Salisbury, Nor, 19, 1817•

MIL EDITOR,—As I perceive in your late co-
pious extracts from Provincial Journals, you take
no notice of Salisbury, or the feelings which have
actuated the inhabitants of this City, in the uni-
versal gloom and despondency which pervade the
whole British Empire for our irreparable loss, 1
am induced (fearing you, like many other persons,
have formed an erroneous opinion of the loyalty
of this place) to give you an account of the effect
the Death of our beloved and ever-to-be-lamented
Princess has had on our behaviour. From the
day of the arrival of the fatal news, there has
been one teJnig alone manifest—that of deep tie•
jeCtion ; rite mourning is as universal as deep ;
even many of the lowest mechanics, out of their
scanty pittance, have found wherewithal to pur-
chase the exterior of woe; and, if we may judge
from the " dejected 'haviour of the visage," the
inhabitants at large have, indeed, " that within
which passeth show." All amusements of every
description have ceased ; the Fete which the
Mayor annually gives on his election to the Town
and neighbourhood, has been postponed, sine die;
-and the Body Corporate, with the insignia of of-
fice, and their robes bedecked with crape, attend-
ed Divine Service this day at the Mayor's Parish
Church. The Churches are all hung with black,
the beds tolling, the shops closely shut, and every
thing, as well as person,. bears the marks of the
most unfeigned sorrow. The inhabitants of this
City and Close tecl the loss with redoubled force,
her late Royal Highness having .been personally
known to ►nary of the latter place, and seen often
by most, if not all, of the inhabitants of the
former, in her journies to ar:d from ‘Veymouth,
and her visit to our reverend bishop, and they can
all bear witness to her gracious and endearing eon-
descentions on those occasions.

Mr. Editor, 1 have been thus minute in my at-
tempt at describing our sorrow, more particularly
for the purpose of refuting those calumnious as-
persions, which persons, for effecting their own
nefarious ends, have thought proper on, many oc-
casions to cast on the loyalty of this ancient City.,
On the first view of things, I grant you, it looks
a little suspicious that their aspersions are not
without some foundation, both our Members be-
ing in the constant habit of voting in the mi-
nority, and bne ot them, Lord Folkestone (to
say the least), being a violent oppositionist. But,
Sir, I assert, and can, if necessary, prove my as-
sertion, that by far the greater number of Citi-
zens, and all the most respectable part of them,
are staunch Government men, firmly attached to
their King and Constitution ; and 1 have no hesi-
tation in saying, that if the sense of the Citizens
at large were to be taken on the subject of such
vital importance to their dearest interests, viz the
Election of Members to represent them in Parlia-
ment, instead of its being.confined to an aristo-
cratic body ot 54, the Noble Lord would pot,
with all his interest, be returned again for Salis-
bury ; and the country would be convinced, by
the choice of the Citizens, that this ancient City
is not to be surpassed by any in his Majesty's
Dominions for true loyalty and affection for its
beloved King and his august Family.
By inserting the above letter in your widely
circulated Paper, you will oblige a constant
Reader.
