Burdett, 2333 Mr. Iles c Gentlemen, I return you my cor di.d thinks, for your uniform kindnefs. I have the latilatttion to Rate, that I am on this day's roil fist y-ane above Mr. Mainwaring; and I hope will all continue to encreale my majority.— i rcquell you to exert yourfelves, each in his re 1-;•ive circle, to collea voters ; but to fuck of you as have no relations or conneaions to prevail upon, and have no votes of yatir own, I can defcribe to you the manner by which you can obtain them, namely, by immediately marrying Tome widow or young girl who may happen tobave a freehold estate (a laugh); and I truft that even after fuch marriage you will have energy enough left (a ;rad I , nigt) to animate your exertions in the com mon cattle." , 4 Sir FRANCIS BURDrTT—Gentlemen Freehold ers, I !hall at prefent take up but very little of rar time, becaufe that, in this very advanced Rate of the poll, no time is to be loft. I mentioned to you, the day before yeflerday, that the Free Election was about to commence, and it appears I was right ; for !ince then, the poll has proceeded molt anfpicioufly for the cattle of Freedom. In the votes of this day I have nearly doubled Mr. Justice Mainwaring ; his poll, however, is not in cordidecable, when the length of the conteft is re colleaed ; and it fully juaifies my opinion, fo re peatedly declared in the courfe of this ftruggle, that e xertion is neceilary to bring it to that termi nation which is In anlionfly allied for. As Weft. mina m. Abbey and the Public Offices have been e mptied to ferve the purpoles of our advetfary, his advocates now, in order to delay the progrefs of the poll, (fart a fpceies of objeelion to almoa every voter, which has not been fuggelted fince the cont. mencement of this contelt, until this day. But whatever may be the cavilling or general condo& of th:ffe perfons, it is my earnell with that we cnminue to preferve the fame line of can dour and proper condna, which have eharaCteri med our efforts heretofore. The Calle infinuations of our adverfary lhould have no influence upon us. This unfortunate Candidate, for fo I mutt confider him, as he kerns to completely to have loft his temper, csattinties his charges egalaa us ; he calls us a faCtion; but really I cannot conceive how that term is to apply to the general and unequivocal exprettinn of public opinion which we have as it tielled in the courfe of this Ele&ion. He alto ac cotes us of an intention to derange focial order.— Our condo& throughout is the belt refutation of this impeachment. I mull remark, however, that I du not know to what kind of focial order he i 3 attaeliei, unlefs to imprifonment of men in folitary e:;is (:,ud applaufs.) I beg you to recolleEt that th.re are kill Freeholders enough to obtain our ends, and that the time is quite fulficient—not lefs than the period in which the former EleCtions of this Conn*. y have been decided. You therefore mad led that, if we are not wanting to ourfelves, we ns.ty be certain, from every confideration, of Leing triumphant on Thurfd.ty. ' In the vitae of the day, in arguing before the Sheriffs tie right of Come mill-owners brought up to vote by Mr. CLITTORO, Mr. COURTOPP, one of Mr. MatswaxlNG's Counfel, laid that they could not take the oath ; that if they dared to vote they would bc. perjured, and he would take care they thould be indiaed for the perjury. Mr. Ci.srFOßD—" Thefe men are not to be inti micia!e.l by any litch threats, which are exceed ingly in Ircent, as coming from the Counfel of one of the c'andidates. I tell them, as a Barrifler, that they have t legal freehold, and have a right • to voe.: ; I Advil': them to take the oath ; I would Lair: it in their fituation, and if Mr. Mainwaring ventitres to pr, Er a bill of indictment for the per. jury, I will appear in Court as a witnefs, and will 11, t i c tr, the Jury, on my oath, that in my opinion thcy have right to vote, and that it was under rsi,y alvice as a Barriller that they. took the oath. I will then dired an action to be ..u. fight againa Mr. Mainwating for a malicious prolecution." ',Victim.' BEN TINCR gave a fingle vote vcilc:Liay for Mr. Matitiwaatmo.

Lt contequence, crowds of perions be- I. 41 to afrernble along the Strand, Pall-mall, and the ozlia theets through which they were to pals, Noce:ion. The ftreets were lined as th;,!;l: the King went to St. Paul's.— P, r+ u, to the departure of the procetlion, a man ...; , i)t.tt.:.l at the top of a coach, in chains, attend a ! . :Ina!:, who appeared in the greateft up her hands, feemingly to implore ance for her wretched companion ; but on Sir Fas4cts's flags, on which was writ t,a No La(lile," his chains dropped off, on 114:11 he began to dance, anthill the loud and rei ttrzlted pialidits of the motley groupe. The man ed his part eztreniely well, and appeared to be no dranger to filch decorative ornament:. ried by men en borfehaelt ; the band ot mune in an open waggon ; next came Mr. Fox and Lord NVlLLtast Russrr.t. in a chariot followed by About twenty coaches fill of Freeholders, and an immenfc concourfe of people shouting and hazy *.t• ing. Mr. Fox fat back in the carriage, and could fcarcely be feen. At Charing-crofs the crowd was exretlive. The equefkrian ftatue was dreired out in Sir Francis's colours ; the fhouting was here very loud. In PalLmall the populace flopped Lord W. Rnifell's carriage, and attempted to take off the horfes ; but his Lord(hip entreated them fo earnealy, that they defiled. The proceffion then paired on without any very remarkable circum (lance till it came to Brentford, when the holies were taken off, and Lord Ruffin's cairiap was drawn up to the Huftings in triumph, amidst the loudefl acclamations. On his feturn, Sir Francis was drawn as natal to Kew-bridge, and again his horfes were taken off in Hammerfmith, and he was drawn into town. The pop ulace, we underftand, broke the windows of the honk in Brantford where Mr. Mainwaring dined, and that Gentleman was much infulted ou his return to town about eight o'clock. Many quarrels and fights took place between the refpedive parti zans, and many curious devices were difplayed. In Hammerfmith a fign was hung out, of a quart of water, with a bit of bullock's liver, and under neath was written 44 Mainwaring's Hotel." At another place, a butcher dread out a noble fir loin of beef, in Burdett's colours, with 44 Burdett for ever." In Brantford, at a private houfe, three two-gallon tankards, foaming with porter, and decorated with Burdett's ribbons, were difplayed, and a number of men drinking out of them.-- Three quartern loaves, decorated in the fame man ner, having " Burden for ever," and knives ftuck in them, were alto difplayed at the fame place. The crowds on the road returning, exceeded all belief. The Chops in Brentford, and moll of thole in Hanimeninith, Kenfington, &c. were (hut up, the females at the windows above drefTed in Sir Francis's ribbons. A great crowd remained at nine o'clock, oppofite Sir Francis's lictife, Piccadilly, making all perfons caning huzza for Sir Francis. Several pickpockets mixed in the crowd in the Strand, in the morning, and did a conflderable deal of bufinefs. In allulion to the gill of twelve years old, taken up by Mr. Main waring, the cry yefterday was, " Who pole the child ?" Anfwer, Mainwaring." The night be fore lall Sir Francis gave away a but of porter at the bottle of the father of this child, who is a pith lican. In one pan of Hammel truth, Mr. Main waring was hung in effigy ; and a figure of Sir Francis Bunktt was placed, crowned with laurel. Between nine and ten o'clock a mob began to affenthle in front of Mr. Mainwaring's houfe in Hanoveriquare. They appeared difpofed to riot, but except a few flicks, they had no other weapons. Notice was immediately fent to Bow-flreet, and the Horfe Guards, that an attack was, -likely to be made upon Mr. Nlainwaring's houfe. In about half an hour between forty and fifty runners and conflables came up and began to difperfe the mob, who then amounted to upwards of one hundred and fifty in number. Except in a few inflances, in which the conflables were obliged to ufe their naves, the mob (hewed no fpirit of refinance, nor did they attempt a fingle ad of violence. A troop of the Horfe Guards came up immediately after, and completed the dilperfion of the populace.— Mr. Mainwaring then came to the door, and ex prefred his regret to the foldiers at being obliged to fend for them for his protedion. The connables and army, teeing no fymptom of any intention to realremble, Coon after went away, and the place remained perfdlly tranquil and free from riot du ing the remainder of the night.
