f VINDICATION of a GIIEAT LAW MACE TO TUC EDITOR OF Tun SUN. Stii, , llaring now waited three weeks relyin` on the well-known justice and impartiality at the Morning Chronicle, London Newspaper, to rescue, my character from the scandal with Which its unfounded assertions had overwhelmed me, I aft determined through -.your columns, which arc much liked here, at length to do myself ,justice• though more in the habit of doing justice to others. Party manoeuvres are, perhaps, all very fair in the way of trade ; hut when it is considered that lam an Officer under the Crown, and so gravely connected with the administration of the laws, I am 'litre you will agree that I was not a proper per. son to l'ave my name brought into question for a silly hoax. Let these would-be geniuses scribble away as much as they please in their own shapes to defame our Governors, and get their friends into place ; but do not let them say that there ate any respectable individuals, like myself, to go along with theM in . their. wicked designs. Sir, in a pretended.report , of a Public Meeting at this place on the 4th inst. the Morning Chro. nide falsely affirms that I seconded a motion made by my Worthy Friend, Mr. John Chamberlain'', upon which a long debate , ensued. Now it is well known ibat at Every Public Meeting at this !dace, where I have found it my duty to appear upon the platform, my arguments have been so Conclusive that no further discuSsina ever took pluce ; and as for this Assembly of the 4th, it not only did not happen, but I was not there ! Of coarse it is not true, as stated in the Chronicle, that " Mr. Chamberlaine concluded a speech of some length, by proposing, That a subscriutiou be entered into to alleviate the distresses likely to in. crease during the ensuing winter--and which were to be attributed to the rapid change from a state of war to that of peace.'--Or that Mr. Samuel Butroughs seconded the motion. But he did not see any reason for all that gloom which the wicked were attempting to throw over the country.. It -was 'only the idle and the dissolute, the heirs ap• parent to the gallows, from whom all these fore bodings sprang: . There may, for once, he truth In what this Journal has put into my mouth, but for the res. son&, above stated it is clear that it did not proceed from my lips, whatever it might have to tto with the conscience of the Writer. Besides, it is not in the brief way that I use :—the forger allows me half 'a dozen of lines, whereas it is notorious that I would not use more than ona for him or for any of his, purposes. r ant grieved that, when informed at thi s , the 411orning Chronicle dirt not contradict its state ment, disabuse the Public, and exonerate me ; tout the more so as I am (since my salary was re• fatett to be raistull a little bit of itt own way of thinking on the subject of Reform. Rut lam it practical Reformer, and not a wild speculator. I have seen the conv►eniency of changing from the Olt? Drop to the New, and after much experience cases. of imprisonatent, whipping, pillory, and transportation, without producing any good, I tm a fairly say that half an hour's suspension, being a radical reform, puts au end to every conoitu. Copal evil. I hove confessed this much of my opinions, to spew that I bear no animosity to the Writer who has 30 cruelly belied me. On the contrary, let him only do the right thing by me, and r will at *ll time% be harpy to do the fair thing by him or any of his frie►►ds. /r►tmble though I be, I !kill prove that Tarn not unmindful ot the obligation, and as tEe Mouse told the Lirm in the table. there is no creature so lowly but lie may by some chance Itavelt in his power to slew Ms bratitude to the most exalted'. !loping y►►►► Wit! do me the favour to insert this Joel., I ain, Sir, &c. &c. &c. Claster, Oct. 24. SAM. BLIIII.OUGIA C. 11. C. Note.—We cannot refuse insertion to so tem perate a letter as this of Mr. Burroughs, who fills, as we are informed, with high credit to himself, the important office of Common Hangman of Chester, which we suppose the capitals after his 'signature are meant to express. The absurd Re port of a Meeting which never took place, was Dot perhaps the most exquisitively ludicrous cir •ettumatice connected with this hoax. The pa triotic !tatting remarks of the Morning Chroxide— the luminous re&xious to which Mr. Burroughs' fancied harangue gave birth, were still more de lectable than the original jest. We cannot deny our Readers the ansuvement of perusing them wiih the sauce piequant of Snowing, that the' ileeting was altogether a trick and fable. *nay follow " Oar readers will see, by the account of the 'Alerting it Chester, another proof that di. time $S Past when the Pitt faction ;night insult with impunity the understanding of the nation. The toliabitatits Were convencd - for the purpose of con sidering the means of relieVing the distresse• of the poor (luring._the ensiling winter. It would naturally have been expected that the meeting at. the City of London Tavern would have been a warning to the persons who originated this meet ing, to avoid mixing up politics 'with their pre tended charity. Instead of this being the case, a Mr. Chamberlainehecan by denying, its an utter falsehood, that the distress of the country arose front places and pensions ; he then asserted that the peace was the cause of all the et'', and that we hail come out of the fire of war purified and more valuable that all who supposed the con duet of the Govvrnment bad any thing to do with the distress were evil-minded persons, and foisted in his opinion, as to the change from war to peace, into his resolution for 4 subscription. The seconder (Lc. our Correspondent, the Hangman) rose to a still higher flight; he stigmatized all who thought the prospect of the country gloOmy, as the idle, the. dissolute, the heiri apparent to the galloto.' A third speaker spoke of the transition from war to peace, and a fourth of snip. At last a gentlomm who thought the extravagance of the Govt.t nment had sonic curet on the nation, was provoked to speak, but strange to say, was it,- tempted by cries of order from the chakr ; and Mr. Chamberlaine, who had entertained the meet ing with his virulent invectives, told him they.. were not assembhd to disctiss politics ! nit was a high touch of impudence. Our readers' will see the result. ilfler thig let the Mipisterial4:ts beware how they charge the Reformers with violeare or jade ceac y. - --(Morning Chronicle)-11a ! l a ! Ha !

After the grand dinner given by the Duke of WELLINGTON, there was a ball, at which the two English Princes, remarkable for their affability, were seen stir rounded by the principal officers of the armies of occupation, and the most distinguished Ladies of their nations. The ball was suspended at mid night by a supper, for which a table of 60 covers was laid. The dancing was afterwards resumed, and continued until three o'clock in the morning.

C oVENT-GARDRN.—A Comic Interlude, called The Cfrreful 'Servant and Careless Mester, was pro ducetl. at thin Theatre last night, and i s , w e b e , neve, mitered from the French. The jokes, which are almost all practical, consist in mistNites which oecur lit consequence of the over-carefulness of the Servant (Lts'mg), through which some china is sinashed, some horse-medicine drank instead of Constanti l wine, and a hundred-pound note folded np in a letter which'retnses it to a borrower, and other incidents equally amusing. ensue. The au dience certainly did not relish this Interlude, which, in spite of the excellent acting of IlLaNctlaan, the physiognomy of LISTON, an& the eirorls of Miss FOOTR, TOMMY, and Stst . moNs, was apparently condemned for ever ; but Neu oh4erve that it was dilly equivocally destroyed, for it is announced for repetition every night thi& week.
