AT the close of the Poll at Brcntford on Saturday the numbers were as follows : For Mr. MAINWARING, For Sir FRANCIS BURDETT, Majority for Mr. MAINWARING, 2 477 2319 Sir FRANCIS BUIthItIT, as usual, addressed .the multitude. After - thanking his Friends for their exertions; and expressing his confidence of ultimate success, he said, he could not take his leave of the Freeholders without again referring to the gross calumnies and falsehoods daily propagated against• him, ,and those who voted for him, and was par. ticularly * severe on the cry of " No Treason—No Perjury," which had been attempted.to be raised against his Friends. He then adverted to a Pa. ragraph in a Morning Paper, purporting to• have come from some of his Friends, inferring that the Marchioness of SALISBURY had manned IS post. chaises with Voters in his interest. This filsehood, Sir FRANCIS said, was introduced fur the purpose of intrLducing, by way of contradklion, the libel. loos observations that followed it. Here he read the paragraph, which expresses the indignation of that Noble Lady, at having her name brought irto question; and at the indecency of representing her to have acted in a manner so repugnant to her prin. ciples. All this he termed a fresh trick of his op. ponents and calumniators;, but the fabrication, he observed, was inca clumsy, as the Marquis (tot reasons which he stated, but which it would be im. proper in us. to repeat) was the last man that he could 'risibly lock to for any support on the present occasi ! li. He concluded, by declaring himself the zealous Supporter of the Rights of his Country, and the unbought Champion„ of British Independence and Freedom. - Mr. MAI NW Alt 1 KG, amidst a loud tumult and uproar, spoke as fo:lows : " Gentlemen, it is a satisfAion to me to say, the numbers of the Pull speak in that language they have hitherto spoken for inc. I return my grateful thanks to the Freeholders, and I want no other fa. your than a continuation of their support; while. they ate for me, and I have such a majority, I need not be apprehensive at the event of this contest."— (Here the clamour tecame so 'violent, that Mr. M A .l N %V AZ I NG retired, after cherevirgh—' , While the Pull' speaki for me, I need m i t speak myself:" Attiring the numbt'riess impositions of the BUR. Di;TT Faelicit), the largely of names, not merely as Voters, but even as Catmastersi and as Stewards to their Tavern Dinner's, is not the least audacious. — Mr. FeLt.ows, .whose name was impudently, and without any authority whatever, published in the AdVertisetnents of the F:iaion, as one of the S , ew. ards at the Crown and Anchor Tavern, has express. ed his klitpleahure and 'indignation at 61161 a prosti. lotion of it. When Sir Fit'AC IS BUItDETT says, that Ms Op. ponents have always " the same Cutko; notes, Treason and Perjury," he seems to forget that he and his party lave been much longer uttering ic the same Cuckoo notes,• Ants and Basti/e," without a/r,y reason 414 his side: .In this respect he ch.trges his OPponents with want of ingenuity, for not resorting to other notes. But his Oponents . do not want to disOay ;vomit), but to proclaim truth. The want of ingenuro, theiefore, is imputable to his side, as it seems. to be wholly confined to the same hackneyed falsehoods. Truth had once its charms; but amongst other re. volutionary wonders, lyiog braves it to open day. Persons who, in the cour,,e of the.day, ire desirous of being informed of the state of the Pill at Brett. ford, are requested to apply at the Hotel de la Revolu tion, Piccadilly, where, if they wish to be encouraged to vote for the sir;ritting Candidate, they. will be sure to receive the tuustfla tiering intelligence. It is,how. ever, recommended to the Baronet, not to desert his favourite 'Amber 4.5, as it puzzles ,all his mystic .rabble, all his enigma, writers in Grub.street and Dyor-street,' and even that conjuror—in votes — JACK FiosT himself, to know to what the number 58 can allude:—N. B. We hot* the name Jack has no allusion to any aa; , oe Citizen—before Newgate..-- That Sir FR ANC,I6 BtiIiDETT was s 8 a.head on the day's Poll, was exhibited on Saturday afternoon on Sir FitANC les own house, in Piccadilly.—We re. commend" the Baronet to apply to his friend Not.. vx v Ns, for a fine full.length figure of Falseboad. It would fill a niche in his balcony with peculiar grace. Citizen FRANK BURDETT's NOVal Procession is allowed, on'all hands, to he forcibly allusive. Ills friendship to the. Naval Mutineers ought hot to be forgotton in hii present disinterested struggle for Independelice and. Liberty. A Ship sailing on dry land cannot fail of making a strong impression on his friends, the United irishmen- , -.-and his hopes of fame afradirtillethst, as u l'orior, being rapidly du. sluing into air, he has judged well its making .the 4'Ziast of Parker, ri.dev.tnt Adaiiral at the Note, he CorninOdOre of his Fleet. TRIFLING • MIDDLEsEX ELEcrioN.—.4.nother vestiOri or two, ivhiCh it is for the Baronet its deny, or for the Eleaors of MillieseX to weigh well, and to answer At the time that, was executed, and that the name of O'CONNOR excited such ii.digna. tion in • every virtuous, breast, that Sir FRANCIS himself Could not : but consider it 'as 'a bar to his being treated withi_by .any loyal Subject, as a tenant for a house and farm _ _ Did not Sir FariNcts go to Elstree, agree with Mrs. Rtloca, in his own,name, for premises of a considerable extent, and'assign the lease, the mo ment he obtained it, to hi: dear friend, ARTIIUR O'CONNOR Di i not Sir FRANCIS consider it as the first cl►jetl of his visit , to Paris to cultivate a friend., ship with the impious Satyrist of Christianity, the enemy, in his own expression, " of the whole Hell of Monarchy,", Tirom4s PAIN? Did he not dine. with bins frequently, and live with him chiefly during Isis stay - in that capital. Answer, Sir FRANCIS, ur cease your daily ha rangues on calumny.

Letters (rein Amiens give some. account of the Emperor's passage through that ,town. The inte rests of this Departnient.were the subjeil of 3.0011. versation• that took place between him and. the Pre. Ted. On the representation that tl.e 3oo,ooolivtes due for forage provided for. the Troops was not paid, the Emperorofter expressing his astonihhment, said, he would give orders that the payment should instantly be made, On taking his departure, the Emperor received a Petition from M. Da Hasse, an Officer of the Volunteers of hit Guard, praying that the Corps might be present, by deputation, at Iris Coronation. At the sight of his uniform, Nis Majesty said smilingly, " There is an Officer of my Guard of Honour; I see' with pleasure his de. vot ion to my misc.?' The Horse Guard of Honour presented a Petition to a similar effed. JULY zB. The pa v eror passed all Monday.last in the Camp of the tst Division of the Army of Boulogne. Ile was highly satisfied with the state of the Troops.: He acknowledged the claims 'of several 'soldiers to belong to the Legion of Honour, and made several promotions. After the,.,manecovres were ended, • the Emperor gave audience to the Prefai of the Pas-de.Calais, the Bishop of ARRA', and the. Senator CARAT.

The Minister of War takes 'his departure this night for the coast. The Minister of Marine is also on the point of leaving us. A Letter from Liege, dated 24. th of Joly, contains the followiog particulars ;—" The Pretett of the Department cif Ourthe, of which this Town is the capital, received two days ago a Letter from the Moister of the Loterior, announcing that her Imperial,Majesty wooi about to visit the waters of Aix.la-Ctoreelle ; and that she would sleep at Sedan the 23d. On this occasion the Mayor published the subsequent notice : " The Mayor loses no time in announcing to his iellow.citizeos that,' her Majesty the Empress JosteHlN a is expelied to.trght within the walls of this towo. Her .IVl*jesty .enter by the Quay, and the G tie of Avtey, and descend at 'the Prefettural Palace. The Inhabitants situated in the streets through which her Imporial Majeaty will pass, will therefoie, on this day, illuminate the front of their houses, precisely at nine o'clock. The Mayor expels that his fellois..citizens will, on this occasion, manifest their joy at seeing in the Midst of them the August Spore of the Supreme Chief of she .Empire. The.
