REPRESENT.I77ON OF IrE.YTMINSTER.

COPY OF A LETTER FROM SIR FRANCIS BURDETT.
Kirby park, Nov. 'J. NI&
GENTLEMEN.—On my arrival here, 1 found a numerously
signed requisition from the city of Westminster, requesting that
would take the chair, at a meeting intendedlto be held for the pur-
pose of considering what, under the distressing circumstances in
which a recent misfortune has placed us, is the most advisable to
be done.

I lose no time in expressing my readiness to accede to the requisi-
tion, and in assuring the electors of IVestininster. that I consider it
is pleasure, its well as a duty. to obey their call whenever they judge
me capable of rendering them any service.
With respect to the cause, the sad cause, which has created the
necessity of a fresh struggle for the independence of Westminster, it
would not be proper for me to suy inure at present, titan that I share,
with every honest heart, in the common grief; an event b 0 unlooked
for and overwhelming brings home at once to our bosoins the poignant
anguish of private affliction, and a deep ~ense of public calamity.
I remain, Gentlemen,
Your most obedient and very humble servant,
(Signed) FRANCIS BURDETT.
