The Election of Sir FRANCTS BURDETT having
been communicated to him by a Letter from Mi.
Ettootts,- Sfr FnANcts has Tcturned the following
Answer :

" Sue—The kind and friendly manner in which yuq have
made known to me the result of the Westni.ast,r curtest,
though it cannot enhance its value, heightens its gratification.
" An event so honourable to the Electors of NVeeanin.ter
and myself, must be equally gratifying to both.
" 'lite only adequate• return you or they can have for the
sacrifices made on the altar of patriotism, and I ant not Ignorant
of the eztent to othich they have been carried in many indivi-
dual cases, is the proud consciousness of having performed them.
offer hacknfed thanks upon such an occasion would be
puerile ; but mutual congratulation is both natural and just ;
allow me then, Sir, through you, to congratulate them and the
whole country on this signal triumph of the spirit of English
ll'uerry, the authinser, I trust, of more liberal principles of go-
vsco:rent, of happier days, and of recovered rights.
" The divisions amongst the friends of Reform, which cast a
rtemporary obscurity over the independence, patriotism, and
virtue of Westminster, have only afforded an opportunity of
their bursting forth with additional lustre, striking with amaze-
niunt the harpies of corruption sad the tools of power, defeating
and paralyzing their united efforts.
" As I shall so soon have an opportunity of expressing my opi-
nions fully on the subject, when I meet my fellow Citizens to
consummate and celebrate the glorious event, I will not e I.lrLe
upon it at present, but will content myself with observing that
the Citizens of Westminster have added another RA to that in-
dissoluble chain which binds us together in the great struggle rut
Ilhigfuh freedom. Ifave the goodness to communicate my sen-
timenu to my fellow citizens, and to assure them of the pride
and satisfaction with whiclZl subscribe myself their and your
Most obedient bumble Servant,

Sir MURRAT MAXWELL has addressed the follow-
ing Circular to the Electors:
" GvertEscrx—The close of the Pell, ahhough for the present
disappoit,t3 the sanguir.e hope I had indulged, confirms and
Saes fur ever in my miLd the sentiments of respect and regard
wbi:h I have always entertained for the real and Independent
Electors of the liriash E- spire. That a numerieal majority
should hive been ohtained against me creates no surprise, but
that 4,E03 respectable Householders, unswayed by declamation,
unpolluted by fiction, and unawed by injuries menaced, and
violence perpetrated, should have appeared at the Hustings in
my favour, excites In me the warmer feelings of grititude.—
' In whatever capacity I may, hereafter, be called upon to
serve you, whether as your Representative in the Senate, or on
the eigistent to which I have been accustomed, I shall be always
anxious to chew my zealous regard for the liberties, the laws,
and the Constitution of my country, and my gratitude fur the
support which, as the strenuous friend of them, I have had the'
honour to receive from you. I have the honour to be, doe.
