The Sun.

FOR THE SUN.

NrR. EntToa,—The rays of your SUN seem to
travel with all the rapidity assigned to natural
light, and appear to have already illumined the
mansion of—how shall I stile him ?—Citizen or
Count MacutoNE. Judging from his apparent
contempt of legitimacy, it should seem as if the
designation Of Citizen would most please him ;
vet considering his submissive reverence to HIS
Usurper who for a short period polluted the dig-
nity of thrones, lie may wish to Weal' a courtly
title. Bit for fear of offending his opinions, one
way or other,
I shall simply stile him by his stir-
name. It is very unkind, then, in this same MA.
CIRONE to require that I should read his Letter in
The Morning Chronicle a second time, an.l not limit
the perusal to the period when I am going to bed,
and mighr reasonabiy expect to derive from it the
blessing of sleep. lint as patience is a virtue pre-
scribed by religion, I will undertake the hard task.
This MAcTR:JNE calls my letter " a drunken rhap
sody." This is not very courtly language for an
attendant on a King, hut, however, it will do well
enough for such a King as MuRAT. But let we
tell you, Master MACIPONE, that abuse is not ar.
gument ; and if yoo do not condescend to throw
your intellectual pearls before such swine as my-
self, to borrow more of your courtly language, it
is because you probably have no such pearls in
possession. But to the point. You have riot
cleared yonrself from the accusation brought
against yon by The Quarterly Review, which has
done your too witch honour, in condescending to
notice von at all. You !lad a Passport from the
Allied Powers given to you for a special purpose.
You say you endeavoureeto accomplish that pur-.
pose, but could not succeed. What right then had
you to part with that passport, without being
fully assured that it would he employed for the
specific purpose for which it was given Granting
that it might have been thrown into the fire by
MuitAT, it was your bounden duty to see that it
was properly employed ; or finding that the spe-
cial object could not be effected, you should have
restored it to the authority whence it issued, and
not have left it to the direction of chance. The
Passport was to serve for seven persons, including
M,kcittoNE's late Master and favourite Monarch,

MURAT. Now suppose Mr. MunAT had given it
to six assassins,—he was well known as a great
dealer in bloom, butchery,—it might then have
been devoted to the very worst of purposes. Such
a gang might probably have been disposed towards
the most horrid curses, and have used that very
Passport as means for the perpetration of them.
At the best, the casual devotion of the aforesaid
Passport was in the highest degree disrespectful
to the Sovereigns who were so thoughtless as to
grant it. Master MAcittotia has the audacity to
NOY in a Note, that The Quarterly Reviewer '' iden-
tifies some three or four men in place with the
British Nation." By these three or four men
I presume he means the British Government,
and as the measures of that Government are
approved by the nation, the Reviewer had surely
a right to identify them with each other.,--
Pas,ing over the diplomatigue ceremony with
which lie approached JoAcutst in Corsica, and yet
became his own two penny postman, by which
conduct, however, he clearly demonstrates that he
is more iuciined to respect Usurpation than Legi-
timacy, it may be asked what right he had to ex.-
pect that the PRINCE REGENT IVOUM afford pro-
tection to a fellow who had usurped the Throne
of an old Ally of this Country, am! whose Throne
it was evident that the Usurper wanted to regain ?
The audacity of the expectation is sufficiently ex-
traordinary and ridicolons, and yet he pretends
to feel disappointed And here we see the su-
perior wisdom of the British Cabinet, compared
with that of Austria. There was more danger to
the Austrian Goverument in harbouring such a
fellow as MuttAT, as, being on the Continent, he
could have carried on treacherous intrigues with
more facility. Hilt the British Government had
too notch sagacity, and too strong a sense
of national dignity, to admit the Usurping
Miscreant. With his characteristic elegance,
or folly, he says I have run " Ox-like and
blind-fob!, and have marred and beaten my
poor head violently against "—what—his flimsy
letter !—When this mao pretends to be an Eng-
lishman, be should at least get somebody ac-
quainted with the English language to write for
him. Anti now, Sir, let him explain his preten-
sions to the character of an Englishman.—lf he
is so," indeed, it is to be lamented that the
Alien 'Pt 'Could not he extended to those who are
Alienslti' heart as well as in nativity.
