GENERAL ELECTION. SUSSEX TO THE GENTLE CLERG OF SOSSE.X.Y. and FREETiOLDERS OF HENTON EY • GENTLICIAEN, T TAKE the earlieft opportunity of returning you x- my molt fincere Thanks for your having fa warmly interefted rsurfelves in my behalf in the pretent conteit, and earneftly re qut ft an early attendance at the Poll of fuch Freeholders as intend to honour me with their fuppott, not doubting but a continuance of the fame exertions in my favour will fccure my Eledlion. I have the honour to he, Gentlemen, With the greateft refpccl, Your obedient and faithful fervent, Lewes, May 20, 1807. I. FULLER. State of the Poll at the Clore on Wedriefday, Ma 20 : Mr. Wyndham - 3346 - Mr. Fuller - 2893 Colonel Sergiffon - • 28os ~,~ quence of this failnie, they had raife3 the liege in Come confufion, and marched for Elbing. They alfo report, that the Emperor NAPOLEON, confcious of the danger of his prefent fituation, has Niched the mediation of the EMPEROR of AUSTRIA ; and that the Emperor had contented to his requeft, under the. expels condition, that the Emperor NAPOLEON fhould reftore his capital to the KING of PRUSSIA. We cannot afcertain what degree of credit is due to thefe rumours. Some of them are contradieted by other accounts received from Holland yefterday.— Letters from Rotterdam, of the date of Monday laft, (late, that intelligence from Dantzic, dated the sth init. had reached Holland. At thattime the liege had not been railed, but there was.an evident relaxation in the operations of the enemy. This was attributed to the vigour with which the reiterated attempts of the French to carry the town by Qorm, on the night of the z9th of April, were repulfed. The garrifon made forties almoft every day, molt of which are re prefented as having been completely fuccefiful. There letters Rate it to be the general opinion in Holland, that the Court of Vienna was on the eve rf declaring again( France. It was even reported, pn the 18th inftant, that fuch a declaration had aetually been made. We do not believe that Aultria has yet gone fo far. The intended interview between the two Emperors will, however, produce fomething de cifive ; it will either terminate in confirming Auftria n her fyftem of neutrality, or making her a party in the war. FOREIGN JOURNALS. This day we received Paris Papers to the t 3th, and Dutch to the 17th infant. We fubjoin fome extracts —They are not of a nature to require any °Verve- Lions from us: " FRANKFORT UPJN THE MAIN, MAY 8. 44 Yeßerday arrived here about I,screl French troops from Mayence, and proceeded this day on their march to the Grand Army. " The greater' part of the divifions, Boudet and Molitor, have already paired through Augiburgh and its environs, for the fame points of deßination." PARIS, MAY is. The Perfian Ambafrador arrived on the :6th April in the Cattle of Finkenftein. The following day he had an audience of the Emperor, who, on the 28th, tbewed him twenty battalions of infantry of his Guards,and ordered them to make feveral manmuvres, which the Ambatlador contemplated with the utmoft aftonifltment. " Oa the 29th he had another audience of his Ma jefty, who convei fed a confiderable time with him on Perfian literature and antiquities. He is a Gentleman of much information ; and affured the Emperor, that there exift in Perfia Memoirs of the War between the Parthians and Romans, and alto a Hittory of Alex ander, which does not agree with ours. The Inter preter having told the Emperor that a copy of the above hiltory exifts in the library, he has ordered it tc be tranflated. " The Moniteur, which contains the preceding ar ticle, gives afterwards a journal of the liege of Dant zic, from the 22d to the 3oth of April. The works have been continued by the befiegers with more or left. fuccefs. The cannonade is kept up on both fides with uncommon vigour, and feveral forties have been made. _ _ _ 4 , On the 25th, in the afternoon, Martha' Lefebvre ordered the firing to ceafe, and fent his Aid de Camp to fummon the place, but General Kalkreuth replied, that he would linen to no propofals of that kind un til a pradicable breach had been made. 44 In the following night the bombardment was kept up with great fpirit, and feveral buildings in the town were let on fire, and the , flames raged for fome time. The garrifon attempted a fortie, but was re• pulled with confiderable lots. " In the night of the 28th, the befieged made another fatly, which was condated with much skill, and executed with great courage ; but our corps of referve at length fucceeded in repulfing the enemy. 46 The 5 per Cent. confolidated annuities are, in clufively of the dividend of the 22d of March, at 74. francs, 25 centimes." m BRUSSELS, MAY zs. g' The day before yefierdAy her Imperial Highnefs the Grand Duchefs of Berg paired through this city; her Majelly, the Emprefs, is hourly expeaed here."

He has made himfelf mailer of Alexandria, and has taken meafures to cut off the fupplies of provi fi ons from Egypt to Turkey after which he again !et fail, and &lofted his courfe North ward, to prevent the Toulon and Barcelona fleets from coming out. AMSTERDAM, MAY 16. A letter from Riga, of the 22d of April, N. S. gives the following particulars : On the 15th inftant the ice broke in our river. The Boating ice, occafioned by it, was more danger ous than it has ever been known fince January 17#4; nor was the city out of danger till yefierday. The water has inundated feveral places. Some dykes have been broken down, and all the bridges deftroyed ; a breach has even been made in the wall near the cita del. A number of honfes have been carried away or I deftroyed, Co that the damage done is very great.— I Out of five Englifh (hips, which arrived before the breaking up of the ice, three were defiled to pieces by it, and call on Chore" Letters and papers of the t ith inllant, from Paris, contain nothing particular, except that the (word and infignia of Frederick the Great, together with the colours taken during the tali campaign, will be depofited with great folemnity, on Sunday, the 17th inftant in the church of the Invalids. COPENHAGEN, MAY 9. Relpeding the late interview between the King of Prullia and the Emperor of Raffia, the Koningtherg Papers Rate the following :—The Emperor made his journey from St. Peterfburgh, for the moft part, in open fledges. On the ill of April he entered Polan gen, and foon after his Pruffian Majefty arrived there in his coach, when the Emperor, without his hat, ad vanced feveral paces to meet his Pruffian Majefty.— The carriage (topped, and his Majefty fprung from it into the open arms of the Emperor. They em braced for fome time without (peaking, but not with. out tears in their eyes ; and even after they had pro. ceeded together hand in hand, the Emperor again threw his arms round his Majelly's neck. The King returned to Memel in the afternoon. He withed to have brought the Emperor with him in his carriage, but he excufed himfelf on account of his travelling drefs ; but on the next day, at eleven in the forenoon, be made his public entry into Memel in his Majefly's Rate coach. The King again advanced to meet him ; they embraced, and proceeded hand in hand. All the Generals, the Minifters, and the Court, were affembled in the Grand Saloon ; but only Baron .Hardenberg and Pt ince Radzivil were permitted to afcend the Reps of the throne, where the Queen was (landing. The Emperor, on approaching her Ma jetty, kilted her hand ; her Majefty, in return, kilted both the cheeks of the Emperor. " Dear coulin" were the only words which her Majefty's feelings would permit her to utter. The Emperor afterwards gave his Guards the following parole and counterfign, " Memel and Frederic." According to the Koninglberg paper of the agth,' the arrival of the Emperor and the Grand Duke Con. flantine has caufed great joy in the army. On the soh of April General Blucher and his two Cons arriv ed at Rofenberg. near Finckennein. On the 22d, an orderly officer waited upon him with an invitation to proceed to Finckenftein ; he rode, accompanied by his eldeft fon and an Adjutant, and was admitted to an audience of the Emperor Napoleon, by whom he was very gracioufly received. On the 23d, he pro ceeded, with his lons and his Adjutant, to the head quarters of his Prullian Majefty at Bartenltein. THE EVENING STAR. LONDON. THIIRSDAY, MAY at.

The report is again revived this day that an aftion has taken place between the French and the Allied Army. But now the French, inttead of obtaining a viaory, as rumoured two days ago, are reported to have met with a total defeat. We have endea vowed to trace the rumour to ice fource, but all that we have been able to learn is, that it has been awed in accounts received by private channels from Hel fand. We cannot vouch for the authenticity of the news. It is, however, extremely probable, that before this time a battle has taken place. It wi;l give us much pleafure if we 11301 be enabled to Qate that it has terminated as reported in thefe accounts. Mr. KRAWS, one of the King's Melfengers, has arrived in the Dorfet packet from Mr. STRATTON, his Majefly's charge d'affaires at the Court of Svl4. den. It is reported he brings intelligence of the Ar millice between the French and Swedes having been at length tatifitd, or at lealt farther extended. Several paffengers have arrived by the Porfet, fome of whom report, that the French had been compelled to raife the liege of Dantzic ; that previ oully to this refolutioo, they had made a general afrault, Ehe reit* of which had been, that they were Impaled with the greateli lots ; and that, in conk- THE ARMY. . The embarkation of .troops for the Grand . Espe dition has commenced with the Royal . Artillery, of whom a large divifion has jutt been fhipped on board the veffels provided for their reception. The embar • kation of the foreign corps will immediately follow at Ramfgate, Margate, and Deal. We have to correct two typographical errors in Tuefday's STAR. Sir Jonx Dovut's gallant Regi ment is the 87th, or Prince of Wales' Ira heroes, not the 67th.—General Waal, is to fucceed Sir Gsoac s PREVOST, (not NEVAT as printed by miflake) as Lieutenant Governor of Portfmouth. We hear that Sir GEORGE has declined the InfpeCtor General fhip of the Recruiting Service. The tranfports which lately conveyed to Ireland the 13th Foot, commanded by the Hon. Colonel CoLvir.LE, and the aeth or Cameronians, Lord EL fl INIMON E'S Regiment, are to bring back Come of the regiments from that country deftined for the Gt and Expedition. General CaLynr is at Portfmouth taking leave of his fine regiment, the t4th Foot, previoufly to their embarking on foreign fervice—after the exam ple of his Royal Highnefs the Duke of Kest., Sir JAMES PULTENEY, the gallant Sir JOHN Dolma, and all the diftinguilhed Colonels whole regiments have lately gone on fervice. Reinforcements of troops for South America as well as for the Cape and the Eaft India fettlements will loon be fent out. Captain BAKER, of the TRIBUNE frigate, has d , ftroyed a convoy of Spani(h gun boats and coafters, in a very fpirited aetion ; but, unfortunately, in the clnteft,.he loft t 6 men, killed, wounded, and miffing. Captain BAKER had a very narrow efcape—a ball Bruck the flint out of a mulket which he was about to fire. His Coxfwain was one of thofe wounded. Thurfday the Surrey Militia came into Chatham, and proceeded the next day on their route to Deal. • The South Lincoln Militia march from Dover Heights on Friday morning for Dungenefs batteries. Thurfday fe'nnight, the 2d Royal Lancafbre Mi litia marched into Newcatlle upon Tyne, from Chirton Bairacks. Thutfday laft the 43d or Argyllfhire Militia were infpedled by the Hon.

Dumfries to Dalkeith. Seventy•firft, 24 Battalion, Edinburgh Wk..

It was Mr. TUFFNELL, of Cavendifh-fquare, the elder, and brother of Lieutenant Colonel TUFFNELL, who propoled Mr. BYNG, both at the nomiaation in November and on Monday laft. It is now afcertained that an expenfive conteft will take place for the County of York. Colonel Jolts CAMPBELL, younger of Shawfield, is expetted to be elated Member of Parliament for the Ayr diftria of burghs. The conteft for the County of Lincoln clofed on Tuefday evening, by the refignation of Mr. ELLIsoN, Mr. PELHAM and Mt. CH sr Lis having polled a great majority of votes.

Nothing can be more flattering to me than the prefent hate of the poll, as fares it re. garde myfelf and the worthy Baronet, who has been brought forward avowedly as my opponent at this election. As he is my opponent, I hope, Gentlemen, you will look upon him alfo as yours—(A loud mixture of hilres and applaufes). By the fupport you have given me, Gentlemen, you have fet an ex ample to all public men, which mutt teach them, that if they purfue an honer} courfe, without any other object in view than the interell of the people, the people will be always ready to come forward in their fupport. There never was a moment when it was more neceffary for the people to fetid Members to Parliament, who (hall watch over the conduit of Government with a jealous and fcrutinizing eye. The worthy Baronet, my opponent, is aware of all this, and therefore be tells you he is not fupported by great men, but it is generally believed that he is fupported by the prefent Minifiers—( loud tumult). Letters have been fent round by the 'freafury in his fupport, and he is alfo fupported by all the Imre& of the London Dock Company. There is not a per. Inn who hopes to have any connexion with that Company, who has not been clerked to fupport him. (Cries of bravo 1 with Mires, &c.) I mention this citcumaance, not from any apprehenfion or fear that he will equal me on the poll, but merely becaufe I think it fit that you thould be made acquainted with it. I well know, Gentlemen, that in proportion as I am oppofed by the Rrong arm of Government, Co will the people fupport my caufe, becaufe they feel my cattle and their own to be infeparable—( Bravo ! bravo 1) Mr. MELLISH •"• 44 Gentlemen, I fhould be exceed• ingly ungrateful if I did not feel the high honour you have conferred on me this day.
