ciTizr,N HUNT. MELANCHOLY rsDisposrrtON OF CiTlZr,:i THOMAS tt vN.r. : believe it to be wholly unnecessary to assure Our Readers, that no .intirnalist•of the present slay entertains a deepe7 abhorrence .of the politics end :proceedings pf Mr. MINT than the conductor of this paper. Up to our lost publicet ion, we have undeviatingly relit-Mimed tire' Misibievons course of conduct pursued by dolt unhappy man. Not withstanding all this deteitation and hostility, our feelings have been subdued into 'lionised compas sicM, fit'a piece of intelligence which reached us on Satnrday evening Wit. Mr. HUNT is at present in a state of strong, and, we fear, incurable men tal derangement: For a wretched teing.labouring under this roost ,deploroble of human: calamities, the bitterest opponent must cherish a sentiment of pity. All physical suffering sinks into nothingness, when contrasted with the dreadful mental malady Which we have just "'liveried to.—We protest :Most solemnly that lee should have preferred hearing that Mr. HUNT haul been )ranged, rather than that be should heve.been visited with the in! tellectual infliction which now so horribly buini lives him.—ln order to secure the sympathy of the Public, we shall now proceed to communicate the details which have been supplied us respect ing the lamentable progress of Mr.` [losr's :dis order :---On the morning of Friday it was ob served by some friends who called upon Mr. VUNT, in order to accompany him to the Meeting in Spa Fields, that there was a more than usual 'incoherence in his conduct, language, and manners. Contrary to the earnest exhortations of his corn :patriots, he dressed • himself for the Meeting, and 'betrayed in his whole deportment an: aristocratic foppery, which very considerably tended to Weaken the regards of his staunchest adherents. •It was remarked too, that Mr. litirrfs oaths 'sitre more refined and classical than he hall been .accnatomed to use in his (milky '.of popular blasphemer, As a conclusive indicant of some portentons Change, it was noticed that 'Mr. HUNT assumed a lofty and condescending air' towards his former compitiOns, which however well-Meant, was certainly • very ill-taken—Mr. HuNT's speech is already before the public ; but although there *re some palpable proofs of alienation of mind in that energetic oration, it was reserved for the critical vigilance of his immediate friends, co , :de. Itect more infallible symptoms of derangements in Certain eccentricities of ids conduct. For ex•- iuple, Mr. ilosyr quitted his plebeian elevation Ott a Hackney-coach, and addressed the people front one of the windows of the " Loyal Polun tter,"—antl thus screened from the winds without, and warmed with good brandy placed providently within, he declaimed his two long hours to the tldranun'd and unsheltered multitude.--,-ln the course of his speech too, Mr. HUNT wandered into episodes which were little relished by the friends of equality. A passage accusing Mr. CANNLNG of being " a new man," utterly unable to trace a long line of noble ancestors, gave particular umbrage to the " Green-coated Orator" (Mr. MALL), who temarked, with much fairness and not less asperity, that Reformers had no busi ness to talk df jinny-ologies, as nu man had a tic:terra right to have ancestors to the prejudice of other worthy citizens." It would be incom patible with our present purpose and limits to re cord all the inconsistencies committed by Mr. Bowl., and which his friends (now that his mi serable state of mind is ascertained) recollect to have been markedly indicative of insanity. At length, however, the removal of Mr. Hour to his hotel, by the instrumentality of certain asses who suffered themselves to be yoked, in the room of the nobler animals dismissed by acclamation, exhibited the second stage of his terrible indispti sition. Mr. HUNT, in a majestic attitude, fre quently expressed his satisfaction tic 4 . 4 the sub-, missive conduct of the mob," and muttered some ,tbiog about his bowing better than the Peiptce RKOZNT, whose ,Mansion and State Coach be hoped he should very soon have the plea atwe of residing and lolling in. The patriot : mite. stood nearest asked Mr, HUNT, 1f he alluded to the approaching Reform ? Upon which the Orator, whose reason began rapidly to fail, replied, in the words of SHAX•SPRAItit, "114 moats shall he the Parliament of &Omni." " What yon, Tons HUNT," exclaimed another blend of eqoality—" Hence 'forward," again quoted Mr.HUNT, front time same Poet, " it shall be treason for any that calls me other'than Lord 'a - ft...." We could not 'collect the title, butt we werastrock with the air of freniied dignity with which Mr. HUNT delivered his decree. pn lag Past Somerset-house, some jolly tars, who had been Inquiring about prize-money, stopped Mr: We?, in order to add their testimony to ltiVpre ',loos declaration, that he had seen many thon sand distressed ,tailors passing by his house. Oue honest, rough-knot, who haulthe loak of a Boat swain's mate, 4341 he could not runieh for Mr. HUNT'S ;numbers, but we Was ready to avo* him *drone of a gang (in - the nautical' sense) who had arrived at Mr. HUNT'S residence in very tress, and who had been desired to pass an, as fulfr. Eltrwr assured him that be 'never Should he guilty - of such rnenones as to relieve men who had peen' silly enough to fight the French at the instigation of those mad Admirals of the PITT' Steamy, NeLsoN and EXMOUTH. Mr. HUNT swore very indignantly, that he had never uttered any such winds ; and to the astonishment of all present talked ofappointing one of the Bristol Wharfingirs First Lord of the Admiralty, and promised a large naval promotion on his next Birth - tlay. Mr. Mtn' here took out a paper and made several meats., one of which, we afterwards saw, was for the dismissal of the present Secretary to the Ad miralty, whose promotion on the score Of talents, worth, and wit, looked too like a reform in the State, to accord with the present notions of Mr. HUNT. Until the coach was. dragged •to the door of. Cooper's Hotel, Mr. HUNT Continued raving at intervals about " his household," a new .Palace in the. Park, anti grants in reversion of .all the tellerships of the Exchequer to the respective branches of the HUNT Family— On reaching Cooper's door, Mr. ilusiT was hur ried up stairs by as many of his friends as - his unfortunate malady had left him, and a consulta tion was held in a separate room, as to the best steps which could be taken with respect to the now-declared lunatic, Mr. DYALL proposed to send ,him back to his family ; but Mr. COaDETT, who haul just arrived in town to collect the pro ceeds of his last twopenny Register, over-ruled the suggestion of the Green-coated Orator, anti recommended an immediate strait waistcoat, with the strictest confinement in a public asylum, As Mr. CUBBETT very consistently remarked, no in dividual holding opinions in diameter with those now promulgated in the Register, is entitled to re main at large. " I was myself imprisoned," said Mr. CoefieTT, "for ditTusiog politicalhnowledge," and to avenge that imprisonment ant now advising the people to cot the throats of their oppressors and mine. But although I justly deprecate incarce ration in my own special . case, 1 look upon it as both legal and salutary, when inflicted upon persons who, •by the influence of corruption or insanity, endeavour, by 'opposing tilt doctOrtes., to diminish the salt of the Political Register. I consider. added Mr. COSBETT, that individual as a beast, who does not see that the Cosßerr family cannot accumulate property to vest in the Funds, unless ... the Newsmen in all parts of the Empire are wil ling to actept the sinecures of five pounds per ann. which I have pointed out for their acceptance Vol. 31, No. 2n, page 623. During this " puff collateral" of the Political Register, Mr. 111)NT remained in the close custody of four Irish Chair men, one of whom had been in the service of Mr. Wellesley Pole, and having been taught to read poetry by his master, jeeringly desired his strugling captive " to wage no war with Bedlam or the Mint." This mention of Bedlam precisely nn the entrance of the consulting .friends of Mr. HU NT, led with the utmost promptitude to a decision concerning • his disposal.—" Call a coach," cried Mr. DYALL, to a waiter. Thit cautions personage having wit nessed a scuffle respecting the payment of the yahoos who had dragged home the unhappy maniac, declined drawing upon himself the responsibility of the tare, Mr. CoBBETT also exonerated him self, declaring that his son at No. 192, in the Strand, having been importuned by a starving printer whom he (Mr. COBOXTT) had turned off • for drinking the King's health in a gratuitous pot of porter, Mr. WM. CoIICHTT, jun. had made :he lettered, hungry-one a present of two copies of the Register, which would wholly ' prevent him from treating his frantic friend to a. coach. At lengtit, the Irish Chairman before-Mentioned, offered, with all the ardour and kindly generosity of his countrymen, to pay the fare in Dublin copper, making a liberal allowance for raps, and exchange. These preliminaries being ad justed, the wretched Mr. Hunt was log xed into the Hackney-coach, No : 658, and - conveyed to the New Bedlam. Mr. CoattETT stretruously objected to the number, which he .said reminded him of the present constitution of the House of Commons. But the honest WA Chairman reconciled bias at last by bidding 1‘ his honour recollect .that the coach was to be bought, like a rotten, Borough—and moreover, that it, yielded half a dozen states." This being a hint for the 'next itigister, Mr. ColitHiTT wont off in very good humour. In a future Pallet we hope to submit to our Readers the minutes of what oc• coned during visits made to the luckless Mr. HUNT by several noted Reformists.
