For this purpose, f may refer our readers to Mr. NICHOLLei Work; at the -"1 " time calling upon them closely and dispassionately to iitt'estigate th e co nduct of the Whigs on every great const l- t4l bi i°n at question, since - Mr. Fox and his Party first became ects of public attention, and then, to decide whether the ;: ftlai ns of that Party are intitled to the confidence of the t h ulik ; or, whether the only course to be pur sued , b y which itl ' .

He says, , "As an Englishman I hare always wished fOl Reform because I have always been of opinion that if :.4cform did not take place, Revolution would be a neces sary consequence of the existing abuses." the term " Reform" many people object; for our own Parts Wt can sec nothing objectionable in it ; but Mr. Nl "ft,its's definition of it is clear and accurate, and strongly 1'11111 " the difference between it and REvoLuTrost, with which ttis, nY ate apt to consider it as synonymous. " I consider Re :, f orm," he says, " to be a correction of abuses, without de stroying the existing Constitution. I consider Revolution t 65 be A correction of abuses accompanied with the destruc- Olt of the existing Constitution." s 4 lee fact is, that the Whigs, acting the part which they have th_ ascribed to the Government with respect to ztrl'awretched and infamous Franklin, have, by their speeches h i i„ f actious addresses to the mob, raised an alarm in the t o dread of many sensible but cautious men, and led them erm a Reform as subversive of the Constitution and ti N to the destruction of every thing that is valuable Country, well knowing that such were the most ef nr-e u al means of perpetuating a system upon which their se nt influ ence r ests, and on which depends the realiz gt'4ll thei r am bitious projects, and, thus, has a large R ' n of the Community been withdrawn, by the fears and ieet n :,: io raised, from an impartial consideration of the sub credit Reform, and the very term itself been brought into dis- TC and disrepute. and b e . °Pinions of Mr. ntitor.f.s on this important roestion, p cliv is exposition of the duplicity and ambition of the Op. l enc It nts will doubtless render him the object of their Tim m) e and attack, but his character will rise superior to the h i ,, r 4 0 f their malevolence. llis conduct throughout life b eenj te uniform and consistent, and his opinions on the sub tile' Reform are sanctioned by those of the most conti c,:nai and eminent Judges and Lawyers. who have ever c 9 the gr e at es t firmnsss in maiutaining the freedom of d, st ef ons, and i n su pp ress i n g every attempt to invade and Op eti r° Y it.

OFFICIAL CORRESPONDENCE BETWEEN LORD BERESFORD AND 'NIP. SUPREME JUNTA. The Marquess' De- Campo Mayor, Marshal in Chief of the Armies of the United Kingdoms of Portugal, Brazil and Algarves, near the King's person, was inexpressibly astonished at the com munication he received from the new Govern ment established in Lisbon, in which the latter refuses to receive the Marshal in Chief, and ac knowledge him as such, as it is bound to do, since he has recently received, through the fa vour of his Most Faithful Majesty, honours, which he alone can grant; and if the Govern ment proclaims him as the head of the nation, it in no way can or ought to alter the precepts of the Monarch, and in this case the nation does, or does not acknowledge him. If it does ac knowledge him, it ought to preserve to him this undeniable authority; and if it does not acknow ledge him, the whole of Europe will feel this offence, but more especially England, and insist on the observance of her treaties, as sincere as they are ancient.L—On board the Vengeur, &c. ANSWER.—The Supreme Government of the Kingdom, in acknowledging his Most Faithful Majesty as the head and chief of the nation, de clares to Lord Beresford, that the nation has at present reassumed all the rights belonging to it, in order to recover its happiness.—Lisbon, Palace of Government, &c. larssoN, OCT. 17.—Lord Beresford arrived here on the 10th instant from Rio Janeiro, in the Vengeur, Captain Maitland, bringing dispatches from the Court for the late Regency at Lisbon, and also hills of lading of specie arid other pro perty, which at first he refused to give up, in consequence of which the Supreme Government was at a loss how to obtain possession of the pro perty ; but on the following day, the Phoenix, also from Rio Janeiro, arrived, bringing dupli cates of the bills of lading, and upon the pro duction of which, Captain Maitland delivered the property, it being consigned to the Treasury. —On his arrival, Lord Beresford expressed a wish to disembark, but the Government replied that they could not answer for his safety, when he said he would risk it ; but ultimately he was refused, every one being strictly prohibited from going on board the Vengeur : however, three British Officers (one of high rank), broke the regulation, and found means to get on board, in consequence of which they were totally dismiss ed the service. SHIP NEWS. DEAL, Oe-r. St.—The I , :weretta, Fuge, which sailed on the lth inst., for the South Seas, has put back, and proceeded `or the River, havog received damage in the late gales.— Arrived and sailed for the River the Indian Chief, Humphreys, 27 days from Virginia ; William, Quirk, from Smyrna; and Starling, Douglas, from Havre. PORTSMOUTH, OCT. 31.—Sailed his Majesty's ship Beaver for St. Helena; and the Betsy Marianna, Beasher, for Lisbon. PLYMOUTH, OCT. 30.—Arrived the Grace, bi'lntosh, from Cadiz, for Exeter; Maria, Sovey, from St. John's, New foundland. RANI SGATE, OCT. 31.—Arrived the Peter and John, Nickols, from Lanzelot, with damage. The Emperor of Russia closed, the Diet o, Poland at Warsaw, on the.i3th of October, with a speech, in which his MAJESTY evinces a feeling of displeasure at the general conduct of the Mem bers during their Session. " Examine your own consciences," says the Empror, " and you will know if, in the course of your discussions, you have rendered to Poland the services which she had expected from your, wisdom ; or if, on the contrary, misled by the seductions too common in our day, and sacrificing a hope which might have realised an expectant confidence, you have not retarded in its progress the work of the restora tion of your country !"—The Emperor thinks that a heavy responsibility lies upon them; on this account he will not judge of their motives for rejecting the projects of law laid before them, but thinks the Members may lessen the unfa vourable impression, by diffusing in their places of abode a spirit of peace and tranquillity ; and his Majesty declares himself always desirous of seeing the Constitution given to Poland con firmed by moderation and justified by the happi ness of the people. The army assembled in and about Warsaw, during his Majesty's stay, was 30,000 men. COURT Ciacutmt.--The KING arrived at the Palace of Carlton House, between twelve and one o'clock yesterday, from his Cottage in Windsor Great Park. His Majesty was attended by Sir Benjamin Bloomfield, and escorted by a party of the 19th Lancers. Lord Castlereagh had an audience of his Majesty soon after his arrival.—The Duke of York transacted military business with the King yesterday, soon after his arrival in town from. Windsor.—Yesterday the Duke of York held a Levee as Commander in Chief, at his Office in the Horse-Guards—The Duke of York had a select party at dinner yes terday.—Yesterday the Duchess of Clarence took an airing in the Parks. All express was sent of from the Foreign Of fice on Monday evening to Lord CASTLEREAGH at North Cray, requiring his Lordship's presence in town to meet his MAJESTY yesterday. We have authority to state that her MAJESTY will attend the House of Lords to-morrow. — (Morning Paper.) Colonel REY NETT, Military Secretary and Equerry to the Duke of CAMBRIDGE, left town last night, with dispatches for his Royal High ness, and other branches of the Royal Family on the Continent. CORN-EXCHANGE, Nov. I.—We have had but few arrivals of any grain since Monday, when a large proportion of the supply from Essex and Suffolk remained undisposed of, and for which there - was little demand this morning, especially for the inferior qualities, which could not be got off, although tendered at an abatement of 2s. per quarter, but prime samples supported Monday's prices. Fine Barley being scarce, sold on as good terms as on Monday, but all other sorts were nearly unsaleable. In Beans, Peas, and Oats, there is no alteration. THE LATE MR. RAE. It will give great pleasure to the People in ge neral to learn, that amidst all the dissipation, profligacy, and selfishness of the present age, the • spirit of Benevolence is by no mear:s extinct, but seems as active as ever in the cause of Distress. The liberality of the Manager opened Drury. lane Theatre last night, for the benefit of the Wi dow and Orphans of the late Mr. RAE. The Theatre Was crowded almost immediately after it was opened, and the lobbies and avenues were thronged with visitors, who were unable to procure a seat in the audience department; but whose disappointment seemed to be consoled by the zeal of humanity. The dramatic piece on this interesting occasion was the admirable Comedy of The Rivals, one of the valuable in tellectual legacies which Mr. SHERIDAN has be queathed to his country for ever. It would be great injustice to those Performers who flocked to the standard of Humanity last night, to omit their names. Mr. ELLISTON, besides devoting his Theatre to the meritorious cause, performed the part of Captain. Absolute ; Mr. Cu.utLEs KEMBLE was Faulk/and; DOWTON, Sir Anthony; H R LEY, Acres ; THOMPSON, Sir Lucius &Trig ger ; RUSSELL, Fag ; KNIGaT, David ; Mrs. EDWIN. Lydia Languish; Mrs. DA I/Hos, Julia; Mrs. I.44I.IIENPORT, Mrs. Malaprop ; and Miss KELLY Lucy. Besides this powerful Dramatic Corps, all of whom seemed to be animated by a ge nerous emulation, the following Performers added arich musical treat to this triumph of Benevolence: Mr. BRAIIAM, Mr. T. COOKE, Miss CARKW,•MiSS POVEY, Madame VEsTais, &c. The Occasional Address, written by Mr. W. A. SHARP, was spoken by Mrs. WEST, with a degree of pathos as well as expression, that could only result from judgment blended with sympathy. The Afterpiece was Of Age To-morrow, which agreeably diversified the general entertainments. The profits of the night must be considerable, and it is but a just tribute to the theatrical Community to state, that they are always zealous to contribute their efforts on similar occasions. When o'er th' untimely grave where Merit sleeps, Affection droops, and kindred Sorrow weeps ; When near that Douse his ♦oice was wont to cheer, Or claim for mimic Woe the starting tear; Voiceless he lies, nor bears nor heeds the sigh Breath'd to his fate by gen'ruus Sympathy ; What best may soothe the widow'd mourner's grief ? Whence shall the anxious mother hope relief ? Whence, but from You—the Patrons of his fame, His earliest, latest friends—in more than name— Whose susile• e'en noses genial influence shed— (So chews the flow'ret from the grave's low bed)-- Hope to the living, honour to the dead. flow often, 'wiz, the plausiv• hand and ele Have hail'd the mingled grace, and energy That mark'd his efforts in the injured Titans - Tk e Red-Bose-Chief —the melancholy Dane — The Mantuan Lurer—Edgar too—but bold— Pardon Cordelises tears—" Poor Tom's a cold." Yes lie is gone—but shall his memory fade From the " wind's eye," as flits the rapid shade Of the light cloud on Summer's gale that flies And shall his tomb but tell us—" Here he lies ?" No—let his virtue* end Lis fame survive— In the rewerubraucs of your bounties lire. Thus, in day's beam the liquid amber shines, So gilds, and so r reserves, the object it enshrines. Who most his merits and his loss shall know In her chill'd heart, yet feels the grateful glow To You, ye Fair, whotsi rank and beauty crown, And Charity bath " mark'd you for her own"-- Whose gentle bosoms throb for others' woe, Whose smile endears the largess you bestow : To You, whose wealth, and power, and manly sense Court the mild lustre of Beneficence : To ALL, her heartfelt thanks she bids me pay, Whose bounteous bands base stnooth'd life's rugged way— From her pale brow effaced the lines of Cars, And bid fair Comfort simile, so late where glowax'd Despair So, when the iron grasp of Fate way tear Forth from your arws and heart what most is har, Hopeless from earth you raise your eyes to Heaven, Yourselves may prove the solace you have given. Yesterday, the Duke and Duchess of HAMIL TON entertained the Marquess of Queensbury, the Earl and Countess Grosvenor, Earl of Car narvon, Earl Grey, Lord Erskine, and a large party of distinguished personages, at their house in Park-lane. Yesterday their Serene Highnesses Prince and Princess ESTERUAZ 1( entertained Count and Countess Lieven, Count and Countess de Bourke, Baron de Maltzahn, and a select party of dis tinguished foreigners, at Chandos House. Yesterday the Earl of Pow's entertained the Duke of Montrose, the Duke of Rutland, the Marquess of Camden, the Earl of Lonsdale, Lord Montague, and a select party of distinguished personages, at his house iu Berkeley-square. Mr. FEc:roa of Dover, gave an elegant Ball and Supper last week, ou account of the coming of age of his beautiful and accomplished daughter Miss Fector., The company assembled exceeded two hundred Ladies and Gentlemen of that Fort and its neighbourhood. The LORD MAvou Elect, accompanied by Mr. Alderman Ansley, Mr. Alderman ltothwell, the Recorder, Sheriffs, and several of the City Of ficers, proceeded from Guildhall yesterday morn ing to Sir William Scott's, in Grafton-street, where they were joined by Mr. Alderman Birch. His Lordship was then presented to the Lord Chancellor, according to the usual custom, who expressed his Majesty's approbation of the choice of Chief Magistrate for the year ensuing. A Court of Aldermen was afterwards held at Guild hall. The business was of no public interest. TROTTING MATcu.---Failure of Capt. JACQUES in his great Matchfor 300 Guineas.—The Captain having undertaken to trot a horse, which he wts bound to find within six weeks, 17 m iles within an hour, and to ride himself, and not to exceed eleven stone, he made the attempt on the liunt ingdon road yesterday, but after doing nine miles in 31 minutes and 10 seconds, the horse got off n his speed, and the Captain pulled up i the twelfth mile, determined not to distress the horse, as he was behind his time. "MALictousts FIRING.—On Sunday evening, the family of Bernard Earl, Esq. of Walcot House, near Child's-hill, were alarmed by the re port of a pistol, the ball of which passed over the table where three of the family were sitting, and lodged in the wainscot of the room. This i 3 the second time this thing has been repeated) and the cause cannot be ascertained. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. Bow-STREET.—Yesterday evening Mr. PnAm. sON appeared before Sir ItonERT BAKER, ference to the case against Fletcher, alias Frank lin, when the following dialogue took place : Mr. Pearson—Have you heard any thing of Mr. Fletcher? Sir It. Baker—No, nothing, Sir. Mr. Pearson—Are you sure, Sir, that you have heard nor thing ? Sir It. Baker—Qnite sure. Mr. Pearson—But, Sir, you have bad letters Sir It. Baker—Yes, Sir; what is that to you ? Mr. Pearson—Did you not say, that the last letter bet tscp which you have reccived tram Fletcher acknowledged his guilt, assigned his reasons, and was wrote to you fur the pur pose of puhlicatim, ? Sir R. Baker—Yes, I did. Mr. Pearson—Then, Sir, I now dare you to publish - those letters; and I charge you with having got them up to answer your own purposes. - Sir R. Baker=Sir, cannot keep my promise; they are in the hands of his Majesty's Law Officers. Mr. Pearson—Sir, the Lan• Officer to whom von have given . the letter, I know is an intimate friend and a relation og Fletcher's. Sir R. Baker—l will say no more. Officers, remove Mr. Pearson. Mr. Pearson—l will give your officers no such trouhle. You ought to know that the H 5415 who always questions your weak ness, would never deny your power. Mr. Pearson then left the office.—(Morning Chronicle.) MANSION HousE.—A. man was yesterday ex amined, who has been in the habit of obtaining money by informing persons that sums were due to them at the Bank on unclaimed dividends. — One case was his obtaining five shillings from a poor woman, who found that she was entitled to a dividend of three shillings and sixpence. He was enabled to discover names by inspecting a list of unclaimed dividends exhibited at the Bank. The Loan MAYOR severely reprimanded him, regretting that there was no law which reached his offence. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. NEWMARKET THIRD OCTOBER MEETING, 1820.- TugsDAY. Ocr. 31.

The venerable Mansion of the Noble Marquess-, Wooton House, Bnckinghnmshire, was almost entirely destroyed by fire in the morning of Monday bast, and nothing left remaining but the bare walls. The flames burst forth from one of the attics, about two o'clock in the morning; and, before any effectual assistance could be rendered, the whole interior of the house was reduced to a heap of ashes, including the library, the pictures, and almost the whole of the fur niture. Lord and Lady Temple were residing there, and their infant daughter was at one time in the utmost danger of falling a prey to the flames, but his Lordship's foreign valet rustled through the fire, and. brought the child away without injury. Lady Temple and her atten dants were removed to Stowe ; and an express was sent off at seven o'clock to the Noble Mar quess in town. Lord Temple was expected in town last night. The fire, we understand, was first discovered, by Captains Jervis and Grace, who happened at the time to be on a visit to his Lordship.—(Morning Herald) Base Conduct and Extraordinary Escape. — Monday evening, a good looking country girl was observed to throw herself out of the first floor window of a second-rate brothel, in a street leading into Queen -square, Holborn; she fortu nately escaped falling on the spikes of the iron pallisades, which caught her clothes, and broke , her fall, or she must have been killed. She was insensible for some time from the fright, and the neighbours sent for a constable to investigate the affair, and the gentleman who enticed her to the infernal den was taken into custody, and brought for examination before the sitting Ma gistrate at the Police Office, Hatton Garden. — It appeared that the poor girl was going from shop to shop, inquiring fora situation, when Shda met with the young gentleman (whose name we were unable to learn), who accosted 'her, and learning from her that she was in search of a place of service, he told her his aunt wanted a servant, that he was certain she would answer, and if she accompanied him home he would introduce her. She accordingly, without suspicion, accom panied him to this infamous house, which was of a respectable appearance, and was shown up stairs, , where she soon learned the kind of house she was brought into, and finding no other way to escape, .she precipitated herself out of the win dow. The Magistrate finding the gentlema. used no force, and that she accompanied him freely, said he could do nothing in the matter, and as the girl escaped uninjured, he thought it was better to let the matter rest.—The gentle man was discharged.--(Morning Herald.) Five Candidates have already offered thern selves for the Fellowship of Eton Collece, which the Rev. Mr. SUIbiNER intends to resign at Christ mas next. This Fellowship is worth eight hun dred pounds a year ; besides a living which is held with it.
