MR. CANNING AND SIR FRANCIS BURDETT

On the 4th of April last, while Sir Francis Bur-
dett was confined in the King's Bench for writing
that excellent address to his constituents on the
subject of the outrage of the 16t1i. of August, a party
of the Ftiends of Parliamentary Reform dined to-
gether, to the Chairman of which party Sir Francis
addressed a letter, in which, among other things, he
said—" Gentlemen, that Air. Canning—l mention
him as the champion of the party—a part thr the
whole—should defend to the Intel most, a system,
by the hocus-poclis tricks of which he and las family
gel so much public money, can cause neither mc, nor
any man. surprise or anger
For 'tis their duty, all the learned think
To espouse that (Anse by which they eat and drink.'"
Mr. Canning returned from the Continent on
the 6th inst. and the following correspondence has
since taken place
(No. 1.)
TO SIR FRANCIS BURDRTT.
.• Gloucester Lodge, June 7, 1821.
" Sta,—ln a letter bearing your signature, and purporting to
have been addressed by you to the Chairman of a dinner of Par-
liamentary Reformers on
.the 4th of April, which was published
in several of the newspapers of the Wowing day, a liberty is taken
with my name, as little justifiable (in my judgment) by differences
of political opinion, as it is reconcileable with the ordinary
courtesies of private life.
** The obvious meaning of that passage in your letter of which
I complain, is, to impute to me, that in upholding the present
system of reprisentation in the I louse of Commons, I am actuated
by the corrupt and dishonourable motive of a personal pecuniary
interest.

" It cannot be a matter of surprise to you, that I should feel
myself under the necessity of requiring at your hands a disavowal
oldie imputation which that passage appears to convey. Should
you be unable or unwilling, toadord me a satisfactory explanation
on this point, I have then to demand of you the only other
reparation which an injury of such a nature admits.
• • • • • • • • • •
" I have the honour to be, Sir,
" Your must obedient servant,
(Signed) " GEO. CaNutun."
• The remainder of the letter is occupied in
assigning Sir Francis's confinement as a reason fur
the delay that had occurred.

(No. Y.)
TO THE RIGHT 110 N. GEORGE CANNING.
" St. James's Place, June 8, 1821.
" Sta,—l am not aware of having made any unjustifiable
allusion to you, or of having said of you in my letter to the
Chairman of the Reform Meeting, more than all political men,
who benefit from the system which they advocate, are fairly and
necessarily subject to,
" The letter in question is now before me; and I am at a loss
for a form of words in which 1 could have more guardedly
marked the disqualification under which I conceive yourself and
others to be from giving authority to your opinion on Parlia-
mentary Reform, and at the same time have avoided making any
allusion whatever to personal character.
" Not having intended, and not having made (as I read the
letter) any such allusion at the time, I cannot now hesitate, in a
more particular manner, to disclaim having ever had such an
intention.. . . .

" I have the honour to be, Sir,
" Your most obedient humble servant,
(Signed) " F. BURDETT."
(No. 3.)
TO SIR FRANCIS BURDETT.

Gloucester Lodge, June 9. 1941.
gryt,—..Lord William !Sentinel( has just delivered to me the
answer, which you have transmitted to his Lordship through
Mr. Kinnaird. to the letter which I addressed to you on Thursday..
•• Lord William Dentine's's opinion (with which my own
feelings entirely coincide) satisfies me that I can have no other
reply to make to your letter than to express my acknow
for the frAnknessand promptitude with which you have dis ' ed
any intention of personal offence.
I have the honour to be, Sir,
•• Your most obedient ser rant,
(Signed) " GEO. Caintnis."
Thus the business rests—it is a well known fact.
that among the most unfortunate and debased of
their sex, a more unpardonable offence cannot be
committed than the application of the epithet
which the English language applies to those in
such a situation—the night lion. George Canning
seems to be equally tensttive—he does not object
to his mother, his sisters, and himself, being quar-
tered on the public, but he would step forward and
revenge himself on any one who should remind him
of the fact, by breaking ut once the Law of God
and of his Country
