tio important public defy intervened, was the first cause. These might have been overcome, had he Dot Wen Other objections in the lateness of his coning forward, in the septa', preparation of their adversaries, and their esleesis• and colossal power. If, bo■ever, he bad been slow to come for ward,ie bad net hero less sure: if he had been late in coming to the field, be bad also bee• proportion. ally late in gritting it ; end be believed that, though the professions of p•biit men, especially now.sodays, were 'idly little to he roomed, be might put forth ono profeesiost which they would credit, that his releet sore to come forward was not less than his relied once to abandon the struggle.—(Greof applease.)— Nuts ithstandiug all the wive preparation of their aosagenists, net •ithstaviding all their powerful sup pet ter., which were so many, that they bed alonet all the cottony Gentlemen, and all t►e Magistracy, save our member of It, enrolled on their side, while all the Clergy, with slew eseeptioes, and what he dreaded more than all test hem his professional knowledge of them, all the A ttorniesosithoet any es ceptiou, were engaesol in their favour; not withstand lug all this powerful combioseion they bed bee. dri ♦en from the field in utter coefusies end disgrace. In ' •sing this Wieser be was only saying what all men knew, what even their adversaries hod admitted to be the foci. They (the company) would perhaps oak . bow he become acquainted with such a codes , ;skits: he could assure them that it hod not been by say breach of confideoee, for intimacy he had nano with the Lowther,: he could assent them that it had not been by employiug spies, for. such conduct was ad- Verse to his priecipies, though there were others who were perfectly friends to it; he meant their adversa ries, the friends of the Corrupt •voles which they support, and fro■ which they receive le return their greatest support, and without wbkh the independent Electors would not dread their eteiost ',onions. Ile bed reason to think that the Loathers worse( • simi lar opinion with himself rtgarditag the result of a fu ture contest, and ►is reason was their leas of temper. When men nets thriving, their temper wee Nisei and serene; now to all the pibliestiosie of the Lowtbots he had never read any thing. and in all their speeches be bad tweet ►eard any Meg denoting equability of Wad : • greeter quantity of spleen, a morecopioos low of pare venom had ewer been witnessed than that which came from their par. tisane. Thus* who were losing every thing else, el ways lost their temper; and hoot their lose of tem per be had found nut that the Lowthers were weaker than either he hod thought them, or they had sop posed themselves to be. When they had discovered that they bad carried their election by assessed voters, their ['leads (1. e. the friends of independence) not being assessed voters, he had discovered the reason why they had looked se son► : and yet it was see pining that their bad temper had not left them after they had obtained the success which they wished, bet did net de►erve, to obtain. They had, boweser, cheesed their mode of attack on the county, which, instead of being represented by two Isow there, was to be represented in future by • Lowther, and a hived of the Loathers.— The Gentleman who was to be the new Candidate, was, as he understood, the son of • most devoted cailvasser for their (the company's) antagonist ; be wished to speak with respect of him, but •nfor tonetely his conduct bad diminished ►is claim, poli tically speaking, to respect. 'lbis, however, he would •.y, that whether the new Candidate was to beam: of those who hat: been ca heinselves, or oloi t her he was old : to be a son of a would be • man whose interests werenot theism's's of the county, whose property [we untlerist I Mr. Bret:ghat% to say] was not connected with the pro. petty of the county, and who in all bet Ham* would be a Lowther, and a Lowther complete. ( Applause.) 1., a word, he would have all the bed witioret any of the good qualities which distinguished that family. When he used the terms hod sod good, he did not ietend to speak of persosiel qoalifications, het of pet). lie conduct; and he would say, that those! the Can dolma who was to be proposed to their notice, might not be so nearly connected by the ties of blood with Lord Lowther as their present Member, he would be inure devoted to his will, and more sahsertieet to Isis interest, than any ono of the Nibble Lord's Ise fully-begotten sons could be. Ile did not like the idea which their opponents entertained re polio; county representation : he bed beard much said against the lbsioughmoogert, and be anew that of what bad been so said, mock was tree and mach was false: he did not wish to enter on that subject at present, end world, therefore, content himself with toying that • coontymoriger was &snods net of Weis as a boroeghmonger.—( Appierese.)— The Lord Isieetenant had said, iu di fence of his cuts. duet, that be had first tittered the sepreseutatios of the county to one Gentleman, and then to another; that none of them had shorn wit , desire to accept it; and that he had in consequence disposed of it to one of his own sons. The Noble Lord hail given it away just as if it had been an escisemais's pine, or a semi for the borough of Cockeroseuth—s thing, by-the • e, which he believed the Noble Lord would not lave it io his power to give away again. This was • method of proceeding no less opposite to the prin. vigils , s of the Constitution that, it was to the honour iii ,l; pity of the county of Westmorland. Until theElettore were able to return their own Members, and alit Members who owed their seals to nick and •rtift.•e and power—until the county was able to re tJtis those Members who were honoured with its con• lidence and esteem, the iielepeittletice of Westaior -1:rol was not secured, and tl•eir cease had not as. • tired et the :access to which it ous entitled. Until that period hail arrives!, shoot they slid not the Low. filers onoduated the preseistatives for Westmor land, until they ceased to hive a pocket Member, until they ceased to berm a mitt as their Represent'. tire to whom they could not confide their wants or wt,lns, the day still laboarrd, the battle was not f inned, the victors was doubtful. Ile ought to be he lair and epen in his representation to them—he did net believe that the Noble Lord sin going withdraw ene of his Naito Lord's friends had uut said it, and till they mid it, be aho•ll riot believe it. If such a thing should happen, it would nut arise frosts their moderation, because moderation they bad none; it would not ails.• from their defe rence to the Male of the enemy, because t►ey had never shown ; but it would arise from a ceolk- Roo that they mid not tr) their tricks a Second time, iseemeillatiseeni6l)idelteire of trying than at Best. Another feellen fey the wh dunes's el a Letither eras, that their oppeeenis had discovered that elsewhere the Candidate most be one of themselves. They (the Loathers) understood the plain English of what he bed jest said ; they might indeed say whet they plasm' ; but it was the duty of the Independent Electors to do their defy in spite of it—to he deceived by no professions, and to soy that they would stand asanfelly by what they had before mid; ewl, continued the Leisured Gentleman, 41 If you say it, your say is as good as if you bad sworn it.—( Appleton/.)—lt was their duty to continue the battle Instil victory was obtained, and until they gained ell that was meeting to their late triumph—e greet and Riegle., seems. As he had alluded to the late contest, he desired them to allow him to cense tulate them on the lesprotemeat which had lately taken place in the public mind, and which was more visible in the sister coonty (Cumberland) than in any other. lle wished to avoid political div ersities', because he was not aware whether all whom be saw agreed with him in political senti ments. If there were any who differed from him, he would only say, that though he differed with them in some points, he should be bsppy to co-upstate with thesis on t thus. where both parties meld agree. Ile ahou4l, however, wish to make a I short statement df the principles lb Mich he professed. fie most therefore observe, that pis public life was before am—that be had 'wirer fluctuated in his pn. lkirslsootiments for e nutmeat—Mat be vase friend tw relisittes libe►ty—shat he v... friend to the re form of all obvert-41M he yes a friend to all gleans of retrenching the rspenditore—that he oat a friend to thous reformations ehicli every day's etparienee , . proved to be necessary in the legislative and judicial asthority ; and that be was • friend, above all things, to those Refortns in Parliament which were calculated le Mere to the People those itirances which they bed amide to the Crown; to the Crown, that legitimate affection without whieh a crown yes not worth an honest man's weartng; and to the Constitution, that which was its chief pride and ornement—a limited sovereignty.—( Long and land qidarsee.)--Though the enemy of wild schemes, be professed himself the edversery to that system, whose object appeared to be to perpetuate abuse, to disfranchise the People, and to render the Crown unpopular. It had been his fortune to have been in two Parliaments. The first was that which had been nicknamed the Walcheren Parliament, for Is hat reason, es he disliked nicknames, he sheuld lint say ; )et it wee impossible to reflect on that flagitious vote without condemning it. lie bad nest belonged to the Indemnity Parliament—that Parliament in which a vote had pissed for depriving the People of the Constitution, for vesting arbitrary power in the Crown, for indemnifying its Ministers in the wee, and protecting them in the abuse of it • In short, for de priving the subject of all mans ofobtaining redress. These two Parliaments hod passed nosy, and, thanks to the spirit of the People, there was now • Perlis. ment, of which be would say as little as possible, till he saw more of their conduct, bet of which he thoaght that he might even now say, that it would never pars such a vote es the Walcheren Pediment, or such • Bill as the Indemnity Parliament. ne joined with all honest men in feeling delight in the diffusion of knowledge which bad tal.en place in the Country, and sowed the best results from it.

He paid great compliments to their independence and lute of freedom ; ssid that they were the pride, and if ilan.:er occurred, would no doubt be the stay and support of their country ; and affirmed, that for knowledge, honesty, and Wintry, they were far su perior to all the other peasantry in the country.

On Wednesday the King received a visit from the Duchess of Bowsaws, and at one o'clock his Majesty presider, at a Council of Minis ters, which lasted till half-past five. On Thersday there was to be a meetiog of the Chamber of Depu ties, for the ramose of hearing Reports from tie Committee of Petition•; alter which there was es pected to be a private Committee to discose the pre position of the Chamber of Peers for the abolition of the Drat d'ilubaiste (which, as we observed be fore, is the impolitic law by which the property of all strangers dying in France is appropriated to the King's benefit).

When the Law of Elections comes on the lapis again in the Chamber of Peers, then will the pitch note of discord be sounded. On the (&th the President produced to the Chamber of Peers the letters of nomination, and other docomeols relating to 39 of lb* new Peers. Thew, with other necessary 'crochets, were submitted to a Committee of thee* Members, M .de Cests, M o Lc, and the Marquis de CLIIIIIIONT•G ALIA* E DE, who reported the gelidity of the several papers, and it was apected that tie above new Peers would take their seats at the neat Sitting.

The Message would be referred, without discussion, to a Central Committee, whose Report it would be necessary to have before the sub ject could be regularly debated.
