TITLATT.ICAL ROUT AT PARIS,

Nothing could be mote beisterotts and tumuls
tnary, than the first representation t.f the Opera so
often announced, and so often postponed, entitled,
La Pete Mais,,a. The pit nol only hootedEhissed,
and roared, during the representatien, but, attcr the
curtain dropped, a lame body. from it mounted the
stage, and menaced t'he Perloto,ei s, while some
br:ke the benches, 14.1 re down the li:tdats, smasbe,l
the Mosiciatte citairs and stands, in the orchestra,-
and drove the Musicians out of the house. A Cii-
tic, in his account of this tumult, in a P:•,iis Paper,
says, "No doubt the author% of this piece ate 1,,
blame; for there is but little inre:ekt, and a g!
deal of immorality, in all that could be heard of P.
The Composer of the music is to blarre, for he
attempted to gratify the public expe,l,om, by
Combination of weak, feeble, Vague, anti :.1)::—.1r.:-

ors also are somewhat to be blamed, for les:. e,e.,

render it necessary to return to the o.d
guards in the pit, to make it respeft

Pilnicoritv 1)r Mr. Mainwarin . 87
Sir Flt ANC ts DLT T, after receiving his usual
applause frsm the populace, spoke nearly as follows :
" Gentlemen, In taking my leave of yon this
day, I shall speak kith more confidence of (mr ul-
timate success, than when I addressed you )es:c..day,
from the present state of the poll, by which it ap-
pears, my adversary has only obtained a majority of
seven votes—a circumstance which afFords us strong
reason to conclude their forces arc neatly exhausted,
and that, Ii rally, their strength cannot be equal to
ours. It you make comparison between the poll
this week, and at a similar time during the last elec-
tion, you will find I stand on aivantageons grounds.
We have had a number of votes objcilted to, and
many of my Voters, by coming too lax to poll, have
been compelled to return ; the latter circumstance
has occasioned inconvenience—and I cannot answer
for their not has ing been since, because they will
undoubtedly suit their own convenience; but, I
trust and hope those Freeho'clers who have promised
their support, will come forward as early as possible,
and not delay the decision of this contest, and our
viaory—(Pieriiiirr). Many Gentlemen nave said
they are ready to come to the hustings on a pinch
but I wish they would delay no time. Not
that I fear this majority m;ainst me ; but, if they
come on the last day of the poll, from di, spirit of
litigation that appears to be cherisrietkby those who
espouse the part of my adversary, I am apprehen-
sive ditlizultiss may attend my friends, that the pill
may close before ti,ey have an opportunity of es-
pousing a cause, which it is the interest of the county
to support, and the wish of many to see brought to
a happy termination. This is a cause for the dignity
of this county ; and we should carry it through
with the spirit we set out with, which cannot fail of
proving successful, and of serving the Constitution.
I think it wiil not be said there ever was a Candidate
placed under circuin•tances so opposite to the Con-
stitution of this country, as my opponent ; and if
that be the case, I have no doubt but it will tend to
our satisfaCtionsariumph, and honour (I.4std 'shoal's).
There never was a Candidate supported in any coun-
ty, en similar principles ; and, I trust, the county
of Middlesex will not be the first to sanction princi-
ples opposite to their liberties and independence.—
Before I take leave of you this day, I must cypress
a hope, you will bear in mind that fine maxim of
English Jurisprudence, which I have frequently re-
commended, namely, re hear iha 011ie side qf the pus-
Cun—let the proceedings Le honourable towards all
parties ; and, I trust, Irani the state of the poll, my
opponent will not succeed ; but that we, by a conti-
nuation of our exertions for the freedom, independ-
ence, and honour of this county, shall secure final
triumph."
Loud cl;eering, as usual, succeeded the speech of
Sir Francii, and, amidst the clamour, Mr. NI AIN•
%VA RING began—
" Gentlemen ! after the proofs I have experienced
of your justice and liberality, I Hatter myself you
cannot refuse to hear me express that grmitude
which I feel it my duty to
Here the hissing and tumult became so violent,
that Mr. Mainwarmg could not proceed; he there-
fore bowed and retired.

the Candidates proceeded to town in the usual
mixed uproar ot cheering and inveßive. No novelty
oc curred among ;he populace.
