They fought with swords iii the Buis de Boulogne. It is reported in Berlin, that the recal of M. de Kotzebue to Russia was caused by his indiscret►on in asserting his Journal " that the Meinotie of M. Stourdza was official." This Memoir having excited an universal dissatisfaction in Germany, the Russian Government has thought proper to disavow M. de Kotzebue's assertion, but this State Couto stellar has the promise of obtaining a new sphere of activity in his native country, Est lionia.

SATURDAY, FEBRUARY O. SEVENTH DAY. At the dose of the pull this cloy the numbers Were— Hon. G. Lamb. EMI J. C. Hobhuisse, Ea/ Major Cartwright 37 The polling, as the numbers annoutice, continued this day decidedly in favour of Mr. Lamb. The friends of the respective Candidate• were extremely active, and Sir Francis Burdett tool Mr. noblionse 'Mewled no less than rooter different Alertiogs in the course of this day in ‘Vestininster, and exhorted the district Committees to he on the alert in bring ing up a phalanx of voter., on M lay next. The ladies of rank at the we►t end of the town cautioned their canvass with so much activity for Mr. Lamb, that, as our reader will find, Sir Franciv Burdett, u• Ins speech front the hustings, forgot, in his electioneering zeal, the gallentry which we are per suaded no man would be inure anxious than him self to pay to the fai► sex, and denounced their " false civilities . ' as degrading to the Electors of Weonittooter. The crowd at the close of the day exceeded any thing we ever witnessed—it was im mense. There wa►, however, no orator in front of the hustings to command the attention and excite the merriment of the multitude, and the placards, both written and piloted, which were occasionally held up, were utterly deficient in either point or humour. Some of then► allnded to the raising of the mietistet ial supporters, on hers to "red wln►kers," and some again to the " Shame of IVltig rine. ;" but they were all dull, and wholly lova ',title oh' tickling any our of the crowd sotto a laugh.

The poll board having Ikeio hung up in the usual pl-ce iu front of the hustings, and the time having arrived when the Candidates are its the habit of snaking their addresses. it was expected that silence would hove been in some degree obtained, but this ex pectation was not realised. M►. HOIHOUa in vain made several efforts to obtain a hearing. Hut the instant the word " Gen tlemen" escaped his lips, till wa% chaos. The cry then was, " They are Lamb's hired puny !"

The Whig Candidate says, he appeals to the tradesmen, of Westminster; I ask him *writs, and I also► beg of you to ask him, if he is not brought forward by the Aristocracy of Westminster? I desire of you to ask him, if he is not brought up here by a few individuals of rank to prop up the fallen fortunes of his despicable party? I ask you, if it is not notorious that Ilse Candidate now before you lass been presented 16 your choice, solely because it has been determined by a certain proportion of the higher orders. that the tradesmen of Westminster alien not nominate to is ftilt men of their owii principles ? 1 know the Whigs give a scurvy name to some of the Electors of Westminster—they call them the Ramp- - but that despised set to Whom this designation is given consist of no fewer than three and four h►lndred of the must respectable of your fellois-citisens.— I can tell you what your opponents think of decent tradesmen, with srl they now condescend to shake hands. One of Mr. Lamb's own Committee said to him, " I hive been just shaking hands with these blackguards for you." They, in fact, take every pities, they do every thing to make you ap pear a separate end distinct class. They call you a rabble, it multitude, a mob, and want to make you appear in the eyes of your country a distinct and dropisrd class. The IVhigs never call them selves the friends of the people until they want to get something out of the people. They tell you when you speak nut your opinions, that they are wild, visionary, and Poll of anarchy and disorder. These are the derignations your remonstrances get when they are presented to the State. [(you chouse a Whig, although he will be obliged to preserve a certain decency of appearance towards his consti tuetits, yet you'll still hear nothing front lain► but what lie holds iii common edit his party.

I put no part of the strength of this centest in myself. Mr. Latub may be iu some respects a better Itepisrientative for you ; but I say this, that were he ten times inure worthy lieu he is, and I ten times leas worthy than my opponents may please to think toe, still I say, that being a man pushed for ward by the Whigs and the Aristocracy, he can't be a men in slay artist chosen by the free choice of the independent Electors of Westminster.

Mr. HUNT came forward, arid almost for the first time all his notable esp►edient► felled to obtain any thing like an adequate hearing Fu► him. The uproar still continued, ss iii such a voice as filled 4lir earth end air," and its vain Mr. Hunt stood un covered, maks.% familiar nod► and gestures to the iruturuse crowd before him. " 0 !" said he. " this is a titre struggle—a very line struggle between the ins and owe. So you'll hear nobody, vole% you? 11'0, 1 can't help it—l'd be a fool indeed to-day to expect a bearing, after the reception you have given Mr. Hobbouse, not one word of witose speech could I hear." As Mr. Hunt had uttered this sentence. he was struck w untie part of the body with a lump of mild, thrown by some idle fellow in the crowd, to ray the least of him, but when it fell from lac► upou the board rat which he ►tood, it was found to con tains a MBAR flint stone, which was ituurediately handed to Mr. /lent, who held it up and said, with much apparent humour, " Who is the clever fel low that threw this ? —A pretty friend of any Candi date he must be.—ls this his u►ite to the poll ? —Let ate tell him ilia stoner are not words." [The uproar which partially subsided from, we pre. suu►e, the proper thenicheation of the crowd to sanction the stone-throwing act, was again m inuted, and Mr. Hunt could ouly be beard by those who were immediately near Lim.] " Why," said he, "do you object to hear me ?—is it because I tell truth without fee or reward I should hope that Sir Francis Burdett and Mr. Illohlsouse will take a lesson from what they have seen this day. You see others can interrupt as well as their friends; they may hire persons to come here to interrupt us, but the people of Westminster come here volun tarily to interrupt them.-14 ergo,'" NO.— Lamb's pity hat hired fifty men ut the Brown Bear."/ — No, the hiring ix all at the other side, but it is the people who come here to-day to express their in dignation at it. This is what Mr. Ili,bliouse'd Friends call the Flee/10111 of Election. It is the Rump Freedom, Gentlemen, it is the Free dom of the Rump group.—[Flere the uproar increased so much that Mr. Hunt's voice was drowned even to those who were imme diately near him.] They say I have a personal hos tility to Sir Francis Burdett and Mr. Hobbouse : No, I have no personal hostility to them, hot I hate their equivocating politics. The time has been when 1 would have laid down my life for Sir Francis Burdett, because I believed him, at the time, to he an honest political man. Now I'd rather lay clown my life than see him succeed in his career, which is to make this great and independent City a rotten borough. I find, Gentlemen, by your noise, that you are going to be wonderfully impartial to-day : however, Mr. Hobhouse's friends can't say they were alone heard to-day, for we were all, 1 believe, heard alike, with this only difference, that their party was paid for coining, and ours came, as I said before, voluntarily. I won't trespass at present any more upon your time. This is what they call freedom of election. I am not angry at your noise. Let us all fare, let us all be heard alike; I have no objection to take my share of what's going. This is not the first noise I have encountered. I have stood many a pelting, pittiless storm without fee or reward, and I sin a volunteer now to assert the rights of those who won't hear use. Some persons have been whispering about that I am a spy. This is the old trick of the parts. Yes, I am a spy ; I am a spy into the conduct of the Rump; I have spied into their concerns. They have a right, therefore, to call me • spy. But it is the old cant. When Mr. Place, of Char ing -cross, who is now at the head of their Com mittee, called Sir Francis Burdett a coward and a scoundrel, for secretly leaving the Tower, the Rump called Place a spy ; when Cohbett exposed their tricks, they called him a spy ; when Sherwin did the same, he too was a spy; and now they have found that lam one. lam not such a spy as Sir Francis Burdett was in Ireland—he was amusing himself spying the Irish girls. But where was lat that critical period ?—I was where the Hon. Baronet ought to have been—l was spying into the acts of a corrupt Government at Derby, and fur nishing the wretched Prisoners with some means fur their defence. Where was I when Dr. Watson was put upon his trial by the same corrupt Ministers I was at my post, I gave evidence fur the Doctor, exposing the spy that the Government had sent forth to du their dirty work. I was a spy upon the spy then, just as I am now a spy upon the Rump, and . assistiog to expose their nefarious practices. As r find I cannot be heard beyond those near me, I shall conclude, with hoping thut you will come down here with getter humour next Monday, for then you'll see Brooks and his thousand fresh voters. Mind, I am of no party—l don't love either the Whigs or the Tories; but Mr. Lamb is open—he speaks intelligibly, and tells you what he means ; but nobody alive can understand the other party. Good night—l'll see you again, please God, on Monday." _ Sir FRANCIS BuRDETT now stepped forward, and whether it was that the immense multitude alarm. bled had at length grown hoarse from the incessant exercise of their lungs, or whether, from the more likely influence of his personal popularity, wh►ch, like the attendant of Ulysses— 's Tha blue-ey'd Palls., his celestial fliend, (Its faro a herald) bade the crowd. attend. Tls' expecting crowds in still attentitsu hung;" and the Hon. Baronet delivered the following *peach, which was received with great applause : " Gentlemen. you have not slow to learn from me, that hissing and noise (and I am sorry that some of it came from the Gentlemen behind Mr. Lamb—sorry for it on his account rather than their own).11 say, you have not now to learn, that a few persons who are so disposed in a very large crowd, coo easily throw such obstacles in the way of a speaker, as to prevent his being generally audible to those whom he addresses. But you all know that this partial hissing is no proof of your disin clination to hear the Gentlemen who is the object of it. I have only to lament that this sort of in terruption has been given ; and to implore, if my voice can have any influence amongst you, that you will on all future occasions adopt a different course. 1 have to implore, that the immense mul titude who assemble in front of these hustings. will, whatever may be their private feelings, give a patient hearing to every person who conic* for ward to address them. To adopt the good old English maxim, I trust you will give • to every man a clear stage and no favour,' and then let every Mall judge for himself upon the merits after le has heard every thing which has been said upon the subject.—((,reut applause.)- 1 shall be short. Gentlemen, in the observations which I mean to make to you ; principally, indeed, because it is unfair to ►peak at one side, when the person upon whom I am animadverting, cannot be heard upon the other. Rut I cannot help congra tulating you ill the little accession of strength which the Whig Candidate has gained upon the day's pull. See how weak and languid have been his efforts, and recollect that he hue not spared to use all the means which have been embodied for hint to give activity to his exertions. You have heard of the contemptible effort which had beets made by inducing ladies to go about canvassing for votes, and using their influence on this occasion (and for this occasion only), to confer false civilities to promote the object of the other Candidate. You have heard of the in ducement to voters, by what Mr. Limb calls the more solid satisfaction of a breakfast, in relearn fur their votes. But notwitlissailding all there paltry artifices. they will still find that though some por tion of the Electors of Westminster ale so cun tetuptible as to be made the duper of these tricks, or are so unfortunately situated as to he in no con dition to resist them, still enough of •Electors will be found to designate this AVlsig or Tory Candidate. or rather Coalition Comlidate, for that should lie hie name, in the manner he deserves, end to Phew lain soil his party that you have too high a sense of character to be corrupted or isitisuidated by ouch threats and designs, and hind you will not be paid for your less of honour by a bseekfast, or sell for " a mess of mirage your itilieritance."— It is said that there is more solid satisfaction in bieskfa-t theta in fallowing music %lid a flag. The satisfaction which the one imparts is a mental our, and gives rise to honest sent iinesit—thist el the other is contioied to the mere selfish eritilicalino of the appetite at the moment—the g• is his breakfast as the wages of his iniquity. But the misfortune is. that this slavery is such a degradation, it is of so humiliating a cast, that the slave cannot eat his pudding Slid then hold his tongue. No, his tongue must be prostituted to the utterance of sentiments which his heart whims. and he is obliged to cons. mit per jury iu the face of his country'.—( Applause. —I beg of you to coosider that every vote which is extorted by terror or it.fluence, or in any other manner than by the honest bias ofyourown opinions, is a treason committed in the face of your country, and a perjury in the rye of your God. I have no doubt but that the hulk of the Electors of West minster will not permit such a angina to be cast upon them: I have gm doubt but they will control. plate this portentous monster, which wants to swat. low them, joist as it ought to be contemplated. It is an animal shockingly distorted—it to an animal composed of most discordant parts, and which stems to be actuated by no particular prisiciples, toot even will the strange compound of its original foundation satisfy its makers. They have, even since they took up the cause, improved upon its shape—they have willingly taken up in their aid all the filth and scum of this great town—they have, as you have seen, made alliance with that which $6 so base and contemptible that I can give it un same. —(Applause.)—You have this day seen the Whig Candidate standing on and addressing you from the same board on which the person stood who with me *hall be nameless. Surely this monstrous alliance of Court mid Whig, and possum' of this deserip. Lion, can have too affinity in principle, holiest prin ciple, of any kind.—(Cries of, " No, no.") — This strange anomalous monster has more heads than the hydra—its centre is a simple lamb's head —(Laughter)—shaved so close as to require a wig (a Whig) to cover it ; and shaved so clime, too, by the honest Westminster barber.—( Lord laughter and applause.)—'Phis lamb's head has two faces, one of them black, the other white. Theis you have that strange anomalous mounter (pointing to Mr. Hunt), whose front is of brass, whose tongue, though composed of the vetion of the asp, lies yet, not like the asp, the faculty of stinging tits). thing but itself.--(Load applause.)—You have then a 51iiiisteial :lead to crown this Cerbeinin moister. It has a front of terror, in whose eye dwells cruelly, end in whose mouth corruption only hatigs.*-(.4p plouse.)—l sin sorry to have to add another feature to this portentous monster—peeping from under its distorted bulk, is a head of false patriotism—it is an empty head—(4 laugh)—and what is mauve!. lous. it has been told me that this head is a strik ing likeness of Mr. Alderman Wood, who has been met canvassing this day fur Mr. Lamb.—(Cries of " Shame!")—Here is a personification of an unien of all interests, against the interests of the people. Portentous und hideous as this monster is, and pos sessed as I told you al such multiple and various heads, and such distorted limbs and features, there is still a Hercules that can lay this monster sprawling at your feet. I trust and hope that that Hercules will he found in die spirit of the Electors of Westminster, and if that spirit be roused, as on a former occasion, there can be no doubt, not -ally of our complete success, but also of our obtaibing a triumph which I venture to say will be greater than was ever had on any former occasion in Westminster. I shall nut take up any snore of your time at this moment. Time is pre. cious, and this is the time of action, and lint of words. I hope therefore that all of you here who • are electors will go home, and each earl cue his par inmates influence among his neighbours, to put them against the contemptible tricks of a pony, paltry Aristocracy, which is arrayed in vain against the Democracy of Englishmen. I hope no man will be gulled with the false civilities of quivassing visitors, or will he induced to partake of the treats given by persons of rank, where the bread lie eats will here. after be a reproach to his conscience for the meal auto which he ass betrayed by his ignorance ur cre dulity. Surely Englishmen, anal such Englishintu too as the electors of 11restiuinster. will never dust sway their first privilege, that of giving a free vote fur the election of their Representatives, fur so meson, so vile. so contemptible a gratification as that of breakfasting with people of this cast, who make tools of them to promote their ohject. I take leave agam to implore of the Electors, that wilco we next meet, they will give to all, without refer titre to the particular feelings of hostility which they may have towards 'my individmil. a patient besting. You owe this to them, and above all to the integrity and indrpeadence of your own pro ceedings. I also implore that you will be on the alert for the maintenance of your own rights, moil that on Monday you will appear at the poll with all your friends and acquaintances."—(Great up ' plasm.)
