British Constitution. This is the real fact, no matter
how the Tories may seek to disguise it under the fic-
tion of a modified Conservatism.

But though the Tories are making the most stre-
nuous exertions to defeat HUME ill Middlesex,
and though his friends, relying too much on their
own strength, and the intelligence and patriotism
of the electors, are wanting in that activity which we
deem requisite to secure the complete triumph of the
liberal cause; yet we by no means despair of obtain-
ing a glorious victory. The patriots that cheered on
HUME to wring a Reform Bill from the proud Aristo-
cracy of England—the public spirit that supported
him through all his contests with the rotten Borough-
mongers, are not yet extinct. The Reformers we have
no doubt will do their duty i❑ Middlesex. To have
the Metropolitan County represented by a Tory—by a
protegee of the King of HANovza—would be a
disgrace to which we cannot believe them capable of
wilfully submitting—and wilful must be their submis-
sion should either WOOD or PowNALL be returned.

The poll commences to-morrow. There is, there-
fore, not an instant to be lost. The Reformers, to
make sure their triumph, should crowd to the polling
booths as soon as they are opened in the morning. The
delay of an instant is important, as the most trifling
advantage gained by a candidate in the beginning will
decide the votes of the waverers and trimmers. Let
the slogan of the Reformers be—" HUME and no
Orange conspiracies!"--" HUME and the QUEEN!"
—" HUME and no Corn-laws !"—" HUME and the
Ballot !" In the triumph of Mr. HUME, the nation
will receive the only evidence that is now wanted of
the utter falsehood of the Tory cry of reaction. Men
of Middlesex, now is the time to prove you arc in-
capable of committing an act of political apostacy—
an act of the basest political ingratitude. Spurn the
emissaries of CUMBERLAND—mark your horror of
the tre: son, and your detestation of the despotism of
their Chief, by returning your tried, your trusty Re-
presentatives, BYNG and HUME, by an overwhelming
majority. ,

The County Elections have afforded one or two in-
stances of gain to the Tories, about which their party
organs are making as Vociferous a cackling as if these
were to turn the scale in their favour. They very
carefully omit to mention every case i❑ which an at-
tempt to foist in a Hanoverian has been defeated, nor
are they particularly communicative when the ques-
tion is about the means by which their trifling
successes have been obtained. We heat nothing of
the grinding tyranny exercised over the reluctant serf—
the miserable being who is driven to the poll—just as
his master's horse is driven into his stable—as if he
was created for no other purpose than to minister to
the pride or pleasure of a heartless aristocrat. We
are not told of the threats of destruction rowed against
the tradesman and the mechanic, if they dare to
assert the privilege of freemen according to the spirit
of the laws and Constitution of their country ; nor
is a word said about the bribery by which, in every
borough where a Tory has made good a lodgement, the
electors have been corrupted, and induced to violate
their own sense of right, as well as to betray the cause
of their country—no Tory trumpeter proclaims, for

ingance, the monstrous fact, that no less than tweatg
fire thou.and pounds were spent at Norwich to turn
tl:e scale against the upright part of the constituency.
All this is blinked by your so-called " Conservative,"
who gives it out that his only instruments of success are
" principle" and " re-action !" whereas his sole prin-
ciple is to stick at nothing, and his re-action a
triumphant return of Reformers, in spite of the stick-
at-nothing principle, from—degraded Liverpool alone
excepted—all the populous cities and towns in Eng-
land and Scotland !

The few instances of defeat which have already
occurred on the Liberal side in the counties, might,
we verily believe, have been prevented by earlier and
greater exertion on the part of the Reformers. In East
Surrey this was notoriously the case, where a
poor, sniffling, obscure creature of a Tory was allowed
to wriggle himself into the representation on the back
of the former Member by the apathy of the Reformers,
when with proper exertion both these worthies would

have been sent adrift. In West Norfolk a similar or
worse result is to be apprehended from the state of the
first day's poll, unless the Liberals bestir themselves
and show more energy than they have hitherto done.
The Liberal strength is here greatly superior to that of
the Tories, and therefore defeat is utterly inexcusable.
But the election which is most important of all, and
upon which the public attention is therefore most
anxiously fixed, is that of Middlesex, which comes
on to-morrow. If erer the electors of the metropoli-
tan county were called upon to act with a single eye to

the interests of the great cause of Reform, if ever there
was a moment when all personal consequences were to
be disregarded, and principle rendered triumphant at
every hazard, the present is that moment. No man
must now hold back from the support of Mr. HUME
on any pretence whatever ; for it is in the person
of the honest, long-tried, and fearless cham-
pion of the people's rights—the exposer of Tory
oppression, fraud, and peculation—the denouncer and
detector of the treason of their Chief, that the
Tories are aiming a deadly blow at the cause of Reform.
Let the Reformers then crowd to the poll to-morrow
—let them throw aside everything else, and by their
earl!' efforts—by their promptitude as well as energy
—show at once that Mr. HUNIE, at all events, is to be
their representative in the new Parliament.

We are happy to announce to our readers that a
victory has been gained by the ousting of a Tory and
the return of a Reformer for the Flintsh ire boroughs.
The Liberal candidate, Mr. DUNDAS, had a majo-
rity of 198 over Mr. MosTYN, the Tory, notwith-
standing the effects of bribery to an incredible extent,
and the whole power of the Church, which Was en-
listed on his side. The Dean of St. ASAPII
came down with a largo sum ; and the Vicar of
Flint, after nominating the favourite of the Church,
appeared in the character—highly becoming a clergy-
man, no doubt—of agent for his nominee at the poll-
ing ;booths. A determined spirit, most honourable
to the Reformers of the Flintshire boroughs, has been
displayed in this arduous contest.

In another part of The Sun will be found a copy
of Sir FRANCIS BURDETT'S famous Address to the
Westminster Electors, on the subject of the blood shed
by wholesale on the field of Peterloo. Men of
Wiltshire, compare this Address with that which
the apostate Baronet has lately thought fit to
outrage your common sense. " Look on this
picture, and on that." Mark the fine, bold,
and generous spirit, that breathes throughout the
one ; and the shuffling—the inconsistency—the do-
ting, maudlin imbecility—that characterise the other.
Here you see the high-minded Patriot ; there, the
truckling renegade. In the one case the writer is all
for the liberties of the people. In the other, he is all
for the privileges of the Tories, their sworn opponents.
In 1819 he could endure to speak of " Hanoverians"
with contempt, as being a race of slaves ; in 1837, he
can connect himself with the party, the avowed head
of which is at this very moment busily engaged in
still further curtailing the rights of these same Ha-
noverians ! "Is this England ? This a Christian
land—this, a land of freedom ?" he indignantly asked
hi 1919. In 1837 he does his best to prevent it from
being either Christian or free, by allying himself with
the most intolerant and tytannical of English factions.
And this is the man, electors of North Wilts, who now

dares to come forward and claim your suffrages, on the
plea that he is still unchanged I Who tells you that
he is still attached to the principles of Reform, yet
sits side by side with GRAHAM the Apostate, and
PEEL the Trimmer? Is it possible that you can place
the slightest faith in the professions of such a man ?
No ; you will reject him with every mark of obloquy
and contempt. You will tell him that the candidate
who aspires tolthe honour of representing you, must
have principles like your own—be steady, firm, and,
above all, consistent in his conduct. Elect Sir ,
FRANCIS BURDETT, and there is not a right-
thinking man in the community but will cry
shame on you ! You will be everywhere regarded as
men who have betrayed the sacred cause entrusted to
your keeping. Were the Hon. Baronet merely a luke-
warm, doubtful Reformer, but withal conscientious,
there might be some little excuse for your choice
of him ; but he is an apostate of the rankest dye
—of the most gigantic proportions—whose powers
of mischief are only neutralized by his extreme feeble-
ness of understanding. Again and again, then, we
repeat—kick out this unblushing renegade, and show
that you are worthy to be looked on as a free and en-
lightened constituency.

The Paris papers of Monday do not contain a syl-
lable of news, domestic or foreign, of any interest. No
telegraphic dispatches had been received from the
Spanish frontier, but the accounts, though vague, were
favourable to the QUEEN. The following extracts
are from the Journals :
We have a letter from Toulon of the 27th, which says,
" The Sphinx steam-boat, Captain Demargue, is ordered to
put to sea with all speed. It is said that it 3-oes direct to
Bona with despatches to Lieutenant-General Damremont,
who is supposed to be now at that place. According to letters
written by persons who have good opportunities fur knowing
what is going on, it should seem that General Darnrcmont is
commissioned to negociate peace with Achmet Bey. Parleys
have already taken place, notes have been exthangel—cvery-
thing indicates that Tunis is the city which has been chosen
for the signing of the treaty if the parties should come to an
agreement which cannot fail to happen."—Le Constitutionnel.
La Sentinelle des Pyrenees turns to the subject of M.
Aguado's loan. It says—" We learn from good authority
that the Queen's Government has at length succeeded in con-
tracting for a loan of 250 millions of francs. M. Aguado,
in conjunction with other English houses, furnishes the funds
under the guarantee of England. A correspondent at Toulon
sends us further details respecting the situation of our troops
in Africa.
" The communications between several points occupied by
our troops becomes more and more difficult. Thirty civil
officers were lately sent to Guelma ; it was necessary to send
two squadrons of cavalry to escort them, and they would not
have been safe, if the 5,000 horsemen of Achmet Bey had met
with them. This circumstance has led to a determination to
wait for the troops from Oran, to send to Guelma the artillery
equipages, cassoons, &c., which are crowded together out of

the town.
The Governor-General is expected var) shortly; he will
doubtless arrive as soon as the reinforcements come from Oran,
in order to make strong reconnoissances.
The accounts from Constantina represent that city twice
as strong as at the time of the 11..5t expedition. More pieces
of cannon have been placed before the gate of El Cantara,
and the city is well stocked with all kinds of ammuciition and
provisions. Achmet has the command of nearly the whole
coast ; only one vessel goes from Bona to Tunis every• fcrt-
night, and there is nothing to hinder small craft from landing
clandestinely arms and gunpowder. Two batanai4les have
been sent us within these few days to guard the coast ; they
will be very useful, but we should have at least six, to pre-
vent smuggling on a coast fifty leagues in extent.
The Acheron is gone to Tunis, with despatches for the
French consul, who, it is said, is ordered to buy horses ; but
it is thought that it is intended to negociate peace through the
medium of the Bey of Tunis.—Le Commerce.

THE QUEEN.—On Friday evening, as her Majesty,
accompanied by her Royal Parent, was leaving Buckingham
Pala( e to take their usual evening airing, a respectably dressed
middle-aged man was observed to throw something into the
carriage. lie was immediately seized by two of the sentinels
on duty at the Palace, and given over to the custody of police
constable Brown, of the A division, who conveyed him to the
stition-house, where he gave his name Count Dernski. Upon
im was found the copy of a petition in French, addressed to
her Majesty, soliciting relief, stating that he had served in the
French army under Napoleon Bonaparte, and was now in a
state of great destitution. On her Majesty's returning to the
Palace she immediately gave orders to Sir Frederick Watson
that the man should be set at liberty until inquiry could be
made into his case.

cake he sent us, and his fortune be exemplified in one of its
plums.
