TO THE WORTHY AND INDEPENDENT BURGESSES OF BERWICH.UPON-TWEED, RESIDING IN AND NEAR LONDON. GENTLEMEN, THE DISSOLUTION of PARTLIAMENT to-day renders it necessary that I should immediately proceed to Berwick and I shall be therefore prevented contiutting my personal canvass in Town. My success in every quarter has been so very great, and my reception, by all parties, so highly flattering, that I cannot enter tain a doubt of being again placed in the distinguished and honour. able situation of one of the Representatives of your Ancient and Independent Borough. I cannot take my leave of you for the present, without expressing my sincere thanks for the handsome and gratifying manner in which you have testified your approbation of my public conduct heretofore ; and I trust you will evince the confidence you conti nue to repose in me, by coming promptly forward to the hustings in support of Your long tried and faithful Servant, FRANC IS BLAKE.

We understand that the — Elections for the principal Boroughs are appointed to commence at a proximate date, and the ensuing month will be one distinguished by all the bustle, confusion, and dissipation, which are, accord ing to the present state of our laws, CONSTITUTION AL. When alluding to the Election, it is but due to ourselves to state, that on Saturday we communicated the Procla mation for the Dissolution, to the Public, earlier than any other Journal. While the public of the British metropolis is princi pally agreeably occupied with thinking of nothing but the election and royal military reviews, the public of Paris is occupicd in more serious reflections. The pro gress of the elections there, place beyond doubt, that the royalist party will be in the minority ; and so much se as to render it almost impracticable for the present adminis tration to retain their posts, with any hope of being an effective Government. What course, in their present dilemma, they will pur sue, or what course they safely can pursue, which will enable them to retain their present authority, appears not yet to be ascertained. As the day of conflict approaches —the meeting of the Legislative Chamber being to take place early in the next month—the opposite parties, as encountering in the Journals, are not both keeping that sober temper, which the solemn consequences of the approaching conflict might, one would suppose, natu rally inspire ; and ominous words of defiance have escaped from the Royalists, which had certainly much better have been withheld. The Royalists have been so reckless of results as to threaten the Liberals with the Army ; but troops in France, to be em ployed against the French, are not to boast about, as insuring security. No threat could be at once more imprudent, or more likely to prove ineffectual ; and every observer, not used to the rash conduct of the Royalists, must be perfectly astonished to hear of such inconsiderate want of sound policy. By the arrival of the French Mail this morning, we have received some information on the posture of affairs, hich have occasioned us to make these reflections, although leaving us without any absolute certainty as to what direction the Government will take in the existing dilemma. A Cabinet Council, held at St. Cloud onWed nesday, continued in deliberation upwards of five hours, which was supposed to be occupied in devising means to meet the present crisis. M. DE PET ROW NET is represented the advocate of moderation, or rather of delay ; that the New Chamber ought not to be condemned un heard ; but that its intentions ought to be put to the test. This moderation, it is argued, would enable His MAJESTY to enter into any conflict that may ensue, with much more effect, and chance of success. But—continues our informant—the august Head of the Government is unshaken in his resolves, being fully persuaded that the moment is arrived when further concession will only lead to results, probably fatal to all parties. The Duke of MORTEMART, Ambassador at Russia, has re turned to Paris. Since writing the above, we have received further in telligence from Paris, of which we shall now present our readers with an abridgement. Although presenting no thing very authentic, it shows how the public attention is occupied there at present ; and no doubt some of the facts may be correct, although Cabinet discussions either do not, or should not, in any country be so well known as these accounts would assume to be the case in France. Ths express has brought us the Gazette de France of yesterday's date, and papers and letters of Saturday esob- 1 ning. The following are extracts of one of the letters : " All sorts of reports have been circulated again on 'Change to-day. It is said that one hundred and ten public functionaries are to be dismissed, and the ordi nance for this is to appear in the Moniteur of Monday. It is again asserted that DIMON is to be Minister of Finance, and, of course, the funds have fallen. The 3 per cents. have been done at 79f. A great number of people still believe that a Coup d'Etat, for the 26th, will be issued. It is reported, BOURMONT has arrived at Toulon." The Cmtstitutionnel says " It appears certain that in the last Council several very serious questions were brought forward. Is the Government to present itself to the Chambers on the Bth August; or ought it to wait for a certain time ? How ought it to act towards the Chamber of Deputies ? What projects of law will the Government present to the representatives of the coun try ? Will a system opposed to the majority of the Chamber of Deputies, be followed by the Chamber of Peers ?—that is, are the Dlinisters to present to its deliberations a prospect of law on the Press, and another relative to the Elections ?" These three questions have been submitted to the Council by the President, who had confidentially an nounced to his friends that the Ministry was at last going to act; but if we can give credit to authorities, which to us appear authentic, an august personage stopped the very first question, by saying— " Gentlemen, I expect you to remain strictly within the limits of the charter, without swerving from the rules of the representative government; you must present yourselves before the Chamber of Deputies." To this M. de POLIGNAC replied that the position of the Ministry would be very disagreeable in the presence of a Chamber of the Opposition. M. de PXYRONNET then developed a plan for the Ses sion. First, it is absolutely necessary to have orators to resist the majority from the Tribune : then to adopt po pular measures. The Minister of the Interior then con• tinned to bring forth a series of projects of minor im portance. M. de PoLics Ac said he thought the army ought to be the first object of favour, and therefore that a project on the legion of honour, and one on the time of admittance to retirement, ought to become the first measure pro posed to the session. Mr. D'HAusszz proposed his plan of a rostral co lumn, which was adopted. As for the projects of law on the press, and the elec tions to be presented to the Chamber of Peers, they were both abandoned, it being observed that the ministry was not sure of the majority. " But a new nomination of Peers might be possible," said M. de POLIGNAC. An august person replied that a new promotion to the Peerage did not at all enter into his views. It was therefore resolved that the Ministry should pre sent themselves to the Chambers, and in consequence, letters have been sent to the Peers of France. The Courrier Francais says—" It appears certain that the project of the coups d'etat is again deferred. Busi ness is to go on as usual. The Session will open on the 3d of August. Every thing is preparing for the solem nity. The tenor of the speech from the throne is al ready agreed upon. After glancing at the victories in Africa, Ministers will say, by the Crown, that it was by the administration, to whom the late Chamber refused its concurrence, that the expedition was conceived and executed: after this a conditional amnesty will be inti mated. The pretended encroachments made by the pre ceding Chamber on the royal prerogative will be forgot ten, provided the present Chamber will acknowledge that the 221 were in the wrong, and show themselves more submissive. This is, according to report, the strain in which M. de Peyronnet is to draw up the Speech for the opening of the Session." GRAND REVIEW BY TILE KlNG.—Hyde Park presented a busy scene this morning, the entire of the troops destined to be reviewed marching towards it at an early hour, consisting of the Artillery, Horse and Foot, Cavalry, the Life Guards, Royal Horse Guards, and 14th Light Dragoon Infantry, the whole of the disposable Guards, all to be under the command of Lord Combermere. The spec tators began to assemble at seven o'clock, in large bodies, which were very numerous. At half-past ten their Royal Highnesses the Dukes of Gloucester, Cumberland, Sus sex, Prince George of Cumberland, Prince Saxe-Coburg, Colonel Fitzclarence, Lord Hill, and several Noble men and General Officers entered the Park. At this time the troops were all formed. The 9th Lancers keeping the groand. All was now ready to receive his Majesty. The Royal Dukes wore splendid uniforms (Field Marshal's). At eleven o'clock his Majesty, the Queen, the Duke of Wellington, and a numerous Staff, entered Hyde Park. His Majesty was instantly saluted by a discharge of 21 pieces of cannon; all the band playing the National Anthem. His Majesty, accompa nied by his brilliant suite, rode along the widely-extended line which the troops had now formed —here a general salute took place. The King then took up his station in the centre, when the whole of the troops, horse, foot, and artillery, marched in slow time before his Majesty—the bands continuing playing martial airs du ring the whole of this grand and imposing scene. The troops then went through their various evolutions with great precision, both horse and foot, to the satisfaction of the King and suits. At a quarter past one a discharge of cannon announced the termination of the review, and the KING retired. He visited Apeley- House, as did the QUBBN and Royal Family, and par took of some refreshment : they then returned to the Palace. Yesterday afternoon Her Majesty, accompanied by Countess Munster, attended divine service in the Royal German Chapel, and heard a sermon by the Rev. Dr. Kuper. Her Majesty afterwards took an airing in an open carnage. The King of Wnrtemberg, the Duchess of Cumber land, the Duke of Sussex, and Prince Frederick of Prussia visited the Princess Augusta on Saturday. arr. TWELVE O'CLOCK. The Estafette this morning from Paris brings the French 3 per cents. 79-25 ; and the information, by the private letters, is more favourable than for some time past. The opposition to his Majesty's ministers will not be to that extent as was at first expected. In consequence of the above information, with the im provement in the French funds, the Consol Market, which left off on Saturday at 93 to e, opened at the same price, and is at present 934 buyers, with an appearance of a fine market ; for money 931. The Grand Review this morning has greatly drawn the attention of the public to Hyde Park. In the Foreign Market little or nothing doing as yet. Prices nominal. LIVERPOOL, JULY 24.—The import of cotton this week is 27-112 bags ; and the sales are 1.5-170 bags, at about last weeks rates. In sugar nearly 1900 hogsheads best price sugar have been sold this week at rather higher prices ; for middling and low brown descriptions, with 200 bags of East India at 67 to 68. In coffee the sales were about 200 casks at former rate. CITY, HALF.PAST ONE. After the capitulation of Algiers, the Sardinian Consul caused all the heads which had been nailed up, over the principal gate of the Casauba, to be removed previous to their being interred ; mid the Consul counted the heads of the unfortunate shipwrecked sailors, which were placed apart ; they were distinguished by their hair. The Consul Market remains firm at 931 6 for the ac count, and 936 to i for money. The fineness of the weather has a great impression on the market, and should it continue a few days longer, we may expect a fine harvest. _ _ At Aidin, near Smyrna, a revolt has again broken out, and a battle has recently taken place. The rebels were defeated by the Turks, and the beads of the chiefs have been sent to Constantinople. In the Foreign Market most of the prices aro a shade better, with little business doing. The Share Market is divested of interest. South Metropolitan Gas 21 premium. Accounts have been received one day later from Al giers than the last official despatches to the 9th July ; by which we learn that the Turks, to the number of 8,000 men, who left the city at the time of the capitulation, and took up a menacing position on the other side of the river, have returned, to the number of 4,000, and have given up their arms to the Commander-in-Chief. They are about to be embarked for Asia. Perfect tranquillity prevails at Algiers. The country people are daily fur nishing the town with provisions, and a police has been organized. e, tft % -4 4 . d es , v' pucttms, 4.01.1,6A444411 COURT INTELLIGENCE.

COCKERMOUTH...We learn that Mr. James Brougham is to be returned for Cockermouth, a borough of the Earl of Lonsdale.—Morning Chronicle. Inrd Belgrave is actively canvassing his native county. Cheshire. CANTERBURY.—(From a correspondent).—Lord Ford wich meets with very great success. His lordship's frank and urbane manners, no less than his popular political principles, have won the favour of our worthy burgesses. We understand that Mr. M. G. Prendergast, late mem ber for Gatton, succeeds to the seat for Westbury-, vaca ted by Sir Robert Peel. WEsTatINSTER.—Sir Sydney Smith, it is stated, is to be put in nomination for Westminster; and Captain Pellew, the son of Lord Exmouth, is to bQ proposed as his colleague. MIDDLESEX.—No candidate has yet started to oppos e Mr. Hume. A deputation of freeholders lately waited on Mr. Fitzclarence, with the most earnest entreaty that he would immediately offer himself as a candidate for the representation of the county of Middlesex. The gentle men composing it were received with much courtesy by Mr. Fitzclarence, who declined their invitation. PETER aoROUGII.--Lord Milton is expected to be re turned. Su APT ES B U Y son of Admiral Knowles is a can didate. MARLow.—Colonel Clayton is engaged in an Retire canvass against the sitting members. ABINGDON.--Mr. Maberly is opposed by Mr. Mait land, who has been received in a very favourable man ner. Mr. Maitland's election is considered pretty certain. DEVON..-It is clear that there will be a contest, and Mr. Bastard, it is said, will be firmly opposed by Lord Ebrington. The other sitting member, Sir Thomas Ac land, has been on the alert. ExZTER.—M. Buller and Mr. Buck have experienced no opposition. GRANTIIAM.—Messrs. Cust and Welby oppose Lord Huntingtower's son, the Hon. Mr. Talmash. HEREFORD.—The present candidates have been very successful in their canvass. Sir E. F. Scudamore Stan hope and Mr. Leys have declined becoming candidates. WExDovEa.--Mr. Burge, a gentleman lately arrived from the West Indies, has pledged himself to stand a poll to the last man. Another gentleman also determines to try his strength. Tho present members are Mr. Sa muel and Mr. G. Smith, London bankers. HA .31 PS II lit e.—The Marquis of Douro, eldest son cf the Duke of Wellington, and Mr. Alexander Baring, are likely to start for this county. Ox FO lt DSII I R E.—The contest for this county is con ducte d with much spirit and perfect good humour on all sides. Each of the candidates has indicated a succcess ful canvas, by which it is inferred that the struggle will be a severe one. OXFORD UNIVERSITY.Ihere will be no opposition for the representation of the University in the next Par liament, and Mr. Estcourt and Sir Robert Inglis will suc ceed of course. Mr. Peel's courteous, affable, and kind manner, on meeting the Oxford Delegacy at St. James's, and the evident pains he took to show the interest he still takes in the affairs of Alma Mater, would not fail of ex citing comparisons certainly not to his disadvantage, for giveness from his most ardent opponents, and the veteris vestigiajlamme in the breasts of his former admirers. BRISTOL.—Mr. Bright retires, in consquence, it is supposed, of the expense attending a contest. Mr. Ed ward Protheroe, jun. has been put in nomination. The election of Mr. H. Davis is beyond a doubt. BEVERLEY.—There are no less than six candidates: Messrs. Stewart, Peters, Burton, Bateley, Cure, and Wharton. HULL.—There are five candidates fur this place— namely, Messrs. Sykes, O'Neil, Lyne, Stephens, and Villiers, _ _ Li xcor.w (City.)—Colonel Sibthorp and Mr. Tenny sonlare candidates. Lord Mexborough has declined. SUSSEX.—There will certainly be some stir and bustle at the approaching election for this county, it being, as we are credibly informed, the determination of Sir God frey Webster not to suffer Mr. Herbert Curteis to walk quietly over the course. There can, of course, be no question as to the final result. At Lewes, Seaford, Chichester, Arundel, and Shoreham, matters remain nearly in statu quo. STATTORDSHIRE.—Mr. E. J. Littleton is again a candidate. LIMINGTON.-Mr. Boyd retires. FROM A CORRESPDXDEXT. ORFORD, July 24.—The canvassing of the diff , rent candidates for this county is going on with the greatest spirit and activity. Mr. Ashurat, one of the present Mem bers, has a very large family, he has, therefore, deemed it advisable not to encounter the expence of a contested election, and does not intend again to offer himself to the notice of the freeholders. Two new candidates have an nounced themselves ; the first, Lord Norreys, who declares from the Battering reception he has met with, he is deter mined to keep the poll open to the last moment allowed by the law. His Lordship's friends are very sanguine of suc cess. The second candidate is Sir George Dashwood, and he is supported by the Blenheim interest. Sir George has repre sented the borough of Truro in a former Parliament, and his ancestors have been members of this county. In the year 1754, the grandfather of Sir George was a can didate for this county, at which time the most spirited and expensive election Oxfordshire ever witnessed took place; indeed, to such an extent was money thrown away, that for several years it shook the fortunes of the family. Sir George expresses himself confident of success. The ge neral opinion is, that Mr. Fane, one of the present mem bers, is quite certain of his re - election, and therefore that the struggle will be entirely between L ord Norreys and Sir George Duckworth. Lord Norreys is the eldest son of the Earl of Abingdon, a staunch Tory, and it is said his son imbibes the same principles. A great objection is made by the opponents of his Lordship on the ground of his youth, he being only twenty-two years of age; but, say his friends triumphantly, he can speak at all events as well as Sir George, who has been in Parliament for some years, but his voice was never heard within the walls of St. Stephen's. Political squibs in prose and verse are issuing almost every hour from the press. Every party are firing their paper bullets, but most of them fail very harmless, and certainly, taken on the whole, their composition is not likely to raise the literary character of this seat of learning.—lt is expected Sir R. Inglis and Mr. Estcourt will be returned without opposition for the University, although it is thought by some (and those not a few) that if Sir K. Peel would allow himself to be put in nomination, he would be successful. Much to the disappointment of the citizens, there is no probability of any opposition for the city. Mr. Hughes Hughes was invited, and, it is said, if be had accepted the invitation, his return would have been certain ; but that gentleman has published an address, in which he states that he stands pledged to the freemen of Rochester, and therefore declines the honour of offering himself to the notice of the citizens of Oxford. Mr. Lockhart and Mr. Langston will, there fore, in all probability, be returned without opposition. I I
