For several days pre% iinis to the Election, the city of Lincoln was all hustle and uctivity. Never, perhaps, was a contact supported with more vigour and determined opposition, and never did both sides more confidently anticipate victory. TheCen didates were men of decided character. Lord PoL- LtNOTON and Mr. J. C. Pasha, of liull.declared theysupported tht.Earra cause on the smne principles as Lord Milton's Election at York was supported, in opposition to Colonel Harcourt, who openly avowed his warm attachment to Nlinisters, and en entireac cordance with the measures of the present Govern ment. These sentiments the Colonel expressed, in his speeches. eery evening, from the window of the Rein-Deer Inn. in his speech of Sa turday night, he 'recommended to his auditors the religious observance of the ensuing day (Siind ) which from Ins infancy he had been taught to re spect, and he trusted be had done so, as well on the plain, of llindootan as on his native land. He was ably assisted in his canvas by the wit and popular humour of Captain Brackenbury, who, dressed in a sailor's rough jacket and tiowsera, succeeded in attracting the attention and hitting the fancy of the people. Every scheme was practised to keep alive the immense company assembled is the city. All the torches, flatabruns, and tar-bairels, that could he procured in the coup iejt many . miles round, were bought up. The - edltsumpdiki of tibbou and silk for flags, &c. was alio excessi*is T All sorts of carriages were in motion, and Watt miserable corners or Lincohi, where unassuming worth has in secret lived and died neglected," .have within these ten days been visited by joy and music, by the wealthy arid the noble. Col. Harcourt is the King's Godson. The Earl of Mexborough is a lineal descendant of the cele brated Sir George Saville. Almon all the people of Holland Fen, of Hull, and Yorkshire, generally suliported the Earl of hlexbornugh : the greater part of the Sheffield men, the Londoners, and most of those who reside to the N. E. of the city, were in the interest of Colonel Harcourt. Colonel Ellison declined all interference whatever in the contest. The ex penees of this election are calculated. by those who have the means of being tolerably accu rate, at not less than from 23 to 30.0001. They were coesiderebly increased. by the vast number of persons 4.utployed to add to the amusements of the populace. Twelve or sixteen tar-barrels were car lied about every night, had eight bearers a piece, at live shillings a man per night. Each party litirnell out 201. of torches each night.— There was also for each a double band of music. consisting of 30 men, at 150. 6d. per day; and about 30 flag-hearer` at 3s. exch.

THE BRITISH PRESS. •-•••••e••• LONDON, MONDAY, J•L 18. We announced, on Saturday, the arrival of the Sahew frigate, Capt. &minium, with the Right Hon. Lord WILLIAM CAVEIITISH RENWICK, lide Governor of Madras, on board, in fifteen weeks, from Fort St. George. The Salsette was built at Borchay, and is sent home for an experiment, to ascertain whetlier ships of her claw, built of teak wood, and equipped in the sense imumer, will answer, before orders are given to build several more in that country. She is remarkably strong ,a milt, but it is thought that she does not answer .s.aser helm well. The expense of building there is considerably less than in ally part of Europe. All was tranquil in India when the left Madras. The dispatches brimight by her, we understand, are sot of any great importance. The Gazette of Saturday night contains the ap• pointment of Sir GEoalis PREVOST, Bart. Lieu tenant-Governor of Portsmouth Garrison, to he Lieutenant-Governor of Nova Scotia, in the room of Sir JOTIN WIFNTWARTII, Hart. and Commander in Chief of the f.wees in that province and itr dependencies, with the rank of Lieutenant-Gene ral. Five regiments are going mit with Sir Groat= VIISTOIT to I l&ifay. The 7th and oth regiments are of the nunther. Admire! Me RH Alr came up to Portsmouth, on Saturday, from St. lielen's, where he had arrived • •ma Thunithsy, from Cork, as stated in our paper of Saturday. A part of the tith regiment of I)rapon Guards, or Royal (7arabineers ; the 17th regi went of I)ragoinis, and the , 211 battalion of the 34th regiment, are arrived with him, in several transports.

The ('eappiee, transport, Lieutenant 'looms', which al-a last week at Portsmouth, as a cartel from _Buenos Ayres, brought home 114 melt of the 714 reghneut, and 54 seamen and marines b-I ringing to His :irSAJEcT'v'l ships Diadems, i?a;- ik , 4 „bk, Di om ede, and Lena.

She left Captain CORSET, in tie Nereitle, with the Clarsell end liernies stoops, and Olympic cutter, cruising in the River Plata. She touched at St:Helm:a on the t Lit of November, and bawled 30 men of the St. Helena corps, . who were also taken with General BLUES roan. More than itoo men (principally of the 71st Highland regirst,) who bad entered into pvos.. perous engagements in farms, which the Spaniards had stocked for theta, refused to leave the country. and they are left !aloha. A number of them had 'untried the native women. The Campion is the last British vessel that was to learc South America ; Captain Caaaott„, of the Stith regiment, Anal Captain tilauturox, of the sth regiment, who were left by General Wmirruicae, as hostages for the fulfilment of the treaty, came home in her. She left the Agincourt, 63, Captain Hut, at St. Helena, waiting the snivel of a fleet of East In diamen, which she was to bring to England. The indirect negociation between this country and France, is, we understand, brought to a dose. We were first informed, by an article in the A romi tear, that Austria had made common cause with BONAPARTE and his vassals on the Conti nent, against Egland ; a fact, we believe, of which there is now no doubt; but, in evidence of Austria's reluctance to comply with this demand, we naderstand that she proposed, as a condition, to endeavour to effect a general peace. The request was acceded to, and Count Mats arrived in a flag of truce, with powers to offer the mediation of Austria. The British Government required, in the outset, a basis to be laid down by France.--! The answer to the requisition was a blank passport, to be filled up with the name of a negocia tor, on the part of MS MAJESTY. Our Court re peated its demands for a basis. The demand was, however, eluded by the French Government. The question respecting the principles of our mari time rights was at length introduced, but the at tempt failed, as premature, until the proposal of a basis. Thu overtures were of course interrupted, and put an end to. The Austrian Minister has de manded his passports; but will not immediately take his departure. Upon his leaving this country lie will be accompanied by Baron JACOBI. the Prussian Minister. The Austrian Ambarsador will go direct to Paris, as we stated in a former Paper. We understand that Government expect a stun from the Bank sufficient to enable them to do without a lean for the present year. Sir S. HOOD and General BERESFORD art re.. ported to have proceeded against the Danish West India Islands. A vessel arrived at Liverpool, saw a fleet 50 leagues to the westward of Madeira, on ! the .24th of Deceuiber, which is supposed to be ' the expedition which sailed from Cork on the 6th. The report of two insurrections at Lisbon still rests entirely upon the authority of an American Captain, arrived at Cork. lie states that the first took place on the loth, and the second on the 15th of December. There are accounts from the Bri tish squadron off the Tagus, of the 28th, at which time the events said to have occurred at Lisbon, on the 10th and 15th, were unknown on board our ships. Another Expedition is in preparation, and it is supposed to be isf magnitude, from the circum stance of the Transport Board being directed to engage an inrrealwil numicr of transports, not withstanding the tonnage at present in the service is great to an unprecedented extent. An &chance of a shilling per ton per month is offered for cop perod ships. This expedition it is said will by under the command of General "Moons, seesaw palsied by General MIRANDA. South America is thence supposed to he its 414.,tination. Admiral MURRAY was expected yesterday at the Admiralty, but he did not arrive. Dispatches were sent off last night from the Ad miralty and the Foreign Office, to Portsmouth, to he forwarded in a fast-sailing vessel to KM Jam iro and St. Salvador, iu the limas. Dispatches were received yestenlity at the Admi ralty, from Torbay. They were-scut oft immediate ly to Mr. Pnt.a, at Blackheath.

The Grand Serious Opera of Semirasside was performed, on Saturday evening last, and Ma claine CATALAN( displayed all her powers of voice and acting to the greatest advantage. The ap plause was unbounded. Madame Woo Lawn was also very well received, and much applauded in her little song. Mr. D'Eavit.i.s t ri Ballet way very well received, and the dances went otf with eclust.

DRURY-LANE. MORPHY'S lively and very entertaining Comedy of AU is the Wren, was repeated at this Theatre by particular desire on Saturday night, and honoured with a most brilliant and crowded audience, who expressed all the delight that such variety of scene, natural vivacity, and interesting bustle, Must ever excite. Mn. JORDANS Beli>rds is a natural, in teresting, and elegant performance. Miss Macke, in Lady Restless, leaves the audience nothing to wish. Mr. ELusrow's Berer/em, and Mr. Witoncg- TON 'S Sir John Restless, are rich in dramatic ex cellence. There is no Comedy presents a more per fect representation. The new PaNtoisiate followed, and increases each night in public favour. COVE T-QAfDE N. The Walden,. ; or, The Rights of Hospitality, und the Pantomime of The Four Elements, were must numerously attended on Saturday- night. WINDSOR THRATRE. Mr. Colman's interesting Opera of Inkle and Yarieo was performed, at this theatre, on Saturday evening, in which Messrs. INCLEDON and DONt- TON, with great liberality, gave their united ser vices, for the benefit of Mrs. Ott.Tow. The very 'superior merits or these two performers are so well known, that it is almost needless to say anything in their praise ; but it would seem ungrateful not to acknowledge that Mr. Doweon, (who never per formed there before,) placed Sir C%ristspher (Jerry • with such energetic force and feeling, us to draw forth the most unbounded applause, and to excite the general admiration of the audience. Mr. D.' was no lees happy in the part of Lingo, in The Agreeable Svrprue, which he gave with a deg,ree of rich luxuriant humour we have seldom seen thrown into the part before ; and Which was, throughout, received with the warmest marks of approbation.— As to Mr. 111CLEDON, we never remember to have. heard him is finer voice ; and when we say that he sang Blurt-eyed Susan, The Storm, and Admiral Beabow, it may easily be conceived how rich a treat the audience received, and with what rap turout applause they evinced their admiration of it. MIII6 MUDIF:O Yarico was truly interehting, awl we never saw her to more advantage. Mrs. Dal.- Ton's Cowslip is the best we have seen since Mrs. WELLS, of whom she very strongly reminded us. A moat curious and laughable circumstance at tended the performance of Messrs. Isct.s.oox and Doveron. It seems, that during the whole day per ions applying for tickets had expressed great apprehensions of a disappointment, and when the doors were opened, these who came refused to pay until they were assured these gentlemen were come, on which it was thought necehsary to inform the town of their arrival, and the bellutan went round with the following no ti ce : . . " This hi tt give notice to all whom it may concern to some recent disappoiattuents at the Windsor The atre, great doubts hate as Lieu this day respecting the per formance of Messrs.
