business whatever."

Mr. PAUL L's LETTER to EVERARD HOME, Esq.
'(Mr. Paull's Surgeon.)

Art. SIR, • " Monday Morning,
.11.13 y rt.
• " In consequence • of the orders said•to be given
by Mr. Cline, I find myself, debarred of making a
communication to Sir Francis Burdett of 'the first
importance, but as• delay is fruit:it with much fu-
ture and .serious consequences,
,I must beg of you'
to See Mr. Cline on the snbje&, Which.inay prevent
much future mischief. The anxiety of my friends
on the subject is very considerable.
" On Monday, last; Contrary to the sense of a-de,
cided majority•of the•Eleetors of Westminster, cer-
tain persons calling themselves the friends of Sir'
Francis, established themselves (although. only twen-.
ty-eight in Miniber) into a numerous Meeting of
the Eleelors of Westminster;' and though totally-
ignorant 'of 'the 'me'rits of the late unhappy affair,
- proceeded directly to-censure me. They then (hay.;.•
ing previously possessed tliemselves;Of the entite
'knowledge of all .my boOks and papers relative to
the late Etedion) formed themselves into aCominit
tee for ..conduchng Sir Francis's 'Election. - Since
which, no placard however libellous, no insinuation
however false and gross (talsehoOds the most dived),
have issued, all under the seeming San6tion" of Sir
Francis' Name, to ruin .ine in public opinion, and
defeat thepurposes,of 14.Eleetion. Here they do
not .rest.• The moment' I procure a friend to g 6 to
the kitisti.; s to dO7avv:ly the effect Of proceedings
so tool ;hid criminal.(as.in, the insiance of Mr.
deterred by the intitnate- ttiends of sie
Francis ;lom pe-tiforining an at of mere. justice;
• and tints • N -my honour and 'my interest 'sacrificed;
because:another line-4)f conduit would he injurious
to the interest of Sir Francis, who.l know and feel
has 'not particle of interest in such unjust proceed=
bUt must feel deep concern to see to what Vile
purposes his name is prostituted.
." Mendicant appeals are made from hour- to hour
to get votes for , who scorned to solicit one for
himself; and the natne'of intended assassin is even
bestowed upon me by. the zealots of , Sir Francis ;
and for a purpose too obvious to escape any man's
penetration. Our quarrel,. dip), add; is as fierce as
ever. To all this it will be answered, that Sir Fran-
cis is an entire stranger to any such proceedings, and
that no man abhors them more than he does. SO
from my soul and heart I believe; but so will not
believe thOse of my friends who deteEted and 'proved
that those men who nQw constitute, Sir Francis's
Codunittee (and- the authors Of All the 'injuries I
comp Lin of), though they 114 pretended frien4ship
'and attachtnent to me-for a time, had resolved for is
month befo-re, and they unblushingly now avow the
fact, to overthrow my election ;and especially when
they see Mr. Bonney and others ae_ting.the part. they
do. I appeal' to Sit Francis; liberally to his justice,
to his. 1101101.11' and-J-66141g; tot disavoN4 al of such
acts; and for 'a declaration that a hostile feeling
remains not aa-hi.s side against me. •

" The foVegoing letter (says Horne Tooke) was
sent open to Mr.. Cline, that, by knowing, its con-
tents, Mr. Cline might judge whether-it was fit to be
communicated by hini to his patient. Mr. C. judged
it. unfit and returned it to Mr. Home wi,t,h the fol-
lowing answer. • But observing that he 'might 'h&c-
after be clrarged with having,caused a delay fraught
much, uiure and serious cgoequenc.ei.;::apd:that
the communication of it to SirFfancisiv.ightprevent
much: future mischirf ; he deemed it prudenty:fbr his
ownjustification, to talie-a copy of ,the, letter which
Le roused to deliver, that otherslnight, if necessary,
form= their opinions of the propriety of his conduct in
sucli: refusal.-
