Sir F. BUR DEITT' stepped forward, amidst the ac-
clamations.dti the people, and addressed the Meet—
ing. He Confessed, that if the Hon. Gentleman
near him. had been standing for the honour of be-,

ing eleEted to the office of a Privy (ouncillor or
Prirhe Minister to. some Prince, the qualification of
which he had shewn himself so truly sensible—TA-.
crru.RNITY-,--ought to operate as a grand feature in'

his favour. Standing, however, as-the .Candidate
for a populous and independent county, every man
in which had a right to know the, sentiments; qua-

lifications, and pretensions of the person who
cited- his support,. the worthy Baronet could not
forbear from thiniting-,,and from expressing his opi-
nion, that silence, or a disinclination to express the

feelings of his heart, could form no part or the re-commendation of such a Candidate. He trusted,

therefore, the lion. Gentleman would at length de-
clare his sentiments, and apprize the -Ele6tors in

what his merits consisted. 'He (the Hon. Baronet)
had declared his principles with explicitness, can-

dour, and openness. The triek, hoWeier, too com-
mon on such occasions, had been resorted to to in-
spire contrary opinions, regarding his sincerity,.into,
the minds of the people. Finding, their former,
watch-words of " the best of Kings," and " the
best of Patriots," exhausted, his calumniators had
chosen a new term, " the best of. COnstitutions

to which, equally with the other two,.the4 would
present him as inimical. Their condua in this respe&

reminded him of a fable he had fead of a city pas-

sessed of a watchtilL dog, who gave the inhabitants'
timely notice of the approach of -a number of.
thieves by whom their neighbourhood was infeSted.

The thieves, however, who were more cunning
than the inhabitants of the • city, contrived to im-,
press theM with an idea that the dog wa's-of no real
use, bit only disturbed their night's. rest by the
noise which he occasionally., raistd. The inhabi-
tantse seduced by this representation, killed the dog,
and the thieves soon after' effected their purpose.
§Lich, he had no doubt, was the nature Of the at-:
tempt of the COalition-againSt him (Sir Francis) ;
but he bad too Much confidetice in the good sense.
of the inhabitants oftlns County, and of the king-
dom in general, to suppose for a' moment that their.
atteMptis at undermining him; who had•always been
their friend, in the estimation of the public, could
Succeed. Jie had never disguised his sentiments on
constitutional-points, and he now meant to repeat
them: He was a. friend, and a strenuous friend,
to tlie just,* and equitable influence of the
Crown ;
,and he was, an equally zealous sup-
pot-F.er of, the fair, equal,. and independent Re.
presentation .of the _ People in Parliament. s
did noti:svish to see the King reduced tcei
of :shreds and patches—to a man of strN. 'fie -
wished to see him exercising; and at litirty to ex*
ercise, his just prerogatives for the bent.'-flt of his,
people ; not that he should be seized upon, and
should .become the. property of an
,infamous
tion, who should a 6.1. in his nameeand usurp his au-
thority.
The people, on the ether hand, he was of
opinion, should have their constitutional privileges
also : that they should have the power of choosing
their own Representatives, wlitS.Vnght serve to them
as a shield in the time 0( danger.- He did not de-.
sire to put a sword into the hand of the peoi le,,but
to possess them of a shield to ptoted theitiseives at
any time; or at pll times, when their liberties
likely to beinfringed on. This could only be effed-
ed by an eqUal representztidn in Parliament. Such
he: profeSsed himself eager to obtain ; but still,
agreeably to the' idea 'of the 'Constitution, he wished
triat the influence of the Crown, and the shield
granted to the people, should be. proportioned
each'uther. In the manifeetO of the -coalesced
parties, handed to higi (for he could consider Mr,
Whitbread's letter in no other light) he (Sir francis)
was charged with not entering sufficiently into par
titulars. The particular causes. of complaint
he had to urge, in which the exhausted resbirrces
of the ;Country Were prostituted to the. support 'oe .
some family or political influence, were so numere
ous; and of soaggravated a kind, that the time which.
• the Mewing -had to spare on such an inquiry was'
infinitely too little to mention an hundredth part of
them, nor could they all be comprehended within,
any reasonable space. He should, however, mention.,
a few. He complained, in • the first place, of the
profligate expenditure of many thousand 'pounds_
annually of the public money on an office held by.
the. Marquis of Buckingham, as Teller of the Ex-
chequen,-an office declared by King; Lords, and
Commons, to. be Unnecessary, and the, continuance..
of which, therefore, could only' be considered as
the effect of undue ministerial influence, being, as
it clearly was, a gross and scandalous mieapplica
tion of money extraaled froM the 'bowels. of the'
people. He, again, complained that another office'
of great emolument, and Of no 'labour (Auditor
of the txchequer), was held by -the Noble Marquis's
brother, Lard Grenville er-the
,duties of which
might be discharged more'to"- the advantage of the
public, for fewer htindreds than the Noble Lord had
thousands for his imperfeci discharge of
complained that the trifling -4th* even. which this
Office required; had been so grossly negleCted by.
. the Noble. 'Lord, that in Consequence of an otnis-
' sion Of 'his a great public delinquent, Mr. Asiett, of
the Berik,ll'ad ben suffered to escape: This he did
I. not Plow. state • for' the :first. time. 'He had himself
publicly corriTtlsitied in Parliament against- the No-.
ble Lord fur his impreper conand iii this p4tichiai;;
hut Parliament not only did not: think him descry-
ing of censure, but even passe&aie Act; liberating
him from Any 'responsibility in time Coining
..He..
• complained also, that during the exisiaee of the, .
present Ministry ;an Ad .ha"o')*en itasSed '41E1167 „
rising this same Lord Orenvilfelo hold two offices,,
the fitir and due execution of: which were.,incom-
patible with each other. He had been;anthorised.
to hold. the office, of test' Lord of the Treasury,
while, at the same tune, he continued, to retain
khe more lucrative sinecure of Auditor of his own
;Account's. These were some I of! ;the particulars
which-fit cdnld have stated—enativotners, how-
ever, 'eqteilly grievous, reniainJd behind. In thig
