He had received alturances of a difpnfition to fupport him from all quarters ; but thin it was laid, it was of no ufe. This fort of an ther he had received from more people than would bun !he poll in his favour if they were to come for- ward.

He had before °bier ved, that he had no new lubjetft to introduce. His princi ples and his co;idat they were already pet fatly well acquainted with. He had therefore nothing further to t.ty, except to take notice of fon.ething that fell from one of the other Cand;datea on a Immer day. An attack of a perfonal nature had been made on tLe Nt:bie Lr.rd the other day, and they had felt as became them to feel ; and he had often feen on other occafions, as on this, that though they might be fornetitnes wrong-headed, they we:e never wrong hear !ed.— [A rplaufe.] —He wilhed the hot fe and his lijer w- old fulpend their chorus.— [A loud laugh ] In what he might have to fay to the Noble Lord, lie lould always difplay the mind aid manners of a gentlemm He would appeal to the Noble Lord Lindell*. whether he had not a&ed fairly and can didly by hint, when he met the objedtions natal officers being rem, nett to Parliament, though I.e uti i i t tier city 1. eve it.jured his own interelf.

He highly refpeeed the character niche Noble Lord, but when he took up accufations againtt Lord St. Vincent on as flight groends as he had the accufations againll him. he laid again, that if the Noble Lord found himfelf in an error, he ought to tetra& his affertion. He hoped the Noble Lord would .flow, that the charaCter of Commodore Keates (loud as high as any in the navy.—[Lord C. " Ye% it certainly does."]—Mr. Sheridan tnen took out a later from Commodore Keates, which had been Pent, 'milked, to Lord St. Vincent, and laid that he would read (rime paffages in it that referred to the fubjee of naval abufes : " PORTSMOUTH.

" I have received with much concern in the public paperg Tome add ars of Lord Cochrane from the litifting•, which, claffed by him under the head of naval ahufe,, have in my opinion, and that of all the (Acerb I have converfed with fince a tendency to injure the rervice he has fo gallantly diftinguithed himfelf in, and whore difclp'ine fo immediately interwoven with t:s prorperity and that of the kirgdom, we have ore common Inter& in fupporting.

I fed anxious, though I owe no ithedieore to any other authority than the Admiralty, a; Commander in Chief, to take upon me the Wet (hare of refponfihility. '. I entreat your Lerdthip to place without referee, all the it. fponfibility nl the two cireontitsnecs 1 here mention, on me, to I whom cTrtainly it alone belongs" Mr. SHERIDAN having &tinted reading, again ad drefred the pe• ple, and affirmed that the gallant veteran, raid hy the Noble Lord to he fitting here at home, with the addition of a coarfe fea phrafe, %Ilk h he world to : mention, and (haring the prize money, was not now Commander of the Channel Fleet, hut had rcligned, as loon after the change as he poffibly could ; and that the Channel Fleet was now com mantled by Lord Gardner, who was now in London [Applaufe]. He hated there circumflances at the I equea of Lord St. Vincent, a ho highly valued public opinion. He again exprefrA his fatisfaation at the hate of the pill, becathe it gave them plea lute, and becaute Members of Parliament ought to be the lice choice of the people. Notwithllanding the crimes on . the Continent which had difgulled fume with the name of liberty, they aught to take care never to part with this their molt invaluable birthright. Though dives who had proved them laves unfit to recover their freedom, had, under the facred name of liberty, committed the moil abomi nable aes of atrocity and tyranny, yet they ought never to forge..., that liberty was toe parent or every thing great, every thing excellent, and the molt pre cious bkliing that Goo could confer upon his crea tion— [Loud applanfes]. Lori COCHRAN 6 was c' nfident, from the known liberality of Mr. Sheridan, that the attacks which had been made on him did not originate with hint. His expanded mind, and the feeling which he had di': pla ) cti, fh !wed him to be above Inch an at He had been act:tiled of an intention to coalefce wi h other candidates, and of haring afked the (import of the Miniltry. He allured them that he would form no email ,n, and that he derived no fcch fupport from Government as had disgraced the late Miniltry in the efeeiun of Sir Samuel Hood. He had - hated that ' the (UM ilfued for the late election did not come from the pockets of the Miniltry, but that fums were railed hy the fate of rotten boroughs almna in open market, and applied to the expences of eleCtions for counties and populous cities. He himfell was on the fpnt in Cornwall, where he had leen undue influcnce,exertit :t, and the clef:ion carried, nut by the free difcretion of the peal";, but by money, connearions, and promises. Sic had 'sated th.tt the only fum (pent by an indivi dila! of the late blemLers was I 6001. by Sir Samuel Hood. He was informed that Scoot. had been the jaint expences. They were aware what had come nut at the lVehmithler Committee, though the Com mittee refuted to enter upon the examinatian of the 1 interference of Peers,. becasfe " inter ference. of j Peers" had not been hated in the petition. Thefe were the acts of thofewhohad come in under the broth of Mr. Fox, and fmelt of his bafer part."— [A uoiver. fat cry of flume ! thame ! and uff! off ! loud and con- tinned, to that it was o ith great difficulty the Noble Lord could obtain a further besting.] He Paid he only alluded tothole who had accepted peorionsand places; and with refine to Mr. Fox, if this great charader had lived and continued in health, he believed that great me:titres would have been brought fur ward, but he had n great number of needy followers, for whom new places had been created. He could enumerate places that had been thus created, he be lieved, during Mr Fox's illnefa ; and he referred to one of the firlt ails of the late Adaninifiration, which had been to :coattail: two places of great emolument which before had been deemed incompatMe. He had been attacked whh refpee to his Itatements of abufes in the Navy ; but he affirmed, that the incr. rior officers had been to reduced to the towel pitch by a fy RCM of tyranny, that the carpenters feat to inipad veffels a: lea would fcarcely venture to lay tnat they were not lea worthy, for fear that unlefs they were found, when they came into port, to be in the toutl delpetate hate, they would be fubjeeed to pun:finnent. He did not accufe Captain Keates, whom he conlidered as one of the bell officers in the fer vice, bin he did accule fome one, of having redu• ced the inferior atlicers to Inch a Rate, that in a Slott I time no man of charaaler would have been found to 1 • terve his country. With regard to the Atalanta I aoop, he himiell, after having leen the vac], had i limed to -- Sutton and Mr. Tacker, that the I tir ft news they would hear from that Ration would be that the vetfel was loft, and it was fo. He had been accufed of fa)ing things that had a tendency to ex cite mutiny. Ir G .verriment had in time tedreffed .1.-• 'a i - va , ces of the (camera there would have been no mntiny. He Elated that men had been kept at (ea eight months at a time within a day's fail of their town cnatl, and then they were permitted to land for fire daps, f.r that they had fcarcely time to tranfaCt any brifinefs they might have, and were allowed nn time for relaxation. He adverted to thefe thins in 'order to thew them that there ought to be a perfon in Parliament who could bring them forward. He had written at different times to the Admiralty on thefe tubjelts, hut never could get a fatisfaetory anfwer.— He again cnmplained that B"rnugh Agents had been preferred to decrying Officers, and reaped the re wart of valour and fervice. He then adverted to fume queflions that had been put to him in one of the papers, in I letter, figned "An EleCtor." It was afked, how he had got his promotion fo early ? He defpifed vanity, but he world anfwer, that he ' had been made poft; becaufe with a vefrel of fourteen guns and fifty men Pe had taken one with thirty two heavy guns and three hundred men—rapplaufel— As to the promotion of his brothers in the army, . every one of them had been purchafed, fur tl,i. tea- fon, that promotion did not always follow merit, and becaufe he never afked a favour of any one. He had been removed from the Pallas to a larger frigate by Ln.d Howick, on account of the aftion with the Mi nerve frigate, when the was fripported by three brigs of IS runs each. He 'concluded by again pledging. hirnfell againft a coalition, and he hoped the other C4ndidates would do the fame. Mr. jemarttos obferved, that the Noble Lord bad concluded with declaring he would form no coalition. Mr. Jennings declared he had not enalefeed with Mr. Sheriaan, nor would he with Mr. Elliot, the latter atfeilion -the Electors would give him credit for— [Laughter.]—With refpett in cnalitionc, he had been informed, that the friends of Mr. Elliot, in def. pair, had been canvailing in the joint names of Sir Francis Burdett and Mr. Elliot. lie mentioned this to put them on their guard againft any manceuvres of the fort.—[Applattfes.]-1-ie was furry to hear a great deal of abufe larifhed on the late Adminillra rioon. The Elednrs would perceive, that the Noble Lord, in his plenitude of abufe, had eautioully and warily ft rborne to utter one word againft the prefent Minitlers. There was an old adage, which might be *lied to the N. ble Lord, it was, 4. Tell me your company, and I'll tell you what you are."—[L uJ applanfes.] —They would fee why the Ni ble Lord had (pared his cenfure againit the prefent who confift of fume of the rags of a former Adruini• dration.—[Laughing and applaufe.]—With refpeel to the navy, he thought it would be well if the Noble Lord, in dealing nut his abufes, was to take care that his Intl immahle materials were not dealt ton pro fufely.—[Applaufes —There was a hatncrr Cane and place for detailing them. This was not the time, nor was it the place. The Noble Lord knew his remedy, and he might avoid incur ring the danger, which in his opinion was extreme, by forbearing to entertain the people with thofc which he was in the daily habit of detailing—[Applaufes.]--It had been hid by Mr. Sheridan, that the fyrnpattly of the peo ple in the feeling of the Noble Lord with relpea to the calumny uttered againll his father, did honour to the heart, " but this (laid Mr. J pointing to Sir Francis Burden's numbers son the poll) does honour to your head and heart."—[Very loud anplaufes.] —There was reafon to expee, however, that on Monday and 1 nefday, all the placemen under Gn vernment would be brought to the poll. It there fore behoved the Eleders to be on the alert. if they returned the Candidate of the .People, no danger could be apprehended to the State. [Loud applatt es.] Mr. Ewor returned that,les amidll match difip. probation ; and denied that he ever authorized the canyafling in his name and Sir Francis Burdett.
