MIDDLESEX ELECTION.

Accurding to arrangements made between tie can-
didates and their friends, upon the preceding even-
ing, the Freeholders attended at the different places
to take their carriages as early as fix o'clock yeller-
day morning, and raft crowds of fpeaators lined
the way along Piccadilly and the road to Brentford.
Soon after feven o'clock Sir Fame c is let out for Brent-
ford in his carriage and tour, preceded by feven out.
riders, carrying large banners of blue (ilk, on which
were written, in letters of gold. Burdett aid bullpen
dews. The fervent' and the whole of his party wore
Mae cockades, with a marigold flower or orange co-
lour filk in the middle. Some of thefe were richly
fmusgled, and the wearers appea ed to vie with each
other in exhibiting the great& quantity of ribbon.—
Sir Playas and Parts Moots, Efq. went toge-
ther, and feven carriages followed, with voters and
friends. A band of rnufic in a caravan drawn by fix
inures, adorned with banners and blue and orange,
went frame time after, playing all the way. About
ten o'cloek, Mr. Matawaamo arrived in a chariot
and lix, with two poftillions in Cutlet livery, trim-
med with liver. Two out-riders preceded the caval-
cade, and ten carriages followed, occupied by Wit..
tun Maimweatsta. Efq. Alderman Sir WM. Cult-
'its, Mr. T*OlllTOll, Me. Mit.s.sse, Mr. I.l,Guiaa,
bfr. Bows's, and others, tete friends of the Candidate:
they wore flty blue favours in their hats, and were
received by the populace with violent hang and up-
roar. Sir Dumas was upon the hulling. Come time
before Mr. MAIIIWAILIIC. The Sheriffs waited
fome time for their arrival. At half pall tea, 1
proclamation was made by order of the Sheriffs, Mr.,
Alderman Stuw and Sir ROWT LtIGINTOII. The
preliminary bufittefs being gone through.
Mr. Moots (Member for the City of Coventry)
came forward, and addreffed a very numerous body
of Eledors in the following manner :
0 Upoft more occafions than one, I have had the
honour of imploring the attention of an affembly as
large and mfpedable as the prefent, in defence of the
rights of the County of Middlefm. The enquiry is
not who Bull be your Candidate, but whether the
honour of the County is to be furrendefed ; and thole
I now addrefs are to be degraded to the condition
of a corrupt and rotten Borough ? Whether. Gentle-
men, you are to be deprived of your dative Iran-
chile. and of your independence. by a combination
of loanmongers, corniadors, contradors, and weak
ingruments of a fordid political faaion ? I invite you,
then, Gentlemen, to refeue your own privilege frau 1
violation, and to referee the dignity and character
of the County from this nefarious combination.
'' As Coon as the former eledion was declared
void, advatifements were Med, indicating, that a
Candidate was to be bargained for, in the Conon of
the contrading intereft ; you will now fee, Gentle-
men, that this bargain has been concluded, the ob-
jce of the purchafe will be prefented before you, and,
you will kern that it is not my bare affertion, but
that this new infult has been added to the multiplied
offences which have already excited your refentment.
I call upon you, then. in the face of the whole coun-
try, as you would anfwer for your modal to the
Sontag Baum, to the People of England. and to
your own hearts, to come forward to prated the land
from this bolt of mercenary dependants. This is
the material point on which you have to determine,
and I mat you will, with one mind, with a long pull,
and a ftrong poll, and a pull altogether, alert your
own rights.
4 The neat confederation is, who is that Candidate
that than be competent to maintain your indepen-
discs. and to refeue the County from the difgrace
to which it has been espofed ?
4' The Honourable Batonet near me. has already
sited in the capacity of yoar Reprefentative: you are
not, therefore, on this facred occafion left to idle
conjefture i confidence is not required in my offer-
tions. or in his; you may judge of the future. by a
diligent examination of the pea ; and, if he has hi.
therto fulfilled his troll. mid has preferred his name
tunfullied, you have the bell foundation on which to
form your opinions of the main:de of his fobfequent
condua. The charader of the Honourable Baronet
is in Come degree known to you all, but, at this time,
it may be right that I &fluid explain what I have
found him to be. At the left eledion I had learcely
any perfonal acquaintance with him. and fuppotted
him purely on public principles; my knowledge of
him has Grace been more intimate, and I may now
be petmitted to (peak of him, both as a private in-
dividual, and as a public character. Whenever you
introit your political affairs into the hands of any
perfon, you ought to examine into the retired con-
duit of him on whom you place your reliance. as the
virtue and morals of a man in private, are the heft
tell of his integrity and patriotifm. What is the
Honourable Baronet ? I have difcovered him to be—
a moll excellent fon, a tender hulband, and affec-
tionate father • and preferring all the focial relations
of domeßic eft.. with perfea purity of manners.
Have thefe virtues been transferred to the oftenfible
Ration in which he was placed ? I have watched his
conduct with peculiar folicitude, and the refult of
any vigilance is, a firm conviction, that there is no
Member of the Houle of Parliament to which he be.
longed. who has aced with more credit to himfelf,
' or with more benefit to the community. Great pains
have been taken to derogate from the refped due to
the Honourable Baronet; but thefe have been wholly
ineffeaual, and I prefent him before you, Gentlemen,
pure as the (now of Heaven. Without the fmalleft
regard to truth, you have been told, that he would
not reach forth his arm to protect the Conftitution.
If I could believe this affeation, I would reject, I
would (corn him; I would call him from me as the
viper that would fling me to death. So far from
oppofing the Conftitution. he anxioufly wifhes that
every individual may enjoy its bleffings; and by ufing
the means to promote this, he expofes to you, and to
the world, the moll manly and generous attachment
to the Conftitution, and to the throne of there realms.
If he has a fault, it is an error in judgment. by en-
tertaining a hope, too fanguine. that thefe benefits
can be derived by every individual in the country,
however °Wore and indigent.
; g. If I had a voice, powerful as the thunder of the
Ikies, 1 would employ it to proclaim, in the ears of
thole who are endeavouring to derogate from the ho-
nour of my friend, the injutlice of their conduct and
the infult they offer, not only to this County, whole
affeltions they would conciliate, but to the natiog at
• ir,;,, of which that county is a dillinguidicd orna-

•
meta. I fpeak to you, Gentlemen, with warttith, but
I hope with hone[' enthufialm t while I am folicnous
to avoid giving offence to any, I am anxious to dif-
clofe ufeful truths. It is unneceffary to relate to you,
the fitisfaßion I feel in propofing my Honourable
Friend, and the flill greater liapponefs I derive from
the conviction of its fuccefs. On only one more
point I will detain you : it is in proof before the op-
ponents of the Honourable Baronet (I will not call
them enemies for fuch a man can have no enemies),
that he has employed his faculties, night and day, to
protect and to fupport the bell friends, and the ben
mterells of the country. You will, Gentlemen, find
his refpeCtable name among thofe of the higheft dif-
tinCtion, and of the moil exalted merit, who have
been anxious to eflablifh a ['tong and permanent Go-
vernment, to maintain the rights of the Conititution,
and the welfare of the nation. Truft them not, they
vainly endeavour to deceive you, when they tell you
that fuch a man has a particle of his nature inimical'
to the Bridal Conaitution. I will conclude with in-

_
treating you to relcue the charafter of the county,
violated by political profanation."
As loon as Mr. Moog' had ended with putting Sir
FRANCIS BURDITT in nomination, the prrpobtion
was feconded by Mr. KNIGHT. who obferved, that it
was not necelfary for him to take up the time of the
meeting, by attempting to add to what had been Co
ably urged by his worthy and Hon. Friend. This was
not a time for long fpeeches, he fhould therefore con-
tent himfelf, by limply feconding the motion, in or•
der that they might proceed, without delay, to afcer-
taM by the poll, what was the real fenfe of the Inde-
pendent Eleftors of the County of Middlefes —(Load
&vrfr of fiethlufi.)
Sir was. Corms then rote to propofe Mr. MAIN-
WALING, but the uproar became fo great, and the
interruption fo frequent, that the worthy Baronet
was unable then to obtain a hearing ;
On which Mr. Sheriff Straw addreffed himfelf to
the meetiof in a fhort and impreffive fpeeeh, and in
the following terms :—Gentlemen, you have been
limamoned here for the exercife of one of the molt im-

portant rights of freedom, to fix upon a proper per-
fon to reprefent the County of Middlefex in Parlia-
ment. I hope and troll that you will nen with the
fame attention that you paid to the friends of one of
the candidates, to whatever the friends on the other
may be difpofed to fay in his behalf. It is but juflice
to hear what may be laid on both fides, on an occa-
fion when you have to determine whom you ihould
think a propos perfon to reprefent you in Parliament.
(Mir cool end rational addrefs produced an roiling drelt
as doe frornoortneg populace.)
Sir W. Cuarts then proceeded:—Gentlemen, I
candidly fubfcribe to the juflice of the enumeration
of Sir. Faancts BURDItTet private charafter made
by the Honourable Gentleman who propoled him. I
revere them as much as any man. His domeftic cha-
ratter is not the point in queftion. I waft too that
you Gentlemen, will believe me, to refpea, to re-
vere, and to be as tenacious of your civil rights, and
conftitutional privileges, as any other man in the com-
munity. I have already declared my opinion of the
Honourable Baronet, and regret that my public duty
require that I mould oppofe him. In op riot
Gentlemen. I am happy to come forward and to in-
troduce to the Freeholders of Middlefex the fon of my
friend, Mr. G. B. Mainwaeoro. A young man not
yet known in public life. But, Gentlemen, I know
his worth, I know his talents, his virtues, and his
public fpirit. I know the feeds of public virtue to
have been carp implanted in his breaft, I know him
to have been timely reared and educated in found
watilitutiooal principles. I prefent to you a man
whore private and public charafter are pure and an.
(allied. Ido not propofe to you a wan who has ever
Paid that " Englifhmen had nothing to fight for." I
allude to the meeting, and requell the freeholders to
recollea that on a motion of mine, Sir FeaNcts was
preelndesi from attending the Sheriffs.acd Mr. Bran,
the other Member for Middlefex, with an Addre(s to
his Mayes-yr ; certainly. becaufe the Freeholders of
Middlefes did not then think him a fit and proper
perfon to appear before our beloved Sovereign. If
Sir Femmes was fo confidered at that time, which
suidoubtedly be was, can any one tell what he had
done fince to retrieve his charaaer.—He had not re-
trieved his charatter by dilqualifying the father of the
Hen. Gentleman of his right. merely becanfe he fuf-
fered Tome of the waft beef of Old England, with a
little brown flout to be prefented to his friend: from
home. No, he has not yet cleared up his charafter.
He has not yet anfwered the call on him at Hack
ney, and therefore I think myfelf junified in pro-
poling to you it the heft, by far the bell, of the two,
G. II MAINWAR INC, Efq. to reprefent this great
county in Parliament.
Colonel WOOD feconded this propofal in an able
and ananated fpeech. He confidered this as a con.
tea for a man whole father had long been a worthy
Reprefentative of the County, and with whole difpo-
fition and loyal principles the Freeholders might have
good grounds to be fatisfied. The County of Mid-,
dlefex, he contended, had for the IA two Seflions of
Parliament been moll Ihamefully mifreprefented. A
perfon had fat in the Houle of Commons as a Repre-
fentative of the County, whom a Committee of that
Houfe had afterwards declared to be in a minority
of votes. He had, however, fucceeded in depriving
him who had the majority of votes of his feat ; and
how did he deprive him of it ? Why, by proving that
a little ale and beef had been given to the Eleaors
who had often come from a conliderable dillance to
Poll. He meant not to blame any party or perfon
concerned in this affair, but certain it was that this
was the frit time he had heard that the proper exer.
cite of old Englifh hofpitality was a ground for dit-
qualifying a man for a feat in the Houle of Com-
mons. (Great affaufe.) He hoped that the Free-
holders, on this occafion, would furmount all
culties, and endure every inconvenience, in seder to
put an end to this coma, and to deliver the County
from thole diUutbances to which it had been fuhjeO
fince the Hon. Baronet had become a Candidate.
(roxidrroble applooli and clapping of handy). The Hon.
Baronet had reported that his Friend was min.:fled
with Governor Anis. No loch conflation had ever
been proved, nor was there the fmalleft ground► for
any fuel: ftippofitions. It was merely brought for-
ward by the Hon. Baronet to terve the purpole of
the moment ; but he trußed that the Freeholders of
Middlefex would thew that proper and loyal pima-
pies would have a greater effect upon them than any
artifice that could be cr,oti wed to millead them.
Eit Fa•NCIt BUIDITT role, and :poise to the fol.
loaing circa :

Gentlemen. T Oral' not commence this Elation as
the Honourable Gentleman o ho fpoke !aft has done,
by dirclaiming my former friends and connedioas.
I do not LlFchaim the friends who upon the late Elec-
tion honoured me with their fupport. I have no
reafon to do fo ; for it is with fatisfallion I find that
not one of rhofe who fupported me in a former in-
(lance, moiled the flighted dilpofition to defert me
upon the prefent occafion. How different is the
feeling of my adverfarres ; and I mull fay, Gentle-
men. that it is a little ungrateful in them to difavow
their friends in this Eiettion who gave them filch
attire fupport upon the former, and are willing to
afford it upon this alto; for I can Rate from my
own knowledge that Mr Anis has not remitted his
endeavours to promote the intereft of his patron. I
have croff.3l him in my canvading, and found that
he was eager to ferve the fon of his friend, Mr.
juflice MAINWARING. I do not blame Agra—though
I tax his friends with ingratitude ; for nothing can be
fu natural as that the jailer Aria fhould be anxious
to oblige the fon of his protedor ; but yet it appears'
to me a miapplication of the time of a man who is
employed to retain robbers, to engage himfelf in en
deavooring to retain voters to rob you of your in-
dependence. The worthy Alderman, as I mull,
through courtefey, call him, and his fupporter, has
talked a good deal about beef and ale ; diefe are
very good in their own way, but I null. my coun-
trymen, you have too much good (core to barter your
birth right for a melt of' pottage, (apyeufer). Gen.
denten, I mall not long trepals on your attention,
becaufe I am anxious that you mould come to the
poll, in order to pot an end to this conceit. which I
regard dirgraceful both to you and me, confidering
the charater of the oppofition we have to encounter.
—Gentlemen, as to the motives which induce me
to Rand forward on this occafion. I mall only fay,
that after the liberal fupport I had the honour to re-
ceive at the IA contelf, under the molt difadvan-
tageous circumftances to me—after a minute fend-
tiny. in the courfe of which no degree of partiality
WAS manifefted, at lead to me—after fo many voters
were left unfcrutinized, it appears that the majority
of my adverfary was but nominal, and that at bell,
his fituatioa was but equivocal—two thoufand nnex-
ceptionable voters being admitted on my fide, which is
a much greater number than ever before gained an
oledion for this county. Under thee circumftances,
Gentlemen, I feel that I Ihould be ungrateful for your
kindnefs, and (hould defers my own duty, if I were
to abandon the obje6 of this conteft ; and I alto feel
that I mould inlult your underftanding. and de-
grade myfelf, if I mould condercend to notice the
calumny and mifteprefentation which have been
peopogated repelling my condud, particularly when
I confider the quarter from whence they came. We
all know, Gentlemen, the grofs charges which have
been urged againft you by the appetite party tepee-
fag the late elation, not a tittle of which was prov-
ed. The only illegal thing, indeed, proved with
regard to either party at that elation W 2!,
_that
which produced the dirqualification of Mr. Mans
waaseo himfelf. You are all aware, Gentlemen.
that it is an illegal thing to boy voters—and I do
not know that it is left illegal to buy a candidate;
of this I am certain, that your independence is equal-
ly Bruck at it in both cafes. lam aware that a high
legal opinion has been promulgated on this point,
tsar lefs than that of the Attorney-General; but we
all know, Gentlemen, that the opinion of that
Learn d Gentleman is far froth being infallible—
Gentlemen, continued the Honourable Baronet,
I mall not detain you any longer from the great
harmers of the day, becaufe the delay of the poll
molt, from all appearances, be peculiarly diradvan-
capons to us, and I (hall referve any thing further
1 have to offer till the dole of the poll. (Peale 4
applasjit.) Sir Fe &acts Boggier-es fpeech was fol-
lowed by loud plaudits, and the Honourable Bart.
retired from the huftings.
Mr. MAINWAIING then advanced, but the noire
was fo loud that we cannot pretend to do his abler-
vations &id jullice. From what we could hear,
however, his llsecch famed in rubflance asfollows :
" Gswrgawea, I congratulate you, at the prefent
moment, that another opportunity has been afforded
of alerting the independanee of the county of Mid-
becaufe you have thereby a complete occafion
for declaring your real and unbiaffed fentiments, of
which you had been nearly deprived by the iffue of
the late elation. You have now an opportunity of
declaring whether you are to fandion, by your vote,
that monftrous misapplication of the right of repro-
renting you in Pat liament, which has taken place
for there two lad years. You have an opportunity
of (hewing whether you are to (million, by your vote
the means by which my opponent has been enabled
to obtain his feat in Parliament ; and whether you
approve of a man for your Repreentative, who has
fulfilled none of the pleJees which he gave you. At
the hada:lion he amufed you with promifes that he
would make the prifun gates fly open. Has he made
any attempts to this efcll ? has he inflituted an exa-
mination into the date of the prifons and the fituation
of the prifoners ? No ; not one ad of his has tended to
fulfil thee promitas. Now, when the comet' is renew- i
eJ, he will perhaps conic forward with the fame pro-
mires, and vilify my father as he ()fed to do. My
father's mild and inoffenfive dirpolition was fcareely
capable of bearing tip againit this monftrous confpi-
racy which was let up against him, and there perk-
cations he, therefore, in Come meafure (offered in
(ikon (Here the crowd grew very e!ansorens). I value
not the clamours of a mob. It is not to them I look
tor fupport. This contelt is not to be decided by cla-
moor, but by folid votes. If the County is not want-
ing to itrelf, I mall not defert it, whatever may be raid
of hie ; and although my father bite reproach fo pa-
tiently, I can effure the Honourable Baronet that he
11..11 not vilify me wi,h impunity. I mall Rand foot
to foot with the Honourable Baronet, and concert
every inch ..f ground wi h him. I allure the County
that I, at leak (hall nut shrink from any duty that it
may be incumbent on me to perform : I only entreat
the County not to fandion the hopes of a man who
has formed a confpiracy againd loyalty, and who is
the companion and eulogist of traitors !"
Mr. Sheriff So aw in vain again interfered ; the dir
turbance augmented ; and the attempt to (peak WAS
the fignal of riot.
The two candidates were then propofed by the
Sheriffs, when the mew cf hands was declared to be
in favour of Sir Fari•cis IttraoarT, on which a poll
was demanded i.n behalf of Mr. Maisu-mtiv,-, by
Sir WILLIAM Ctieris, which being recorded, was

• -
immediately acceded to. The quaßliestiem of IV.
Matewastroo was then required, which was teem`
dingly delivered in, and the amnion Of the proton".
Rated to be in the parnes of Edmonton and Enfield.
In confequence thefe caufes of delay, the poll di&
not commence until twelve o'clock.
At the beginning of the poll, the peace officers,
who were moil numeroufly affembled, were unable to
pi event riot, until Sheriff Sxaw, with becoming (pi-
nt, leaped over the barriers of the hulling; and flized
two of the rioters,whom he committed to cuflody.
In confequence, me degree of order was pieferned
while the poll went on till five o'clock, when the She-
riffs proceeded to enumerate the votes. Among the t
firti of the voters we noticed the venerable Dr. Peas
Mr. ERSKINE, and Mr. ft ADAIR. At near fix the
numbers were declared to Rand as follow

Soon after the Sheriff had announced the numbers,
which produced acclamations of appletde among the
people,
Sir Francis BITILDRTT (poke to the following poi-
port—Gentlemen I (ball detain you but for a few
moment', to exprefs the fatisfaaion I feel that my'
conduit has, alter a confiderable experience, been
found deferring of Inch marked approbation as your
poll of this day evinces. It is among the hanpielk ;
refleetions of my life that, at the time I Sri offered
myfelf Candidate for this County. I experienced the
highelt degree of affeaioa and regard, which could I
only refult from your attachment to the principles
which originally recommended me to your notice.—
To that prine;ple I Ilia adhere, and the fame line of .
public condua lam determined to partite. While .4
that continues unchanged, I cannot, from the evi-
dence you have afforded me of youe difpofitions en-
tertain any doubt of that countenance and Olive
(import which I have met upon every occafion hi-
therto. Of the motive which induces no Is Sim&
forward as a Candidate in this inflance, yes cannot
be unaware. You mutt feel that it cannot proceed
from any motive merely perfonal--that a feat in
Parliament cannot be the objea of my ambition, for,
under the prefent circuusßances of the Honk of Com. •
mons. I could for much lefs exertion than it has colt
me in the profecution of this conteß obtain tea feata .
in that affembly for my family for ever (Ler% cis tirsel
etul the wird:, We ism it r Ws Mm

dered a mere conceit between two candidates: bur.,
whether a combination of interefted diftillers,
cans and brewers—of magiftrates and contractors
(ball have the nomination of a reprefentative fur this •
comity. This is the evil I with to remove; and
when I confider that the perfons I allude to, and
others of the fame defeription, are fo much under the
influence of the Minifter, or fo completely in the
paws of the Magifirates. that they dare not 'semi&
their own will (filiplerfer)—lt is with a view to raife
the country, or this county at Leaß, to independence,
that I encounter fo much trouble ; and I fitall think
this trouble more than repaid if I (=teed in my ob.
jeB. Although I have thus alluded to the perinea •
who oppnfe me, I would not be underflood to enter-
tain towards them the leaf! enmity I for, as the CO6.
trary. I feel for them, confident% their fituaticin,
the utmott furrow and compaffion (Whores) Gen-
tlemen mutt be fenfible that every effort is ne-
edify to Were our fpeedy fuccefs, and that no-
thing now remains to be done, but to attend at the
huflings tomorrow in Inch numbers, as (ball first to
extinguifh all hope in our opponent of ever altering
the iffue. With this recommendation, which I with
you particularly to bear in mind. I conclude, re-
turning you my molt fintere thanks for the (import you
have afforded me.—Loud peals of applaufe followed
this fpeech.
Sir F. BURDITT immediately retired from the
huftings, and—
Mr. Mim.t.tsy shortly addreffed the meeting, and
obferved, that notwithflanding the temporary ant
trifling fimeriority of the Hon. Baronet, be had as
hefitatinn in pledgin3 himfelf that he would ultimate.
ly tole the Eleai'n.
Mr. Ma IN weatan then Rood forward. and with
much difficulty, obtained a partial bearing. He tilt,
from the event of that day's poll, aconfident hope of
a favourable refult before it Orould finally cloth. He
expelled that to-morrow would deprive his Opponent
of his boafled majority, for he knew the great exer-
tions which had been made by his Opponent and all
his party. to make out a majority on the firli day's
Poll. He knew— (The crowd which were before
the Hutting% Mad. loch a violent clamour during the
whole time that Mr. MAIIIWAILING addreffed them,
that it was impoflible for him to make bimfelf heard.
lie, therefore, retired from the Hollings, after de-
claring that it was upon found votes, and not upon
the clamour of a mob that he relied his hopes of
fuccek.
The lion was then adjourned till ten o'clock this

day.
The Candidates then withdrew fr .m the Hulling;
and the immenfeconcourfe of people began to (cotter
in every diroftioa. We cannot conclude our report
of this aril day's proceedings of this intereftingiso-
pular lilalion, without bearing %alimony to the
thin impartiality with which the bufinefs was con-
dii&ed by the Sheriffs, and to the laudable exer-
tions of the Peace Officers. The booths were
kept during the whole of the day free from any in-
commodious meltitnde by the inflexible perfeve-
rance of the prefiding officers, in a judicious de•
termination ant :n admit any one without a ticket,
and to iffue only a limited number. The Can-
didates withdrew from the Huflings. The people
took the horfes horn the chariot of Sir harms
and dtew it from Brentford to his houfe in Picca-
dilly. It was precedei the whole of the way by a
band of mulic with his CAM'S flying, sad followed
by nearly a thoofand vehicles of different defcriptionas
Scarce a ',intik was free ou either fide of the way,

The arrangements for the Hollings are better dna
on the former occation.
