THE ANSWER Cli MI. JONII IUADITT.

To James Paull, Esq. May 8.--Piccadllly, 9 o'clock.
Mr Burdett's compliments to Mr. Paull, and l.e bees leave
to :I.:we Inn,, that it is quits impossible to make any 4.010.
muincation of the circumstances mentioned by Mr. Pat/11, to
Sir Francis Burdett, in his present situation. Sir Funds
has beeu much thumbed to-day, and Mt. ButelAt is
by Mr. Cline out to comitninicate to his any kind of laminew
wl!atever.
The next letter, dated May I I, is from Mr. Paull
to Mr. Home, his surgeon t Its this Mr. Paull begs
him to see Sir Francis Burdett's surgeon, upon the
subjed of a communication to Sir Francis, of the first
importance, " as delay is fraught with much future
and srrious consequences." Mr. Paull then proceeds
to notice she attempts made to ruin hint in the
public opinion, and defeat the purposes of his elec-
tion, and appeals to Sir F: antis " for a disavowal of
such efts, and a declaration that a hostile feeling re-
mains not on his side against him."
Mr. Cline, in his answer, declines communicating
Mr. Paull's latter, and returns it to Mr. Home, hav-
ing, however, " deemed it prudent for his own fu-
ture justification, to take a copy of the letter which
he refused to deliver ; that others might. if neces-
ury, form their opinion of the propriety of his
coodud in such refusal."

The pamphlet proceeds in this manner :
" From the 2d of May, when he was wounded,
up to the I Sth of May (the eighth day of the poll),
Sir F. Burdett n:ver saw nor lieard read a single
newspaper; had not even a suspicion that any poll
was pin; on for him in Westminster ; not had any
communication of news or business of any kind
made so him by any person; his friends being ex.
chided from visiting him for tkat very purpose. So
that the new game which Mr. Paull meant to play,
of a fresh intercourse with Sir Francis Burdett, and
thereon to contrive to fasten a fresh quarrel, was en-
tirely obstrueted by an exclusion of all access up to
the 43th of May ; when Sir Francis published his
address to the Ele2ors of Westminster.

*. On that very day Mr. Paull recommenced his
siege ; and pier ailed upon Captain IVolseley (the
gentleman who bad before been Mr. Pauil's second,
in his affair wits Mr. Buieltt) to convey the follow-
ing letter to Mr. Jones Burdett, who, with much
reinttance, cJnscoted at length to carry it to his
brother."
IA I. t•ULL.II LETTER. TO RIR FRANCIS SURDETT.
' Sza, • Citadel-street, May 25.
' Whatever may be the state sof your mind tuwaids in; aid
your opinion as to the past occurrences between us, li shall
commence this letter by assuring you, that persuoally towards
yourself 1 entertain no sentiment of animosity, no seissatiou of
isovv, no feeling of regret, that by the efferu of fraud, larstoood
end hypocrisy (to ehoch 1, fervently hope y.. 0 have been no
party), you have triumphed, and I have been deposed oh the
rcpresetitation of Westman•Ler.
• Throughout life, valuing reputation far beyond any thing
in the world, and seeing arts tnat were used to bracken my
public and private character, dining the first days of the elec•
lion ; feeling cemicientiously, folcilily, and sincerely, that the
Feet...Ciliation between you and we did not consist in winds
only, I wrote a note to sour brother, and a subscium.t one to me
surgeon, &Ir. Horne, fur the perusal of Mr. Cline, stating the
arts that wege used, the falslooods that were :signed, the se-
, hamlet that were propagated, asd the injuries that I was re-
ceivnig, not only repognaist to my private feelings, derogatory
to my nonont as a gendetrian, but tending totally to demo,
(as they have desto•yed) those claims, that in consequence of
lily lust servnoc and exertions (and which in happier days to
;mown was mote ready to admit than yourself) entitled one to
the represeutatoon of Westmin.ter.
• It was in roar power only to cnutradlct and to counteract the
effects of such atrocious io.rceedings ; but the plea of neslth was
used as en excuse for keeping the puspoot of tliei^ letters from
you, la also of a message to the Mlle effect, conveyed by Mr.
Clifford. To that plea 1 have nothing to urge; toe eons..
quench have Liken place that I foretold, and what it pelt is.
mods most ha Iwo, regard. Mr. W.slaeley, vino is the Iriend
of us both, has undertaten to convey this letter to you,
thruu4'i the hands of your brother; and as you hove Seen se.
Twat private friends, and publicly addressed the Electors of
Westminster, the same excuse of beaten canton be urged for
withhnldomg this letter from you.
• Whew in the carriage, returnong from Combs Wood, a so-
lemn pledge was exchangyl between us, that the notes that
had passed, and which led to the unfortunate affair at that
place, should be mutually destroyed ; iii the presence of two
of my or/Ovoids, my part of the pledge wit perloruthd, as oasts
pledge I had eves given you hod Ikea, and it remains for you
to explain, by what memos, whet medium, and what manner,
Mr. *NM Tooke became possessed of my letter written to you
at Kingston, and hunt which Inc has made a must partial, iatt-
fair, and uncandod retract, 'most the whole letter, it fairly
g;•••n would base been highly to my credit.
' 'the obtaining the inferinanuo hew 'Mr. Tosoka got a pe-
rusal of doruniems that were to be destroyed, is not the 'Med
of this letter.
• Of the whole circumstance. conneMoi with this unhappy
affair, it becomes a duty inctimberir opon me, to glee a 0,31
and unadorned account or it to the pantie, and is those frosnoli
whe are soli interemed in my welfare, especially after the letter
of Mr. Tooke.
• Has mg destroyed (with the deception of the challenge, a
copy of which was lett sealed by mr, on me night of the Ist of

Mr. Tooke concludes thus :
" I persuade myself, Gentlemen, ttat there
not a man in the kingdom who will not approve
resolution of Sir Francis Burdett, to have no I'
tare discussion nor communication of any kind with
Mr. Paull.

" Mr. Paull has had hit ample of pertunity (to
which he was not ectidtd by any reasonable rule
of honour) of wreaking his causeless revenge upnt,
Sir Francis Burdett • and it is nut owing to Mr.
