Yesterday monis' came en the Election of a Bargees to represent this Borough in Parliament-- About ten o'clock the Mayor end Corpo►ation ar rived at dm Tows Hall, when the nomioation took place. Mr. PA1.6a411., lOW a short speech, in which he eulogised the family of Mr. Anson, wish whom he had been arqualated for near forty years, sod tad always foond sheen loyal so their King and Into to the Constitution, concluded by proposlug t ► at Gee. 'lemon. Mr. 111.111 RY seconded Mr. Palgrave. The Mayo& then asked if there was any Gentle man to be sinnainated its opposition to Mr. Anoint ? and no answer being gives, the lion. G. Anson was declared dilly elected.--( Lad cheers.) The lion. G. A 'nom rose.—lf (said the Hon. Gee. thanes) there arias et any time the slightest (Mimi of pride In a man's breast, it most beat a moment like I the present, when placed in such a situation. I have long looked forward to the hope of inch a distinc tinn, and long aspired to so enviable a situation—a gift made more than doubly gratifying, and myself more than doubly grateful, by the manner in which it has been given.—(Nuck cheering )—Te be admen one of your Representatives is an honour which can. not he ascribed to my own services, bet to your af fection for those branches of my family whose brightest glory it has ever been to defend the rights of the People and the Constitution of the country.— Yoe, all of you, heard at a former time my political sentiments, and are aware that 1 do meet cordially disagree with the present Ministry, in ivory point of view. I consider it as utterly impossible for a nation to prosper, if conducted in such a manner as the present Ministry are now carrying on the Government ; and it is highly incumbent upon Gs to transmit to our posterity the Constitsilos in the same parity we received it from 00000 craters. In my opinion, Gentlemen, • radical Reform is else of the first requisites necessary for the welfare sod prosperity of this kingdom. Useless Places and Pen. *ions should be entirely put an end to, and Economy and Retrenchment ought to be the principal objects of the Administration. Some persons may think it greatly presumptuous in me to find fault with the measures of Ministers, and may quote my age and inexperience in these affairs ■s a proof of my pre. somption ; but, Gentlemen, I feel confident in my essettions, suppert►d as 1 am by glorious proofs of the feelings of the People of England. The great in. crease of Independent Members teemed to serve in the new Paillasses., bears me up In my assertion, and shows that the People are growls jealous of their rights sod privileges. I new retaro you my grateful thanks for the h you have done me, and so long as I continue to guide my conduct by those principles which I profess, so long shall I dire to submit myself, wit►out apprehensino, to your judgment and choice. Mr. Anso• returned thanks to the Mayor for the civility shown him, and cost eluded by thanking the Premises : the boomer they bad that day done him would never be effaced from his memory.—( MIKA cheering.) Mr. N. PA 1.111111 said, this was a proud day for the Freemen of Yarmouth, because It pee thou on opportunity of seeing their respected Friend Mr. Rembeld, owe mere among them.—Ho was now a tried men, as was proved by the up. Retina of his saw among the glorious Minority on the Bank Restriction Bill. Thera are those, said Mr. Palmer, who think that yea are not able to en. derstand these affairs ; they consider it a question toe difficult for the minds of poor men to compreheod.— We all know that it is a paper curreeey which has enabled the Ministry to carry through this long and ezpensive war, and has brought the National Debt to the amount at which it stands, and they are new sweating year bevrte-blood is order to enable them to pay it off. Economy and Retrenchment mast be the order of the day ; and it is of vital importance for the nation to have an effective Reform: bet both these necessaries are impracticable, valise the Rotten Bo rough System is entirely done away. Mr. Anson immediately entered the chair under the church trees, and, accompusied by ►is friends bearing banners, and displaying the maul tokens of joy, was carried through the town.

Your Paper enabled we to sake an addition to the article; and, es the weeds below, I have sent the whale ("Ito be published in Leedom. If you think it worth Inserting, I beg you to have the goodness to give It • place; and I beg the same favour et the hands of all these Editors who say Move published Foam's account of what he calls his Dail in me. " I am, Sir, ' , oar most obedient end most humble infitli, " WM. COBBETT." Thera is, I am told, one Fuson, irks hasps, home and written sad published a book, abasing ads country audits Park in ike g t issaaner. I only hear of it by letter. I hear also that he speaks of me as if he knew me. I will tell yea how far be knew me: I live at a country-house twenty miles from New York. One morning in the auamerlof 1817. a young man cams lota tho hell, and in trodurod himself to mu under the name of Fee ron. The followin g I find about him in my Jour nal :—" A Mr. l.uron came this morning sod had breakfast with as.—Told es en 01,1 story about his being an envoy from a host of families In London, to look oaf . for a place of settlement in America—but he took optcial OMR not (0 name soy anon( those families, though we asked him to do it. We took him, at first, fora sort of spy William thinks he is a shopkeeper's clerk ; I think he has been a tailor. I observed that be carried his ethos, close to his sides, and his arms, below the elbow in a horizontal positiou. It raw. out that he hail been with Burman, Castlereagh's Consul at Now York; bat it is ton ridiculous—such a thing as this cannot be a spy—ho can get access no where bet to taverns and boarding.hoeses." The note now steads In my Journal or Diary ttd August 1817. I remember that he asked some very silly questions about the prices of land, cattle end other things, which I answered very shortly. Be asked my advice about the families emigrifting, and the very words I uttered In answer, were these:— " Every thing I can say, in such a case, is to die. courage the enterprise. If Englishmen come here, let them come individually, sod sit down amongst the natives ; no other plan is rational." What I have heard of this man since, is, that he spent his time, or great pert of it, in New York. among the idle and dissolute young Englishman, whose laziness and estravapare had pet them in a stets on make them lousy, and to wake them unno ticed by respectable people. That country must be bad, to be sure, whleh could not give them ease and abandons, without labour or earterravy. Now, what can sash a man know of Auverieel— Ho has not kept house; he has had so being in any egiiisbeerbeed ; be has never had say circle of ac. getaiataiscee sweeps the People ; be has beam a guest Geier say of their roofs ; he knows nothing of their manners or their characters ; and hew can well a man be a josigre of the elects of their instils doss, civil, political, or religiose I have no doubt, however, that the Reviews and Newspapers, in the pay of the Borooghesongers will do their beet to propagate the falsehoods contained in this man's book. Bet what would you say of the People of America. if they were to elect to believe what the French General said of the People of En gland f This man, in a book which he published in France said, that all the English married women got drersiland mere like troopers ; and that all the yoong women were strumpets, and that the greater pert of thew had bastard, before they were married. Now, if the People Americo were to street to believe this, what would we say of those ? Yet, this is just es true as this Fearoe's accooot of the People of America. As to the facts of this wian's vigil to we, my soo William, who is, by this tine, in Land/ba i t:snood will Tench for their truth at any time, and if necessary, to Faeroe's face, if loam has• face which he dares show. Since writing the above, the New York Papers have brought me a specimen of Mr. Fearon's per formance. I shall easy notice his account of his gide to me. It is in the following words:— " A VISIT co Ma. Coascrv.—Upon arriving at Mr. Cobbett's gate, my feelings, in walking along the path which led to the residence of this celebrated men, are difficult to describe. The idea of a perms, imlf-honialsed, leading an isolated life in a foreign path rarely trod, fences its restos, the tees &skew, e house mouldering to decay, added to much awkwardeess ow my part, calling opon as entire stranger, produced in my mind feelings of thought 'alma and owialiehely.
