He Paid he haii..forma quenions to put to Lord Coch rane. He would now afk the N •Nle Lord whether it was not true, as he had been confide: , ,ly itiforrred, that a near and stainable relation of the Noble LL:: d, I whole declining years he was bound, by every tie of natural and focial duty to protect and fuppott, was hot (offered to remain in indigence and obtcurity, in li mean lodging in the vicinity of the Strand, defer t. ed and dnaisied by the Noble Lnrd ?—drbether it would not be much more honourable to devote fame part of iBo,crool. prize money he had gained in the service of the navy, which be had afperfed and vili fied, to aid that venerable perfon, than to fquander it by thoufands in contefled elections ? Mr. SAPRIDAN (who had been greeted with a lout of applaufe on his firft appearance on the huf bags) then came forward. If ;:is advice, he obferved, bad been followed, or hisezample, this eleelion would lave proceeded with the fame good humour among de Candidates that it had begun with. He did not deny that they had a right to put quellions to the Candidates, and in a blunt and thou way, becanfe there was not much time there for etiquette andcom. plaifance—[Laughter and Applaufe]. He again expreffed his fatisfaaion at the !late of the pull, and was happy that he had been again intlrumental in fixing the board to the poll, becaufe he law them fo well fatisfied; for he should belie his fentiments and principles if be did not admit that the man ought to be chofen, who, in oppofition to corrupt influence, Yu the object of the free choice of the people.... [Loud applaufe]. He expreffed his with that he had 1 fete his friend Mr. Ber: idge, and be thou) J have been glad again to fee his honest broad face, becanfe he was fure that i t wou ld h ave b een a d orne d with the 1 (mile of approbation towards hop, instead of the: marks of holly which it formerly bore—Daughter lad applaufe]. But he was happy to inform them that he had a mirage 11 urn Mr. Bert idge, that he was now his (ince; e friend—[a man before the lathings had laid that he had been deputed by Mr. Berridge, to tell him; that he was his fincere friend]. He had been told that Mr. Berridge was at home repAriog his hoof e , b ut i t would have been better if he had been there at the hotlines to aria in repairing the Houle of Commons—[Loud laughter.] This put him in mind of the repairs that were making on the (nitride of the Houle e.f Common,. That was to re case the old venerable and Gothic appearance which it hi.d borne in the days of King Allred. Bit the furniture within, he apprehended, would be al mo dern—[a roar of laughter and applatife]. He was mid that etiquette, about which he did not under- Rand much, required him to addres them firft, and therefore he had no opportunity of noticing chferva rims made by the other Candidates till the following diy, though he trolled he did not want readinefs to notice them immediately. He wifhtd there had been a Committee of Arbitration to fettle eleflion difputes in a good humoured way—diipures, however, which he never canied beyond there huhings. He had :teard that there had been much dilcuffion about who were, and who were not fit perfons to be chofen to repre• I fent th em . B ut here he could not help flying, that it did the Eletlors of Weaminfter immortal honour that every effort to )wife the cry of " Nn Popery" among them had failed—[Applaufe.] They knew who they were who had attempted to fet up this cry, they had before let up Ur: cry art plots and cooler . . racies, which was followed by arbitrary irnprifon: ments and othet, Unconaituitional ads. This folk and ridiculous cry of 4' No Popery," too, they knew was let op in order to tnafk real dangerous defigne again( the Conllittition and the liberties of the pea- Ple—pg All true," from the crowd.] With regard to the interference of the Court in favour of the no ble Lord, when the Noble Lord afferted that he had not asked that interference, he was bound to believe that what he laid was true. But, giving him credit lot not foliciting that fupport, and alfo for not wirlingly 1 accepting it, he alfo required credit Fur his affertion,, when he fulernnly affured the Noble Lord that he had that Support. With regard to his Worthy Friend, Mr. Elliot he reqnefied them to hear him ; for it was natural to prefume that a candidate for their favour mutt bile famething to fay worth hearing [A laugh). —He had under flood him to fay, that the age of chi valry was rot pat} with him; but he would releafe his voters front their promifes, provided they would vote for him (Mr. Sheridan). If he chofe to retract this, he had no oblation ; but he defied him to turn over to him the varies promifed him by the influence of the Treafury—[Applaufej ; though, by the chivalry of his Worthy Friend, he might gain over thofe friends of his who had, from motives of regard for his private virtues, been a&ively Supporting, and alfo many of thofe ptiblicans whom he kept to fell his beer ' ' —[Laughter]. Mr. Sheridan then adverted no the propofed extenfion of the Excife Laws. He was among the fiat who oppofed that obnoxious tax— [Applaufe], and that oppofition, he had rearm to think, had contributed to make Lord H. Petty abaft don it. This tax would not have been ferioufly felt in Weftminfter ; but in Stafford, which he then re , prefented, and where the regard for him was not di mit.ifhed, though his fun had loft the reprefentation, through the fraud and folly of others—there it would have been ferioufly felt, becaufe every man had his own tap. His conflituents there were molt of them 1 journeymen fh remakers, and therefore he had beeh furprifed that any journeyman Shoemaker, or indeed any journeyman, thculd have oppofed him at the late el:dion. His conitituents there were accußomed, inflead of (pending their evenings at the alehotife. to go home and enjoy a cup of ale at their own fire fides, and their wives and children partook of it—[Load applaufe]. This plan, it deliroyed or injured, would fend him to the alehnufe, and to diffipation, and leave his family to neglea and cold water—[Applaufe]. He was happy at the fymptums of encreafing popu larity with which he had been honoured ; and Paid that they ought to exert every nerve to refill any Can didate who might be impofcd upon them by Miniliers —[Loud applaufe]. Lord COCHRAN k next offered hirnfelf to the notice of the multitude, amid( atoms of applaufe and dif approbation, He grounded his right of being im partially heard, upon the true principles of indepen• dame. Tht; caufe which was hood' could bear inquiry —the caul.: which was wrong, might and would leek the fut..erfuge of proteaion, but he was not afraid of Idle and unmerited hiffes. For his part, be was deter mined to nand alone, becaufe he conceived it effential t. the put ity of a popular eleaion, that every Candi date (Louid rest upon his own p etenfions. In fad, it was in his opinion indifpenfably requitite for the pub• lic good, that every Candidate Should continue aftive upon !'is own intcreft, and totally free from all coa. !J.,' exertions. The effeas of coalition in the laft eledtion for Weflminfler, were, to charge the public purl:: with an expenfe of 80001. lie had that fat stow authority, and his opinion was decided, that if any of the Candidates, on the prefent occasion, made an unnatural and unjustifiable coalition, they ought to be rejcrled. There were many queltions put to him, which he would anfwer, fo far as he thought that anfwer tended to pleafe and convince the people 1 who heard him. At the fame time, he was deter mined not to enter into replies, when called upon by every perfon who was pleated to interrogate him.— With refpea to his vifit to the Duke of Portland, it was (solely to afcertain the views of Government as to Sir Samuel Hood; he was ever hoflile to the influence of Government in popular eleaions, and he then al lured the eleaors, upon his honour, that at his vifit at Burlington lionfe, he completely deprecated and refuted Minifierial fupport. He had been charged with having laid things that would excite diffati*fac tion in the Navy. But he defied any one to prove, that during the is years he had been in the navy, he had ever been a tyrant or done any thing to excite dillatisfaition. He had next to advert to a fubjed the moil painful to his feelings. His father had cer tainly (pent his patrimonial ellate in advancing thole plans which he fondly hoped would have improved, as they did improve, the manufaftures and commercial interests of his country. He was, at this period, living with him in Harley.llreet ; and in anfwer to thofe queftions, which could only proceed from the mouth i of an affaffin and a villain, he could affute the people who heard him, that, dependent on his own exertions for his advancement in life, he never, from the mo ment it was in his power, hefitated to fupport that parent, againll whom uo charge of living upon the indultry of the people, either by the enjoyment of penfion i place, ur finecure, could ever be made.-- [ei loud and general cry of—Turn Gibbons out! turn Gibbons out!—and other marks of point/fir indignation.]—He trult. 1 ed, that he inherited the lame Spirit of honell lode- 1 pendencP, and affured them that he would not cringe to any Adminifitation—[applaufes] —He had Rood forward as an independent man, and had declared to the Minifters, that any interference on their part . would be unconflitutional. He again laid, that no preilions 'horrid be brought forward, or put to Can didates, without tome proof. He affured the Elec tors, that no turn or Sums of public Money Should j ever be employed in his Elation. He hoped the 1 Eleaors would not impute the' warmth of any ex raediri°ns proceeded that emotion improper which ii m o tives. ad be e l l ' ) h e e z y . i cited by the quellions forced upon him, and which I no honed man could controul.—[l be 10110 applaufe, : v.:l2ich were rendered Hill more intrfffive and strafing, by' I Vie (victim fympathy of the auditors.] —The Noble Lord was to atieeted, in this part of his fpeech, and was t i if . ovcrpoweied by his feelings, that he aaually Shed tears, and begged leave to retire, which he did, amidft loud thouts of approbation ; tr oiling, that the Elec• Itars would n.,t bdieve what the man had afferted.-- ( - (.r in loud and reiterated, .. Ao, we dos't," Llc.) Mr. JENNINGS trolled there was Ic rfely a man who had witneffed what had jut* paffed, that dad not sympathize with the Noble and gallant Officer-- They were well enough aquainted with Sir Francis ELI.IOT • , BUidetf; to £ h.;, thit (if tii.had been preterit) hi would not have lent himself as the organ to circulate rtach reports.. . His great and noble mind would have Iltrunic from liftening to any thing derogatort to any individual—[Bravo 1 Bravo !]—With refpea to the Noble Lord and Mr. Elliot, though he was not pre. pared to film that they bad coalefced, yet at lead it was appitient that they have the fupport of the Go vernment. . It, therefore, became the duty of the Eleaots to keep a Itria watch, and not to fleep on their pons, in order that the enemy might not gain the advantage—[Applaufes.] —He was happy they had liftened to Mr. Elliot on the preceding day, becaufe out of his own mouth he had con. vied himfelf. To the firlt part of his fpeech he ihould not fay much, becaufe he was not in the habit of drinking porter, but the latter part he could not pars over. They had heard him declare, that Minifters (hould always have his fupport ; and why ? becaufe they had the fupport of the King, the Houk of Peers, and Commons ! [Bravo ! bravo !]—Such a declaration was converting the Houfe of Commons, which ought to he the Guardian of the Rights of the People, into a mere Member of the Coml.—[r-nod apptssuks.)—The great National Council, inftead of being the controul of Miniflers, was to be, according to Me Elliot, the auxiliaries and creatures of the leinifters. It was as much as to fay, that if Mini tiers (hould attempt any thing againft the Conflict]. lion and the Liberties of the People, he would give them his fupport.—[Bravo ! bravo I and fhnuts of applaufe.]—He trolled, however, they would be vi gilant, and prevent fuch an infringement of their Rights._ _ _ _ Mr. ELLIOT defended his principles. What he had faid . was, that when a Miniary had the confidence of the King, and of the Majority in Parliament, a private individual like bimfelf had no isufinefs to np pole them. He repeated that fentiment—thiffes.) He affert.d, that he was completely independent, and fuhjed to no improper influence. Mr. Fowla then addreifed the people, and in the courfe of an able fpeech affirmed, that the influence of the Board of Works was eterted in favour of Lord Cochrane and Mr. Elliot. He mentioned an intlance where General Winyard commanded a man of the name of Price, who intended to vote for Sir Francis Burdett and Mr. Paull, to vote for Lord Cochrane and Mr. Elliott, otherwife be would be turned out of his fituation. He alto again adverted to the attacks on Lord St. Vincent, which he thought very impro- per in that place. This fpeech was received with great applaufe. NINTH DAY, FRIDAY, MAY VS.—State of the poll at I o'clock this day— BORDIET7/ COCIIKANZ 78 SHERIDAN - 86 PAULL 21 1 The following is the Speech of Mr. jawritxos at the clofe of the Weitminfter Poll on Wedoefday lail, omitted In our Report of Thurfday : Mr. jfiNNINGS came fotward amid a tumult of applaufe, which fatted feveral minutes, and when the acclamations of the populace had fuhfided, he addreffed them as follows :—" Gentlemen—On the part of Sir Francis Burdett, I difelaint allintarferenoe in any difpnres of a nerfonal nature, which may exit between any of the other Candidates. Gentlemen, I fhall not detain you long ; the pleating talk once more devolves upon me to bid you ' look at the Poll ! ! !' [Bravo ! huzza! Burdett for ever !] Gentlemen, I congratulate you on the triumphant viaory wh ch we have this day gained, and for which we are in debted to your integrity, perfeverance, and courage. Sir Francis Burdett has often expreffed his opinion, that in the Rate of abominable corruption into which the Adminißration of the Country has of late fallen, an honett man can do little good for his unfortunate country; but the triumphant Rate of this day's poll is a proof that corruption itfelf has exhaußed the means of corruption in Weßminfter ; and yet although the Worthy Baronet, who is fo de fervedly the objea of your choice and your affeaions [Loud applaules]—is now at the head of the pf , ll, he is not yet out of danger. Be not lulled into fecurity by your prefent triumph. Your enemies, and the enemies of their country, are powerful and aaive.— The myrmidons of the Treafury are let loole, and if the free and independent Eleaors of Weßminfter fleep in fecurity, there enemies to liberty will prevail! Notwithßanding all the ex,rtions of Placement and Penfioners, Lords of the Bedchamber, and Grooms of the Stables, I have the proud fatisfaaion to inform you, that the promifes made in favour of the Worthy Baronet for to.mirrow's poll are fo numerous, that unlefs there free and virtuous Eleaors come very early to the Hußings, it will be impoffible to receive all their votes in one day." Mr. Jennings then retired amid loud acclamations of " Burdett for ever !" • Captain Enczcostaa is promoted to the rank of Poll Captain, and to the command of the BLANCHI, a new frigate, in the Eati Indies. The Juno has brought home Tome officers of Lord Cotcetrowooo, who have obtained leave of abfence, on account of their health. The Combined Fleet in Cadiz confills of 13 fail of the line, of which five are French, and eight are Spanilla. There are, more over, three or f our - (hips of the line in ordinary, two upon the flocks, and feveral (loops and frigates are tefitting. In Carthagena, there are three fail of the line, three frigates, and two (loops, all ready for fea. Betides the above fquadrons in Cadiz and Cartha. Rena, there are three two deckers, two frigates, and three fail cf the line, in the harbour of Toulon—and three frigates, two Coops, and many gun boats, in that of Venice. At Naples, 'hire are two Coops and a frigate. The velfels in the Italian ports are but bully manned, but the French endeavour to remedy I this defetl, by preffing the crews of every veffel which they chance to meet.

" Your Imperial and Royal Majefty has been pleafed to call to tic command of the& Legions, the Members of the Senate who had diftinguilhed theinfelves in the career of glory before they took their feats among us. In the midlt, Sire, of camps and citadels, the fame as within the walls of Paris, France will behold Other Senators giving the fame examples of abfolute devotion to their Country and to your Majefty. Our Colleagues will watch over the conduct of thole young men whom your Majeßy will •uruf to them, as fathers attentive to their children, worthy of fo lively an 'wenn- They will have no °cation to teach them to love glory, their Country, and your , Majetty ; but they will con. vince them that good difcipline will increafe their ftrength againft the enemy ; and that, by the habit of military exercifes, they will overcome the difficulties of dieance, climates, and feafons, with out danger. They will acquaint them with the rapid advances with which they may become habituated. They will hold out Its them the moment when, rettored b.?.:k to all that is dear to them, they will receive the elteem of their fellow citizens as a new re- ward of their courage. They will convince them that public gra. titude is not nial.ifefted in any country equal to France, towards thole warrior., whore wounds and honourable Infirmities compel tbem to quit the Randards under whisk they have fought t...and they will point out to them that dillindlion, not lefs brilliant than glorious, with which your Makity rewards the fplendid aalons of the Soldier, equally with thof of the General. " Your Majefty has laid, that your confidence in the Senate is unlimited. Sire, the Senate and the whole nation are penetrated with the moft lively, perfcet. and repeal:4l Confidence in your Majcity's genius, in your wifilom, in your virtues, and your love of the French People. " In a few words, Sire, the Grand Army, commanded by the greateft of warriors, has patted the Elbe, upon the borders of which Charlemagne was compelled to put a period to his con quefts ; and the Oder, aftonilbed at teeing the French enfigns flit tering upon its banks; the Viania, and fo many moraffes.

Winter, the only ally of the Ruffians, will Coon mare to defend the Mukovfte few:mien by its fink its fnow, and Its inundations, and thofe waters that magnate in its immenfe defarth nitrate, every day, fpreads its ravages among your enemies. " However, Sire, greater precautions have never been concert ed. From the Pyrenees to the Preget, front Holland to Cabs bria, from Finifterre to the borders of the Cattaro, every thing is conneCted by an immenfe fyftem of defence, as well as of at tack. The union of thofe calculations of a prudence which ea* fore(sc and prevent every kind of reverie; and thole fublime conceptions of genius which appreciates and Inures the melt aftonithing fuccefs, have always preceded the great events that have marked the principal epochs of the career of your Mi jetty's glory, which has always been coone&ed with thole plans, the es minion of which has decided the fate of enipkes.

Your Majetty will ooly dirftate that of peace, neceffary to 4urope, and that peace which you have never ceated to offer. " With what aftonifhinent, Sire, will pofterity learn, that in fpite of fo many prodigies, which it will fcarcely credit, and is spite of the profperous fnuation of the finances of that Rate to which your Malefic: has no need to have recourfe for a new co 1- tribution, nothing has been able to fliminith your Majefty's mode ration ?

Sire, you fay in the nu-trage you have addrclTcd to us, • If at this time we alt our people for new facrifices, and to ir,veft us with new means of power, we do not heinate to declare, that It is not to Mule theist in prolonging the war. Our politics are fixed. We offered peace to England before the brought forward the fourth Coalition i this peace we offer her hill. The principal Minifter whom the' em- ' ployed in the Negotiation, has pofitively &dared, in the public affrmblies, that this peace would have bean honourable and ad vantagr.nus to England. He has thus gi..en evidence to the lat tice of our saute. We are ready to ornalude peace with Ruffle upon the fame conditions which its Negociator had fignee' ' at4l which the intrigues arid ineueuce of England compiled theF.m, peror Alerstot-r to rejeCt. We are ready to restore tranquillity • to the right milieus of people conquered by us, and the capital of PruMa to its Sovereign.
