Mr. 111.111 RY seconded Mr. Palgrave.

declared dilly elected.--( Lad cheers.)

of pride In a man's breast, it most beat a moment like
I the present, when placed in such a situation. I have
long looked forward to the hope of inch a distinc-
tinn, and long aspired to so enviable a situation—a
gift made more than doubly gratifying, and myself
more than doubly grateful, by the manner in which
it has been given.—(Nuck cheering )—Te be admen
one of your Representatives is an honour which can.
not he ascribed to my own services, bet to your af-
fection for those branches of my family whose
brightest glory it has ever been to defend the rights
of the People and the Constitution of the country.—
Yoe, all of you, heard at a former time my political
sentiments, and are aware that 1 do meet cordially
disagree with the present Ministry, in ivory point of
view. I consider it as utterly impossible for a
nation to prosper, if conducted in such a manner
as the present Ministry are now carrying on
the Government ; and it is highly incumbent upon
Gs to transmit to our posterity the Constitsilos
in the same parity we received it from 00000 craters.
In my opinion, Gentlemen, • radical Reform is else
of the first requisites necessary for the welfare sod
prosperity of this kingdom. Useless Places and Pen.
*ions should be entirely put an end to, and Economy
and Retrenchment ought to be the principal objects of
the Administration. Some persons may think it
greatly presumptuous in me to find fault with the
measures of Ministers, and may quote my age and
inexperience in these affairs ■s a proof of my pre.
somption ; but, Gentlemen, I feel confident in my
essettions, suppert►d as 1 am by glorious proofs of
the feelings of the People of England. The great in.
crease of Independent Members teemed to serve in
the new Paillasses., bears me up In my assertion,
and shows that the People are growls jealous
of their rights sod privileges. I new retaro you my
grateful thanks for the h you have done me,
and so long as I continue to guide my conduct by
those principles which I profess, so long shall I dire
to submit myself, wit►out apprehensino, to your
judgment and choice. Mr. Anso• returned thanks
to the Mayor for the civility shown him, and cost-
eluded by thanking the Premises : the boomer they
bad that day done him would never be effaced from
his memory.—( MIKA cheering.)
Mr. N. PA 1.111111 said, this was a proud day
for the Freemen of Yarmouth, because It pee

Retina of his saw among the glorious Minority
on the Bank Restriction Bill. Thera are those, said
Mr. Palmer, who think that yea are not able to en.
derstand these affairs ; they consider it a question toe
difficult for the minds of poor men to compreheod.—
We all know that it is a paper curreeey which has
enabled the Ministry to carry through this long and
ezpensive war, and has brought the National Debt to
the amount at which it stands, and they are new
sweating year bevrte-blood is order to enable them
to pay it off. Economy and Retrenchment mast be
the order of the day ; and it is of vital importance for
the nation to have an effective Reform: bet both these
necessaries are impracticable, valise the Rotten Bo-
rough System is entirely done away.
Mr. Anson immediately entered the chair under
the church trees, and, accompusied by ►is friends
bearing banners, and displaying the maul tokens of
joy, was carried through the town.

published in Englund, by one Poston, I had written
pert of the following article, and bud prepared to
send it hotness part of • Register, of which I seed
one every week. Your Paper enabled we to sake
an addition to the article; and, es the weeds below,
I have sent the whale ("Ito be published in Leedom.
If you think it worth Inserting, I beg you to have
the goodness to give It • place; and I beg the same
favour et the hands of all these Editors who say
Move published Foam's account of what he calls his
Dail in me.

" I am, Sir, ',oar most obedient end most humble
infitli,
" WM. COBBETT."

Thera is, I am told, one Fuson, irks hasps,
home and written sad published a book, abasing ads
country audits Park in ike g t issaaner. I only
hear of it by letter. I hear also that he speaks of
me as if he knew me. I will tell yea how far be
knew me: I live at a country-house twenty miles
from New York. One morning in the auamerlof
1817. a young man cams lota tho hell, and in-
trodurod himself to mu under the name of Fee-
ron. The following I find about him in my Jour-
nal :—" A Mr. l.uron came this morning sod had
breakfast with as.—Told es en 01,1 story about
his being an envoy from a host of families In
London, to look oaf. for a place of settlement in
America—but he took optcial OMR not (0 name soy
anon( those families, though we asked him to do it.
We took him, at first, fora sort of spy William
thinks he is a shopkeeper's clerk ; I think he has
been a tailor. I observed that be carried his ethos,
close to his sides, and his arms, below the elbow in a
horizontal positiou. It raw. out that he hail been
with Burman, Castlereagh's Consul at Now York;
bat it is ton ridiculous—such a thing as this cannot

be a spy—ho can get access no where bet to taverns
and boarding.hoeses."
The note now steads In my Journal or Diary ttd
August 1817. I remember that he asked some very
silly questions about the prices of land, cattle end
other things, which I answered very shortly. Be
asked my advice about the families emigrifting, and
the very words I uttered In answer, were these:—
" Every thing I can say, in such a case, is to die.
courage the enterprise. If Englishmen come here,
let them come individually, sod sit down amongst the
natives ; no other plan is rational."
What I have heard of this man since, is, that he
spent his time, or great pert of it, in New York.
among the idle and dissolute young Englishman,
whose laziness and estravapare had pet them in a
stets on make them lousy, and to wake them unno-
ticed by respectable people. That country must be
bad, to be sure, whleh could not give them ease and
abandons, without labour or earterravy.
Now, what can sash a man know of Auverieel—
Ho has not kept house; he has had so being in any
egiiisbeerbeed ; be has never had say circle of ac.
getaiataiscee sweeps the People ; be has beam
a guest Geier say of their roofs ; he knows nothing
of their manners or their characters ; and hew can
well a man be a josigre of the elects of their instils-
doss, civil, political, or religiose
I have no doubt, however, that the Reviews and
Newspapers, in the pay of the Borooghesongers will
do their beet to propagate the falsehoods contained in
this man's book. Bet what would you say of the
People of America. if they were to elect to believe
what the French General said of the People of En-
gland f This man, in a book which he published
in France said, that all the English married women
got drersiland mere like troopers ; and that all the
yoong women were strumpets, and that the greater
pert of thew had bastard, before they were married.
Now, if the People Americo were to street to believe
this, what would we say of those ? Yet, this is just
es true as this Fearoe's accooot of the People of
America.

As to the facts of this wian's vigil to we, my soo
William, who is, by this tine, in Land/bait:snood will
Tench for their truth at any time, and if necessary,
to Faeroe's face, if loam has• face which he dares
show.

Since writing the above, the New York Papers
have brought me a specimen of Mr. Fearon's per-
formance. I shall easy notice his account of his
gide to me. It is in the following words:—
" A VISIT co Ma. Coascrv.—Upon arriving at
Mr. Cobbett's gate, my feelings, in walking along
the path which led to the residence of this celebrated
men, are difficult to describe. The idea of a perms,
imlf-honialsed, leading an isolated life in a foreign
path rarely trod, fences its restos, the tees
&skew, e house mouldering to decay, added to much
awkwardeess ow my part, calling opon as entire
stranger, produced in my mind feelings of thought-
'alma and owialiehely. I would fain almost have
returned without entering the weeien twansino,
imagining that its possessor would eaclaies, Mast
