Mr. lloseoule came forward to address the Electors.

He Lomos.riced 1115 harelipe by informing them,
'ha, the coalition had not been so successful that day
as it had been the day before. Its majority the day
hero,/ was nearly 400, though, on the present day,
it did not amount to more than 145. He could easily
account for the Jefiriency in his rival's superiority
that day—the day before a public breakfast bad been
given at Devonshive.hoose to the friends of Mr.
Lamb. and that day no, such thing had as yet been
offered.—( Long end loud applause.)--At the same
time, it was reriuislts to observe, that the coalition
hid not rclaxed in their efforts to swore the votes
of the Electors. Pairs of Whigs end Tories were
a:;ros.l as before, end this* 'senores which at one
time were only used b' the Tories, were now awl
and adopted by the Whigs.--(ipplause.)—One

with a view to Intimidate, he would not say to
remade them, to vete in favour of the Hon. G.
Lamb, the Coalition Candidate. Iledid aot know what
precedent there was for either this canvass, or ibis
public breakfast, unless the precedent was to be
found in the public breakfast of thu last E.leetioo.—
(Cheers.)—ilf such scenes es he had described had
taken place in a small town, he was informed by Gen.
'lemon well skilled in the law, that they would be
called treating ; and for itis own part, be did not see
any reason why they should not be so called lire.—
At any rate, be was certain that, whether they con-
stituted what was technically 'called treating or not,
they **filmy shabby, they were mesa, they were
(very Whigg.sh, and, in a ward, they were nothing
more thee a continuance of that delusion and trickery
which bed been the sole basis of the popularity

were to be duped eat of their suffrages, by being
handed by Noble Lords into superb rooms ornament-
ed by pier glasses and Turkey carpet, For his own
part, he thought them superior to such artifices ; and
therefore he would soy, that if the Whigs went on
any longer in that style, the Electors would not cc.
cept their invitations. The lion. Gentleman then
contrasted the conduct of the Whig leaders with that
of the party who had been styled, as be said, by Mr.
Lamb's friends, the disgraceful junta of tradesmen,

'bat his opponent had told the Electors, that he (Mr.
iloblinese) was • retailer of stale joitoa, and bed

and then, when he exercised his wit, he was too jo.

Whigs than they bed of their worth.—(Ckeere.)---
Mr. Lamb had first told them that he was of the petty
of Sir S. Hominy, and thin !hat he came wittiest a
certificate signed by any party. As soon as the lib-
ger a. ity of two each adversedeciaratioi a wag tern, he
called himself a friend of the glorious Revolotion.—
The assumption of this title he (Mr. II.) asserted to
be es arrant a chest and delusion as ever proceeded '
from the ingenuity of bi'llituory. His Hen.opponeet
' not finding that title sufficiently attractive. christened
himself the Friend of Parliamentary Reform, and
then confessed he bad Cot studied the Bernegh Sys-
tem. When this confession became public, Mr. Lam'.
blame very angry at the very man oho had made it,
aid called him a spy and several other hard names.—
' He, on the contrary, was of opinion, that the spy er
barber (Mr. Lamb mi4ht use which of the terms be
chose) had been • very honest and °seal eases' on
this occasion; for be had shown the extent of the
lion. Candir;ate's Parliameitary Reform. Mr. H.
then proceeded to observe, that the Whigs had most
shamefully miseepresented his political principles—
they told that he was Hunting the elective suffrage,
vibes, in fact, be was for esteoding it. The Whigs
bad said, that they would mood the sight of sef-
free to householders only ; he would woad it far-
ther; would they J.' as OW h ?—He was for Annual

for *hair Candidate foamy a ward about Reform, es-
pickily as he bad said that he 'lid not andersteed the
Borough System. Every body saw that the Coen
was more seise than the Opposition lot resisting their

true to themselves end to rally round their own
cause, if they wished to presorts to themselves the
nemioation of their ono Representatives. The

be reduced to its ancient state of vassalage, and
should be divided end governed by the two (actions
who were rulers of the nation.—(llear!)
Mr. Robber'n then withdrew from the front of the
Hastings, amidst the loudest applause.
Mr. Lava afterwards came forward, amidst a te-
melt of disspprobatien which rendered him totally
inaudible to any one who was not in his immediate
neighbouibeed. lie told the multitude that he
wished to address them, and hoped they would have

hired to make a seise and create a disturbance; this
was es untrue as the former assertion. These things,
might be of smell impatience; but there was
one thing which was far otherwise: it was of die
highest importsace that the Electors of Westminster
should set consistently with themselves, and with
the nese ()Mihail,. Notwithstanding, therefore, the
companion of the Courier, and the rest of the venal
Press, at the no iu which the Electors were said
to have deserted him—not wit Amodio% that the Cou-
rier was eicessively shocked at his quotation from
Ralph the Historian, " that the Whig sod Tory faa

FRENCH PAPERS.

PARIS. Pas. It
CnAMBER OF OEPUTIEI. Ps,. li.

The Order of the Day called for the Report of the
Commission of Petitions.
__ .

M. Joists' Reporter, stated, that the Ministers
the iteforered Churches in lb. Departments of La
Dordogne and La Gironde, and seventy-one fathers
of Protestant families of Boardoesx, solicited Le-
gislative ateaseres calculated to place establishments
of public instruction in unison with the rights
guaranteed equally to all Frenchmen by the Char-
ter ' • and also prayed that Colleges more specially
destined to Reformists of both persuasions might be
'reeled in several of the principal towns, end par-
ticularly at Boordeays. The Petitioners slam", that
it was a sacred ditty in parents to watch over the ft.
Woos education of their children; that they could
not WM that duty in the Colleges as at present esta-
blished, (heir instruction being principally directed
by Roman Ecclesiastics. whose 'advance inspired jest
cense of alarm ; that their children are exposed to
the temptations which tend to shake the prieciples of
their faith, and to estrange the affection dee to their
parents; that, moreover, the most serious mischief
suight result from tech a classibriklion of different
perressioos, and prove injerioes to the faith of both,
and that it would be indispensible to separate the
mils. es his Majesty had deigned to ordain io the
rules for primary enamellers.
These Petitious, said Ilia Reporter, merit a seri-
ems examination. _

The Commission, therefore, proposed, that the Pe-
titions be referred to the Minister of the Interior.
M. Voice o'Ancemson said, that the Petitions of
the Protestants of Bourdeasa bad clams open the
atteotioo of the Chamber, inasmuch, as that with
very few exceptions, they concerned all the Prates-
tants of Preece: those who were inhabitants of the
,Depertesent be belooged to, had several times ad-
dressed to Mm several similar complsiora, which he had
deposited with the Cumusiuioa of Public Instrectioo.
The Honourable Member proposed, that the moat
efficacious means of proving the troth of those user-
lions would be, to form a Commission charged " to
thcertain the state of public instrectioo in France,
as counected with the liberty of religious worship."
He then submitted a long series of questions for Ilse
guidance of the Commission proposed to be formed,
in their enquiries verpecting the abuses complained of.
M. Duroxv (do l'E.re) warmly supported the re-
quest of tLe Petitioners. They are, ssid be, fathers
of families whose solicited. merits the earnest regard
of the Chamber. They claim the advantages of paa.
tic instruction, which is guaranteed them by the
Coestiletion, and which they are deprived of be-
cause all the (envious of Ibis important Institution
are eacluelveli, untitled to Homan Catholics. Ile
voted for the satiate being relined to the Miraister
of the Interior.

M. ROTIII,COLLAILD said, that the Statutes of the
Universities acknowledged the free exercise of reli-
gious worship. The Commission of Public Insirec•
lion, of which he bed the bonne► of being President,
enforced the elocution of the laws on this poi's, :
they bad received no complaints, and be would ven-
ture to affirm that eon had been addressed to the
