We yesterday received thesParis Papers to ‘Vednes- slay last. They devote no inconsiderable portion of their oluntns to the ,proccedings which have just terminated in Westminster. In an article dated Augsburg, there is an elaborate discusiion upon the present auspicious state of the Aus trian Finances, lithe statementte a correct one, there is certainly groundsfor.congratulation ; and it is equally certain the writer is warranted in assuming that such an amelioration must have been produced by the pru -dent and vigorous measures of the Government. WC are informed from Rome, that fresh robberies had been committed in the aeighbouehood of Terra cilia. Sonic Bishops. who were proceeding from Naples to Rome, to receive institution, were plundered. The Duchess of Parma quitted her residence on the 9mth ult. and was expecte.l at Vienna on the l7th. Her Imperial Highness travelled under name of the i!ountess de Caleurne. Freneh Funds, JUly per Cents. 74. f. 30e ; itAnk Actions, 1ti1.511 Accounts from Ceylon, to the end of February last, state that Lady Brownri and all the Englit& ladies were about to come from Candy to Co lumbo for pro tvction, and every soldier that could be spared, either at Columbo or Gene, had been sent for to Candy, for the purpose of keePing open, if possible„ the communi cation between 'the different stations in the island.— Eltelapoola, the brother-in-law of the Dessare of •Ovid, who was always known to be a•secret favourer of the insurgent cause, •had at last taken an open part, and is gone over to his countrymen. Intelligence from.the East Indies informs us, that on the 20th of February. the troops of Bajeorow were dis rrsed by General Smith, after an action in which C(l'4 was killed, 'twelve -elephants, with 57 camels taken, and the ..enemy broken and discomfited. No thing new is saidioltire Peishwa : but it is certain that General Pritsler has closely invested the tOrt of Sing hur, where a considerable mess of treasure is said to be d..posited, many of the wealthy Bramins from Poonith Laving taken refuge in it before the surrender of the capital. Three mortar :batteries had opened on the katress, and from the vigour with which the siege was carried on, it was supposed that Singhur, vith its gar. ion of 1,500 Arabs, would speedily full into the hands et the bcsii.gers. A decree of the King of Denmark of the toth of .Ikitie, prohibits, under severe penalties, .the printing of. sny thing which.eontains offensive expressions respect -1.4; foreign Sovereigns who are upon terms of friend gulp with Demme:A, evaz though it should be laken front foreign works or newspepers American papers to the iOtleef June have hant.re-. ceivcd. They announce the arrival of letters from Chili, dated the Sth of:Arstil, whichossert that a Spa nish squadron had reaelseAlliuss, and taken posseastun .4 the adjacent country. THE NATIONAL lIEGISTE/t. WESTMINSTER ELECTION. SATURDAY, July 4, um The polling commencod this morning at eight o'elact. and closed at three in the aft , moon, when the numbers were announced privately from the hustings, we be. •licve, by Sir Robert Wil,on, us follows : Sir F. hominy 5 - 79 Sir F. Bunlett . 5158 Crt. Sir M. Alsixwill 484)8 Mr. Hunt ....... We should state, that immediately ns the 'hour for closing the poll had been announced in the usual man ner, Mr. Hunt -stepped forward un the railing, and serml,—Gentlemtn, the Whig candidate is now here, and his friends have come to see him chaired. The Whigs have triumphed. S;r Samuel is at the had of The poll, whilst England's pride and 'Weqminster's glory is only swoml,(hisscs and partial applause). He continued his observations, but was interrupttd cries of various descriptions, such as Ul;1t, none nt' your lies, •tis all c• ver with you, what will you do now Ilunt ?) Sonic delay haying occurred in making up exactly the state of the poll, and•the crowd appearing anxious and uneasy to ascertain it, he again obsereeii, You are waiting for universal suffrage, und may wait fly it.; to which was aided, by a voice from the crowd, the High 'Bailiff must be in Chancery. The truth of which, if any there were in it, attracted the attention from the clap.tcrup of the boxing orator. The High Bailiff at 1en 1 ,411 appeared, 'and declared that Sir tiintiel Ronsillv and Sir Frantis Burdett were duly electeti as the leepresentatives for the City of Westminster in Parham Shouts of Bravo,waiying of hats, loud and continued plaudits.) Gentlemen, give me leave to state to you, that .every Englishnum's house is his castle, that this hustings is mine, and I caution you against attempting its demolition (bravo, right) 'Gentlemen, I tell you, you may be satisfied that I can have no hostility to you (very true), sod should hope to be treated well.—( here he retired, bowing amongst . the upplanses of the attending crowd) when Mr. Sturch being calltd for, stepped fbrward to ad dress them. Genth-nen. 1 congratulate you— Hunt (still r. 2. : •g nt• , Aied, interrupted him by saying No, n• • • -ear Sir , amuel &may first,) A paus. .•.. • .. • • • PR, when Sir S.

I come.ibrwurd to address and thank you (applause). To be chosen by the free and enlightened electors of Westminster, by so great, en lightened and independent a body of people; to declare their wills and express their opinions, is the highest honour which an individual can be raised to. I am sensible, Gentlemen, that I could have no pretension to such a distinguished situation. I have endeavoured, though ineffectually, to support the public interests: but the ibis, the praises which have been bestowed upon me by the partiality of its friends, has been by far out-• weighing my deserts; praises almost which 1 •should appeal against, rather than adopt. By endeavours. Gentlemen, I have obtained this distinguished honour (applause.) I have been born amongst you, and upon the conduct alone which I have pursued in public life could I have any hopes of placing any reliance for your exertions. My thanks,Gentlemen, canned be expressed by words, but-actions; not here, Gentlemen, but in my place in the Mouse of Commons. As a Representative can best thank his constituents, by a faithfill dis charge of _public duty, by a constant and a vigilant guardianship of the public liberty, the determined asser tion of the people's rights; by resisting all attacks, whether made in the case of-juries, or the Habeas Corpus Sus pension Act ; by resisting a Government supported by spies and informers (shouts of applause) ; by re sisting all new and oppressive taxes, and resisting in time, any attempt that may be made to renew the -In come Tax (bravo)—to abolish sinecures and useless places, to lessen the influence of a corrupt k;overnment (loud applause), to obtain-a more equal reprtwentation of the people (bravo, • bravo, and -load pirudits), to shorten the duration of Parliaments(hurra, bravo), and restore to England the character she once enjoyed, of being the asylum for all those who are persecuted for religious or political opinions. To do this for you, I can appeal to put conduct ; and when the period arrives zt which I shall have to return into your hands, the trust you now repose.in mine, I trust in God, Gentlemen, I :hall be able to render you a good account (bravo, huzza.) It is impossible for me, Gentlemen, to ex press my feelings on this occasion.— (Here the [.earned Gentleman appeared particularly affected at the IT plause with which-he was greeted from all quarters.)_ I return you my best thanks— , they are too feeble for your. kindness—again I beg to than). you. [Sir Samuel now retired, with•several of his friends who accompanied him from the hustings, amongst whom we noticed, Mr. W. Smith, Member of Parlia mani tc -N.trwich, Sir Robert Wilson, the Gentlemen his.Committec, and many other reams of tlistinc- 31`1."1" Linn, whose names, we cannot at this moment set down. The cheering at his departure was loud and unanimous. A general cry for Mr Sturch was now raised, and he appeared in front of .the hustings,] Mr. Sturch—Gentlemen, what I told win has been realized ; upon the trial our .eneuties have been eon fininded, the battle is fought ani the victoray is gained (bravo, applause.) We have defeated, gentlemen, the power of the Court and all the influence of a corrupt -athainlitrairn, and have realized that character fin. Wes t minster , in tBl 8, which her glorious conduct had procured for her in 1807, when you, gentlemen, deter mined that you shonid be free (applause.) Gentle. men, the men von have now chosen as your represen. sativte, cannot be surpassed for inflexible integrity, for undeviating attention to the rights and liberties of the people, whose actions bespeak them as fit men to represent you as any miters in the empire—men who when they are sent back to you, to resign this trust, will return with clean hands and the heartfelt con sciousness of having served your interests by every means within their power. - I know, gentlemen, that you feel every confidence, as you may do, in these taco; and I um sure it is your desire that their names shocld Le long continued together 'in Westminster, as friends of freedom and humanity (loud applause). ( i c ail emen , I am sure you will agree with me to use the victory with modesty, and enjoy the triumph with good temper. I opposed the gallant Captain because I considered him to be eteplo:fed in a corrupt ministry—fhr a bad purpose (applause.) Bat I feel not the slightest resentment towards Lim personally, and I may say that as in pri vate lifC he is honourable, and in his poles.sion a good seaman, I am sorry he should have been employed in a service, where 170 honour. could be gained, and I dare say, he is sorry for it himself'. lam sorry Lord Cus. tlereagh had no other business for him; than to press him fbrward, not to restore our ancientindependence but to.reduee us under his able management to a state of bondage, (bravo, bravo, 'lStueoh—avell said, bravo.) Our enemies, gentlemen, have failed—ahe Captain is absent, and I trust he will be so fin- ever. I wish him from all my heart, success in .his pursuits--advan c e. went in his professien—but never to see hint here as a candidate lint the suffrages of independent men. (Ap plause.) It is unnecessary for me to say.any thiug in praise of' the character of those honourable men whom you have chosen for their virtues, zeal, or their abi lity. 'During the election you have shewn yourselves the friends of peace, decorum and good order ; and let me exhort you to give aao room to the advocates of uni. vernal anarchy and confusion to reproach you.—(Par. tial hisses and applause —llunt still on the railing ex.. cited a momentary outcry at the Jast expressions, and Mr. Sturch retired, amidst the mostgeneral and hearty acclamations ) Mr. Richardson.—Gentlemen, it is not in my power to .address you in elegant Janguage, but. with such as I have, I hope to meet your indulgence. The men you have just now returned, Will serve you with zeal, with principle, and ability. You were promised that Sir Francis Burdett would have lam placed at the head of thepoll—lint from tke attempts made by the Mi nisters and their retainers, not to return the man who most served you—and the splittino. of votes on his part with Sir •Sainuel Pen:»illy to the amount of nearly 2000, he has only the second place. Jut even as it is, gentlemen, I congratulate you upon returning a man, who has served and will still continue to serve you. I have now, gentlemen, but a few words to address to you. The chaiiiiig of Sir •Sumnel lirnnilly will speedily tale place, and after you have enjoyed the triumph, put it nut in the power of the Government or the Crown to cull out the military. Let your voices echo loudly to the praises of Sir Samuel if you will, but guard cautiously against all violence, Ihr every advan tage will be taken of it. Sir Francis Burdett is net heir, but for his Committee, I beg leave, being deputed tic that purpose, to return you his and their thanks. For their canvass, gentlemen, the unceasing labour and the industry, they deserve your praise. You will see Sir Francis in a few duys, as his committee mean to have him chaired, and confer upon him all those cen:pli meats which his character and cervices demand. (Ap plause.) Gentlemen, from the High Bailiff we -ha experienced every possible attention ; he has dis charged his duty with zeal, politeness, and inlpar tiality, deserves our best thadas. (Applause.)— The principal attraction was now directed to the tri umphal car which was in waiting in Henrietta Street for the purpose of having Sir Samuel Itomilly chaired and although Mr. Hunt as usual, addressed the crowd, he made but a sorry dying speech, and was hissed and applauded, exactly in the same manner as for several days past. The great hulk of the remaining people quickly dispersed, and Hunt's carriage was ready her the conveyance of his friends, Mr. Way of Wardour Street, Mr Carlisle, the -printer, Mr. Gale Jones his orator, an some other Gentlemen, whose names ore not to be fianal within the Court Calendar, or in the Lon don Directory. The orator himself was mounted, and ot his way from the hustings stopped at the Courier and Morning Post Offices, harangued the gaping few who Wowed him, and for ought we know, regaled them again with a gootl.vecch at his lodgings.
