°P A LETTER rnom GENERAL SARRAZIN TO
I.IIS UNCLE, MR. FICHER, A MERCH .NT IN
LEEDS,

o'clock, attended by Mr. Wishart, Major Cartwright,
Mr. Friend, and others.
As the cloth was removing, Mr. WISHART in-
formed the company, that Sir Francis Burdett was
then drinking their ,healths, and was glad to see
them there that day.
This intimation was rapturously received.
The CHAIRMAN then addressed the Meeting, and
adverted to the condutt of the House of Commons

.`
MOST HONOURED UNCLE,
:AS the letter attributed to Madame Sarrazin
must have have alarmed you, I hasten to write to
you= in order to traoquilize. you with regard to the
fate of my spouse.
" Previous to my departure from Boulogne; I
a°°k care to make a solid provision for her support,
and remitted her a year's allowance in advance. I
e
ntlrl give-you farther information on this head at
"le Present moment.. .
1 Madame Sarrazin 'is in possession of her fami-
,Property, which I never touched. A w ell-fur-
"tied house and wardrobe, a number of jewels,
and
other valgabiel, completely attest the sincerity
of my attentions, and my attachment for her and
my son.
b Buonaparte may confiscate what I have left at
440410gne; Aladame Sarrdzin, I . assure you, does
3:l°t stand in need of it.
I.'l challenge Buonaparte to publish the letters
written to my son. Buonaparte wishes to get that
11'"In within his grasp. This is the objeot of the
lter, which was eithc.r fabricvd, or extorted by
Ilie violence of his agents from Madanie Sarrazin ;
an_
excellent, but delicate and timid woman.,
4‘ Buonaparte snakes my wife say, that I have

her 3% a native of Switzerland, though, he perfetily
Zell knows that she is an Engksh woman, having
en born at Exeter.

during the last Session of Parlament; observing, that
none of their aelions excited so much disgust Ai the

confinement of one individual in Newgate; and,their
worthy Representative in the Tower, for what they
deemed a libel, and a breach of Privilege, frOm which
they had not long been liberated. The Meeting of
that day was held in• consequence of the wishes off
a number of inhabitants, who desired an opportunity
of testifying their esteem for their worthy Repre-
sentative, and their approbation of his ConduCt. • He
concluded by giving

The Law, the King, and the People;
which was drunk with latt4
.applause.
The band next played God save the King."
The next toast given was,
•
The Liberty of the. Press ;
which was drunk with. applause.
Mr. Was tiAliT gave—
Privilege and Prerogative according to Law ;

" My reply to fluonaparte will not appear until
the 6th of August, in consequence of a delay in the
lir,int'ug. I shell take care to set.d you a copy of it.
:Ile following fad, which not staied.in it, will
finish you with a key to the hatred which Batt-
ilaparte„bears towards me.

Ten years ago, Madame Murat, proposed to me
rn do as .many other Generals had done, who had
4lstnissed the wives they bad married in foreign
F,thintries for the' purpose of espousing French
J-4dies. This was at a grand dinner which she
gave, followed by a ball. Madame Campan, ac--
(.ording to public rumour, Buonapartis mistress of.
the revels, was there, with a number cif the most
fascinating /her nymphs. I answered that I was
an honest man, and w0...1d keep my wife. On my
return from .St. Domingo, whither,l was sent only
In the expetation that I snould there find my
grave, I ytas coldly received, and given to under-
stand,,_ that the religion as well as the education of
Aladame Sarrazin, prevented her being received at
}?nurt, Madame' Murat also refused to receive
My spouse signified a wish to visit her pa-
tents, who reside in Switzerland; and Buonaparte
hiving ordered me to set off to take the command
In the island of Cadsand—to dire& her to join me,
have been to sacrifice both her and my son to
climate much more pestilential than that of the
lsle .of Walcheren. From that moment I adopted
formed
resolution to quit the service of Buonaparte, and
2rrned such arrangements as to make them late in-
"Pendent of mine. But for my wishes to atcorn,
Plish this objeEt, I should have been in England up-
/P.11'439 0f a year ago.
What enrages Buonaparte against me is, that
he cannot tell the public that I am a coward, a
Plunderer, or a blockhead. My remarks will prove
Ito him that I am neither a madman, nor a bad
husband.

." Though my father-in-law, in consequence of
ttts losses in trade, has been able to give sue only
all the dowry promised me, I am not, on that ac-
toont, the less faithful .to my engagements. -
`I Neither policy, nor the: desire of riches, shall
ever make me seek for a divorce.
As Buonaparte causes all letters to be opened,
1: was requisite that my correspondence shc;taid, in
:Yery resped, be so concluded, as riot only to occa-
'l°ll no suspicions, but also to dissipate such as
aught be occasioned by malice or indiscretion. I
,nthv that Buonaparte is no less cunning than be is
reked. I had to regulate my actions and my writ-
.ll,gs accordingly. He has been my dupe ; and it is
the mortification he feels on 'that score, no less than
cla f6ar of seeing himself completely exposed, in
I,44equence of the knowledge Which I have bad
,l'ese fifteen years of all that , has passed in the
143tterior of his family, which has been the cause
I the ridiculous reports he has published respect-
-ng tile;
" Until I can have the pleasure of seeing you
:id Your family, .I beg you will accept the homage
my sincere devotion.
" I have the honour to be, &c.
(Signed) SARRA'ZIN."

which was received with enthusiasm.
WISHART said, he would not enumerate the
names of those who, by their virtuous conduct,
wished to remove existing evils, and ameliorate the
condition of he people. , Their liberties had been a -
sailed by those who were the enemies to Reform, and
Who exclaimed, when their corruption was attacked,
like those who opposed an ancient Reformer, " Great
is Diana of Ephesus." Cam.►en and Sydney did not
escape calumny, he observed, neither did he wort by
Representativvf Westminster escape attack from the
pens of the venal, and the tongues of those who were
interested in corruption, and therefore the good and
virtuous ought to unite in support of the common
cause. It was necessary for the purpose of unanimity
to bear with those who did not differ with us on
material points, and he hoped that the Meeting
would shew to their enemies, that they did not
meet for .the purpose of anarchy and confusion,
and that they were not to be intimidated by
threats, but that they met for, the good of the
country. , He would not ,take up any further
time of the Meeting, but conclude with giving

Letters Of the 27th and Papers of the 23d of June
have
been received from Ahcairt: They state that

the health of Sir Francis Burdett ;

which was succeeded by the most fervent applause,
which continued for some minutes.

.Sir FRANCIS BURDETT then rose, and-spoke to the
fullowing effeEt :—" Gentlemen, I- consider this as
One of the proudest and happiest periods of my life.
I have been always ready to acknowledge and to act
upon this principle, that, next after endeavouring to
do some service .in the situation where you have
placed me, one great *a with rne has been an
meet wall, and I hope io merit, your approbation.
Indeed I know of no other method of deserving and.
obtaining your app►obation, but that of securing the
applause of my own Mind ; and give me lease to
say, that I mist I shall never be boned aside trop
serving you, by any prospect of personal adVa, tap
on the one hand, or by any mode oftlireat or mini-
inidation on the other. -I! is a great satisfaction to
me, Gentlemen, to fee; a consciousness in my own'
mind of havin4 endeavoured to tatil the great trust
you have placed in me to the b .st of my ;
mil I have the satisfaction to know, that the great
cause of Parliamentary Reform, which we are all
united in considering as
-the• great object of our
efforts, has made great advances in all parts Of the
country, and I trust will finally prove triumphant.
It was imputed to us as a fault, and that even by
some, individuals, whom I believe men of respecta-
bili►y, that we (lid not attach ourselves to any par-
ty ; nay some have even gone so far as to assert,
that we are always endeavourng to calumniate
every public character. Btit, Gentlemen, •is it ca-
lumny to speak the truth of public men ? Let
those who make such assertions point
,out to us the
characters so calumniated, and then only will they
be entitled to bring such a charge against" uS. lam
well- aware that there are .honest men,' who hive
been the dupes of the dealers in party—Of those
men who only quarrel with one-another, not about

principle, but for power and emolument ; and I
haVe been severely found fault with by a friend of

Mine, on a former occasion, for having, as he 1.1
thought, attacked all play with too much severity. I
But, Gentlemen, my censure was only confined to fi

that party spirit which considers men, not measures;
in other words, to party without public principle,
where all is compromise, and principle is despised.
I say, that the prevalerr.v or such party spirit is the,
high road to the destruction of any peope.-1-lere,
Gentlemen, I beg leave to call your attention to a
speech lately published, and which purported to be
pronounced in the House of Lords by one of the
heads of those parties, which, however opposed in
other matters, were yet list Session united in this,
in supporting their privileges against the people.—
These united parties could hardly be called a Cer-
terra, but they might at least be called Bfrons.—
The speech to which I alluded purports to be the
speech of Earl Grey, and 'to be taken by a short
hand writer—thougn I no not mean to say that
it really was. the speech which he delivered. In
it there is a vast deal of specious liberality, mixed
up however, with copious abuse of those who are
called :he enemies of all parties. At the same time
the Noble Laid attempts to conciliate, as well as he
can, the former doarines on the subiect of • Parlia-
mentary Reform,. with the new practice and doc-
trines of the Whigs on that subject. The. Noble
Lord is also represented as accusing. some persons
with wishing to subvert the Constitution, under the
ereircce and mask of Reform. Now, Gentlemen,!
sure I am that none of those whom I haveatted.
with, hate Med on this principle. I never heard'
any demand mule by them but what is moderate—
what is sanctioned by the law ; and It'e who pre-
tends to be wiser- than the law, must be arrogant,
not modetate. Ido not mean to comment at great
ff length on this laboured, but sophtatical and futile
speech but there is one gnat lailacy in it, on the

subject Of what are termed, the Privileges of Parlia: , what! Jetty is an erbltrary pnweren IMP' e:
