TO THE REV. J. W. CUNNINGHAM.

Ste—Although very much averse to eider into whit is
usually termed a paper war, I feel that Lshould, he wanting
in what is due to my friends as well as to myself, were not
to give a public answer-to the letter you have thouglit fit to
address to me in The New Times of yesterday. '
And first, Sir, allow me to observe, that Lcannot think the
Public Paper the best mode. you could have adopted to con-
vey advice to a young man witlywhoto you are personally ac-
gnainted, and to whom yotiliare7expressed yoursilf a sincere
well-wisher. '`• ' „

Int-eply to the very extraordinary questions you bare put to
me, and to the very unfair
.and unmerited insinuations you.
have thrown out against me, I answer, that intimately-con-'
nected as I have the honour to he, with the County of Mid-
dlesex, Ithink it my duty, when called upon, to attend any
public meeting, 'rely assembled,'Which takes place within
the County; and, Sir,-if you had thought it ty-ortb while to
have attended to the sentiments•l have expressed at the late
Meetings, you would have &mod that I have uniformly ab-
stained From giving any opinion upon subjects of which Iliad.
had no opportunity to judge. . • •
It is true I have, invariably expressed, and shall continue on
every occasion to otpresS, the abhorrence and detestation 1
feel ht tlie malignity with- Which her Majesty has been per-
secuted ever since.the pei ktot her marriage ; and, above all,
at the attempt which is notv, finally made to effect her ruin'_
underfalse and hypoeritlial-nreteuces, as it appears to
without any object a- st;it: e fibliey-to justify it and by rbeans`
which, if successful, I must consider as giving a fatal blow to
the Constitution of this Country.
And now, Sir, I must repel with indigoation a 'charge,
that, cotisidering the high sit oat ion:which your character and
your-talents command, I should have thought benea,th you to
I hope, Sir, that I have inherited some hbnesty, and I hope
that Will secure to mina permanent place, in t hefesPeet And
esteem sof the lnhahitabts of this county; but allow me to
add, that I never will condescend to utter bne word that I
do -riot fjel, nor to give one opinion in'opposition to toy con
science, in order to gain a single vote—not even .to gain that
vote, upon which you lay so much value yourself in th-e.be-
ginning of sour letter.' •
I have only to Add, that if any friend, who has !by good in
view,. intends to give me advice, and wishes me ta;believe
him sincere, I earnestly hope he will choose a Amu!: friendly
manner than the line you have thought fit to adopt.

W. H. FOLLIOTT, Esq.—We received a letter
from Chester this morning, dated on Saturdayjn

that the report is intended as a hoax on this
