THE DUKE OF WELLINGTON.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

SlR,—Although your strictures on the Duke of 'Wel-
lington, for his late treatment of Mr. Huskiosou, are
just and well-merited, yet I think you have mistaken his
object in wishing to rid the Ministry of that valuable servant
of the public.
The Duke of Wellington is reported to be open, manly,
and altogether devoid of cunning. So he is as long as
straight-forward force (the most ostensible feature in his
character) will do his business ; but where art is required
to effect his purposes, no one is deeper. I have served
under him from the beginning of 116 career as a General in
India, almost to its conclusion in Europe, and I know
him well.

The Duke has penetration enough to .es that public opinion
points towards liberal measures, and sense to know that he
cannot rule without having publiC opinion on his side.
Therefore I have no doubt that he intends' to pursue 'a
liberal system, and that he purposes even to carry the Ca-
tholic Bill; but then he will allow no one to shaie the
glory—it must be all his own.
This is the key to his late conduct in getting- rid of the
Canningites,• who, had they remained in the Ministry,
would doubtless hare gained all the credit of the measures
which he has in contemplation, and by which he will take
in those Ultras who are now rubbing their-hands and chuck-
ling at his successful Generalship in ousting the liberal
party.
Hail it been his object to rule as an Ultra Tory he
would have recruited his Ministry entirely from that party,
instead of filling up the vacancies from his own follower•,
whom no one will suspect of having an opinion of their
own iu the Cabinet, more than they had in the field.
I am, Sir, your obedient servant,
Iymington, June 6. AN OLD SOLDIER.

Cedunt arma togw."
Come take off your hats to Scots and to
The Shamrock and Thistle hare sway ;
The Camp is the School to learn how to rule,
And also to learn to obey.
What's incapacity, if you have but audacity
To rule both your country and master;
The latter will serve to gift folly with nerve,
The former is cured with Court plaioter.
Of croakings so loud ye Ultras be proud,
And boast of your own handy work ;
You prayed in the bog, against a Kieg Log.
And now you have got a King Stork
Ah ! poor Canningites, who stuck up fur righvs,
Our councils you thought to take part in
But the For loopuli" is, all in my eye,
Good Mrs. Elizabeth Martin!
The Lords paramount, their beads may now count,
And Commons may whistle their ditties;
There's one at the helm of our valorous realm

N% ill rule without any Committees.
Ye Knights of the Shires so proud of your sires,
Ye Burghers of towns great and email,
To your homes get you gone, at length we've got one
Who is King, Lords, and Commons, and all.
CeaF.e men of the Robe, so eager to probe
Our timbers to find the clry-rot,
We've a cure for all ills, without your State pills,
And a sword for the Gordian knot
