The Minifter of the Marine has fent to the Maritime Prefeth a pattern of the Rag of the Ita lian Republic, which confi(ls of a red parallelo gram, in the middle of which is a white lozenge, containing a green parallelogram—The pendant is divided into four parts ; the firft, or that next the top-malt head, is a red trapezium, bearing a white ifofeeles triangle, the bafe of which touches the fecund part of the pendant. This fecund part is dark green, with a white band at top and bot tom. The third part confilts of tranfverfal bands, the two extremities of which are red, and the in termediate part white. The fourth part is en tirely red. The Minifter of the Police has made known in a report that Citizen JEAN BON SAINT ANDRE, zealoutly afifted by Citizen KEIL, Public Accufer in the Special Tribunal of Roer, has been able to arreft two famous freebooters, Pi cRLER, ftyled Schinderhannes, and another foam SETAE a,equally dangerous. This arreftation was owing to young MACRER, who, knowing that this defperado was concealed in a garden, went alone in queft of him, and kept him in play till thole who followed him came up, and (hot him dead. Government has ordered a reward to be given to young MACKIER. There two wretches ravaged feveral parts of the United Departments with uncommon audacity and b6ldnefss They correfponded by cyphers, and made ufe of the Jewith dialed. Citizen DAVID, formerly attached to different millions, has been appointed Secretary of Lega tion to the Republic of Malta. The Duke of Oftrogothia, uncle of his Swedi(h Majefty, is preparing to quit Montpellier, where it appears he has recovered his health, in order to return to Sweden. On the 29th ult. a beautiful frigate of 48 guns, called the Atl4nte, was launched at the port of Dinan. _ _ _ Government has retiored to its former deftina. lion the Church of the Abbey de Saint Germain:. des-Pres, which, during tome years pate, has been employed for manufafturing faltpetre. Workmen are now employed in removing the remains of the faltpetre. FROM THE PARIS PAPERS.

CITY OF LONDON.—The Ele°ion for the City of London doled yefterday, when the numbers were : Alderman Combe 3377 I & Travers, req. • 1371 Price - 3236 I Sir W. Lewes - 672 Curtis - 2989 W. Luthington • 113 Anderfon 2387 The meeting was adjourned until this morning, but the return was not declared when this Paper went to prefs ; though there can be no doubt that the firti lour Candidates will be declared duly cleat d. WESTMINSTER ELECTlON.—Yellerday, Ihortly before the numbers were announced, a very gro telque and ragged citizen was mounted upon the fhoulders of the mob, and made a very pathetic fpeech upon the inconvenience of prifons. He de clared moil feelingly, that he fpoke from fad expe rience, for he had unfortunately becn too well ac quainted with fuch places. This Brit Anacharfir —this new Orator of the human rare—would have expatiated at length upon this affeling fubjeet, had not the High Bailiff, regardlefs of his facred mil lion, interfered and put an end to his harangue. The numbers having been call up, Mr. Fmc came forward and announced the Rate of the Poll as follows : Mr. Fox, 2256 I Lord Gardner, me I Mr. Grahans,l4BB. Mr. Fox then addrelFed the Eleftors. " Gentlemen, I have to announce to you a very great mortification. I am, Gentlemen, the laf of the three on this day's Poll, a circumfiance which 1 I have feldom before experienced. The circum (Lances under which I am placed, are of a very pe culiar nature : I am told by both my Opponents, that they are well withers of mine • yet, how it happens I cannot fay, but I do not find that either of them acts confißently with this profeflion, as their friends generally go againft me (" No coa lition !" was here vociferated by the mob). I co alefce with no man. A feat in Parliament is of no value to me, when compared with the honour of your fuffrages (great applaufe). I moR ear neftly entreat thofe Gentlemen who with me well, to make every exertion in my favour, that I may Rand in a more refpeetable fituation at the end of 1 each day's Poll." Lord GARDNER next prefented himfelf, and at tempted, but in vain, to obtain a hearing. Mr.GaAHAat then came forward, and was hailed with (bouts of the loudeß applaufe. He obferv. ed, that he could not help complaining of the vile condo& of the different Newfpapers, in mention ing the proceedings of the day ; one of which Rated that Mr. Shaw fpoke yeßerday in fup port of, and recommended to their favour, Lord Gardit,:., when every one prefent knew that his objea was to fupport the interett of Mr. Fox and Mr. Graham. Another paper had alfo made a fimilar Ratement, but the Editor con felted that it was an error. There could be no doubt whatever, that Lord Gardner had bought up all the Papers ; as at proof of this, he laid, a Sunda% Paper had aiked him threeguineas for one of his Advertifements, of fourteen lines. I did, continued Mr. GRAHAM, molt certainly expea to have been greatly a-head at the conclu lion of this day's Poll, but I am again woefully dif• appointed. I have, however, polled eight votes more than Mr. Fox, and only 24 lefs than Lord Gardner. lam pofitively allured by my friends that if I try the event of to-morrow, they will bring forward a large majority in my favour. Mr. lowanss attempted to (peak in favour of Lord GARDNER ; but it was great difficulty he could be heard. He Paid every man ought to love a failor to the heart. Had it not been for the fea men of the. Britifh Navy, no Eledors would pro. bably have been called upon that day to give their fuffrages. He was, therefore, lorry to lee a Bri tills Sailor treated with fo little refped ; and what ever the political opinions of Gentlemen might be, they fhould not forget that Lord Gardner was a Britifh Admiral. Mr. SHAW, the Attorney, complained in a brief but bitter and lawyer-like way, of the milreprefen. cations in the Newipapers. There were feveralfcan dalousinifasiser: that called for the gorreftion of the Court he had now the honour of addreffing,and he relied both inlaw and equity, upon the decifion of the Judger againft fuch inalpraaiter. He begged leave to enter his caveat againft fuch proceedings, and declared that if they were continued, he (hould be compelled, in his own defence, to prove an abbi. —[The ingenuity of there obfervations, and the clear and impreffive flyle, truely formic, in which they were delivered, ruffled for a (hors time the placid dignity of the allembly by the thundering plaudits they produced,]—He highly refpefted Lord Gardner in his profeflion, but he could not confider him a fit pci fun to reprefent the City of Weltminfter. If the noble Admiral wanted a birth in Parliament, he ought to about—firer another courfi, and go in chace of a BOROUGH, like Mr. Windham.—[This remark produced loud and reiterated fhouts of approbation, and a Sailor, who has fence the commencement of the eleition made himfelf confpicuous, by (baking every day a whip at Lord Gardner, obferved, he was quite I lure and certain that Mr. Shaw had been before the matt himfelf, or he could not jaw in fuch a seaman-like lingo.)—Mr. Shaw concluded with walling it to he underftood that he flrongly re commended Mr. Fox and Mr. Graham, and thought it highly difgraceful to the Eleflors of Weltrninfter to leave Mr. fox behind on that Mumtaz Extetto2.—The conteft for this County is carried on with more fpirit, involves more interefts, and excites a greater fenfation than any other conteft in the neighbourhood of London, or perhaps in any other part of the kingdom. Sir FRANCIS BURDETT and his friends have made a very aaive and fuccefsful canvafs; and the popu lace are almoft univerfally enthufiafts in his fa your, exclaiming, " BURDETT and no Baftile.", Mr. MA INWARING'S long conneftion with the County, his influence with his brother Magiftrates, among whom he prefides at the Selhons, afford him not only great ftrength, but facilities of knowing and coming at the Eleaors, which Sir FaaNcis does not poffefs. The conteft lies be tween there two Gentlemen. Sir FRANC is avows that Mr. MAINWA RING'S condu.t in regard to the Correetion Houfe at Cold bath-fields has provoked his oppolition ; and that on the Reps he and Mr. MAINWARING have taken, in regard to that pri fon, he wifhes their rerpeftive merits to reft. The friends of Mr. MAINWARING, on the contrary, with to fet the Cold.bath-fields prifon wholly out of the queftion, denying the fairnefs of mixing it with Mr. MAINWARING'S eligibility as a Candidate.— They fay nothing of Sir FRANCIS Boarorry ; Sir FRANCIS fpeaks only of Mr. MAINWARING's con duet. Mr. Bytic is oppofed by neither party. — The friends of Sir Faitscis and of Mr. MAIN WALING almoft equally efpoufe his caufe. The refpeetability of his private character and the in. dependence of his condu.ft infure his eleetion. The Eleftion commenced yefterday at Brent ford; and we have feldom w itneffed fuch a bury fcene of bullle and preparation as was exhibited in the early part of the day between that town and London. Almoft all the coach-Rands about the Metropolis were empty; and nearly one half of Piccadilly was, during the whole of the morn ing, filled with hackney coaches, difplaying large Lbels with " Sir Francis Burdett" printed on them. About eight o'clock Sir FRANCIS BURDETT fet out from his houfe in Piccadilly in a private coach, drawn by four horfes, which were deco rated with purple ribbons. Two or three friends fat with him in the coach. Immediately before his coach there was a band of mu fi c on foot; be fore there were three horfemen, carrying each a large purple banner, with there words on them in gold letters—" No Baftile." Behind Sir Feats cm's coach were great numbers of his friends, Come in hackney coaches, fame on horfeback, and all wearing ribbons ; and the whole cavalcade was led by a company of illiaficitau, confifting of feven and-twenty butchers' boys, who fried& chimed their marrow-bones and cleavers during thofe in tervals when the proftid Muticians ceafed playing. They all proceeded at a walking pace : and tie. fore they entered Brentford, near Kew Bridge, Sir FRANCIS 81/RDITT was met by a party of people, wearing his ribbons, who took the horfes from his carriage, fattened ropes to it. and drew him at a walking pace to the Huflings. The people in Brentford received him as he paired along with loud (bouts of applaufe, and cries of " No Bafiik." About a quarter of an hour afterwards, as Mr. Matawaatao was entering the Town on his way from London, drawn in his coach and four, a number of people took the ,horres off, and drew him along to the Huftings, amidft the applaufts of numbers of refpedable perfons. Two or three friends fat with him in his coach, and he was fol lowed by a numerous body of the Eleftors, in coaches, and on horfe-back, all wearing his rib bons, which were fky blue. Mr. SYNC went in his private chaife from an inn preceded by a band of mufic. The populace would not fuffer him to be drawn by his horfes, but led him with alacrity to the huftings, whil e ;hat Gen tleman continued to diftribute very liberally among them his eleaion ribbons, which were orange and fky blue. The three Candidates were on the Huftings a little before eleven o'clock. The Hollings, which have been ereeted at the upper end of the Market place, are very extenfive and commodious. The wht of the three Candidates and thei r att e nd ants , ile approaching the place of elation, was very beautiful, and mull have been Rill more gratifying to every mind who reflefted that they were corn ing to give the people a frefh opportunity of cur citing their bell and deareft rights. The Candidates, accompanied by their friends, having met on the Hollings a little before eleven, Mr. Butco ALL, the Under Sheriff, having read the King's Precept and the AR for preventing Bri bery and Corruption, Paid, " Freeholders of this County, whom do you propofe to reprefent you in Parliament 1" Mr. PLRRY, of Blackwall.—" Gentlemen and Brother Freeholders, when my worthy friend Mr. MAIIIWARING &ft offered himfelf as a Candidate for this refpedable county, I took the liberty to join in the nomination, and I have the happinefs of laying you heard it with approbation. I was then fully fenfible of the reditude of his intentions. I had an high opinion of his underlianding, and 1 was Pure he would actively attend to his duty in Parliament, and to the bufinefs of the county.— His condu,l progreffively has ftrengthened that opinion. I have only to with my ability was equal to my zeal, but I am fenfible how inadequate I am to the talk of addraing !itch an affembly.— I therefore beg leave to propofe WILLIAM MAIN WARING, Efq. as a fit perfon to reprefent you in Parliament."—[Hip and applaufe.] Major ELszozz.—"• I beg leave to fecond the nomination ; at the fame time I feel proud in do ing fo, becaufe I have witnelfed his tried fidelity and approved integrity. I have very little to fay: the county has tried him • his Cunitituents have Peen him long and ably fil ling a fituation to which he was not appointed by any Adminiftration, but by independent men of the county—a mark of their confidence, which &as as much honour to thofe who appointed him, and the caufe he has uniformly fupported, as it does to his own cha railer. I fay this, becaufe reports have been brought forward—[A violent neili—celfiekrable r a nz.cur:—.Tairs him out,exclaimed doe people.]—l con clude by feconding he nomination in favour of a man of fuch tried abilities." you propofe as your Reprefentative in Puha 'llene ' Mr. Alderman SKINNItIIa Gentlemen and Freeholders, I have only to regret that it is not in my power to fpeak fufficiently loud to draw your attention, but I only beg your patience for a few moments. I have the honour of nominating Mr. Byng (a general butil of applastfe) to reprefent this County. This is the third time you have been called upon to make choice of him as your Repre. fentative. It will be neceffary you fhould hear what I have t• fay to you with refpea to the mo. tives which induced me originally to recommend him as a proper objea of your choice. You have in two Parliaments had occafion to judge of his conduit. At firft you knew him not; but I who propofed him to you knewthat he had been brought up in the fchr.ol of Virtue and of Honour, where thole fentiments were inculcated into his mind which urged him to fupport the Rights of the People and the Conflitution of the Country.— Such were my reafons for firft propofing him._. Gentlemen, the Candidate now recommended to you was brought up under his much loved, re. fpeaed, and patriotic father, who early taught him to look to thofe three grand points—Honour, the Rights of Englifhmen, and the Freedom of the Britillt Conftitution. [Applavfe.] You have had experience of him in two Parliaments. Yon have had occafion to contemplate in him a continu ance of that regular and uniform conduit which in duced me originally to propofe him. It is with pleafure I obferve that every vote he has given in Parliament has had for its objea the fupport of die Conftitution and the liberty of the fubjea, and that particularly in the laft Parliament not a vote was given by him but what was calculated to draw to a conclufion that war we all Puffer by ; that cruel and bloody war which has brought the country into that (tate which it is not neceffary I should enlarge upon, as it has been fo repeatedly adverted to by perfons more competent to judge of it than myfelf. I have no doubt you will confider Mr. Byng as one who defcrves your fupport in the fame proportion as he has uni formly fupported the Conflitution, and the Liberty and Freedom of the People—Carew! Bp: for ewr IJ Mr. BACON.-" In the year 1796, I had the ho. flour of feconding Mr. Byng ; his nomination was then cordially received, and I truft the indepen dent Freeholders will by their fuffrages evince their approbation of his conduit. I addrefs you as an independent Freeholder. The Candidate recom. mended to you is one who was born, bred, and lives among you, and what mutt render him more dear to you is, that he inherits the principles of his efteemed father.—[Shout of approbation.] Mr. Buocaatt— ,, Freeholders, Mr. Byng and Mr. Mainwaring have been put in nomination.— Whom elfe do you propofe as your Reprefentative in Parliament 1" Mr. Alderman Cootait" Gentlemen, and bro the:. Freeholders—l fhall make no apology for obtruding myfelf on your becaufe the li berty I am about to take is no more than what is competent to every Freeholder. It is the privilege of every Freeholder to pmpofe for your approba tion or rejeelion a third candidate. In alluding to the Gentleman, with whole name I (hall terminate my addrefs, I (hall not make any invidious com parifons between him and the candidate in oppo fition to him. He is well known to you by his public conduCt, and he is dear to his country by the difplay of that virtue which has guided it.— ( Bravo! very genera! plaudit:.) If a fortune large enough to create independence can have any ten dency in influencing your vote, the honourable and worthy •Baronet I (hall propofc poffeffes fuch a fortune ; but what is more to my fatisfadion, he derives from nature an independent mind, which has been cultivated by education. Although the Hon. Bart. has not to boat that he has heretofore been your Reprefentative, lam convinced his con duit cannot be unknown to you. I who know him perfonally as well as you know him by his public conduct, and who have obferved it uniformly cha raaerifed by principles of independence, humani ty, and virtue, deem myfelf juilified in propofing to you as a proper object for your choice Sir Francis Burdet, Bart."—(Loud and ine jars, soplaufo) Mr. BRITTEN—" Brother ireeholders, the Gen tleman whole nomination I have the honour to fecond, and who is the candidate in oppofition to one of your late Members, is well known to you in his public Parliamentary capacity. Among the few privileges—few enough, Goo knows, are thole which Englifhmen enjoy ! there is no one more important titan that of calling to account their Reprefentatives, and of making thole to whom they have delegated their power anfwerable to them for their public condua ; on this ground I (hall (late that the worthy Baronet has uniform ly been in oppofition to one of your late Members. (Hear! Hoar!) . I do not, as a plain Pimple Free holder, fee how he can join one of the Members who is in oppofition to him, though I can ea, conceive that he may ref his pretenfions on the fame foundation as the other. Either the Hon. Baronet mull be wrong with regard to his public condnst, and 1 am of opinion he is perfeltly right, or Mr. Mainwaring mutt be wrong. I think Mr. Mainwaring has been wrong. (Stoongfraptems of indignation.) I will tell you why (11/ffir) He is here to anfwer for himfelf. Gentlemen, Mr. Mainwaring hasconßantly during the laft Parliament ( with Tome few exceptions) been the advocate of all the mea lures adopted by the now defunct, and I may fay accurfed Parliament, that has brought us into our prefent Inuation."

Mr. BURCHALL interfered and laid, 1 have it in command from the Sheriff to requell you µ i j i hear with patience every perfon who addrelles you; if you do not, you cannot have the advantage of benefiting by their fentiments. Mr. BRITTEN continued.—" I mean to give no man offence. What I (ball fay of Mr. MAIN. WARING(not knowing him), I than fay to his face ; no doubt he will liften to me, and reply to what I (hall fay.
