YesTE: - .eur was the day of nomination Cr a Re. I.raentative for the City of Westminster, in the Tama of Sir S.unuel Romilly. For some time John Casa Hobhuuse, Esq. scem.ed to be the Lord of the Ascendant, and it wr.s suppl;eed would come in under tbe wing cf Sir Fnmcis Burdett without a compati. tar. But of late a Candidate has started up, tine:- pactediy, in the parson of the Hun. George Latub— v. haat political principles, we believe, are th ose o f the Oppwition. Extract of a letter from the Agent to Lloyd's at Buenos Ayres, dated November 22. `• BY an express tatived from St. Jago de Chili, we have accounts of the capture of the Spunish , frigatc, La Reyna Maria In. be!, amounting 50 guns, in the port of Talcahuano, by Patriot vcosels General San Martin and Lantuio. It is likewiee reported that four of the transports of the Expedition tiara Cadiz to Lima, under the convoy of s t at ;gate, had been taken. :.µ---• t TUM NATIONAL BIIGIsTrr. ELEL'I'IUv. The butnnem for the election of a Iturgess to serve in Parlionient the City of Westminster began this rsorniog. The erection of the hustings having only commencel et c late hrrar last night, a temporary stage vas fixel for the c , :ccrlmislation of the Cati3idates and theii and r. r.r.rcerons body of constables were stationed to preserve order. The High kiailitY read the Speaker's Warrmt, and the Act relative to Elec tions After which Mr. Hobhouse cane forward, sup ported by Sir Francis Burdett and the Hon. Douglas 4 Sir L. Burdett said, that, in compliance with the general wishes. el the Electors of W'estiainster, he pre sented himself to discharge his duty towards them. It wee not hie intention to treeepess upon their time e bet should wait till he heard what other Candilates ( fur they were to expect several ) mig t advance.. For his own part, his principles and proleseions had long ken known to them, and hail met with their alipport. Afro the urinous struggle in which they had lately tri umphed, when so 'many aeoific,:s had been put in force to promote schion among the friends of freedom, he had entertained the hope, that when a meeting. was pro ' posed to consult upon. the measures accessary to secure the end for which they laboured, no person would have inteffered to etrbarree the cause so worthy of their gab l e s Radical Reform. That object embraced their ithts ; and it hail been generally admitted that Mr. flebliouse was, beyond all others, the most efficient man to labour for their interests, and to him their votes had been, he- might say, almost universally pledged. (Con fused shouts.) Every measure that prudence could dictate, and energy pursue, had met with their co operation to secure his return. The Electors of West. minater had had every opportunity of knowing his character and his principles. It was now too late to risk the independence of their city upon any precarious grounds, or to encourage delay in securing the cause they had in view ; already a Whig Candidate had gaited up ; he supposed he was inimical to the estab lishment of what alone would rescue them from thral dom, Radical Reform ; it might he expected, that on Monday a Court Candidate would be declared, Now was the Vnie for them to slate the rea'eepirit by which they were animated ; for he could not but admit, that they lied suffered their fir:nuns to be shaken during the late contest. He fully anticipated a completo victory in the steuggle they were on the eve of core-. niencirg; and that they would evince how dear their liberties were to them, by returning tke man who knew hew to guard them, and whom he had the honour to propose to their eutfrages. The Hon. Douglas Kinnaird said, he came forward agreeably to lone eetablished form ; for a Candidate must be seconded as well as nominated, and h,: had been requested by a numerous body of the Electors of Westminster to second Mr. fiehhouse. In ho- nouribsing hirnwith their wishes hewas coovincel they were aware that he could advance nohing which vould add strength to their animation in the great cause of freedom ; but tliey knew that he (the Hon. D. Kin naird) would be gratified and proud to have his services enlisted in the contest. He would say, that its a firm friend to Radical Reform, he would vote for Mr. Hob house ; for he was a Radical and intelligible Refer:ller ; nod • -- 1 . ..• e, his entire confidence in his principles, that ha would uuheeitatingly subscribe his name to the paitneiplesup in which he knew he would net. He uunciu,,cd by seconding the nomination of J. C Hob. house, Esq, Mr. Hobhouse next addressed the assemblage. He had come, he sail, to tedeem a pledge made three months ago to the Electors of Westminster. He had then declared to theel, that he would be found at th: post which had so often witnessed their triumphs ; there he was, and he knew it would never he sullied by his presence. Sir Murray. Maxwell had also redeemed his pledge ; he had told them he would not again appear there, and he (Mr. IL) understood that he was neither there perenally nor repeeented by prory. Many, who bad been. misled at the late straggle, would per hapv congratulate themselves upon his aisenee, and he took roroe credit to himself that his own exertions had Len ieqrumented ia iraluzing him to relinquish the field.' The a:co:nplishment of this; victory, he was aware, belonged to then ; it had been venially cum • mcnce'i, and their free and manly efforts would triu:e.ph es heretofore. Adverting to his mover and. excel:de:. Mr. H. observed, that he Was proud of his essozietes : their aid was powerful, and their plinciples teed and known to all: with the blesslng of Provideaze upen their exertions, they could . not fell. He trested :t was no arrogance in him to say, that he had been - liosen by the people, was one of the people, and stood scare to the work of tin: people. The cause cf liberty was above the horizon, and every thing predicted success. lie had said, that when he op - peered upon the hustings, he would enquire of them whether they thought him competent.—(Cheers, mixed with cries of No ! No !) —On Tuesday last, he had asked the same question ; there were then present upwardc of 1300—and, with the exception of about 12, they unanimously declared favcon Was it then presumption. in him to FT:I3. 14 peae before then ? (some interruption) there he would onnein, and remain firm: to the last moment.. If dis union prevailed, it was not imputable to him—the fault was not his—if so, be should think himself a trailer to their liberties; he was incapable Of sacrificing the in. terest of those friends who should place him in the proud situation of their representative. He entertained no unworthy wish to be popular; he would do his d ut y. It as to be lamented that leuis had been fostered, and were now to be brought intreaction. e he again declared it was not his fault. An o th e r ( andidate, he understood, would be immediately proposed ; and per haps utter his example, several ethers ; the cry with aq of them will doobtleas be—no eorrur t ion !no bribery His own int :Ain!) was, to lahour in the cause of tiatli_ cal kethrin.il person iiirptircti what he meant by ell Reform ? lie thanked his friend for looking that inquiry; he calleel him friend, for he would carrn to answer an enemy. Ile thought the question of Sof-. 'vs the seeend consideration f.T the people to look to; i:isees) it me: his ilea, that an eeteusion might hie mile of the right of r.titlillya, without m a ki ng i t uni yersel ; um: it watald be henelleiut to the people in the prc.:ervation of their ri;lits, and that wuulJ lead. to- Reform. lie was 11;4 so absurd as to entertain the idea of Annual Parliaments; Lot he let:hired lie saw no utility in long Parliaments ; an:: in his view they might be shoetetted with adv.thrsge. He belong ed to to party ivharever ; (cheers) but he hop e d h e should merit their fismr, as lie would labour earnestly to restore to them the share they had lost in the direction of their own affhirs. On Mr. Hobhouse retiring. Hunt abruptly jumped upon the hustings. He was gre,:ned with general ses and cries of—oll ! off! you have desarted your colours ! The Deputy Bailiff inquired if he was there as a Candidate, or if he intended to move for, or secord, the nomination of any Cantlidtee ? On hi; reto.y, which we did not hear, the Deputy Bailiff signified to him that he .nutst quit the stage ; which the Orator complied with. Mr. Nicholson came forward and proposA Major Cartwright—and was secouded by a Mr. Bowie, Mr. Lamb then came forward, supported by Mr. MtDonald and, Mr. Evans. They were received. wiih crics of No Whigs! and some applause. Mr. M‘Donald in addressng the meeting said, they would find in the man he bad the honour to propose (Mr. Lamb) one who was in every respect worthy of their suffrages. Mr. Evans, after the manner in which Mr. Larnb had been proposed by his Fluaourable Friend, felt tl.at he had but little to do. Every one fet that ‘Vestrein. ster, in the death of Sir S. gomillv, had sustained a loss which it was impossible to remedy, but which they were now to do their best to diminish. Three Candi dates had this day been put in nomination —and he had expected a fourth to present himself in the person of Mr. Hunt—and had this happened, the Electors would not have failed to prove tc.that worthy person in what estimation his merits were hAd. Major Cart wright was not there. One of his friends had liven him credit fora new qualification for a M.P. They had been told that the Major could walk .'2O miles in a day (Laughter)—but though he .eould perform this task, he had not been able to walk to those hustingl. lle wished the Electors of Westminster to look at tue situa tion in which this country would, have ben pix•ed, if the ideas of that Gentleman had ken acted upon. They would then see what delusions he had laboured tnder, andof what serious importance it. would Nava been to the people of En,gland.had he been attended to. The, all knew how much the country had suffered from tl!at most grinding;impost, the Property fax. When a m cet ing was called in Palace-yard, to petition agains:. :t, Major Cartwright, instead of ceneurring with the ge neral voice, held it useless tc tal:e the course proposed, and exclaimed " -stuff and nonsense—pay your taxes, mid seek relief in.a Ittihad Reforat of the House of Commons." Had his opinion keen uetel upon, fifty-one millions of money would have been drawn tram the hard earnings ei'his countrymen, and they woul '. have been mulcted at their weekly pay-tables to satisfy that old and silly politician. They had been told of Mr. Hoblicuse's splerdia ta lcnts.Ent, how, he would ask, had those talents been exercised? Fie had used them but t' detract frail the glory of his countrymen. Nothing would :lave 1;:oo tt l.t., him (Mr. Evans) feeward this day b u t th e Frene':.— the Lwolalionary prlncipkv, 0: which It. (Mr. 1:::n) had appeared the talvoelt,.
