BATIM !Mt Mr. Brno, in a very Mart a2drels, returned his I Thanks to the Freeholders, for the high fituation they had placed him on the Poll, and entertained no doubt, but that if the Eleaion was protracted till !lest week, he should be much higher. Mettrsu alfo returned his Thanks for the honourable fupport he had received in general, and particularly that day. Whether the Elettion was to he protrafted or not, muft reft with the Honourable Baronet. If it was to be continued, he fhould have the honour of again addreffing the Freeholders.— He tequefted that his friends would not be lulled into fecurity by an idea that the Election was con cluded, but that they would continue their exertions as they had hitherto done. Sir CHRISTOPHER BAYNES then addreffed the Freeholders to the followirtg effect._" You have fop ported me in a moll liberable and Honourable man ner. , When I firft had the honour of addreffing you, I Rated to you fSch proofs ae muft thew what my political character has been. You know the pm Weal character of my well.hnown favoured opponent Mr. Byng. It is notorious to every body, that Mr. Byng was a friend to the late Adminiftration. And what did that Adminiftration do ? They attempted to eontroul and reflrain the Sovereign in the jtift ex ereik of his prerogative, and inherent rights.— ' [Loud tumults of applaufel—Thole perforts called themfclves the Whigs of 1688, but they are no fuch thing; they have entirely deviated from the true principle of the Whigs. As loon as they got into power, they held forth to the world that they poffef fed all the talents of the country ; and how have they exercifed thofe talents? In every part of their conduct towards foreign powers, they have acted in a manner injurious to the interefts of the country. /1 you look from the Baltic to the Dardanelles, you will fee hoer they have ailed. Another pretty thing they did was, to introduce a new fyftem of Finance, a fyftem that was calculated only to deprive us of our comforts, to diftrefs the country, and entail beery burthens on pofterity. There was another Meafure for which they have arrogated mifh merit, I mean the bill for the Abolition of the Slave Trade; of this they made a yekaing herfi for the purpofe of gaining popularity. But I mutt tell you that the meafure did not originate With the late Minifters, but was a continuation of the exertions which many re fpeftable men had been making for yeat:. bofore.— But great as, has been my detefiation of the Slave Trade, I mutt fay that no man who was a real friend to humanity would have voted for its abolition in the way the late Minifters did. A man of humanity {tumid have voted for a gradual abolition of that molt infamous traffic—[Loud applaufes.] for Purely it was not right to put things in loch a ftate that thoufands of our fell3w treaturer, when brought down to the Mores of Africa in order to be fold as flares, mutt be butchered by their enemies, when no body appeared to purchafc them. Now, Gentlemen, with regard to my opponent, Mr. Byng, I thank him for the delicacy he has obferved towards me. I am however too old a foldier (we underfland Sir Chili topher war mews efeer in the blues) to be afraid of an open enemy. But I deteft an tnfidious one, who, under• the mute of neutrality or friendthip, attempts to injure me. Gentlemen, I allude to Mr. Mellifh, [loud tumult] and I will point oat in a few words ' , hat his condo& towards me has been. During the murk of Mr. Mellifh's cantrafs, he was atked, ‘, Who is Sir Chriftopher Baynes ?" His anlw"er was this— " I do not know any thing about him." Now I will tell you that he ought to know me ; for during the time of the !alt eleaion for this County, he tent me kveral letters foliciting me for my vote and intereft, and fupport. Mr. Melling therefore fhould not have laid he did not know who I was. I am no intruder, Gentlemen, in this County. My father was born in it; I have lived in it myfelf as a refident Magiltrate for many years, and I challenge all who know me to come forward, and fay if they ever knew or heard of my doing any man an injury.—[Loud applaufe.]— Now as to the protraaion of the Poll, 1 mull tell you, that it was my original intention to continue this coma till the laft hour allowed by law. But I am now induced to relinquifh it, and I do not reline finish it from any fear of the expences with which it may be attended, nor from any motive which may be cnnfidered in the flighteft degree difrefpeaful to the Freeholders ; but in confequence of the advice of teveral of my friends, who, well knowing the ma nceuvres and the arts that have been praaifed againft me, and walling to preferve the peace of the county, hare advifed me to retire from any further conteft, which th ere f ore I molt refpeafully beg leave to -de cline. And before I leave thefe battings. I mil re turn my moll hearty thanks to all the Freeholders, whether they have voted for me or not, whether they were biaffed or unbiaffed, for the attention they have (hewn me (ince I came here. (Loud applaufe.)— They ;n a y b e a ff ured, that whether in my capacity of a count, y Magillrate, or a Reprelentative in Par liament, their inter ells (hall always be attended to by me. If a vacancy for the county ihall arrive at any future occafion, and I have great reafon to think . . there will be one between this and Chtillmas, I will again offer myfelf to your notice; when I hope to have better fuccefs. At all views be afured you Hull ever have my hearty good withes.—( Aarefi was followed by lead tad repeated plaw&t.) t, when sir Chriftooker Baynes returned to brim from Branford, he undarftood that a large body of /freeholders were Iready to come tad Inge for He accordingfy altered kb de termination of retigning, and the Pull will go on. WESTMINSTER ELECTION. THII FIFTISKTH MID LAST DAY. - - - The Poll commenced on Saturday morning at eight o'clock, and finally clofed at three. The chief obje& of Mr. Sheridan endeavouring to head Mr. Elliot on the poll, was for the pnrpofe of prefenting a Petition to Parliament againft the return of Lord Cochrane. The friends of the Noble Lord, it is faid, occafinned the poll to be I efymed for Mr. Elliot in the courfe of the morning. On the numbers being call up, the final dole of the poll appeared as follows : sir FRANCIS BORDITT 5 1 34 Lord C 3 / 08 Mr. SIIRRIDAN 1615 Colonel ELLIOT 2137 It having been intimated , in, the tourfe of the fore. noon, that Mr. Sheridan wnold addrefs the Eledors from the Hullings. on a fubjed of the firft importance to their independence and interefls, he appeared on the Huftings at three o'clock. As loon as the High Bailiff proceeded to calf up the Poll in the Vary- Room, Mr. Sheridan ftepped forward to addrefs the populace, when initantly the difgracefnl all of de. molithing the Huflings began, and Mr. Sheridan was borne away by the crowd to the del,: of Hod. ton's Hotel, where he returned the Eledors thanks in a neat and concife fpeech, and_conclnded by Rat ing, that it was his intention to petition againft the return of Lord Cochrane. Mr. Sheridan was drawn round Covent• Garden, attended by a number of friends, and then proceeded along the Strand— through Pall-Mall, and along St. Janiees.ftreet and Piccadilly to the Albany Tavern. The following was the order of the proceilion : Rags eying with the words "Sheridan and Independence" in feribed thereon. Marrowbones and Clearers. A handfotne Car, drawn by Sir 14•rfcs --- , driti a Band of Milk. A Grand Military Car, In which Mr Sheridan fat uncovered, furrounded by his Friends, ' drawn by Six Honks, adorned with Ribbons. A BarLuche, with Ladies and Gentlamed.. A number of beautiful Flags. Several Gentlemen's Coaches and Chariots. When the proceillon arrived oppofite Carlton houfe, it gave three cheers. Mr. Sheridan and his party reached the Albany Tavern about five o'clock, where they dined and fpent the evening Lord COCHRAMI'S Committee having obtained a model of the PA t.tat s frigate, it arrived at one o'clock oppofite the Committee Room in Coyest Garden, from Hungerford, molt fuperbly deccrated with Rags, and filled with gentlemen. The ceremony of chair ing his Lnrclfhip took place at half paft four o'clock, in the following order : The High Conftable of Weftminiter, Beadles, Marrow Bones and Cleavers, Herfemen, Beadle., A Band, Drums, and Fifes, to relieve, Standard Bearers, The Model of the Pallas Frigate. drawn by fix Bay Harks, with Poftilions, in fcarlet jackets, The Yards and Topmafts decorated with blue Flags, on which were inferibed, Cochrane and Independence," See. Ike. The (hip was manned with officers, and men In new jackets. Nest followed Lord Cochrane, Mr. Willock, and other friends, In bib Lovable' Ramat. And the prccefftun tlofed with Gentlemen's Carriages. Lord Coolest., entered the Car in Bedford•Rreet, and proceeded through King-ftreet, round Covent Garden, down Southampton-fireet, to the Strand ; round St. Clement's Church, to Chafing Crofs, Par liatnent-fireet, King fireet, Cockfpur ftreet, Pall Mall, and St. James's fireet, Albemarle firm, where he alighted at Colonel Johnfione's houfe. After Lord COCHRANE had alighted at the houfe of Colonel Jones rots, the procefflon was continued to the houfe of Mr.WILLocx, in Golden•fquare, the refpeetable Chairman of Lord COCHRANE'S Com mittee. This worthy gentleman then alighted, and was repeatedly cheered by the huzias of the popu lace, who at this time filled the Square, and he re tired amid universal expreflions of fatisfattion, at his manly and dignified line of condua in fupporting the Elation of the Naval Hero. The procetllon of Sir Francis Burdett's friends, was fimilar to that which paraded the ()Teets for fe veral days paR. It went round the Garden, the mile playing " See the conquering hero comes," then down Southampton area, and along the Strand to the Crown and Anchor Tavern, where the patty dined ; Mr. Jennings in the Chair. '• The High Bailiff returned Sir Faawcfs BURDETT and Lord COCHRANE duly eleaed. The ceremony of giving in their qualifications, &c. took place in the Veftry-room,as the Hollings was demolilhed,and every timber removed in lets than half an hour after the work of dilapidation had commenced. The concourfe of people that affembled at the clofe of the poll, in Covent-Garden, was prodigious.— Every window was filled with genteel company, and the very roofs of the houfes were covered with peo ple ; and we have the fatisfaetion to Rate, that no ferious accident occurred that has come within our knowledge. When the mob had completed the demolition of the Hollings, and divided the fpoil, which imme morial cuttom has confecrated to the Ittfidly of the People, Mr. jOllllll BURDETT (brother of S:r Francis) ad dreffed the populace from the window of Drury's honfe, at the Piazza ; he merely returned thanks in behalf of his brother, and congratulated the Eleaors on the glorious triumph obtained by their zealous and independent exertions. Some perfon appeared at one of Richardfon's win dows over the Piazza, where Lord Cochrane's Com mittee was held, with an extingnifher in his hand, exhibiting it to the multitude, which fo enraged them that they made him retite, and they afterwards broke feveral of the windows of Richardfon's hook. Upon the arrival of Mr. Sheridan's procellion at Albany, Mr. Sheridan again addreffed the crowd, among whom a valt number of-the knot ton, particu Carly ladies, many of whom occupied the windows of this fpacious houfe. Above Soo perfons fat down to dinner. After the cloth was removed, and the nfual Wafts. cremeo4l,ll - tive of tifpell for the Royal Family, were drank— the immortal memory of Mr. Pot, and the caufe o libetty all over the world, followed; ' Mr. G. Noet, after a neat fpeech, prailtofed the health of Mr. Sheridan, which propoAtion was fe conded, after Come obfervations, by Mr. Moore. The Wail was drank with the higheil applaufe—and - Mr. SHERIDAN rote to return thanks. Adverting to his abfepce from the bulling, yelierday, die Right Honourable Gentleman took notice of the reception' which his fon, who appeared as his reprefentative,, had the honour to meet from the people. Of that reception, and the panegyrics ptOnnunced, both by , friends and foes, upon the talents which his fin die played, be could not hear,pf courfe, but with pecu liar pleafure—[Loud plaudifi]. As to the opinion of Mr. Jennings, faid Mr.Shetidin, that I ought to have i dealt out grave infiruetions to the people, as to their' tights and duties, &c. in the courfe of the elation, I' mutt fay, that although I4ould not but admire the rod dry legal way in whieh that Learned Gentle man dealt t ut his fentimenti, I feel I am too old to go to feh,.ol to him to learn the fhape and manner in which a popular Affenthly ought to be addreifed— (A c:y of heat ! hear !)—That Learned Gentleman, as I mu A call him, is, no &mitt, a very fober judge of the mans by wi.ich the attention of a popular Af fembly may be inflrutled : but he will allow me, upon inch a point , to confult my Own judgment.— [Applaufes.]—Returning to the . fubjeft of his fon, The Right Honourable Gentleman anitnadvet ted tip. on the obfervations of Lord Cochrane, that it was un. becoming in father and fon to compliment each other. But that Noble Lord teemed, when Lord Dunrlonald's name was mentioned on the hultings, to manifcft a very lively fentibility of the affection which ought to prevail between father and fon ; and why fb)oli the Noble Lord remark in terms of cenfure upon the operation of that feeling in others.—[ApplAufec.]— Gentlemen, as the name of a great public ch.irac• ter has been wantonly introduced upon the hultings, I (hall now devote a few words to that fubjekt. I was proud to ohferve, that the Electors of Weltminfler received with indignation the foul charges that were made againft that dittinguiflred Nobleman, Lord St. Vincent. I was roofed by the language of Lord Cochrane, becaufe I thought the charges he brought forward, were the molt wicked that ever were made. —Gentlemen, when that young Nobleman fpoke difrefpe&fully of Mr. Fox alfo, I own to you I had Come difficulty in repreffing that vindictive phrafe which would have fuggetled itfelf to another man. Gentlemen, when a perfonal attack was made upon Lord Cochrane's feelings, I was the firlt to repel it ; when the name of his father (Lord Dundonald) was mentioned as a reproach to him, I was proud to have an opportunity of expreffing my difapprobation of the conduit of the perfon who introduced that ftibjett. Gentlemen, a worthier, a more benevolent, a more patriotic Nobleman, never exilled than the Earl of Dundonald. It is true that this worthy Nobleman has expended a princely fortune in improving the arts the agriculture, and manufaeures of hiscountry ; and, if Lord Cochrane has any one thing to be proud of more than another, it is that he is the fon of fuch a father.—[Bravo t] It is true alto, that Lord Dundo nald has neither place nor pennon, becaufe he (corned to truckle to the Minillers of his day. With filth feel ings towards Lord Cochrane, when he infulted the memory of one fa dear to me, when he talked of the " brunt of the Fox," in his own indelicate way, how could I reprefb my indignation ? But the Eledors of Weßminfler have expreffed their indignation alto; by withholding their votes, they have convinced Lord Cochrane that he is not their choice ; and had two days more been allowed me, I would have been Inc cefsful againft him, unlefs he had kept a Minillerial port open under his lee. I cannot, laid Mr. She ridan, but feel gratified when my fon deferves the good opinion of his countrymen ; and I cannot apprehend that any man of liberality and feeling will condemn me for expreffing that gratification. Indeed I feel that it would be a vile and bale affectation in me fo to at towards any man, and particularly towards one who is a candidate for public favour, as not to do him ju ft ice becaufe he is my fan—[Applau fes.3— I have no fuch feutiment, and therefore I will tell you an anecdote which illuftratee his charaLer, and which I fhould have mentioned before, if not reltrained by him. When I thought it my duty to fupport the Adminillration of Mr. Addington, one of my reafons for that fupport was, I will own, to prevent a coalition between Mr. Fot and Mr. Pitt, for, Gen- tlemen, I am a Moog enemy to fuck coalitions. If my advice had been taken, the coalition between Mr. Fox and Lord North, the ends of which were felt for more than 20 years, would not have occurred.— But the threatened coalition between Mr. Fox and Mr. Pitt I (till more deprecated, for I could fee no good that was likely to arife from it, and I thought it would put all political difiindions now out of view, equally difgraceful to both, but eminently fo to Mr. Fox. Upon that ground, ailing as an independent difinterefled Member of Parliament, I gave my fup port to Mr. Addington. But I made no flipulation 1 for Minifierial gratitude. Q2ite the contrary, I de termiaed my refolution to accept no office, either for myfelf or any friend whatever ; my refolution being never to enter into office without Mr. Fox—[ Loud plaudits]. But, to the anecdote—when I was out of town, and at a confiderable diilance, Lord St. Vin cent, with the approbation of Lord Sidmouth, made a propofition to my fon as a matter of perfonal frientlihipl to me, to appoint him Prize Mailer and Regifter of Malta, at the fame time Rating to him, that his acceptance of it, which if he refufed mutt be given to another, and which would have afforded him an opportunity of very loon realizing a fortune, would not at all implicate the Government or me ; on the contrary, that I fhuuld not be held under any obligation whatever to Government in conic quence—Lord St. Vincent adding, " your lathe, may, if he pinks, impeach Mr. Addington, imme diately after you accept this office." But (till my fon, although I was abfent, reflecting Mr. Fox was oppo fed to Mr. Addington, that his acceptance of office in fuch a cafe might fubjed the m.nives t f my conduit to fufpicion—that it might be fuppcfeci by the illiberal I was influenced by filch a circumtlance, pofitively and peremptorily refufed this valnable place [peals of applaufe.] I fhould deem rnyfelf guilty of tojultice, added Mr. S. were Ito fupprefs fuch a fact as this...; [Applautes.)
