FOR THE SUN. RADICAL IMMORTALITY. "Exegi monainentuni xre pei rnnitis"— Q. H. F. Ode xxx. lib. ir. Me. EDITOR,—That HENRY HUNT, Esquire, Da. LADY, and DR. WATSON, together with Dn. ERRE, MR. LOZENGE GREEN-ENOUGH, &C. have sought immortality as far as Chalk, and Hyde• Park wall can go, which is, I believe, about a mile and a quarter, is notorious : but Sir, the renown ed HUNT has had his name recorded in a more Radical manner, and in one so appropriate to him• self generally, and most particularly at the present moment, that 1 cannot forego the pleasure of making it known to your Readers, and to his Ad mirers ! Not that I would insinuate, Mr. SUN, that these are the same individuals—Oh no ! if his admirers were able to read, I would send them to a neighbour of yours, to inspect those columns, which, report says, are valued at ONE HUNDRED THOUSAND POUNDS ! Spell it again Sir—but of that more anon—to the . point then. Passing a few days ago, near the Magdalen, I observed that the mud had been scraped off the centre of the road, and deposited at the sides. •It had lain long enough to part with some of its moisture, and vas sufficiently dry to retain an impression, which, however, it was still wet enough to receive. 1 hope, Mr. Editor, I express myself with sufficient philosophical accuracy, to be perfectly intelligible, for the case is impote ant. On approaching one of those tumuli more nearly, 1 noticed some very decent graphic specimens ; on wbich 1 put on my spectacles, and read with no less surprize than delight, the name, perhaps the autograph, (or what 1 can tell, of HENRY HUNT, ESQUIRE! ! ! just where it ought to be•---iN THE MUD ! Whether it still remains, I cannot positively say ; because I know, that it any carriages pass ed, that were up to the k—nares, it may have been obliterated, emblematic of that great character himself. But, now Sir, to the 100,0001. Why then, if any body gives that sum, or the hundredth part of it, unless they also buy Mr. Somebody along with it, they will be in the situation of a silly Nobleman, who purchased PUNCH, hut for got to buy the gallantie showman ; so, that when Punch came home as ordered, after dinner, he had lost all vivacity, all his jokes, thumps, and other more fun-dameut al witticisms, which had so charmed MY LORD, ignorant of who was behind she curtain ! ! !

EDITOR--I am happy to find, that another Nobleman—Noble Peer 1 would say—has been " insulted" by Alinisters ; men who never do Tight, and who were actually born after their fathers. By the way, it is a fortunate thing, that the sapient Gazette of the Party eau tell, who their fathers were. Had the research been made, e contra, it might have puzzled even 77► e Chronicle. Now Sir, I hope that liberal Paper will lengthen its list, and tell us when l►e became a Peer, how he became, and why he became so. It may be a check upon some Folk's tone ! Yours, in a hurry, 808 SHORT. P.S. Pray, Sir, can you tell me whether The Chronicle is /iodic/11 or Aristocrotic " Mr. CANNING i 9 the son of a tradesman"— and pray,, what is ?Ir. Alderman WAITIINIAN ? Paruos componere magnis—Oh ! be is the father of tradesmen—" Why Mr. LINGO," says some body in the farce, " Yon seem to be a Seholar."— LtNoo. " A Scholar ! Sir, 1 am the Master of Scholars ! !" Translated by Lingo for those whom it may concert)— " ll:tve ON few fools as APHORISMS. Wherever faction succeer:s to such a degree as to x‘eaken the Government and f,t-t loose popular fury, a worse than savage barbaiiiy of manners fullows, even in nations that before made a boast of their urbanity. The greatest blessing men can enjoy in society, anti the only effectual seenru y thty have against t lie evil of anarchy, is in the possession of a strong and vigorous Government, by which, though in dividaal passions are r.str,ined by the curb of the law, the geiieral tiarilitiility is thereby preserved. Rebellion is a (Jim:: peculiar to that being who has been favoured with a knowledge of his duty, but which he does not SC , to violate when ever he !tillers his passions to gain the ascendancy over him. (i)stinacy and heat of opinion are the most cer tain marks of folly. Is there any thing so im moveable, resolute, regardless, coiltemplative, Eel and grave, It% :ATI slss i Montague.

LETTER V. MR. EDITOR-It wilt be said, that the remarks in my last Letter bear chiefly against Opposi tions. It must be so, of necessity. The Outs being always the attacking party, have the con • duct of the fight. They make the assault ; the Ins have only to stand upon the defensive. But still the observat ions are impartial ; for it is unfor tunately tine, that whenever any Ministers have become, by removal, assailants, they have almost without exception, proceeded as other Opposi tions d id. Now what is the point at which these assailants aim ? It is to drive the Ministers from their posts, by the force of mere unpopularity. That the Sovereign has a right to appoint his own Ministers, is so unquestionably a part of tLe Constitution, that it cannot be disputed. But if the servants he has chosen can be made, by any means, so odious that they cannot with prudence be retained in their situations ; or if the clamour without doors can he raised so high, as to influ ence the majorities in Parliament, the grand pro blem is solved ; and the former assailants take their seats on the opposite side, to support, as well as they can, the blunt of similar attacks. And, for this political pugilism, the general wel fare is perpetually to be disregarded, and thrown into hazard. I thank your Correspondent Pcorosin (though quite'w;ktioAn to nit) for his commendations, 211(1 for some historical comments on my words. 1 make them general, to prevent their icing invi dious; but they will find abundant application, from the Revolution to the present hour. I will only mention now, as it is a case long gone by, the Ministry of Sir Rohewr IVALyoLe. His long continuance in Office drove the opposite party al most to desperation, and every kind of obloquy was heaped upon him. Yet it is now ascertained and known, that he was as able and as patriotic a Minister as ever filled that situation ; unless we except the second W. PITT, who, though assail ed with equal violence, was btroug enough to despise it. Suppose, Sir, a case when popular licentious ness, in various forms, should have arisen to such a height that, for the peace and safety of the Country, it bad become necessary to restrain it by law. Now, Sir, if we may judge from all we know of Oppositions hitherto, the btasiness of those who composed it at that time, would be to palliate or justify the excesses of the People, to blame the measures taken to restrain them, and to obstruct, to the utmost, every legislative mea sure for preventing the recurrence of such evils, under the pretence that it was an infringement of liberty, a step towards the destruction of the Constitution, and part of a regular design of Mi nisters to make themselves arbitrary ? But would not this, Sir, be most shameful and dishonest con duct, in the eyes of every impartial person through out the world ? Nobles and Gentry of Great Britain !—lf not for conscience sake, which I would primarily urge, at least for shame, desist at length from these disgraceful contests. They may pass as legiti mate maw:Furies among yourselves, but depend upon it they are seen by all the world besides as a deep stain of disgrace ; as a dishonour even to the Natio❑ where they are tolerated. The very lowest organs of de►nocracy have detected and justly stigmatized such measures ; and, therefore, hold out Whigs and Tories, Ins and Outs, to equal scorn and detestation. Suffer them not to be so far in the right ; but in future let the real merits of any public question be considered, and not its tendency to strengthen either one party or the other. Yon will in the cud lose nothing by it, and will gain an honest estimation. For it is th e b o dy the Nat:,-in that suffers in these con tests—" Delifant ages, plectunter achivi." HOOKER.

We received this morning the Paris Papers of Saturday last. The following are Extracts : " PARIS, Nov. 13.—The King yesterday trans acted business with the Maiquess Dessolles. " The announcement of the Duke de Richelieu being about to arrive immediately at Paris, was erroneous. His Excellency is not expected till about tiie latter end of this or the beginning of the next, month. " A great number of Deputies have already ar rived at Paris.

I.—Letters from Vienna state, that tame of the adepts belonging to that class of the members of great Societies who sub mit themselves to unconditional subjection, have been met with in a great city of Poland. They were equally distinguished by their black Teutonic dress, and by their long beards. As they had a suspicious appearance, they were arrested, and conveyed by the Cossacks beyond the frontiers. No injury was done to them, except compelling them to be shaved. " Beaux, Nov. 2.—lt is understood that Dr. Jahn will be tried before the Criminal Tribunal of Berlin, on a charge of fomenting disturbances, and exciting the youth against the Government. " It is said that some of the Detenus will be brought before the Tribunal at Mayence, not to be tried, but to be confronted with other indivi duals arrested in different States of Germany, with whom they are said to be connected. " VIENNA, OCT. 31.—it is still said, that all the Ministers of the different German Courts will be here before the 20th of next month, and that the first Conference will take place on that day." Philadelphia Papers to the 18th of October ar rived this morning. (Fro)µ The National Intel Usenet- of Oct. 15.) Congress is to meet at the constitutional period, the first Monday in December, and not the third Monday in November, as stared. The statement we copied front a New York Paper, that previous to the departure of Mr. FEN WICK, the Grand Council of Castile had assem bled, and decided not to ratify the Treaty with America, and a Courier was immediately i:ispatch ed to the Spanish Ambassador in London, is calculated, we understand, to produce an erro neous impression, though certainly not intended. The time for the ratification of the Treaty ex pired without its ratification. The Grand Council had assembled, not to deliberate probably on the subject of the Treaty, but On other matters. — Nothing has transpired respecting its resolves, except that a Courier was immediately dispatched to the Spanish Ambassador in London. The question about DON ONIS'tI disgrace, so long in snspence, is settled by the arrival of Mr. FaN• wick. M. ONIS was at Madrid, in high favour with the Government. Halifax Papers to the 30th have been received at Boston, wl,ich contain a Proclamation of the Liouteoant-Governor of Pr ince ',land, relating to the late Convention between Great Bri tain and America, in which he declared,--That if any vessels or subjects of the United States he found fishing, or preparing to fish, within three marine miles of any port of the coasts of the Island, or shall attempt to use any part of the coast of the, Colony, that the most prompt measures will be taken for enforciog a due ad herence on their part to the Stipulations contsin• ed in the said Convention. NEW TORg, OCT. 14. BOARD OF HEALTH. The Board have received no re ort of any new N e this day. 'Boa M° s e BALTIMORE, OCT. 12.—TheE Reeprr atr ti.o the last 24 hours exhibit only 3 deaths, and 6 by other diseases. A Paper states, there has hee l '. , , e , t very considerable changes in the temperature °f . the atmosphere, which has tended greatly to check the progress of the fever. New York Papers also arrived this morning t ° tLe 1704 October. The Board of Health had not received a report of any new cases of malignan t fever, though they mention sixty deaths at Mu' more on Tuesday the 12th, four of which by mss lignant fever. At Charlestown, for the wee" ending 6th ult, there were twenty-three deaths/ twelve of which by yellow fever. We understand that the following Officers arc to have the cenntuand of the Veteran Battalions , viz. Colonels CHRISTIE, LEITH, ELLIOTT, 71 KELSO, MACICENZIE, DOYLE, RAYMOND, INI I° GLAS, and NEEDHAM. The Battalions, we 'earl ), ate already more than complete. As we are not such servile tools of Ministers 'i° not to wish that there may always be an iioOe S. OPPOSITION in th:s Country, to watch over thei r proceedings, and preserve the rights of the People inviolate, we most desire also to se e that OPPOSITION supported by wise and hones Advocates. Such might he the case of 11° Morning Chronicle. Such it has been, but it ha s now degenerated into a mere Radical Journal, and is influenced by nothing but a determin ej hostility to Government. We yesterday CO'r mewed upon the commendations which it be‘ stowed on a worthless Getman Professor' who has been obliged to abandon Prussia, and who defended the Assassination of KoTzsoull. We also expressed our indignaion at the cool phi; losophic manner in which The Chronicle mention e the killing of KOTZEHUR, as if it were a rue ° every day incident. The Chronicle thinks necessary, this day, to vindicate itself fr °lll the charge of being favourable to assassinati on ' in a long tirade against The Courier, which is id deed every day loads its columns much to the gratification of its Readers ; but it fallaciou s)? affirms, that " the Ministerial Prints assert, as °I imputation on it, that no report should b e made of the state of affairs, or of opinions ` )11 the Continent, if they happen to differ front t he settled notions of policy, justice, and religion this Country."—We may venture to assert 1° ourselves, that we never brought against The CIO' nitre so silly an imputation, nor do we belie v that any other Paper in the interest of 6°' vcrnment could have acted so absurdlr° No, when The Chronicle transfers the pernici °Lis doctrines of Foreign Journals into its ° li columns, in order to circulate and defend su c doctrines, then it renders itself the base vehicle °i political poison, and deserves to be stig ma ; tized with universal contempt. This charge 0 0 The Chronicle is wholly unfounded, but it is a m et trick to escape from the obloquy which it medic e for having praised the Radical German , til , Rebel Professor GOERRES, who so coldly del ° ed the murder of KOTZEBUE, which The Chr allie delicately terms killing, as if it were the killi l4 c some edible animal. But what must be tlo ughr of The Chronicle, which this day says, " the upon NADIN, if true, is execrable." "If true was there ever a more audacious and revol l ' a doubt The attack has been particularly des cribed, rf and a Reward of 5001. offered for the disOceif of the assassin; and yet The Chronicle is 30 ti tter dead to shame, as to say in the face of this ° co rious fact, "if true." Words are too weak d ob / display the folly, as well as impudence, of a ° tije so directly opposite to a fact establishe d oli aG ib fullest evidence ; and therefore we dismiss Paper at present to the contempt of all Wise ti honest men.
