A nesreclaar;al and geneetklky well-written Pa.
per had an article, yesterday, against Sir FRANCIS
BURDETT, that we really did not think, at the
'time, worthy of any public comment; but as tha
leading idea of that production- is ,(roith little fe.
•licity of taste) copied into other papers, we shall
say a word or two respecting it. The paper we
allude to, is—Tlie Mites ; and it affects to bring
out a kind of secrct motive of 'Sir Fa4/sqls Bun..
DETTIA conduct, in retiring privately from 'the
Tower. Thu following, aro the words o"[-The

Times-:

though Sir FK.tscis Buil:tire did nut know that,
it is pretty good proof that there-existed nu
design of cramming Mr. ,fumes, 'ht the Old

9nc of common understanding that will not fillet

racier of the populace, taking its passi,oncat that
moment, panuot ' bear the supposition out; for
Sir Fa4scis was the idol of the day, and the
populace would , be naturally averse to 0f...
rate any object in competition with that • idol.
We have pipeuded more words than enough en this
whimsical supposition of The Times ; but almost
every thing becomes Winos when connected with
Sir F. BettorrTis name and conduct. The true
Faits es of REVOUX are in thesiteation we ascribe
to the Populace on Thursday—they can permit
nothing that approaches their Champion with dis.
respect or levity ; . and we advise The Time:,
which is jealous •of its hcinour. to he aware of
this.
