TO SIR FRANCIS BURDETT.

" Geoecerett Loner, JCNI 7, 1821.
Sta—ln a letter bearing your signature, and purporting to
have been addressed by you to the Chairman of a dinner of Par-
liamentary Reformers on the 4th of April, which was published
in several of the Newspapers of the following day, a liberty is
taken with my name, as little justifiable (in my judgment by
differences of political opinion, as it is reconcileable with the
Ordinary courtesies of private life.
" The obvious meaning of that passage in your letter of which
I complain is, to impute to me that, in upholding the present
system of Ilepresentation in the House of Commons, I am ac-
tuated by the corrupt and dishonourable motive of a personal
p Tuniary interest.
" It cannot be matter of surprise to you, that I should feel
myself under the necessity of requiring at your hands a dis-
avowal of the imputation which that passage appears to convey.
ffresiikl you be unable, or unwilling, to afford me a satisfactery
explanation upon this point, I have then to demand of you the
only other reparation which an injury of such a nature admits.
" It can hardly be necessary to state to you, Sir, the reason
why this demand has not been sooner made; but I owe it to
myself to preclude the possibility of any doubt or misrepresen-
tation, as to the causes of that delay. The first and natural im-
pulse of my own feelings was to address myself to you the in-
stant that I bad read your letter in the Newspapers.
`, But it was represented to me by the friend whom I re-
quested to take charge of my letter, that your then situation
rendered it impassible for you to accept the second of the alterna-
tives proposed to you (a circumstance which, I must be per-
mitted to observe, considerably aggravated the offence offered
to me); that the utmost which I could obtain front you was an
engagement to afford me satisfaction, so soon as the term of your
conlinement should have expired ; that the interval must be full
• hazard as to setresy ; that without in any degree impeaching
either your honour, or that of any Gentleman whom you might
select, the mere fact (which could hardly be concealed) of a com-
munication between me, or any triend of mine, and the King's
Batch, could not fail to excite suspicion ; and that such suspicion
would necessarily be strengthened by my prolonging my stay in
England, till the middle of Nay, after having repeatedly and
publicly announced my intention of waiting only fur Mr. Lamb-
tir.esmotion of the 17th of April.
. .

" Yielding, for the time (and I know not how I could have
done otherwise), to the force of these repesentations, it remained
fur me only to keep my own counsel, and to quicken, as much
as possible, my return from the Continent.
" I arrived here yesterday evening. My first business on my
arrival has been to communicate with Lord W. Dentiock, who
his the goodness to undertake to deliver this letter to you, and
to settle' on my beh,lf, all necessary arrangements on the mat.
ter to which it relates. I assure you, upon my honour, that
Lord W. Bentinrk is the only person who has any knowledge of
this letter, or of my purpose to write it.
" I have the honour to be, Sir, your most obedient servant,
(Signed) " GEO. CANNING."

TO THE RIGHT HON. GEORGE CANNING.

" ST. JAMES'S-MACE, Juss 8, 1821.

l 6 Stn—l am not aware of having made any unjustifiable anu-
s; in to you, or of having said of you in my letter to the Chair-
man of the Reform Meeting, more than all political men, who
benefit from the system which they advocate, are fairly and ne-
cessarily subject to.
1, The letter in question is now before me ; and I am at a loss
fora form of words in which .1 could have more guardedly
marked the disqualification under which I conceive yourself and
others to be from giving authority to your opinions on Parlia-
mentary Reform, and at the same time have avoided making
any allusion whate►er to personal character.
16 Not having intended, and not having made (as I read the
letter) any such allusion at the time, I cannot nosy hesitate, in
a more particular manner, to disclaim having ever had such
an intention. _ _

TO SIR FRANCIS BURDETT.

" GLOUCESTER LOOGE, Joss 9, 1823.

" Sit —Lord William Dentin& has just delivered to me the
answer, which you have transmitted to his Lordship, through
Mr.Kinnaird, to the letter which I addressed to you on Thursday.
" Lord William Bentinck's opinion (with which my own feel-
ings entirely coincide) satisfies me that I can have no other re-
ply to make to your letter, than to express my acknowledgment
for the frankness and promptitude with which you have dis-
claimed any intention of personal offence.
I have the honour to be, Sir, your most obedient servant,
(Signed) " GEORGE CANNING."

To the above correspondence we think it desirable to add the
particular passage in the lion. Baronet's letter, respecting which
Mr. Canning thought it necessary to call for some explanation.
The letter was addressed to a company of lieformers, who met
at the City of London Tavern, in April last, the Lord Mayor
in the Chair. The following is the sentence:

" Gentlemen, that Mr. Canning—l mention him as the
champion of the party—a part of the whole—should defend, to
the uttermost, a system, by the hoems pocus tricks of which he
and his family get so much public money, can cause neither me,
nos any man, surprise or anger—
" For, 'tis their duty, 211 the learned think,
4* To espouse that cause by which they eat and drink !"
