Partizans, who, in their zeal for his cause, forgot the sacred obligations of an oath. He would not have complained of the late Appeal, which he denominates an intemperate one, though supported without either prevarication or perjury.

MR. BIRCH now tells you, that he appreciates the transcendant Virtues of his present Majesty.It is impossible not to believe him, as it is the real interest of every man in the Country to revere the Monarchy; but it is a little unfortunate, that on the glorious fourteenth of July, he should have sacrificed his own sentiments, to the frenzy of a Mob, and that in his first speech, after he supposed himself a Senator, he should have alluded to an event which led to the destruction of Monarchy in a neighbouring Country, and that to when the sad effects of it had been so woefully felt.

MR. BIRCH complains of the extraordinary interference and powerful opposition with which he has to contend. He may be, and he has the character of, a respectable Merchant. No matter what the nature of his trafic is, whether in human flesh, hog's flesh, Corn, or Earthen-ware, if it is sanctioned by the laws of his Country, he is justified, and nobody has any business with it; but he is certainly a wretched Statesman, when he complains of extraordinary influence and powerful opposition.

However supine Englishmen may have been, resting on that confidence, which the happiest Constitution in the world inspired, the true Friends of Civil and Religious Liberty have of late found, that the NOBLE FABRIC, constructed by the experience and wisdom of their ancestors, has been assailed, and that without extraordinary interference and powerful opposition, the work of ages, the admiration and envy of surrounding nations, may, by the machinations of JACOBINS, Soon become a chaos.

These are not times in which considerate loyal men ought to speculate in their representation. If they have, for a series of years, been represented by a Gentleman, who has devoted his time and abilities to their service-if his conduct has uniformly been such as manifested independence in all his actions, without regard to private emolument-if he has, in the worst of times, by every means in his power, endeavoured to uphold the Law and Constitution of his Country, and if he has been the means of obtaining legislative regulations tending to the liberty of the subject; surely, such a man will not be rejected. Let the whole tenor of MR. COKE's parliamentary conduct, and his actions in private life be coolly and deliberately considered, and then let your own feelings and consciences determine. No person who looks to the issue of the present contest,

can view it with indifference, but trusting to the perseverance of the loyal Electors of Nottingham, they may look to it with confidence.

AN OLD & LOYAL ELECTOR.

Nottingham, March, 1803.

TAKE YOUR CHOICE.

Coke, Famine, and Oppression;

OR,

Birch, Plenty, and Independence.

To the free and independent Electors of the
Town of Nottingham.

GENTLEMEN,

The annals of electioneering exhibit no instance in which the dignity and independence of man, were so grossly insulted, and trampled under foot, as on the present occasion. At former Elections solicitations were used; and at that period, if at no other, you were treated with respect and consideration-On this occasion, the Electors in general, have dared to think for themselves; and have presented for your choice MR. BIRCH-He may fairly be denominated the "MAN OF THE PEOPLE," and his popularity

has called forth against him and you, a confedracy of power and influence, which, if successful, will annihilate your importance for ever.-This opposition is not so much directed against Mr. Birch individually, as against You-It is from his being the object of your choice, that arises the exertion of such unprecedented and oppressive interference. No compulsion is refrained from, no threats spared, to deprive you of your elective franchise; the value of which consists alone in bestowing it according to your conscience as Freemen ought to do. Frames, houses, farms, are all converted into instruments of compulsion in the iron hands of oppression, and their possessors threatened with the deprivation of them, unless, they vote against their conscience, and the man of your choice.

Men, some stiling themselves Noble, and some Gentle, have even stooped so low as to issue their mandates to their tradesmen from whom, in many instances, they have received replies worthy of Britons. Even, institutions, called in their origin charitable, have been perverted to the same despicable purposes; and threats have been sent by the Master of the Blue-coat Charity School, in Nottingham, to the parents and relations of the boys upon the establishment, that unless they vote for Mr. Coke, the pupils shall be dismissed from the school. We have read that

Charity suffereth long and is kind; doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil." What language, then, Gentlemen, can we find sufficiently strong to reprobate such conduct? Genuine Charity is open as the day; unbounded as the sun in its influence, and incapable of the paltry illiberal restriction put upon it, in this instance, by one who would be thought the disciple of Him, who was, in his life and precepts, a perfect pattern of the MOST PERFECT CHARITY.

The indignation of every liberal mind at such. behaviour will be heightened, if possible, by the reflection that many of Mr. BIRCH's friends are amongst the most respectable supporters of that charity. Neutrality was therefore the duty of the Master, and when he abandoned it, he forsook the path of rectitude and uprightness; and proved himself unworthy of his situation. Let not however those who may become the victims of such threats he alarmed; let them dare to be honest and firm, resting assured that an asylum will be provided for those children who may be thus expelled, and an ample, and public exposure given to the baseness of such conduct-Let these, and innumerable other instances of a similar kind, deter you in future from receiving favors at the hands of men, who in return for them insult you, by demanding THE SURRENDER OF YOUR
