HUNT CHRONICLED; OR, THE CHRONICIAI

t!VNfisU.

Mr. EDlTOR—Though I have long obserVeti With'
pleasure the apparent propriety of your anima&
verSions upon the. very extraordinary conductoL
The Morning Chronicle in regard to IluitnETT,
HUNT, the Radicals, &c. &c. I am happy to say
that lam now enlightened with a new light upon
that subject, and that you have been all along in
the clink. Nothing is left for you, therefore, but
to follow the example of the Party Gazette, to
say all that you have said, without deigning to
offer a reason for it, and to be prepared to
change sides again, as soon as' it answers your
purpose.

Only try the experiment, Sir ! 'Tis the easiest
rl thing in the world—nothing more than a new ar-
rangement of the types—with the omission or
admiasion of the three small letters--n--o—t—at
proper times and seaso'.is.—Bnt to the point
Sir, I have been fully convinced by an Old
• Whig, that The Morning Chronicle now labours
hard to put down HUNT and the whole gang; only
the public are not sufficiently enlightened to under-
stand it. Thus did he give his reasons—
" Between the sublime and the ridiculous there is
but one step ! We. have had the sublime NAPO..
LEON"—we have him now, interrupted and
now we have the ridiculous flusT ; and, as The
Morning Chronicle has destroyed the Empire of
the one, so will it demolish the paltry popularity
of the other." I stared, as you may well ima-
gine ; but he repeated—" Sir, The Morning
Chronicle destroyed NAPOLEON—that is, with the
assistance of the Opposition. Who, pray, Sir,
persuaded that Great Man, when at Peace with
all the wothl but Britain, and the patriotic in-
surgents of the Peninsula—(l must call client pa-
triotic now, because there are some other insur-
gents there at present)—who persuaded him not
to send an overwhelming fivrce over the Pyren-
nets to drive the English into the sea ? Who but
The Morning Chronicle and the Opposition ?
Who persuaded him that the readiest mode of
conquering Britons was to nurse the war in the
Peninsula ? Who persuaded him that the war in
Spain was a war of Finance, which must ruin
Britain, and turn out the Ministry ? Who as-
sured hint that Sir ARTHUR WaLutsuty was no
soldier ? Who thus led him on, day by day; un-
til the resistance in Spain, and the British victo-
ries, gave fresh courage to the Nations of Europe,
so that a visit to Russia appeared necessary to his
Imperial eye ? Who persuaded him that England
and Spain were to be conquered at Moscow ?
Who thus led him on to Leipsic, to Chatillon, to
Elba, to Waterloos to St. Helena ? Who ! why,
Sir, The Morning Chronicle, the Opposition, Two
Aldermen, and a few of the COIIHHOH -Council !
Who then can doubt that The Chronicle, and
the Haberdashery Aldermen are now playing the
same game with Emperor—Tush—l meats Orator
Hunt ? Do they not revile him one day, and
praise him the next, just as it snits theirpurposes ?
Do they not persuade him that he is the idol of
the people, and that he and Parson HARRISON may
do just as they please, thus leadingthem on from
folly to Treason ? Did they not almost persuade
the Divine and the Orator, that they might safely
take their trials at the present crisis, certain
.of
triumphant acquittal, until the presentments of
Grand, and the verdicts of Petty Juries, chewed
that the spirit of loyalty and of common sense in
Lancashire was superior to that of Reform, Riot,
and Revolution ? Has not The Chronicle again
taken By RDEITT by the hand, forgetting. all the
Whiggery of the Westminster Election, support-
ing him in his well managed Meeting, in Palace-
yard, where he damned. with faint praise, and
attempted to bolster np.ltis own popularity, which
has been so much eclipsed rin Tothill-fields, St.
Giles's, Field•lane, Muttnn:.bill, the Clink, &c.
&c."

TO this, Sir, what could I answer ? Facts speak
for themselves, and we must leave The Morning
Chronicle, with the two Cnimnittees of the crown
and Anchor, and of the White Lion, to settle it as
they can. Yours,

iGNOTUS.

Mr. HUNT,—Yesterday evening, about six
o'clock, Mr. 1-IuNT, of Minchever notoriety,
was recognized in a gig in Drury-lane by a nutn-
ber of persons, who immediately began cheering
the Orator. A rabble followed him, shouting,
" HUNT and Reform for ever !"—" No Man-
chester Murderers !" &c. When he ap-
proached St. Giles's, the Radicals of that neigh-
bourhood gave him three hearty cheers, which
the Champion, of Reform returned by as many
bows, and then drove off so fast thin he soon got
rid of his retinue.

On Friday morning last, about three o'clock,
sonic malicious persons broke several windows in
the dwelling-house of Nir. George Whitehead,
deputy constable of Huddersfield. We are glad
to say the offenders are likely to be brought to
justice.—(Leeds Intelligencer)
