ro the GENTLEMEN, CLERGY, and FREEHOLbERS of

the COUNTY of MIDDLbSEIC.

-GENTLEMEN, •
Tr is gratifying. to observe. that my Appeal was,
411- not wholly made to you in vain, a majority having been
obtained by me on this day's Poll over both my Opponents.

Supineness, at this crisis, 'oust tend to degrade the
County frointhafelevated Character and Station which it has
hitherto maintained, and to impose on it the yoke of a Party
twice indignantly rejected. I invited you, in my Address' of
yesterday, to avert the evil with which you are, threatened,
and to recover, by zeal and energy, the ground which has
been lost. The promises with which I hare been honoured
are sufficient (if faithfully fulfilled) to ensure my return by
a large majority. •

The Cause is your own—to you its protection and success
:artist be confided; and it is for you to assert those loyal and
constitutional principles which have hitherto secured we your

itipport. • ' ' .
therefore, an solitit yona immediate attention at
.the Poll ; and have the honour to remain, Gentlemen,
Your devoted and faithful Servant,
WILLIAM MELLISH.

It bas been our chief 'aim in taking Extracts
front the PaoitttvciAL JQ-UROALS, to give en-
conragement to --the loyalty of their respective

Editors, by extending their reciliA§ beyond the
spherey of their, irmnediAte circulatiop,,,that the
reerits•of their several Papers :night be:known to
the Country at large. lor the advaniage of the
. .
people in general, we have not thought it, neces-
sary to transfer any Radical trash into our Co-
lumns'from those loornats, because the spirits 'of
•,_ 4 „
misehief are sufficiently .on the alert in all quar-
ters. The falsehood issued by the Times, import-
ing an intended increase of the Civil. List, might
•
he thought a mere electioneering trick, if the
wanton and deeplyrriuted malignity of that
etper against, Government on all occasions were
rnot too no-Carlo:is-. We Itaie this day, for the-
,:
first time, and we trust for the last, taken an ex-
tract from the Tyne Mercury, a Paper of con-
.
•
genial. principles with the ,Tinier.,, and net less
rancorous against Ministers, to shew bow readily
one Radical: Paper will copy from another. :The
Tyne Mercury has adopted this lie of the Times,
and has had 'the. hardilthod. tii,rsay,.that " the
Government Papers make a Jestiiricat denial of an
intention to add to the public bur:hens at all,"

though this particular falsehood was not covertly
but openly deniedHby,;khe.Morning. Post, the ;New
,Thnt?:s,-the Couriet ~artd th'i;Sun. The Tyne Merciiry,
however, is not contented with the mere origittal,
falsehood, but adds“ that"the Government Papers.
had DENIED that there was an intention to-add to/
the public-burdens at all." This denial those styled
the Government P6peri never did make, because
the Conductors did. not pretend to be acquainted
with all the views of Ministers, or 'to' presimic

hat the .revenues.of. the State were equal to all

,demands. We found with regret, that Mr. WHAR•
TON, the Member for Beverley, had made- the
same asseTtion respecting an intended addition to
the Civil List, because be could ;hardly be sup-
posed to act-upon the same despicable principles
as actuate the Times upon all occasions; But the
Tyne' Mercury does not state the difference be,
'ltveen the amount of the pretended addition, as

mentioned in' the Times, aratiii-'. WHAlttrirl,

though it supports the falsehood of the Time;,
rafter that Paper had ben obliged to abandon it;
We no►w subjoin the Extract referred to, that the
people of Northumberland may fully understand
the character of their Radical Journal and en-
courage it accordingly.

(Front Time Tyne Mercury, March 21, 1820.)

" THE CIVIL LIST.

" The rumour gains ground, that a considera-
ble addition is about to be made to that part of
the Civil List which is appropriated to the use of
his Majesty.

"The Times, London Newspaper, whose intel-
ligence on all subjects has for many years been .
most accurate as well as early, stated the augmen-
tation at half a million : Mr. Wharton, the inde-
pendent Member for Beverley, about the same
time, and wi►h'out there being the slightest ground
for a supposition that any communication haA
taken place from him to the Times, or front that
Journal to him, declared the intended increase to
be t wo The Government Papers make ft
Jesuitical denial of an intention to add to the pub-
lie burdens at all. Their friends give them

dit fur the rrtith of what they say, without eonsi
tiering that if their design had by. any possibility
become knOwn before its official publication was
convenient, the present was the,worst time to al-
low the country any mason to believe it. When
the Elections are concluded, and Parliament once
more assembled, we shall be able to judge of
Ministetial language ; for, if such a pia!' has
been formed, the necessity at coming, to Farlia-
went will supersede, the policy of being silent.
The Civil Lis; must he discussed next Session, as
MuSt all the minor questions which it includes, or
which are connected ; the revenue of the
Crown lands, the Royal Debts,..the l)roite of
Admiralty, and the allowance to her Majesty ;
but that an addition of a farthing, still leis 'the
enormous weight (4'2,000,0001.: should he laid

is it coutemplation, most dreadful and alarming.---,
