt have boa *maim when he mob the coottatilstiat PRICE 7n. in your paper of this day; but, Sir, a plain statement of facts, which will be corroborated by others as respectable end as ho nourable as the Ma rq uis himself, will. I trust, bring him to his meollection, and say you, Sir, and your readers, that my state. *mu is, in every owed, to the very letter. I have been in the habit of social for some time with • gentleman than connected with the Orr se steer, and with others then warm admirers of the Ilampb these gentlemen were fre. queryq eadlivadog ispawki nas that his rdship was as pure nefriot as esteripaind tie sonde at Bridsh history, and in proof of this they laid belbosswi the letterset Sydney, publislud in the Star, which letters wore aidrossed to the King and written by the mar. quip, a fact that he moldy avowed ; and from the strong language In which they were cetwissd, they drew this conclusion, that, like another Sydney, or a snood Hampdeo, be was willing to shed his blood in defence of the rights and liberties of his countrymen--in truth, that he was a real radical reformer. I admit, bit, that I was rather sceptical upon this point, and I argued that the violent language captained in the letters of Sydney was not of itself suf. Ikeem In my eye to stamp the author of them a radical reformer ; however, to put this to the proof, I ptoposed that the Mquis should be invited to take the Chair at the Great Metro poli tan Meeting, then in contemplation ; adding, that if he assented to this, that I shoed abandon my doubts, and hail him as a real Mend of the rights of the people. This was agreed to by all pre. sent, and, as I understood, one of the party made this proposi. tion to his Lordship, who at once declined the honour, and, as I thought, gave very satisfactory reasons for not accept. Ing it. Upon which Mr. O'Connell was solicited to take the chair, which he unhesitatingly accepted many days before I had the Inter. view with Lord Blsndford at the Ace of the Star newspaper, there. fore, it was quite impossible that I could have wished an interview with his Lordship, In order to prevail "upon him to take that chair," which Mr. O'Connell had previously agreed to take. However, to the point at issue—whether I solicited the in. I terriew with Lord Blandford, or whether he solicited the interview with met One morning, about 12 o'clock, Captain Henley drove up to my door in a cabriolet, and said that the Marquis of Blend. ford was at the Vim. Office waiting to see me, and that he had been requested to come over after me, and bring me back in the cabriolet, i as the Marquis was in a hurry, and could only wait a short time.- 1 My answer to Capt. Henley was, I cannot return with you as I am engaged ; but you will do me a favour by informing the Marquis that I will be with him in half an hour from this time. Having trans. acted the business I hadin hand, I went over to the Star Office,where I found the Marquis waiting for me, to whom I was introduced, and the conversation took place hich I have before described. Capt. Henley is a man of honour and a gentlemen. He called upon me yesterday, having seen my letter to Mr. Attwood ; he volunta rily stated, in the presence of several other persons, that every word I had written upon this subject in that letter, was literally true ; that he came over for me at the Marquis's request; that he was in the Star Office when I returned from the interview ; and that I then and there stated the exact substance of the conversation which oc. cured, which exactly corresponded with that which I published in my letter to Mr. Attwood. Now, Sir, you and your readers will be perfectly competent to decide, whether in my letter to Mr. Attwood, I made any wilful or any other misrepresentation whatever. But the Marquis says, " Whatever rejoinder may he made to this de. cluation, I wash my hands out of Mr. Hunt." Surely Lord Bland ford must be wanting in common penetration, not to have disco vered sufficient materials in my former letter to have shown that I had washed my hands of his Lordship, without vulgarly telling hint so. The Marquis further says ." I reproach myself for having yielded to a mistaken sense of courtsey, and for having brought myself into contact with one of the bitterest enemies of the question of Parliamentary Reform ever yet encountered— one of the best Mends the faction of • corrupt Oligarchy ever could have anticipated the possibility of drawing to its aid." The Marquis, you will perceive, Sir, is very angry, and calls very hard sauce. lam a bitter enemy to reform, and the best fri ed to the faction of a corrupt oligarchy ; and why forsooth ? Not be cases I tricked the Marquis into an interview, nor because he tricked me into one ; but because I hinted that 114 the said Mar quis, had his speech printed, like Mr. Shiel, before be delivered it. Will the Marquis deny this ? There is no crime in it that I know of ; but will he deny this fact ; because if his Lordship's memory should fail him also in this instance (and he will give me leave), I will produce a man who saw a person from the Star office deliver the slips of his speech into his lordly hands in the lobby of the House of Commons. Which slips he took with him into the House, and made his famous speech with them in his hand. It was my allusion to this that has put the Lord into a passion, and which hoes made him call me names. I admit that I am, and ever he `'tea bitter eneny to his Lordship's scheme of exclusive reds.. 4. , Ner of reform, if it were ever adopted, which would ex c./I'6 19.00.MM* of the people of England, 'lreland, and Scotand, from any chars in the elective franchise. This Bill for such a put, pose l called " ridioulows"—l still call it so ; and the lordly mem ber for the rotten borough of Woodstock doe.; not like it. I said that his Lordship's patriotism was a mere " Bash in the pan ;" and I an ticipated that we should hear little wore of him and his scheme for reform. Why, Sir, in my time, I have seen hundreds of such mush room patriots ; they have sprung up and passed away like a summer cloud and are forgotten- in an boar ! And, if his Lordship had au so pettishly " washed his bands of me," I could have given him and the public a piece of information that he little thinks' lam acquainted with. If his Lordship's hands are not yet washed quite clean, and he will condescen4 merely to give me permission to speak out, I will give you, Sir, and the public, one of the most perfect specimens of the moaner and by what menu a modern pa. Wu gets puffed into notice by the public Press, that was ever ex posed to the vulgar eye of the multitude. I can truly say that, during nearly thirty years of public life, I never gavefilre *lathier; to any one belonging to the Press, either to withhold or insert any thing relative to myself. And yet the Marquis has a cheaper me. tiled of managing the Press. I know how easy it is for some persons to make prosaism, and hew easy some persons break them. I know all about the bankruptcy at ° • °°° • • I know • • • • • • . I know theconditions and the pro. mina that were held out to certain parties to • • • • • • •. I have anticipated that Lord Blandiord's pan iotism is "a flash in the pas." I ask his Lordship whether he has never suctioned this opinions I ask his Lordship this question--When he was applied to by certain parties to perform his proposed promise of pecuniary aid, whether he did not turn round upon the applicant, and say that he should retire from politics altogether ? I know of these things, and &great deal more—ergo, I am an enemy,. Litter enemy to ouch sort of Reformers—Therefore, I am a friend to a corrupt Oligarchy. But in spite of Lord Blandford, and in spite of the Aristocratical feelings which govern the actions of all such men u the Marquis, I have ever proved myself a straightforward and unbending advocate for the rights and liberties of the whole human " I am, Sir, yout's very respectfully, " H.

Sta,—lt was only on my arrival in town this morning that I became acquainted with Mr. Hunt's attack on the Marquis of Blandford, through the channel of your columns, and with the rejoinder of the Nohle Marquis, which 1 perceive io the 3foreirop Herald of to-day. lAke the Marquis of Blandford. I consider it" of small nomottn to travel through the complex entanglement of subjects wbkh Mr. Hunt has crowded together in hissecusatery letter; but I feel 113y ' self compelled to state, that that paragraph, wherein the writer as ierta that his interview with Lord Manacled took place as the re ggae of the Noble Mamas, is unwarranted by all the fact.. It was by syr request--carried In opposition to convictions en tertained by him of its propriety—that Lord Elsodfold met Its. Batt. I evens (Windt, to permit& him es tonsoot to tits Wonky s use from any disoopret In width the lioble •Marquig ci bld of tha s t p i:l i efatigabl tiadcosies e agitator,b w mi n g t ht beesuas umiir us lie n dau esterious, be i d tb esidiw out serving the public MOM I certainly WM Mc Hunt, wino I Introduced him to the Noble Marquis, " that if be would walk isM the neat room, his Lordship would he glad to see him." But this 11l the well.unthestood language of causenat courtesy., whenever a third pence ushers one gentleman into the presence at another, and =MX be construed as conveying the Noble Lord's desire of an interview, to which, in fact, be bad only just then mi nuted. Nor did I say any thing arthat time, nor ever any t hi ng su b. sequendy, calculated to impress Mr. Hunt with so extravagnnt au ides. The assertion, therefore, appears to me to be quite gratuin us : more pude:obi* so when it is recollected that Mr. Hunt had al— ready Wickes* sought Lord Blandford by letter on a public occasion, to which, with his characteristic rowliness, the Noble Marquis had replied in a strain of courtesy which disposed of the appliestiou, but left the parties still unacquainted as before, only to come togetherihrough some new occasion of ir.t oductish. As to the causes of disagreement, or jealousy, between Mr. Hunt and Mr. Mewed, they are perhaps better left uninvestigated ; but it is impossible not to witness with much concern Cale violent enmity spring up among the entionfees now, when, mole than cv,r, union is so Indispensable fee the people. Whatever itrprovements may Lc henceforth effected in our political associations, it ought never to be forgottenthat Mr. Attwood is the falter of the I.Tnions ; and it ought to be remembered on the other side by Mr. Attwood, that ta. tremor principles than his may be advocated ten men quite as ho nourable and as pure as he. " Bear and ferias," should be tile maxim of all ; and if we cannot go the whole length of our neigh. hour, we should bear him friendly company so far as we travel together. With respect to the Marquis of Blandford, I should consider it extreme arrogance, known as he row is to the country, for one so ob scure as myself to descant on his public merits. the popularity which be has acquired, and which, I doubt not, will continue to roll ineosasingly towards him, is at once the best proof both of Int servicesoand their estimation. Neither do I desire, in aught that I have said--except in so far as it sets right what baa been misrepresented-40 undervalue or disparage the character of Mr. Hunt--. 1 hate the honour to be Sir, your humble servant, LIONEL THOS.

My first statement was this--" that t had an interview ,t the Sour Office with the Marquises hie request." The Marquis denies this, and says, " that Mr. Hunt anxiously desired the introduction, In order to prevail upon nee to take the Chair at the great Metropo litan fileeteng." I rejoin by saying this could not be the fact--"fter, that the Marquis had previously been applied to, to take the Chair, and had declined it, upon which it had been offered to, Mr. O'Connell, who had accepted it.' Now comes forth Mr. Berguer, and in true Sancho stile kills off his own Knight, by giving a fiat contradiction to the Marquis's assertion. In hie letter this day, Mr. Bergner says " Hunt's assertion appears quite: gratuitous: more patti. cularly so when it is recollected that Mr. Hunt had already solicitously sought Lord Blandford by letter on a public occasion, which solicitation the Marquis declined to accept." That was, he had already declined for some days put, to take the Chair, and which Mr. O'Connell had accepted. There fore, Mr. Berguer confirms my statement, and flatly contradicts that of the Marques. But Mr. Berguer forgets to state that Captain Henley was present, and came over for me at the Marquis's request. But I leave the Marquis and Mr. Berguer to reconcile these coun ter-statements in she best way they can. I am, Sir, yours very respectfully, H. HUNT. P.S.—Without having had any communication with you, Sir, upon the subject, knowing you to be a man of honour and inte grity, I fearlessly refer any Gentleman who has doubts on this sub. Jett, to you for a confirmation of the truth to the very letter of my statements. TO TILE EDITOI4OF THE MORNING HERALD. Ala h DITOR.—As rowed to you yesterday a short expla natory statement, g certain assertions made by hie. Hunt, in a letter to Mr. Attwood, of Birmingham—which statersent, though much diaappetintedar not reading in your columns to-day, I trust to tweinserta to-morrow,—perrnit me to animadvert now upon a second bike from the‘same pen, which I find in your Paper of this morning. The amusement whirl; Mr. Hunt endeavours to create for your readers by Ida play upon the two " dreamed," used by the Noble Marquis in rebutting your cotrespoadent's observation—and his comparison, intended to be ironically pleasant, of the patriot Sydney with the Noble Marquis, who at kart had so much kindred emulousness as to think it honourable so assume the name —are so much irrelevancy into which I need not enter. When how ever, Mr. Hunt pretends that out of a conversation concerning the letters of " Sydney" arow his proposition so Lord /Handfeed to take the Metropolitan Chair in the City-road—pretends, in fact, that this offer was a snare entrap a generous and confiding nature. in the fabricestion of which snare I myself stool hors been participant ;—when, I say, he represents this offer of the Chair as a tat and proof originated ia the Star office, by which to try do principles of its unsuspecting guest, I contradict him Atty.— Of Mr. Hunt's Intended proposal to Loud /Handfeed I heard accidentally from Captain Healey 'about twenty-four boors be fore it was made;—it might be two, or even three deo, my recol. lecdon does not allow me to speak precisely—but I never heard of it from Mr. Hunt until after k had been mods, and declined. But in his anxiety to smother a fool, which it is time now should be made public (not that I see why Mr. Hunt's pride should be wounded because Lord Blandford rejected a public honour to which err: specially invited AWN) he has recourse to an artifice which I must take the freedom to ship bur. Speaking of the test which we—the Star coalaerates—had resolved to apply to the Noble Marquis, he says—" This was agreed to by all present ; and, as I understood, one of the party made this proposition to his Lordship, who at once declined the honour, and, as I thought, gave very satisfactory reasons for not accepting it." The design of this I passage is evidently to impress the reader with a belief that one ot the" Star" people, and not Mr. Hunt, had tendered the metropo litan honour to Lord Blandford ;—yet ( will h be credited ?) Ibis offer was made by 111 r. Hunt Aimsetf, in a lateral elaborate com pliment and came. solicitation! to which letter the Noble 31arquis, though in terms of diguified courtesy, returned an answer of explicit refusal. The test of the City-road Chair is, I trust, now satisfactorily dis posed of. But thief is another paragraph in Mr. Hunt's letter, which—from the felicitous knack he possesses of entangling sir camstantiaiities with fiction—requhres to be somewhat carefully esounined. He represents in that paragraph the Marquis of Blandford waiting to make his acquaintance at the Slur Deice, and Captain Het.ley despatched to Stamfeed-street to apprise hut) of the noble lord's impatience. He has made a good deal out of this ; and it is ingeniously strung together. For the tans are—that the Marquis of Blandford was waiting in my room, and that Captain Henley did me the favour to carry a message to Mr. Hunt. But the message was from sne—aor from sty Nat*, visitor—though it conveyed, as a matter of course, the intimatit that Lord Blandfoid would be glad to see him. Similar phraseo logy I attuned to Mr. limit OD his arrival at the Stier office, when I conducted him into the room where the Noble Marquis was. I, as well as lie. Hunt, can appeal to the testimocy of Captain Henley on this occasion ' • and, in his honour and veracity, if it t confident that I shall be corroborated. Capt. Hanky did not go re Mr. Hunt at Lord Blandford's request, but at mine. Neither was Lord Blandford—whom I had persuaded to stay beyond his time, in the hope that Mr. Hunt would CCM in—aware of the Ci/tillM. Meows that I had sommunicated specially with that gentleman. The Noble Marquis--as I explained to you, Sir, in my letter of yestetday—only consented to be imionOt in contact with Mr. Hunt, after I had overruled his formal and rod objections. Of mune, I did not make Mr. Hunt acquainted:with that pne ob. stacles—l did not think it necessary. My abject, iisn this 'that introduction, was to advance the caws in which we were eilarigaged, without any reference to rank or party. Such, Su—as I have detailed them to you—were the 'imam. stances under which lir. Hunt was introduced by me to the Mar quis of Blindfold. If, happily, as 1 shoat fondly hoped, this intro duction might have profited the popular isterests, I 'Muhl not reproach myself, as I now do, and ever sleet, far having soostrained a noble spirit, though with the best *cations, to disobey its in stinctive misgivings. I have the bosom to be, Sir, your humble Persona, LIONEI. THOMAS HEROUISK, May 21. Lase Editor of the Aar. TO TIES ILOITOR OF HORNING Il$11414).
