fpeech of mine in the 11..t7fe of C.,mmons, in the cafe
of the journeymen calico printers, massy of whom
with mar now hear me. That paper was no: printed
or circulated by my order, but I lolly Avow the fenti•
ment it contains ; I have aver been the friend and
advocate of the humble and in° untiring chiles of my
fellow lobj.afts. I have declared, and I now repeat
ir, that In long as I have the honour of a feat its Par.
liamen:, the cattle of the poor (hall never want en
advocate againa the nppreffions of the filch, nor (half
the weak want a friend a.,-ainfl the tyranny of the
firong ; and, by the b!etling of Goa, fo long as 1
am able to 'air.: my voice within the walls of Parlia.
oleic, I will not Puffer the indulirious orders of arti.
fans to be .pprefred or infulted by thole who have
railed fortunes upon their toil —[Burfis if applaufe ]
—Gentlemen, as the latt Candidate here, I might
claim the right of being the tall fpeaker ; and
thntild thereby have the advantage of being able to
reply to any obfervations that might fell from the
other Candidates. I now, however, beg leave to
advert to tome comments, which fell yellerday from
the Noble Lord near me, whole profeffions I believe
to be fincere, and of whole worth as• a gallant ulcer
lam highly lenfible. .Hi' comments alluded to the
Earl Sr. Vincent. Bit I fieg leave to fay (allowing
the N. ble Lnrd to retain Ins own opinions) that I
don't believe there ever erilted a man at the head of
the naval fervice to whom his country (lands more
light,; indeb'ed than to th it Noble Earl. I (peak
my own opinions, and with not to deny to any mass
the right of retaining his. Gentlemen, I approve
what the N time Lord has prrfeffed on the fubjeft of
reform of abufes, and in the public expenditure;
arid I will take this opt-sotto-14y of laying, that I
believe Pet of men who ever fat in a Britilh Houfe
of Parliament, ever did fa much, or evinced a dif•
pofition tn,gn fo effeCtually into that reform, as the
late Adminittration.—[Cries of No! N I—Hiffes
and applanks alternately.]—Gentlemen, I (peak my
own opinion ; it is that of a man, who throughout
the whale of his political life, has taken every op.
portunity to mark his deteflation of puhfic abufes
and corruption. I can afrate the Noble Lord, that
whenever he brings forward any meafure of reform
on thefe heads, he (hail find me his zealous affiaant.
—For no man abhors more than I do the fyllem of
profufion and corruption, by which the country has
been fo long plundered ; or thole hordes of Ccntrac.
tors, Loan Jobbers, and Peculators, who, like vul.
tures, hover in the traits of war, to fatten andtbrive
upon the toils of the pone, and the blood of the brave.
—[But fts of apptaufe J—N sw, Gentlemen, Sala
Monday will very (bon be here ; and, unles I aria
flattered by my friends, I (ball cut a very different
fort of a figure in the refolt of that day's poll, from
what I do at the end of this. I (hall, fur the prefent,
rake nay leave of you, requelling your belt ezertions
in the mean time on my behalf. And I have only
to aline you, that (Mould I ultimately fail of fuccefs,
it than never wound my temper, nor !den my refpe&
for you ; and fo far from bearing animofity tnwards
the fuccelifnl Candidate, whoever he may be, I (ball
cheerfully shake hands wi:h him, and congratulate
him on the honour • nr choke.
Lord COCHRANE tht4t tame. forward, and obferved
that he peifeftly agreed with the candidate who had
addreffed them, that frequent Opportunities ought to
be allowed to the people of chufing their Reprefeata.
Lives, and he was at the fame time of opinion that the
candidates ought not to be linked together. The
Reprefentatives ought to be the free choice of the
people, intlead of having one dragged on by another,
in the manner they had lately witneffed. As to
the fitnels of Naval Officers to have Seats in Par•
liament, he again repeated that none but Officers
in allual fervice could bring to light the abufes under
the different fyflema. Alt others were completely
ignorant of them, and of that they had juft ken au
;aft/ince. That there did exift abufes he maintained,
and he could (rapport the affertion by proofs which
no one could deny. Under the name of economy,
fhips were kept at tea till they became ufelefr and
rotten, to the imminent peril of the crews, and fume.
times to the delttuftion of a great part of them. A
fyftem or tyranny and oppreffion had prevailed for Is
years in the Navy, to the fcandal of thole under whoa
it is been permitted t' exift (applaufe). The ty
ranny had been filch, that Officers were afraid to
report when their veffels were unfit to keep the.fea;
and were, therefore, tempted to hold out, though the
fhip's company were in imminent .anger of perifhing.
his Lordship mentioned an inilance which had fallen
tinder his own obfervation when he was on, the
Rochefort Ration. He was, on that oteafion, or
dered to vlftual the Alert Hoop or war, but, upon
examining, found that the was not fit to keep the lea,
and declared his opinion. The veffel, however, wit
kept out and was loft—he did not think it was necet
fary to enter upon particulars ; the malts, ate. were
forting, and in short the veffel went to the devil [ao
clamatiuns and a laugh.] This, his Lordthip ob
let e tl, was no laughing matter. The Felix (01
Phoebe) fchooner, was alto kept at fea, by the fame
tyrannical fyftem, and perithed. Who but naval
men could bring thefe things to light ? They wass
not known to others, and they had but WI had an
inflance of this ignorance [applaufe.] There was
another thing with which be would trouble theta (b 1
G—, faid he, turning to his friends on the Hafiitiks,

owthegood of the ferviee could be much promoted by
having the Commander of the Channel Fleet refident
here in London. He did not believe that Commanders
in Chief were accuflomed to employ Captains inflead
of Admirals under them, though it was very poflible
that fuch a praCtice might have been tanned to by a
Commander in Chief, in order to increafe his profits,
fitting here in London on his bottom [laughter.]
He could tell them a long glory about this, but this
much would (Ace for the pretest: a little and a little
every day as they went on. He would only detain
them a moment longer, to exprefs his reverence for
his King, his attachment to the Contlitution, and his
regret for the excrefcences that adhered to it [ap-
plaufe]. He was not for cutting the tree of corrup-
tion at once, but for lopping off the branches that the
trunk might wither and die. He withed that he might

he 1-quelling that his friends, mftead of (landing all
(lay looking at the hulling:, would do him the favour
to come and poll fur him on Monday.
Mr.JEstttttoa obferved that the Nobletnrd teemed
to he acquainted with the abufes in the Navy, and
certainly appeared difpofed to correCt them. If he
Abet ed to his pledges, he might be an ufeful Mem-
ber of Parliament, if he could attend there. But he
(poke in behalf of the Eleitors They had nothing
to do with parties. Sir Francis Burdett had attach.
ed himfelf to no party, his party was the Coun-
try [applaufe]. He did not confine himfelf to
vain declarations---he had not forgot his promifes.
Sir Francis Burdett had been crud—[`Never, never!
from feveral places on the hultings]. 1 hey had found
h m ready to devote his fortune and his life in their
fervice— [Applaufe]. Whoever came forward for
their favour, ought to give theta pledges for their
condo°, and enter into particulars, that they might
afterwards give them the lie, unlefs they ailed ac-
cording to their promifes— [Applaufe]. He was
happy to inform them that, though Sir Francis was
low en the poll that day, yet if one-tenth of thrife who
had given promifes thould come up on Monday to
poll for him, he would be far ahead. He hoped that
they would devote the next day, a day of leifure, to
the duty of bringing up their friends to poll for Sir
Francis Burdett.
Mr. attar next endeavoured to addrefs the
Eleanrs, but was received with the intetrant hoodoo
and difapprobation of the multitude aftembled. He
requelled them to attend to the fuggettion of the
Right Honourable Candidate (Mr. Sheridan,) who
had handily told them that the bell proof of a •
good carafe was to hear and impartially to judge
upon the language, the principles, and the general
charader of all thole who had been prefented for
their choice. (The clamour became fo univerfal,
and the !limits of the multitude, expreffive of their
dillike of the fpeaker, fo frequent, that the worthy
Candidate judged it moil advifable to withdraw.)
Mr. Gißuotts (in behalf of Mr. Paoli) Paid, that
he looked at the Rate of the poll and law for Mr.
Paull the glorious number " as." On the political
inciples of Mr. Paull he need not enlarge, as they
were well known to them. He refpeaed Sir Francii
Burdett ; but he could not but fay that Come of his
Mends had been guilty of political fraud and aponacy
with refpea to Mr. Paull. (uproar, trail a cry of " no,
no.") He would exercife his continntional right,
and offer his opinion of all the Candidates. With
regard to the Noble Lord, he had heard a great deal
of profcffion from him, he acknowledged his naval•
fervices, and knew that he deferred well of his
country ; but he could not fight their battles in Par-
liament and on his own element. If Lord Gardner
and Sir S. Hood at,ended at all, it was merely-to take
their feats. He had heard from the Noble Lord a
term farcafm again(' rotten boroughs. But he had
alto heard, that the Noble Lord had been returned
for Honiton. Honiton contained only about 4cro
voters, while the populous town of Birmingham was
wholly unreprefented. He would ark the Noble Lord
if that was connitutional ? Mr. Elliot had yeiterday
laid, that he came forward on independent prince •
pies. [Here he looked round for Mr. Elliot, be-
eaufe, he laid, he did not with to make obfervations
on him in his abfence. Mr. Elliot, however, was
not to be ken, and the crowd let up the hunting
cry " Hole seray—yoics—rally. ho."] He mull elk,
however, in hopes it would be mentioned to Mr.
Elliot,how he could fay that he came forward on in-
dependent principles, when he had circulated cards
requiring votes by defire of Sir James Pulteney ("The
Secretaty at War," was exclaimed from the crowd )
Sir Francis Burdett was certainly a fit perfon to re-
prefent them ; but he could not have authorized his
nomination ; nor could he confitlently, accept of a
feat in Parliament (difapprobation and cries of " ye;
,he may") ; although he 'koold be glad to fee him
come into the Houle. He would do Mr. Sheridan
s great objection to him before was, that
he held a place: In all the Parliaments in which he
had fat, except the lag, he had been confillent.—
[Some difapprobation.]—That was his opinion ; and
he would do jullice to all, and therefore he repeated,
that, with the above exception, the condua of Mr.
Sheridan had been perfealy confi tient withhis pledges.
He underilood him to fay that he had been unable to
Prevail upon Mr. Paull to give up his pretentions,
and as he approved of Mr. Paull's political conduit,
Ile was bound in confillency to fupport him.
Lord Cooteatts tipped forward [a loud cry of
spoke, fpoke."] " Gentlemen, (laid he,) I am floe
'"rig to trouble you with a long tpecch. I have
to Ay this to you—lnlead of troubling your
=l,!t with elation bufinefs to-morrow, I would
4,:vile you all to go to church." :A roar of applaufe.)

The EtcEdon for this Univerlity took place yeller-
day. The Candidates were Lords Eu S TON and Ha N
PETTY, the former Members, together with Lord
PALMERSTON, and Sir VICK AR Y Grans, the Attorney
General. Lord PALMERSTON, the former opponent
of Lord HENRY Parry, was brought forwatdas the
Minillerial Candidate, by Saint John's College :
and as Lord EUSTON, who had reprefented the Uni-
verfity twenty.three years, had lately resigned an
Office under Government, he was conlidered by
Lord Par.st garrotes Friends as an improper per-
fon to be their Reprefentative in Parliament. They
therefore propofed, as a joint Candidate with Lord
PALMERSTON, Sir VICK ART GIBE 3, formerly fellow
of King's College, but who had withdrawn-his name
from the College boards, and had long ceafed to have
any intereourfe or conndlion with the Univerfity..-.
It was thought that this Gentleman's rank at the bar,
and his conneftion with King's College, and the pro.
lemon of the law, would gain over to Lord PALMER.
STON a certain portion cf Lord HENRY Parry's
flrength in thofe important quarter& In confequence
of this measure, and of the cry of " no popery," but
principally from the aldence of many parliamentary
and profeffional friends who were kept away by the,
numerous Elections then taking place, it was ap-
parent that Lord. HENRY'S flrength would undergo '1
fome diminution; and it was therefore determined
on the eve of the Eldlion that Loch of his friends as
gave him their angle votes, flould keep themfelvas
an referve for the latter end of the Poll. During thei
early part of the day it was perceived that the mini.
aerial Candidates were conliderably at the head; and
there being no reafonable profpea of bringing in Lord
HENRY PETTY, it was determined at a numerous
meeting of his Lordthip and his friends, to divide
their votes between him and Lnrd Eusrow. In
confequence of this refolution, near too tingle votes
were thus divided; and, Lord EusroN, who would
utherwife have been lowelt, was triumphantly placed
at the head of the Poll. It appeared alto that Sir
VICKARY GISH!, who had been called in as an auxi-
liary, had proved mote powerful than was expeacci
or was intended, and that he was roper ior in numbers
to Lord PALM' RSTON. The conceit was more fever e
than has been known (ince Mr. Pry is firil EleCtion in
1784, and the declaration that Lord Eurron and Sir
VicartarGrass were duly elated, which was not an-
nounced till half part twelve o'clock at night, was
received in the Senate Houle with great applanfe and
acclamations.
The numbers were as follow :

By an advertilement in the Liverpool paper, figned
by the Mayor of that town, it appears that a young
man was killed in the affray which took place at the
eleilion. The Coronet's Jury returned a verdict of
—Accidental Death.

On. Saturday fe'nnight the inhabitants.of Silkflone,
near Doncafler, were 'if-lied by one of the molt
alarming phenomena ever remembered. The clouds
had portended rain, but none had then fallen there,
when fuddenly a torrent of water, appearing from
four to fix feet in diameter, deluged the town, which
is fitnated in a valley, and feveral perfons were un•
fortunately drowned. In one houfe a woman and
her four children were fated together, when the flood
wilted in, and riling fo rapidly, it .was with the
greatelt difficulty the Caved herfelf and three of the
children by running tip (lairs; the fourth, a girl, feven
years of age, afcended the fink (tone to live herfelf,
but perithed. In an adjoining honk ; woman and
two of her grand children were alto drowned. Two
holies in a neighbouring mill loft their lives, and three
others fared themfelres by railing the floor.

At Prefton, in Lancafhire, on Monday, there was
a ftorm of hail, rain, and thunder and lightning,
fuppofed to be the moil fevere ever experienced in
that part of the country. At its commencement it
was compared to the Petting in of the rainy feafon oh
the coaft of Africa—the moil vivid lightning, almoft
one continued AA, accompanied with peals of thun-
der without internsiffinn; in a fhort time the rain
began, and poured down in torrents, fucceeded by
hail, fuch quantities, and of filch magnitude, as to
break windows and fkylights innumerable ; fcarcely
a hinge in the town with an afpeEt towards the f..uth.
eaft, but had lonic broken. Some of the hailttones,
which were meafured, were upwards of three inches
and a hay in circumference!—The damage done to the
fruit trees mutt be very confiderable. The ftorm
began at five o'clock, and continued an hour.

A dirpateh, of which the inclofed is a Copy. has been received
tires Day at the Office of Vireos:tat Calllereagh. one of his Ma-
k-fly% principal Secretaries of State, from Major Geowal Fraf-T,
da•cd Alexandria. the 25th of March. tgol, addrcircd to the
Right Honourable William Windham :

Alciandria, March as, 1807.

Sir—lt is with much fatisfaaion I have the honour
to inform you, that, in the afternoon of the zo,h
current, the town and tumefies of Alexandria, with
two Tut kith frigate. and a corvette, furrendered to
his %jetty's arms by capitulation; and that they
' were taken pofTelLon of on the memorable morning
of the 2 lit, by the troops under my command.
You are already apprifed of my having been de•
tached on this fervice, with a body of troops from
Melina, by his Excellency General For, under con-
voy of his Majefly'b (hips Tigre and Apollo ; and the
Wizard limp was fent forward by Captain Hallowell,
to get intelligence from Major Miffet, whom I had
been by my infirtleions diretled to cnnfult as to the
bed plan of operations for effeeing the fourpofes of
the expedition.
I have now to acquaint you, that in the night of
the 7:11 inilant (the day after we failed), the Apollo
frigate, with nineteen tranfpnrts nut of thirty-three
which conveyed the troops, parted company, and
that the other fourteen, with the Tigre, came to an
anchor to the wefiward of Alexandria on the 16th.

On our getting near the land we law the Wizard,
and Captain Palmer immediately ly•onght me the
intelligence he had received from Major Millet, to-
gether with a letter from him, Hating that he had
not come off himfelf, thinking his pretence in Alex-
andria abfolntely neceffary to counterad the intrigues
of the French Conful, who was endeavouring to
prevail upon the Governor to admit a body of Alba
nians from Rofetta, to air& in the defence of the
place. He earneftly recommended me to land the
troops immediately, as the inhabitants were well of
fated towards its, and that he had Linguine hopes
we lhould be able to get poffeflion of it without fir.
ing a (hot.
Before I determined, however, upon this mea-
fore, I deemed it prudent to acquaint Majra Mitlft
with the very diminished Hate of my force, and I
therefore fent in tin, Aide de Camp, Capt. t'Courr,
of the 3111 regiment, with a flag of truce to him,
with a detailed account of it, and at the fame time
a manifenn to the Governor and Inhabitants (a copy
of which I inclofe), which had not the defiled circa,
but on the contrary, was treated by the Governor
With contempt,
The Major, however, in reply, flrongly urged my
immediately landing ; Hill repeating that we Ihould
not meet with any refinance, and that • doing fo
would be the only means of preventing th.e gartifon
being reinforced by the Albanians, who had ado:Illy
been fent for, and might be expeded in the courfe of
twenty-four hours.
Thefe confiderations led me to follow his advice ;
and accordingly I landed that evening (the 17th)
as many troops as our fmall number of boats could
convey, a few miles to the eaftwatd of Marabout,
without oppofition, though I could only take up a
polition for the night ; as, before the next landing
could be effected, fuch a forf had at ifen on the beach,-
as totally to prevent the fecond from ap-
proaching the (bore.
The next morning, however, with irfi-tite diffi-
culty and rillt they were landed ; but finding my
fituation now from the increased height of the furl,
and appearance of the weather, to be very preca-
rious, both with refped to getting provifions or times
on (bore, or having any communications with the
tranfports, I determined at all hazards to force my
way to the wellern fide, where I could receive fop-
plies from Aboukir Bay, at the fame time refolving
to attempt (in palling) to get into the town even with
the fmall force I had, and pufh my way, it poffible,
into the forts that commanded it, a matter I had rea-
fon to believe from Major Millet and others, would
not be very difficult to accomplifh.
I therefore moved forward about eight o'clock in
the evening of the 18th, .and in our way forced a
palliladed intrenchmenr, with a deep ditch in front
of it (that had been thrown up by the Tusks, as a
defence againft the Mamelukes and Arabs on the
weflern fide), firetching from Fort des Bains to Lake
Mariotis, ftrengthened by three batteries mounting
eight guns, exclufive of Fort des Bains on its right
sank, mounting 13 guns.
This we effected with very little Ids, though under
a heavy fire of cannon and mufketry, and proceeded
within a few yards of Pompey's Gate, where we
found the garrifon prepared to receive us, the gate
barricadoed, and the walls lined with troops and
armed inhabitants : this, added- to the fmallnels of
my force (not exceeding one thonfand men of all
defcriptions) led me to think the rifle too great, and
I determined to proceed to the weftward, as I had
originally intended, where I arrived in the morning
of the isah, and took up my pofition on the ground
the &kith troops occupied in the atlion of the atfl,
immediately fending detachments to take poffeflinn
of Aboukir caftle, and the cut between the lakes
Maadie and Mariotir, by which communication the
reinforcement of Albanians was expeeted in Alexan-
dria ; in both thdle attempts we fucceeded.
The next day, the aoth, I fent in (by a friendly
Arab that had (Wen out of town and joined us) a
manifello, addrefled to the inhabitants, warning them
of the danger of implicating friends and foes, in the
event of taking the place by affault, and urging them
to force the Governor to capitulate. This had the
dellred effect ; a flag of truce was fent out ; and a
capitulation (of which I herewith inclofe a copy)
was agreed to and figned.
Although this fervice has fortunifigi y not been of
long duration ; yet, from the fcantinefs of our num
bers, and the fcarcity of all farts of fop**, as well
' military gores as provifions (which tbb boifterous
Hate of the weather completely prevented cur receiv-
ing), our fituation was, for Come time, rather criti.
cal ; and I am happy to have it in my power to bear
teltimony to the patience and cheerfulnefswith which
the troops bore every privation, and the ardour and
fpirit they (hewed in the attack of the enemy's works,
as well-as the inclination and wilt they difplayed to
have formed the place, had I deemed that Cep ad-
vifable. .
To Major General Weuchope, the Honourable
Brigadier General Stuart, and Colonel Ofwald, who
, landed with and accompanied met I feel myfelf na-

der gre it obligations for their exec Con ail :sit:lance
in carrying on the leo vice ; and I am much indcb•ed
to Lieutenant Colonel Ai:ey, ading as Deputy Ad-
jutant General, and Captain Green, *Fling as Deputy
Q2arter Mailer General, for the great attention and
zeal (hewn by them in forwarding and executing the
duties of their refpeffive departments ; and I thin k
it but jullice to Captain Pym, and to the officers and
men of the detachment of 'he Royal Artillery that
was with me, to mention the very great zeal and
alacrity which they, difplayed on every occafi^n,
which I am confident would have been equally con-
fpicuous on the part of Captain Burgoyne and the
officers of the engineers, had circumflances permitted
them to have sifted.

To Captain Hallowell, and the officers and reamers
of his Majelly's (hip Tigre, .I cannot flifficiently
profs my acknowledgments for the aflidance they
afforded me, and for the rea,lioefs with which they
Rood forward on all, mations. Captrrin Hallnwell

city, and remained on &ire until the place furren-
dered ; from his advice and kcal knowledge, I de-
rived march uf.ful information.
Captain Withers of the royal navy, agent of tranf.
