" Ever'sinc;e m lit acquaintance With Sir Fran-
cis lit.rdett, I have seen iit.him a strong and almost
ble inclination rp vt into Palimnent ;
tl e contrary, I. have seen in Mr. 'l'ooke an
tqually strong and a More commanding determina-
tion tp keep hint out of, Parliament. The 'predo-
minance; sometimes, 61 Sir inclifixtorift;
at sottietimes of M r. Tooke's influence, is the true
cause tyhy • we have seen Sir Francis slinetimes
conrting and sometimes withdrawing from eleCtion
contest,t; sonietinies expressing a wish to get. into
Parliament, and sorrietimes a determination Jo have
nothing .to do with- Parliament.
Neither the want of sticcess, nor:the ruinous
expeuce attending- his, Middlesex...strn4gles, 'abated
bis,wish for Parliament, though. they dimini,l:ed his
ability to get there by very expensive means. On
the contrary„,l am fully per4nacied
.that Sir Francis
Burdett would have offered himself- for any 'other
once, where there,was a popular eletion, it he had
not been restrained by the influence of Mr. l'oolte,
When Holiitou become vacant by Ur. Caivelidith

tradshaw's acceptance of a Place in May, 1806, he
had a strong inclination to become a candidate;.and,
nothing.but the notorious charaelee of that Borough'
.for venality, the shamed standing for such a cor--:
rapt place„ and Mr. Tooke's.persuasion, prevented
him : here 'too he would have accepted, but Would
not solicit. When the EleCtors of Westminster da-:
plated ine to, invite him to represent their City, in.
October last, and when there would have been no
expence, he had adually agreed ; and,
.as I have
stated, set oat with me from Busbridge for that ex=
press purpose; but the predominating -influence. of
Mr. Tooke induded him to alter his determination.
When the electors of Grampound invited him, in
March last, and when also he. would have'been re=
turned without any expence, he had made up his
mind, after a long conversation with me on the sub-
je&, to ACCEPT their offer ; but a ride to Wimble-
don, and a conversation with Mr. Tooke, again led
him to'decline : and he recommended Mr. Cochrane
-Johnstone in his stead."

THE AUTHOR'S nszAs OF THE FAMOUS CATEE'"
FELTO'S LETTER OIL THE 29TH APRIL, IN WHICH
SIR vRANcis ronnEvT ngetANEn TAKING THE
CHAIR AT THE CROWN AND ANCHOR.

Gentlemen, can any thing be more diSgusting
.than the vanity which di6tated, this letter ? Could
any. man; in Whom self-conceit had not overcome
all good sense and discret;on, have' fancied or have
suggested that he was to be placed
.in the 'chair
merely that the renown of his name, or the magia
o 1 his appearance, should attraa.a wondering multi-
tude ? 1 am no shoW-man ; no mountebank
had no intention' of exhibiting a Great Caterfelto,'
or of
.turiiing the-animal to my- profit. I advertised
Sir Franek's name, 'because he being the man of
highest rank and most:consequence, as well .as
warmest supporter, and the person who vas to pro-
'potie me, had been fixed on as a chairmo ; and be-
cause it is a!ways customary; in giving notice of a
public dinner, to state who is. to be in the chair"

THE AUT/10'll'S ClEtitil;CrEß OF Slit F. lit.rnmtr.

. But b-fore I tale my leave of Sir. Francis,
alloW me to Eiv'e hi':n a few words of advice. ;Not.'
withstanding all his condud to me, I do not think
him a bad man ; but I tear that 'the only palliatiOn
which that conduct will admit of is,. that he is a
weak Man. Nevertheless, with his popul,rity, be
May he of. great service to the country, if even the
' slender abilities which he possesses he properly di-
reded. Let him then throw on' those ignominious
trammels of intelletquat submission which have so
long disgraced him, and let him at from the dic-
tates of his own heart. -His condnel, then, will not
display much talent, but, I think, it will shew more
integrity. He may, in consequence, for a time, be
less popular ; but let him recoiled that there is no
secure and permanent fame but that whichis gained
by fair and honourable means.
(c, When that season of honestrarrives, I shall
expert that justice. which folly, . and pride, and ma-.
lignity, have hitherto denied me; shall expeet
ample atonement for the wrongs which I. have re-
ceived from him and from his gang ;—injuries,
.however, which it will never be in their power to
compensate.

as well that part of it which has already ,appeared in
the Baltic, as .that which is still expecled, has made
little impression, even in those places ag;:i ist which'
it is understood to be directed. :In Denmark, all ap-
peAr full of tranquillity. The priple confide in the
wisdom of the Government, and they feel confit-Jent
that the defence of the metropolis, and of the 'port,
has been so carefoly attended to, that nothing is to
be dreaded from any attack. In Stralsund, and the
Island 'of Rugen, they have more difficulty in pre-
venting the troops, at the Flanoverian Legion from
deserting, thati they find it easy to induce
,them to
make head ,against the French. - The German regi».
Means enibrace every opportunity- to go back in
whole companies, and already many of them have
returned to cleir homes in Hanover. The Pruisian
ports are already shut to all English ships. Russia
will do the 'same, provided England refuse to agree
to the Articles of Peace agreed upon ; and there is
no doubt that Denmark, in that case,' will follow
the example of the caller two Powers.

from whence he immediately set out accompanied
by Mr. NICHOLS, late Vice-Consul at Hamburgh,
for Schleswiek,w here the Crown Prince of Denthark
resides. The speedy appearance of the English in
the Sound is generally 'considered as an effort to give
a new direelion to the policy-of the Danish. Court.—
In these Coubtries people are very uneasy with re-
gard to ilie consequences which an event so unek-
peeled may produce. At KonigsbUrgh there arc
about WO Danish ships, which are not permitted
to take in their lading till it be understood that' their

of Germany a combined. plan of operations against
England is said to exist, and which only awaits 13er
answer to the propcisitions of Russia to be put in

PARIS, AUGUST I t.--Various conjectures are
formed 'as to the destination .of the first Corps
of the Army commanded by ihe Prince of PoNTE.
0011Y0; which is said to be in march for
the
North of Germany. It is not known whether
this Prince will also command the army .eneamped
in Swedish Pomerania. Although few give credit
to the reports in circulation respeaing the move-
ments of- troops to the borders of Denmark, it is
notwithstanding possible that this measure !nog be
taken, in case England rejects the mediation pro-
posed iiv.ltussia.(ider. ,)
FRANKFORT, AUG. 2.--Far these eight, days past
nothing has been talked of but the changes which
are about to take place in the North of Germany,

territories Of the Prince Primate: it is also said that
all the country to the left of the Maine, .except,our
City, will pass under the dominion of the Grim('
Duke of Baden, who will make some concessions is
Franconia and Swabia, to the King of Wirternberg•
The Grand Duke of Hesse Darmstadt, who, 11l
consequence of the said dispositions, loses a porti°
of his estates, will be inden3nifie4 with the princi"
Imlay of Fulda, and the southern part.of the coontor•
of Hesse Cassel. It is also said that the Frill° °
urtzburgh will receive :some new possession4ln
Franconia ; and that the Dukes of Saxony, esPcia'll7
those of Wei Mar and Gotha, will acquire 51
Pruisian distrias, and others in the itingdoa"
Saxony, situated in the midst •of their territories;
the Duchy of Allemhurgh will be reunited t° the
kingdom of Saxony.
