WESTMINSTER ELECTION.
At ten o'clock yesterday moraing the
election commenced. By 8 o'clock in the
morning Covin Garxftn Was-more crowded
¦than ever we saw it upon a similar occasion.
At ten o'clock Mr. Graham appeared upon
the Hustings, for the purpose of nominating
Mr. Sheridan. Mr. Glossop came next to
nominate Sir Francies Burdett. Lord Coch-
rane made his appearance a little after ten,
and was received with very great applause.
Mr. Gibbons, the friend of Mr. Paull, ap-
peared to put that gentleman in nomination ;
and col. Elliott presented himself, accompa-
nied by a considerable number of friends.
After the proclamation and act of parlia-
ment had been read by the high bailiff, Mr.
Craham come in front of the Hustings, and
expatiated at some length on the trancendent
abilities, the tried patriotism, the long ser-
vices rendered to the cause of freedom by
Mr.vSheridan, and concluded by nominating
him as the most fit person to represent this
great city in parliament. This speech was
received with applause.
Mr. Glossop then offered himself to the
notice of the populace, and bestowed the
warmest panegyric upon sir Francis Burdett,
whose disinterestedness, Zeal for the public
cause, and attachment to the people's rights,
eould only be equalled by his determined
hospitality to the corrupters and the corrupt-
ed, to peculation, and to those by whom
peculators were protected. He concluded
by declaring his firm conviction that Sir
Francis Burdett was the most fit person to
represent the city in parliament. (Loud ap-
plauses amongst the /lo/iulace.)
Lord Cochrane was then put in nominati-
on by Mr. Willock, whose speech we could
not hear from the noise and tumult.
Lord Cochrane then came forward.
His Lordship jumped out from the Hust-
ings, and standing forward upon the narrow
wooden bar, which separates the consta-
bles from the populace, addressed them in
the following terms : " Gentlemen, all I
want is a fair hearing. (Loud applauses.)
I don't want you to buy a pig in, a poke
(here the loud laughing and hassssas of the
populace interrupted him for a few minutes.)
If you don't like me when you hare heard
me, why then reject me at once. Gentle-
men, had I not been convinced that you
were independent men, I would not have ihe
impudence to offer myself before you. Gen-
tlemen,|I stand upon the footingof perfect inde-
pendenee,unconnected with any person what-
ever. Gentlemen, I'll tell you w hat I mean by
the word independence—No man can be inde-
pendent who is brought forward by any par-
ty, to vote for or against any particular set
of men, without reference to measures. I
say measures and not men ought to be sup-
ported. Gentlemen, I am no puppet set up
to dance before you by the lords of the trea-
sury, as you too often have seen — (Loud
Huzzas.) I am the friend of my country
and its constitution. I am not even person-
ally acquainted with a single one of his ma-
jesty's present ministers, and I only know a
very few of the late administration. You
have been told, gentlemen, that a naval man
is. an improper candidate, but did they
know any thing about the service who told
you so ? They should have told you of other
persons who are unfit for being members of
parliament, as well as naval officers. Is a
puppy who delights to drive his curricle and
horses over the necks of people, a fit Candi-
date to represent you in parliament ? — (A
cry of no breivers—No dancing puppies— No
men that •won't fight.) Gentlemen, is a fel-
low a proper candidate to represent you,
who squares his mouth to tickle the ears of
his horse ; a fellow, who, with the brains
of an ass, delights to flourish the guts of a
beast round the head of a brute in order to
please the ladies in Bond-street ? (Loud
laughter and huzza!.) Is such a creature
fit to be a legislator, gentlemen ? No ! I'll
be d------d if he is [-—(Loud cheers.) Now,
gentlemen, I'll tell you what my preten-
sions are ; and as it rains very hard, I will
not detain you long, although I could speak
two hours ; and I think you begin to like to
hear me.—(Loud applauses.) Gentlemen, I
am not entitled to speak of my services my-
self, but I mean to pledge my past conduct
and character as a security for the perform-
ance of my promises. Gentlemen, I am an
enemy to plunder, peculation, corruption
and oppression, wherever it is to be found.
I have been a long time kept at a distance
from the seat of government, in the service
my country ; and I did not knotv the scenes
of corruption that were going on^at home;
but I am acquainted from history with what
the constitution was, in times of purity, and
I shall do my endeavors to restore it to that
enviable sta;e. Gentlemen, I know that
plunder and terrible abuies prevail in every
department, and it is not in .the power of
members of parliament, who have left the
service for many years, to know practically,
as I do, the abuses in the naval department,
of late years. Gentlemen, it is the same in
military service as it is at home. When an.
honest man is put at the head, of aff.iirs, all
goes on smoothly and fairly ; but when a
new commander in chief is appointed, of a
different character, every tiling fails back in-
to its old state of plunder and corruption.
One day there is oppression and tyranny
exercised, and the next day quite a contrary
system is adopted. I have now a few words
to say about members of parliament. Gen-
tlemen, you have heard much about reforma-
tion in parliament,- but I'll tell yon what
will knock that business on the head at once.
I am an enemy to all sinecure placemen and
pensioners, and I wish that the bribery and
corruption oath, which is administered to
the candidates at an election, was also ad.
ministered to every member of parliament
befoie he was allowed to vote on any ques-
tion. Do you think, gentlemen, that any
member of the house of commons would per-
jure himself, and vote with the minister, to
obtain a dirty pension ? (A tend cry of All !
all ! alt ! from the electors of Westminster.)
That may be, gentlemen ; but I declare,
upon my honor, and I take God to witness,
that I am not one of that kind, and that
I will be the first, if I am returned to
parliament, to point cut and hold up to
the public, the man whom I suspect to
he thus perjured_____(Loud Huzzas.)------
—Now, Gentlemen, as a great
The ^overnoi: desired, tjje sheriff to take hif
word, if the jur"'';econH itpt.be Pound. ?6'if
the judge at id was baifed until 11- o'clock-
When he ap.i ared, the judge had before hi fi
a number o!' printed interrogatories'. The
witness asked the liberty .of reading them.
!.Ie permitted him totio so. The judge ask-
ed if he would an-wer ; the witness refUsed
until he had counsel.. He afterwards spoke
to a Mr, Car, who informed.tile witness, L-.at
the judge had no right to demand such an-
swers. The judge still persisted to interro-
gate, some of which interrogations the wit-
ness answered. The witness then related
every thing that passed until his arrival at
New-Orleans. Mr. Fort was then sent for
to judge Hall's, and interrogated, after which
the judge gave the deputy marshal a note,
who took Fort and the witness and placed
them in a jail among negroes. Fort was
bailed, the witness remained in jail until the
vessel was ready in which he embark', d. He
requested at his departure to get his clothes.
Dunbaugh came to the jail for him with
some men having side arms ; the witness
asked if they were a guard ; answered no ;
but has since been told by Dunbaugh they
were a guard. They went with Dunbaugh
and himsejf to the water edge. Witness
asked whether lieut. Gaines was on board ;
said no, but would soon be. WheuDunbaugh
came to the jail he had an order, which was
handed to the jailors. While in jail, witness
wrote.to Lindsley and Dr. Moithill (o come
and see him ; was informed by the jailor
they would be conShed ; he did not send
the note. Did not see Gaines till next day
Gaines told him he (the witness) was in bad
humor, and he had better be satisfied. W it-
ness asked Gainess for leave to go on shore
for his clothes ; he did jiot give him leave,
said it was not in his power to grant the re
ouest, but in the power of gen. Wilkinson.
The witness was not permitted to get iiis
clothes. Lindsley brought hiin one of his
shirts, which he lent lieut. Gaines, after the
witness told him he might put him in irons
and bring him round m that manner, of-
fered him forty dollars. Witness said,
if he would let him go on shore, he did
not want it, otherwise he must take it.—
Paid it, and sent twenty dollars by Governor
Claiborne to his landlord.. When, come to
anchor at Hampton, Gaines asked if lie
had any objection to come to Richmond.
Witness said he never had any objection
Gaines said to witness, he was sent by au-
thority to Judge Hall. General Wilkinson
at Hampton spoke to witness, and asked him
if he had any objection to come to Rich-
mond. Told witness he had not heard of
his not being permitted to bring his clothes
until that morning. Gen. Wilkinson agreed
he was ill used, and told him he must under
stand he was brought round by order of
Judge Hall. Gen. Wilkinson proposed te
let the witness go to Richmond jpoi> rns
own parole of honor, which was refused.
Gen. Wilkinson said if witness wanted 20
dollars he sh.ould.haw) it. Afterwards said
if he wanted f>0 dollars he might have it, if
witness wanted money to purchase clothes.
Witness took the money, observing in the
first conversation that he had twice asked
favors of him and Gaines, and would never
ask another fivor of any person. Witness
came to Richmond by water. Moseley told
him he had orders from General Wilkinson
to take charge of the passengers on board
the Revenge and bring them to Richmond,
and there wait Wilkinson's orders.
Witness, when cross examined by Mr.
Wirt, said he was born in Hager's Town,
Maryland—removed to Pennsylvania w'ien
small— has resided in that state ever since
until the 24th or 99th of November last,
when he set put for New-Orleans. Went
down the Ohio, From Meadsville he went
down the Allegany, then the Beaver, from
thence down the Ohio ; stopped at Blanner-
basset's island with about SO or 30 men,
staid there a day or two; arrived there in
December. Blannerhasset and another man
went down. They stopped at the Falls of
the Ohio a little, and next stepped at Shaua
nese-Town, and was joined there by about
the same number ; stopped at Cumberland
River, and there saw col. Burr, first time.
They all together did not amount to sixty
men ; slopped at Fort Massac ; was there
joined by Serjeant Dunbaugh, who bought a
broken musket rifle. After joining colonel
Burr he considered himself as under the
direction of col. Burr. That he then went
to Natchez ; but as Burr did not go clown,
he then went to New-Orleans. Arrived
there about the 16th of March.
When he was put on board the Revenge,
he had not his clothes, and asked captain
Gaines for them—-stated he had no sea stores
—Gaines said he would procure them, if he
had a memorandum—said he bad not time,
but requested the witness to write to him on
shore. He did write, and requested a per-
son to bring his Trunk on board, that he
might take what he wanted out of it, and
send the Trunk back. His letter was refus-
ed to be sent, and tne Revenge sailed in
about three quarters of an hour afterwards.—
He arrived in Richmond on Friday, and
put up at the Bell-Tavern. Did not see col.
Burr for two or three days afterwards. He
was induced to give the affidavit from the
treatment he met with—was about to make
complaints to the court on Saturday morn-
ing, and expected the same treatment here
that he met with at New-Orleans. After
the trial ai Natchez, he took col. Burr in a
wherry at Coles Creek, and carried him to
a place up the river—Parted with col. Burr
in the woods. Left col. Burr at Natygross.
Did not hear col. Burr make any address at
parting with the company.
Never spoke to general Wilkinson until
after receiving notice ; but Danbaugh spoke
to him, and asked him to go to the gen.—
Herefused; Danbaugh asked him. if Wilk-
inson would write a note whether he would
go—He said he had no objection. The
note from Wilkinson was sealed, but open
at the end.
Questioned by col. Burr—When in the
wherry, was obliged to str/p on account of
the weather When with Tyler, the whole
party had but live guns, having sailed from
New-Orleans in hah an hemi after general
Wilkinson came on board, when general
Wilkinson offered him money, be consider-
ed it as a bribe The conversation with ge
neral Wilkinson, took place before the ser-
vice of the sunpuma.

always went out, when he was-seen ap-
proaching the b inse. He desired tl e
lord to tell them, that he had nothing- ba£
Subpoenas to attend the trial of eol. Burr.
Knox said he could not come immediately,
until he received some money.,.Lira
agreed to come upon further coi.vxi ,ar :in...
Knox refused to come...Gaines then applied
to judge Hall, who told him that an affidavit
shewing the materiality of his evidence,
would bring him before him in'rl th: i b«
would take his recognizance tor his appe.u-
ance in Richmond. He went the next, day
to see the judge...He shewed to him a de;^ -
tatio'.i from the marshal to take cbrare-e of
Knox for this place. He accented it upon
condition, that he should not at all rimes
have charge of the person of Knox. When
the Revenge was nearly read- to sail, he
sent a written order to the jailor by 1>li!i-
baugh. who received Knox...When about-
to sail, he offered Knox forty dollars, wiliefs .
alter some hesitation he accepted. Knox
was requested to write to some friend, for
which purpose paper was given to hint...
and Gaines said he would procure them...
He hesitated until Gaines left the vessel, and
Gaines staid in New-Orleans one hour, and
not hearing any thing of Knox, returned on
board. In the service of the subpoenas he >
acted under the direction of the at'orney-
general in all things which related to them.
After he went betotejudge Hall, he
under the deputation of the marshal, except
that he offered the said Knox a passage in,
the public vessel, by the directions of the
commander in chief. Knox, after the fil-
ing of the Revenge, was under no lesi.aint.
In Hampton Roads, Knox said he wished to
come to Richmond, but not in a sessel. On
the passage, Knox was treated as well as the
inferior officers on hoard. He was ntrt be
forejudge Hall with Knox, and does not >
know for what cause he was cpmtnirted;
He always considered Kn- ,,,,>, >.

Gen. Wilkinson mentioned JK."OX toi.alius;
informed him Knox was in New Orleans,
and n commended him to Gaines to be sum-
moned, He had casual cbavefsatioh's' with
gen. Wilkinson, but no direct communica-
tion between them. Whin he received ;i:,e
subpcKtias back from gen. Wilkinson,!!- dees
not remember that any thing particular p.-m-
ed on the subject. He informed gen. \V'-i-
kinson, that judge Hall said an oath was ne-
cessary. 'The general took the catii before
judge Cenas, in his own quarters. Does not
recollect whether he delivered the Certificate
of oath tojtbe judgeor not, but I ; lieves b. did
hot. He delivered a letter to gen. Wilkin-
son, which he believes inclosed some feul
nas. He doee*not recollect having received
orders, instructions or advice from general
Wilkinson ; but Wilkinson consulted with
an attorney. He always considered himself
as bound to obey the orders of gen. Wilkin-
son. He considered gen. Wilkinson as hav-
ing the power to control all the officers and .
men on board the Revenge, belonging to the
aieuy or navy of the United States.
Stopped a short time at the Havanna, on ' <
account of the sickness of some of th<* .
men ; badness of the water on board. :uid
the want of fruits and refreshments ; put in
about 4 o'clock and sailed the same night.
This was done at the request of the pers us
unwell, addressed to gen. Wilkinson, and
captain Read ; heard captain Read give or-
ders to the cook to supply the men with
necessary provisions ; but knows of nothing;
but the ships stores being laid in. The ships
stores were very good, better than those laid
in for the cabin and used by him ami others.
While at New-Orleans, he received advice
from counsel several times on a variety of
points relative to the serving of the si
nas. General Wilkinson advised him to
consult the judge or the attorney-general ;
he went to the judge and the judge was
asked whether it was legal to advance the
money to witnesses. The judge approved
of it, and the general gave orders for the
money. /
Mr. Graham deposed, that some short time
after the arrival of Mr Gaines, he was to.id
by the Governor that Gaines had a sujipceiia,
The subpoena was soon fffter served upon
him. The governor told him a public ves-
sel was prepared for the transportation of
the witnesses. He waited on Gen. Wilkin-
son to know whether he could get a paSsag*
in the vessel. Wilkinson informed hmij
that several witnesses in New- Oi lea as, part
of col. Burr's company, were unwilling ;
others were willing ; asked whether any le-
gal process could be obtained to compel the
unwilling witnesses to come ; answered thai , ,.
he did not, but referred him to Hie federd
judge, and knows the bad terms between the .
.general and judge, waited on the judge ;.t
the request of general Wilkinson ; asked toe.
judge whether any improper conduct would
be in advancing money to the witnesses.
The judge said if the witness refilled to
enter into recognizance, or to answer such
questions as would satisfy the judge of the
materiality of the evidence, the juds'C had
power to commit the person. As to the af-
fidavit or gen. Wilkinson, witness knows
nothing, but about that time when at the
judpe's, he saw Knox in company with a
Mr. Keene, a Lawyer. He had been with
the iuHge h very few minutes. The judge *
asked Kn«x whether he was prepared to
give a recognizance with security, or to
answer such questions as might be a»ked
him. He stated the same thins; to a Mr.
Fort—Pointed out the law of the case and
mentioned his reluctance to act against them.
Both of them, particularly captain Fort",
wished to seethe questions, the judge hand-
ed a printed paper—Fort said he v-as hot
bound to answer, and the judge BJ'ufht e:o
what he thought proper.
The judge sent for the marshal, and Fort
and Knox were committed. In the- atter-
no m Fort gave secun'ty in five huic'red dol-
lars, and was released. — Understood that
Fort was to take, his pas-age in a vessel • .i
to Neu-Yoik, hut does not believe he left
New-0rleane; as he said his business wou'd
aiffei very much. ..».-•
