COvENTRY, MARCH.I2.—I make no doubt you
s'e anxious to know what is passing in Coventry
respecting the Election erf Representatives, and
therefore have sent a brief retrospect of the oc-
eltrrences since my last, in which I mentioned the
arrival of the notorious CORBETT, who lost no
lime in presenting himself amongst his advo-
cates, When the dissolution of the Parliament
was announced, and after some delay on the road,
°'Pecially at Donchutch, for want of carriages,
he arrived here on Tuesday, the 29th February,
about four o'clock, and paraded the streets, sit-
on the bar of an old post-chaise, in which
Were his slaughter, one son, and Mr. JAMES
GRANT., with a Mazarine flag as a trophy, taken
from some of the Old Blues in the morn-
ing. He afterwards addressed the people from
4 window in the High-street, occupied by a Mr.
SARIEANT, from Leicester, at considerable Is;agth,
slating the good he should he able to accomplish
for them if they returned him ; that Coventry
had not been represented in Parliament for the
lest 20 years, that the present Members, MoottE
4nd ELLICE bad done nothing ; an'l that it was
in his power to do more than all the tithe' 660
Members put together, for the Nation's benefit,
etc. &c., with such like nonsense and egotism,
leith which he '2utertained them more than an
sour, and at:erwx la they were provided with
Plenty of feasting . •siv4te houses in the dif-
ferent Wards. March oe 6,11 was announced
for the Entrée of Moorta and ELLICE at 12 o'clock,
and a great number of persons went out to meet
them on the Whitley Common, where the horses
'Were taken from their carriages, and they drawn
Ihro' the different streets with considerable clamour
and rejoicings, their party having defeated Coo-
Beres at the end of Muchpark-street, 50 or 60
horsemen being provided fur that purpose, who
ROde full gallop on the multitude, trampling upon
°ad beating numbers, who are at this time
lSriously injured. Old and young, whet her
°DPcsnents or not, were indiscriminately knock-
" glown, whilst the heroes of the tragedy
sat composed in their carriages enjoying the scene;
this of course produced a furious temper on both
sates, which has increased in violence every day
%ince, and were Ow to see the bruised faces and
thek eyes there is in 911 directions, you might
"Ppose there had been a general boxing match
"'rough the city.
On the morning of Election, Wednesday, a
ttrilleman presented himself et, an Independent
Candidate, who is properly noticed in M ERRIDEW'S
Paper of Friday last, and was sanctioned by many
of the most respectable Bankers, Gentlemen, and
Trallestiien in the City, affording an opportunity
fur the well-disposed Freemen to vote upon
teal Constitutioaal principles—but the want of
aPPartunity and time to call upon, or be
Previously acquainted with the , Voters, occa-
'l6°lted his only having 28 votes the first day,
*bid' was increased to 98 on the second, and
II
great probability of his sure return had pa-
tience been its exercise ; but be wds so much
discouraged, that Friday morning brought his
Zoignation in form, and of course the contest has
tea carried on with great violence betwixt Jag.
ltraaut anti Tom Paine. On Friday, the Party
il eloaging to M. and E. proceeded to rioting, and
Nil species of abuse which they could exer-
'tile short of murder,, with the iutention of
riting COBBETT away; but on Saturday, their
rlneeedings were dreadful. After the polling
00aa Wades most inflammatory Speech, and the
4 l(th went directly to Mr. SERJEANT'S (where Cos -
x
f d
eTT was), broke the windows, shutters, doors, and
force
`f into the house, broke the furni-
ture, mirrors, &c. and the Magistrates and Police
I Were "In for, the Riot Act read, 50 Police Men set
o parade
the' street, from the Broad-gate to Jot..
" Well, with staves and torches, who would
not
stiffer any person to stop, but made all
Push forward all the evening. Mr. SERJUANT
ds very ill treated, and the professed de.
" of the mob was to kill COBBETT, if they
tow,
evt have laid hold of him. Several persons
tit r.e cut with knives, and oue of the assailants
an instrument like 'a Lochabar axe, with
b7..b!! It he wounded many people. However,
eietne vigilance of the Police every thing has
ex (Plitt in the night and this day, butt I
Peet shocking work to-morrow at the booth,
nev ail the parties are in a state of ferment I
than saw here before; it is ten times worse
soil " the last Election ; the hustling, beating,
tearing of clothes, is beyond my power to de-
which took place on Friday and Saturday.
‘e e first indication of riot was on Friday,
ttit d parcel of the Spor•street Ruffians
drums di. I fifes, and began to rally about
halt. ►ass
tl,e
ol
before the closing of
Pl for three, just
the day, carrying
a wooden skeleton

ttn a pole, and scrotal minor exhibitions of bones
on three large sticks—a cow's head all bloody,
with the skin on another pole, &c. which they pa-
raded round the booth with, and through the
streets, several dines. On Saturday they got a
s►one-mason's handbarrow, and laid a man upon
it, covered with a great coat, face blacked to ap-
pear dead, with mock parsons before and mour-
ners in black cloaks after, carried by 4 men, and
a lamb hung upon a wile by the neck with the
skin on, with states of the poll, and other inflam-
matory placards, on different poles, and being sup-
plied with plenty of gin, they were roused up to a
state of savage frenzy more like demons than
men. Many of them declared they would kill
COUBETT, or have the house down. Thank God,
we hare a Sabbath to ease our minds and rest our
bodies :at '•resent is quiet.
You may depend upon what I have written be-
ing true, though not to half the extent of the
mischief done or cruelty exercised by these men
of violence and lies, who would tyrannize over
this City if we bad. not a moderate Magistracy.
