Wilberforce, Esq. and the Right Hon. Lord Milton duly eledeti to represent this county in the ensuing Parliament. In cons: quence of the indisposition of M- Wilber force, Si, It. D.Hisnvaso retorried thatiks to the Fteeholdets for placing Mr. Wilberforce at the head of the Pull, confident they would ever find him indetAtigAble. and attentive to their interests. Loyd Mooron returned sincere and heartfelt flooks for the honour conferred, by choosing him their Representative in Parliament. Ha alluded st:,;n,fly to the expressions gone abroad relative to the irritation of the pui.hc mind, which he attri buted to the present A.iin;nistration ; peculiarly by dissolving Parliament, when tht minds of the peo ple were heated, and unequal to exercise their cool and dispassionate judgment, and felt gratified that the Freeholders of the county of York had vindi cated the condult of the late Administration in his person. He avowed his parliaMentary conduf would be in unison with those champions for Li berty, Hampden and Sidney. He recommended his friends to enjoy the vidory they had gained with moderation; for by ading contrary to the friends of his opoonents, (when they appeared to have a temporary Advaratage,) they would evince th- i- magnanimity. The Hon. H. Lascsttes returned thanks to those who had honoured him with their support. He maintained, that the state of the Poll evinced he ./ffered himself upon no weak grounds: he al luded to the expressions of the Noble Lord, relative to the irritation of the public mind ; and after some observations on the poll, declared he lett more gratified in the ration he then wai, than he should have been in that the Noble Lord had arrived at. Lord Milton was then ;haired in the usual mul lein round the Castle-yard and through some of the principal streets of this city, accompanied by a most numerous body of his friends, in which he received the hearty and free acclamations of many thou sands of Freeholders and Citizens. Mr. Willserforat's illness prevented his appearing sre the Hustings, consequently the ceremony of chairing, on his part, was dispensed with. Thus on Friday, the of June, terminated the above arduous struggle; a struggle, byes!' the Can. didatet an•l their friends, of such strength and per severance, as has never, at arty period, been equalled at any County Eli lion in the kingdom. Indeed, the pert axes lions put in force are not to be won dered at, when it is to be considered, that the repro s•rntation of this extensive, populous, rich, and inde.

LONDON, MONDAY. iota 8. The present Ministers have ma.'e great exertions to assist our Allies upon the Continent. With the command of the ocean in their hands, they sent the hired vessel, to relieve the City of Dantzic, but without rife°. Any deficiency, however, in execu- tion, they have made up for in preparation. On Sa turday there were about t) transports at Der ford ; SO of them are copper-bottomei vessels, which are supposed to be intended for a remote destination. 01 the other SO sail, some arc fitted up for horse, and others for troop ships. On Tnui sday, 101 more transports sailed from Gallions, near IVoolwich. The horse ships are to rendezvous at Ramsgate, and the troop ships in the Downs. Other vessels are taken up every hour, in great numbers, in the Pool. Great quantities of naval and military stores are shipping on board the transports, at Deptford.— Capt. YOUNG, of the navy, who belongs to the Transport Office, is indefatigable in his exertions to get the transports fitted for Sea ; and to have the stores put on board. The Treasury Journals are become impatient for the sailing of the Expedition. Dantzic, to be sure, has fallen, but then there are so many vulnerable points between the Streights of Gibraltar and the Baltic, it is mortifying that so much money, and so many men, should be lying un employed at borne. Some people think, that Mi nisters are not agreed upon a particular destination; but the followers of Lord CASTLEREAGH think that they should have four or five saings to their bow, and that it would be premature to settle that question, until the Expedition is at Sea, when it should shape the course direSed by existing cir cumstances, and for which wind and w.-ather at the moment should prove most favourable. The loud noise attending the Secret Expedition appears to have reached Holland. Letters from Rotterdam, received on Saturday, mention, that a gen. , ral ap. prehension prevails in that country of an invasion from England. The Isle of Walcheren was sup. posed to be the first ebjea of our attack, and ex traordinary efforts were makiag to improve the de fences of Flushing ; the inhabitants were dire2ed to be constantly supplied with provisions for six we: Its, and the bakers were ordered to be prepared with their current consumption of flour and wood for the same period. The Dutch General DsstoNc6Ati has been ap pointel Vice-Governor of the Haase Towns. We have received Paris papers to the 30th last, and Dutch to the 3d inst.
