Mr. STU RCN next came forward. IVhen he had the pleasure of mertiog them the day before, he had expressed his entire confidence of final success, He had now to congratulate them, that the battle had been fought, and the victory gained. They defeated the Court Candidate, supported by all the inYluein:e of a corrupt and profligate Administra tion; and they had maintained the high and inde pendent character they bad earned in 1807, by (+ousting two men of inflexible integrity, and us fit, from zeal anti ability, as any in the British empire to represent them iu Parliament. The men whom they had elected would endeavour to procure the Reform in the House of Commons which had been so long wanted ; and they would both, no doubt, retorts to them with the hearth It consciousness that they hid served their Constituents faithfully and zealously, and that they had not done their own business, bat that of their Constituents. He knew it was their desire that the names of Burdett amid Romilly should be long connected in %Vest 11l i l istsr, as those of the friends of freedom and humanity. They had gained a great victory ; but Ire hoped they would use it with moderation. lie (Mr. Store's) had done all he could to oppose Sir M. Maxwell, while he lease tool of the Moister.; but he firmly believed that in his private character he was an honourable matt, and in his profession a good sea. man. He believed also, that Sir M. Maxwell was now sorry that Lord Castlereagh had uo better ser vice to place him on than that of appearing before them. He hoped the gallant Captain had now taken leave of them for ever; and he *jibed him all the success he deserved in his own honourable profession. They hail done honour to themselves during the Election, by maintaining regularity and good order, opposed to the friends of anarchy and confusion--(PoiNting towards Huat)—and he hoped they would maintain that high character. Mr. EhLts here said a few word., but owing to the crowd, and the inconvenient place in which we were situated, we could but bear a syllable he said. Mr. RICHARDSON congratulated them, in behalf of Sir F. Buidett's friends, that they had chosett two men who would serve them zealously in Par- I.:talent. Mr. Richardson, however, seemed some what chagrined that Sir F. Burdett was not at the head of the poll ; and complained that 2,0110 votes had heen split between Rossiilly and Maxwell, and not 600 between Rotnilly and Burdett. Neverthe less, but for the virulence of Government, they would have had Burdett the highest on the pull. As for Sir M. Maxwell, l►e really pitied him, for he had no doubt lie would sooner have been shot at on his 0.111 quarter-deck than pelted with mud there. That was not, however, dune by them, but by a mob lured to inju►e Sir F. Burdett's cause. Government ought, in his opinion, well to reward Sir M. MaxweH. He concluded by recommend ing that, after their departure from that place, they should behave themselves so as not to give their euemies a pretext for calliog out the military. Mr. Mtn. then went .., amidst frequent inter ruptions, the application of epithets which it is unnecessary to repeat. lie void, that when Sir S. Komilly alluded to the confidence which had been reposed in I ' by the people in IVesttninster, they forgot that he was casting a *lignite uposiSir F.

For hits own part lie was willing to confess that he had been defeated, but lie was not subdued.—( Cheers and hisses.)—lt was true that lie was at the bottom of the poll, but lie should be able to light agaiii; they had beaten I • , but they had nut driven lion out of the field.

He had got a cairiage to take house his flag, Irt those who chose attack it. Mr. GALL JON ts then came forward, and was received with partial applaubes. Fur one, lie felt peculiar satisfaction in beholding the spectacle which was presented this day to the Electors of Westminster, and lie was glad to communicate his satisfaction to them, and the grounds on which lie felt it. With peculiar pride and pleasure lie wit nessed the spectacle of a Representative of this great City coming forward manfully, and laying to Ins Constituents that proper tribute of respect which lie owed to them, and stating fairly the claims which he had to their support, by laying &ova the principles by which he meant to regulate his future conduct. For himself (Mr. J.) lie must say, that lie should be wanting in personal gratitude, as well as public feeling, if Ire did nut come forward this day, and declare that he rejoiced eitceed ingly at the success of Sir Samuel Romilly.— The question this day .was not with respect to what might have been thought at the commence ment of the Election, but through what medium the good had been accomplished, which was now at tained. To Sir Samuel Romilly he (Mr. J.) owed personal obligations for the manly efforts he had made for reforming the criminal jurisprudence of the country, and for his unwearied exertions in the cause of humanity. But the principal 'circumstance which called for his (Mr.J.'s) grateful acknowledg ineuts was, that Sir Samuel Roroilly had come forward personally before his Constituents; and there was the difference between that Honourable Gentleman and the other successful Candidate, ■nd that lie delivered his thanks by his own mouth, whilst the other spoke to the Electors by proxy.— (Applause/. mixed with some disapprobation. )—Sir Samuel Romilly had indeed gained a proud and enviable tumulili, and his friends had reason to re member it to the latest hour of their lives.— (tip plaase.)—He would illustrate his meaning by a joke.—[Here loud acclamations were made in fa vour of Sir F. Burdett.]—He attributed this effer vescence on the part of some individuals, not to any sincere feeling for the cause of Sir F. Burdett, but to the inspiration of liquor. — (Great disapprobition.) The triumph of the Hon. Baronet this day was by no means a proud and enviable triumph. Indeed the friends of the Hos. Baronet seemed a little sulky to-day. They no longer talked in that proud amid triumphant language which marked the early part of the pitceedings. The truth was that Sir Francis Burdett had done nothing, if lie was not at the head of the poll. His political character wet gone. un less he was the first on the list of victory. His friends had done every thing they could—they had made every exertion within their power, and the result was, that the Bruins crops must be concealed under a wig. —(Hines, with some laughter.).—The event of this contest mutt afford au important les son to the Electors of Westminster, and certainly no triumph to Sir Francis. The answer of the Hon. Baronet to the letter sent hint could not fail of beim , recollected ; the Hon. Baronet arid lie would have nothing to do with the Elector. of Westminster—now he (Mr. J.) took it for granted that every man must agree with him, that that which was not worth asking for could be but of little value. There was this difference between Sir Samuel Hominy and Sir Francis Burdett, that though the former kept himself aloof diming the Election, yet when the contest was over, he had dune himself en honour by placing himself in the situation in which he appeared to-day, and had done himself infinite credit, and had done justice to the Electors, by having the common gratitude and po liteness of returning thanks to his constituents in per *on ; but it did not augur favourably for the exer tions of those who stepped forward by proxy, to ad vocate the cause of the other Candidate. The Elec tors had been informed what Sir S. Romilly had performed. mid meant to perform, but not one of the advocates of the lion. Baronet had told them what acts he had performed, or intended to per form, to merit the eatfrage of the Electors.—(" We know what they are without telling us," cried several voices.—Au individual on the hustings said,— " Speak honestly, Mr. Jones.") He had been told that he ought to speak honestly of Sir Francis Bur dett. That was certainly his inteution, and he felt that he should act the part of a hypocrite if lie were to use the language of flattery on the present occasion. If others had come forward to speak as he did, they might be truly said to speak honestly and cautlidly. The most sanguine of Sir Francis's friends could nut call the result of this contest a triumph, 4110 must be acknowledged by every candid person who looked to the result of the last General Election lie held in his hand a statement of the last day's poll, at the conclusion of the celebrated Election in the year eighteen hundred and seer's. — That statement would be the true touchstone of Sir Francis Burdett's character and reputation on the present occasion. The Electors would see from that how this great man had lost his influence and character; they would see how considerably he was declining in the estimation of those whom he called his peculiar partisans. In 1807 Sir F. Burdett stood at the head of the poll, and no less than three thousand a head of the Ministerial Cam &date. Contrasting his then situation with his pre sent, the nevessiry conclusion was, that the Hon. Candidate's friends must have thought lie had shuffled in his conduct, and departed from the path of rectitude, or was at least not consistent in his political conduct.—( Hisses. and other expressions (f disapprobation. )—But what conclusion w as to be drawn limn the circumstance of Sir Francis Burdett's supporting the cause of universal suffrage, when a Candidate professing the same principles was vilified by all the language of vituperaf . tt'lly, he (Mr. Jones) was obliged to conclude that it was a mere blind to delude the public, particu larly when the Him. Baronet's friends were obliged to abandon the ground they had taken. 10 a test of their political faith. He sincerely hoped, How the contest was over, that all minor bickering* and ani mosities would subside into one growl union, for the !impose of prosecuting our prii.ciples. lie l ea d from slay to slay made these observatiosis upou the merits and conduct of the several Candidates; not from an ac►insouiuus shapotitinti, lint from an impe rious sense of politic duty. I trust also that I shall always be neatly to render my poor services when ever my country calls for them. Mr. Jones thew retired amidst considerable applause, but on the • .suggestion of Mr. Unit, lie again came forward, and said, that lie Ulises vial all the II irtids of the sor thy Barlow!, who kid been so extremely assiduous during thy rebuttal, iii treating thew with pttlslte siseeclirs, now the victory was gained, and their Was nu fusilier occasion for their services, had all slunk away, and It ft their aninnirtris w she out even so much as thanking thrin fur the la oul)ie they had been at.—( h/isses.

Saturday the great contest for the Representation o f th e inty of Westminster closed at three o'clock, and a little before that time Sir Samuel Romilly made his appearance on the hustings, attended by a number of his friends, among whom were hi% son, Mr. W. Smith, M.P. fur Norwich, and Sir Robert Wslsola. Mr. lIVeT mounted his railing, but was most ungraciously received, until it was announced that he meant to give tray to Sir S. Romilly, as being the successful Candidate. He said that he should be wanting its duty to himself, and in respect to_ wands Sir S. Romany, if he did not give way to him.—(Cries of " Ah, yon tarn-coat! What did won say of him behind his back?")—He had often listened to Sir S. Hominy with great delight, and he was sure they would do the same. He had stood beside him tea days on the hustings at Bris tol, mud he had filled both friends end enemies with respect and admiratinu. He understood that Sir S. Hominy would be chaired immediately after be load dour ►peaking, and that there was a hired snub to pull clown his little flag.—[Here the uproar became so violent, that the orator was obliged to retire.] Sir K.

He then said, that he hoped the Electors of West minster would preserve the high character they had obtained during this Election, and not proceed to acts of violence. The hustings were private property. They all knew that every Englishman's house was his castle ; and, to a certain degree, the hustings were his property. He, therefore, once more conjured them to conduct themselves with inodeiation. Mr. Sruitot then endeavoured to speak. fur the purpow of introducing to them Sir S.

The whole was surmounted by that of Mer cury.

A long line of carriag e s, in which were Sir Samuel's friends, richly decorated with laurels and his colours. The cavalcade being 'mate l ot!, pro ceeded amidst the most triumphant plaudits of the populace through Covent-garden, Russell-street, down Budges and Cutlierine-streets, along the Strand, to Charing Cross. An immense number of females, elegantly dress ed, and ornamented with ribband., presented them selves at the windows, and as Sir Samuel passed, they waved white handkerchief. and streamers. On the arrival of the procession opposite Carlton House it stopped, and three cheers were gives', which reverberated through the air, and were echoed back by the most powerkil and universal applause. At the house of Win. Denison, Pall Mall, the newly elected Member fur the county of Surrey, his Royal Highness the Duke of Susses, sur rounded by a number of very distinguished cha racter., presented himself at the window, and was recognised by the populace, three cheers were given ; and as the carriage of S;r Samuel passed, his Royal Higlinesa, by gesticulation, congratu lated him upon his success. Sir Samuel, in return, bowed most respectfully to his Royal Highness, and all hearts and hands instantaneously juiced is one universal burst of applause. Three cheers were given at St. Palace. The splendid cavalcade then proceeded up St. James's-street, which, we will venture to say, even when the Court was in its zenith, never before presented such a &s -play of youth, elegance, and beauty. Brookes's Club-house was the moat conspicuous. The ladies had wreaths of laurel and other appropriate deco rations. At the top of St. James's-street the car riages and populace had so iiierea.esl that it was • with oreat dif fi culty Mr. Lee, the High Constable, could procure a passage for the procession, but on its advance Sir Samuel and his friends were "gm greeted by the most flattering bursts of applause. On their arrival tit Burlington House, the omission of Lord George Cavendish, the gates flew open, Sir Samuel and his friends entered, and were re ceived by their distinguished host with eititgratula tions. A must splendid dinner was given on the occasion, at which were present a great slumber of the leading Members of the Opposition. It must be a matter of the greatest gratification to Sir Samuel and his friends when they reflect on the splendid tumours that were bestowed on him throughout the whole ceremony. Indeed, we may say in one wind, that never was mortal man so pro fusely and so judiciously covered with .• honours so bravely won." Scarcely a carriage at the wild end was to be seen which was not decorated with his trophies. FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. PARIS PAPERS. PARIg, JULY 2.

THE B RITE SI i Pit ES S. LON DON. MONDAY, JULY 6, 1818. Oa Saturday the Election terminated in Wesef minster, when Sir SAMUEL HOMILLY rod S it FRANCIS BURDETT were chosen by a large majorii y to serve as its Representatives in the ensuing Pal %. liament. For the proceedings that closed this it wresting and memorable contest, and for the pubis C honours conferred on Sir SAMCEL ROMILLY, • e loud refer to other parts of our Paper. The triumph of independevce is now complete, a far. at least, as the representation of the Metre . polis in Parliament is concerned. The eight 11em . .bers delegated to represent the feelings and lac tect the interests of the most populous, intelligent; and wealthy portion of the empire, are men pledge d by their past conduct, or by their solemn engage - melds, to pursue a line of policy free from tl e trammels of power, and may be expected to 'noir, on every future occasion, superior to the StARCIiOI • of courtly intrigue, or the terrors of minister' tl authority. The Electors have gone even Lathe r, arid by rejecting those Candidates who, as Met a lters of the late Porliainent. sacrificed the dear. at interests of the country to gratify the vanity or t be ambition of Ministers, have testified in the m: at emphatic manner their detestation of the itieusu: rs pursued by the present Government. This its. t. stout, too, it must be remembered, has been pr flounced in the very seat of Government, where t be influence of the Conit was most capable of peri.eii ing the opinions and conduct of the Eleetora. It has beets pronounced its the midst of the retainers of Nlinisters aunt cniuisterial men, iii oppo:'nun is their most strenuous exertions, and these not If strained by any scrupulous regard for regularity or delicacy. It has been pronounced, too, let it 'lever be forgotten, in the very seat of iiitelhgence, and on the very theatre where Ministers and their late subservient Parliameut enacted all threw acetic., which now awaken the voice of indignatiun slat hatred in every part of the Empire, and conse quently in the place most capable of formeg (V , '" rect opinions of public measures. We trust the consideration will sink deep into the minds of the people in general, and teach the most rtil,ctisq; part of theta to appreciate fairly those AL:toter ageing whom the public voice has never to be unequivocally expressed in every part of tl R. country, wherever an opportunity Iwo been pre sented. No man has been heard to utter a word in their favour, hut such as they have loaded with benefits: and though this comineutlation has been partial and timid, no man could verituT ur the expression of it, but with the hazard I his life.
