GENTLIMIN
V7HATEVER of public or of private inconve-
nience may wife from fo futklun a Diffulution of Parlia-
rent, it gives to me perfonally no react, becatife librinp, though
temporarily,into pradtice, a principle long fettled in my mind. that
the appeal of the Reprefentatives to their Conftituents fhould be
more frequent than by law they are.
In the tail three Parliaments you have been pleafed to honour me
with your confidence. During that rime it has been my fortune
to have ber:i fometimes the oppoficr, and fometimes the fupportcr
ot Minitters ; but in neither cafe have I ever felt any dryad of their
'rower, or benefit from their favour: the public intereft has been
the only motive that ever adnated my conduct, and a continuance
of your confidence ;b., only recompence I lookc't to.
throw myfelf again upon your confideratian, arid in foliciting
molt earneftly as I do, the favour oflour votes to return me as one
ot your Reprefentatives in the neat Parliament, I repeat to you my
aftwarees of an unalterable attachment to the Conititution of our
Country, and I promife you a continuance of that indeondence
wbich,l truit ,bas hitherto manifefted itfelf in me public condua.
With great refpedt,l have the honour to bc. Gentlemen,

GENERAL ELECTION.

To the FRREHOLDERS of the COUNTY of MIDLLESIL
GIINTLEPUN.
A FTEIt what has lately paired in review before us,
it is impoffibla to (hut our eyes to the actual Mouton of our
courtry : and as impoffible to imagine that any efforts of ours can
at this time procure redrefs.
Lord Melville, with his affoeiates and abettors, under the pre-
tence
of Loyalty ; the leaders of the Whigs. under the pretence
of the Conttitution ; and the leaders of rase Catholics, under the
pretence of Religion, are all evidently ftruggling for one and the
fame objetff—a (hare of the common fpoiL Whilft the whole.
forne Power of the Crown, the fair Liberty of the Subjedt, and the
real interefts of any Religion, are all facrificed to the common ob-
jed—Plunder.
Of the Rights of the People at large, and of their Welfare and
Independence, not a fyllable is even whifpered by any of there
factlions : and any attempt by others to bring the People or their
Intercits into confideratlon, is itigmatifed as treafon.
In this defperate &nation of our affairs (for filch I efteem it)
I cannot coeftet to become a Cand►date for any feat in Parlia•
merit.
With the omnipotent means of corruption in the power of our
fpoilers, all ftruggie is vain. We mutt wait fcir our redrt fs and
regeneration till corruption fball h -ye eahaufted the means of
corruption ; and I do not believe that period very dittant;--the
prefent Minitters being molt likely to be our belt friends by
battening it.
Till that time (hall arrive, I beg leave to retire from all Parlia-
mentary fervice ; without the lean, abatement of zeal for the rights
and liberties of my countrymen, to which I will always he ready to
faerifice my owninteretts, intereits, in any manner, whenever there than ap-
t pear the (Mallen profped of fuccefs. I am,

the neceflity of attending to Parliamentary bufim Is comp lied me
to go to London. It is my intention with all poilibte difpatch to
