Mr. R N G then addressed the Meeting. 'He that'll:-

lie„ knew it was in the power of the Independent
'Ele6tors of :Middlesex; if he .reAsessed their favour,
to return him, notwithstanding every effOrt which
might be made against them. At all events, be had
at least effeaed one objea, which deserved their ap-
probation. He had excluded a number of per-
sons w ho, from parochial situations which they
held, claitned votes for the County, thereby
infringing on, the rights of. the tiiir Eleaors.—
It was not a seat in Parliament which be was
so anxious to obtain, as to add to, and prote&,
elle rights and independence of the Eleaora. If he
had contributed in 'Any shape to this desirable object,
he felt recompenced for any extraordinary trouble
occasioned to himself. He. must now intrude on the
patienee of the Electors, while be noticed some at-
tacks made on him, and narrated in the Papers Gf
this day, which, if he were now to pass unnoticed,
it might never be in his power in any shape to r. ni-
inadvert on. At a Meeting of the friends of Sit' S.
Hood, yesterday, at Willis's Rooms, .M.r. Sheridan
bad charged him with detesting those many brave,
men with whom our Navy abounded, and of whom
be confessed Sir S. Hood to be nee ; suppressing,
notwithstanding, as he (Mr. Sheridan) would have
it be believed; in 'the true spirit of charity, his
(Sir Francis &idea's) name: If this was cha-
rity in the conception of Mr. Sheridan, his
heart and disposition must be. very ditterently
formed from. those of the generality of mankind;
for if was impossible for a rpoment to doubt of the
objeel of his allusion. If so, however, that quality
which in the,minds of other men displayed the milk
of human kindness, must in his produce the gall of
bitterness. To suppose that he did hold the brave
men alluded to in detestation was as foolish, how-
ever, as it was uncharitable. Who that could think,
Nstould for a moment suppose that he had not more
at stale. in this Country than the Right Hon. the
Manager of Drury-lane Theatre. Mr. Whitbread,
with a corresponding degree of charity, had allowed
him to be- a person of an honest .heart, and of
good intentions,- but at the same time described
him as a fellow of so little sense, that' he did not
know his own mind, or where be was going. Sup-
posing this, however, to be the case, he was one
doubtedly still preferable to Mr. 'Whitbread, or to
Mr. P. Moore, another of his calumniators.. The
pace to which they would wish to go he could be
at no loss to find out. The former would have no
objeaion to go into a Peeiaee, or into a good place,
or both. To the latter, a place wee the most de-
sirable thing in the world. Therefore, wherever he
(Sir F. B.) was going, whether he himself or the
Electors of Middlesex knew where he was going,
tits views could not be more interested or more
suspicious . than those of his caltenniators. That
same Gentleman, Mr. Peter Moore, however, had
charged- him with being a turncoat. He con-
fessed this charge surprised him. 'He might be ac-
cused, as he had been, of entertaining sentiments.of
too free and undefined a kind, but he had hoped that
a charge of tergiversation or derelielion of those prin-
ciples which he had once maintained, would never
be urged against him. Neither, however, couldMr.T.
Sheridan .abstain from adding . his calumny to the
others with which he (Sir F. Burdett) bad been load-
ed. He stated, so universal was the Odium the late
declaration of his sentiments had occasioned, thatdds
friend, Capt. Halliday. had withdrawn from him his
countenance, and kloally been employed in canvass-
ing for his opponents. This Sir Francis-could say was
not the feet. He had seen Mr. Halliday yesterday,
at which time no such revolution in the sentiments
of that Gentleman, Whom he had always regarded as
bis steady and independent friend, had even been
hinted. But, though he had not seen him since, so
much did he rely: on the friendship and good will of
Mr. Halliday, aid So much did he know of the esti-
that!oe in which that honourable and worthy Gentle-
?eau held Ida priiiciplea, that he could assert, the al-
legation- was utterly unfounded. Hexing thus no-
ti:,•ed the calumnies thrown out against him, as be
presumed to think, in the most unbecoming and
unjustifiable mariner,. he should say little in addition.
He only called on the Gentleman who stood highest.
on the Ped, to state what were the principles on
which he asked the support of 'the Ele6lors of.
Middlesex, and by which he should a& if re-
turned one of their Reptesentatives. For him-
self, notwithstanding all the insinuations, all- the
calumnies, falsehoods, and misrepresentations which
had been 'openly thrown out, or secretly urged
against him,; he declared himself to be a firm.,
inflexible, and newer to be shaken friend to the Brie/
tish Constitution, as by law established. The prin,
ciples which he professed, he knew to be those of
the Constitution, and they alone could save the
country from the perilous situation in which it was
at present involved.—Sir F. retired amidst loud tip-
s
plaeses. -
Mr. M2LLISH attempted to speak for some time
before he could procure a bearing. He then thanked
the EleCtors for their exertions on that day, which,
he hoped, they would continue, as be knew they
could do much more. As to his principles, he had
already told them be should make no professions.
' He. begged-leave, however, to assure them they
-*honid at least have an independent 'Weather.
The Meeting was immediately adjourned.
