To tile ELECTORS of WE:)T.MINSTEIt
GiN.L4I.4t.N,
EST to the consciousness of evdeavourinlc, sin-
cerely to serve my Country, notir.ng" can be more
pleasing to toy mind titan the Public Approbation of my tin-
deavours.—Accept my grateful Thanks.
At the same tOrgive me fur feeling something like despair
of any good to the I.:ootitr;, whilst I see the regu'iar expellees.
of Corruption greatly exceed all '.the expeuces necessary for
any War which we in pursuing; vvinist
ste attempts to delude the Publtc Mind,. by co;:kpa7atively
petty and thsiguitietint Inquiries into what, is mtird Pecula-
tion ; whilst those Inquirers themselves Whit: it not disho.
nourable to seize greedily every opportunity of •enriching
themselves out of the public spoil, by any other means trot
termed by them l'eculat;on.
Such wretched notions of public honour and honesty can
aftbni no signal benefit to the Public, nor can give• us any
suitable redress. They appear to Inc to resernble the notion.
01 chastity emertained by inc Prostitute, who boldly ciial.
lengeci any one to say that she ever want out °fate Regintent.
According t, them, all within the Regiment, all within the
Red I3,uk, is honourable and virtuous,' And they insult us
by declaring, that they have as good a title by the.. Red hook
as any of the people can have to the fruits .Ot their industry,
Or to the inheritance of their ancestors; from wnickindustry,
and from when inheritance, be it. remembered, and front
them alone, the Red Hook itself takes every thilig it has to
bestow. So that they pretend, as ',7,001 a riglit to all winch
they can contrive to i.ake, from us as we nave to the re-
mainder—till they can take nat too. •
Gentlemen, ft4ure to yourselves a gang•of -robbers.. corn.
bened to plUnder'the peaceable. and industrious inlianitants of
bevoral surrounding parishes, and agrteing amongst themselves
to share, the booty in such di-if:rent proportions as the leader
Of the gang shall appoint to each. .From time to time, it
will happen,. that sonic tinef or other amongst them will
purloin a part of the b. utv, and clandestinely appropriate to
himself more than his appointed share.— The purloiner is
detected ; and the gang, with open mouths, exclaim against
'the atrocity of cheating —the termeat : the only crime of the
kind which they, acknowledge io he so. Would it not be rh,,
diculOus in these -plundered parishes to take any part in such
a dispute, and to divide tnemselves . into strong parties, for
the accusers or the accused As long as the thieves in com-
mon take all they can seize, what is it to the plundered
people who share the booty ; how they share it ; and in
what proportions? Ought they trot rather to destroy the gang
and anoltsn the combin.ition ?

Such is my conception of. the diffaent corrupt Ministers
we have seen and their corrupt adherents ; and, unless the
the Public, with an tinited'voice, shall loudly prohounce the,
of the whole of the present system of corruption,
1 must still continue to despair of my Lountry.
You, Gentlemen, by tins unparalleled Eletlion, have
loudly pronounced your sentiments ; may your voice be
echoed through the land.
In the mean time, thOugh an individual is almost as no.
thing in the scale, t will carry with ine your sentiments into
the ;louse of Commons. And I assure yOu that no rational
end:avours of mine shall he omitted, to restore to rny coup.
tryinen the unciistuibed enjoyment of the far fruits of their
industry ; to tear out the accursed leaveS/of that scandalous
Red Book ; and to bring back tneil's minds to the ,almost
forgotten notions attic sacrehnessof pri vats property.; which
ought no longer to be transferred front the legitimate posses-
:ors, by the corrupt votes of venal and mercenary combina-
tions. _ _

I will continue, Gentlemen, disinterestedly faithful to
the interests or my country; and endeavour to prove myself
your zealous Representative.

L 0 N D ON,

MONDAY, MAY 25, 1907.

Paris and Dutch Papers, the. former to the 20th,
and the latter to.the 234 inst. reached town at a
very early hour this morning: They do not bring
any account of a battle having been fought, though
there are still reports to that e'ffetSt in circulation.
The French Papers give a very pompous account of
the arrival of the plunder of Berlin, Potzdarn,
and Cassel, at Paris: The Sword of FaznEktcx
the 'Great was deposited with great solemnity,
in the Hotel of the Invalids, and the pitaures,
BoOks, valuable Manuscripts, Antiquities, &c.
have been lodged in the imperial Library, and in
the Napoleon Musehm. BONAPARTE has sent an
Embassy to Persia, which is rather °fa formidable
description. GeneraI,GARDANINE is ;the Ambassa-
dor, and he takes with him 300 French Officers,
and 300 Artillerymen.

WE received this morning, StOckholm Papers of
the I l th, and Copenhagen Papers of the 4th inst.
The following Are the only articles which they con-

tain :

" COPENHAGEN, 14AY g.—lt appears by Letters
from Naples; that the King continues his. journey ;
he was lately at Brindisi, where he viewed the . ,
har-
bour, once so famous and beautiful, but no in a
minor condition, and resolved that it should be re-
stored to its former state.
" Report says, that when the Ottoman Govern-
ment acknowledged JOSEPH NAPOLEON King of Na-
ples, it gave him positive assurance that it would
cause the Neapolitan Flag to be respeaed by all the
States of Barbary, and all the Neapolitan slaves to
set at liberty'.
" Mr. POLLY, the celebrated Chemist, has disco-
vered, in tlie. vicinity of Naples, a cave hitherto not
known, which contains a spring'of hot water.
" The. Stockholm Gazette, of the l Ith of May,
contains no news. from the Atrnies, but mentions that
His Prussian Majesty has appointed M. VON TAR-
xAcx, Privy Counsellor of Legation, his Envoy Ex-
traordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary at , the
Swedish Court."

As we have so' often expressed our sincere.,con,
cern on the probability that Sir FRANCIS BURDETT'
would obtain a seat in Parliament as one of the Re-
presentatives for the City of Westminster, it is haediy
necessary, for us to testify our ext rerne regret t hat the
event has at length justified our apprehensions. It;
we had not such strong reasons for objeCling‘ to the
return of Sir F. BURDETT, grounded upon all his for-
mer political conduEt, the Advertisemel t which he has.
published this day, would be amply-sufficient to prove
bow utterly unworthy such a man is of a_place in the
British Senate. That Advertisement abounds in all
the sentiments and opinions which were avowed by
the miscreants who overthrew the French Monarchy,
and brought. forward the most dreadful events that
the history of mankind has ever_recorded. But' this
most scandalous 'Advertisement not only manifests.
the same principles, but it absolutely threatens the
same consequences. We defy THoMts PA IN rg, the
great champion of Democracy, and the, strenuous
friend of Revolutions, to compress more mischief
within the compass of the Advertisement with which
Sir FRANCIS BURDETT has not only insulted the
Electors of Westminster, but every man in the
British Empire who is attached to the present
Corm of our Goveimnent. In our opinion,, this,
Advertisement is of so offensive 'a description,
that it calls for the severest reprobation of all honest
Englishmen. It really menaces the vital interests
of our Constitution, and the existence of out
..a-
narchy. It now plainly appears, that it is its, vain
to indulge the lope that time, expeiienee, and re-
fledion, will produce-any improvement in the poli-
tical conduft of this unfortunate young man.
However, though Sir FRANCIS BURDETT has
become a Member for Westminster, it is obvious
that he never can be considered as the representative
of the loyalty, the patriotism, the property, the re-
spedability of that City, but of the most disgrace-
ful and mischievous part of its inhabitants. Such
of the Ele&ors as really feel for the honour, as well
as the interest of the Empire, must be deeply aim--
tified to behold a Mali of Ins character appear in the-
capacity of their Representative, and in reading his
advertisement must the more severely condemn';
themselves for not exerting their rights in due time,
proving their decided hostility to him and his 'cause,
and preserving their City troin the disgrace which
their shameful negligence has occasioned.

It is the intention. of the prsent'Adininistralion
to re-institute the National In wiry into ail Oinciai
delinquencies in • ti►.: Mani-try .Depart meat, *lnc-.
