The contents a: this Letter were communicated
to almost all his friends and supporters, who una-
nitnously agreed to return au answer to the fol,
lowing effect : . .
After regretting exceedingly the cause of his
departure, and hOping it might prove benefirid, it
stated, " that they trusted his absence would not
be long : they could not, however, for :a inumeat
'think of receiving his resignation, and begged be

It was Very currently rep'orted , in the City yes-
terday, that the Cornwallis, 74, which lately
sailed from Portsmouth with Rear• Admiral BURL-
Tog, for the East Indies, had been captured by
two American frigates. On inquiry, however, at
the Admiralty, East India House, and Lloyd's,
we learnt that no such account hid been re-
ceived, and therefore the rumour is entitled to no.
credit. -

The Caledonia, THomPsON, from Demarara for
Liverpool, arrived at Cork on the 2d instant, all
tvell.. The Caledonia parted from the Orestes on
the 26th ult. in a heavy gale of wind, only eight
sail then in company. Saw several of the fleet
after the gale standing for the English Channel.
On the 30th spoke the Ethalion frigate, looking
out for an American corvette which had been
off Cork ; saw the Ethalion again on the
31st. with the St. George; APCt.TwN, for Greenock,
and four others of the convoy. The Caledonia
parted from the Hibernia, Bu tat the 20th
all well.

Now, Sir, I put it to your candour to say, whe-
ther there is any thing in this like deserting the
" Port of Liverpool fur the Port of Lisbon ;.." and
I can further assert also, from my own knowledge,
that until a very., short time before be left us, he
did not even contemplate the appointment he now
holds. One thing, however, I urn persuaded of,
that neither honour nor einy.lument would have
induces! him to go abroad, to the prejudice of the
interests of his constituents. Let, me ask, was
it right, was it even ilecent, that . the man of
our choice, the champion of our cause, the disci-
ple and friend of Mr. Pitt,' should be stigmatised
by one who is not a burgess, and, compara-
tively, little known amongst us.; one who' could
apply the' word• upstart by 'way of censure upon
an emiuent and respectable merchant of the town ?
Was- he aware that the meaning which that word
was intended -to convey was eqoally applicable
to a • great' prbpbrtion of the magistrates and
,respectable inhabitants of,
_this town (together
with your worthy father, as, Well
