courtiers, and he knew they would go on to a tri-

loilliant luminaries, Sir Francis Burdett mid Sir
S tome' nomilly, as their representatives im the
House of Commons. lie looked forward to Mou-

Mr. (ISLE JON ES, Slier some ineffect nal attempts,
was heard its parts of a very long address to the
meeting. He called their attention to what had
Hot escaped it—the personal quarrel that hail taken
place between Mr. Hunt and Mr. Cleary. Mr.
Hula had, he said, the spirit to meet any person who
individually opposed him. upon grounds with which
his duty to the public did not interfere.—(A ow-
nsi cry het, arose intimating the strongest dunk of
the truth of tkis was an old trick
of party to provoke those on the opeonte side
to an irritation that would vela itself by a breach
of the peace. This was the object of those who
attacked Mr. Hunt.—([lane was saluted with nil
kind of epithets.)—Their object was to expose
him to the law, in order to destroy his .pieten-
sinus HS a Candidate.—(Laughter and groans.)--
What would be the consequeuve to society if such
a doctrine as this was eimiturN,sed, Bat a few days
ii4o Lord Castlereagh came to give his vote, and
%vas nut treated with much ceremony by the friends
of the popular Cuoihila tele UM, would it he

ceised if that Noble Lord or any of his friends Lad
thought it advisable to send a challenge to Huy of
those Gentlemen who atom! lures:lid for the
representation ?—(l4 That won't do, the man has
a white feather, Hunt has a white frathrr.")—
Ile was sorry for the personal quarrel that had oc-
curred, and lie thought it necessary to state, Mr.
Haut had teen much dissappoioted in not finding
the letter he had alluded to. That document
would, however, no doubt, be forthcoming on Mon-
day, to the shame of those who sent it.—(Great
disapprobation.)—Neither Mr. Hunt uor he were
afraid to meet any individual, from personal cousi-
deratioos, face to lace ; hut it slid not therefore fol-
low that Mr. hunt should he at the lash of every
insolent scoundrel, for taking notice of a challenge
nude, circnimainicea like the present.—((.'Ties of
" Brace I.'l—They could Hot know what to
believe: one day they were told that Sir F. Burdett
and S. Rumilly were united; another day they
were desired to vote for Sir Francis Burdett alone.
But Mr. Hunt stood alone. It would appear
as if all parties would sooner unite with the
devil I self than with that independent Gentle-
man, though his principles were known. Why
should Sir Fi antis Burdett alone monopolise all hes
your? He was always a friend to that Honourable
Baronet, and would be so still, were it not for the
pineiples upon which the F.lection proceeded. They
wanted an independent Member in Parliament,
who would open the red-book and expose its con-
tents. It might well he called the red-book,
while the outside blushed for the inside. Could
it he believed that while Bonaparte was at war with
this country, his friend the King of Wirtemberg,
drew from the pockets of Englishmen four thou-
sand pounds a year, in consequence of his marriage
with tlw Princess Royal of linglond ? The Mat-
s:ais of Anglesey also received a pension, though he
had an income of one million sterling a-year from
his mines and other sources. Mr. Freemantle,
Viltig, was Clerk of the Kitchen, hut yet he had
the Quven to dine with him some time bock : such
were. the Anises he wished to see removed. He
would not detain them longer, but take his leave
lot the present.
At the eosielusi tttt of Mr. Jones's speech, Mr.
ELLIOTT, who, it will be recollected, was Chair-
man at Mr. Huist's nommation, and who has been
