I am, Sir,
Your most obedient Servant,
JAMES Powiti,
Thursday, Julie if, Sec. to Committee of Frieli
6 past t t P.M. • - of Sit F. Burdett:
We Wetec received tv Sir Francis Burdett in ti.t
presence of his brother. Sir Francis said, his con-
duct this day had been the result of thedeepest re
11 .ction ; it had occupied his mind more thah hslt
the time he had been in the Tower ; that notwith-
standing the'. public might feel disappointed, and
would no doubt express that disappointment strongly,
yet I;e wag convinced that in less than sit weeks
there would not be a reflecting mind in the kingdom
• that IA ould not approve or what he had done. Our
enemies, he said, "had been base. enough to Charge
hint-With the blood that had barn shed; and had he,
by gratifying his 'personal lanity; been the cause of a
single accident, or the death °lntik person; he should
have reflecttd-upon it With pain for the remainder •
of his lite. We stated the 'little probability of, and
the precaution that had been taken to prevent,
even the possibility of mischief:` Sir Frantia
tlicre was nu answering for public frail,
Wrinklier stated that his determination ought to
hive beenmade known ; to this Sir Franck remark,•
ed, that it was 'alisointely necessary' there should be
au expression of public sentiment ; *that 'Was now,
complete, and his being in the procession could not'
have added thereto. We said, we wished that some
of our friends had been in the Tower, to have forced
Ilim hop the carriage. "
I.‘ Sir 'Francis expressed his gratitude for that ex-
pression of kindness, as indeed he did to all his
friends, but this wotild have had the appearance of
finesse ; that he looked only to the public cause,
Which
.he.was convinced would be benefited by his
conduct, and of this all his friends would no doubt bye
convinced."
