W.R3T3171i :TER MEETINC.

Yenerday, at one o'clock, a Meeting of the Elec-
tors of Weatninfler took place at the Crown and
Anchor, purfuant to the adjourninent on Thurfday
fe'nnight.
Mr. GIBBONS, after flintily Sating his reafons
for propofing the former adjournment, propofed that
Mr. Wifhart &mild refume the Chair ; but that
Gentleman not being prefent, Mr. Maddocks was
voted into the Chair.

After the Refolutiona paired at the laft Meeting
had been read,

Mr. PAULI, then rofe and fsid, that before he
Mould take the liberty of propofing any perfou to the
Meeting, he withed come Members of the Committee
appointed at the 'all Meeting would date why they
had fo thamefully betrayed the crud repofed in them,
and the liberties and independence of the City of
Wetiminfier.

After a thort fpeech upon the point of regularity
from Mr. FROST. the CHAIRMAN wilted fume
Gentleman of the Committee would Rate the relish of
the deliberations of the Committee.

Mr. GIBBONS immediately role. He had been
one of the Committee, and the objed of the tall
Meeting being fruArated, he role to exprefs his indig
nation at the joggle. Sorry he was to perform a talk
fo painful, but he could no; (brink from his duty.—
He would explain eke underhanded and formidable
confederacy which had been entered into to trip up
every objet of the Meeting. At the firft Meeting of
the Committee, be had been called to the Chair, and
it was refolved that an application mould be made to
Mr. Whitbread, 'equaling him to come forward,
and give the Eledors of Weflminfler an opportunity
to Phew that they would not be the tools and 'af-
fair' of any Adminiaration—(4~). This appli-
cation was accordingly made, and Mr. Whitbread's
anfwer was, "That, confidering he himfelf had been
returned three times, and tome of his family four
times, by his prefent Conflituents, this eircum-
Rance. as well as tome other reafons, both public
and private, prevented him from doing himfelf the
honour of availing himfelf of this flattering MI6.
cation to Rand as a candidate for Weßminfler." A
letter was then addreffed to the Committee, from Mr.
Maddocks, of Lincoln's Inn, Rating, that if no one
elfe would give the Ele&ors an opportunity of vindi-
cating their independence, he would— (load opplaufe.)
—The Committee accordingly returned thanks to
Mr. Maddocks, and thought his offer worthy of the
moll ferions ecnfideration. Another Meeting was
appointed to be held at Leven o'clock in the evening :
and when he (Mr. Gibbons) came there about halt
pan, he found that the Chair had bees taken by ann.
ther Gentleman, and that the legal advifer of Mr.
Sheridan, Mr. Burgett, who was not one of the Com-
mittee, was ailing as Secretary to the Committee.—
A Refolution was moved and approved of by that
Gentleman particularly, for maktog an application to
Sir Francis Burdett ; for, as Mr. Burgers *Cured him
(Mr. Gibbons), "they walled to come forth and op.
pole the boy." (meaning Lord Percy). Mr. Burgefs
feconded the motion about Sir F. Burdett, and prof-
fered his Cervices to go with others of the Committee to
Sir F. Burdett's hook. They did go, and as I was
forced to go out of town they left the refult at my
hook, which was (and a perfon at my houfe took it
dodo in writing), " That they had applied at the
houfe of Sir Francis, and were anfwered that he was
inacceffible, that he was out of town, had ordered De
letters to be fent to him, for that he declined coming
forward againit Lord Percy."—"My fufpicions, (con-
tinned Mt. Gibbons), which had been routed before,
were inereafed. and I went myfelf to Sir Francis's
houfe. Sir Francis's addicts was given me very reedit y
—he was only thirty miles from town, and this was
on Tuefday. Was this tripping up the objed of the
Meeting or not E—l now come to the file fr of the
fubfequent Meeting—it was fixed for eight. I ar-
rived at half pall, and I was told that a Refolution
had been already paired, Hating that the Committee
had applied them elves rftligew?,—(Lesteesr)—to find
a proper perfon ; but not being able, they were unani•
I aloofly of opinion, out of regard to the tranquillity
of Welimintler, as well as for the reafons urged by
Mr. Sheridan, and for other important reafons, to
join in fupport of Earl Percy—(lfifteg).—(And,
Gentlemen, I found that this Refolution was pre-
pared by this very• Mr. Burgefs, and was corrated
by Mr. Sheridan ) At this very Committee, which
paired a Refolution fo contrary to the views and to
the intentions of the Meeting who delegated them, I
few a number of ((range faces, perfons who neither
attended the fir fl nor the fecond meeting of the Com-
mittee, yet came upon this occafion to vote for
the Refolution fo drawn up by Mr. Burgas, and
correfted by Mr. Sheridan. Notwithflanding that
they thus came to a Refolution, recommending you
to fupport the man, who, by your almoß unanimous
vote, was declared not to be a fit perfon ; yet when
I expreffed my furprife at their orange Refolution,
molt of them anfwered me, " What are we to do,
Mr. Gibbons ? You fee nobody will Rand !" The
very propofer of the Refolution laid to me, if anyman
will Rand againtl Lord Percy, or if you will Rand
spina him, by G— I'll fupport you. I am, Gen-
tlemen, an humble individual among(( you, and ne-
ver entertained the prefumptuous thought of being a
Candidate for Wellminder. This cireumftaoce,
however. will Thew you upon what principles, or ra-
ther upon what want of all principle, the major ity of
the Committee proceeded. At the fame time that
they are telling the Electors of Wellmintler that
Lord Percy is a fit and proper perfon to reprefent
them, they tell me, in the Committee-room, that if
any man could be got to oppufe him, if I rnyfelf
would Rart againll him, they would then fupport me
or any other perfon in oppofition to him. You there-
fore fee into what inconfittencies and abfurdities they
have fallen, who, after entirely departing from your
inftrudions, take upon themfelves sow to recom-
mend Lord Percy. As for that Nobleman, I have
very little to fay—he is a young man unknown to
me, as I believe he is to the greater part of the
Eleaors of this great city. The Committee, how-
ever, although they at hat refolved that Mr. Mad
docks's letter was deferving the moll ferious con&
deration, afterwards appeared to have paid no man-
ner of attention to it. As for myfelf, 1 mould much
prefer Mr. Maddocks to Lord Percy, if it were only
for this one reafon Suppottos we return Mr. Mad-
docks, and afterwards difapprove of his condutt, we
can get rid of him upon another Elation but if
once we null return Lord Percy, we will never be able

to make hiin off Mi.. Mahone concluded b interns-'
ing the Meeting that he linderftood a Candidate I
would be propofed for their nomination. the grin-'
cipal nbjeB of his riling was to free himfelf from the
charge which he thought the majority of the Com-
mittee had incurred, by departing entirely from the
duty and the troll that were repofed in them.
Mr. HENRY MADDOCKS, jnn. then rote, and I
Rated his wills to become a candidate on the pre. •
feat occafion, merely to flimutate the people of Well- i
mintler to alert boldly and refolutely their rights
and privileges, againfi the powerful interell of family I
connalions ; and having taken a general Purvey of
the perfons who conspired His Malay's Council,
at this moment, he eked, could it be expelled,:
that men, guided by fuch principles as situated a
Grenville, a Sidmouth, a Howick, a Petty, and an
Erfkine, could it be foppofed, that fuch an Admi.
(filtration would interfere in the prefent comav
whole principles had ever been the free and inde-
pendent reprefeatation of the people in Parliament ?
He could not fuppofe his Malefic, who was the very
head of the councils of the Empire (and whole pri.
vats virtues had done fo much to turn afide th: Teets.
'lnfirmary torrent from this country) would interfere
at all againft the freedom of elation. [Mr. M. here
paid an elegant compliment to the virtues of Lord
Sidmouth, who, during his adroinitirstion, newer de.
graded himfelf by interfering in Elections.] He did
not mean to fay that Lord Percy was unfit to reprefent
them becaufe he was the fon of a Duke—he knew
there mull be diftinBions, ranks, and gradations in
Poch a fociety as this nation ; nor would he qualm)
' that this young Nobleman might be poffeffed of all
thole attainments which could reafonably be expelled
from a young man of his time of life ; but he mull
obferve, that when the queflion lbould come of lay-
ing taxes upon the fubjeft, it was always natural to ,
fuppofe, that a man wallowing in wealth which he
had acquired without pains or labour, would be more ,
prodigal of the public purfe, and more carders of
the burdens impofed upon the people, than a man
in more moderate circurnßances might be toppeted
to be. Adam Smith had obterved, that Noblemen
were generally inclined to confider Commoners as an ,
inferior race of beings. The Northumberland Family ,
had already confiderable influence in the Houle of ,
Commons. Lord Percy's father fent five Members
to Parliament, and he hind-elf was already a Member
brought in by the Marquis of Buckingham. He ,
thought fuch influence might have contented the fa• ,
mily, without endeavouring to carry Weßminner
alto by mere power and family and Minifterial influ-
ence. At prefent, Peers returned to Parliament 24a
Members? individual Commoners fent tsn, and the
Treafury 22. When, therefore, 423 were fent in by
private patronage, he thought thole great families
might have been content to have permitted one place
in all England to exercife that privilege to which it
had long been aecuftomed, of chafing one of its Re-
prefentatives. Mr. MADDOCIIB then declared, that
his principles were thole of Lord Somers, Sir Jofeph
Jekyll, and thole who penned and fupported the Bill
of Rights—that, if elated, he fhould never lend his
feeble aid to ftrip the Crown of any of its legal pre-
rogatives, but that be thould fupport, as well as he
was able, the glorious Conflitutton of this Country
apioß any innovations, whether monarchial, antic-
crancal, or democratical. He declared, that if elat-
ed, he ffinuld never accept of any office or flirtation
under Government, without their preview:- content
and approbation. He had, however, only declared
an intention of being a Candidate in the cafe of no
other man venturing to Rand forward. An Honour
able Gentleman (Mr. Paull), who fat near him (and
who had great merit in bringing Indian delinquencies
before the eyes of the Britifh Nation), was prepared
to propels a Candidate, who he was certain would be
approved of by them.
Mr. PAULL began by taking notice of the con-
di:la of the Committee, which he thought to highly
reprehenfible, that he conceived it the duty of the
Meeting to pats a fevere cenfiare upon them. So far
from fuppofing that there was nobody to be procured
to Rand forward to defend the liberties and indepen-
dence of Wetiminfler againa the confpiracy which
now Alined it, he would propofe another, and ano.
titer, perfon as fk to be put in nomination, until he
Ibould at length come to tome perfon who would
have the refortnion to Rand forward. The per fon
who appeared to him to be the moll proper to
chafe as a fucceffor to Mr. Fox, was one connated
with him in friendfhip, and who bad devoted his
life to the carafe of independence, who would
always in future, as he had done heretofore, Rand
in the gap to contend with that corruption which
threatened to overwhelm the country. If any one
could check the profligate expenditure of the pub-
lic money, Sir Francis Burdett appeared to him
to be the man. If any man more than another had
(hewn himfelf a fincere friend to his country and its
liberties, he thought it was Sir Francis Burdett : he
Ibould, therefore, propofe him firft as a fit and pro-
per perfon to he returned (loud eht)(antii). If. how-
ever, Sir Francis refuted to be a candidate, (which
was not improbable) then he thould propofe a man
of the moll extraordinary and fplendid talents, who
was alfo connelled with Mr. Fox, both politically and
in private friendfhip, he meant the Right Hon. Phil.
pot Curran, whole talents, though exerted in another
part of the United Kingdom, were well known to
the world, and univerfally admired, and whole poli-
tical life had been (pent in refilling corruption and
oppreffion, and in fupporting the juft rights of his
countrymen, (app/wafes). Should they be unfuccefs.
hil in this quarter alfo, Mr. Maddocks had in the
moll fpisited manner offered himfelf to their choice.
It appeared to him abfolutely necelfary that the
Elalion of Lord Percy mould be refitted, and that the
Grenville family Ibould not be permitted to dictate
to Wefiminfler. What merit could that family
poffefs in the eyes of independent men ? Was not
Lord Grenville fur near twenty.five years connated
with the calumniators and enemies of Mr. Fox, and
thole who had walled the blood and treafure of this
country in foolifia and ill conduffted wars ? Was it
not be who was the principal author of thole bills
called Treal.n and Sedition Bills, and many others
which went dire Elly to take away the freedom of the
people of this country? It was the Grenville% alto
who were now luppoled to be the powerful protectors
of Indian delinquents, wh .m lie had laboured to
• bring to jultice. Under the anlpices of Lord Grea-
t Title, a young Nobleman of twenty-one was now
F brought forward, and it teemed to be expelled that
be was to walk over the courts without an oppo-

near. When he was told of e Iteredlerg prineiirtri
of Lord Percy; he need only obferver; that he now
fat in Parliament for the &trough of Brickirighatii
and that therefore there could, be no &WA 'hit it
was his intention to (import in Parliament rhote 'this
brought him ;molt. For thi. rkafon be fie tali think
him a very improper Reprefentative. He then pro.
poled Sir Francis Burdett as a fit and proper Feriae
to be their Reprefintativ: ; bcr contloded by
that unlef. the Committee were centered fir their
improper condo/It, he th•aight it would be in vain i•
propnte Sir Francis, Mr. Curran, nr any body elk
Mr. HF 1V LINS, in a very animated (perch,
plimeoted Mr. Paull highly for the part he had taken
upon the prevent and upon Comer recafi nit, and
thought that he would be as fit a Reptile: t oh,' as
the City of Wellminner could chute. As to Lord
Percy, he thnugbt that ms man could be more unfit.
He had attended the Meeting at Willies Rooms, and
had heard the Noble Lnrd attempt to (peak. The
matter of his (*melt, and the manner of its delivery,
was only worthy of an idiot. A perfon who had
made no greater proficiency at twenty-ose, could
never be expelled to be a fir Member forWeeminiler.
As, however, he had heard to much about the great
family of Percy, and their hereditary principles, be
Ibould (Verve, that all he had ever seed or heard of
the family, was that they were an ambiti famUy,
always grafping at their own private advantage in.

back to the time of Hotfpur, he would afk what was
the Houte of Northumberland then? 1111 Arabia's's,

belled again(' their King, Richard 11. and put Bo-

one King, they rebelled again again* the one that
they had yet up, and not from the flightell pretence
of public good, but merely for private ambition.

thomberland. Mr. Hewlins, after tome fevere obter•
vatinns on thole under whole aufpices this young
Lord was brought forward, concluded by propofing
Mr. Paull.

The CHAIRMAN nbferved, that as Sir Francis
Burden had been fit fl propofed, he tuna left p-t the
queftion on his being appointed as a fit and proper
perfon to reprefeat the City of Wellatifter.
On the motion of Mr. PAULL. the Meeting.
(prior to the decifion of that 'tuition) refolved, that
Mr. Gibbons was entitled to the Thanks of the meet-
' ing ;btu that the majority of the Committee were not
entitled to their thanks.—The Refolutioa approving
of Sir Francis Burdett's lamination, was agreed to
suanimoully. and with loud applanfe.
It appealed to be the fenfe of the Meeting, that
Osould Sir Francis Burden decline to be a Candidate,
the Committee fhould invite the Right Hon. Philpot
Curran to flandfor the City ; and that amid he alto
decline it, that Mr. Maddocks Mould be propofed.
A vote of thanks was propofed, and agreed to, to
Mr. Maddocks, for his fpirited and manly offer to
Rand, if no other fit candidate mould come forward.
The Meeting was then adjourned till Tuefday
next.
