kik MIDDLESEX—SEVENTH DAY. The crowd in from of the Huttings this day was at leatt four times what it has been during any tither day rf the EleAion, and the colours of Sir Francis Dordetr, for the fidt rime: appeared to bear foals proportion to thole of his antagonilis. At the dole of the Poll at three o'clock, ait Bess were : WILLIAM Mews*, . . Clastes HIM/ ft - Str Faapcis linear% • - 4a• Mr. Brno mute his bow to Ilk Eleltora,and mind. t;i► F.

The gallant Admiral. who bad jull quitted the hating+. had talked this day of the triumph arifing to the Court, f►om the coalition which be had formed with the Treafurer of the Navy, over the independence of the people. But hr would Wk. did the Court itfelf confider ii as a triumph I Did the Treafurer of the Navy, or his friend Mr. Whitbread, really confider it a triumph ? —Was it fuch in the eilimation of Lord Grenville ? or at Carleton Hnufe ; or with the Whigs or the Tories, or the Arillocruty, or with any or all of the parties coalefced on this oceafion—to fupport the Court Candidates againft the rights and privileges of the people of Weftminfter ? He was convinced none of them held the refult of this day's poll in fuch a I light, towards his antagonitt : nor did he yd doubt that the triumph in thiacomeft would be finally in fa vour of the independence of Weftminfter. Had that great and illoftrious Senator, who lately reprefented the City, been alive this day, to land this conteit, he would not have been placed on tech vantage ground 1 as he, Mr. Paoli, bad the honour of being now placed by the independent EloOors of Weltminfter • for they had given him this day two hundred onbiaf: fed independent votes; whereas the Treaferd of the Navy, with all the loathes of influence combined, in his fupport, could not poll more than two hundred and fourteen ; and if the oomph was not ultimately in favour of the people in a cannel for the preferva. tion of their liberties and independence, he feared it would be only the prelude tokenes of blood; for he verily believed the costal was commenced by Mini. this with a view to the extineloa of liberty, firft in Wefiatinfter, and afterwards elfewhere ; and there fore he was convinced the defeat of the Miniftry in this conceit would npfet their Adminiftration. But amongft other coalitions of which he had to corn plain, there was a new one, which be certainly did not expee ; for be could not fisppofe the bodied mo. ratify of the prefent Adminilidation would Puffer them to diaorb the neutrality of the Church, or to degrade the fatted character of a Minifter of the Gofpel, anda Dignitary of the Church, by render. ing him a tool fubfetvient to their purpofes in an election conceit. In this expeßation, however, he was egregiouly difappointed ; for on Saturday tail, letters EMIG,' were difpatched by the Dean of WeR. =inner, to all the Clergy, and every other details tines of patens amenable to his influence or authors. ty, driely enjoining them to vote for the Treafurer of the Navy, under the . penalty of being difmilfed from their o ffi cial litusuoos (loud exclamations of 7 rwe I trw I) This was a new inlance of that fyf tam of coercion maw which his Majefty's Coalition Mini dere had dared to attempt the &bre, fion of inde pendence in Wellualler I added to the daring absife of the tenmanitted to the us gatherers, who are curly einaerned br law to collerft the levies epee. ted by Pwrilamemaier Whit le dee defence of the country, but Arida. . tyrannically perverted to oversee. die She people, by forcing them to ildination.

For his own part, he amulet per. fevere to the Ise moment, and abide die iffut of the tomtit, until the Poll bo oks ftiould be finally clog* Mr. Smaasoan was then dragged to Somerfet-plagg in bier carting.. by the people; and Mr. Petit'. well ammeyed in the fame manner to the Crown and A.' shot, where his friends dined. . In the courfe of she mutual proceffions to Somerlbt• place and the Croon and Anchor, the two parties of r. Paull and Mr. Sheridan came in contatt at the end of Ruffel (beet, Covent Garden. That of Mr. Paull broke through the line of the friends of his an- taconitt, and a Wart (kir:with trollied, in which Mr. Sberidan's Standard bearer was thrown down, the noloort ',relied from him and torn, and his laurels tarried in triumph to the Crown and Anchor. Saint Monday poured his hordes of people with a liberal hand into Covent Garden yellerday. We never faw a greater crowd afesnbled, bosh upon the Hutting', in front of it, and indeed in all the circum jaceat places. The (how of Ladies on the feaffolds in front was real, and they enlivened the fcene by wav ing their handkerchiefs. goellionably was bound in gratitude to feel obliged to the zeal of thole Gentlemen who had called and fupported that meetio*; but hill he regretted they bad done CI, not believing that what they bad done was calculated to produce benefit either to the coun try in general or to the county of Middlefex molar. He had, from the beginning, been anxious that the independence of the county of Middlefez rapport itfelf. He was. therefore, eager to fee what proportion of independent men were to be found in it. famed in former times for its fpirit. and for the zeal with which it repelled every attempt at its fsbjugation. It was on that independence be withed to Rand, and to it alone he hoped and requefled that I be might owe the fuffrages of thofe who polled for him.—He had endeavoured in. vain, from day to day, to bring the Gentleman who Rood next him, to Rate what he intended to do in behalf of thole Etc!tors who had already done fo much for him. The an fiver was, " Look at the Poll." This was a trick, be was tarry to fay it, too often impofed upon us, not at Elections alone, but in affairs of the deepen im ports.nce. What was the language of Minikes when we complained of any of the nuroberlefs grievances with which we were oppreffed ?—" Look at the Poll !" What defence had our placemen and pen (loners, es to the propriety of granting to them [inns of money 'evaded from the very bowels of the poor ?—" Look at the Poll 1" What had the whole talk to us, during the American war, confified when contrary to the inclinations of the great bulb of the community, we were forced to fob mit to deprivations then unknown ? Simply Ns.. " Look to the Poll I"—What had the late Mid., Ilex (Mr. Pitt) while he was profecutiog that 14' tem, which had brought this country to the vat brink of ruin, and while he was engaging us in emile lets hoßility—faid as an ezeufe and vindication ale conduit I.—" Look at the Poll 1" And midiNtleallti be a lubjelt not altogether undeferving of 1 and fornewhat charaaeriftic of the principre o f Gentleman near him, to find, oo examination of tips names which conflitneed, on many octalions, that well Poll, that he formed oat of the number t—What could be adduced in defence of that abominable waße of public money by which thoufands of pounds an nually were conferred on the Right Hon. the Tree Purer of the Nary and his family—drawn as it was well known to be. out of the almoll exhaufied pockets of the people of this country 1—" Look at the Poll." Finally, what was the cry of that fame Tradurre of the Navy, profelfing, as he did, to be Rending on the independent intereft which had brought in the great Mr. Fox, under whore name he and his colleagues were daily endeavouring to &cher them felves in the molt enjußifiable manner, knowing. as they well did. that he (Mr. Sheridan) was coming in upon the recond votes of the Minifterial Candidate, in direct oppoßtion to that intereft in which Mr. Fox had formerly flood, namely, the voice of the pet). ple I Unfortunately even he could now infultingly cry out, " Look at the Poll !" The refult of this day, however. gave hint /salon Rill to hope the county of Middlefex had not wholly furrendered its indepen dence. He hoped to fee a change in the Rate of fume polls, and that Minilters would one day or other be induced to change. for fear of their own polls. He thanked the Meeting for the honour they had done him, and hoped he fliould always he found Ready to his principles, and the true friend to the Mitre& of the people _,, , L00d andav/i1). Mr. Maztasii begged to be heard in rapport of his own charaller. On being informed, however, that the word " trick," ufed by Sir Francis Burdett, wit not levelled at him perfonally, but only ufed in a iteneral fade, he forbore from entering on the fub tee. He thanked the Electors for the continued and encreafed marks of their favour which he had erne rienced. and which he trolled they would not fuller to relax. As to the idea of referring to the Rate of the poll—lf it fhould fo happen (which be was ems vinced was impoffible) that the Worthy Baronet Ihould be placed at the head of it. he entertained no doubt that he too would' join in the cry of which he at prefent fo much difapproved—" Look at the Poll."—The Meeting then adjourned.

A number of other tooth followed. When Mr. PaeU's health was drank, he enumerated the various circluallasiturs that had occurred in oppolition to hit 1 ' avowed his belief that, notwithlianding the F of the poll, the virtue, and indep en d ence , ' verance of the Eledors of Webniniery I ultimately bring him through the coots! .. JP* Santly. They had done fo before fo r Mi. F 62, e y would do fo now for him.

He was a different the Treasurer of the Navy, with whom he clef* coalition nor compromite. He *as convinced ate_ I be loft the Eledion, the liberty of England will On for ever. Major Caetwarintr propoted the health IA ; Cobbett, which was received with unanimous of appla tile. - .Mof Mr. Con save' would have dorms DO mars merely thank them, had it not hems for which he had afoertalood a and which it w portant fat them to know. The fir& related Belle denial of Mr. Sheridan, that he had called the Kluft of Northumberland, "An old cripple and a dose*" He had not beard him fay fo himfelf, but he had it from Mr. Powell, a perfon of veracity, to whom Mr. Sheridan bad addreffed himfelf, and made oft of the expecons adverted to, in the pretence of feveral issains. The other fad was relative to the alledged . circular letters of the Duke of Northam= The fad was, that the Duke of Nor t h om b er l a fent a circular letter to the veltries of St. Margaret and St. Julio, and this he had from Mr. Stevenfon. a folicitor who had tome concern in the bufinell of one of theft parifhes. This man bad read to him a minute %Alia he bad taken of the letter. Owing to the per ilous who had it not being at home, he bad not teen she letter itfelf, bat the fulritaoce of it was, " That 1 the Duke of Northumberland bad no objedion to his ton ' s being the colleague of any man of fair thee ratter, whatever his rank or circumllances might be, r but that he could not allow him to degrade hitt-dell by being the colleague of fuch a man as t h e T rea . I ;arm. of the Navy." He hoped that this would h e fairly Sated, mad be woad prove it to be true. Mr. Cobbctt then adverted to the obfer.etiona of Mr. Denis O'Bryen, in Tire Minsky Pe, relative to rite wonderful dilbovery which that gentleman had made of Sir Francis Burdett's principles. This gentleman thought, that not only Weilminfter, but the world and the univerfe, were mightily concerned in his opi nions. He had ditcovered a mots aftrinifhing (cent relative to Sir Francis Burdett, which was, that he believed in his foul that Sir Francis Burdett aimed at equal Copt ensacy with Cromwell and Bonaparte I—. (Load and torsiiimed lougkor.)—Yet this Mr. O'Bryen had always fpoken of Sir Francis Burdett to him (Mr. Cobhett) in terms (.1 the moftunqualified appro. bation, both as loyal to his King, and faithful to the Conftitatiou of his country. Something elk there fore mull hive induced Mr. O'Bryen to publiat his dM eovery to the world now than a love of truth. He profeffed confiderable refped for Mr. O'Bryea nor. withaaoding this piece of finsplicity, becaufe while other Whip !imaged Mr. Fox to death for plates and penfions, Mr. 0' fit yen kept aloof, and difdained loch conduct. As to the young nobility, whom Mr. Sheridan had collected about him, none would envy him their fupport. It was better to be low in birth and high in character than " high in birth and low in character"—(load hoofs of ajgdarfi). Mr. Sheridan had paid him tome compliments at the huflings, but he (corned any praife from fuch a perfon. Major CALTWRIGNT, on his health being propofed, when he was about to leave the Chair, thortly ad dreffed the Company to the following effea : "Gen tlemen, very good words have too often been made ufe of for very bad purpofes. All of you, except thofe who are very young, remember when a plu-afe was ufed—' King. Lords, and Commons.' It was meant by thofe who ufed it, merely as a cover so fupport thofe who were the greateß enemies of our freedom. I wi(h that the King Lhould have all the (hare in the Government which belongs to him, and no more. I with the Lords to have all the (bare in the Government which belongs to them, and no more. I with the pea* to have all the ( h are in the 'Government that belongs to them, and no 4. But unlefi a Reform of Parliament should take place, whatever we may think of other Governments, our own eventually will be sodone." Mr. Coasarr was then called to the chair, which having filled for a fhort time, Mr.Flaws.ano fucceed. ed, and afterwards the Meeting became one of a con. vivial nature. M►. PAULL recommended to every perfon at the Meeting w endeavour to being up one or two votes to-morrow. He would not defpair while there was a chance of fuccefs. All held up their hands in ap probation of this propofal and the Meeting &panted. THE EVENING STAR. LONDON.
