iieressary fur the Wrtheranee of your end; our ob
ject a reform in the representation in that house.
% W|Be so many members are 'collected together by
steins, “ which it is not necessary for us to des
” *ibe,” we cannot bot entertain the greatest appre
hensions for the remainder of our liberties, and the
employment of a military force against one of their
own body is but a sad presage of what may be ex
pected by those who might, like you, have the cou
rage to stand forward in defence of the r’.ght3 of
ifhe people. When we reflect on your generous
exertions to destroy the hurrnurs of secret and soli
tary confinement, severity of punishment in. the army;
to prevent the cashiering of its officers without
•/Cause assigned ; to restore for the comfort of the
keorn-ovt soldier, the public property conveyed by a
job torn private individual ; to prevent the extend
on of the barrack system, the obvious effect ol whirl)
was to separate the soldier from the citizen ; to
prevent the introduction of foreign truops ; to bring
to light anattroeious act of tyranny, by which u
British sailor was left to perish on a barren rock;
and, above all, your unmerited exertions to obtain
a full, fair, and free representation of the people in
parliament. When we reflect on the firmness, the
unshaken constaney which you have invariably
■hewn “ in evil report and good report,” we are ea
ger to express the sentiments of gratitude and at
tachment to yqu with which we are impressed j and
we are convinced those sentiments are not only felt
by the inhabitants of this city, hut by every person
throughout the land, who is not interested in the
Continuance of publir abuses.

Sir Francis Burdell presents his respectful com
pliments to the high laihfl of Westminster, and
transmits to him his answer, to the letter of the
electors of that eitv, which he did him the honour
to present to him this morning.
Tou'cr, April 20, 1810.
Gentlemen—If any thing could incre.ase, or
confirm, t lie constant resolution of my life, never to
betray the confidence yon lu < •>! ice.d in me, it is
the kndness and afiertio*. i ymir letter of the
t I/th Inst, testifies to me , e.r.r; a. sdom, and pro
fs; priety of your conduct at the late ir> mg.
A scrupulous adhrreni e to the c» mmon law of
the land, and the wise provisions of the ancient sta
tutes, declaratory of that law', wnich, together,
from what 1 understand t-y the ronsl'i;i . oo raised
our country to an unexampled height of h»poin-!*s
and prosperity; and an exact proportion ■> the i:
■ vasion and neglect of them, has the count s de
clined.
In the defence of these laws and Ibis constitution,
1 smile at any privation, to which, personally, l
may be subjected, thinking, that life cannot so well
and so happily, because it cannot be so honourably
and usefully expended, as in defence of this our best
inheritance, and in the maintenance of the good old
•cause, for whirl) llampd-n died in the field, and Sid
S. pey and Russel on the scaffold.
| Laws, to be entitled to respect and willing obedi
ence, nrust be pore—mu at come front a pure sourer
-—that is, an house of commons, freely elected by
" m
i* the people. Moreover, they who pay the reckon
ing, ought i<r examine, and enntroul the account;
and thy only controul the people can have, >s by a
fair representation in parliament. The necessity
of obtaining this check, by a constitutional reform,
is now acknowledged by all, except those who con
trary to law, b-ive possessed themselves of a pro
petty in the house of commons, by whom this land,
this England—
-- i Ins dear, dear land,
Dear for her reputation through th* world,
Is now leas’d out
Like to a tenement or pelting farm ;
England, bound in with the triumphant sea,
Whose rorky shore beats hark the envious surge
Of watery Neptune, is now bound in with shame,
With inky blots and rotten parchment bonds.
King Richard, act 2, scene 1.
From this foul and traitorous traffic, our ho.
rough-monger sovereigns derive an immense reve
j mjf, cruelly wrung Irom the hard hand of honest la
hour. | do, however, now entertain an ardent hope,
that this degraded and degtadmg system, to which
all our difficulties, grievances, and dangers are ow
ing, will at length give way to the moderate, but de
termined perseverance of a whole united people.
Magna rharta and the old law of the hind will
then resume their empire—freedom will revive—
the caterpillars of the state, roiling themselves up,
in their own, naturally narrow, sphere, will fall off,
and perish—property, and political power, which
the law never separates, will he re united— the king
Replaced in the happy, and dignified station, allotted
■Mm by the constitution—the people relieved from
fpthe bitterest of nil curses, the curse of Canaan—
- that of being the servants of servants—and re
stored to their just and indisputable rights.
:4$ t. Tj» effect ibese great, important, and necessary
iiiapP»ges, no exertions of mine shall ever be want
;l#fe ftatbnul their attainment, no efforts of mine
Jplfggeavail.
&a| Jj'be people of England must speak out—they
anust do more—they must art; and if following
y the example of the electors of IVesminster, they do
Inpit firm and regular manner, upon a concert*
ed plan—ever keeping the law and constitution in
||grij«g|fothey must finnally succeed, in recovering
*fij|kaW*to which they are legally entitled—the ap
" pdWenent of their own guard,ans and trustees, for
- the protection of their own liberty and property.
They must either do this, or, they must inevitably
falLa sacrifice, to one, or the other, **f the most
, ri)|iif|lwp*-ihle factions, that i«er disgraced this or
4'«fl§l|9ther country.
s-^fipTbe question is now at issue ; it must nc.w he ul
m|md|MUerni,ined, wh-ther wc are henceforth Co
lUwwasaitr hwiree. Hold to ilmlews—-this great
lkcowholrv .'TpamRover ; for taka them; and it will
