ro ye adequate expression to that G ratitude,with which
your ccntinued kindness has inspired me, the termination of

warinef,t 'Thanks for your most zealous and yoluntarySupport.
I arn,well aware that the extraordinary exertions which I
base 3;vitnessed, are not to be ascribed to any personal claims
a my own on your 'Favour and Interest, but to the just in..-
fikience of that Common Cause„ by which we have been
,animated td what may still be termed a Glorious Struggle.
To be seleEled, however, as the Jepresentative of such a
]Causer is an Honour of which I shall ever retain the deep-
rnt impression; an Honour to which even Success could add
po Lustre, if it were'unaccompanied with that plain integrity
of Condiicl, and kliat manly abhorrence of Fraud and Strata-
gern,which I trust will ever govern the ;talons ofthose whom
.arp proud to call my Friends. With them, I ant well as-
sured, the attainment of their Objea will ever be a second-
'arypinsicleration to the justice of the means which they will.
eoploy in its pursuit. ,
those Eleoors in my Interest, who have thought pro-
rri
er to Aeand and carry on the Scrutiny on my behalf, I
feel myself cnder peculiar Obligations; as well as to those
whose -Zeal and Patience have enabled them to bear up
gains vexatious delays by which that Measure bas been im-
peded. It must have been obyious to every one, how those de-
jay's Were cccasioned, and froni what quarter they proceeded.
The unjustifiable System pursued by our Adversaries, of
refusing to scrutinize the ots of those Freeholders
were patiently waiting day. after day, for an Opportunity of
Jell:tiding their Rights, and of, attacking only those of the
Absent, has been beybpd measure harrassing 'tad distressing
to ;he County. This Circumstance alone, (without advert-
tothe delay of l3tsitiess, which they have so studiously
DacasiOned) must Convince every impartial Observer, that
they were conscious of their owu Weakness, and dreaded the
result of a fair Scrutiny.
My r riendS have had to encounter both the insufficiency of
the time allowed by Law, and the successful struggles of
their Adversaries to prevent them from reaping in it their
lawful Advantages. It must therefore. be A matter less of
surprize than or regret, that their Endeavours should have
(failed in commanding Success:

IGENT:LEY.,4E,
T T is in the highest degree gratifying to me, that
A. my Friends are now relieved from the long attendance
,which their generous exertions have imposed on them during ,
the course ot a tedious Poll, and a more tedious ScrUtiny.
To what motives this lass . measure, hitherto unknown in
this County, is•to be aseribed,,they, who
.have been wit-
nesses of its commencement, its progress, •and its termina-
tion, are best able to judge; but on the propriety and con-
-dna of such a proceeding, .under the peculiar circumstances
of the roil, at this seaSori of the year, the impartial, calm,
'and rational Friends of bOth,Parties have long since.deciried.
I have no wish to revive the memory. Of transactions, which,
whate,ver may have •been their influence both on Individuals
and the Public, did not originate with me ; but 1 cannot for-
bear to regret, that the advice of the more considerate was not
heard, and that the Scrutiny, whiCh has occasioned such ge-
neral- inconvenience, was grabted.—Of its event I have rea-
son to tr: prom!, as it has not only been 'the means of in-
creasing my majority on the Poll, but has.given the strongest
contradiction to the assertion "that the Votes in my favour
Wer-..! the eff:•.6fof Unfair arts, and did not convey the sense of
tilt real Freeholders of the County." -
• The support which I have received on, this occasion, has
been-the most flattering, and the most honourable; . the sup-
port of men, whose independence and integrity, whose pub-
lieand private virtues retie& the highest credit on the object
.4i-their choice r. for their steady friendship, for their generous
-and disinterested exertions, I shall everretain the most live-
ly sense of gratittnie, Without losing sight of my public duty,
pr forgetting that respect and attention which is due from a
RepreSentative to the general body of his: Constituents.
Underthe impression of these sentiments, I wish now to
close the scene of the contest in which we have been engaged,
to conciliate the minds of my opponents to the event: and to
avert the evils of personal and political " WARFARE."
1 have the.Honour to be, Gentlemen,

To G ENTLEM EN, CLEIGY.and FR E EHOLDERS

of the COON EY Of NORFOLK.

CENT LE:S4EN,
PERM' f me to congratulate you upon the ter-
Ihination of the Scrutiny which Colonel Wodehouse
ptofessedly demanded in compliance with the wishes of his
f,rielids,. and of N.viiich he has openly declared to you his
approbation." Now tar the zeal of his advisers
:was it.:icompanied by knowledge and discretion, must be
lc f t'.) the consideration of those, who may long have reason
tit reinembei, that'a i'vlajoritY favour of Sir Jacob Astley,
:which upon the Poll amounted to 95, has now reached 109,
. after the strenuous efforts that were made to reduce it for the
"space of 20 days.
I am not rash, Gentlemen, in stating, that if the time had
allowed every objectionable vote upon every side to be fairly
anti fully examined,' the superiority of Sir Jacob Astley
Wouldein all probability, .have been greater than it now is ;
anti 1 cdtifesst that the very unusual proceedings of the She-
rift's Court, have Ultimately strengthened my confidence in
the merits of a Cause, which after construction of the Sta-
hire; possibly right, a. construdioia possibly wrong, and
doubtful assumptions without any construction at all, has
proy.:dyidurious. I cannot indeed diSsernble the painful
regret which I felt, whin, for purriuses of defence only, my
p:i.„Litisel found them,iefves obliged to adopt the mode of war-
fare which their Adversaries had emploYed, cmcl thus to dis-
pute the Votes of 'patty. Wotthy and respectable .Freeholders,
on the ground of mere informality. But for severities, which
it evsi nut in ti power. to prevent, the sole responsibility
I.ios, not with the Parties who "reluctantly engagelin the
Scrutiny, but .i,vith the persons who originally and spontane-
pifily called upon the Sherilftu grant it.
Siiicere is my sorrow for the loss of time, the vexation of
spirit, and oilierunpleasant effeds, which the Scrutiny must
;lave oCcasioied aineng persons who are scattered at various
distances from Norwich, and whose presence at home must,
in this s.:ason'or ii iryest, have been peculiarly necessary to
the right' inaoagent_mt of agricultural concerns. Your
_good
however, will suggest to you, that Sir Jacob Astley
daft;my:ielf ate no otherwise answerable for these interrup-
Opts, than as-Men ',vlo were 61.1-yelled to ad upon the con-
Oitiohs which their Opponents had prescribed to them, and
by sO.Cloiog, have eventually established your Rights,
together With their own-Your Patriotism, at the same time,
will find ample contpetisation fbr every temporary inconve-
pieoce, when you view the result of the Scrutiny, as a most
thneauivocal proof of that wisdom and that equity which
erriiricferi;4 the 1-ay.'s of England, and by which they are
endeared to every English heart.
Piocttg ether favourable consequences of this event, an op-
poriithity is again .afforded me for returning my cordial and
rhoi:it respectful Thinks to all My Constituents—to those,
candour and impartiality that will ever command
supported me Jointly with Colonel Wodehouse--
t those, Who thought the worthy bf the high clistindion con-
t;C:':ed hy siiigle vote--and to those, who from motives
most deeply interest my best feelings, bestowed their
suffrages on Sir I achb Astley, as well 'as mYself.
Niany mid weighty are the obligations which you laid upon
the• successful Candidates during the Election; and which,
'4.:ith of will always remembecwith unfeigned
patlAdi..ut, and endeavour at least to repay with "unshaken
iny:particulat anti most grateful acknowledg-
'M'ents are -now due to you; for your dignified generosity in

floating vague an 4 invidious
.stattment with ,direst
_aftd
nuons eTplanation. In what, them, let me-ask, consist the
arts so confidently imputed, and so sharply censured ? Acid
what are the fads which rend to consid me of having the
smallest share in them? Not certainly, I should have been
ashamed to insifpate concerning ,itty -.competitor, as some
friends of that Competitor have most falsely reported con-
cerning me, that he thinks himself under little or no obliga-
tion to those, who voted for him singly, or conjointly .with
myself.. As certainly I Niie not wished to call down odium
upon him, as others have wickedly endeavoured to bring it
upon me, by ascribing to him indecorums wine,' he never
committed, absurdities which he never uttered, and senti-
ments of illiberality combined with arrogance, which be is
equally incapable with myself of harbouring, even for one
moment in hishosorn.—l have not attempted to lull the
vigilance of my Opponents, or to cheer the hopes of toy Sup-
porters, by ambiguous and indired preparations for contest,
to be avowed or explained asvay, to be pursued or abandoned,
to be employed in one quarter, or transferred to another, as
experiments', and consultations upon the result of experi-
ment, might require.—l am not indebted for any portion of
my success to the apostacy of fickle companions and faithless
friends from the cause of my honourable and much respeded
rival —I have not let loose a tierce and inquisitorial spirit of
detraction, upon the real or supposed faults of my neighbours
in private life—l have not degraded a large, and opulent -
County into the situation of a petty and venal Borough, by
eagerness in issuing peremptory orders for the Bribery Oath
to be administered, without any apparent plea from necessity,
and without the ordinary delicacies of discrimination. I have
enticed no man by bribes—l have intimidated no man by me-
naces—and, as to the pretensions of voters who have been
precipitately, and I should think, unhandsomely styled
impostors," the Scrutiny shews most incontestably, that
such pretensions, if such there were, have not been counte-
nanced by me. Doubtless, in the hurry of a contest so spi-
rited in itself, and so unforeseen by my well-wishers, possible
it is, that among those who supported, as well as those who
opposed me, several persons have innocently fallen into mis-
takes about the nature of their property, and the extent of
their qualifications.—But my sense of propriety would not
have suffered me to charge imposture upon any man, or any
bodies of men, unless I were in possession .of the clearest
proofs • and my long-acquaintance. with the frank and manly
charader of the Freeholders of Norfolk, abundantly convinces
me, that no one class of them deserves to be mentioned in
opprobrious terms —For my part, I am accustomed to ho-
nour their zeal, whether the direetion it takeS be favourable
or unfavourable to myself; and I ant determined to vindicate
their rights, from, whatsoever quarter they may be attacked.
Through every stage of the present Contest, it has been
my earnest desire to abstain from unprovoked and unbecom-
ing reproaches towards every man, who, from the honest
conviction of his own ,mind, supported my Competitor.—
But when my Opponents stand forth as my accusers, they
would do well to remember, that so far as my suffrages in
Parliament, or nay influence out of it, could have extended,
no Husbandman or Manufadurer would have been bereaved
ofthe fruits of his honest industry, or dragged from the land
of his fathers, to-perish in foreign climes ; no lovely charities
of social life, by which friend is endeared to friend, or neigh-
bour to neighbour, would have been interrupted; rio bur-
thensome taxes would have been imposed ; no innovations
would have been craftily introduced into Government ; no
rigour would have been waatonly exercised without the
`sandlot' of Law •, no Altar would have been prophaned ; no
Throne would have been endangered ; no Cottage would
have been visited by lite sorest scourges of Heaven, pestilence,
famine, and the sword.
Prepared alike against the snare of solicitation, and the din
of threats, I disdain to desert in reality, or even appearance,
the genuine dodrines of Whiggism—l found in common sense
and common honesty, sufficient preservatives for myself,
against the contagion f popular panic, and the sedudion of
high, but in some instances I fear, corrupt example—l looked
for national honour in national security—ter national security
in Peace—and tbr Peace, in the triumph of wisdom over
prejudice, of justice over passion, .and of magnanimity over
real or pretended tears. _

For the rule of my condua, I have again and again referred
you, not to romantic and novel theories, but to those prac-
tical and sound Principles, which ailbrded to our ancestors
the surest protection for their happiness as men, and their
privileges as Englishmen Principles; which acquired,
surely, additional authority and 'additions," lustre under the
auspices of William 111. and which, in succeeding reigns
stern to have been deeply incorporated into the opinions, the
habits, and the laws of an enlightened people, who were '
conscious of having.been delivered, without blootshed, from
the perils of civi I and teligioUs bondage. —By those Principles,
was I enabled to discern the transcendental and charaderistic
excellence of_ a Constitution, which, like our own, had
placed not.only the strongest, but the very clearest bounda-
ries between the-use and abuse of power, on the one hand,
and bet Ween liberty and licentiousness on the other. To
those Principles I adhered, hot only during the smooth and
prosperous flow of public affairs, but amidst those occa-
sional agitations of theipublic mind, to which every form of
.Government, contrived by human wisdom, but administered
by human infirmity, must inevitably be exposed.—From
those Principles I swerved not, under the multiplied diffi-
culties of two eventful Wars. Guided by those Prin-
ciples, I formerly strove to avert that necessity, which
severed our American Colonies from the Mother Country,
after a profuse expenditure of treasure and of blood. At
a later period, 1 was taught by those principles, to la-
ment and to oppose that system of Administration, which,
according to the sober and avowed judgment of almost
every Englishman, and almost every party, finally left
us no other alternative, than a continuance of hostilities,
by which England might have been subjected to fresh
and grinding taxation, in fresh• and unprofitable efforts,
or the cessation of them, upon terms which have given
t ) France increased security from all she has recovered,
and increased aggrandizement from all she had acquir-
ed. 1 t is now become my indiSpensable /and most pleas-
ing duty, to employ those principles in diffusiug and per-
petuating the blessings which Providence has graciously
bestowed upon us by the return of Peace; .and if any deplora-
ble change in the politics of Europe should again bring my
Country into a's:tate of Warfare, I shall again have recourse
to the same principles, as the most efficacious means of al-
leviating its calamities,' and shortening its duration.
Surely, he that recommends such principles by precept,
or enforces them by example, ought not to be hunted down
by rude-and savage clamour, as the enemy of civilization-as
the disturber of good order—as a lacobin, who, in the de-
testable spirit of the crew, and, according to the-only justifi-
able useof the word, would plunder his Superiors, tyran-
nize over his Countrymen, murder his Governors, and blas-
pheme his God. During the calm of Peace, there cannot be
even the colour of a reason for the repetition of that hideous
jargon, which begUiled ,and exasperated the minds of men in
the gloomy and tempestuous season of War.

Far be it from me to condemn in other men, that exercise
of free and impartial judgment, which I have ever asserted
for myself : but if any persons there be, who, deaf to the
warnings of recent experience, are yet determined to persist
in undisguised, undistinguishing, unrelenting hostility, to
the principles for which contend, it cannot be improper to
remind them, that they may themselves unwarily realize the
mischiefs which they loudly deprecate, and eventually be-
come the destroyers, not the preservers, of National Strength,
consolidated by National Union, and' invigorated by Consti-
tutional Liberty.
At such a junaure as the present, it were vain to expeet
that every Freeholder should assent to every opinion, or ap-
prove of every measure, for which I hold myself responsible
to the County, and to the Public—But 1 am resolved to de-
ceive no man, iba he friendly or adveese to me, though I am
aware, that by executing that resolution, ; may chance to
offend in some quarters, where it is impossible for me to
please, without 'the baseness of duplicity, or the meanness of
cowardice. Be then assured, Gentlemen, that no man living
feels more sincere reverence than I do for Loyalty, as a pre-
cious and sacred homage due to Power, wheresover Power,
under theiguidance of Law, is employed in 'fostering merit,
in proteCting innocence, and in dispensing equal justice to
every subject of every class. But Heaven forbid, that un-
der -the disguise, or I should rather say, by the prostitution
of this or any other Venerable name, should sulorender my
independence, or violate my conscience—that for selfish pur-
poses of venality or ambition, I should be the betrayer, when
I have pledged myself to be a guardian, of the Public Weal ;
—That 1 should-endeavour to'decoy others, or suffer myself
to be decoyed into sottish credulity, 'or abjed thraldom.—
On the contrary, is my to be esteemed a free and un-
corrupt Member of Parliament, in a free and civilized So-
eiety, cveryincinixtr of which must have a common interest
and a common duty, in quelling the outrages of faction, and
watching against the encroachments of oppression.
Reflecting iin the magnitude of the Trust winch you have
again reposed in me, I thought myself bounden, thus u nreserV-
eat), and finis seriously, to lay before you the fixed sentiments
of my.souI:HIIONC my Country—l am thankful to you my
Constituents—and to the la; est hour of my existence, it will
berm coOstant aim to promote your welfare, anti my highest
ambition to be honoured by your support.
1 am, Gentlemen, with the greateSt respect,
and most unalterable attachment,
Your much obliged and obedient humble Servant.

SoLEK QUIS DICZAZ rAt.sum AUDIAT I

• LONDON, SEPTEMBER 7,18 oz.

Ws this morning received the, Paris Papers of
the 3d and 4th inst. Their contents are not very
important. A Conspiracy has been discovered at
Berne, the objet of which was to overturn the
new Government, in consequence of which, it was
judged necessary to suspend the march of the
Troops who were under orders to proceed to Lu-
cerne to reinforce General ANDERMATT.

Letters from Marie;lles state, that a Vessel had
arrived there from Algiers, which brought very sa-
tisfaftory Dispatches for the French Government.
The French 'unds have risen nearly one per Cent.
they were 51. 80.

His MAJESTY will hold a Levee to.morrow at
St. James's Palace.
The QUEEN, it is said, does not hold a Court
this week.

The Court goes out of Mourning on Thursday
next.

His MAJESTY, it is said, intends to reside at
Hampton Court Palace, which has been fitted up in
a stile of superior elegance.
The PRINCE of WALES arrived at Windsor on
Sunday from Brighton, to pay his respeas to THE IR
M 4 J ESTI ES, on their return from Weymouth. His
Royal Highness does not come to town, but returns
to Brighton.
Lord NE LRON and his party returned on Sunday
to Merton, from their tour through a part of the
West of England.
This morning arrived a Mail from the Leeward
Islands, brought to' Falmouth by the Chesterfield
Packet, in 23 days.

On Friday three companies of the Guards marched
into Winchester from Weymouth, and on Saturday
morning they continued their march towards the
Metropolis. Three other companies marched in on
Saturday, to proceed on the same route on Monday.

A Letter from Dublin, dated September 2, says,
" Monday pus Excellency the LORD -LIEUTE.
NANT, and suite, left Town for a southern tour.—
His Excellency stopped yesterday at Harristown, in
the County of Kildare, the country seat of JOHN
LATOUCHE, sen. Esq. His Excellency visits No-
blemen at Waterford, Curraghniore, Castlemarcyr,
Castlemary, Cork, Killarney, Doneraile, Knock-
lofty, and many other places, to which His Excel.
lency has hal pressing invitations.

On thur.;day morning last, a duel was fought
between Mr. O'MtALY-, of Galway, and Sir T.
TRENCH, of Woodlawn, near the said town, in
which the former Gentleman was killed, and the
latter wounded.

The cause of General LASNES' abrupt departure
from the Court of Lisbon is now pretty well ascer-
tained. It originated in a fracas with the Officers
of the Police and Customs. When the Ambassador
first arrived at Lisbon, the populace were astonished
at the immense quantity of baggage he brought
with him. Yet all this baggage was held sacred,
and passed unsearched, as the property of the Em-
bassy. For the double purpose of pomp and secu.
rity, it was escorted by a Corps of French Troops—
a novelty in the etiquette of embassies.
•
The Court of Portugal were, it is said, well in-
formed that it contained contraband goods to a great
amount, which the Ambassador's servants had dis-
posed of to good advantage. Yet the Pi ince Regent
generously overlooked this breach of honour on the
part of his new friends. He treated the Ambassador
with the most distinguished civilities ; made him
presents of considerable value ; part of which, con-
sisting of jewels, to the amount (as we are assured)
of to,oool. are now in possession of Madame. LAS-
NES. But the Ambassador, it appears, was not to be
won by these civilities. Contraband goods were daily
arriving, under pretence of goods for the Ambassador.
A t length the Officers of Police and Customs insisted
on searching these goods. This was resisted by.
sLieneral I,A,sres, who haughtily insisted that the
Minister of Police and Customs, with some other
Officers, should be disinissd their offices, for their
presumption. The Prince Regent wished to con-
ciliate matters ; but the impetuous General demand-
ed too much to be complied with ; and it was
hinted to him, that his passports were ready, if he
chose to quit Lisbon. He accordingly departed with
characteristic precipitation. The Court of Portugal
immediately announced his departure in the (A-
cial Gazette, in which it is stated, that '' there
does not exist any ;Lethal (Nett of discussion be-
tween the two Governments which can alter, in the
slightest degree, the happy relations of this country
and France ;" and that "General LAsNEs left this
Court from his own proper will ; and which was the
more unexpected, as there had been the most con-
stant and repeated civilities and attentionA paid to
hiin by-this,Court."
MadameAAsNEs is very young---apparently not
exceeding twenty ; a fine figure, and the expression
of • her countenance tender and interesting.

The property of the ci-devant Stadtholder in the
Belgic Provinces has been valued at from 5 to
600,0c0 Fiotin:i. The property which he possesses
in the Baravian Republic amounts to about
8,000,000 of Florins, independently of the Re-
venues attached to the office of nereditary Stad.
tholder.
