REMARKS.

Burke in this fighiVis---p;O;ed himself a bottom
man and good fighter, rod, had not any accident
happened, would to all appearance have fought
some time longer. Randall was greatly admired
iii his step*. which were exaellent, but lie breined
rather puzzled how to get at his antagonist, on ac-
coult of the length, height, &c. of Burke. In
several rounds they were two or three minutes before
a blow was struck. A great deal of liogia&os-
rimed. which occasioned much disapprulatiou.
Randall had scarcely a *crutch.

A numerous meeting of the Freemen of the City
of York, Mr. Maws' Atl no the Chair, was held
yesterday at the Lundua Cultre-huttac, Ludgate-
hill, *heal it was resolved unaaiusuusly. that the

MR. HUNT'S VISIT
TO ST. MARGARET'S. ST. J tMES'S, AND
Sr. GEORGE'S.

Yesterday, et half-pest twelve &Hoek, Mr. Hint, purulent
to public soniiiiiicenient, attended in Palace-yard to meet
the Elector of the City of Westminster. In the hackney-
coachl.which peecedell him were !Mr. Carlisle, and (we believe)
Mr. Hunt's bailiff, and they carried a large red dug, which
upon oar aide hail painted in large gilt characters, " Haat
and Liberty r. and upon the oases, `• Universal Sulrraper.
About two hundred persons &Mewled him in Palace-yard.
The Orator rose amidst considerable applause. Ile ad-
dressed his hearers as " Fellow-comitrymrii"—Not having
the means or the inclioati .... to bribe Churchwardens, she
Collector, of Poor's Rates, Kings Taxes, Officers of Cus-
toms or Exch.', he hail adapted the ancient end
eunsliiu-
lionsl mode of slug the Electors of Westminster, by
visiting them in their respective parishes. A great deal lied
been urged against him and his party in the public print.,
and amongst those who had Wien a pronaineut share in
vlllt-
fying his character was Ur. Slop, and he had nu doubt but the
proceedings of this day would be mangled and misrepresented
in the Papers to-morrow; still, however, lie should have an
opportunity of every day contradicting the mistatements
that weight appear. He should do every thing he could to
compel the attendance of the other candidates upon the bust-
Jags; at the same time he knew that they would keep from
the hustings, because they would hove questions put to them
by the Electors of Westminster relative to their conduct in
Parliament, and the line of conduct they should hereafter
pursue, that they would not be able to answer, at least satis-
factorily. He recollected upon one occasion,wheu Mr. Fox,
the political Mountebank, was a Candidate for Westminster,
he had occasion to go how Surrey to vote for a particular
friend, and in kis absence, Mr. Sheridan, to whose tektite, wit,
.and humour be looked with the highest aden.ration, offi-
ciated upon the hustlers for him. Thor the M ..... Ile-
bank deputed the Merry-Andrew to act fur him—and he
(Mr. Hunt) was fearful this would be the murk pursued by
souse of the other Candidates un the present ncca.iou, be-
cause they were fearful they could nut answer the questions
that would be propounded to thens•.(Appfaitse and In *Oder).
—I fhe should have the honour uf being returned to Parliament
for the City of Westminster, the first thin he should do in
that corrupt House would be to take steps to repeal the Corn
Bill, or lie would rather call it the Starvation Act.—(Ap-
p/aure.)—Although, as an agriculturist, he should be a suf-
ferer fin so cluing, yet all he wanted was to secure the right,
of the pour part of his fellow-creatures.—(Loud applause)
—lt bad been slated by the venal press, that he was the
author of riot and disturbance ; but he would fearlessly
slate, that nothing had resulted from any of his proceed-
ings which could in the remotest degree •uthorixe such
an observation. He had met the 'maple for the pur-
pose of alleviating their sufferings. Having descanted
generally upon the Borough-mongering helloes. and
the misrepreseetation of the people, he said he should pro-
ceed to Waterloo-place to have a little conversation with his
friends there, and without meaning the slightest insult to Ins
Royal Highness the Prince Regent, if he condescended to
put his head out of the window of Carlton-house, he might
bear some impoi tent truths—such as en English. to
would not hesitate to utter—and such as a Prince ought
sot to be ashamed to bear. He thanked the populace
fur their attentions, and proceeded, amidst partial accts.
matiosi, up Parliament...reel, and to Waterloo-place, where
he arrived about half-past one o'clock, by which time
the spectators bad become much more numerous mid
far more respectable. lie took off his bat, aud hav-
ing bowed to the multitude, proceeded to harangue
them in a similar strain of eloquence. If be had the boomer
of being returned to Parliament, although be admitted that
the Royal Family should be supported consistently with their
dignity, Ise would never give Isis vole for the allowance of
the imamate sum of one million and • half for the Civil
List. The Prince Regent drew from the pockets of the
people—from your pockets, Gcullenica, no less a sum than
one million a half last year.
A person in the mob—" That is not true."
Another—" That is false."

Mr. Hour—" You are a scoundrel.—(Lasighter and ap-
p/anie.)—l say, Sir, you are a scoundrel, nhoever you are;
but I know you must be a tailor—you are either one of the
Prince Regent's tailors, ur oue of his cooks."—(Lail op-
plausc.)—Some of the populace manifested a desire to chas.
lice this " free-thiuker," and surrounded him fur that pur-
pose ; but Mr. Hunt said—" Come away, Geutleinen—eunte
away, my lads—he is only a tailor."--(Langhter )
Mr. HUIIT continued—The Prince Regent, the Chief
Magistrate of England, received out of the Civil List one
million and a half per year; but things were differently con-
ducted in the United States; the President of the United
States only received 6,0001. per autsusa.—(Applaure.)—Usiiiii
a recent occasion he hail beard Sir Francis Burdett say, that
he did not much mind the allowance to the Royal Family, as
it all came amongst the public again. " Yes! (observed
Mr. H.) and if a highwayman stops use on Hounslow-Heath,
puts a pistol to my left breast, and robs me of a 5/. note,
that comes back again." He would not be deterred from
speaking truths, although be was opposite the mansion of
Royalty. If every soldier in the world had his bayonet fixed
against his breast—if all the artillery in Englami was drawn
up with their cannon pointed at him, and both were to say,
" If ain repeat that observation, you are a dead nom," he
would, fearless of death, repeat it.—(Lord applause, nod
" Braes, (Mize* Bunt."")
—He should new proceed to talk
to his (livid. in St. George's.
The Orator's followers increased, and the cavalcade pro.
seeded along Pall-mall, up St. Jameed-street, along Purrs.
dilly, up Park-lane, down Oxford-street, Bead-street, and
into Hanover-square, where he addressed the populace in a
similar strain to that in which he addressed them in Palace-
yard and Waterloo-place. At the terminatiiiii of hie address
the spectators cried stood, " Hunt for ever—Bravo, Hunt.!"
&c. and his horses being taken from the chariot, be was
drawn by the populace to his house in Nurfulk-street, amidst
the most discordant vociferation,. He gave those who sur-
rounded hint to understand, that he would visit St. Anne's
sad other parishes in a similar way to•morrow (this day).
