11/7IDDLESEX ELECTION.

-

Yesterday the Poll began at a little after nine, and
st four. the numbers. were-cZst upe when there ep-
reared : -
For Mr:MELListi - - - 431
Mr Byt,; - - -
Sir F. BuRDETT•
Mr. BYNG first came ferwaidlo return his thanks
for-the support he had received, and to re-
quest a continuance of thosee4ertions. His speech
was interrupted by such- lotid;*amours and cries of
.Off, off, that finding he "cotanot obtain a hearing,
Ile bowed, and retired.
Sir FRANCIS BURDETT next addressed the crowd.
He said he should detain them bit fora few minutes.
• He returned his sincere'thanks for the support he.
had already received, upon those principles forwhieh
alone he had claimed their sup Port. Notwithstand-
ing the inunbers which appeared against him upen
the poll of this day, he could not persuade' himself
that the, spirit of the County was so dead as that his
opponents should be long permitted to retain the su-e
reriprity they had'acquired this day. He expeCted
that the independent spirit of the County would still
rouse itself, and-place him at the head of the poll.
.4keall events' it should be no fault of his if the
indePendeut interest of the county ,N(raS not stsc7
cegsfal : he Was determined. to stand or fall by the
independent interest ; and, to give it every chance
of. succeeding, he was resolved 'to , keep-- the poll
open'to the last minute 'thet the law wet'ld allow
fapplauses). The, poll had been .-unusually slack
this Jay. The other two Candidates]- had riot
polled near 'as many as he had ;.birnself, polled
on- the first Clay of the farmer Elee3ion, - and
therefore he. did not consider this day .s
poll
as the -slightest criterion to ju;lge of the probable
result of alvi's contest. He hoped that at Yeast flee
Sint zeal which bad manifested itself on the fort
mer poeasioes, would be displayed- on the p'rese'nt,
and that it would be successful. There were many
reasons which operated:to produce the ntifavour-
able appearance' of this day's poll. The first Was,
that, ehe Eletc,-tion of Westminster engaged a number
olf his friends, who had taken part, some
,on the
one side and some on the other. He, hoped, how,-
ever, tleat when that contest should be determined,
they weeld come forward w:th spirit' and, zeal.
That however that might. turn ant, whatever sup-
poet he might receive, - whether it was great or
little, still they-should always find him a man who
preferred the interests of the people. England
to anv selfish objedg. of hiS own, and whO only
desired-1 seat that he might be able the better to
promote their Interests. He was not at all dis-
couraged by the appearance of the day's 'poll, and
bad no doubt but that, in the issue of the contest,
the independence .of the County would be fully
established.--e(rery bad applause.)
MreMeetasta said, that he should not attempt to
address them at that late hour, when, it was nearly
- dark, and most of therp were fatigued and hungry ;
lie thought the sooner they -returned to their' homes
the -better..
The Court then adjourned ; and the Sheriffs,
CAUdtdates, and their Friends returned to town.—
, Tie populace, although mostly .in favour of Sir
Feaycis BURDETT, were not so tumultuous and
riotous as they have been on former occasions, and
numbers of Mr.'2I4ELLISH'S and Mr. :BYNG's cock-
adeg :were -worn in the town of Brentford without
exposing theweareis to the slightest insult. Whe-
ther this comparative 'tranquillity proceeds from the
Weettninster EleCtion distra&ing the attention of the
populace, or whether it is owing to the.circumstance
of Sir FRANCIS not lavishing so ranch, money as
upon former eleetions, we are not to, deter.

snob a charge,-Mr. Sheridan declared, he had effec-
tually done so in seleCting him. If there was a per-
sOn in the kingdoM who could bald in detestation
the defender of their country, he- unquestionably
was not the person—but one determined rather -to
venerate their persons and services. He 'had not
till the present Eleaion. known Sir Ornuel Hood.
He had heard of him, however ; and, though be
kneW triat there were names equal, he knew that
there was not one superior to it in the British Navy.
If there was a min in this :country, in Parliament,
or out of it, inclined to chew his admiratiOn of the.
character and merits of our-Naval Cothrnanders, he
Was that person. He had not been present when
the gallant Commodore complimented him on his
conduct during the Mutiny in the Navy. Nothing,
however, could be more gratifying to him than to.
learn, that his conduft on that: occasion had been
approved, not by Sir Samuel Hood atone, blit :by
almost every Officer in the Navy.: .He treated with
contempt the opinion of Mr. Paull on this subject.
If there 'was a. mart who could detest the brave de-
fender of his conntry, he must be sought amongst
those with whoM Mr. Paull himself associated---who
Said there was nothing in the countrrworth defend-
ing--who must e suppese.i .inctined to think so—
and who,: if they maintained such an opinion,.with-
out believing it, must naturally, be supposed capable
of detesting those Defenders of their'countrywhom
'it was their business to calumniate. Such it harac=
ter, unquestionably, could be sought no where 'but
"among those Who were prepared to overturn the
Country, He hoped sincerely there were no such
men ; but he declared that the dread of then," or the.
ccrtainty of,their existence,. should never intimidate
him, but that he should be ready, at all times, and by
every means in his power, to meet them face to
face, and, he trusted, tolcowbat and overpower
them. The- present coolest was esteemed to' be. of
considerable importance ; nut its importance did-not
consist in this=if he or the other person should be
Member for WestminSterhut if the principtes which
he professed,, or 'those proleSsed by hisi_opponent,
were to have the preference at the eyes 63 tae. Elec-
tors of this'great City ? This was a Momentous and
a most perilous crisis : A period at which one tyrant
had over-run. the whole Continent of Europe, and
one iu which nothing was left for this Country but to
employ our best energies to repress the evil, so- far
as lafin our power : and to thank Gcdfor the Navy
we possessed, by 'witich eaiamlties might be
averted from these favoured shores. Burdens,' un-
questionaoly, yin thecourse of the contest, we would
have to bear, and taxes we must submit to. But
we had examples before us, in the person of-the Gal-
lant Commodore, of the necessity, nay of the beauty,
of submitting to deprivations for our Native Coun-
try. Let us curtail'our superfluities • let us, with
unwounded hearts, as -that Gallant Officer would-do,
resolve to face our Enemy, and to-preserve the Throne
and lodependence'of our Country, or' to perish in
the contest. .
Mr. Sheridan's speech was received with enthusi-
astic bursts of .applause:
The CH-AIRMAN then gave. the Health of the
" Prince of Wales ;" which was drank With three
times three.
Mr. T. SHEI4DAI!I was called on for a song, when
he gave

Scots, wha wiWillace bled,"

with great effeit.
sOn the motion _of Mr, Yontio, the healths of the
two favouriteCaiiidates, having been drank separate,
were again drank together, during whic,h Aline Sir S.
Hood and Mr. Sheridan manifested their cordiality'
in the sentiment by enthusiastically shaking nand's in
front of the Chairman.
Sir S. Hbod proposed the health of Col. Elliot, the
Chairman which was-drank with three times three.
-The CHAIRMAN then proposed the health • of Mr.
Whitbread and-the Independent EleetorS of Bed-
fdrd, with thanks to Mr. Whitbread for his Letter
to. Sir F. Burdett. This toast being given with dis-
tinguished approbation,
Mr. WHITBREAD returned his best thanks to the
Meeting, for the honour they had done him, and
particularly for their approbation of the Letter which
he had written to Sir F. Burdett, entirely ientporei=
on 'the receiptbf a letter from Sir Francis, soliciting'
hit suffrage. He felt no hesitation in saying, that
'at the time of the Dissolution of Parliament, 'he bad
it in hi 4 contemplation that Sir F. Burdett would be
the Representative; for Middlesex, and he had a sa-
7tisfaetion ill thinking • so,
,belieiing, as he still did,
that Sir Francis meant well.—When, however, the
Hon. Baronet had' expressed himself in-the manner
every Gentleman present knew he had, in his ad-
dress, and.when he called on him (Mr. W.) :on the
• grounds contained in that address alone, it was im-
passible for him (Arr. W.) not to withdraw from Sir
Francis Burdett his support:
After several other toasts, it was agreed that each
Member present should exert himself to bring up a
given•number of votes to-morrow. And the iV4:et-
. ing adjourned till Thursday, at the Crown and An-
chor‘: •
