JULY 13 was the fro tile resource for every kind of alarm. Nothing had occasioned the evils of that revolution but the obstinate tyranny of the old Royal Family of France. The principles of freedom alone had raised this country non distiuction.mind those principles would lake it still higher, if they were un checked, and generally prevalent. Several other patriotic toasts were afterwards drank, and the company di.•pereed at a late hour. WESTMORELAND ELECTUON: APPLEBY, JuLv 4. The Weann for this comity is conclowled. The polling bo'►tlas were this morning doweled. and the crowd assembled at an early hoar round the Im-stings to hear the result. Mr. Brougham and most of his friends had left town early this morning, and the blues took very little interest in the core. mom' that was to succeed. At a quarter before 11 o'clock the Deputy Sheriff appeared on the hustings, and declined Lord Loss they and his brother, Colo►►el Lowther, daily elected as Knights of the Shire for the county of Westmoreland.— This otheial declaration was received with acclamations by a great hotly of the yellows in front of the hustings mid on the hustings. The field was now uncontested, and the success ful announced their views and principles without ally cut►tradiction, and made what appeared to their friends a successful defence of their conduct during the contest. Load Lowther thaulted the freeholders for the prot►td sittose lion in which they had placed him on the poll, and the dis tinguished honour which they had done him by retnruing, him as their representative. He reminded them, that this had been a contest of principles, not of HMI, and denied that there had been any personalities shown to the opposite candidate by himself or any of his friends. Mr. Brougham complained of the array of the peace officers, but this was the first time that ever he heard any objection made to the most ample arrangements to preserve the public tranquillity during an election. During the contest at Bristol, 1400 constables had been sworn in to preserve the peace ; but Sir S. Hominy did not complain of this, as his antagonist had done. —He claimed for his friends as much independence as the other side could claim. The triumph which he now en joyrd was the triumph of the Westmorelatid fa erhulders, as well as his ;he w:.s merely an instilment in their bands. A contest had been threatened at a future election, but he would be found at his post, and would never desert friends by whom he was so honourably supported. Col. Lou ther felt pat ticularly gratified wills the result of this day, as the Member fur Winchelsea bail declared that his opposition was solely directed against his return. He anticipated certain success teem the beginning, and his trust in the honour and zeal of the Westmoreland freeholders had sot been disappointed. If the poll had continued to-day, SO impolled freeholders were in town to give him their sup port, and more than 100 others would have arrived from the country, if' their services had been required. lie had no apprehension of the future contest threatened by the Mr tuber fur W inchelsea. The following may be regarded as an accurate state of the poll on the la►t day of the curtest. It hiss been drawn up after a careful survey of the poll-hooks, and we give it (fur the same reason that we have anxiously given the state of the polls in different parts of the comps y) as an indication of the direction which ',oldie opinion has taken in a question where it IMinerly could nut be said to exist.

Sir James's recommendation was seconded by Lord Lowther, in his brit manner. The Mayor then put the question whether J. 11sislyer, Esq. should be elected by the tree and•iudependent burgesses of the Isotonic!' of Appleby, which wai unanimously approved of. After same pause, Mr. Wybergh got up, the Coust being unusually silent and attentive, and adelressed the Mayor as (allows:— Mr. Alaysr, I nominate and appoint Lucius Commuting', Esq. Member for this borough. Alr.Wyhergli was then asked by the Mayor the place of Mr.emicannan's residence ; to which Mr. Wybergh replied in a load voice, ". Afr. Mayor, f neither knew nee care." Mr. Cracketerhorpe then said, " I second tills nomination and appointment;' and Mr. Coneannon was then declared duly elected. The inmost order and decorum was preserved during the whole of this mockery of election. Sir James Graham de sired to know if Mr. Wy kergli intended to be chaired, to which 111 r.

Gray is to sastleavonr to penetrate to Tomhnetoo from the Gambia, Mr. Richic, late private Secretary to Sir C. Stuart, at Paris, and Capt. Marryat, of the Royal Navy,ate to attempt a journey towarskit in another direction. The firmer gentleman is appointed Vice-Consul at Moerzuuk, In the interior, the capital t.f Fezaan, a de. pendency of Tripoli, whose Governor is the son of the Rey of that kingdom. These geattemen are also sanginue of snceess; as the protection of the Bey is guaranteed to them, and the journey is not so perilous from that cause as by other routes, although they have the great Zaharrals to pass, and must be 'eight days without meeting with water. As usual, the French have been before us ; and 4 Spakiard, who travelled in Egypt fur Buonsiparte under the assumed name of Ali Bey, has actually set off. It is already known, that Mr. Boit/dick, and some other gentlemen from Cape Coast Castle, have penetrated into the Ashantee ronutry, and been well received, after some opposition from Daendels, formerly one of Buonaparte's servile tools, but now the representative of the. King of the Netherlands. Some curious information has been received by this means, which, it is thought,gives more probability to the death of Mango Park than any that has hitherto appeared. Mr. Howbeit met with some Moorish merchants, who had been at Haonssa, who stated, that while they were at that place, a white man was seen going down the Niger in a large canoe, in which all the other persons were Blacks. This was reported to the Kiug, who imme diately sent some of his people to advise I ' to return ; and to till him, that if he proceeded mach farther he would be destroyed by the cataracts. The white man, mistaking the good intentions of the King, persisted in his voyage.— The King seta a large party to seize him and bring hint to Haonssa, which, after some opposition, they effected, — Here he was detained lov the King tor leo years, at the end of which time he took ill of a fever and died. The merchants, who relates' this tale, declined, that they had seen the white man Haonssa. Whether this person was Mune° Park, or Isis compassion. Lieut. Mao tyii, the last known survivor of the pat ty besides himself, no meal's exist of wee, taining, although tlicre are strong seasons for supposing that no other white persons coul.l 1,.,►c been in the hue, ior of Africa in the situa tion described. The inhabitants of St. Dicta hate discovered a most sin. gidar plant. In a cavern of that isle, near the sea. is a Isirge basin, hum 12 to 15 fret deep, the water of which is vet) , brackish, and the bottom composed of rucks. From these at all times proceed certain 111C11 present at first sight beantilld tine ets, of a Wield st►nting colunr, and pretty ,nearly ee•isinbling our mnrigclde, only that their tint is mine lively.

On exaniining their substance closely, there appear in the middle of the disk fon ors: n Moments, resenibling legs, which 1110V0 'mina a kind of petals, with a pretty brisk and &pow . tancons trieSion.

Bower, Esq. praying that he *night be excused from serving the other of Sheriff, on account of his being a Piotestant Dissenter. This Petition was agreed to, and Mr. Bowser was ilisehargt.d fr serving the office on payment of his fees. . . The Court then proceeded to eousiiler the report of the City Lands Committee, respecting the disposal or sale of the office of one of the Common Pleaders fur that City, secant by the death of W. Watson, Keg. itlr. Dixon trusted, that the Cottrt smolt not proceed to the sale of this office, heranse then the purchaser would make the most of it. All offices connected with $w adiiois tration of justice should 1w free and unfettered. Besides, if they gave it away instead of making a sale of it, ilk...strongest inducements of gratitude and diligence would lie on the holder of it towards his benefaetors. He hoped the Corti would grant it to whom they should judge most fitted for it ; and lie therefore opposed the recommendation of the Com mittee, that it should be sold. _ _ . Davis concurred In this opinion, as did Mr. Fatru4 who moved that it should be disposed of by election. Alderman tioodbeherc said, that there were many pima. Lions at the disposal of the Corporation, which it would be impolitic and detrimental tcrits interests not to sell. Tbis he conceived to be one of them. After 40111 e observations Mr.Favel's amendment was arced to, and the first Court after the recess was tiled fur the election.
