THE STATESMAN

have you any more to give, Sir? (A person in the
crowd, " Here's a button for you, you are worth no more.")—
Gentlemen, so long as the noble spirit which Lincoln has ma-
nifested on this occasion exists, so long will I stand forward to
animate, to invigorate, and to direct that spirit, and render it
so far as in my power eft-ctive. No threats, no ridicule, no
derision shall daunt or stay me. I know I have an honest
cause to support, and therefore I look only to the mans of
achieving its success. My principal object is. if possible. to
reduce the enormous, the disgraceful expensesattending county
elections. I think it disgraceful to see freeholders—English-
men, come into town and inquire " Where can I get a ticket ?
Where can I get *cockade or a ribbon 1" To which the an.
swer was, " Go to the Black Boy. and you will get them."—
The five hundred and seventeen who voted fur hie J. Thorold
paid their own expenses, while the $6l on the other side were
in the situation I have just described. For myself, I would
rather see Sir W. Ingilby receive 400 additional votes from
men who paid their their own expenses, than one single vote
at his own expense,--A propos of the Black Boy Inn, I
believe the landlord kicked out Sir William's voters last night
[A person in the crowd, " And the Black Horse too I nor
would the "Black Horse" be rode by them. I hope Sir W.
Ingilby will become a little more liberal, and not allow the
respectable Freeholders of Lincolnshire to be treated with
such indignity.
'l'he crowd then left the Castle Yard. The band of the
"Light Blues" halted before the Spread Eagle Inn, play-
ing " Scots wha ha' wi' Wallace bled." Crowds of disor-
derly boys and other loose characters continued to parade
the streets crying " Ingilby," or " Thorold." as their fan-
cies directed them. A pickpocket having been detected in
the act of following his vocation, was taken to the public
pump, and soundly ducked as well as pumped upon.
We have just learned the following particulars with
respect to Mr. Wells :—lt was in the course of this evening
intimated to Mr. Wells, that many Noblemen and Gentle.
men of the first rank and character in the County, who
were anxiona to support Sir J. Thorold, were prevented
from coming forward from a disinclination to have even
the appearance of acting under Mr. Wells. After dinner at
the ordinary, Mr. Wells publicly stated the above tact, and
added, that however anxious he was to support the great
cause, he should be sorry to allow any personal feeling of
his interfere with its success. They all entertained the
same anxious desire to achieve the independence of the
County, and provided that great object could be attained,
lie cared tint by what means. He concluded by expressing
his intention of at once withdrawing himself altogether from
the contest, expressing a hope that in the event of its failure
that failure might not be attributed to his pertinacity.

BAYONNE INTELLIGENCE,

&voxNe, Nov. 20.—The accounts from Estremadura
says that the Etupecinado is still in arms, and that he will
not listen to ar.y terms ; he is at present with a respectable
force at Alcantara, and has had an action in the environs
with Morales, who is reperte,l to have stuttered some loss.
It is impossible to reestablish things as they were before
the year 1820, in all this part of Spain. The Asturias are
not tranquil, and new parties are formed, which it is feared
way unite in arms. Since the arrival of the King nothing
has been published respecting his intentions, so that all
those who have taken any part, directly or indirectly, is
the revolution, are iu a state of alarm, especially when they
see the arrests con►inue. However the fetes to celebrate
the return of the King proceed without interruption ; the
houses ate decorated with hangings, and illuminated
at night. There is a concert every evening at the Town
Hall. The King's portrait, which the Ultras have placed
at their minor, is saluted with cries of " The Absolute King
for ever ! The Inquisition for ever!" and even " Louis
XVIII. for ever! (in the 16th was a grand Court day; the
Ambassadors, the Officers of the Staff of the French troops,
and nanny Bishops and Priests, were present.

in short, that he who has placed his property io foreign,
countries, be not exempt from the burdens imposed on the
majority of his fellow citizens.

FRENCH PAPERS.
Among the official articles io the Monitevr of the 26th
instant, is a long report by M. de Chateaubriand, on the
pensions to be granted to Foreign agents and officers of
the department of Foreign Affairs, for which, as it can have
little interest out of France, we cannot spare room.

NON OPPICTAI. PART.
•
The Gazette of Harnburgh has just published an article,
the contents of which have attracted the attention of the
public. It is conceived as follows:
" People have read with astonishment in some papers,
under the head of Stockholm, that a plan was in contem-
pletion for the reimbursement of the private property of
Gustavus Adolphus, formerly King of Sweden, and of his
Usmily. This neus having been represented in a false
lied, we rosy expert to see it rectified in due time."
