111 R. PAULL AND SIR FRANCIS BURDETT.

RECENT DUEI..—MR.COOPER's STATEMENT.
A Pubhcation which api..eared in the Morning Pa-
t\
pers of Saturday last, signed" John Bellenden Ker,"
renders it impossible for me to remain any longer
silent under representations and aspersions the most
artful and unfounded that ever made their way to
the Public. If have remained hitherto. silent under
such .ispersiou.s.andmisrepreientations from the pen
of John Horne loolie, and otlaers), k -has really been
from contempt for the calumniators, and net for any
apprehensions Of the result of a full development
of the circumstances- of the recent Dilel,_ either as
affecting Mr. Paull or mySelf. I shall be as brief as
pozsible in statihg the fads themselves, but 1 cannot
help on,iervins, -that many of these fats will: appear
in a very different point of view falhat, in which.
they a-e given to the Public by Mr. John Bellenden
G.l..cicr;lie will excuse ine .or using the liable- by
tit oich he is best kno, ato ihe Public. -
,My objesi was not concealment,, but I understood
distindly from Mr. Paull,-that both he and Sir l!ran-
cis Burdett had decided -against .the utiiity'of nny
States kut beyond a mere mention of the Meeting,
and even that, if judged neceSsary; to be without the'
names of the Secouds.—TO this moment c:lnhot
imagine one substantial reason for any other hoc of
COMILI4, and leave it to the Public- to judge, if t.lere •
is one new faCt Nought to light (though the fivist
reprehensible Attempt has teen l'u4de 011 the part of:
Mr. Ga‘vier to turn tnii cOndua and charaaer into
' ridicule, yin a most Serious occasion), except, indeed,
that he ha, proved; NAlllq I never denied, my ignp-
rance—" in the loading Oa pistol; the measuriug cif
a distance, and the dropping of a sign ii." lie,. oil
the contrary, is an adept 'in the Science olDuelling
that he nits long traded in -atfairS of this kind,- that
heseems equally indifferent to oils appearing in the
field, or in the tOtuna, where be-certainly has been
„mo.inconsiderable actor in his day! Unfortunately
for Mr. Paull and myself, Mr. Gawier:was the, Se-
cond to Sir Francis Burdett On the intended affair
with Me. Whitbread. 'Fof' the sills of nay Principal
and myself, an opinion was given by Mr. Paull to Mr:
Gawler on-that occasion, ‘tillich did not seem to have
escaped the reddile6tiou of Lawler ou the recent.
duel.

The public has been already informed of the
Meeting at the Crown and Anchor, on the Ist of
MaY, and the letterS that, were then read by Mr.
Jones Burdett at that dinner. I atthOded, as a kiend,
of -Mr. Paull's, to whom I had been introduced by
A near relation in the India service. After quitting
the Crown and Anchor; he requested of me to at-
tend hint as his Secend'upon a Most unt&cseen, un
expetted, and unfortunate affair, in which he touted
himself engaged with his friend' Sir Francis Burdett.
Mr. -Paull said he was loth to impoSe 'this duty on
me, on account of only. family circumstances, but
that the hour was Hie, and from what I had seen,
hot a moment was to be lost, if he (Mr. -Pauli) meant
to stand Well with his friends or the .public. He
immediately wrote tWo Addresses to the EleCtors of
Westminster, which having dispatched, he then
wrote a leiter, taeSir Francis Burdett, and gave we,
instructions, from whiCh I was upon no account to.
depiirt. I/hese instruOicrits were, to explain coolly
and deliberately to Sir Franeis Burdett the injti'ry he
(Mr. Paull) had sustained, both in. a public and pri-
Vateepoint olView e that after the expLmations-t'it
had passed bet Ween hint and Sir Francis in the early
part of the week„ and .especially an Thursde:,... Sir
Francis was lett with-out an
.eXcuse teem
,for his ;
and that, at J-. 1 et ents, the ne:nner the time, and
tlrrns unt,.‘e use of to .strike the blow, without any
pr2vious 'hint Iriving been given of the mode- of at-
ti.ic!„ was so unieLlieg „rid unkind, that an
,apo-
logy he hada right to insist upon, and that if 1-Q-
-fused, one other alternative only remained."
As we proceeded to Wiinbledon Mr. Paull repre-
sented to me the painful necessity of this measure,
bat he had. no alternative, as the insult was grOss,
wanton, and unprovoked- He stated to me tz was
long the wish of his heart to see Sir F. Burdett to
Parliament, but that unhappily his wiShes were coun-
teraded by an influence superior to his own, That
on Sunday last he (Mr. Paull) repaired' to Wimble-
don on hearing that a dissolution was intended, that
he bad a long conversation With Sir Francis, the re-
stilt of which was, that though Sir Francis Would not
publicly Offer himself as a CiuCid to terWestininster,
and though, contrary to Mr. Cobbett's opinion, lie
despaired of the country, he shoal be well pleased
to tend that so much pubic spirit existed in the city
of Wesminster to return bath Mr. Paull and him to
Parliament. Mr. Paull said, he concludedn by request=
'mg Sir Francis to noininane him, as he had done last
October (which was at a dinner at the Crown end
Anchor), to w!tick Sir Francis readily consented :
Nr. P. stayed dinner, and was sorry to perceive that
MI:. Tooke's opinion \vas decidedly against Sir Fran-
cis's going into Parliament, to which opinion he at-
tributed the coitikid of Sir F. Burdett, as exhibited
bi the letters from ltim whiCh were_ read by his taro-
;her at the Crown and Anchor meeting. '
Conneated as Mr. Paull had been fol'a long period
with Sir F. Burdett, and the assent given by Sir
Francis on the Sunday, to nominate Mr. Patin, as he
had done last Oetober (which was at a dinner at the
Crown and Anchor), a dinner was fixed on, and Sir
F. named as the chairman in a public advertisement,
and of which Sir F. was advised on the same even-
ing by Mr. Paull, who received in answer that ex-
traordinary Private Letter, which was read by Mr,.
Jones Burdett, at the Crown and Anchor ; upon the
receipt of which Mr. Paull dispatched, by express,
an answer to Sir F. at Wimbledon, in which he ex-
pressed his sincere concern that any mistake or Mis-
- c-inception should have taken place; and the grounds
upon which he (Mr. Paull) was induced to conclude
Sir F. would have takeu.the ttlutir. He apologized,
he said, in a manner rather humiliating, for the
liberty be had taken, ;under the influence of the
misconception, and etfered to do a‘kay, the effeCt of
the advertisement in any manner that Sir F. would
prefer ; that in anotiiel letter, on time folloWing day,
sent by express, Mr. Paint reuerated these
,expres-
Mons of regret, and °tiered the some aims of re-
medying the advertisement but, no farther objec-
tion w., iated, no desire expressed for wlthdravvinJ
..,
:the adVertisement, remedy pointed out es all
which he attributed to the subsequent consent given
by ,:qtr _re to serve it he was elected to represent the
