rOR THE SUN:

MR. Enti.ot —lt were too lOtig a story to
trouble you witb—how the accompanying Manu-
script Kat into my hands. You OM oblige me by
publishing it, and thereby depriving King HARRY
the NINTH of its originality at the great Water-
drinking Dinner, which is shortly to take place at
the Crown and Anchor. I hope, Sir, you will
bear me harmless in this offence against his Ma-
jesty's White Hat and Dignity.

four's;

PUNT.

HEY, RADICALIBUS.
bear ttadical ponkies, I bade you remember
No'assembly to 'hold on the First of November;
F.•r I swore that. my tail should not take up the Chair
That day in the Nlarhet near Finsbury-square.
Ning, hey Itadiealibus,
Dirty Rasealibus,
Foodledum, Noodledum, Doodledurn Duo !
The profit for me, and the danger for you.

There were some busy-bodies-about you, I said,
Whet: WArso!,: with 'filtsmtwoon joher'd his head;
And I should not be mit of the war, d—n my eyes,
If I called them a pair of Infonners and Spies.
Sing, hey Radicalibus)
Dirty Rascalibus, &t.

So the Gin-shops I beg you will soberly pass ;
For SIDMOUTH has planted a spy in each glass :
And llctitul and Rcfortlicrs will all go to ruin,
If by peeps through such spy-glass at what we are doing.
Sing, hey Radicalihos,
Dirty liascalibus, &c.

I am credibly told, too, his Lordship has gst
A cunning informer perdue in each pot;
Where all of our treasons he'll manage to learn,
And Porter, alas! to Re-porter will turn.
Sing, hey Radicalibus,
Dirty Rascalibus, &c.

Take heed, then, my DOnkies; beware of the tap;
The sigh is the bait, and the alehouse the trap;
Where, if the Police should get news of the plot,
By touchig.g a pint we may all go to pot.
Sing, hey Radicalibus,
Dirty Rascalibus, &c.

What Re-publican would a poor Publican choose,
For Liberiy's sake Lis own Licence to lose ?
And I'm morally sure, that no honest or wise man
Would tipple the malt to support the Exciseman.
Sing, hey Radicalibus,
Dirty Rascalibus,ltc.

I have done with all drinking: I breakfast and dine,
Without coffee or conga, or sugar, or wine:
And nu spirit is needed to trash down my lunch ;
For you knoWI myself an; great Orator PUNCH.
Sing, hey RadicalibuS,
Dirty Rascalibus, &c.

The spirit of prudence talies care of my necli;
Though,l always am glad of ;receiving a check:
So without any draught I henceforward will go,
But the draught of CnAnts Paso on Ww.rAms&Co.
Sing, hey Radicaiihus,
Dirty itascalibus, Sec.

Tlinse terrible Yeomen I'd Ghost—i: t dotst—
Bo their galls may go off—so let rue zo off first
Which means, that before they can pntdOwn the plot,
Brave Citizen HUNT Will be off in a shot.
Sing, hey Iltdic:alibus,
Dirty Rascalibus,&c.

To your Meetings I will, not go strrped, for this reason—
The Law might iii-ilßtoredly call it High Treason :
But that were a blunder ; for Treason, you know,
When it comes down to we, must be damuab,ly low.
Sing, hey Radicalibus,
Dirty Rascalibus, &c.

Besides, one of tinumnuTn's informers or spies
With some awkward impertinent quesiio❑ might rise,
About the four pounds, fourt ten shillings, and six-
-Pence, which un me their vile malice would fix.
Sint, hey Radicalibus,
Dirty lluscalibus, &c.

Call me to account! that's a comical job
:
I'll fob off the charge, with the cash in my fob;
While the difference cleverly thus I arrange—
Give them the REFORM. and myself keep the change.
Sing, hey Radicalihus,
Dirty Rascalibus,
Voodledam, Noodledum, Doodledum, Don!
The profit for me, and the payment for you.

LACON Ictsm.—Every body remembers the dis-
patch of the ,British Admiral ‘VALTox, in the
reign of Queen ANNE, who seems tolikive made as
much dispai. h with his Leiter as tvi:h the French
Stopoiron off Sicily—

" n—l have taken and destroyed the slips as per margin."
Thus shortly disposing of fi sail of the tine, besides
frigates, &c ,---Rut we have, in modern times, a dis-
patch equally laconic, from Citizen 14uoNAPARTR,
in 1796, in Italy, to the Citizens Directors in
Paris, ou the capture of a small town in the Mi-
lanese—

" CI rizENs DinFcToßs—l have taken the town of
and hanged the Murdeipalitri.—Yotirq,
•• Health and Fiaternity!

—This extraordinary epistle is repeated tri..,o ine-
niory ; but the ori4inal n►ay he found i the Jour-
nals of that (14y : nor need we iloul►': it, when ,vtt
recollect hi• threat that, if a French pri7
honer had been olissiog whet) Pavia was taken by
his army, " fiance ages would stay, Here once
stood Pavia !"

CONVIVTA't; 'MISTAKR.—His present Majesty
once said Sir .1. IRWIN,- a famoui Goy-vicant,
"'!'hey tell me, Sir John, you love a glass of
wine."--" Those, Sire, who have so reported me
to your Majesty," answered • be, hewing, pro-
foundly, " do me great •ivjunice; they should
