[ran' w A CORZESPO WISINT I LRICESTRII, Jvwa 25.—Not hevieg yet seen nay particulars of the proceedings in this place on Mon day (the day iced for nominating proper p ersons to represent the County is the enlisting Parliament), I :beg to eulogist you, for the information of the ene mies o f th e Spy and Green Bag Systeni, of the re ception experienced by awe of its snow zealous ad vocates. Oe Mr. GEORG* AIITOONT UGH KECK'S seine being announced, be was received with hisses, groans. and cries of No Oliver! Where is the muck injured men t &c. ; bet if this bad been all, perhaps the gallant Colonel.(for gallant be deserves to be called, after his courageous conduct last year in en tering the house of a terrible Jacobin, in the night time, and standing over him with a drawn sword while he dressed himself !) would have felt no en easiness; bet to be kicked out, as it were, of a post be had 6lled with fidelily and independence for 20 'ears, was insupportable, yet this was actually the case. So strong was public feeling against him, that ".Proad man. with alt his braless front," was obliged to succumb to the offended Majesty of the People, and retire from the " pitiless storm" to the shades of Houghton Grange, to find repose its domestic retirement. To be brief, Sir, Mr. KECK met with so much disapprobation that he was compelled to say, that m o ms it were the wish of the Freeholders of Leicestershire that he should be their future Repre- Sersiative, be would not then urge his pretensions, and accordingly published a hand-bill to that effect. Lord ROBERT MANNERS, our other la , e Member, was also not very courteously received; nor is it thought he will be returned, notwithstanding Betook Castle !lands in this county, as we have two other new Candidates, who are far more popular here than this " sprig of Nobility," whose only pretensions to a seat in Leicestershire rest prom hi% connections with the above 44 illustrieue° House. The firct new Can didate, C. M. Pit wers, Esq. of Garrendon Pink, of genuine Whig principles, was proposed by JOSHUA GUNDY, Esq. of the Oaks, and supported by H. Paco . , Eq. of Loughborough. The other Candidate is T. BANINGTON, Esq• the late Member for this 80. rough, whom I hope will receive some benefit f ro m that expression of public opinion lately so strongly manifested in this town and county. BRISTOL ELECTION. On Friday the chance of success on the behalf of Col. Baillie appearing doubtful, unless the out-voters were brought forward, Mr. Ludlow, as Sheriff's As• senor, missed notice to be given that the Poll would be closed at four *o'clock the subsequent evening when that time arrived a Protest was made, on the ground that sufficient time had not been given even from the commencement of the Election, bat more particolarly from the aforesaid Proclamation, for out-totelt to come to the Poll.—What will be the result of this Protest it is impossible to anti cipate. But it is a fact worthy of notice, that not many more than half of the Electors have been enabled to give their suffrages; indeed, the whole Election, instead of a contest for numbers, was rather a contest for speed; there was none, or but little disputing of votes, no checking of psupers, &c. bet a continued race who should be first at the Hustings; this had the effect of polling a great number in a short time; but then this was a subject for the consideration of the Sheriffs, before they ventured to close the door of representation against so large a portion of Electors, whom by no speed could possibly have been in time, and several of whom actually arrived after the close. Mr. Pitoviterse. at the close of the Poll on Fri. day, took the opportunity of justifying his public conduct, as grounded upon those real Whi g prin ciples which Mr. Foe had so ably advocated and en forced; and referred to the testimony of Mr. W. Smith, for his constant attendance to his Parliament ary duties. At the conclusion on Saturday, Mr. Davis ad dressed the Meeting with great animatio n . Monday being fixed for the Chairing, was ushered in by ringing cf bells, exhibition of flags, &c. The Procession passed with great otd-r and regit. Wily, and without any material accident.—Mr. Davis returned the salutation of his friends standing, bet Mr. PtOlheroe appeared fatigued, and sat down most of the tinge. The first party proceeded to the White Linn, Is here en etcellent Dinner was provided.—Mr. Aidoinson Daniel presided, supported by C. Payne and C. Walker, Esquires. The second Party proceeded to the Assembly Room to Diener,— Boiler Claxton, Esq. In the Chair, sup ported by W. Flipp, Jun. The friends of Colonel Wilie to the number of I‘2o, also dined together at the Bush ;—Geo. Ames, Esq. in the Cltair, supported by M. Cattle, Esq.— Whatever was the hilarity at the two former, it could not Emceed that of this meeting ; after a number of Constitutional Toasts, the health of Col. Millie was drank is the most rapturous mangier the Chairman returned thanks, and read the manly Address of the Colonel, which sill be found in oar Advertise. ment Page.—( Bristol Gazette.)

They could never in West. monster be injured bet by the departure from an up right and honourable coarse; and a cause, such as theirs, should be characterized by impartiality to the respective persons who addressed them, but Mimee all, by an abstinence from every thine out. t ragtime andviolent.—(l istering.)—iie trested , t here.. fore, they would give a pities, hearing to the Gen denten who, be understood, was about to offer him. self to their notice on the part of Sir M. Maiiirell.— (" Wr'll hear him.") i Mr. Ewa sail, that before he adverted to the message, which he was requested by that gallant (bracer, Sr M. hlaxoell,to deliver to the Electors of Westminster, he had in thank the worthy Weer's,. who last addressed them for 1114 courtesy and kind. swiss, in endeavouring to preemie for all a candid hearing. fie felt convinced that each was not done the wish of ell the Gentlemen en the Hustings en. gaged in the support of their respective friends, but that it was the most sincere desire of M. respective Candidates themselves ; certain he wee, from the ells. reverse Sir S. Itontilly and Sir F. Burdett, that if they were present, and he regretted their absence, they would be most forward in manifesting a literal disposition towards their opponent.—(Cheers.)-- Having expressed that conviction he had next to die. chase his duty to the wishes of Sir M Maxwell.— He had seen him, within the last two hours, on his sick bed, and he was directed by that gallant and 'distinguished Officer to convey his expression of deep regret, in being still unable from illness to appear be. fore them. Every man who heard him lamented, he had no doubt, the cease of his absence. Indeed, he believed, that even the wretched man, whose info. rimed siolence had led him to the commission of the outrage, now felt the most penitent remorse. Ile did not charge him with any premeditated malice— on the contrary, he believed it to proceed from a momentary impulse. Fur when was it the character of a geouiiie Englishmen to fall upon an adversary wholly unprepared end returning to his home in the 1 consciousness of security ?—(Bravo!)—What of ifence had Sir Murray Maxwell committed ?—(Cries from the multitude, "lie is the nominee of corruption, the minion of Cattlereagh")—lle bed appeared before them as a Candidate, in obedience to the soli- Icitation of a most respectable body of Elector,. He had yesterday attempted to show them, that the most linspiriting passages in the records of English history were those which related to the elective struggles of Westminster. Never did there appear such a cam. bination of talent, patriotism, valour, and intre pidity, as these records illustrated. And yet, in these times, it was the habit of its Electors to return as one of their Representatives a Naval Officer of high character.—[" Never agais."]—They acted with sound discretton,and nobly rewarded the valiant men, whose heroism and valour had upheld the glory and secured the independence of their country. As the successor to that class of men, Sir Murray Max well was invited, uniting, as he did, to great mental acquirements, the most fearless intrepidity, and the most conciliatory qualities. There bad been an alto. *ion to the appearance of an exalted public character, in order to poll for Sir Murray Maxwell. It would be a melancholy prospect for the privileges of Eng lishmen if ever the day arrived, when the elevated in rank and station took no pride is the exercise of tbeM.—[sr No Castlereagh here !"]-110 thanked them for their attention, and expressed his confidence, that Me moment of Captain Maxwell's recovery bi osild anticipate his return for Westminster.—[Cries of " Never, serer ! off, off!"] Mr. KINNAInD then stepped forward amidst loud cheering. He acknowledged that he felt some de. gree of inability to discharge his duty to them that day, in consequence of seeing, so unnecessarily placed, en array of constables amongst the mob.— (" Mob," said Mr Hord, 66 what an epithet to ap. ply to a large assembly of Englislmen.")—The word, continued Mr. Kinnaird, was not nieriit in in improper signification, it merely described a large as sembly of people. No man could be disposed to de.' preciale with which be wished to be connected. To that mob, therefore, he belonged, feeling that it syss such mobs as those he Paw before him, that pined for England a higher character with the friends of freedom through the world, than oil it... Court dresses of Europe could prodoce.—(4rploure.)— Bot (looking at Mr. Hater), was it from stick a twir ler that this taunt of ungracious language was to be expected?—(Cheers, and laughter.)—The reception gives% that day to the friend of the Court Candidate { mast have at once shown him that the People of West. minster distingoished)setiseen the man and his cause: As long as the Merit, of Captain Maxwell was the them. of his friend's panegyric, he was heard with patience, but when he talked of his cautwas con nected with the Representation of Westminster, the I expression of popelar indignation was too impenitent; 1 to be suppressed.
