A favourite monosyllable with the Right Ho nouiable Author. WNITJS. (Contimied from Saturday.) 'ln the very outset, you reap,a considerable ad vantage, either from his acceptance or refusal- , What a copious subject of ostentation ! what rich colours to the public: your zeal to restore tran qui'oty to the cit y .—The sacrifice of all personal recol,etions in faVour of a roan whose general chma:ter you esteem; the public good preferred to .every private or interested consideration, with along et cagero to your own advantage.—Yet I dO .not Mean to persuade you to so. 'simple a part as that of contributing to gratiry Mr. Sa..-.7bridge,. without a reciprocal assurance from him, that up o i fair and honor able occasions he xvill -in return promote your advantage,- , -Your own judgment wilt easily suggest to you such terms of acknow ledgment as may he binding upon him -in point of gratitude, and not offensive to his delicacy.—l have not entered into:the consideration of any ob jections drawn from the fertile field of provocation 'and resentment'—Common men are influenced by Co union motives ; but you, Sir, that pretend to lead the people, must act upon higher principles. To make our' passions subservient' to you, you must command your own. The man, who for any personal indulgence ‘vhatsoever, can sacrifice a great purpose to a little one, is not qualified for the manageinent 'of great affairs, Let me suppose then that every material . diffi- Cult& on your part is ttmoved ; and that, as far as you alone are concerned, you would be ready to anopt the plan I propose to you. If you are a man of honour, you will still have a powerful Objection to oppose to me. Admitting the apparent advantage to your own purposes, and to the cause you are engaged in, you will tell inc • that you are •no longerat liberty tochuse : that the desertion of those persons who once pttsi,esF.ed at warm attachincmt to you, has reduced you to a Situation in which you • cannot do that which is absolutely best; —that Mr. Crosby has deserved every thing from you, and from the city,' and that you stand engaged to contribute your whole strength to continue him another year in his mayoralty.' My reply to this veryitistobaection is addressed - rather to Mr. Crosby rather - than to: Mr. Wilkes. He ouglot at all events to be. satiS fied ; and if I . cannot bring him over to my opi nion,' there is an end of the argument ; for I do agree with you most heartily, that it is as gross a breach of policy as of morals, to sacrifice the man who has deserved well of us to any temporary he ue fit whatsoever.' Far from meaning to separate you from Mi. Crosby: it is essential to the measure that I re . commend; that it should be your joint act. Nay, it is he who in 'the first instance should open the communication with Mr. Sawbridge; "nor is it possible for you to gain any credit by the - measure in which he will not of necessity be a considerable sharer. But now, for considerations which im raediately affect Mr. Crosby. Your plan,*as I am informed, is to engage the livery to return him with Mr. Bridgen.- , --In my own opinion th , . Court ,of. Aldermen will choose 'Bridgen, consequently the sacrifice I require of .Mr. Crosby would in effect be nothing. -That lie evill be defeated is to my judgment inevitable. It is for him to consider whether the idea of a de feA,be not always attended with some - loss of re ' potation. In that case too he will have forced upon the citizens (whoria r he professes to love and .respect)' a magistrate, upon whose odious- and .contemptible character he at present founds his -,only hopes of success. • Do you think that the city will.not once in the course of a twelvemonth ...be -sensible of the displeasure, you have done thetit ? Or that it will not be placed in strong terms to your ;wow - A. 1 appeal to Miss Willies, whose judgment , highly commended,—would she think herseittiCir indebted to her favonrite 'ad roire, if .iiirfOrted a' most disagreeable partner upon her - for a long 'winter's night, because he could no - 'Clitocowith her himself. ou will how say ; —' Sir, we understand the . , poli;lea.of the city better titan you. do, .and are . • At_. 'Sr LONDON Printed by THOMAS 'At the Swx OVFI. well assured that ear. Crosby will be' chosen Lord Mayor ;- , j-otherWise we allow that .upon , your plan he might acquire credit without forfeiting any real advantage.' Upon this ground'l expect you, for I confess it is incumbent upon me to meet your argument, where it lies strongest against me.4-Taking it ! for granted, then, that Mr. CroS by may be Lord Mayor, I affirm that it is . not his interest,.because it is not his greatest interest.— The.little profit of the salary cannot possibly be in contemplation with him.-4 do not doubt that he would rather ,make it an expensive office to himself. His view must be directed then to the flattering distinction of succeeding to a second, mayoralty, and, what is still more honourable,,to • the being thought worthy of it byThis . fellow citizens.---Placing_ this advantage in its strongest light, I say that every purpose of distinction is aS completely answered by his being known to have had the employment in his power, (which may be %via. insisted upon inargurnent, and never can be disproved by the fact) as by his accepting it.—To this I add the signal credit he 'will acquire with every honest man by renouncing, upon motives of the clearest and most disinterested public spirit, a personal honour, which you may fairly tell the world was unquestionably withui his reach.— But these arc trifles.--I assert, that by now ac cepting the mayoralty (which he may take here after whenever he pleases) he precludes himself from soliciting, with any colour of decency, a real and solid reward from the city.--I mean that he should be returned for London in the next Parliament.--I think his conduct entitles him to it, and that he cannot fail of succeeding if he does not furnish his opponents with too just a pretence for saying that the city have already rewarded him. On the contrary, with what force and truth may he .tell his . fellow-citizens at the next eke tion, for your sakes I relinqUished the honour yod intended me. The common good required: it. But I did not mean to renounce _my hopes that upon a proper occasion you would hour with a public mark or your . approbation.' You see I sdo not insist upon the good effects of Mr. Sawhridge's gratitude, yet'.l am sine it may be depended upon. Ido not say that he is • a man to go all lengths with Mr. Wilkes; but . you may be assured that it is not danger that will deter him, and that wherever you have the. voice of the people with you, he will, upon prin ciple,Aupport their choice at the hazard of his life • and fortune. Now, Sir, supposing all objections are removed, and that you and - Mr. Crosby are. agreed, the question is in what manner is the business. to. be opened to 2,1. r: Sawbridge. Upon this point too I shall oifer you my opinion, because the ,plan of this letter-would not otherwise. be complete.—At the same titnel do very . turaffectedly submit my self to your jodgment., I would have my Lord Mayor begin by desir ing a private interview between him, Mr. Crosby and yourself. Very little preface will be neces sary. You. have a man to deal with who is too honourable to take an unfair 'advantage of you. With such a man you gain every thing by frank ness and candour, and hazard nothing by the coil- Hence you repose m, him.—Notwithstanding any passages in this letter I would chew him the whole of it ‘; in a great business there is nothing so fa tal as Cunning management , ;—and I would tell him it contained the plan upon which Mt. Crosby and you were desirous to act, provided he would engage to concur in it bona fide, tio far forth as he was concerned. There is one condition I own which appears to me a sine qua non ; and yet I do ,not see how it can be proposed in terms unless his own good sense suggests the necessity of it to him—l mean the total and absolute renunciation of Mr. Horne. It 'is very likely indeed, that this gentleman may do the-business for himself, either by laying aside the masque at once, or by abusing Mr.. Sawbridge for accepting the mayoralty upon -any terms whatsoever Of accommodation with Mr. Wilkes. This letter, Sir, is not intended for a correct or polished composition ; but it contains the very heat of Junius's understanding. Do not treat me so unworthily, or rather do not degrade yourself so much,' as to suspect me of any interested view to Mr. Sawbridge's particular advantage. By all that's honourable 1 mean nothing but the cause; and n►ay defy your keenest penetration to assign any - satisfactory reason why Junius, \Time - rer he be, should have a personal , interest in 'giving the Mayoralty to Mr. Sawbridge, rather than to Mr. Crosby. 1 am .heartily weary_ of writing, and shall re serve anothersuliject,,on which I. mean to address you, for another opportuuity--1 think that this letter, if you act upon it, should be a secret to every body but Mr. 'Sawbridge and my Lord Mayor.

SCARLET moved for an information in the nature of a quo warranto,•to be'd'rected to Mr. S. Bridges, calling on him to shew by what right he had usarped the office 'of Mayor of the Borough of Colchester. That Borough is regulated by two Charters ; One };ranted in the beginning of the pre-- sent reign, and the other. in that' of one of the Charle's. ,The Burgesses choose two persons and return them to the-Mayor ;lila .":.Idermen, who se lect one of the two to fill the ofilee of Mayor for the following year. By the charters, alt persons who were common brewers, dr who received any reward or allowance tram another were prohibited from voting in any of the acts of the COrnoration. At the last election for Mayor there were three candidates, Mr. SMith, Mr. Sparling, and Mr. Bridges ; -and on a - shew of bands, the- nomina tion fell on Mr. Smith and Mr. Sparling ; but a 'poll biting demanded by Mr. Bridges, and having gone on for some time, the, Mayor asked.Mr.'Spar ling whether he had -qualified himself for the office by taking tbe sacrament within the last year. Being answered in the negative, he - then informed the Burgesses that the votes of ail those who had polled for Mr. Sparling must be thrown away without giving theat an opportunity to set up' and poll for ally other persons than the candi dates before nathecL At the close of the poll, the Mayor, haying declared' Mr. Snarling ineligible, returned Mr. Smith and Mr. 'Bridges,' though Mr. Spading had a considerable majority over the lat ter, and the election fell on Mr. Bridges. There was also anocher objection to Air. Bridge's elec tion,--one of the aldermen who ,bad voted for bitit was a common brewer,- and another received a sa lary from the distributor stamps.—Rule to shew cause- granteii EDINBURGH, Nov. 17. The Court of Session met on Thursday last - for the despatch of business: All the Judges were in Court, except Lords Craig, Armadale, and Ito ber4on. The outer-house has undergone some material alteration. The old window at the south end has been removed, and an enlarged Venetian window substituted in its place, which throws great additional light on this elegant hall. A niche has been formed behind the Lord Ordinary's chair, at the north end of the outer-house, which, we tm- derstand . , is - intended " for a statue of 'the late Lord Melville.

The attendance was numerous. The business of the meeting was opened by the Archdeacon, and a Petition to both houses 'of ParliaMent unani- ntously agreed upon, expressive of their opinion that further concessions could not be granted to the Catholics, consistently win the security of the spiritual and temporal establishments in these .realn►s : that to the House of Commons to be presented by the Members for the County—that to the House of Lords, by the Bishop of the Dio cese.—There w%tre no speeches of any importance, though many were expected. Several Petition►s were framed, and one even engrossed ; -rand be tween the several candidates some entertainment was expected ; but the Archdeacon unexpectedly produced the sketch of a Petition, which was -very much admired, as being mild, yet mahly— moderate, yet conclusive,--and the rest were never inquired after or further thought of. THE BULL-RUNNING. -- It will be !gratifying to many " town-born" readers of our Paper, who are at prekteut removed from the scenes of their boyish days, to hear that the Bull-running day here, last Saturday, yielded extraordinary sport, and that the bull was the best that has been sup plied for this carnival these many years.

The defendant then said he did not consider what took place in Ireland as a legal marriage, as ke denied being a Roman Catholic. The - defendant was fhlly committed for trial, and- the parties bound over to prosecute at the next assizes for the County of Surrey.
