Sir Flutters Bentogrr has addressed the follow-
ing Letter to the Electors of Westminster :

s Ktatr Pau, Micas? a.

" GutTLEsuar—On reading the Newspapers this
morning, having arrived Lite yesterday evening, I
was filled with shame, grief, and indignation at the
account of the blood spilled at Manchester.

" This, then, is the answer of the Borouglimon-1
gets to the petitioning people—this is the practical
proof of our standing in no need of ReforM—these
the practical blessings of our glorious Boroughtnon-
gets domination—this the use of a standing army in
time of peace. It seems our fathers were not such
fools as some would make us believe, in opposing
the establishment of a standing army, and sending
King William's Dutch Guards out of the country.
Yet, would to HEAVEN they had been Dutchmen or
Switzers, or Hessians, or Hanoverians, or any thing
rather than Englishmen, who have done such deeds.
What! kill men unarmed, unresisting; and, gracious
Goo! women too ; disfigured, maimed, cut down,
and trampled on by Dragoons! Is this England?
This a Christian land ? A land of freedom ? Can
such things be, and pass by us like a summer cloud,
unheeded? Forbid it every drop of English blood
in every vein that does not proclaim its owner bat-
tard! Will the Gentlemen of England support, or
wink at such proceedings ? They have a great stake
in their country ; they hold great estates, and they
are bound in duty and in honour to consider them as
retaining fees on the part of their country, for up-
holding its rights and liberties : surely they will at
length awake, and find they have duties to perform.
They never can stand tamely by, as lookers-on,
whilst bloody Neroes rip open their mother's womb;
they must join the general voice, loudly demanding
justice and redress ; and head Public Meetings
throughout the United Kingdom, to put a stop, in
its commencement, to a reign of terror and of blood;
to afford consolation, as far as it can be afforded,
and legal redress, to the widows and orphans—mu-
tilated victims of this unparalleled and barbarous
outrage.

" fOr this purpose I prop* that a Meeting should
be called in Westminster, which the Gentlemen of
the Committee will arrange, and whose summons I
will hold myself in readiness to attend. Whether
the penalty of our meeting will. be death by military
execution I know not; but this I know, a man can
die but once, and never better than in vindicating
the laws and liberties of his country.
" Excuse this hasty address. I can scarcely tell
what I have written; it may be a libel, or the At-
torney-General may call it one, just as he pleases.—
When the seven Bishops were tried for libel, the army
of James 11. then encamped on Hounslow-heath for
supporting arbitrary power, gave three cheers on
hearing of their acquittal. The King, startled at the
noise, asked, " What's that?" " Nothing, Sir," was
the answer, " but the soldiers shouting at the ac-
quittal of the seven Bishops." "Do you call that
nothing?" replied the misgiving tyrant; and shortly
after abdicated the Government.
" 'Tis tree, James could not inflict the torture on
his soldiers—could net tear the living flesh from their
bones with the cat• o'nine•tails—could not flay them
alive. Be this as it may, our duty is to meet ; and
England expects every man to do his duty.'
" I remain, Gentlemen, most truly and faithfully,
" Your most obedient servant,

(Signed)

" F. BURDETT."

FROM OUR PRIVATE CORRESPONDENT.
" PARIS, AUGUST 21.

4, The preparation's for the ensuing Exhibition, on
the 25th, of the produce of French industry, are of
the most magnificent description. We have been fa-
voured with a private ticket of admission. Every
thing strikes us with surprise, Whether we regard the',
extent to which luxury is carried, or the progress
that the useful arts have made in France. In the
porcelain of Sevres, we observed arduous attempts to
surpass their preceding efforts ; and the new disco-
veries in chemistry have not a little contributed to
this result. In dying, the progress is very sensible:
many of those colours, heretofore fugitive, are ren-
dered permanent. But the greatest progress is to be
found in the cotton and shawl manufactories : Si.
Quentin is, in fact, become the Manchester of France,
though in miniature.
The shawls rival those of India in the texture, and
surpass them in the brilliancy of the colours, and the
elegance of the designs : this branch of industry has
been created in France by the skill, spirit, and perse-
verance of M. Ternaux, one of the patriotic Deputies
for Paris. In the department of painting the French
School maintains its ground. One picture soars
alone above the rest, it is by Girodet ; it surpasses
all former efforts, and we shall bestow on it a parti-
cular description in a future letter."

Yesterday being a holiday at the Bank, none but private bar-
gains were made; a considerable deal of business was transacted,
and as to-morrow will be Settling-Jay, a number of Account;
were made up; the consequence was, that six defaulters were
declared, one whose differences amounted to £29,700 ;
others were of a minor consideration. It now turns out a Boil
Account, and Consols have fallen 1, per Cent. since the opening
price of yesterday. This morning they commenced at 70g, but
soon fell to 70 ; at twelve o'clock they were a shade better,
being done at 70ggg. Various reptsirts are in circulation for lie
cause of this depression, among which it is said that Jae Reve-
nue continues to MI off very mush thin 9 oirtt r.
