No ore, however, flood forward, and confequently tle polling went on without exciting any intereti, and mull, by the contlitution of the Corporation of Lon slnn, be thus continued for the (pace of eight days in all.

At the dole of the poll this day, the High Bailiff declared the numbers to be : For Sti TtIONIAS TURTON 1389 RTHORNTON, 1365 C 11.11.1.11 CALVIRT,Efq. sass After the announcing of the Rate of the poll, Mr. THOlll7'Oll addreffed the eleitors in a few words. He complained again of public boufes having been opened on behalf of one of his opponents. He confoled him. fdf, however, with the hope that the flrength of St. George's peril was nearly exhaulled ; it was there that he had principally loft ground ; and now he hoped that he would advance more upon equal terms than he had done. But h was n .t a port of honour merely that he looked for ; he only wilhcd for fecu-- my in the prefent cornett. Sir THOMAS TrJITON congratulated the Elettors on the difplay of their power, which he conceived to be mod didinaly vilible in the high rank in which they had placed him on the poll. He affured the Gentle man who had fpuken before him about the opening of public houfes, that no Inch ailion had been done by him, or on his behalf; and in addition to that he obferved, that there never was within his knowledge a mote fober, well caudated elation in any part of 'England than the pr dent elation for the Borough of Southwark. But, in Lie, though he had avoided breaking through the proviftons of the Treating Aa, he t!•ought that it went too far ; he thought that !cßors ought to have tome neceltry refrethment upon Inch occafions as the prefent [loud applaufes.] As to the lad point of the fpeech of his opponent, who had fpoken, he had only to oblerve, that it was very natural for a man to give op all hope of reaching the poll of honour, when he found it was impoffible for him to obtain it ; he might now be very glad to find himfelf in a Rate of fccurity. Mr. CALVERT cep-tired a hope that the parilhes of St. George and St. John would yet prove a very powerful fource of additional lireugth to him. He thanked the Elettors for having enabled him to Rand his ground fo well as he had done; in fait, it was a matter of extreme furprize to him, that on that day he was not left further behind than he had been. It was to be reconciled, that it was a public holiday, and a boll of sank Clerks had been brought ft rth againd , him—[Several bibles, (Torn a number of young men on the hultings).—He hoped, that to.tnorrow it would be lien that his opponent's fire would hegin to slacken; aid he *void advance towards that fccute poatiou' which was now tong' ht for by the Gentlemen Who who fiat addreied the Electors. Yefterday, at the dole of the poll. the numbers were : Lord COCIIIIANI • xrs Mr. ELLIOTT 99 Sir FIANCIS EVRORTT Lord COCHRAN' then came forward and expreffed his thanks to the delimit for placing him at the head of the poll, though fupported by to influence of no party. He again declared that be flood alone, and had conneltion with any let of men, or with any of the no other candidates. It might, perhaps, be thought prefumption in a perfon, in a great me:ft; re a granger to them, to offer himfelf ; however, he pledged him felf to them for the independence of his principles, and this they had a right to expea. It was for him to offer, and if they did not like it it was for them to rejea. If they fhould be inclined, however, to try him, he flattered himfelf they mould not be difap. pointed. With regard to the other Candidates he had nothing to fay. It was for the eleaors to decide upon their merits. His Lordfbip retired amidfl &oda of applaufe the good humoured plainnefs, and fincerity of his pro feffions completely gaiired the hearts of the populace. Mr. jannimos then came forward on the part of Sir F. Bunny:, and obtetved, that if Sir Francis himfelf could attend there would not be a doubt of his fuccefs ; but he hoped that hi* friends would not fuller his prefent &nation to -throw a damp on their exertions. In returning him they would ferve them felves. His only ambition was to ferve the people. He began his public career like another Howard, by vifiting the prifoners and adminiflering relief and confolation. People in high &nations did not ge nerally like him, and the :talon was, that they knew he could not be bribed.--4 Loud applaufe.]—Sir Francis Burdett wants no Peerage—no place—no penfion—his objeft was to reflore the Conflitution to its purity, and to promote the interetis of the people. [Loud applaufe.j—He concluded by exhorting them to flrain every nerve to fecure his return. Mr. ELL:or endeavoured to addrefs the crowd, but the uproar was fo loud and incelTant shat he could not fumed, and therefore, after a geacral affer don of his independence, he retired. Mr. Ginsons (no prll had been demanded for Mr. Paull) then came forward and adverted to the invi dious diflinaion that tmd been made between Mr. %null and Sir Francis—a diflintlion which Sir Francis difapproved. He (Wed, that he had waited on Mr. Paull, and we underftood him to fay, that his remon- Rrances to induce him to become a candidate, had not been in wait, and therefore a requifition would te-morrow be made to the High Bailiff, and Mr. Paull would again be their candidate.—[Applaufe The polling commenced this morning, at nine o'clock, when the ti icnds of Lord Cocir Raw a brought tip their votes in great numbers, and Mr. EeLtov's friend: hive not been idle. Mr. SHIRIDAN and Mr. PauLL have both been put in nomination, and the requi Cite arrangements have been made with the High Bailiff on behalf of thefe Gentlemen. Their refpeftive friends are engaged in an adlive canvafs. Sir AN • cis Benom's party are equally active, and Wetl minller is a feene of buftle and confufion, from the number of canvaffing pasties on the alert.

The Hertfordihire County Meeting took place yeßerday at Hertford, for the purpofc of nominating two proper petfons to reprefent the County in Par liament.

Ciau.ss Bails t:tar r made his public entry as a Candidate for Briftol ,• but the mob received him, en the Exchange, with reiterated hitics and groans, and wculd not permit him to he heard in This defence. They continued their conduit to the White Lion Inn, where they became outrageous, declaring they would not be teprefented by a friend of Popery; and proceeded to dernolith the windows, the whole of which were totally destroyed; and on fome loofe boys being taken into cuttody for riotous conduit, the mob proceeded to the Council Houl e, the windows of which they immediately demolifhed ; and not a blue ribband was to be feen the whole evening.— On Tucfday the Elation came on when Mars, BATHURST and BRILLS' were declared duly eleded. The hides and groans of the populace were incef- Cant, until Mr. Bayntierr got into his chair, when, the people manifeaed every difpolition to do him perfonal injury, by throwing mud, oyfter-(hells, de. at him. When he had paired only a few yards into High-Rreet, he was affaulted with (tones; and, on being ((tuck with a piece of wood, he kind and held it in his hand, with a feeming menace ! which fo ex. afperated the mob, that ((ones, &c. fell in (bowers: and Mr. BATHURST, having received fe octal fevere blows, was obliged to descend from his chair, and reek refuge is a houfe in High-Rreet, and the blue cavalcade to return.

Olt the liardaneiles, Mardi 7. French intereft having prevailed at Cnnflantinopte; our fquadron failed from Abydos Say to this an chorage, to wait for a reinforcement, which arrived with Sir J. T. Ducawourn, confiding of the It-ya George, Windfor Cattle, Pompee, Ajax, Reptile, Meteor and Lucifer bombs, which, with our fqua dron, confiding of the Canopus, Thunderer, St a nd: ard, A&ive, and Endyminn frigates, gave us eve, y hope of fuccefs. Nothing was wanting but . fair breeze, which (prong up on the morning ot feb. 19, wlea the flgtial was made to weigh and prepare for battle, with fpring. on the cables. The anchors flew to the cat heads s never were men keener 'to dd their duty. At fevers we formed the line of battle; and bore op for the Hellefpont. At half patt fev , the Afiatic Caine opened its fire on us, as did that ot Europe. The Admiral made the float, that (hips were at liberty to fire on the enemy as they P•ifred• -, We treated them with contempt 'we.did not fire (hot, but wifely referred our fire for the formidable paf. of Seders and Abydos, whit the Turkiftt f'jua dron at anchor a little above it in a deep hay, flanked by a hitter) , of 31, 112, 31 and 24 pounders, with an innumerable hod of cavalry and infantry. Ai nine, the Caftle of Seftos opened its fire on the Carlo. pus, our leading (hip—a mn(l tremendous one it was. The parage is about a mile, and a quarter over— elofe to the water are two large cattle , , of three tiers of guns each. The lower tiers (be not altonifhed at what I advance, as I have ken and felt what I deferibe), conga of iminenfe brafs guns, that throw a ball of Booth. weigh; others of 772 and 546. One of the latter entered the main deck of the Canopus; killed three men, and badly wounded fourteen.— Above this dreadf ul battery, are two others of tI a ,pounders, feveral flanking guns in the towers, and a wc'l built mud battery dole to the ratite. All this we paffed, and, confider ing the oppufition. with very little lofs. At length we came to their fqua,tron, commanded by the Captain Paella. Our van fired on them as they paffed, but it fell to the lot of the rear to finith the work. The Pompee, Thunderer, and Standard, and Atiive frigate ran into the misfit of them. Our fituation wks happy. Three of them; in trying to make off, ran foul of each other. We poured into them round and grape, until they be came Co tick of their births, that they ran afbore.— Sir SIDNEY made the Standard's fignal to board and deftroy them. Captain NictioLts, of the Marines, performed this fervice with equal judgment and in trepidity. One of his men, James Daly, was flint through the eyis. The troops on Chore kept a bride fire upon him, but as foon as he got their own guns to bear upon them, he foon drove them off, and (truck the flag of the Captain Paella, and fet his (hip nn fire. Het he had a providential efcape : he had not quitted her one minute, when the blew up with a dreadful explofion. He colletied the marines in the boats, landed, took the fort, which he partially deftroyed, and (piked thirty one guns, 113, 32, and 24-pounders. All the other (hips blew up at in tervals. The Admiral, feeing the banners completed, made the fignal to proceed, and on the aoth, in the even. io r 4. i g , we anchored o ff Prince's Ines, about five miles mContlantinople. om the aoth to the : Bth, we had flags of truce e y day paging and repading, and we were told the Turks would come into all our terms, but that they could not be fo expeditious in their delibera• tions as in England. However, they can build bat teries, and fit nut (hips quick enough ; for they ma• na'ged to get fo many guns mounted, and fo many (hips fitted out, that it was thought prudent to beat our march back again ; but not before we had a duft with a few of them that landed on Prince's Ifland, to throw up works under our noes ; and a moll ca lamitous one it was, as it con us two brave officers and eight men killed, and fix officers and twenty men wounded. On the ift of March we commenced our retreat, and on the ad in the evening, anchored between Gallipoli and the Dardanelles. On the morning of the 3d, the fignal to weigh, and form the line of bat tle in clofe order, was made. We had a bomb in tow. The leading (hip tried the firatagem of a fa lute, which was returned with (hot. The engage. ment commenced. The fire of the Windfor Cattle was btifk and efferitual. She was our feeond ahead. Our fire was good ; I taw feveral of our (hot go into their embrafures, and difinount one gun on the top of the Cattle. But our fire was filenced by one (hot that came into the lower deck froth Satin, of 7721 b. weight. It carded two explofions of powder ;it killed four men, wounded 45, and blew kat out of the ports, who were drowned. We were cbliged to leave our guns to extinguifh the fire. This wasdone, but the I . :flake hanging in the cockpit and tiers, pee vented our firing again. You could with cafe have crept through the hole made by that fhot. The deck was covered with fplinters, and the four men that were killed were hove overboard piecemeal. The wounded were dreadfully burnt. Lieut. Haaatmorea is a (hocking fpeitacle ; but he would not quit the deck until the fire was out. One cf the poor fel- lows died laa night of his wounds, and feteral mull loon follow. Yeaerday we were joined by (even Ruffian (hips of the line and two frigates, with (even thoufand troops. What will be our next (ervice I cannot tell, but celerity of movement is indifpenfable, as we find that the Turks are very expeditious in crating bat teries and fitting out (hips. Monday Lord Mitros, fon of earl FlTZWaLiate, came of age. The following curious eircumilance occurred lately at a country chapel at the Northern extremity of Lancafhire. The Curate, a young man of exemplary life and converfation, but too little attentive to the Rated hour of commencing divine fervice, had kept his congregation waiting till near twelve o'clock, when, on his Reverence's arrival, the clerk rang in, and the morning prayers, with due folemnity, were offered op to the ALMIGH re by prieß and people. The holy man then afcended the pulpit, took his text, and, with bis ufual ability and eloquence, was dividing his fobjea into feparate heads, when fuddenly the large door was opened, a boy of five years of age entered, and called a10.,d, . 4 Daddy, ye nun suns yhame to't dinner." 'The feelings of the minitter and his audience may be better conceived than de. fcribcd.
