WESTMINSTER ELECTlON.—Yellerday, Ihortly
before the numbers were announced, a very gro-
telque and ragged citizen was mounted upon the
fhoulders of the mob, and made a very pathetic
fpeech upon the inconvenience of prifons. He de-
clared moil feelingly, that he fpoke from fad expe-
rience, for he had unfortunately becn too well ac-
quainted with fuch places. This Brit Anacharfir
—this new Orator of the human rare—would have
expatiated at length upon this affeling fubjeet, had
not the High Bailiff, regardlefs of his facred
mil-
lion, interfered and put an end to his harangue.
The numbers having been call up, Mr. Fmc came
forward and announced the Rate of the Poll as
follows :

Mr. Fox, 2256 I Lord Gardner, me I Mr. Grahans,l4BB.
Mr. Fox then addrelFed the Eleftors.

" Gentlemen, I have to announce to you a very
great mortification. I am, Gentlemen, the laf of
the three on this day's Poll, a circumfiance which 1
I have feldom before experienced. The circum-
(Lances under which I am placed, are of a very pe-
culiar nature : I am told by both my Opponents,
that they are well withers of mine • yet, how it
happens I cannot fay, but I do not find that either
of them acts confißently with this profeflion, as
their friends generally go againft me (" No coa-
lition !" was here vociferated by the mob). I co-
alefce
with no man. A feat in Parliament is of
no value to me, when compared with the honour
of your fuffrages (great applaufe). I moR ear-
neftly entreat thofe Gentlemen who with me well,
to make every exertion in my favour, that I may
Rand in a more refpeetable fituation at the end of 1
each day's Poll."
Lord GARDNER next prefented himfelf, and at-
tempted, but in vain, to obtain a hearing.
Mr.GaAHAat then came forward, and was hailed
with (bouts of the loudeß applaufe. He obferv.
ed, that he could not help complaining of the vile
condo& of the different Newfpapers, in mention-
ing the proceedings of the day ; one of which
Rated that Mr. Shaw fpoke yeßerday in fup-
port of, and recommended to their favour, Lord
Gardit,:., when every one prefent knew that
his objea was to fupport the interett of Mr. Fox
and Mr. Graham. Another paper had alfo
made a fimilar Ratement, but the Editor con-
felted that it was an error. There could be no
doubt whatever, that Lord Gardner had bought
up all the Papers ; as at proof of this, he laid, a
Sunda% Paper had aiked him threeguineas for one
of his Advertifements, of fourteen lines.

I did, continued Mr. GRAHAM, molt certainly
expea to have been greatly a-head at the conclu-
lion of this day's Poll, but I am again woefully dif•
appointed. I have, however, polled eight votes
more than Mr. Fox, and only 24 lefs than Lord
Gardner. lam pofitively allured by my friends
that if I try the event of to-morrow, they will
bring forward a large majority in my favour.
Mr. lowanss attempted to (peak in favour of
Lord GARDNER ; but it was great difficulty he
could be heard. He Paid every man ought to love
a failor to the heart. Had it not been for the fea-
men of the. Britifh Navy, no Eledors would pro.
bably have been called upon that day to give their
fuffrages. He was, therefore, lorry to lee a Bri-
tills Sailor treated with fo little refped ; and what-
ever the political opinions of Gentlemen might be,
they fhould not forget that Lord Gardner was a
Britifh Admiral.

Mr. SHAW, the Attorney, complained in a brief
but bitter and lawyer-like way, of the milreprefen.
cations in the Newipapers. There were feveralfcan
dalousinifasiser: that called for the gorreftion of the
Court he had now the honour of addreffing,and he
relied both inlaw and equity, upon the decifion of the
Judger againft fuch inalpraaiter. He begged leave
to enter his caveat againft fuch proceedings, and
declared that if they were continued, he (hould be
compelled, in his own defence, to prove an abbi.
—[The ingenuity of there obfervations, and the
clear and impreffive flyle, truely formic, in which
they were delivered, ruffled for a (hors time the
placid dignity of the allembly by the thundering
plaudits they produced,]—He highly refpefted
Lord Gardner in his profeflion, but he could not
confider him a fit pci fun to reprefent the City of
Weltminfter. If the noble Admiral wanted a
birth in Parliament, he ought to about—firer
another courfi, and go in chace of a BOROUGH, like
Mr. Windham.—[This remark produced loud and
reiterated fhouts of approbation, and a Sailor,
who has fence the commencement of the eleition
made himfelf confpicuous, by (baking every day
a whip at Lord Gardner, obferved, he was quite
I lure and certain that Mr. Shaw had been before
the matt himfelf, or he could not jaw in fuch a
seaman-like lingo.)—Mr. Shaw concluded with
walling it to he underftood that he flrongly re-
commended Mr. Fox and Mr. Graham, and
thought it highly difgraceful to the Eleflors of
Weltrninfter to leave Mr. fox behind on that

Mumtaz Extetto2.—The conteft for this
County is carried on with more fpirit, involves
more interefts, and excites a greater fenfation than
any other conteft in the neighbourhood of London,
or perhaps in any other part of the kingdom. Sir
FRANCIS BURDETT and his friends have made a
very aaive and fuccefsful canvafs; and the popu-
lace are almoft univerfally enthufiafts in his fa
your, exclaiming, " BURDETT and no Baftile.",
Mr. MA INWARING'S long conneftion with the
County, his influence with his brother Magiftrates,
among whom he prefides at the Selhons, afford
him not only great ftrength, but facilities of
knowing and coming at the Eleaors, which Sir
FaaNcis does not poffefs. The conteft lies be-
tween there two Gentlemen. Sir FRANC is avows
that Mr. MAINWA RING'S condu.t in regard to the
Correetion Houfe at Cold bath-fields has provoked
his oppolition ; and that on the Reps he and Mr.
MAINWARING have taken, in regard to that pri-
fon, he wifhes their rerpeftive merits to reft. The
friends of Mr. MAINWARING, on the contrary, with
to fet the Cold.bath-fields prifon wholly out of the
queftion, denying the fairnefs of mixing it with
Mr. MAINWARING'S eligibility as a Candidate.—
They fay nothing of Sir FRANCIS Boarorry ; Sir
FRANCIS fpeaks only of Mr. MAINWARING's con-
duet. Mr. Bytic is oppofed by neither party.—
The friends of Sir Faitscis and of Mr. MAIN-
WALING almoft equally efpoufe his caufe. The
refpeetability of his private character and the in.
dependence of his condu.ft infure his eleetion.
The Eleftion commenced yefterday at Brent-
ford; and we have feldom witneffed fuch a bury
fcene of bullle and preparation as was exhibited
in the early part of the day between that town
and London. Almoft all the coach-Rands about
the Metropolis were empty; and nearly one half
of Piccadilly was, during the whole of the morn-
ing, filled with hackney coaches, difplaying large
Lbels with " Sir Francis Burdett" printed on
them. About eight o'clock Sir FRANCIS BURDETT
fet out from his houfe in Piccadilly in a private
coach, drawn by four horfes, which were deco-
rated with purple ribbons. Two or three friends
fat with him in the coach. Immediately before
his coach there was a band of mufic on foot; be-
fore there were three horfemen, carrying each a
large purple banner, with there words on them in
gold letters—" No Baftile." Behind Sir Feats-
cm's coach were great numbers of his friends,
Come in hackney coaches, fame on horfeback, and
all wearing ribbons ; and the whole cavalcade was
led by a company of illiaficitau, confifting of feven-
and-twenty butchers' boys, who fried& chimed
their marrow-bones and cleavers during thofe in-
tervals when the proftid Muticians ceafed playing.
They all proceeded at a walking pace : and tie.
fore they entered Brentford, near Kew Bridge,
Sir FRANCIS 81/RDITT was met by a party of
people, wearing his ribbons, who took the horfes
from his carriage, fattened ropes to it. and drew
him at a walking pace to the Huflings. The
people in Brentford received him as he paired
along with loud (bouts of applaufe, and cries of
" No Bafiik."
About a quarter of an hour afterwards, as Mr.
Matawaatao was entering the Town on his way
from London, drawn in his coach and four, a
number of people took the
,horres off, and drew
him along to the Huftings, amidft the applaufts
of numbers of refpedable perfons. Two or three
friends fat with him in his coach, and he was fol-
lowed by a numerous body of the Eleftors, in
coaches, and on horfe-back, all wearing his rib-
bons, which were fky blue.
Mr. SYNC went in his private chaife from an inn
preceded by a band of mufic. The populace would
not fuffer him to be drawn by his horfes, but led
him with alacrity to the huftings, while ;hat Gen-
tleman continued to diftribute very liberally among
them his eleaion ribbons, which were orange and
fky blue.

The three Candidates were on the Huftings a
little before eleven o'clock. The Hollings, which
have been ereeted at the upper end of the Market-
place, are very extenfive and commodious. The
wht of the three Candidates and their attendants,
ile approaching the place of elation, was very
beautiful, and mull have been Rill more gratifying
to every mind who reflefted that they were corn-
ing to give the people a frefh opportunity of cur-
citing their bell and deareft rights.
The Candidates, accompanied by their friends,
having met on the Hollings a little before eleven,
Mr. Butco ALL, the Under Sheriff, having read
the King's Precept and the AR for preventing Bri-
bery and Corruption, Paid, " Freeholders of this
County, whom do you propofe to reprefent you
in Parliament 1"

Mr. PLRRY, of Blackwall.—" Gentlemen and
Brother Freeholders, when my worthy friend Mr.
MAIIIWARING &ft offered himfelf as a Candidate
for this refpedable county, I took the liberty to
join in the nomination, and I have the happinefs
of laying you heard it with approbation. I was
then fully fenfible of the reditude of his intentions.
I had an high opinion of his underlianding, and
1 was Pure he would actively attend to his duty in
Parliament, and to the bufinefs of the county.—
His condu,l progreffively has ftrengthened that
opinion. I have only to with my ability was equal
to my zeal, but I am fenfible how inadequate I
am to the talk of addraing !itch an affembly.—
I therefore beg leave to propofe WILLIAM MAIN-
WARING, Efq. as a fit perfon to reprefent you in
Parliament."—[Hip and applaufe.]
Major ELszozz.—"• I beg leave to fecond the
nomination ; at the fame time I feel proud in do
ing fo, becaufe I have witnelfed his tried fidelity
and approved integrity. I have very little to fay:
the county has tried him • his Cunitituents have
Peen him long and ably filling a fituation to which
he was not appointed by any Adminiftration, but
by independent men of the county—a mark of
their confidence, which &as as much honour to
thofe who appointed him, and the caufe he has
uniformly fupported, as it does to his own cha-
railer. I fay this, becaufe reports have been
brought forward—[A violent neili—celfiekrable r a
nz.cur:—.Tairs him out,exclaimed doe people.]—l con-
clude by feconding he nomination in favour of a
man of fuch tried abilities."

you propofe as your Reprefentative in Puha
'llene '

Mr. Alderman SKINNItIIa Gentlemen and
Freeholders, I have only to regret that it is not
in my power to fpeak fufficiently loud to draw
your attention, but I only beg your patience for
a few moments. I have the honour of nominating
Mr. Byng (a general butil of applastfe) to reprefent
this County. This is the third time you have been
called upon to make choice of him as your Repre.
fentative. It will be neceffary you fhould hear
what I have t• fay to you with refpea to the mo.
tives which induced me originally to recommend
him as a proper objea of your choice. You have
in two Parliaments had occafion to judge of his
conduit. At firft you knew him not; but I who
propofed him to you knewthat he had been brought
up in the fchr.ol of Virtue and of Honour, where
thole fentiments were inculcated into his mind
which urged him to fupport the Rights of the
People and the Conflitution of the Country.—
Such were my reafons for firft propofing him._.
Gentlemen, the Candidate now recommended to
you was brought up under his much loved, re.
fpeaed, and patriotic father, who early taught
him to look to thofe three grand points—Honour,
the Rights of Englifhmen, and the Freedom of
the Britillt Conftitution. [Applavfe.] You have
had experience of him in two Parliaments. Yon
have had occafion to contemplate in him a continu-
ance of that regular and uniform conduit which in-
duced me originally to propofe him. It is with
pleafure I obferve that every vote he has given in
Parliament has had for its objea the fupport of
die Conftitution and the liberty of the fubjea, and
that particularly in the laft Parliament not a vote
was given by him but what was calculated to
draw to a conclufion that war we all Puffer by ;
that cruel and bloody war which has brought the
country into that (tate which it is not neceffary I
should enlarge upon, as it has been fo repeatedly
adverted to by perfons more competent to judge
of it than myfelf. I have no doubt you will
confider Mr. Byng as one who defcrves your
fupport in the fame proportion as he has uni-
formly fupported the Conflitution, and the Liberty
and Freedom of the People—Carew! Bp: for
ewr IJ
Mr. BACON.-" In the year 1796, I had the ho.
flour of feconding Mr. Byng ; his nomination was
then cordially received, and I truft the indepen-
dent Freeholders will by their fuffrages evince their
approbation of his conduit. I addrefs you as an
independent Freeholder. The Candidate recom.
mended to you is one who was born, bred, and
lives among you, and what mutt render him more
dear to you is, that he inherits the principles of
his efteemed father.—[Shout of approbation.]
Mr. Buocaatt—,, Freeholders, Mr. Byng and
Mr. Mainwaring have been put in nomination.—
Whom elfe do you propofe as your Reprefentative
in Parliament 1"

Mr. Alderman Cootait" Gentlemen, and bro-
the:. Freeholders—l fhall make no apology for
obtruding myfelf on your becaufe the li-
berty I am about to take is no more than what is
competent to every Freeholder. It is the privilege
of every Freeholder to pmpofe for your approba-
tion or rejeelion a third candidate. In alluding to
the Gentleman, with whole name I (hall terminate
my addrefs, I (hall not make any invidious com-
parifons between him and the candidate in oppo-
fition to him. He is well known to you by his
public conduCt, and he is dear to his country by
the difplay of that virtue which has guided it.—
( Bravo! very genera! plaudit:.) If a fortune large
enough to create independence can have any ten-
dency in influencing your vote, the honourable
and worthy •Baronet I (hall propofc poffeffes fuch
a fortune ; but what is more to my fatisfadion, he
derives from nature an independent mind, which
has been cultivated by education. Although the
Hon. Bart. has not to boat that he has heretofore
been your Reprefentative, lam convinced his con-
duit cannot be unknown to you. I who know him
perfonally as well as you know him by his public
conduct, and who have obferved it uniformly cha-
raaerifed by principles of independence, humani-
ty, and virtue, deem myfelf juilified in propofing
to you as a proper object for your choice Sir Francis
Burdet, Bart."—(Loud and ine jars, soplaufo)
Mr. BRITTEN—" Brother ireeholders, the Gen-
tleman whole nomination I have the honour to
fecond, and who is the candidate in oppofition to
one of your late Members, is well known to you
in his public Parliamentary capacity. Among
the few privileges—few enough, Goo knows, are
thole which Englifhmen enjoy ! there is no one
more important titan that of calling to account
their Reprefentatives, and of making thole to
whom they have delegated their power anfwerable
to them for their public condua ; on this ground
I (hall (late that the worthy Baronet has uniform-
ly been in oppofition to one of your late Members.
(Hear! Hoar!) . I do not, as a plain Pimple Free-
holder, fee how he can join one of the Members
who is in oppofition to him, though I can ea,
conceive that he may ref his pretenfions on the
fame foundation as the other. Either the Hon.
Baronet mull be wrong with regard to his public
condnst, and 1 am of opinion he is perfeltly right,
or Mr. Mainwaring mutt be wrong. I think Mr.
Mainwaring has been wrong. (Stoongfraptems of
indignation.) I will tell you why (11/ffir) He is here
to anfwer for himfelf. Gentlemen, Mr. Mainwaring
hasconßantly during the laft Parliament ( with Tome
few exceptions) been the advocate of all the mea-
lures adopted by the now defunct, and I may fay
accurfed Parliament, that has brought us into our
prefent Inuation." (A try ofer, ci; an interval of

Mr. BURCHALL interfered and laid, 1 have it in
command from the Sheriff to requell you µ i j i hear
with patience every perfon who addrelles you; if
you do not, you cannot have the advantage of
benefiting by their fentiments.
Mr. BRITTEN continued.—" I mean to give no
man offence. What I (ball fay of Mr. MAIN.

Lore to enter Into any general account of my po-
litical principles ; but the ground on which I
come forward to oppofe Mt. Jultice Mainwaring
is, his conduit with refpeet to the Prifon in Cold

and Sir FRANCIS Buitnurr, the flew of hands was
general.
Mr. BVICIIALL" I am directed by the Sheriff
to inbrm you that, in his judgment, the thew of
hands is in favour of GLOP.GS Byttu and Sir F.
BURDET I.—[Cloud applaufe.]
A Poll was immediately demanded in favour of
Mr. MAlNwaa t tic, which commenced accordingly,
and continued till four o'clock, when on caiting
up the Book, the numbers flood thus :
_ _ _ .

Mr. Ityng, 13c3 I Mr. Mainwaring,lo97 I Sir F. Burdett,699.
Atter the numbers were declared, mine of the
Candidates feemed inclined to come forward to ad-
drefs the Eleftois, upon which the Under Sheriff
defired them to give their attendance the next
:::orning at eight o'clock. TLe people, however,
Lemed ditratistied, and expreifed great impatience
to''. ar a 'Perch.
Mr. llyzu remtned the Freeholders his fincere
thanks for the high and diflingifilled honour they
had done him that day in placing him at the head
of the poll. Under every circumtlance, he thought
ti e friends of freedom might be fatisfied with the
refult of the day. He requefted they might per—
levere in their laudable efforts, and he had no
doubt but that the majority of votes in his favour
11 would be greater to-morrow. (This fhort addrefs
was received with great applaife.)
Sir FRANCIS BURDETT thencame forward amida
loud huzzas: h 3. laid language could not exprefs
how gratefol he felt at receiving this frelli tefli-
m,ny of the affeftion and elleem of the Freehold.
ers, than which he conceived nothing could be
more honourable to him, nor nothing more grati-
fying to an honeft man. With regaidsto the cir-
cumttaiite of his !landing Lowell on the poll, the
Freeholders whom he was addrefling mull be
aware of the great difficulty experienced by thole
who came to furport him, in getting up to the
hullings. He moil earneftly recommended to his
fi iends who might meet with obilrations in com-
ing to poll, not to quit the books until ihey law
their names fairly entered in them. He was ex-
tremely forty to find that a great many Freehold-
ers, and particularly thofe who came from a con-
fiderable diflance, were put to the inconvenience
of r.going away without voting, on account of the
poll hein-; doled fo loon. He had done all he
could, and made all the interelt in his power to
keep it open for two hours longer, but the Sheriffs
would not confent to ib fo, and he had no doubt
but their motives were juts; and proper. Upon the
whole, he had every reafon to be Satisfied with the
Rate of that day's poll, as he felt himfelf highly
flattered by the general approbation he had re-
ceived. He mull again exprefs his regret at the
inconvenience it mull be to many Gentlemen to
be obliged to come there again on the following
day : but at the fame time he would not intuit
free born Englifhmen by fuppofing that they con-
, fidered the exercife of their dearelt rights as a
trouble or an inconvenience. If his friends came
I forward on the following day, and gave him their
fupport, he had no manner of doubt but that he
fhould then be placed very high on the poll ; per-
haps at the head of it.—[/.ondfieser of afida*.]
The EleCtors as well as the Candidates then
went away.
Among the vall concourfe of people who were
outfide the hullings, there was the fame noife and
tumult as at other eledions, with this difference,
that the individuals who compofed it were far fu-
peiior in appearance to thole who conaitute the
low rabble at the Borough and Weaminfter elec.
lions. After the poll doled, but before the num-
i hers were announced, the Elators, in front of
the Hollings were very clamorous againft Mr.
.ski One of them brandifhed a cat-o'-
Lune tails with fingular dexterity for tome time,
levet al of his companions hnitted a man in a
faiior's deed upon the thoolders of their neighbours.
Tue tailor had his arms bound by a maffy chain,
and white the executioner anointed his back with
lii.s in:irunient of flagellation, he exhibited all the
agonies and tranfports of pain in his counte-
nance as if lie was aZltrilly receiving difcipline,
with true Theatric effeCt. This piece of par-
, tica/ ce;: was loudly applauded. The cry of
‘. No Battik' was ineitifliiontly kept up in all di-
, reCtions, not only about 'tie Hollings, but in the
town of BrentiOrd, wlure about lix o'clock yeller.

iiidkations of approaching go irrels.

flutes before eight the numbers were deel.o:d to 1.,..:

Mr. HON YWOOD appeared upon the Hitting
about fix o'clock, and was received with the
greatcft enthufiam. He looked extremely well.
He afterwards returned thanks for the fupport he
had received in a very feeling manner, and tite tky
was rent with acclamations.

Sir EDWARD KNATCHBULL's addrefs was rather
defponding, and his itrength is faid to be nearly
exhaufted. The crowd on the heath was prodi-
gious; but the ftruggles between the different par-
ties has produced nothing unpleafant.
