than in the mode of accomplishing it.— (" lam afraid
Ms shoat Accomplish it:)--They, the Reformers,
sioneed.soot so much a reform of; as a reform in, the ,
House of Cawmons. The Whigs would be content' 1
if they could Blast their opponents from the Treasury i I
bench. They, the Reformers, were at issue with
them on that point. He agreed with the great and
illustrious Jacobin of former times, the Right Hon.
William Att, that " no Minister could do any good,
Bird that no honest man could continue Minister with-
out a Reform"—(Shouts of applause).—.ln the letter
which he had written to the Freeholders, he had
shewn the effects of the flat and low spirits which he
then felt. Events which had since taken ilace had I
inspired a confidence and enthusiasm which made I
him believe that Reformers could be planted in the
House of Commons thick as hops—(Applause).—He I
should be content with something short of that. If
they could have one to twenty there. they would fight
the boroughmongers on their own dunghill—(Great
applause).—lf they would not tumble their ill-con-
structed fabric about their ears, let the Reformers of
England never be trusted again—(Long continued
shouts of applause).
Mr BYNG and Mr. MELLIsti were row declared
to be duly elected.
Mr. BYNo said, that agreeably with his pi ir.ciples
he always tilt the greatest satisfaction in meeting
t itlr the Freeholders of Middlesex. He felt the
greatest satisfaction in seeing so many friends at
Brentford that day to place him again in the high
and distinguished situation which he had filled. for
so many years. He felt highly gratified in his long
and arduous canvass to find that his conduct had
be'en every where approved of. This principally
arose from the honest and consistent conduct v :Lich
he had exhibited since he had been in Parliament—
(;heat opflausc). In common with all the friends of
freedom he would ever ever maintain those princi-
ples which had been asserted at the Revolution_
rrinsiples which, although not always most prey:tie-it
in this country, as a Gentleman had justly ren.arkel.
were most lasting and most conducive to the liberty
and happiness of the people—( great applause). He
could at-the same time most conscientiously assure
them, that if a great part of his life had been passed
in oppoi.itiOn to Ministers, he had never given a vote
from factious or disloyal motives—(great applauge).
Tirs liberties of the People were inseparably inter-
woven with the stability of the Crown ; and the
People, while their rights and lihertics were respect-
ed, would he ever ready to support the Constitution
of King, Lords, and Commons—(enthusiastic and
I-Az-continued applause). The People were sincerely
a -.(1 steadily attached Co the Constitution for which
our forefathers bled—to the Government under
which their'forefathers lived happy at home, and
were glorious abroad—to the well-balanced Consti-
tution, which had rendered this country, although
small in comisaiison with many other countries, great
and );lorioui beyond alrcompari>on.-{npylause).—
But if this country should be deprived of liberty, it
would soon Teresa to its oii&inal insignifiltance—'
(great app'7use). Let who will be Minister, if he
(ir. Byng) should ever sacrifice their interests to his
own dirty ambition, he should expect and deserve
th.::r abhorrence and extcration ; but while he con-
scie itiously performed his duty, he was sure to live,
not only in their voices, but in their hearia--(.lp-
pGiuse). It he should desert them, they would turn
their hacks upon him, and treat him with the abhor-
rence and contempt which he should peculiarly de.'
serve. He had said peculiarly, because he had, from
the earliest period of his life, at his father's fireside,
heard the People spoken of with reverence and affec.
ticn—(:. Itrur that, 111eUish r) He had only further

_ I

Mr. MZLLISH requested to be heard—(a tremendous'
noebreralion 9/'every term of dislike). He called upon
them as Englishmen to give him an opportunity of
speaking for himself; his conduct had been vilified;
he knew his friends approved of his conduct, but he
ssi.hed to make a few explanations— (a great uproar).

lie had acted Isom conscience, and feared not to be
asked any questions. As long as they reposed so
match trust in him. he should never traasgress his
duty.—The confusion and uproar was so vefiement
daring the whoh, time of Mr. Mullish's address, that
be could s:arcely be heard.
The return was thea announced : at Mr. Mellish's
name tax crowd vociferated " No, nu." The thanks
of the Meeting were next unanimensly voted to Sir
FILANN4 I).sysop.s, and to Sit Gr;O:ti.i.: ALDERSON,
•Sh.:Zie.S, for their impartial conduct. The assemb!y
was much more respectable than might be expected
at the hustings of a County Election. The new
Members were then chaired, but without any parti-
cular mark of diLtinction.

At the end of ittentfurd, next London, a large
party of boys and girls arrayed themselves on both
sides of the street, armed with large quantities bf
mud, and most plentifully bespattered all who wcre
the light blue riband (Mr. MELLISH'S badge) with
mud. Several Gentleman had their hats, coats, and!
faces much disfigured. The knowledge of this diffi-
cult pass having been communicated to those friends
of Mr. MELLISH who yet remained in Ilrentford, the
colours ware speedily changed, and many of them
were heard to cry out eagerly (in self-defence).—
" Idyng for ever !"

Tle: ;own of Cambridge was thrown into a state of I
considerable surpi ise on 'Wednesday evening. A stage
coach, covered vith a band of musicians, deLorated
with ribbands, and followed by a pcs:-chaise, contain-
ill& a solitary individual, was proceeding through
B:idge-strett, when a report era.: spread that the oc-
c _Taut was no other than that celebrated man
the Spy. The collected mob were about to unease
vie supposed miscreant, and take summary vengeance
for his crimes, when fortunately a Member of the
University boldly rushed into tli:: crowd, with the
laudable intention of rescuing the poor fellow from
his perilous situation.—Judge what were his feelings,
when, instead of Oliver the spy, he recd raised no less
a character than the late Vitt schclar of that Univer-
sity, who having been returned to serve in Parlia-
ment fur Borough Bridgt, was thus making a tri-
umphal entry into Cambridge. The mob being Ull-
deccivol, the Gentlentan was set down in safety at'
the gas/A.of Magdalen College.
