..'Hyde Park and Kensingtan Gardens wereyesm
terday visited by all the votaries of fashion, wh@
have not yet repaired to their country seats, to pass
the Easter holidays ; the line of carriages extended
round the Park ; and the fineness of the day caused
Ile- landaus, landaulets, barouches, phaetons, and
curricles, to be thrown open by their fair occupants.
Mr. NI A DDOX'S attempt to vindicate his friend Sir
FRANCIS BURDETT from cli,ingenuousness towards
the Serjeant at Arms is as unlucky as Mr. CLIP'
Pi 0 S to clear himself of being the prime mover
of the illiberal bye-law at•Lincona's Inn. The let-
ter of Sir Fitat•icis is before the public, and in that
letter he says he shall be happy to see the Serjeant
the next morning ; the fair Implication of which
language is, that he would be ready to surrender to,
the warrant. Till Mr. AlAnDox. °` can rail the sear
and signature from the Baronet's letter he " but of.
fends his lungs," in the fruitless attempt to excuse
the Writer. Would Mr, MADDox feel himself com-
fortable, and think he main:a.ncd toe character of
a Gentleman, if such conduct had been imputed IQ
him ?
