There is one passage in a letter 'front Mr. PAULL;
addressed to .Sir FRANCIS BURDETT; Which bears
.very hard upon --the charaCier of the latter, as no
answer.was-cgien respe&iug the point iii quesii()n:
Mr. PAULL reminds Sir FRANCIS; that on the road
to' town,- - after ; the duel., c' a- solethn., pledge was
;exchanged between Ahern; that the. pates„that hadpased, and which led -to the unfOrtunate affair,'
should be-mutually destroyed.:! -- Mr. PAULL-de-.
Glares,, that his' part of-the pledge was performed- in
the presence of two of his friends,; and he properly
.01-AerveS, that it remains with ,Sir FRANCIS to .ex-
plain by.what means. Mr. HoaNE TooKE became
possessed-of one of the papers that was to hare been _
:destroyed; and. which the latter has since published:
- Sir FRANCIS dOes, not. deign to ansWer this letter, of
Mr. PAULL hirris-lf, but commissions his brother to
signify-to Mr. WOLSELEY (Mr. PAULL'S friend) that '
after what had passed; Sir FRANCIS must decline all
further-communication with Mr.; PAULL. • NOW, it
is- evident. that if no such pledge had. passed as Mr.
PAULL mentioned, Sir FRANCIS -would; in viridica
Lion of his own cbndu&, have disavowed it ;. and
• not having done so, it is certainly incumbent on him'
. to explain how the pledge was violated. Mr. HoRNE
TOOKE indeed thinks proper to declare, that-he-did -
not obtain the letter in question " by the meartS; or
,with the consent or knowledge, of Sir FRANCIS BUR-,
, DETT, or his brother ;" but Mr. HORNE ToortE'S
credit for veracity is certainly not so high in publia
estimation, as' to be at all .satisfatiory on a poin(
t hat s 6 nearly cows erns the charaeler of Sir FE, A N,C I S
BURDETT.

Some Politicians of Bristol, who 'are 'described as
Odd Fish,' were lo have met a feW•days ago at 'the
Trout-tavern in that City, in order to Celebrate
the:return of, FRANCIS.ppRDETT to Parlianyent,
""but.as'ihe inhabitants in general are attached to the
Constitution, and' revere the KING, those odd
Gudgeons or &arks, thought proper to re,.
lilignish their design.
A numerous Meeting of .the Whig Club dined
:on Tuesday, at. the London Tavern, .Bishopsgate,
street-7-HattvEY CHRISTIAN COMRR, Esq.. in the
Chair. After dinner the, usual toasts Were drank
among others, the health of Sir FRANCIS BURDETT',
and the Eleaors of Weqminster, having been hancl
ed up to the Chair by Mr. CLIFFORD, was proposed:,
when Mr. W. SMITH begged leave to submit a few
remarks on time subje&. He had no objeaion to
'drink the. health of Sir FRANCIS BuRDETT as a friend
or an individual, but by no means wished that it
should be coupled with the Electors of Westminiter,
as that circumstance would imply the concurrence
of the Westminster Electors with the sentiments
avowed in the Baronet's late Address': He had
.voted .himself for Sir FRANCIS BURDETT ; but
con,lemned, in the most positive terms,' the condua
.of Sir FRANCIS since his 'Eleolion, and would cer-
tainly have withheld his vote had he expealed
lhatthe 4leelors would have been insulted by such
an Address.-After some observations froth' Mr.
CLIFFORD, in which he took an opportunity of
complimenting Mr. SMITH on his political condu&;
the Chairman said, he thought it his duty, from the
Satiation \he held, to propose the toast that bad been
handed up to him ; bUt Gentlemen were at\liberty
to drink' it, or not, as they pleased. The toast was
accordingly drank by about forty or fifty, with some
huzzas.

The Citizens Of London have shewn a, due sense
of loyalty, and a proper regard to merit, in raising
Mr. BIRCH to the rank of Alderman. This Gen,
tleman is distingdished for his taleut, as well as for
his patriotisan and respeaable char; ter in' private
life. indeed, all that his opponents have ever been
able to say against him have been.despicable at-
tempts to .bring him into ridicule on the around,of
his profession.

We are glad to find that Mr. FULLER is returned
fOr the. County •of Sussex. He is a Man of 'plain
good' sense,. and independent principleS, who will
speak his mind in favour of his Country, withdut
bias towards either side, and only from a firm regard
to the public welfare, and the true prinCiples of the
British Constitution.• • Such a man should always be
found in Parliament. This • Gentleman may. in-
deed 'be considered as another " downright SHIP-.
PEN," whose honest bluntness and incorruptible in 7
tegrity-were: highly esteemed in the days of Sir
R-OBEXT:WALPOLE, add: who will for ever live in the
complimentary record of POPE
" I love topour out all myself as plain: . • - '

g‘ As downright SI-11.P?EN, or as old. MONTNIGNE.'"
It has often been observed that no' man Was ever
more effeaually written 4own than by ~tiniself;--j
This remark 'has been fully illUstrated 'ay_the pld
Man of Wimbledon, who, Whatever {night be his,
former talen6; and attainments, haS now plaint}•
sheWn that his mind- has. sunk to such -,a, state
wholly
Of imbecility, that it is incapable .of
gui.,.ink the mischief of his !wait.
It has.been alledged .against the Governmentof
this Co7L' that it interfered, through thrs.txte-
dium of Mr: RUFUS KING, to 1)1-LN-cm Mr. EMMET,
the Irish Barrister, from settling in America. No-
thing can be more false and absurd than this
allegation,' as it is Avell.known that' by the lenient
permiSsiciii-of the British Government Mr. 14;Ntozri •
was suffered to retire in peace from Ireland,
.and
see a'
shelter in America.
