BOW-STREET.-The time of the Magistrates was yesterday much occupied with a variety of the West minster Election squabbles. Several of Mr. 'Sheri, dan's marrow. bones and cleavers were brought up . by some constables, . charged with making a noise, and behaving in a riotous Manner, so as to impede the business of the ele&ion ' but the Magistrates did not think the charge sutikiently made out, and discharged them. . • Three men were charged with assaulting others, in CoVent-Garden, they were likewise discharged. A man was charged with picking the pocket of a Gentleman, amono - b ,the- crowd, in Covent-Garden. The charge being cleaily proved, he was committed for trial. • A Gentleman and his wife, from the West Indies, whO reside in the neighbourltood of Fitzroy-square, were charged with'flogging‘a black girl, whom they breCright from the' West Indies, .with a rope, in a most inhuman manner. A Surgeon who examined the girl, considered the wounds which she had re -ceived by.the flogging, in a very dangerous state.— 'ey were ordered_ to find very good bail.

PAULL 3582 MI% SHERIDAI , ; • ---r 3429 WESTMINSTER ELECTION. The arrangements yeSteiday, particularly with re gard to Mr. Sheridan, appeared to be more rnetho cliCally 'settled than on any former day, in conser (*lice of which the poll proceeded. with scarcely any of the embarrassments or disputatious by u hid) it had been heretofore obstilated. About two o'clock Mr. Sheridan, accompanied by a number of his friends, appeared on the hustings, and was saluted with shouts of applause, interrUpt- . ed, however, by- some cries of " fault for ever." Mr. Sheridan conversed very good humouredly with the orators of the mob, who seemed quite recon ciled to him. After :a good deal of conversation, Mr. Sheridan manifested a disposition to retire, which the Mob peroeiving, a number of voices exclaimed, " D—n it, Sherry, don't leave us, you are a goon. fellow—though we oppose, you, we don't dislike you, old 'boy.". During the stay of NTT. Sheridan - upon the hustings, the progress of the poll was pe .culiarly 'flattering, and the voters seemed gratified to see him in good health and spirits. About three o'clock Mr. 'Sheridan retired, and promised to at-. tend the hustings, to-morrow. • • The total numbers were, -at the close of the poll Cif SAhtUEL HOOD 4029 Mr. PAULIj 34" • INIr. SHERIDAN 3ZS4 • After the state of the poll was declared, Mr. WHITBREAD stood 'forward; and .his appear ance was greeted by all with marked approbation. When, however, it was understood by the crowd that Mr. Whitbread was the opponent of. Mr. Paull, some outcry was raised among the friends of that Candidate. As soon as the outcry subsided, Mr; Whitbread' addressed the Meeting._ He began 'by stating, that aS_ an independent EleEtor of West , minster, he was warranted in claiming from such among the' crowd as were really independtut a fair hearing. (A cry of hear • hear !) In the name of Mr. Sheridan—in the name, of his numerous and respedable friends—in the name of the country and of rational freedom., he begged to thank those to whose support his 'illustrious Friend . was indebted for his present advantageous situation upon the poll- - (app/auses). Among those who were most anxious to hear him, he perceived many of the most anxious friends of Mr. Paull, and : he thanked them , for; the disposition they manifested: No one of the people'. at .England more sincerely respeded than he did the right of an Englishman to ad as he pleased, and to speak as he thought, particularly Upon an occa.. sion like ,the present. In such. a contest; however, too many were apt to ' think themselves absolved from the necessity of attending to the rules'of con- mon 'propriety. He had' witnessed a good deal of irregularity ; but he . could - not ascribe it to the Eledors : no ; for as far as their opinion was to be oolleded from the result of the poll, it was decidedly in favour of Mr. Sheridan. This result, however,. he was not disposed to attribute so much to the par-' tialitytenerally entertained for Mr. Sheridan, as to the' difference very naturally ascribed in' the public tnind - , by the' contrast, to the principles avowed by Mr. Paull, and those of the other Candidates-1-(app/auses). The present bad no doubt been a hard4ought con test, but he had no doubt that ultimate victory would be with his distinguished- friend, Mr. Sheri dan. Such was his ardent 'wish, and that wish he had expresSed' by his vote. With regard to ,the objections urged' against his Right Hon. Friend, on the grounds that he held a place, and that there. fore he ought not to have obtruded his presensious upon the Ele&ors of Westminster; but ought -to sneak into Parliament through some rotten BO rough—ho deprecated the dodrine. It was a proof of .the honesty, of his Right Hon. Friend's case, that he submitted himself to the judgment 'of so large a proportion_ of, hiS Countrymen—and if rie had ap pealed mall the People of England, it would have been a .still stronger evidence of his cbtiscious•rce,ti tude. .:.To such an appeal, particularly upon the Igrotu4ls which. his opponent advanced a,. , :ahist him, jilt:, was . sera., his eight Hon. Yriend could have ,no -(-;blcilion, but wOo l ici-ial'hei• 'Urge It i :With "alacrity. is claims and Charaaer were now before the tri 4tual the most numerous class of. Electors in the British Empire,...and lie had no doubt that the decision would be. in his...favour, After (livening upon the absurdity of the proposition, that.,,a 111;111 should be proscribed by the people because he ac cepted a , situation which enabled him to,reuder them .effeetual service, the Honourable expressed his conviaion that the majority iv0:..,41•13'p decidedly in faKoui of Sir Samuel Hood ara.Mr. Sheridan. Sir SAMUEL HOOD observed upon the advantage' which his friends bad obtained over his. adversary. since yesterday. This advantage the Honourable Admiral was glad to .consider :g-s an evidence that the friends of the Constitution were too formidable. to be overcome by, its ,enemies—and he begged to present his thanks, which he did most cordially, to those Eledors who had favoured Mr. Sheridan add himself with.. their support. He requested them to persevere in their . exertions, and he bad. no doubt the result. would be favourahle to their: wishes. Mr. PAULL said, he addressed the Eleflors for the eighth time, with much more confidence as to the issue of the contest than he had yet felt. Not withstanding the assurances which on Friday last the ,Meeting had heard from the place-hunting Member for. Coventry, that he would have been quite broken down before now—notwithstanding the influence and threats of the Minister of the Court, and of the Heir Apparent of the Throne, . his opponent, the Treasurer of the Navy, had no other resource than to be draggedhlong reluanotly and slowly by the, yellow Admiral---(applause; and hisse.9, But how the yellow admiral himself was tible to furnish this aid the Electors must be curious to know. He could assure them that it was the re sult of a fraud of the foulest and most scandalous , nature—(plaudits and hisses). • He wosild explain to this Meeting what he meant by the'fraull. 'For the first four or five days of the p,et'Stion the yellow Admiral had tanvassed in the Parishes of St. John', and St. Margaret's, and assured the Voters that he had not, nor ever would have, any connexion whatever with the Treasurer-of the Navy. To this he pledged the honour of a British Admiral ;' but yet, as soon as he had. obtained the votes under this un derstanding, 'he forgot his pledge, and forfeited the promise which ought to be held inviolate. The 4 did the yellow Admiral, covered with these marks of honour with which his Sovereign had favopred him, tarnish the credit and charaefer of the British Navy.---4 Fie, Fie ! exclaimed several Gentlemen, the whole is false— a mere election artifice.):---For when he bad polled the yoters with whom lie made the compea, he - set the compact at nought, and formed the coalition, which was equally the subject of pub- I , lie surprise and indignation. What added to his confidence in the result of this Election, the Hon. Gentleman stated to be the, declarations of Mr. Whitbread to-day. That Gentleman, whoM he should wish to respe&, had come fbrward to class himself with the place-hunting Member for Coven-' . .try, who did not' dare .to 'show his thee upon, the hustings for some days back, by making -confident predictions as to the future. But Mr. Whitbread, would soon find his prediaions untbunded; and would not again appear before the people to repeat any thing of the kind. Per himself lie could not but feel, that notwithstanding all the resistance he had met with, he was in a situation as proud as any -individual in Westminster had ever occupied, as upon the close of the Bth day's poll in the cele brated contest between Mr. Fox and Sir Cecil Wray, theformer, supported as he was by all the Aristo cracy, by the influence and the purses of no less 'than ten Dukes, was only 45 above his opponent ; whereaS he, opposed by the Court; - the Heir Ali- % parent, and all the Aristocracy, and Supported only by the People, stood, at the same period, in a much higher situation.—(App/Chtses and hisses.)=.-To the People and his prineiples alone he trusted.;:--througli them he'hoped for 'iriaorye They might rely on it that he would, by perseverance, afford them every oPportunily for exertion. Upon the fifteenth day of „the poll they Might depend on seeine- him there, stauding undaunted, whatever the result might be. He might . be defeated, but lie could, not be dis e b raced.—(App/auses.)—lf he was d e fe a t e d, how ever, he begged the people to reflea - , that it would invOlVe the defeat of English liberty; foi' whirl alone he con tended.against the basest coAiticrn • that, per haps, ever was formed: Of such a coatitiOti he Was . .sorry to see Mr. Whithread'a Member, but he could hardly be surprised' at any thing on the part oi that: Gentlernan, after what he had heard from him this morning, after he had given the aid of his influence to raise against hith (Mr. Paull) the cry of jacohin ism. But fie despised the calumniator as much-as lie detested the Calumny. - In considering, however, the charaaer of the calumniator, the evidence of Whitbread at O'Conner's trial, in Maid stone, naturally occurred to his recolleaion. And what did Mr. Whitbread ,depose on that occasion?' Why, that he , considered O'Connor as a man of the highest honour, and that his sentiments were' his own.—(" !that! are you Burdett's friend!" exclaim-. ed several of the crvwd---" Jf Ilk. Whitbread was culpable:on that business, your friend, Sir Francis Burdett, was more so. How do, you contrive to liar ' ness your 4o'rses together vn this ?natter?")—Mr. Paull resumed, and statpd, that upon the rectitude of his principles lie relied for the prmervatioe, -cf his character against that calumny, the power: of Which, whether applied to:his private or- public eha raaer, he entirely disdained ; lie. was fully confident that when the reputation_and..consequence of Mr. Whitbrehd should, sink into place, his. character 'would, whatever might be the; event of the present. contest, seamd well in the estimation of 'the -;lectors of Westminster, and of his Country.

You Must be deeply sensible of the mischief which would ensue if such men as Sir FRANCis BURDETT could obtain an ascendancy in this happy, 'and, I ,trust, never to be subdued, Country. By the princif...- pies of such Men, France, after a vain siruggle for 11- lierty, has fallen into the most degrading . bontrne under the greatest despot that ever appeared on the earth. Sir FRANCIS BLIRDETT has told youthat Bo= NAPARTE, with five hundred thousanA mercenaries s would be less dangerous than one hundred merce ,- naries in the House of C6mmons. •Bitt,tiny Fellow= Citizens, this is a libellous anticipation of the future House ofCommons ; and even admitting the,,possiL bility that it, may contain one hundred mercenaries, would they constitute thdwhble of the representa , five body ? The rest of the Memberswould be fully able to destroy 'the - influence of those inercenarie4 and maintain the hollow' bf Parliament. But, as fat as we hay venture to judge, the peiiple have return , ed, or are likely'to send, such Representatives to the great National' Council as wilt suppott our interests and our honour. But if Sir FRANCIS conceives that there is less danger in one hundred mercenary Sena tors than in five litindred thounnd Gallic ruffians, headed by a man. who is the most deadly enemy Great Britain; and w'otild- rejoice in seeing ie reduced to ashes, it is evident tliNt Sir Fa.isc4,;• would be more ready to promote the arrival of sucti trementh ous hordes, than to support such a Pin - Ha:bent as he has piatured to his itnaginatidn:'And..iyhatwould become of such a man as Sir FSANGIS I no t.TT; if the plundering . savagest of France cOuid 'etfeat the conquest of our .Empii'e? He,bas no talents; no acquirements, that would render hiM *tisinl to the invader;. and be Would most Irobably be'ticstroyed as an enemy to hi.; Country; even by the very man who would owe his triumph over t he British'kmpire to, such principles, as the followers of Sir FRANCIS endeavour to support by the most turbulent excesses. Sir FRANCIS has often said; that the Country was not iyorth,defenifing ;"+ and hence it must be con eluded, that,if the invaders *ere to•approach; they • would meet with no,resistanCe so far as he is ' • cerned. Thui, then, my:fellow Citizens, you haVe a compete portrait of the political •tharacier of FaANcts nimnoi-r, as drawn by himself, and no body will dispose his Merits as an artist in this repe4.--: . Now, then,:'My friends, turn your eyes upon Mr. Faun„ who declares he is the Papa tit Sir •EttAismas* BURDETT, and would follow his steps if they were ' - to lead to the gallows. But though' Mr. 'PAULL IS.- a Man 'of no abiiitirs that entitle him tote high :" station and dignified chat - after- br a Representative for the venerable City of Westriiihster, the place where the national councils arc held,' and the abaci:: of - royalty, Mr. PAO.r. is by46Mer.ths such an ideot he would fain' make you believe. , Tii . truth is, that he poSsesses " That i&v.,-c:enning which in Ads supplies, " And amply too, the want of being wise; • ' .• " Which Nature. kiiictintlulgent• Parent, gave To qualify the Blockbead'for a er nave." • Re is making- a mere cat's paw of Sir FRANCIS Bus- DETT j and when he no longer Wanted the aid of his dupe, would cast hiM off without the least cere mony. Sir FRANCIS has not sense enough to see \; • this use that is made Of him, thoegh he had a strik. • ino• lesson in the conduct ofMr. PAULL towards Marquis WELLESLEV. When .he wanted the pa« trinage of that Noble Lord, he . courted him with' the most abject servility ; rind long after he must; • have made up his mind as ,to , the condu& of the Noble Loi-d in the Goverarment;of our Eastern Pos sessions, wanting more favours from his Lordship, . • he wrote repeated Letters to the Noble Lord, full of the most abject praises : but when the Noble Lord, was at length so well aware of 'lr, •P4uLL's charac.

It 'is not , possible to :suppose that such a man could have . gained.so many .numbers on the.poll if his charader '' had•been . properly understoOd by any honest and in.: dependent NeOpr. .I have no, doubt that many. who have voted - for him, 'by' :this time bitterly .re k. . - pent: their .Cond4.o, and are heartily ashained ,of hay ing so far contributed to degrade the City of WeSt. ,' rninster.
