London, June 9G, 1R18•

MR. EDITOR,--I was soineWhat surprized at
the manner in which you notice the obtrusive
speech of the beaten Candidate, Mr. KINNAIIID,
the other day on the Hustings, and that you
should talk of his cmndour,* in deprecating the
mode of attack by an infuriated mob !Too the
person of* Sir 11iiarscY iil.axwat.G. Where was
this candour, whet) this person or his adherents
provoked a hired mob to overwhelm and destroy
every
~thing-tbat wore the tare of loyalty or law
Where was tire candour of alfecting to deplore the
artack upon Sir AlnatiAY, whilst every member of
the existing Uovcrumeor, and Arnne by namO, were
directly pointed out Hnd proscribed, as tit victims
for popular rage and vengeanee, thus artificially
and thus wickedly excited ? What has the poor
deapicable Outcast HuNT done more deserv-
ing nor hatred and contempt ? What can he
do more than single out victims for assassination
to a mob, hired, and excited by intoxication, to
do the work of their employers ? And who is
this• Mr. KINNAI RD, for whom even desperation it-
self could not pi °three an hundred of the rabble
to vote ? ',Who is this mighty Neformer, who
holds every man corrupt who is in the public em-
ploy—and who directs a bribed mob to cut off at a
blow- all tire Public Functionaries of the State )
A Banker f Arid how., it may be asked, has this
\yorthy patriot made the money of which he is said
o be soproftise, in supporting the Purity of Election?
By banking ! And what is banking ? 1 profess tint
to understand the mysteries of this calling, but in
one conclusion we must inevitably concur—thar
Mr. K IN'a %tan is enriched by holding other men's.
.propeity.in his !mods, anti that THE PRlNcing
thick ime.unjuatsly charges upon, those who are
entrusted with the public nmuey must be truly
acted 'Awn by hithsey, or he must he as poor at
tire end. of the year as at the beginning. I
mean no disparagement to the calling which he
follows, in which are engaged sonic of the most
honourable characters in the country—hut 1 do
protest. against. the infamous and ungrounded
charge of corruption against men who faithfully
account for every sixpence of the public money"
committed to their care, by those who live,
and lire like Princes; upon the interest of other
men's property. Bit again I mok, who is this
man ? We know him but as the brother of a
Scotch Batofv; who is Only distinguished from the
mass of mankind by having officiously obtruded
himself into the intrigues and cabals of BUoNA-
r %UTE, MURAT, and their associates in tyranny
and usurpation ; and this, I Should conceive, will
uot furnish the banker with a Letter of Credit upon
a British Public ! ,On the contrary, they have
dishonoured it (to speak in his own vocation), and
turned him, when be presented it, from their
doors. And is he now to dictate to those who
have thus decidedly registered their opinion of
him—or shall the people he turned loose upon
the Public Functionaries, like SamrsoN's Foxes,
with Firebrands at their tails, to destroy and an-
nihilate tire. Laws and Institutions of our Forefa-
thers, to avenge the cause of this disappointed
Demagogue I No, Sir ; let Mr. KINNArao stick
to his counter, to tyhich he has adapted Iris nobi-
lity, such as it is ; or if he wishes to let loose tire
mob olio!) the property of the mition, let him throw
open the doors of his own firm, as a foretaste of
the good things he professes to have in store for
them. Alas, poor man ! how sickly and ghastly
would ire look at the bare proposal of such a
scheme l Yet, does he not see that he is arm-
fog men against himself ; whilst he vainly sup-
pose.% he may avert their weapons from being em-
ployed against himself,. Let him rest assured he
would not be the last victini to his own rashness
and stupidity I Let ORLBANs, let LGALITE, if
he have ever heard of such a being, read him a
lecture. upon his present folly.
But, Sir, if these men, these ByRDETTS and
KINNAIRDS, and HUNTS, (for I really can per-
ceive no line of deniarcation between them, ex-
cept that the two former are richer, and have the
means of wore. effectually corriipting the People,)
are to be reprobated for their principles, how much
more so arc they to be despised for their incon-
rsstency? They talk of Purity of Election, -anti de-
precate all interference with the independent deci-
sion of People. The experiment was indeed
tried, and the People, left to their independent and
Unbiassed choice, REJECTED BURDETT, KINNAIRD,
CART,VRIGHT, anti HUNT. The money of the
Committees prevented BURDETT from the degra-
dation of counting votes by units, like his other
three Rivals in Patriotism ;- but the Public Voice
was clearly and decidedly given against his re•elec-
tiro!

Tot: Ituctt appears more likely to prevail at this
period than at any former one, because the same
game was played with success at the French Re-

but all have been working to one en:l—and popu-

assassination of the Public Administrators—if
they mark not their horror at the attempt upon
the life of a Candidate, and that Candidate a
British Naval Officer, a character which has
hitherto been held sacred by the very dregs of the
Rabble—if they do not take warning by what has
already been effected by this same cabal in the
City of London and the Borough of Southwark,
the period and the chance will no longer 'be in
their hands, when the House of Commons is re-

!CLEM QUI! DICERE FALSUM AUDEAT ?

LONDON,
MONDAY, JUNE 29, ISIS.

We received yesterday the Paris Papers of
Thursday last, and this morning those of Friday.
.The Journals of Wednesday arrived on Saturday
afternoon, and were immediately noticed by us in
a Second Edition.

One of the Papers states, that in consequence
of the various reports in circulation respecting the
objects of the intended Congress at Aix-la-Cha-
pelle, the Court of Prussia has thought it right to
issue a declaration for the purpose of contradict-
ing them. The Count de Got.Tz, the Prussian
INlinister Plenipotentiary at the Diet of Frankfort,
has therefore been directed by his Court to make,
in the name of his :....'overeign, a formal declara-
tion, " that it is not a new Congress in the sense
of that of Vienna which Is to ascemble at Aix-la-
Chapelle, but fuerdy a wect log of Mouecits

that this meeting ‘‘ ill have nothing to do with
any exchange of territory; and that, in addi•ion
to the strengthening of die ties of friendship be-
tween the Sovereigns, it will have no other object
except to determine upon the attitude to be as-
sined by Germany, after the evacuation of France
by the Allied troops, in order to maintain and
secure the genet al tranquillity and peace of Lu-
rope." The declaration adds, that the assem-
blage alluded to not being in the form of a Con 7;
Kress, but merely a friendly and confidential meet-
ing, no DiploMatic Agent from any other Sove-
•i'eigri or Court will be admitted. The Prussian
Legation at Paris has also addressed, in the form
of a circular, a similar declaratihn to the other
Legations at that Court.—Austria and Ltinsia have
likewise made similar declarations.

The il7oniteur of Friday publishes officially a
Royal Ordonnance, dated the 24ili instant, di-
tectiug, for the purpose of more effectually abo-
lishing the Shve Trade, as follows -..--", There
shall be constantly stationed on the coast of our
Establishmeuts in Africa, a cruiser of our marine,
for the purpose of visiting all French vtssels ap-
pearing olf the shores of our possessions on the
said coast, and to prevent all infractions' of our
Chdonnauce of the Bth January 18)7, and of our
•
law of the 15th April ISIS."

A ship of the line of 74 guns, name Le Duke
de Berry, was launched at Rochfurt on the lt3th
instant.

A contagious malady, said in some accounts
to be the plague, has manifested itself at Cattaro
and its neighbourhood.

The Duke ot WELLINGTON left .Paris on Mon-
day morning last for Cambray, but wits expected
to return in the course of a few days.

The Queen of WuRTEMBERG was safely deliver-
ed of a Princess on the 17th instant.

The Russian General de WI N ZING RODE died
suddenly cm the 17th inst. at Wisbaden.
From'Chamhery it is stated, that a violent
shock of an earthquake occurred at the. tillage of
Metz, on the 17th instant, which continued for
nearly a minute. •

The waters of the Drance, in the Valais, which
had been dammed up by the fall of a mass of
ice from the mountains, are stated, in an article
from Geneva, to have been set in motion by the
fall of another mass, and to h►►ve inundeed, in
consequence, a considerable track of country,
and destroyed several villages.
The PORTII is Sdid to be putting in the best
state of defence all the places capable of being
fortified on the frontiers of Russia and Austtia.
