GENTLtMtN,
IT is in the higheft degree gratifying to me that
my Friends are now raieved trom the long attendance
which their generous exertions have impoled on them durirg
the courfe of a tedious Poll, and a mare tedious Scrutiny. Tat
what motives this laft meafure, hitherto unknown in this
county, is to be afcribed, they, who have been wiuieffes of its
commencement, its progrefs, and its termination, arc kit able
to judge • but on the propriety and condo@ of fuch a proceed-
ing, under the peculiar circumstances of the Poll, at this fea-
fon of the year, thr impartial, calm, and rational Friends of
both parties have long finee decided.-1 have no with to revive
the memory of tranfadions, which, whatever may have been
their influence both on individuals and the public, did not
originate with rue; but I cannot forbear to regret that the ad-
vice of the more confiderate was not heard, and that the Scru-
tiny, which has occafioned fuch general inconvenience, was
granted.—Of its event I have reafon to be proud, as it has not
only been the means of increafing my majority on the Poll,
but has glten the ftrongeft ebntradidion to the alfertion " that
the votes in my favour were the died of unfair arts, and did
not convey !lieJenfe of the real Freeholders of the County."
The fupport which I have received on this occafion, has been
the molt flattering, and the molt honourable; the lupport of
men,. whore independence and integrity, whole public and
pti vat(' Artues relied the higheft credit en the object of their
choice: for their Ready, friendship, for their generous and dfln-
terefted exertions, I (hall ever retain the molt lively fenfe of
gratithdi, without lofing fight of my public duty, or forgetting
that refped amiattention which is due from a Reprefentativt
to'the general body of his Conitituents.
Under the imprefflon of there fentiments, I with now to dole
the scene of the comer, in which we have ken engaged, to
conciliate the minds of my opponeats to the event. and to avert
the'ebfts df •perlonal and political " WAKPAILE."—I have the
honour to be, Gentlemen,
With record adgratitude,
Norwich, Your faithfdl and obedient fervant,
Augufb 23," I BM, JACOB HENRY ASTLEY.

To the GENTLEMEN, CLERGY, and FREEHOLDERS
of the COUNTY of NORFOLK.

GENTLIMEN,
PERMIT me to congratulate you upon the ter-
urination of the Scrutiny which Colonel Wodehoufe pro-
feffedly demattded in compliance with the wifhes of his friends,
and of which he has openly declared to you Lis " warmeft ap-
probation." How fir the zeal of his advifers was accompanied
by knowledge and difcretion, mutt be left to the confideration
of thole, who may long have reafon to remember, that a Ma-
jority
.in favour of Sir Jacob Aitley, which upon the Poll
amounted to ninety-five, has now reached one hundred and
nine, after the ftrenuous efforts that were made to reduce it for
the fpace of twenty days.

I am not' rath, Gentlemen, in ftatini, that lithe time had al-
lowed every objectionable vote upon every fide to be fairly and
fully examined, .the fuperiority of Sir Jacob Aftley would, in
all probability, have, been greater, than k now Is ; and I confers
that
,the very Anulual, proceedings of the Sheriff's Court, have
ultimately Itrengthened my confidence in the merits of a caufe,
which after a eonftruetion of the Statute, poffibly tight, a con-
ftrudion, poilbly wrong, and doubtfiii affumptions without any '
con/In:al as at all, has proved vhitorious.—l cannot, indeed, dif-
femble thi. painful regret which 1 felt, when for purpofes of
defence only, my Counfel found themfelves obliged to adopt the
mode of warfare' which their adveriarks had employed, and
thus to difpute the Votes of many worthy and refpedtable Free-
holders on the mound of mere informality.—But for fe►erities,
which it was not in my power to prevent, the Pole refponfibi-
lity lies, not with the parties, who reludantly engaged iu the
Serutiny,but with the perfons whn originally and fpontaneoufiy
called upon the Sheriff to grant it.
Sincere is my forrow for the lots of time, the vexation of
fpirit, and other unpleafant effects, which the Scrutiny mutt
have occafioned, among perfons, who are fcattered at yarious
diftances from Norwich, and whole pretence at home mutt, in
this feafon of harveft, have been peculiarly neeeffary to the
right management of their agricultural concerns. Your good
fence, however, will fuggeft to you, that Sir Jacob Aftley and
myfelf arc no othervrife anfwerable for thefe interruptions, than
as Men, who were costtellai to ad upon the conditions which
their opponents had prefcribed to thc.t., and who, by fo doing,
have eventually eftablifhed your rights, together with their own.
—Your Patriotifm, at the fame time, will find ample cont-
pentad m for every temporary inconvenience, when you view
the relult of the Scrutiny, as a molt unequivocal proof of that
wifdom and that equity, which charaeterize the Laws of Eng-
land, and by which they are jullly endeared to every Engliih
heart. .

Among other favourable confequences of this event, an op-
portunity is again afforded me for returning my cordial and
molt refpedtful thanks to all my conftituents—to thole, who
with a candour and impartiality that will ever command my
efteem,fupported me jointly with Colonel Wodehoufe—to thofe,
who thought me worthy of the high diftintlion conferred by a
fingk vote—and to thole' who from motives which molt deeply
Intereft my belt feelings, beitowed their fuffrages on Sir Jacob
Aftley, as well as mylek
Many and Weighty are the obligations which you laid upon
the fuccefsful Candidates during the Elettion, and which, both
of us, I truft, will always remember with unfeigned fatisfac-
tion, and endeavour atleaft to repay with unfhaken fidelity.—
But my particular and molt grateful acknowledgments are now
due to you, for your dignified generofity in fultaiiiing the ex-
pences of the Scrutiny, and for your unwearied activity in faci-
litating the feparation of legal from illegal votes.r-The decifion
made by the Sheriff, will, I hope, fpeedily put an end to all
Political anbnOfities; and Cure kam, that no exertions on my
part will be wanting to reftore that harmony and mutual good
humour, which lately prevailed among you, and which it is
the glory of a tree people to confider as fufpended, but not de-
itroyed, by difference of opinion, in the exercife of their com-
mon rights for the common good.
As Colonel Wodehoufe, in his Addrcfs to Too, complains of
Prat:llea, which he deferibes under tile name of " dirt:," and
fuch arts too " as he would nave blulhed to fee employed in his
own behalf," lam under the neceffity of confronting vague and
invidious ftatement with direct and ingenuous explanation.—
In what, then, let me afk,confift the arts fo confidently imput-
ed, and fo iharply•cenfured ? And what are the fats which tend
so convict me of having the fmalleft !hare in them ? Molt cer-
Ltinly, I fhould have been alhamed to insinuate concerning my
Competitor, u Come friends of that Competitor have molt
fryely reported concerning me, that he thinks himfelf under lit-
tle or no obligation to thofe, who voted for him fingly, or con-
jointly with myfeif. As certainly I have not wilted to call
down odium upon him, as others have wickedly endeavoured
to bring it upon me, by afcribing to him indecorums which ho
me ver committed, abfurdities which he never uttered, and fol.
timents of illiberality combined with arrogance, which he is
equally incapable with myfelf of harbouring, even for one mo-
ment, in his bofum.-.4 have not attempted to lull the vigilance
of my opponents, or to cheer the hopes Of my fupporters, by
ambiguous and indired preparations for conteft, to be avow,
or explained away, to be purfued or abandoned, to be employ.
ed in one quarter, or transferred to another, as experiments,
and confultatiuns upon the refult of experiment, might require.
--I am not indebted for any portion of my furke4 to the apof-
tacy of fickle companions anti faithiefs friends, :Kim the caufe
of my honourable and much refpeeted rival-4 have not let loofa
a fierce and inquilitorial fpirit of detraction, upon the real or
fuppofed faults of my neighbours in private.life.—l have not de-
graded a large and opulent County into the fituation of a petty
and venal Borough, by eagernefs in Billing peremptory orders
for the Bribery Oath to be adminiftered, without any apparent
plea trona nectility, and without the ordinary ddicackis of dill.

' crbnination. I have enticed no titan by bribes—l have Wind
dated no man by menaces—and, as to the pretenfions of voters
who have been precipitately, and I should think, unhindfomely
ft ylcd '‘isrpfiors," the Scrutiny thews molt inconteliably, that
fuel pretenlions, if fuch there were, have not been culotte-.
nah.:ed.by me. boubtlefs, in the hurry of a couteft lo fpirited
in itfelf, and fo unforfecn by my well...winters, phflible it is, that
among thole who fupporred, as well as thole who oppofed me,
fcveral perfons have innocently fallcirinto miftakes about the na •
tiur.: °eclair property, aqd the extent of their qualifications.—
But my fettle of propriety would not have fulfered me to charge
ivitAire upon any man, or any bodies of men, %inlet's I were in
pulls ion of the cleareft proofs; and my long acquaintance with
the frank and manly character of the Freeholders of Norfolk,
abundantly convinces me, than no one dais of them &Arita
to be mentioned in opprobrious terms.—For my part, I am ac-
co ftomed to honour their zeal, whether the dlredion it takes be
favourahk or unfavourable to myfelf ; and I am determined to
vindicate their rights from whatfoever quarter they may be at-
tacked.

Through every fiaae of the prefent =telt, it has been mr
earneft defire to abftain from unprovoked and unbecoming re-
proaches towards every man, who, from the honeft consh9.ion
o: his own mind, fuppurted my Competitor.—But when nay
opponents Rand forth as my accufers,thoy would do well to re-
member, that fo far as my fuffrages in Parliament, or my in.
fluence out of it, could have extended, no Hufbandman or Ma-
nufadurer would have been bereaved of the fruits of his honeft
induitry, or dragged from the land of his fathers, to perifb in
foreign climes; no lovely charities of focial life, by which friend
is endeared to friend, or neighbour to neighnour, would have
been interrupted; no burthenfome taxes would have been im.
pored; no innovations would have been craftily introduced into
Government; no rigour would have been wantonly excrcifed
without the fandion of law ; no altar would have been pro-
phoned; no throne would have been endangered; no cottage
would have been viflted by the foreft (courges of Heovx pef-
tilence, famine, and the (word.

Prepared alike againft the fnare of folieltation, and the din
of threats, I difdain to dcfert In reality, or even appearance,
the genuine dodtrines of Whiggifm—d found in common fenfe
and common honefty, fufficient prefervatives for myfell
the contagion of popular panic, and the fedudion of high, but
in Come inftancca, I fear, corrupt example-1 looked for na•
tional honour in national fecurity—for national fecurity in
peace—and for peace, in the triumph of wifdom over prejudice,
of j Alec over paffion, and of magnanimity over real or pretend-
ed fears.

For the rule of my condudt, I have again and again refused
you, not to romantic and novel theories, but to thole praaical
ohd found principles, which afforded to our anceftors the curet!
*otecction for their happinefs as men, and their privileges as
Engliffimcn—principles, which acquired, Curdy, additional au-
thority and additional laftre under the aufpices of William 111.
and which, in fucceeding reigns, feem to have been deeply in-
curporated into the opinions,- the habits, and the laws of an
enlightened people, who were confcious of having been deli-
vered, without Wo.dihed, from the perils of civil and religious
bondage thofe principles was I enabled to difcern the
trankendental and charaderiftic excellence of a Conftitution,
which, like our own, had placed not only the firongefi, but the
very deardi boundaries between the ufe anclabufe of power, on
the one hand, and between liberty and licentioufnefs on the
other.—To thofe principles I adhered, not only during the
fmooth and profperous flow of public affairs, but amiclft thofe
occafional agitations of the public mind, to which every form
of Government,contrived by human wifdom,but adminiftered
by human infirmity, muft inevitably be expofed. From thofet
principles I fwcrved not, under the multiplied difficulties of
two eventful Wars. Guided by thole principles, I formerly
ftrove to avert that neceffity, which fevered our American
Colonies from the Mother Country, after a prof ufe expenditure
of treafure and of blood. At a later period, I was taught by
thofe principles, to lament and to oppofe that fyftem of Admi-
niftration, *hich, according to the fober and avowed judg-
ment of almoft every Englithman, in almoft every party, finally
left us no other alternative, than a 4tbn ti nuance of holtilities,
by which /inland might have been fubjected to frefh and grind-
ing taxation, in frefh and unprofitable efforts, or the ceffation of
them, upon terms, which have given to France Inereafei fecu.
rity from all the has recovered, and increafed aggrandifement
from all the had acquired. It is now become my iadifperfable
and moft pleafing duty, to employ thofe principles in diffufing
an•i perpetuating the bleffing% which PROviDENCF. has graciouf.
ly beftowed upon us by the return of-Peacer and if any deplo.
rable change in the politics of Europe thould again bring my
country into a state of warfare, I (hall again have recourfe to
the fafne principles, as the moft efficacious means of alleviating
its calamities, and &Preening its duration.

Surely, he that recommends fah principles by precept, or
enforces them by example, ought not to be hunted down by
rude and favage clamour, as the enemy of civilization—as the
difturber of good order—as a yacobia, who, in the deteftableo
fpirit of the c.zew, and according to the only justifiable ufe of
the co.rd, would plunder his fuperiurs,tyranuize over his Coun-
trymen, murder his Governors, and blafpheme his Gon,
During the calm of peace, there cannot be even the colour of
a reason for the repetition of that hideous jargon, which be.
guiled and exafperated the minds of men in the gloomy and
Lmpeltuous feafon of war.

Far he it from me to condemn in other men that exercife of
free and impartial judgment, which I have ever afferted for
myfelf : but if any perfons there be, who, deaf to the warnings
of recent experience, are yet determined to perlift in undit•
golfed, undiftinguifhhig, unrelenting hoftility, to the principles
for which I contend, it cannot be improper to remind them,
that they may themfelves unwarily realize the mifchiefs which
they loudly deprecate, and eventually become the dcftroyers,
not the prefervers of national itrength, con:olidated by national
union, and invigorated by Conftitutional liberty.
At fuck a jundure as the prefent, it were vain to meet that
every Freeholder ilhould alrent to every opinion, or approve of
every !mature, for which I bold mytelfrefponfible to the Coun-
ty, and to the Public—But I am aft:dyed to deceive no mail,
be he friendly or advet fe to me, though I am aware, that by
executing that refolution, I may chance to ofil.nd in force quer.
ten, where' it is hnpolfible for me to pleafe, without the bare.
nets of duplicity, or the !manners of cowardicl.—Be then aft.

rence than I do, for Loyalty, AS a precious and facred homage
due to power, wherefoever power, under the guidance of law,
is emphiyed, in foftcring merit, in protecting innocence, and
in difpenfing equal juftice to every fulled of every clafs.—But
!Ismerx forbid, that under the difgnife, or 1 ihould rather fay,
by thetecilitsiti." of this or any other venLeable name, I fliould
furrender my independence, or violate my confidence—That
for felfifh purpofeb of venality or ambition, I fhotild be the be.
traycr, when I have pledged myfelf to he a guardian, of the
public weal—That I fhould endeavour to decoy others, or Cutter
myfelf to be decoyed into fottifh credulity, or abject thraldom.

In the Sitting of the sth of Auguß, Citizen
MoNos gave an account of the difcovery made by
Citizen LABORDE, during his travels in Spain, ni
certain Mofaic Reprefentations in the ancient Cit),
of Italica. They are far fuperior to any of thofe
that have been handed down to us from antiquity.
They contain an accurate defcription of a circus
and a chariot-race. The circus• is furrounded by
the bugs of the Mures, three of which are unfor-
tunately broken. 'rhefe ravages, however, have
not extended over the whole of the circus; which
in every relpea refemhles that of CARACALLA. Ci-
tizen LABORDE will the-rely publith an account of
the various Monuments of Antiquity which he dif-
covered in Spain; and give a particular drfcrip
tion of Italica, which was the birth-place of flea-
jam, ADRIAN, THEODOSIUS THE. GR RAT, SI L lUS
IraLecus, and CORN I LIU: who %as Centurion of
a Cohort, called Colson dahca, who is fpoken of
in the Alts of the Apottles, and' who &It em-
braced the Chrißian Religion. The Author treats
largely of the -Ancient Circus, -nf the Proceflion,
the Place of the Pretor, the Gaols, the Race
courfe, and the ornaments of the Circus ; he com-
p es.it with the Hippodrome (horfe-race courfe)
of Olympus, which has been defcribed by the.
learned BART H ILEN le

Long accouncc have already been given of the
faElions of the Circus, and the bloody quarrels
which they gave rife to at Rome and Conitantino-
ple, under the Emperors. But no ancient monu-
ments, except the Mofaics, have ever given the par-
ticular colours by which they were diftinguillted.
Here are to be feen the green faCtion and the red
faaion reida). The drt ffes of the hor:enten
and charioteers are faithfully deferibed; and in
the Mofaic of Italica is to be obferved, for the firff
Cm:, the Seafons dittinguifhed by their relpec-
tive colours. The Genius of Spring, which holds
in its hand a bird, wears a green mantle ; the Ge.
nius of Summer carries a baiket full of fruit, and
is cloathed with a robe of a red colour ; the Ge•
nius of Winter is nearly deilroyed ; but it can
,tafily be perceived that it was cloathed in white,
that it canted a hare in its hand, and a quiver on
its back.

To this explanation of the Mofaic of Italica, the
Author has added his refearches concerning the
paintings in Mollie, among the Ancients, and the
monuments of that kind which have not yet been
H,e has traverfed France, England,
Switzerland, Germany, Italy, and Spain, and
gives an account of the Mofaics he has dilcoveted
there. Rome alone contains as much of them as
are to be found in the relt of Europe. Lasoanx's
work contains a plate of the defigns of the Mo-
faics of Italica. His work, upon the whole, is a
moa valuable acquifition to Antiquarians.
