To the WORTHY and INDEPRNDENT BURGESSES oil

the Borough of BERWICK UPON TWEED. 4
THE. London Committee of Sir FRANCIS BLARE, I
Ban. M.P. have seen an address put forth by a resident
Burgess, in reply to their's of the 9th instant, in which the writer
states that six Jed* called upon to ask, " how Sir F. BLASS has
rvineed that he is in every way better qualified, to maintain your
dignity and rights, than an individual who is an entire stranger to
you, and utterly ignorant of the best interests of the Borough," and i
whether such qualifications have been evinced by his "petitioning
against your rights." and thin asserts, " that on the last scrutiny,
he (Sir FRANCIS) petitioned the House of Commons to take away
Iron the younger Sons, Non-resident Burgesses, and such as did
not ray Poor's Kates, their privilege of voting at Elections for
Members of Parliament."
The Committee happily have it in their power to repel this asser-
tion, by an express denial. The Honourable Baronet never did
" petition the House of Commons to take away from the younger
Sons, Non-resident Burgesses, and such as did not pay Poor's Rates.
their privileges for voting at Elections for Members of Parliament."
The Petition against the return of Mr. OLADSTOWZ, to which
the Writer alludes, was not presented by Sir Disney; BLags, or
in his name, but by some of the Electors; nor can the Baronet be
in 'any manner charged or allied with the measures which they, or
their legal advisers, thought proper to adopt and pursue, in order to
.unseat that Gentleman. If any further refutation of so grossly
ease an assertion, that Sir FRANCIS " petitioned against your
Rights," were required from us at the present moment, we could
most triumphantly appeal to the long-tried integrity and consistency
by which your Representative has ever been distinguished in his
public conduct, and to the anxious desire manifested by him on
every occasion, to promote and protect alike the local and general
objects and interests of his constituents. We therefore beg once
more, respectfully, yet, confidently to assert, " That from the
worthy Baronet's long connection with you, and his intimate know-
ledge of the true interests of his constituents, combined with the
fact of his extensive Estates lying immediately contiguous to your
Borough, which he has so faithfully represented, he is in every
way better qualified to maintain your rights, than an Individual
who is an entire Stranger to the Fr --en of Barwick, and utterly
ignorant of the best Interests of the Borough."
The Committee of Sir Faawcis BLAKZ are unwilling at
to provoke unnecessary discussion ; nor do they feel it requt present
eentot
resort to the Public Prints or Hand-bills, to bolster up the Cause of
the Worthy Baronet : but disclaiming all feelings of personal hos-
tility, they cannot help observing that it would have tended more to
your dignity, and that of your Borough, and certainly been more con-
ducive to the Interest of the Gentleman whose cause the above
Writer has so prcminently and, no doubt, gratuitously, come for-
ward to support, had be kept not only•rds sentiments but his nesse
out of print.
White Hatt Tavern, Chancery Lane,

A letter has just been received from Sir FRANCIS BLARE, an-
nouncing his intention of being in Town to-morrow, or on Friday
next, for the purpose of paying his respects personally to his Brother
Burgesses resident in London, and its vicinity. The Committee are
empowered to state, that theWcethy Baronet's reception and canvass
in Berwick, and elsewhere, have been highly flattering, and most
successful.
