LETTER FROM MR. PAULI. TO SIR FRANCIS BUR-

Kingfton opnn•Thamea, May 1,18)7.

- . .
a It is ajultice I owe to my hon.ur and characcler to make an
aitifervation cr two on one part of your note, which I received at
three o'clock this morning in my carriage at Wimbledon.
" bit t only did I thew yi u the refolutions, which' you higkly
approved of at Colonel Icifyillc's, wn l'hurfday, but I pat into your
bead the Pilot Newfpaper, which you read diftinelly, containing
the very advertifeinent which has now given you fu much offence,
and which has been commented wt by you in a manner, through
a nit diunt, and in a place (without the molt diftaut intimation to
me) fo outrageous to my feelings, and to every principle of fair
dealing between man anti man, even if ttrangers to each other.—
To Colonel Burville I alto altered the advcrtifcment, and laid at
dinner, in your hearing. that I was to be in the Chair, and would
have to put the refolution for your nomination to rrprefent the City
of Wcaminiter with me.

" By way of obfervation I have only further to add, that after
my fair and candid explanation un Wednefday, if a line had been
given to me, that you were Rill diffatisftrd, and conceived the
grounds of which the niikunception originated unfatisfadtory, I
Ihould inttantly have announced 'itch mileonception myfelf, and
put off a diuner which ha. been produaive of confequtnces fo fatal
to me individually, and 1 (hall add to the bet intereft of the coon
try. But on Thurfday, no fuck diffatitfadion was exprt Ted, but
approbation given to the whole of the refolutions, and approval of
the advertiretnent for my being in the Chair.
" Thefe obfervations I have thought it neceftkry to make in my
own juftißeation againft the charges of rafhnefa and want of cox•
fideradon fo repeatedly conveyed in your note, and to convince
every impartial man, that Nth charges are totally unfounded.—
though certainly molt applicable to the feene of left night. which
I cannot think of yet without horror, and which has overturned in
five minus the labours of my political life, and blafted. as far as
in your power lay, a private charadter as fpotiefs as your own.
111 order to prevent any interruption, I mat now propofe our
proceeding towards Wimbledon to meet your friend.
" I am. Sir,
" Your moil obedient (errant,
" JAMES PAULL."
" N. B. To trove that the offeralve advertifement
was not inferted without Sir Francis's knowledge and
confent, Mr. Paull here argues, that he fliewcd it to
Sir Francis—in the PILOT newfpaper I
