leaurestiey are stare to receive when they get home
to-night.----s-(bersta of baghter.)--.Gentlemen, if. I " •
were to noticel all -the lies against me which
deuce and malice-have -put forth, and folly and ere.-.
'ability have taken up, in the course of this Eleaion,
I should only Waste my own breath, and insult your
attention. Among those wretched expedients, the
first 211 d 101.1deSt cry was, that at. a moment when
my present bitterest opponets assert,' that I might
have `bees -Chosen by the unanimous suffrages of you
all, -I 'deserted your cause, betrayed you: interests,
and turned you over, by some unworthy asempretnise,
to Earl Percy. Where a prejudice and cry is once
raised, there.is no use in struggling against it with
the ignorant; but I appeal to men of understand-
ings-4 appeal to Mr. 'Gibbons and Mr. Hewling
themselves, now a(iive in Mr. Committee,
<but My warm friends on the i sth of Sept.) whether
'they are notaaan- convinced that this charge, upon
which .so much clamour his been founded, was a
foul and impudent calumny ? I as'a them, whether
they do not know that at this' moment I have to re-
gret that I am not honoured by the Noble Duke's
support, though undoubtedly Mr. Paull has it not ;
nod I am confident his Grate would regard it 'as a
gross libel to insinuate, that Mr. Paull had even
pre
sumed to ask it ? The next lie I have to nonce, is a
pretended meetiu of Printers, declaring iiiltvouc
of my. Patillthis is a very ludicronS forgery—
the Press declare against the ! No, Gentlemen,
"there is not, there cannot be. a man, from the high-
est to the lowest, desiring the liberty of the Press,
or employed in its various occupations, that' is nut
my friend. ThrOtighout this bortekit, I have received
fronithe Editors of the Ditirnal publicatidus the most
ardent and generous support... I know they do not
ask or expea uiy thanks, for their suppport was'
given to 'nve on '. just and disinterested princi-
ples ; it is given -as that which is due to a man
who never in his life omitted a single occasion
to prove himself the resolute defender of the Liberty
of the Press—aye, Gentlemen, even of its licentiousa
ness; rather than.its restraint. This leads me to say
a word or two respeaing a Gentleman present, who
has in speech and writing taken a very libetal allow-
ance of both--I mean Mr. Cobbett.:, I have not read
it, but I take it
.for granted that I am plentifully
abused in his this day's Register. He is very welcome
to do so-s.-he may abuse me and my friends, and the
Government I'support—and any Government that
may succeed.—sand the Parliament I hope to sit in—
and every succeeding, Parliament ; nay only retort
or revenge shall be, that I will continue my efforts that
'he may not do. so with impunity. I will continue
my efforts that there never shall reign in this laud
any detestable tyrant, who, as in. the case of Palma
of Nurembiargh, shall put him to death for daring
to publish his opinion. Before I quit Mr. Cobbett
I will frankly say, thet_altheugh there is much in
his notions which I abhor, there is something in his
charaaer, which I respect. I detest and abominate
his endeavour to, establish that stupid and profligate
proposition, that such Men as you, whom I am now
addressing, would be relieved from burthens, and be
bettered in your conditions, by a violation of the
public faith to the Tuba: 'creditor. The fancy is
eqUally dishonest and. nonsensical. I doubt Mr.
Cobbett's being serious on this subject ; but what I
,resped in him is this :—He has,, by his own un-
assisted talents and energy, raised himself from a
very humble condition to a situation of respeci, re-
ception, and property ; and he has, the manliness
and good sense not to be ashamed to avow the faCti
that situation, which he has gained; that rank, that
reception and property, there is not cue among you .
who have it not in' your power to gain if you are
young, or for your sons, if you have passed the days of
your vigour and exertion. If this statement of mine
be true, as perceive by your applause you all feel
it to be, then allow me to turn from you for a mo-
ment to ask Mr. Cobbet—is this, or is it not, " a
condition of society worth defending ?" Yes, I say,
worth defending, by every man who has sense to
comprehend the blessings of our Constitution, and
spirit to defend it. From Mr. Cobbett I pass to
Mr. Paull. I know very little of him ; but I am
told be. is a very irritable person, and very scurri-
lous. This is foolish—he had better keep his tem-
per, because he will have occasion for it. Sintere-
ly,-I never listen to the things people endeavour to
tell me he has said against me on the hustings--I
know he has -the highest respect for me : he has
pledged himself to tlaiS in ,terms of extravavant
panegyric, in 'his address toyoss previous to Lard
Percy's eleaion. , Be means no real harm bywhat
he says. He has been told that every thing is fair
at art eleaion, and he is disposed to profit very la-
vishly by the admission : again I say he is welcome
to do so. He could not be opposed to an adversary
more inclined to make.every allowance for him. I
have myself met him more than oncent dinner in
Gentlemen's "society. I see you -stare, Gentle-
men, and seem astonished ; but I assure you it is'
a fad... No objection have I to its happening-again;
and then, prObably, will Mr. Paull tell me how far
from any to me he had aaed ; how 'great
was the regard-and high opinion he entertained of
me ; and then, for the, first time on the subjea of
this eleaion, shall-I be sure that Mr: Paull thinks
what he says. I conclude, Gentlemen,- earnestly
recommending-to you 'the. course of peaceable and
,orderly demeanor, which I have never ceased to hi-
cnlcate. We have sheWn
.:that no ruirian insqlence
could,dismay us in the hour of, seeming adversity ;
let us now prove that our moderation shall increase
with our success. And now, Gentlemen, I take my
leave of you, most gratefully acknowledging the
attention you have honoured kne with. But the.
same attention, I
.hope,, you will bestow on Mr.
Paull. It is said his speeches are very long ; but, as
I am told, there are those who remain to hear him,
I presume they are both instruaive and entertain-
ing : J .therefore, request you to remain and listen
to. him, Only excuse sty being of the party.L—(lt is
impossible to describe the genuine. bursts of laughter
and
.applause with. which this speeh was accompanied
andicondieleti.)
Sir Sasesfat. HOOD made a short but pertinent
speech. He •reetireed to his past stir vices, and
thought it would be inconsistent with the true cha-
ractcr of the people of England to exclude Officers
from that reward to which their ambition often a,pir-
ed:--he meant a seat in Parliament. He had no
doubt of his return, beeausethe kindness and parti-
ality of the Electors of We!itminsier had confirmed
his wishes, by placing him at the head of-the pail

but he thOught it incumbent Upson him to -speak pro-
spectivel, 5a fin- as regarded the honourable claims
of his Brother Officers after a series of long and suc-
cessful services. For the great kindness-of the .Elec-
tom of Westminster, in returning hitn,as their Repre-,
sentative in Parliament, he could not sufficiently ex-

press those feelings which opetated on his mind; but
he assured them, that whether on land or on sea,
he would never forget to use his utmost efforts in.
defeUce of the Rights and Liberties of the People of

England.
Mr. PAraL then came forward, and made a long
speech; He began by Observing, that his adversaries,
so far from having any thing like a-triumph, ought
to wear sackcloth and asheS,and sink into the-ground
with shame and confusion, when, on the 12th night
of the poll, with all the influence of the Court, and
of the Ministers, one of the Court Candidates was,
not able to obtain .a greater number over him. When.
they saw a-Candidate like,hiniself, who-had nothing
but his independence•to recommend him,,obtain the
votes of 402 t independent men, they had no great
cause. for
.triumphing in their paltry majority. He
said he then had in his hands documents to prove',
that the Treasurer of the Navy had first proposed a
coalition with him; and he spurned the proposal. He
did not mean to accuse Mr. Whitbread of falsehood:
on the contrary, he had a high respect for his cha.
racier.: but he was, sorry to see him standing by the
silo of a man whom he knew to be degraded and in=
famous—(an uproar thetrowd) . —lt had been pub.
licly stated by Mr:Sheridan, that he. (Mr. Paull)
had offered to coalesce with him. That was a gross
falstAtood : he neVer :offered any such thing.. It
was re-asserted 'on the preceding day by Mr. Sheri-
clan, who, though he knew into be false, had the
audacity to publish a note which he- (Mr. Paull) had
Written to Mr. Finnerty some time before the elec-
tion, for the pntpose of employing him as One
,of the
inspectors on the hustings.. That letter proposed no
Coalition, but; nerely stated that he, wished to avoid
any personalities or attack against Mr. sheridau. As
to Mr. Sheridan's expectation ofnieeting hit-n. 41 gen.
teel company, and receiving an apology from him,
he had tit) apology to' make to that degraded cha.
racter, who had played off so shameful a pan.
lomime at the Hustings, for the purpose of int,t
nufactnring vote; who had got too-ether: the
performers at Drarv-lane, and made them
hearse on the theatre the parts. they Were to aft
when they -should come, to vote at the busting::.
Edict-lions had been thfown out against him'on the
scare of his farn4 and connexions. All his enemies
could say.of him was, that he was the son of an ho-
nest tradesthan, and that . bad , raised himself
to independence by hiS industry. He gloried in hav-
ing risen 'in that Way. In that respect he considered
himself better J.hati to be the son of a
Player, and the creature of the Court, placed in a
Palace at the end of Catharine.street, with - a large
income given frOM the public pursea As to the
place-kunting MeMber for Coventry, it was no.won-!
der he took the part he did, as he was premised a
tuation of 10,00°1. a-year for his present exertions
at the hustings. As to, Mr. Whitbread, he hoPed
that Gentleman was not seeking to be sent to the
Hospital of "murales. He hoped the day would!.
come when that respetiable Gentleman would Itgairic
,plead the cause of-the People against the corruption;
of die Court. Mr. Paull then alluded to the &met
be had pent to Mr. Finnerty, and some conversa./
tiara passed between him and that Gentlenaan.--.;
He next told the People that he had a note frorti
the Honourable Thomas Coventry, informing him:
that the Keeper of -the King's Bench Prison had
been called on for every person in that Prison who
had votes for Westminster to be sent up to the
Hustings to vote- against him. But these unfortu-
nate men, recollecting the support he gave last
Session to the Insolvent Debtors' Bill, at a time
when all the popular Members deserted their post
in the House, adaly refused to a. man, to vote'
against one who Thad advocated their rights. With:
regard to the present contest, he had no doubt as to'
the' issue of it. There were yet 2000 Ele&ors un-
politic!, and out of these 800 respeolable shopkeepers
had promised to vote for him ; many of them un-
der threats of losing the custom of Mr. Whitbread,
Carlton-House,, &c. He trusted that Mr. Whit-
bread, seeing the conspiracy, fraud, and tyranny,
practised against .him, would; 'at last, come and
make an apology for the part he acted. He would
stand there to the last moment---and.if the contest
went against him on the Hustings, he would take'
measures to have all the scenes of perjury and fraud
practised there sifted to the bottom. Mr. Paull, in
the course Of his speech, expressed disapprobation
at the conduCt-of Mr. Finnerty, in making his letter
public.
Mr.' FINNERTY came forward and said; that he
felt himself bound, in justice to Mr. Sheridan, a•
well as to: his own charader, to publish the Letter
which Mr. Paull had written. to him. ,
