FOR TIM SUN. AIR. EDITOR—In the Papers of this day, read 411 account of a ceremony that was performed yes terday in the Bird-cage Walk, that alarmed the txceediogly—a member of the Coldstream Regi ment of Guards is said to have been drummed out for dishonest practices ! NOW, Sir, being a bit of alteformer, though a layal,man-au bottom, l more than suspected this account to he incorrect and garbled, to answer the purpose of the Boroughinongers, and that in fact the gallant Corporal, conscientiously impressed with the iniquity of mnrtlering in cold blood thou sands of innocent, harmless, and inofensive PenPle, and of the obloquy that attaches to a red coot, for upholding a system that requires such mea sures, had--seceded. To confirm my suspicions, I hastily referred to The Morning Chronicle and The (01(1) 71171P3, folly assured that the Soldier, if lie had not written, bad at least published a long letter, explanatory of his conduct and of his motives for so seceding. in order that ,his name :night be transmitted with those of WYVILL, GREPNOUGTri t and STATYLTON, to all the Radicals in Great Britain ; but I fear this is an evil to come, a blow yet to be struck. That a simple J.,stice of the Peace should slink from his duty in times of peril, or that a couple of Volunteers should rat their posts when appre hensive of their services being required, though afflicting to the loyal breast, yet is so much in the natu r e of- things, that the pungency of the dis tress occasioned is as evanescent as the loyalty, courage, and consistency that created it ; but, that an Officer in his Majesty's Army should se cede from his Country's Service, hoist ratfical Colours, and immediately go over to the Enemy, is truly alarming !!! But I.trost that the evil ]gas arrived at its - elimax, and that the Corporal (I wish I knew his name) has given a coup de grace to the principle of abandonment of euty. Should I be mistaken, I wiluld suggest in all fu- ture cases, that the ceremony used in the Corpo ral's case should be adopted. The noose round the neck of the Seceder, and the Rogue's March, should he indispensable. The propriety of their sinnl;ecoion can never be questioned ; they are radically appropriate, and may afford a hint in future radical processions. Nov. 12. A BIT OF A REFORMER. FOR THE SUN. MR. Enrioa—Much has been slid by people ignorant of the state of the Pope's Government, respecting the affair of destroying the little Town -of Sonnino ; but the fact is, all measures have 'been tried to correct the licentiousness of that place For above a hundred years hack, without the smallest success—even the French, when in possession of Italy, could not keep them honest; or their troops in safety there ; and the present Decree, and its execution, was attended with no small degree of danger, many thousand troops laving been necessary to surround them, so as to make the whole community prisoners. Three thousand of the tnen were marched into Rome, and dispersed into the different compa nies, perhaps one or two in each division, others sent to the gallies, others to the roads, &c. ; the aged to the hospitals, the young women to the convents, and other places ; but the fact is al lowed, tl►at as the inhabitants left their Louses, troops entered and unroofed them, that the de struction might be complete. Sonnino is s!tuated at the extremity of the Territorio del Lazio, about eleven miles from Ter racina, and is the last town of that 'district bor dering on the Kingdom of Naples, from which it is only separated by Monte Cerceo ; it lies about three miles to the left of the upper road to Ron►e, above the Pontini Marsh ; but which, on account of the iubabitants of the Town having been so long knowti to be robbers, no one has of late years used, the new way through the Marsh from Torre tit I Mole, being shorter and better, as more level, and on the ancient Roman way trom The Sonninese were all so accustomed to rob. "bet y, that it is said few families could be found these who were free from the imputation ; yet in the Town no one was ever plundered, and you might safely sleep in these houses, with even a trea:ttre exposed ; they never attacked but on the highway, making it a point of honour to take all plunder in arms, insomuch that few of the young men were without twounds. They never killed those who did not resist them. They are said to hive beets good cultivators of the soil, and are not charged wi;li any want of affection to their off 'spring. They are said to have kept vessels as ,Terraciaa, in which they embarked to commit tr , hbrries.on the Coast of Naples. In the Pope's States they advanced often to Albano, within 18 miles of Rome, where they seiztll people in their houses for ransom. They paid no taxes, it is said, and u'ere perfectly lawless, not :offering a Piiest to live among them, unless lie was a native of iheir commu►:ity ; in a word, they were, and had long been,,what our new Radicals would willingly be, if the Government would permit them. _ S. C. MIDDLESEX NIEETING. Tistre was a Meeting, we +i d! not say a Radical Meeting, though Major CARTWRICHT was the {.chairman, at-the Mermaid, Hackney, yesterday. Few persons attended of any degree of respecta bility, except ,Mr. BYYG. one of the Members for the County,'J. CLARKE, Esq. of Enfield, and a Re verend Doctor, named DRAPER. The Major read the Requisition which . had convened the Meeting, and then briefly stated its purpose.—He was fol lowed by Mr. CLARKR, who expressed the same sentiments, in almost the same words, which we have detailtd over an,d over again, respecting the Manchester transactions. Tn the course of his speech be manifested his respect for the Crown, by asking if it would be unconstitutional to petition that the prerogative of the Crown to appoi:Jt Justices or Aldgi3trates lboolil not be continued." He concluded with proposing sere r►l Resolutions correspondent %vitt) the tenor of his speech. Dr. DRAPER followed him, and de sc►ihed the scenes of Manchester in a style tha was evidently d►rived from the Opposition Jonr nals, and among other declarations, not very Con sistent with the charity of a Christian Divine, he affirmed, that '' Ministers had long been try ing, and had thought to put down the People with one blow;" those Ministers who bad saved the People and td►e Country from all the dangers of French hostility, and had indeed es•en 'ially contributed to the deliverance of Europe ! ! ! Mr. BYNG, after the Resolutions had been pro posed and seconded, came forward to declare his sentiments. He was 'hissed, because he declared that " he did not feel disposed to support sly Resolution that might convey unqnalifieti censure on the Magistrates of Manchester." Such was the candour and justice of the Mee►ing ! ! He objected to Annual Parliaments and Universal Sof- fraje, as without a precedent in any Government. His speech, on the whole, was as liberal as could be expected from an,Opposition Member. After the Major had put the various Resolu tions, and had received the tl►anks of the Meet , in;, a Mr. IVII,D arose " and demanded with an irresistible voice to be heard as a freeholder of Middlesex. He hoped while he was expressing of his sentiments none of them would ofer to inter• rapt hint. He had purchased a freehold in that there county ; having witnessed the impropriety that had taken place there along time,he was determin ed to make a stand apinst it, and to oppose despotism. If Radical Reform was alloWed, it would be the destruction of the nation, and he trusted Mr. Byng would not allow it. He had seen the Whigs in power, though he was not a Whig, no, nor a Tory either, and he was sure if they were in power now, that that there business at Man chester would not have taken place. The Whigs went out on a principle, on the Catholic Bill. If Radical Meetings took place they would injure such respectable Meetings as that before therm" A Mr. SATCHP.LL rose to reply to the last Gentle man, but the Meeting did not favour hint with a hearing. A vote of Thanks was proposed and carried unanimously to NI r. Byng for his constitutional conduct and constant attention to the wishes of his constituents. Mr. BYNG, in returning thanks for the honour conferred on him, expressed :he high sense he entertained of public estimation. It on a great consti:utional question he should ever have the misfortune to differ with his constituents, he should resign the trust they had reposed in him. He lamented before the fewness of numbers, but he felt quite certain that had they been ever so nu. rnerotts, they 1% otthl have conducted themselves it the same way they had done—e way which it was impossible to misrepresent. for though he bad ditieted with them on many important points, yet they had @hewn him the sane attention as if he had neen fortunate enough to agree with them on every topic. He felt grea►ly gratified by the ho nour they bad conferred on him. Immediately after Mr. Byng sat down the Meet ing was dissolved, without proceeding to any Ra dical excesses. NATIONAL CALAMITY. When we first heard of the resignations 01 Messrs. WYVILL, GREENOUGH, and STAPYLTON, we expressed our alarm at the loss which the Em pire had suffered On so divressing an occasion.— lire perceive that our terrors have been contagious, and have already excited apprehension in the Sister Island, as may he seen in tie following Ex tract from The (Dublin) Correspondent, of the 9th inst. a Paper always alive to the interests of toe Kingdom : "The most unfortunate public occurrence that we notice just now, and, indeed, one for which we hardly know how to condole with the Empire in suitable terms of grief, is, the awful relinquish ment of their Commissions by Niessrs. v% ill, Greenough, and Stapyli on. Who are those ?r our Readers will naturally ark.—'l'o this we answer— we do not know ; except to say, that the two first were Officers of Yeomanry, and the latter a country Justice of the Peace ; but it cannot be less than a very serious thing, we are sure, to see a poor little Empire, which had, at one time in our memories, fought so gloriously and so victoriously against the world in arms—which bad, but x few short years ago, headed all that ii ad virtue and courage in the world, until the common Oppressor was yoked to the earth —which has.diffused knowledge and liberty over the face of the globe —t% hick corn mauds, at this moment, all the commerce and trade that has recovered since she redeemed Europe—H IVe received this morning the Paris Papers of Tuesday and Wednesday lan.
