IJj►hn tl►is simple par:1;41.30, •tlie pretended fiIEND OF LIBERTY concludes with the follow- jog guest ion " Now; Sir, give me leave to ask those who read the above pragtarh, and who possess the sentiments a;id feelings of tuglishmen, whether they could possibly have imagined a • Vrson base enough to propagate doctrines so degrading, in 'qty newspaper published throughout the united kingdom, if The fact itself was not indisputable'" We submit to the Public whether the above Paragraph deserves the impudent abuse which the `Writer in the Times affects to cast upon lqieht pee not state that, before the last intelligence arrived from Spain, the accounts were coutredic tury ? that it was difficult to trace the real pro ceedings of the Royalists or Rebels ? Is it not Probable that there were exaggerations and sup Pressions of facts / and could we be more candid Allan to say, that it was probable that these exag terations, &c. were on " both sides ?"—Might we t jus:ifiably rely on the " loyalty of the Spanish character 7 " and is it not natural to suppose that, , after the success of French Regicides, it would be difficelc for any people " to resist the contagion of Radicalism i" But the Times is as absurd as it is rancorous. What " degrading doctrines " does the foregoing paragraph in the Sun propa- ' sate and in what consists the baseness of the Writer of it I—We have no more to say on this subject at present, consigning the Times to toter contempt and abhorrence for the general baseness of its owls conduct.—The same despicable Paper this day falls foul of .Mr. CREW, of the Ordnance Office, on the authority of a note stated by Mr. WHITBREAD, on the Hustings at Brentford, to have been written by that Gentleman in recom zoeudation of Mr. Mseetso. Is a Person, be cause he is in Office, to be denied the gratificati of his feelings in favour of a loyal Candidate, agest a Candidate who inherits an hosti lity towards the Government of the Country reading this said note, which was of course intended to be private, Mr. WHITBREAD followed the example of Mr, Iloalooss, Who read a pri vate letter from Mr. LAMB, upon the Hustings, at Covent Garden. Will either of these Gentle tnen say, that, in thus availing themselves of a breach of conhtlence they are only practising the allowable tricks of an electioneering contest ? What would be thought of such conduct among Gentlemen in private life ? Is a man, because he bolds an office under Government, to be a mere passive slave, and not to support a loyal and in dependent Candidate ? The Proprietor of the Times has a brother in an office under Government ee--bow he came there ?—how he deserved to pos.- -less it, or bow well qualified he is to retain it, may be the subject of future inquiry. Perhaps we may state the opinion of the late Mr.CHARLES Mooßa, one of the heads of that office, on the competency of that person, as ,given to the Conductor of this Paper. Perhaps this Place-bolder is still, as be formerly was, a Proprietor of the Times. At all events it is base ingratitude in the Times to be constantly- reviling that Government which ex tends its bounty to a part of the family who, from all we have ever beard, bas no kind of rea sonable claim upon its favour.—We shall take leave of the Times for the present, just observing, that we have little doubt that, proceeding upon the system to which that Paper in a great degree, at 11 former period, owed its unmerited success, it 11, u attacked Mr. CREW, because that Gentleman led not sent to it the Orslnance Advertisements. a neglect is, we are persuaded, fully suf ficient to account for all its rancour, under the *task of public spirit, anti its eagerness to avail it- Self of any opportunity to vent its spleen, disap pointment, and malevolence. HIS NIASHSTY.—The constitution of our be -I"ed Monarch continues in the happiest condi tion, and he hourly improves in strength and spi rits• His NIAYBSTY took a pedestrian airing again 411 1 the enclosed lawn yesterday.(Brighloll, ''larch 19.) The present General Election exhibits, it the country newspapers speak truly, a total disregard of a Resolution of the House of Commons against the interference of Peers in Elections, by the Coil 4IUCt of the Earl GiIEY at the Durham Election, and of Lord HARROA BY at Southampton. The Lord Sid mout h p ac k e t h a s b roug ht l etters from Rio Janeiro, of the 12th of January, which state that intelligence had reached that port of the defeat of the squadron under Lord COCHRANE, in IWO separate attacks on Callao and Lima. The advices received from thence in the Brazils were of the 12th of November. The Spartan, 46, Captain W. F. Wisa, C. 8., at PIPHOUth, is under orders to proceed to Lis "", and take on bciard Field-Marshal Lord BE se" OHD fo'r Rio Janeiro. Medicines and neces sari!s for the squadron an the South American t st ""in, ( 2 000 men), for twelve months, are to be shipped on board. The Liffey, 46, Captain EIRMalf DUNCAN, is to supply the place of the Spartan, at Plymouth, until her return. VI 1:11 11 ,11,FiLL L 15.1 • WESTMINSTER ELECTION—ELEVENTH DAY.

MIDDLESEX ELECTION.-THIRD DAY. The friends of Messrs. BYNG and IVHITBREAD made great exertions yesterday. At the close of the poll, the numbers were— Bytt Whitbi cad Iliellisb 737 BYNG, in returning thanks, spoke as usual very briefly of his patriotism and his principles, anr! requested his friends not to relax in their exertions; Mr. WHITBREAD also returned thanks. Mr. Mellish's fi ieuda, he ohs - et ved, fur the most part gave pumpers for him ; but this only ,roved the consistency of their support. On Saturday Mr. Mellish said he had avowed his principles, but he (Mr. W.) heard of none. He was a Bank Direc tor, and his principles were to vote for the Bank Restrictions, by which the Bank obtained a mil lion a year by the distribution of notes for cash payments. One circumstance proved the weak ness of M►'. M.'s cause in all quarters. This day he and his friends were put to such a push, and were run so hard, that they began ,to stir up the Agents of Government in the cause.—Mr. Whit bread produced a letter addressed to a Gentleman at the Ordnance Office, which he read as fol lows :—" Mr. Crewe presents his compliments to Mr. --, and would he obliged by his good ness in voting for Mr. M-- himself as this day, and use leis influence to bring up his friends. He ..vat , bl feel it an obligation conferred upon him stlf.—(Here the noise was great.)—Mr. Crewe will feel an additional obligation by Mr. -- fur nishing a list of the voters he can bring forward upon the resent occasion." The person's name to whom the letter was addressed should now be nameless. lie was a person who bad large contracts from Government, and it WAS thought be was obliged to ♦ote on their side ; but his independent spirit had brought him down to-day to vote for Mr. Whitbread and not for Mr. Mellish. Mr. Mawsit appeared amidst the usual uproar, and spin complained of not being beard against false accusations, and observed to the multitude that they were not acting like impartial men. It was hard, unjust, and illiberal. Mr. Whitbread here interfered for silence, but it was in vain. In allusion to that which the two other Candidates had spoken relative to not coalescing, Mr. Byng's votes were coupled with the other Candidate's, anti he was then joining his votes with Mr. W. Mr. Byng preferred Mr. Whitbread to himself, and he would leave the Freeholders to judge for themselves. He denied any knowledge of the letter produced, and expressed a confident hope that his friends would soon come up and place him in a situation in which his enemies wculd be sorry to see him. He would say no more, and save the crowd their hellowings. Mr. M. then made his bow and retired. CONTESTED ELECTIONS.-STATE OF THE POLLS• MIDDLESEX, MARCH 9.0.

EDWARD COOKE, ESCI,--011 Sunday died, ED WARD COOKE, Esq. late Under-Secretary of State n his Majesty's Office for Foreign Affairs. This melancholy event, which was occasioned by an inflammation of the lungs, took place at his resi dence in Park-lane. The progress of the disease was rapid, for but a few days ago he was in bet ter health than he had been for some time past. A liver complaint, with which be bad been long afflicted, obliged hint to relinquish the important post he held in the Foreign Department, and to retire from public life, after between thirty and forty years of most diligent and active employ ment both here and in the Sister Kingdom. His father was Dean of Ely, and Provost of King's College, Cambridge. • SERIOUS RIOT AT BANBURY.—On Friday last, at the Election of the Hon. H. LEGGE, for Ban bury, in consequence of the usual distribution of beer and ribbons to the populace being disconti nued, a riot took place, and the Hon. Member was knocked down, and narrowly escaped with life. The Mayor and Corporation were also se verely pelted with stones, and the windows of the Bank were broken. Peace was at length restored by the calling out of the Yeomanry, and the ap prehension of several of the ringleaders. Dun. —Wednesday a meeting took place in the Isle of Wight, between Mr. F. and Mr. S. in con sequence of a dispute with regard to some letters. Shots were exchanged, and Mr. IS. was wounded in the left breast, when the seconds interfered, though, unhappily, without effecting a reconci liation. The Marquis and Marchioness of LatisnowNs gave a grand entertainment, on Saturday, to the American Minister, the Countess of HARROWEY, Lady £BRINGTON, HUD. Was. LAME, Bon. Mr. Wake), and a distinguished party at Lansdowne House, Berkeley-square. MR. GRATTAN.—We understand that Mr. GRAT• TAN is mush better. We hope that, in a iew days, we shall have to state his convalescence.— (Irish Paper.) Yesterday Mr. ELLISTON renewed his handsome offer of one night's performance at the Drury-lane Theatre, for the benefit of the officers who sig nalized themselves in the conflict of apprehending and dispersing the Cato-street gang. Mr. BIRNIR acknowledged Mr. ELLISTON'S liberal offer, but conceived the present subscription ou foot will be sufficient to reward the officers. Yesterday a Gentleman came to Bow-street Office, and presented to the Magistrate a portable deadly instrument, which he had picked up in Great Ormond-street. It appeared to be about half the size of a bayonet at the point end, will) a brass screw at the bottom, seemingly to screw into a handle. The front and sides apptared to have been lately sharpened. A SEAT IN PARLIAMENT.—Foreigners are at a loss to account for the peculiar eccentricity of an Englishman, who will spend perhaps 15 or 18 Ifousand Pounds in a contested lilectiou for a Seat, that cannot last beyond seven, and may be vacated in two or three years ; when he may, for a few Pounds, secure at once a Seat of permanent independence on the Treasury Bench of Fortune, by one of the 4 Prizes of 30,0001., or either of the 20,0001. or 10,0001., &c. &c. in the present Lottery. LElTH.—Monday, the workmen employed in levelling the ground at the south cud of the bridge recently thrown over the river at Leith Mills (tor the purpose of opening a communica tion with the \Vet Docks and the foot of Lenh Walk), dug up, about - four or five feet from the surface, the bones of a human skeleton, in a good state of preservation ; and, trom the large ness of the roots of trees which had spread themselves over theta, they must have lain there a considerable time. During the course of the day, they also found the bones of several other skeletons, which appear :a be of an unusual .rite. It is conjectured that they (Mist have continued there since the civil wars, when a num ber of Covenameis are supposed to have fallen during the memorable, siege at the Citadel, be twixt the fortification which they erected at Leith, and the strong s.arriton tatmen - hy I_,ROIMWidt.L. COUNTY CA L WAY. TUAM, MAucn 16.—We have great pleasure in stating, that the hitherto depraved spirit which existed in our neighbout hood, has been in a great measure subdued. The Spring Business, which seemed entirely neglected, and the labour of the Country People as if totlly forgotten or disre garded, is assuming a pie sing degree of forward ness. Those fields, fur tn:tny miles around our "Town, which remAined unrifled, are now to be seen daily furnished with labourers busily em ployed in their agriculture.—(Team Gazette.) COVNTY CLARE. ENNIS, 111Ancn 16.—Perfect quiet and tran quillity reigns in this neighbourhood. An active Magistrate, who frequently accompanies the Po lice in their perambulations, declares that he never knew this part of the County to he in a state of greater tranquillity.—(Clare Julannl,) COUNTY :\LIYO. 31r. Sojeorit BURTON'S Address to the Grand Jury. " His Lordship said, that although it was not withotit crimes of a capital and a heinous nature, yet it was such as tends to shew that erinie is not increasing in the County, but rather that it is di minishiiig. His Lordship then observed, that it would he• too much, perhaps, to expect, that this County should be wholly fri:c7 from those excesses which disgraced the neighbouring Counties, but he had satisfaction ii► thinking that' here they were not Howerons, and also that the few cases which were to be tiled are not of the most aggra vated description." COUNTY ‘VATERFORD. Baron GaoßGeb Address to the Grand Jury, " He congratulated the Grand Jury on the lightness of the Calendar, observing, that the quantity of crime was not greater than might rea sonably be expected, on Ordinary oceasiong, in a population of such extent as was contained in this County." couNTY LIMERICK. Mr. Serjeant Jo y's Address to the Grand Jury. " lie said he kit happy, that, in the Calendar of the County of Limerick, he did not find any proofs of the disaffection of principle, or magni tude of crime, which were, unfortunately, too vi sible in other parts of the Kingdom ; but he telt it his duty to tell the Gentlemen of the Grand Jury, that though their County was undistin bed by factious disposition or rebellious feelings, yet they should not relax in their endeavours to pre vent its approach, when they found other parts suffering under its effects—it is not, said his Lord ship, when your houses are on tire, that you should play the engine on it, but you should meet the danger, if possible." COUNTY CAVAN. Judge FLETCHER'S Address to the Greet] Jury. " lie observed, the Calendar, though name rous, afforded no offence of magnitude, and was entirely free from those crimes which were in other places 30 numerous, though he could not imagine what possible object the , Perpetrators of those offences can have in liew ; on their absence from this Country, and the trivial nature of the offence in the Calenthr, he congratulated the County." COUNTY WEsTNIEATII. Baron SMITH'S Charge to the Grand Jury. " Gentlemen —Although the Calendar may not be as light as we could desire, it would yet appear that the state of your County may afford matter of congratulation when compared to that of others." COUNTY WEXFORD. Judge JouNsTores Charge to the Grand Jury. " GENTLEMEN—I have great pleasure in con gratulating you, and myselt also, on the state of the Calendar, as I find that the crimes charged in it are of a very mitigated nature." With the exception of Cavan, Wexford. and Waterford, these are three Counties which were either the immediate scenes of time disturbances, or in their vicinity. In Roscommon, punish ment has been inflicted on the Ribbontnen, and no effort has been made on the part of " the In surgents," to rescue their Friends from the hands of justice. We take this opportunity of congratulating the Morning Chronicle, which assured us that we should be all murdered on Patrick's Day. The festival passed over, however, with great hilarity, amid we cannot find ourselves in the least " out of sorts this morning."—(Dublin Evening Post.) SINGULAR CHARACTER.-Within the lost few days died, Susannah Nieman, aged 83, at her re sidence, on Clerkenwell-green. This old Lady had for many years been an object of curiosity to her neighbours front the singularity of her habits, which were principally characterized by a close adherence' to a rigid economy. She had lived in the house in which site died fur seventy-five years, and was possessed of a comfortable lode pendence. ller constant study, however, was to " increase her store," and thus site was in duced to deny herself many of those in cessaries which her advanced age demanded. She was a subscriber to many charitable establishments, and had several pensioners, to whom she al lowed front three-pence to a shilling per week. She was, however, capticious in her ft iendships, and the slightest appearance of extravagance lost her good will for ever. Alany who hadcontri bitted 'to tender the evening of her days Comfort ,ble, were not a little !nut tified to find that she had, in disposing of her worldly property, totally for gotten them and their favours, and this too upon rather an extraordinary pretext. In the good things hicb they brought her, they had been coo liberal iu the use of butter, of sugar, of eggs, or some other ingredient, which shelved such disposition to be extravagant, that it excit ed her silent disapprobation. Jhe was prudent enough to relish the pleasing contributions to her P,late, but the source from whence they taut: re maitted polluted in her mind- -
