FOR TUE SUN.

Mr. _any mote decent circle than
the conspiracies of an ale-house, a vulgar Refor-
ther's principles are—as unimportant as his lan-
guage. Yet, as low things have weight with low
people, itiney be worth while to ascertain the
sincerity of Mr. APoTHcCAR's' WATeoN ; who will
not, perhaps, be allowed even the honour of a
contest with Mr. HUNT, when his patriotism
shall be found to be more •endible than his

potions.
Shortly after his escape in Westminster-Hall,
Mr. WATsoti did me—for the first and last time-
the favour of a ; in acknowledgment of some
very trivial kindnesses which I had shewn hint
during his imprisonment, and which, as he can-
didly avowed, the negle,t of his own party had
left him free to accept elsewhere. In the first
instance, Sir, I checked the DoctOr's disposition
to enter on political subjects, by announcing the
anti-radicalism of my own opinions, and caution-
ing him that I would nut hold 'concealed any part
of his conversation which mi,ght appear to me fit
to be disclosed. .

After this initiatory warning, Mr. WATSOt4 de-
clared to me--and eviden,ly,.in the calculation of
my communicating his wishes--that,' if the Go-
rernment would gire him us much ,-money ns Wright
enable him either to go abroad with his family, or to
keep his shop at home, lie would thenceforth abstain
from politic 3 altogether.
Little as I could blame this speculatiOn of the
unfortunate Ultra, who, by now, was ready to
exclaim with his meagre prototypc—" toy poverty,
but not my will, consents"--I did not exactly
clime to be the bearer of his proposition. The
memory of the Invalid rose before me ; who, after
buying off one barrel-organist, bad his ears next
day stunned by the whole gang of strect-brawlers,
iu hope of the same ex-emption.

The Whigs, of course, have !lever descended to
such fellowship : Sir FRANCIS BURDRTT would
shrink from it and the fashionable sensitivene's
has spread downward to Mr. HUNT. Nobody de..
sires a. lower fall or a dirtier soil than he can pos-
sibly the aristocratical demagogues, and
those who affect to he aristocratical, will catch at
any excuse for cutting the low associates, who—.
as THISTLBWOOD said to HUNT—" raised their
fame :7'—and Doctor WATSON will now, perhaps
find as Lenten entertainment among the flag•
bearers and window smashers, who will judge hove
'safe is their cause with a champion so ready to
be bought.
I hope, Sir, that this exposition of the disin-
terested Doctor will not 'prevent any movements
Which would embarrass the necks of the Radi-
cals as Mr. WATSON may not find the re-.
collection perfectly convenient, you will oblige me
by giving my name to any person who puts the
question at your Office. And you will do tne an
added favour, by telling any enquiring Gentleman—
that what I.state as a fact, I expect to be believed.
I remain, Sir,
Your very faithful servant,

FOR 11-IE, SUN.

REDRESS OF GRIEVANCES.

Mr. EDsTOft•—When I was at like head of the
Commonwealth of England, to which 1 arrivee
by knocking the head or one hypocrite against
another, I was so teazel with their petitions
to relieve their fantastical grievances, that I
checked their increase by saying to some of
theta ;--" Go home my friends, and !earn to
spill, you talk of Magna Chart a, but pronounce
the Gist two syllables of the last word wrong."
"fo others 1 said, " Go haute good people and
mind your shops ; I will take care of you and
your country as your hoiectnr for according
to my motto, I was horn to govern."

Now, Sir. beating in the shades that folly ansi
some thing worse still reign in London, and that
an evil spirit has gone forth to inflame the igno-
rant and wicked, even as it prevailed with my
godly subjects, were I on the Sovereign Thine of
British power, and addressed as the Corporation
of the Metropolis has done the .Prince Regent
ou the Mau chestrr bosiness, I would stv to one
or two worthy Menthers,—" Go home Sir, and
wind your yard, delight less in hearing your own
speeches, and be wite in speaking little." To
another, 1 would say, " Go and mind your drugs
as a htewurs chemiat, and be judiciously con-
sistent." Then to the majority, who outvoted
tie admired Lord Mayor, I would say, " Go ye
would bes', correct your rashness ;—Go, go,
1 do not sentence and execute any one before trial
and conviction ; let justice suspend her scales, as
she ever does, with art even hand ; do not fore-
stall her dispensations, and condemn the inno.
cent Unheard, which all are till the contrary ap-
pear." But Sir, his Royal Highness has said
euoogh, 1 could hare said no more. The sting
of his answer to the London Cits, while it glad-
tic'w the hearts of the loyal, must wrzolde in the
reflections ')t the rash, even to shame, remorse,
and abhorrence.

Thos sic, I rise from the regions below, like
Hamlet, and say to the thonghiless citizens of
N linen-draper and a chemist, as he did
to his mother, I
speak d.tggers, hnt use none.
