TO THE GENTLEMEN, CLERGY, AND FREE HOLDERS OE TIIE COUNTY OF YORK. GENTI.LIS R 1 C ADISSOLUTION of Parliament having taken place, I no longer delay announcing my intention again to make you a tender of my services, at the approaching Elec tion. As my conduct has been now many years before you, it is unnecessary for me to make any profession of my principles , farther than to assure you that it has been my constant endeavour to maintain the independence of my Country abroad, and her liberties and prosperity at home. I remain, Gentlemen, Your most faithful and devOted Servant, Aske, March 2, 1820. MILTON. TO THE FREEHOLDERS OF THE COUNTY OF SUSSEX, TO have broken the peace of a larze and populous County by an Elntion Contest, is an alair so serious and mornen•otis, that you are entitled to an apology for the step which I have taken, in h“v:r.g offered myself to you as a Can didate for your Suffrages at the ensuing Election. The follow-. ing Advertisement of the Honourable Baronet, lately the Eastern Reprt sentative of the County of Sussex, now my opponent, my excuse and apology " To the Gentlemen, Clergy, and Freeholders of the County of Sussex— It has pleased fire-JEN to release from a state of suffering our late venerable and excellent Monarch. The pre sent Parliament must, therefore, be dissolved within a pre scribed time, if not before. To me, whether the dissolution be immediate or deferred, is matter of little moment, conscious of having discharged my duty in Parliament, by supporting (as I conceive) constitutional principles, to which I stood pledged, I shall present myself before you whenever called upon by a new Election, not without anxiety, but certainly without fear. It has been ever to me a source of pride and self-congratulation,. that no period of time, however short, could find me unpre. pared or unwilling to meet my Constituents, to submit my con duct to their judgment, to abide their answer, or receive a renewal of their confidence as a splendid reward. It is im passible not to advert to those measures of Government which were carried in the late short and eventful meeting of Arrliament—measures which could net have been carried had net the er,:daliiy of the eoi l fiding been shiyiii!y and armidiously dealt nith. The return of the Country to peace and order, which ! we must all rejoice at, is attributed, by the supporters of the measutcs to which I have alluded, to their operation. But, as I do not llieve this ttanquillity to have been brought abet.t by the terror of these new Laws, I consider such en assumfa.n to be as pip.: and ,;ratuitais, as the laws then:stka crc caditrary, un-.' called for, and a most ill-timed and dangerous innovation of the Cmstitteli,n. It would inexpressibly grieve me, to find that your opinions did not agree with my own on this important matter; but, for my part, I shall ever reflect with pride and satisfaction, that I was one of the minority in the hard struggle for the cause of idler:l/, during the progress through Parliament of those dezplic Bills, from which, however, by the zealous care and indefatigable attention of those who so anxiously watched their course, much of the poison was extracted, though the sharpness of the fangs remained, Since writing the above, I ante informed that an opposition is likely to take place ; but for that circumstance I probably should not so soon have ad dressed you. It is, however, only„ necessary to observe, that no inducement of any kind shall lead me to withhold or to withdraw front this Contest (if it occurs), so long as one Free holder of the County shall be found willing to give his suffrage. —.I have the honour to be, with great respect, Gentlemen, your very faithful and deoted humble serframo. (Signed) Battel Abbey, Feb. 15, 1.115.0. : p" GODFREY WEBSTER." This Adver:isAnent is the cause of the Contest. The pro_ priety cr impropriety of these new Laws is the point on which we have joined issue. The Parliament of Great Britain has said" they were necessary." To you, the Freeholders of Sus: sex, the appeal is made by both of us—a large, populous, inde_ pzi.d , znt, and ur.i. - ...fluenced County, is to sic in judgment ;r-every Ereclu,:der I::nglaucl will have his eyes intent on the result Of this ITAOM.Tr.t( s contest; and by the event the opinion of the People of Great Britain will, in a great degree, be demon strated. With gre.tt deference and respect, I bes for your ver dict iu my fuvour ; and thus do I throw down the gauntlet and cheliense him to the Hustings.

AUGSBURG, FEBRUARY 2O Notwithstanding the vigilance and activity of the Polite, the attacks and wounding of women who ap• pear alone in the streets in the evenings, still continue. As the perpetrator does not consider himself safe in the public streets, on account of the patroles set to watch him, he now begins to steal into houses, and then to gratify his* wicked inclinations by stabbing women whom he finds alone. FEBRUARY 22.—The inhabitants still live in the greatest terror. The boldness of the disturbers of public security goes so far, that notwithstanding the . increased number of guards set by the Police, a girl was wounded in the street the evening before yester day, and another pursued ; and yesterday evening, t seven o'clock, an attempt was made to assassinate Student : he was suddenly attacked by an unknown person, armed with a stiletto, and nothing but his suddenly turning round, parried the blow from his heart, at which it was aimed, so that it struck the breast, and did not prove mortal ; but the young man, in defending himself, was severely wounded in the band: the assassin fled. We must praise the general indignation and tumult among the people, who ran together in crowds in order to seize the wretches who have so long carried on these wicked proceedings undiscovered. This afternoon a notice has been issued by the Police, and all the streets and squares are occupied by soldiers of the Police, Bens ' d'artnes, and military patroles. FIBRUARY 23.—Last night all was quiet, only that a fire broke out, as it did in the preceding night, but it was merely accident!, and soon extinguished. The Notice says.--" For some time past, excesses have been committed here, which excite the indignation of the Magistrates, and of.every honest citizen." The Magistrates of the city have adopted the measures necessary for the maintenance of personal safety and order. The Police forbids all disturbance of tran quillity by noise and cries in the streets, especially at night, the stealing into houses, and pressing against individuals; also all wearing . of arms by persons whose vocation does not entitle them so to do. • The roving. of idle females about the streets is expressly to he prevented. All the back and side doors of houses must be closed by five o'clock, The hour fixed by the Police for closing coffee-houses, taverns, &c. is to be strictly observed. An account must he given, within twenty-fcur hours, to the Police Office, of all strangers now here, with the indication of the nuizher of the house, of the landlor'd, and of the' stranger's name and business, without regarding. .whether a notice has already been given or not. All housekeepers, &c. are to deliver the notices prescribed until farther orders, every evening at six o'clock, and every morning at eight o'clock ; anti all persons who have permits of residence, are to appear, with Out de. lay, before the Committee this day appointed, and produce these permits, or Cartes de Secrete, to be re newed, whether the time fur which they were or;gi nails. given lie expired or not." [ • NAPLES, JANUARY 21. On the 25th inst. the Crown Prince of Denmark it-ended Mount Vesuvius, to oVerve, near at hand, The Deputies of the Society of German Mer Chants and Manufacturers have addressed a long Memoriai to the Emperor of Austria, t o show the advantages that would accrue t o hi s Sr;jesty's dominions in.part ticular, as well'as to Germany in general, by the es , tablishment of heavy duties, to be levied on the fron, tiers, upon' all foreign goods,, and the abolition of tolls, ato.,-in the interio r of th e Getman Confedera, tion ; they think that the importation of the manu; factures of France and England, 4c. might be wholly prevented, whereas they are now smuggle,: in, in such quantities, that prohibitions only injure the sub , jects of the State ;. for, while the home manufactures derive but little advantage from them, the subjects of his Majesty must pay the premium had for sniug glint, it being notorious, that thc:e are on the how. tiers, Assurance Companies against loss by smuggling. The Emperor of AUSTRIA has recently adopted A most liberal system of treatment v. - ith regard to his Jewish subjects. lie has given orders that Rabbies, previous to their being appointed to particular Syna , gogues, shall be examined as to their proficiency in the philosophical scierces and theology, and that sti - - pends shall be assigned to them, cn a scale corres ponding with their acr i nirements. _ IRELAND, RIBANDMEN, The Dublin Papers contain further details of the disturbances in the Western distracts. The activity of the resident Gentry, :tided by an increasing mili tary force, is, however, expected to speedily suppress these tumults. Three hundred and fifty of the Royal Veteran Battalion, commanded by Colonel Twigg, arrived at Galway on the :.'nth last.. A strong divi sion of the 95th Rifle 13rig . ade marched into that town. The 7th Regiment have nibiyed front Gal way and Tuarn to the county of Roscommon: The whole frontier of the county of .Mayo; adjoining Gal; way and Roscommon, is lined by parties Of the Mi litia Staff and 'Yeomanry.. The Dublin Etieniq Post says:—" From the Talon Gazette, it appears that the . Ribandmen in the neigh bourhood of that town suffered some of their associ ates to return to their agricultural duties, in conse quence of the reduction made by some of the laud:- lords in that vicinity in their rents. Is not tbis tact a presumption that 'thdse infatuated men have no ulterior objects, as has been asserted, in cOntMgl.- ticin?" The Dublin Evening Pest contains the following extract from a letter iriam a Gentleman of the first respectability, who lives in the rieigl:ouurhood of Loughrea, to the Editor cf that Mrch I, I SCO; ". Precisely at one ecleck in the meriting of yesterday, a patty of Ribandmen made an attack en the house of Mr: Daly, of Raford, for the purpose of taking away this Gentleman's arms. The pai;ty, consisting of about fifty, thought to effect their pin , pose by surprising Mr. Daly and his lit.the garrison. They advanced without making the •smallest noise, until they got within fifty yards of the house, where the main body remained, and six rushed forward tp break open the hall-door, where they were protected by a large stone door-case from the fire of the guard in the house. These men were protected by six 7mort of the *Ribandmen,.. who drew up within a few yards of the house, and who immediately fired a volley into the window and gateway over the great hall. The fire was returned with great spirit, and Mr, Daly immediately began to tumble down great stones which Were placed on the window-stool of the win dow that stood over the hall-door. This mode of warfare terrified the persons attempting to break into the hall, and the whole party began to run with great speed in every direction. Mr. Daly at this in stant, accompanied by his brother, Captain Daly, and some of the servants, rushed out of the hall-door, and, with courage bordering on the greatest rash ness, went in putsuit of them. The Ribandmen ran so fast, that they could not be overtaken. I am happy to say, that Mr. Daly and his brother returned with the lest of the party, without suffering the smallest loss. Mr. Daly is possessed of a great estate in this county, and is not only a good,y but a very kind landlord, and is of coo: se Leioved by ail his tenantry. The family of Raford is a Roman Catho lic family of high rank and resp.-ctabilizy in the county of Galway. I meilion these circumstances merely to shew that region has nothing to do nith the disturbances at present rating in the county, and that the deluded creattnes could .have no other ob ject in making this attack on Mr. Daly's house, but merely to get possession Of his arms, the better to enable them to carry on the war which the peasantry are new waging again., the Gentry f the' co! nty. GALWAY, FEBRUAIty 26.--On the night of l. ed nesday, at Cuirofin, about eleven miles from hence, a rencontre took place between a body of these mis- I creants, computed at about fivellundied; and a num ber of persons who live at that and a isw of the ad jacent villages ) which terminated, after a most san. I guinary conflict, in s e v e ra l b e i ng severe l y wounded on both sides. The assailants were, however, con polled to decamp, without succeeding in making fur ther incursions that night, or the administering of illegal oaths. One man belonging to the Rihan,t ban ' ditti was shot the preceding night, in a contest be• tureen them and the villagers otAnna, , '
