To the GENTLEMEN. CLERGY, nod FRF.EHOLDk:IIS of tut. COUNTY of GLOUCESTER. GENTIAMEN, THE eticotit Erin; success which slat sttcnis the pri;:ress of my Caiivass, incrcoses the confidence whieh I hay" ..lrea ty etl.re,red in the result. Even iu districts mu,t ..t:iiect to the influeoce of the Friends of my Opponent, I find t respeetahle support, and am frequently assured of the most. am* :red wisiies of those who are compelled, rii.;ainst their own inclinatt .us, to vote against me. The county then feels the enwe bt be, what it really is—its own; and with this spirit so go-derails mid so strongly imprc=sed, we caninns fail of success. r.'hethe; a Coalition of Peers, in opposition to my Election, ./..se, or do's nut exist. and whether, if it does exist, such Coali tion be tritural or not, 1 leave as a question of fact to the deci semi of the County at large. Although a qualification arising frogs land is the well-lthown criterion for a Comity Elector, sin I the Laailed Interest is, So every point of view, entitled to the highesr respect; yet there are other interests, which it would he neither just nor possible to deprave of a great degfee oftifittence lathe return of a County Representative: interests de: the i r consequence fruat the exertions of respectable individuals, which have placed them in a situation of perfect and. honourable independe.re; and given them a deep end:se riots- toter,•st in the welfare of the Satre-1 mean the Commer cial and Manufacturing Interests ; and to endeavour to sepa rate :.r-se Internts from that of the Lauded Proprietors, would tea, weak in policy us impossible iii practice. They mutually assist and depetid on each other. Thetr is also another Interest, timugh emrateted with Lind, is not strictly comprised under the title of the. Landed Interest—l mean the Agricul tural Interest; an Interest fortunately fir this kingdorn, every day risiog more a , ll more into coosequence ; and in the respect able body of V coin:nay , forming one of the proudest pillars of this ialtdri. Of this most respectable body, I boast already it pun erful support ; and I feel the most perfect confidence, that thts support will daily increase. The highly respectabie so p port of the Clergy with which I am honoured, is im Interest which I am most proud to acknou lcd,4e, in addition to those I have Wire enumerated : add I lheg to assure them all, that io the event of my success, which their Atilited exertions leave me not the smallest reason to doubt, I shall consider myself not merely the Representative of the I, untied Estate, but of every other Interest to which I have bet arc idlu led; and th it my utmost exertions will be used to pas due attention to the interests of every luhabitant of the County, whether Freeholder or ilia. 1 have Inc honour to be, id ith the Ittgliest respect, Gentlemen, ' Your very faithful and obliised humble Servant, BERK ELEI WILLIAM GUISE.

LONDON: WEDS ESDAy . , VOISEIt 17, lalo. A Guttenburgh Mail arrived thin morning, bringing Gorman Papers to the 2d instant. Their principal contents are in another Part of our Paper. BERN noTre, it se ::ms, is • going forth With to Stoekh.ilm, and a splendid deputation of Smcdir4 Noslcs, or rather Staves, is set off to meet him on Nis road. The Diet is to proceed from Orebro to Stockholm, to take the oaths of fealty to Ben 000rrE, as Crown Prince. The imbecile old King will be there too, to swell the triumph of his anccessor. With all this sacrifice of theindelves, the Swedes arc, at last, actually swindled by Bra. riAoorre. Ile promised them a loan of eight Mil. lions of dollars, or employed the venal press (for Szzeden has its venal press as well as England) to persuade the 'poor state and Diet that he would lend Them 8 millions of dollars. :vow, however, it seems, be talks of no such thinz, 'and the very promise is treated as an unfounded rumour ! • IlEatiA porre may match, for ought we kifow, some of our jugglers here. It appears, by an article from Vienna, *that the Austrian Government is seizing upon the ecclesiastic revenues: The Bishop. ric of Goer, d, with a revenue of 300,CW Aus. trian florins, is given to the Ccissr d'Antortissonent (or Sinking Fund), and the present incumbent, the Arclibish'ep Coent de SALM (Go& help him !) is to have a pensien of 50,000 florins, fur his life. 'We do not mention this, froM any very particular pity to the Count Archbishop, but for the sake of a reflec tion which may as well be made. The sad effect of ivar, is beggary ; and the effect of beggary is, first of all borrowing, and when you can no longer borrow, the 'necessary effect is stea!ing. We do not blame Austria for the war in which she was list involved. The French Emperor had re.' solved upon her humiliation, acid she was to fall i f she did nut light, and, therefore, she was right in making at•least • a trial of lier strength. \Vt., do nut much blame her seisere of the church, property, for it is better the church should find the Goverirnent money, than that the pUor should find it all.' Bu it is tit to see what the result of. expensive wars is necessary for all here, who tqy in the 1 , 7,d suifer by it, to consider whe. ther thed wilt give their support and influence to the sTurin rassiox that will carry on a war as much withoNt object, as its ev.pences are without limits. We need not, indct•ti, ”lake this appeal to the PEortx—dhey too z..;etl know what they would dd, if they hail voice, or ihfilocticv, in the ques!ion of l'E.t.ce, or WA R ! They need no mo. alitur to tell them what thcji ought to do--their d';uant heart t , Its them that, and their moaning fami jrcs e cho the sound ! But, oar BENCH of Bisnors may he betteli:ed by advice on this subject. Let them k no w, that this Government, not only may, but t wist come to the necessity of seizing upon their re. venues, if tois war is carried on very much longer. D o th,y, the Ptrla eq of this laud, think our Mi. sisters have more nr ab.tinence fo'r bearancep than NA poLEoN ) or had as much as the • AUSTUSAN &MIMI ? FitaNeiS is ►tot but the STATZ must be supported, and his a pen. sive wars have rcduccd him to the necebsityof plum tiding to support it 'The salad effects malt Pfg cced here from similar fauses 7 --but with this dis tinctioo, that the WO** of Aorrar.t at least was necessary; and that that of ENGLAND is not only unnecessary, but is of all STUND GitATiriCATlOns, if it be one (and so it must be to some person), the most insane and ideot.like in its motive. Well / Will our, Prelates countenance such a war, till they must pay for the folly, by the plunder of the Church. We do not think they mean that. They will be grateful to those who gave them something more than bread to cat, for their tutorships, and accortt panying acts of tutorship ; but their gratitude they wish to be at the expeuce of others. When it touches self, it will melt away with the heat of the love of self. We know all this I But we mean to tell them, that they must come to the fate of the Count Archbishop of S.st.m, if they give their counte►►ance to this war much longer !—This is natter for their reflexion. We hear nothing forther.of my Lord Wttrasa. Tom. The public pulse is more impatient than ever it was on this subject ; and never had it so much reason. Ministers should let the public know all that has come to their ears; but, at least, we know that they have uot done this. It is strange, too, that no private letters from the army seem to have been received by the Gle4ner. Ministers, we sup. pose, expect that my Lord WELLINGTON Kill win next time—that is, not only beat the enemy, but beat him without the necessity of a retreat. In the mean time, it is uot so well to let the public into the secret of what hat passed. We are concerned to say, that the account brought to town this morning from Windsor is, that her Royal Highness the Princess Asteua remains iu the same bad stare she was yesterday. The Mercurius and Alert sloops of war sailed from the Nure yesterday, with about 100 sail of vessels, for the Baltic. The Crane stoup of war sailed from Cork the 11th inst. with four vessels, for the West Indies. The Edward, !':t.ttiv.r, from Virginia, has ar. rived at Itainsgate l whit the loss of two anchors and cables. The Latona fr igate, lately arrived from Gibral. tar, brought home 160 Germans, and 80 French. n►en, deserters from the French armies. On her passage a cunspiraq teas formed among the French. men to murder the Captain and Officers of the Leo na, and carry the vessel into a French port. They communicated their design to a German serjeant, by whom it was dovelopcd and frustrated. The French. men were put into confinement during the remain. der of the voyage. A lady of the name of LLOYD, who was sent to Southampton from Jersey, by General Doti, under suspicious circumstances, has been released by order of d►e Secretary at AVar. The Portuguese Government, from inability to pay the sum of 514,283,840 reis, stipulated in the late Treaty with the Dey of Algiers, as the ransom of 615 of their countrymen, have appointed a com. mittee of 10 merchants to receive voluntary dona tions, to be applied to this humane purpose. The canvass fur Common Councilmen has already commenced in the City, where the contest on St. 'ffiemis's D.'y is expected to be unusually warm. Five LICW candidates aresaid to be already announced. MASSEMA ) it is said, was seen in every part of the line in the late action, as well as all the other Marshils ; they encouraged the advance of the men. JUNOT and MORTIEtt headed some of the columns as they marched towards the ridge where Our troops were waiting for them. They had ar tillery, but few of their pieces could be brought to bear, owing to the difficulty and acclivity of the ground in &sac°, and the few that were, were but indifferently served. Ours, on the con. trary, planted on the ridge, did much execution. Thu enemy, unable to profit by their numerous ca. valry Or artillery, relied entirely epee numbers, aided by their discipline and steadiness, which were conspicuous in the order and firmness with which they ascended the ridge; no opposition was made to them till they got near the top of the ridge; they were then charged, and driven back with immense slaughter. Only one of the enemy's divisions reach. ed the top of the ridge, and that was soon dispos sessed 'of if by the 88th, tie:: 45th British, and the Bth Portuguese regiments. Lord "%YELLIN ,TON, in the beginning of his dis pa,cli, refers to a , evious dispatch of the 20th, mentioning the meets , . red lie had tid. , pted to collect the army near Coimbra, and if poesible to prevent the enemy from obtaining possession'of it. That dispatch was lost 'With the Other dispatches sunk when the French p'rivateer • engaged , the Lisbon packet ; hut it is said thht it mentioned some skir mislies to have taken place front the 15th, and added, that as the French advanced', the Portuguese villages were uniformly abandoned, and • every thing that could be serviceable' to the enemy Destroyed. There was nu smoke when our troops drove the enemy from the ridge of the Sierra de Buiaco ;• bay oleos only glittered in the sun. Our troopi rested such enthusiasm and lumness,&nd ptlehed their advantages with such celerity and precision, that tho whole presented one of the most magnificent scenes that imagination could possibly conceive of a spec. tack of this description. Major SiLvea, who fell in the vigour of life, while leading on the right wing of the 88th Regiment, to repel the enemy's attack at liusico, on the 27th tilt. which has been so favourably mentioned in Lord WxLLINGToN's dispatch, was descended of a respectable faintly in Wirichester. It is with extreme concern that we'understand he has left an' amiable wife, and four 'young children, to bewail the nn. timely loss of a kind indulgent husband and father, who had spent 17 years of his life in the active and perilous duties of his profession. . . . . . .... • GERMAN PAPERS, attittyto pAlf•] • Quint), Oct. 2.—lts Wiest' will s it Is said, leave this place for Stockholm tomorrow ; at the same time a deputation, composed of *larva Von Essen (as Rix Marshal), Count Hamilton, the Archbishop of Upsala,litc: will proceed to lied. singburg, for the purpose of receiving the Crown Prince, on his arrival in Sweden. It is also e*- pected that the Members of the Diet will adjourn' to the capital next week, in order to take the oath of allegiance to his Royal Highness. The repot ts in circulation some time since, respecting the gra cious intentions of his Highness, in advancing a !Pin of eight millions of dollars for the service of the state s appear to have no foundation in truth. Vienna, SEPT. 20.—M. Kouelgeb, Muter of the Court Chapel, has received from her Majesty the Empress of the French, a gold box, of the greatest beauty, containing 100 ducats. Her Ma jesty added to this present the very dattering assur. once, that when at her harpsichord she often thought of her master, and that she was obliged to him for being able to procure thn Emperor some l agreeable moments by playing on that instrument. plit :the same time her Majesty assured him, that for life he should enjoy the income which he rc. eeived when he gave her lessons. It is said that Count Henry Bellegarde, at present President of the Council of War, is to go to Paris with the title of Ambassador, because his Majesty bas given the military command of Austria to Prince Sch wartzenberg. The Committee of Dosignation for Ecclesiastical Property, fur the redemption of Bank.nutcs, is placed immediately under the Minister of Finances. It is said that the revenues of the Bishopric of Gourck, which aro of the annual amount of 300,000 Austrian florins, Kill be at;lniuistered by commission, and on account of the Gaisse d'Amur. tissemcnt, after paying a pension of 50,000 florins per annum, for the life of the actual Archbishop, Count de Salm, and 30,000 florins to his co.tiljutor. It was yesterday said the Turks had been beaten ; to.day it is asserted that they were victori. ous, having totally defeated the Russians, with the loss of 10,000 men, among whom weie seven Ge. nerals, but all these reports arc without dates, and do not mention the place of battle.—(Ateille du Nord, Oct. 2).

WARSAW, SEPT. 3....Arcording to a Decree of the Minister of Finance, all the almailacks,whether national or foreign, as well as all the .fewish books, are to be subject to a stamp. SMYRNA, Aue. 2.—The resolution which the Grand Seignior has taken, to place himself at the head of the army and march against the grand ene my of the Prophet, has awoke in Turkish Asia all the ardour of the first periods of Nlahometism. Enthusiasm is at the highest pitch. The Paellas have forgotten their rivalships, renounced their pretensions, and abjured their individual animosities in order to attend to nothing but the common data. ger, and fight under the standard of their menaced religion. All the proprietors, animated with the same zeal, furnish more men and money than was required of them. The islands of the Archipelago, Chipre, Mitylene, Candia, Rhodes, &c.
