GEI L 1241. ELECTION: MIDDLESRX—NINTH DAY. At the dole of the poll :at three o'clock yefierday, the numbers were— William Mena. 3. , 17 George nyng, Efq. ipso Sir Prone@ borellett • ; 365 Mr. Brno made his bow, anttetired. Sir Emelt, Bogner Roped' forward, amidli the iseelantatinlis of the populace, NMI addreffed the Meeting. He confeffed, that if the Honourable Gets. tleman near him had been Rending for the honour Of being defied to the office of a Privy Councillor, oe Prime Miniller to tome Prince, the qualification of which he had (hewn him(elf fo truly fentible—ta titmoity—ought to operate as a grand feature in pis favour. Standing. however, as the Candidate, for a populous sad independent county, ern, man in which had a right to know the tentiments, quali-_ icatiubs, and pretenfions of the perfun who folicited his fupport, the Worthy Baronet could not forbear from thinking, and from expreffiug his opinion, that filence or a difiaclination to exprets the feelings of his heart, could,foro no part of the zecoramendation of fuch a Candidate. He nulled, Iherefore, the Honourable Gentleman would at length declare his fentiments, and appi ire the Eleftors in what his me• sits confined. He (the Honourable Basonst) had declared his principles with explichnefs, candour, and openeefs. The trick, however, too common on (Lich occafions, had been relented to, to infpire con trary opinions regarding his finceriry, into the minds . of the people. Finding their former watch words of 4. the beg of Kings," and the belt of Patriots," exhautled, his calumniators had chorea a new term. 4 . the bell of Confiitutions," to which, equally with the other two, they would reprefent him as inimical. Their condoft in this rept& reminded him of a fable be had read, of a City poirelied of a watchful dug; who gave the inhabitants timely notice of the ap proach of a number of thieves by whom their neigh. bourhood was infelled. The thieves, how:ver, who were more cunning than the inhabitants of the city, contrived to imprefs them with an idea that the dog was of no real ore, but only difiurbed their night's tell, by the noire which he occafionally railed. The inhabitants, reduced by this reprefentatien, killed their dog, and the thieves loon after effelted their potpie. Such, be had no doubt, was the nature of the attempt of the coalition againfl him (Sir Fran cis) ; but he had too much confidence in the good Itch of the inhabitants of this county, and of the kingdom in gourd' to hippie for a moment that their attempts at undermining him, who had always been their Mead, i 6 the eflimatiem of the public, coati fucceed. He had never difguifed his fentiments on contlitutional points, and he now meant to repeat ahem. He was a friend, and a Rrenuous friend, to the fair, jull, and equitable influence of the Crown ; and he was an equally zealous fupporter of the fair, equal, and independent Reprefentetion of the People in Parliament. He did not with to fee the King re duced to a thing of fbreds and patches—to a man of grew. He wilued to fee him exercifing, and at li baesy W *smite, his inn prerogatives for the benefit of his people—not that he lhould be !eked upon and fhould become the property of an infamous coaition who lkould aft in bit name, and uforp his autlotrity. Tire people, on the other hand, he was of opiaion, illiossislimee their ennflitutional privileges ally—shat, they Ihtessithave the poster of chooling their own Beprefeniatives who might ferve to them as Weld in time eedanger. He did not defirc to pot a tweed into the hand of the people, but to puffers then) of a Afield to prove& themfelves at any time, or at all times when their liberties were likeiy to be in fringed on. This could only be dialed by an equal attnefentation in Pediment. Such he profelTed himfelf eager to obtain—hut Dill, agreeably to the, idea of the Conflitution, he writhed that the influence of the Crown, and the Ihield granted to the l‘•uple, Ihoold be proportioned to each other. In the mani I fano of the etralefeed panics, handed to him (for he could confider Mr. Whitbread's letter in no other light), he (Sir Francis) was charged with not enter ing futficiently into particulars. The particular saute, of complaint which he had to urge, in which the exhaulted refources • f the country were proni toed to the fupport tit fume family or political influ.. tote, were fo numerous. and of fo aggravated a kind, that the time which the Meeting had to spare on fuch an inquiry was infinitely ton little to mention an hundredth part of them, our could they all be comprehended within any realonable fpaee. He thould, however, mention a few. He complained, in the firth plat:.. of the profligate expenditure of many thoufand pounds annually of the public money on an office held by the Marquis of Bucking ham, as Teller of the Exchequer--..an office declared by theKiog. Lords and Cammonr, to be unttecetrary, and the continuance of which, therefine, could only ueconfidered as the drat of undue Minilierial influ ence, being, as it clearly was, a goofs and kandalous' telifapplicatinn of money, extracted from the bowels of the people. He. again, complained that another office of great emolument, and of no labour ( Atoy tor of the Exchequer) was held by the 'Noble Mlir qttis's brother. Lend Grenville ; the duties of which rsight be ditcharged more to the advantage of the poolle, lot fewer hundreds than the Noble Lord hid thoulito.'s for his ;mortice difcharge of it. He c , smplained that the trifling duties even which this Ofli.e required has bet is to gn,lily negletted by the Noble 1.04, that, us confeqttenct isi an omifficm of his, a g• eon public delincrent, Mr. Afktt, of the Bane, had been hollered to elegy. This be did not now date fur she firti time. He had lrimfelf publicly complained in Parliament again!. the Noble Load for 1.6 imps /per tondo& in this particular ; bat Pat n.t only ,:id not think him deferving of gen. f ire, bur even paled an Aft. liberating lion from any refpurilibolisy in time coming. He complained. alto, that timing she esilletce of she peefeni Minittry, an AA had been patted, antherifing this lame Lord Mensal/ to hold two • See-, the fair and due execs -11..11 of which were incompatible with each other.— Ile had been authothed to hold the office of Fit II .Lord of the 'fleafuty, while, at the fame time. lie c' ntlnued to retain the mote lucrative Rewire of Auditor of hie uwa Accounts. There wens tome of we particulars which he c. uld have Hated ; many I It I, h. we eer. equally goitrous. remained behind. in this one family there WAS CihibileJ wok, la vilh, unbecoming and ionneceffery so expenditure and walk it the /unit Money. as is the relent exhault-1 ea, and almoh ruined Rate of the dignity, called for suvelligation and miters. lithe loans, fo improperly lavithed on this individual family could be recalled ; if the farther paymenti of fuck difgraceful Denham were to be di:Continued ; and if to there were to be added the interea of the variiins fums of which _the labouring part - of the community were fo fcandalundy robbed, not only would confiderable alleviation, of our butthens be immediately felt, but • fund would be capable of being ellablifhed for producing a Rill more effeanal and 4eedy diminution of thole web which bear In heavy on the country. After again thanking the Freeholders for their independent fup port, the Worthy Baronet retired, amida the univer fal acclamations of the perfons of every deferiptioni upon and in front of the Luilings. Mr. Mistiest begged leave to thank the Eleflors for the additional honour they had done Lim this day. The fpeeches of the Worthy Baronet were fo extra , ordinary, it was very difficult to underhand them. From this moment another word which Mr. Mel UM uttered could not be heard, in confequence of the billing and hooting which affailed him at every hand. The Meeting then adjourned. wtsTbliNsTlirt.

Preeifely at three the Poll finally clolid, 'and very (non after, Mr. Wilfon, the Crier,.made proclama (ion in the name of Arthur Morris, Efq. the High Bailiff, declaring Sir Samuel Hood, K.

Mr. Paull, we underliand, on this, di esel), demanded a fcrutiny of Mr. Sheridan's and his own votes ; which the High Bailiff refuted.

The King's Arms, with trophies. were painted upon the bark, with the words' George Rel.' A platform was railed at the upper end of it, in which were placed two chairs fur the twa fucceil tut candidates. They were coveted with crimfon velvet, tichly gilt. The carriage was drawn by fix forces, decorated with orange and blue ribbons ; each hotfe was led by a man at his head. The carriage was nverfhadowed with lofty laurel branches, in form of a curved arch, riling from be hind.

Major Caarwit tour, who was•in the Chair, then gave—" The health of Mr. Paull,"—which mil /rank with three times three, and loud hbzsas. Mr. Pauca. then rote, and addreffed the company in a fptech of tome length ;he went over f I of the topics, which he had urged on former occa• fious, at the Hollings ; loch as the frandtileht and fcandalous means adopted by his adverfaries to gain a majority over him ; but he hoped hereafter to be able to bring all thefe infamous (cents to light; and of the ultimate fucccfs of himfelf he had no rotte ner of doebt whatever. It ass his intention on that day to have demanded a firotiny of the High Bailiff, but he h ave fuch a ferutiny as ire required could not be completed within the time when that Officer mull return the writ, and therefore he thought it better to make bis complaint by petition to the Hook of Commons, when Parliament fhoold meet. That Rep he was reared on, he intended to demand a SCftl• tiny, and he had no doubt of joiltee being done him. He intended to have flitted his intention tbat day, and lhould have done Cu at the Hollings, were it not for the difgraceful feene which sock place, (caufed no doubt by his adverfaries), of the populace having attacked the place to pull it to pieces, before the hu finelit was aerially fittilhed: He obferved, that in this flruggle of his for preferving the liberty and independence of the Eleflurs of Wellminfler, he had incurred great and enormous 'silences; and he hoped that the people, if they wifhed to be independent, would enable him to proceed in this comet}, by com tributing to the expences he (hould incur. —(41- Amin )—His fortune was not large ; and no indiv dual's fortune was fufficient to contend againit loch a powerful combination as he had to oppofe. It • was a quellion which concerned the public at large, and not himfelf as an individual. After force other obfervations, Mr. Paoli (aid, he thought it neceffary to fay fornehing concerning an expteffion ufed by him on a former occafion, which Tome of the Papers had fince frequently dwelt upon. He had, in declaring his attachment to Sir Francis Burdett, laid, that he would follow him even to the !enfold. A mi/Ilt improper and tulle conftruetion had been put upon this. He never could be luppofed, in laying Co, to entertain any notions hollile to the Conftitution of hi, country. His reafon for cling the exprelton was a rumour which went abroad, that it was the inten. Lion of Minifiers to fufpend the Haled, Corpse . AEI, in order to adopt tome fitting meafures againfl thel liberty of the people ; and a deter mination on the part of himfelf and his ft iends, to refill, either in or out of Parliament, In tyrannical a meafure, even fhould it c• 11 them their lives. Under loch circumtlances, if the life of the Baronet was to be unjultly taken awny for his Oruggle in fo glorious a cause , he (Mr. Paull) ' would be a partaker of his danger, and be ready to nrunt the fame ladder, and buffer death along wi'h hum.—(f einflbeter of a/pickle !)—Affer various other obicrvations, Mr. Paull gave the following wall : o The Fleeces of Liverpool who exonerated hear CI PM!. the celebrated Rafe*, on whok Earthen Banner was lofcrikt/v.

Some of them went to point out the place where Mr. Paull's Friends were to fend information as to bad votes given for Mr. Sheridan.

This tuall—" Defence upon right Principles," was alfo drank. Mr. CLIFFORD rote to give a torta ; but Sri! he (herald call their attention to force eireumflances that belonged to it, and oblerved, that for many years Mr s Sheridan had been re.urned Member for Staf foid. It had alwqs been the pride of the Eledors of that town, to return a Gentleman who had to long and fo ably fought againft con uption. But their minds were very snitch changed of late as to the condua of Mr. Sheridan himfelf. Some time before the Eledion, Mr. Thomas Sheridan, his fon, went thither, and had the bells rung to call a Meeting of the Corporation, , to town thanks to his father.Whea the timing took U a perfon to re found to make the motion. After. wards, when the Elation came on, Mr. Sberidan aad hie friends amide iequiry concerning the circles. fiances of Mr. Mantel Phillips, oast of the Casa dates. They found that a friend of that Gentleman owed a bill of 3001 to a Tailor, and was is danger of being reduced to great difficulty, and that Me. Phillips had pallid his word for the payment of it, and fared his friend from a gaol. Mr. Phillips being thus rei ponfible foe the money, they caufed a writ to be fent from London, and had Mr. Phillips rarefied upon it. The writ was brought down by Major Dowries, the Patent Coffin maker, and cemented, and a Mr. per. gets, Domenic Attorney to Mr. Sheridan, was she Agent for carrying it into effect. Mr. Phillip how. ever, was bailed by foie of his Friends. Still the Party of Sheridan found out another demand againft him, and cavfed'hins to be strolled at the fait of Mr. Harvey Combs, the Slower, for soak for beer Fey nillsed to a poor publican, for whosialfo Mr. Phillips had humanely palled hir word. and Mr. Cocker, an intimate Friend of Mr. Sheridan, and an Attorney of the Whig Club, was the Agent employed on that occafton. This Mr. Clifford cor.fidered a prat ice the omit dangerous that could poffibly take place to the Liberties u( the People. and this Rights ciEtes• don. It might be (aid that all this was done-by the Agents or Fr iends of Mr. Sheridan, without his know. ledge t but he .null have bad a (efficient power and controuloaer them,andhe mull be refponfible for their ads. tiotseithaandieg all tbek attempts, the Party' isf Sheridan was unable to fuccced—the voters, rat Stafford were no more than 60 - 6, and out of there Mr. Thomas Sheridan bad 165. He concluded by pro. poling as a toatt, " The Independent TV dors of &Aka*" which was draot with three times three. _ Major CA•TWRIGHT then gave as a toad, • The Farbogers of kftststicfes. who Ind throw %Jar loikpeas s• dear by Voting for Sir Francis Minket." This was drank alto with three times three. The health of Mr. Cobbett being drank, Mr Co , after returning thanks, adverted to the letter of Mr. Stevenfon, which had appeared he The 4Vvritiog dironde, in anfwer to the fiatement which he (Mr. Cobbett) had made. He had *steel that Mr. Sheridan bad, on the huffing., called the Doke of Northumberland " an old cripple, and a dotard." This had been told in two papers only, the Pen hairial totally fuppreffed the Hatement. Mr. Shea idea, however, had not denied this fad, and this, therefore, they might confider as confirmed. The other fa& was, that the Duke of Northumberland had mitten a letter to the Churchwardens of the patiLk Of &. Margaret's and St. John's, Rating in fubttaeree, Slat he had no objellion to his fan's flandiag with any hooch man, bat that he could not allow him to Rand with loch a perfon as Mr. S. It appeared now that the letter was not written to the Churchwardens, Sat to a perfon eontiefted with the parifbas. That, however, was a mailer of little confequence. Mr. Stevenfon, the Veßry Clef k, (aid, that it was not true that any thing was fide% that letter relative to the Treafilrer of t& Nov. He had mentinneJ Mr. Sheri an, and Mr. Sheridan was the Trealurer of the Newt —ln that this was nothing better than one of the Jefuitieal Hicks for which the Sheridan, were re inaikable. When he made the flatement he had forgot that he was, at the time when Mr. Stevenfon reed the minute of the letter, accompanied by Mr. Clarke, who was now in the room, and on whom be called en fay what he knew of the matter. Mr. tutees then rote and Paid, that what be was sow shoat to date, might be afterwards founded in his errs, but he would declare the truth. Mr. Cob bett had Rated the fubßanee, and alma the very words of the letter in quenion. Mr. Cobol?? in continuation Paid, that he hoped they would now believe that what he had Dared was correft. But in addition to thi, he had the authority of Mr. Potter, the chief Churchwarden, who had de= elated that the NA was elltaly as reported. He denied that the communication was confidential, as be had alked Mr. Stevenfon whether :t might be mentioned, and he had laid that the Duke of Northumberland had allowed it to be told to any whom it might concern. This affertion of the communicat ion being confidential, was the lilt refource of the Sheridans, and inc of their tricks. With regard to Mr. Paull's advertilement in the Morale Chronicle, lie had fallen into a milteke, from the eircumllance of having taken the receipt of the Morniq PV, which had charged eight guinea', for that of the Moraing Chronicle. It had been brought as a charge :spiral Gift, that he bad laid that what was called the liberty of the prefs lhould be deltroyed.-- The Morning Papers were decidedly againfl them, In only one had the letter of Major Cart wright, in at leer to Mr. Whitbread. appeared, though it had been fent to them all. The IMO ?rife (he believed there wawa paper of that name) had charged ten guineas for infesting it. Wash wonderful, then, if be had laid, that what they called the liberty of the prefs fhould be deßroyed l He then adverted to the exprellon of Mr. 'l'. Sheridan, who had- Paid, that he was not fore whether be would give Mr. Paull Come confider ation in fociety, by kickirg him out of it. What pretentious this Mr. T. Sheridan bad, to any thing that was refpeft able or good, he was at a lots to knows he had never heard of him but as a Gambler and a Bond-tireet Lounger, till about twelve months ago, when he got fume appointment about the Prince of Wales's Regiment, and all at one., without any knowledge, as far as was known, of military taffies, became an Aid de Camp tea that moll fenfible and valorous man, Lord Moira. But as the talents of the Sheridan, were wonderfully verfatile, Mu. Thomas Sheridan not finding the fword fu profitabls. au affair as he willed for, he threw it down and tool/ up the pen. He became Muller Mailer, and began to put down gobs a Aoh er , and then a d ulls—and then job§ altike—an employment that ought to have been given to Tome veteran worn out in the fervice of his country, and for this he bad zoool. a yen_ front the taxes. The Sheridan. were a fort of State paupers —you mull keep them, and it figniged little AS to the manner. Like the durdy vagabond, who infified that he mould be maintained, or that be fltould Come on the parilb, the Sheridan. mug have placer, or they mutt be maintained by penfions. They had been comparetto leeches, and every creature remarkable for lucking blood. For his part he would rather com pare them with the foreft fiy, which fought refuge in the nnftril, in the mouth, is the eye, and in fhorr, there was no part fo foul as to be prorated from its e het oachments—(a rear ipasehier dad ajllanfe). He had laid this as their attacks were levelled at their II I
