The French Papers of Monday and the Etoile of Tues day have been received. Their contents arc unimportant. IV': have received the Dutch Papers to' the 6th instant Their contents are not of much importance. The Southwark Election commenced yesterday. The candidates, Sir Rosser Wirsote, Mr. CA Limo-, ■nd Mr. PoLIIILL, respectively addressed the electors, the former at considerable length. At the cicae of the poll last night the numbers were—for Sir ROBERT WILSON - 173 Mr. CALVERT __Alr. I'OLHILL 106 _ _ The right of c ' cetion for the Borough is vested in the inhabitants paying scot and lot (that is, being rated to and paying the parish taxes). The electors in 1818 amount ed to 3,500; and it is believed, from the number of houses pulled down in St. George's Fields, that the num ber of voters has not bees, much increased since that time by the various buildings in other parts of the Borough. The Mahlon Eection also took place yesterday. That borough reckons 555 inhabited houses, and the right of election is vested id freemen by birth, marriage, or ser vitude. The candidates in this case were, Messrs. LK N NARD, WINN, and QuiNTIN DICK. The poll, at the con clusion, yesterday, stood as follows : Mr. LIENNAIID Mr. WYNN QuiNTIN DICK By the latest accounts from Yorkshire, it appears that Mr. BETHEL Went to Leeds on Tuesday morning, to can vass the freeholders in that quarter, and it is supposed that the event of the election will depend, in a great measure, on the number of votes that he may be enabled to secure in that MITERS; but it seems to be the general opinion at the preacnt moment, in that part of the country, that no contest will take place even for the county. No contest, by the latest accounts, is likely to take place at Coventry, Worcester. or Colchester. At Leicester, it seercs, a little electioneering spirit has manifested itself among the ad herents or the different candidates. A Morning Paper of yesterday, evidently for the pur pose of having something that might appear exclusive, has published as old letter of the Consul of the Uaitcj States at Buenos Ayres, relative to the blockade of that State by the Brazilian squadron. This eorresppudence, which we received by way of the United States, a con sidereble time back, is so much a matter of course, that we should not now allude to it, if it had not ben made the subject of an attack upon the British Government. The Journal in question is distinguished for its blindness to every species of information which does not appear in ita own columns; and it is quite in keeping with its character to assume that Mr. llesxissox has done nothing, because nothing has come to the knowledge of the Journalist. It is an easy matter to say what im:onveniences attend a cer tain hue of conduct, but it is not by any means so easy to determine what line of conduct is to be pursued is order to avoid inconveniences of an opposite nature, and it is totally impossible to discover any line of conduct in any circumstances which shall be attended with no incouve niences, and liable to no objections. The question of Mare Liherunt and Mare Clausuna, is beset with difficul ties, and Ministers must avoid taking any avowed course which could be brought as an instance aqamst ourselves, to justify the proceedings or Armed Neutralities. The sub ject, we know, has, from the first, been under the particular attention of Mr. CANNING, and we can venture to assert. that every thing which it is proper to do in this case has been and will be done, at a time too, and in a manger, mu c h more likely to secur e t he object in view that , that which has been chosen by the American Consul.

Secretary to Government, Secret and Political Department. &c. &r. trte. Fort William. Sta.—The enemy defeated and driven from hit positions at i.in bike , Napatlee, and on the west bank of the Irrawaddy, as detailed in my despatches of the 4th and sth, 1, on the 6th inst. marched back with the Ist division of the army to the villages of Zeonke and Natalaen, upon the Nswrrie river, from whence the roads to Watteegoan and Neounbenseik branch off, and there I had ordered the Commissariat of the army to assemble. Aware that the enemy had been long employed in fortifying the hooka of the River from 31eaday to Paloh, it became an important consideration to endeavour to turn these positions, naturally strong and extremely difficult of access. For this purpose I determined to march upon Meaday with one division• by the route of Wattee. goon, Seeyangoon, Saintloop. and Tonkindine, turning the posi tions as hi‘th as Roney, while the division under the orders of Brigadier. General Cotton should march by the road of Nenun. benzrik, nearly parallel with the River, and in communication with the flotilla, on board of which I had placed a force consisting of his Majesty's Royal Regiment and.details, commanded by Bri gadier Armstrong, to act in' close and cos 'dant co-operation with the naval forces under his Facellency Commodore Sir James Brix. bane. From Tonkindine it was my farther intention to have turned Mesday by its left, and to have posted ones division of my army in its rear, previous to attacking it in front. Pursuant to this plan of operations I marched upon Watteegnan, wills the tirst d:vision, on .lie 9th instatit, directing Brigadier- Gmeral Cotton to commerce his march upon the 12th, by which arrangement the approach of the two columns upon Paloh would nearly correspond, and his Excellency Commodore Sit James Bris bane was to 'note forward on the same day. On the night of the 11th instant we were visited with a heavy fall of rain, which continued for 34 hours, to the great injury of the roads; out Commissariat has sustained a heavy loss in its trans or, and in spoiled and • damaged provisions, an evil of all others least easily remedied in my present situation ; and I lament to •ay, that nomerous fatal blastula's of cholera have occurred in both divi. skins of the army. Delay unavoidably ensued, and I did not reach Tonkindine till the 16:h Instant : on patroling to Malley, on the river, I found the enemy had abandoned Ida position at Paloh, and the expectation+ I had formed from the flank movement of the Ist division were fully confirmed. At Boallny we opened a corn municstion with the flotilla and Brigadier-General Cotton's divi. alon, the report of whose march I have the honour to enclose, which, with the other letters herewith transmitted, will, I trust, af ford the Right lion. the Governor General in Council a satisfactory proof of the consequences resulting from the operations of the Ist, 2tl. and bth, and the subsequent movements of his force. Finding that the enemy had retreated from /Watley with the greater part of him army, I, on.the 17th instant, moved forward to Tabboo with the advance--f# l. 4:boo, I directed the Right Hon. the oc:senor-General:a aril, under Captain Dyke, to push on towards Meade? by o , and feel the enemy's ad vance posts. The enemy bad evacuated the place, but at five miles beyond it, Captain Dyke came up with his rear, and took some prisoners, with a war-boat containing three guns • the cavalry having come suddenly upon six, while close under the bank of the river. The country over which the army has marched bears ample tes timony to the panic and dismay in which the enemy has retired, while the numerous dead and dying, lying ahcut the country. af ford a melancholy proof of the raise* y and privations which his troops are suffering. Il is loss in killed i . .nd wounded all the priso ners sfiirm to have been very great, and desertions to a great extent are daily taking place. Pantangoh and Alenoon are the flints that have been chosen for re-esembling the army. and in front of which I hope to be, with some part of the force, in the course of a few days, although some delay will unavoidably ensue before the state of the Commissariat will permit the whole force again to move forward. . . I have the honour to be, Sir, Your most obedient humble Servant, llead-quarter% Meadey, A. CA 31 PIM I.L, Major-Gen. 19th Dec. 1523. P.S. —I have just received Information that 3lelloon has been evacuated. To George Swinton, Esq. Secretary, Secret and Political De partment, &c. &e. Fast Wlll'am. Ste,—Adverting to my last despatch, I have now to state that the information 1 received, regarding the evacuation of 3lelloor. by the enemy was erroneous; certain information of his having rallied at that point reached me shortly after I began my march front Meriday, with the leading division of the army, and it was at the same time stated, that a Chief of rank had been sent up to Asa after the defeats at Proinc, for the purpose of representing to his Majesty the hopeless state of his affairs, and •he impossibility of our progr:sa upon the capital being arrested by any military arrangement.. On'the 26th ultimo, these reports were confirmed by the arrival of a messenger to the steam-vessel, under al! rg of truce. contain nicatin; that Holein Manghie had arrived at Me[loon, deputed by his Maim, the King of Ava, and with full powers to conclude a treaty of peace with us. In answer to this measage. I. in concur rcnee with the Civil Commissioner, sent Lieutenant-Colonel Tidy, and Lieutenant Smith, R.N. to the Buraiese camp, to ascertain what arrangement the King of Ava's Commissioners proposed making wit;l• us': a truce of 25 days was requested, and positively refused, as previously determined on, the abt.ve officers being directed to say, as was afterwards communicated in writing, that nothing beyond 24 hours would be given for the first metering with the Iturmese Commissioners, and that the truce was at an end as w oil as the British oflicers should have left the place. (In reaching !Beltran on the following 'warning. the 211th instant, I found the plece strongly occupied, and the river, on the enemy's side, covcred with boats, which they attempted to escape with, until a few shots from our guns (by which one oasis was slightly wounded) fired over the headaurt boats, sheared our determination to prevent it, and the attempt was given up. In the meals time I received infonna• don that the Diana steam yowl, the head-quarters of his Excel lenry Commodore Sir James Brisbane, was parsing the enemy's sts unmolested, and accompa.iieil by two liormese war boats, and althnstgh the enemy appeared throwing up entrenchments on the oppo-ite shore, and marching and countermarching his troops, as if making preparations for defence, I accepted his forbearance to the steam boat ass proof of his sincerity and desire to treat: hosti lities here ceased, and in the course of the do; a correspondence commenced, and led to negotiations which I earnestly hope wiil render this the last military despatch I shall have to make upon the war in Asa. I have the honour to he. Sir, Your most obedient hunible servant. A. CAMPBELL, 3lajor-(hen. Brod-gamier', Pantagor , ah, 31st Dec. 1825.

SlR—Having just read in the Time: of this dos what is called a a Protest of the united States' Charge d'Affaires at Buenos Ayres, against the blockade of that port and the coasts of that Republic by the forces of Brazil, and the comments of the Editor of that paper thereon. I tun at a loss which moat to admire, the areismenthm ad malierciii of the one, or ad iiiimilens of die other. Indeed, the false data given in the protest, and the false reason. logs deduced therefrom, are so glaring, that added to the question. able shape in which it comes, I should at once pronounce it a fa brication, and nothing short of a libel on the Envoy and his Go vernment and lam persuaded that you and your unprejudiced readers will be of the same opinion, when fully informed on the subjrct. IVithout entering into the juat ice or injustice of the blockading system, the abstract rights of nations, or raking up the ashes of the dead, the 311!an and Berlin Decrees, and the British Orders in Council, it is sufficient for my purpose to chew, that no thorough breil diplomatist could have written, much less published, such a precious doeument, unless, perhaps Talieyrand'a motto, Geaucoup d'Argeril, has found its way to South An erica. In the first place, according to the declaration of Commodore Lobo, which I have now before me, and a translation of which ap pearstl in all the newspapers of the day, " all the ports and c tarts of the republic of IluenosAyres,and al l those places on the eastern coast of the River Plate, which might be occupied (tzmporarils ) by the forces of the iald Republic, are put under strict blockade." On looking at the map of South America, I perceive that the republic of Buenos Apes has only one port and one coast, therefore perhaps the Brazilian commander was in error in saying all tile ports and coasts. But the author of this Protest has taken advantage of this mistake in the Commodore's manifesto, and has incorpo rated the coast of Patagonia as rtrt and parcel of the said Republic, for he says the maritime coast of Buenos Ayres extends 20 degrees of latitude !!! (This reminds me of a late celebrated letter in the Morning Chronicle, signed N., which stated that the Banda Orientnl was bigger than France, and c rosined innumerable rivers, navigahle for hundreds of tulles !! ! This notable Protest, therefore, 1 tin:same is the production of some near relation of N.'o, whereas, by the map. I call ot.ly trace about three from Cape St. Andre to Cape St. Ant ono. If the writer of the Protest means that toe River Plate runs 20 degrees indeed, I shall Lot dis pute the point with hint ; since, if it ran 200 degrees, it could be as easily blockaded a. if it run hut 20 miles. But, if the coast of Patagonia is meant, a single vessel is suffi cient to blockade the whole of that coast, if it were thirty. instead of firteen degrees ; for nature herself is such an enemy thereto. that she has precluded the necessity of any other enemy interdicting access to us only port that can be called a harbour, that of St. Julian. ItlSevident the Brazilian Commander could not have ccnsiiered Patagonia as part of Buenos Ayres, nor does it appear, by an, otfi aid document whatever, that the savages of that inhospi alle and desert country have ever sent Deputies to represent thou in the National Congress or Buenos Ayres, or by ary formal act cons!i tuteil themselvessubjects of the noted Republic of Lis Provincias linidas (Id Rio tie la Plate. Presuming, however, that this extensive coast is no blockaded by a large force, or that it in a paper blockade, I should wish the writer ut the Pretest to inform his suppased roomy-nen what Inas they have sustained by the interruption of their commerce with Patagonia. I presume he is prepared with an account of the nuin bee of vessels which Lave cleared out from the different porta of the United States for that country, or entered inwards from thence ; the quantity and value of the tnerchandiee exported and imported, in such vessels, &c. &c., in the present er any preceding year. Having thus shown the inaccuracy of the said Protest, I shall proceed to its absurdity. It objects to the blockade, solely because it is not rigorously en. forced; and that American vessels have been permitted, through forbearance or Mat•ention of the blockading squadron, to break the blockade; and this protest is sent to the commando of such squa dron. The result is easy to be foreseen ;no more American vessels will find their way to Buenos Ayres, or what he calls the port of Ensenada. Thee, as Junius observes, a man's beat friend may be his worst enemy. I should think his fellow.chisens would not much approve of such anti-Itlachiavelwn conduct, roe his Govern ment reward it, should it prove to be an authentic document. Nothing can be net.° degrading to the Editor of a public print than the suffering w; partialities or rejoices to bias his judg ment, and nothing n.ore derogatory to his dignity as a leader of public opinion than assumieg as facts what a little trouble, added to a little common sense, would coneinee him in a few moments were false premises ; and nothing renders his ratioeinations more contemptible than when they are discovered to be strung on false data : like the Custom I louse, whose piles were not well bottomed, his arguments must fall to the ground. The Editor complains of the British Consul not having entered a similar protest. For the tumour of Oki E-gland, I ant gut he did not t and my countrymen will no doubt think so too, atter the ex pound I have made. In the Times of this day it is taken for granted that the asser tion of the quondam Jonathan is true, and that all the ports of Iltienes Ayres, together with twenty degrees at coast, equal to 1.300 English miles, is blockaded by a single vessel of war, the Alois da Gloria, a hen in the same paper the Protest itself is ad. ere" , l l to his ExcellenrY Lobo, Vice-Admiral of the equadron of his Alajesty the Emperor of Dried, on board the corvette Liberal. And in that paper, only yesterday, it says, " This port (Buenos Ayres) cond.-des to he strictly blockaded, although several vessels have passed the squadron unitb. d;" and tl a same paper speaks of as action having been fought, a al of Colonist (directly opposite Burnt a Ayres, is B1111"atle is to Dover) being biped:ailed by the forces of the Republic, under that amphibious anintal, General, :dies Admiral Brown. If this said Admiral nr General is able to Wok ads Co'onia, surely he could easily raise the blockade of Buenas Ayres, and twenty degrees of coast, when only the 3latia du Gloria was employed on that errand I But into such absurtitics and contradictions will public writers ever run, when actuated by party feeling, or prompted by One word more, and I have done with Mr. Editor of the Times. Perham-0s it Is o:* such importuner •o this country that the coast of Patagonia, inhabited, as we all know whn nre a little conversant with voyages and travels, gazetteers, &e by a race of giants, and who of course use double the qu•ntity of cloth in a oat, or lor, e;. mere in a pair of pantaloons, that tinsel. gingerbread Brazilians do . should not be nominally blot katlNl—lee can l form his readers the amount of our exports and imports to and front that co ditty. or if not, on the next Meeting of Parliament, his friend Mr. J osep h H ama lay move fur an official return thereof, which I dare Ray Mr. Ilueltisson will readily grant, as it will consist of only one short ward--••• Nil."

There were no rallying weals, such as "N o Popery !'' although this cry was dictated by the placard s of t h e now Ceedelate. It deed, by far the greaser part of the per•ons ar.

The 111011 BAILIFF now advanced to the front of the Rustier, and exhorted the people to silence. He said it was necessary that the precept of the Sheriff' of Surrey, directed to him, for the des lion of two Burgesses, to represent the Borough of Southwark a the ensuing Parliament, 'should be read ; and also, the Act ageing Bribery. After this had been complied with, they would proceed to he nomination of candidate, torten which he would take • phew of hands. " If," said the High Bailiff," you will support me, 1 s al summit you. and then we shall he able to prevent any attempt that shall be made to throw us into disorder and collusion." (o am) The DEPUTY Heat BAILIFF then read the ' , recipe Crum the Sheriffof Surrey, directing the High Bailiff to preceed t o tae election of two Burgesses for the Borough of Southwatk, and also the Act against lirbety at Electirms. The ems' oath having been administered to the High H e ipw_ that Gentleman addressed the Electors and arid--" Fats will rear be pleased to nominate your Candidates." hlr.Sohomox Diostlil :hen came forward to propose Mr. Calvin as aca etiolate. The worthy Gentleman was, however, preened for sena time from addressing the electors, in consequence of the poise whi. h was occasioned by the crowd pressing forward towards the hueti..es, constaides having been atatiored to prevent their ad. vaneing within the limits suited for the electors as they came for ward to be polled. But on its being stated that it was usual is permit the people to stand near the hustings, the constable:lde etel in opposing their approach, and the electors having drawn tow aals he speak.re, and given time cheers, silence was obtained, Mr. S. Dee is again stepped forward, when a cry of " Sir Robert Wilson and Solomon Davis for ever 1" was raised anildtt loud laughter. Mr. Davis Mi. Ihe stood ben. re them as she selvage of Charles Calve?, Esq. (Cries of " Bravo !") It was Mea t 6 high I:ratification to him to meet the electors of Southwark, because he aid not believe a more independent net of men ever existed. Ile had lived now amongst them for more than 40 years, during the 'bol! of which time ne had uniformly supported the independence of this borough. (Bravo !) He was one of those, whom the year 1607 intraduced his worthy friend Charles Calvert so their rates. Although on that occasion they were not successful in obtaining hit return, yet they were so fortunate as to drive all the old rats in the borough away. (Loud cheers and some hisses.) In the year 1811 they seen came leeward and were successful. Then it was that they took the citadel from the enemy, and they had preserved the independence of the bormigh of Southwark ever since that period. (Clovis.) lie should be extremely sorry if any thing occurred to deprive them of that independence on the present occasion. He had himself always been the friend of liberty. (tireat applause.) 31r. Charles Calvert was also the friend of liberty, and of them all. That gentleman bad uniformly supported every measure which an .. calculated to do away everyorbnoxious Act. (Cries of " No. tie," " Yes, yes," cheers and hisses.) lie had been an enemy to the Slave ' l'r. tde, he had been an enemy to the Corn laws, and he had strenuously eought to tin away with the Assessed Taxes. He bud always supported the treasures proposed to put down these ober& roue Acts. It was ;retch a person that he (31r. Davis) wu prod to lave supported, for it was upon principle only that lie gave that support. Ile had been bred up arnottget them a Whig from his eatlicst years. His first principle was to love the Constitution as asserted at the glorious Revolution ; his weal principle was te love his King (cheers); but the last and grater' principle of all was, to love his country. (Loud cheers.) rpn these great principles he had always arid since he had been smog them ; arid he lived he should continue to do so to the end or lei days. He had a.witys been the friend of the Borough of aoutb• wok,* and so had Mr. Calvert. Indeed he knew of no one who Was more the friend of the poor and the di %ed, then that then fleman. (Cheas.) He would not detain them any longer at pre. sent, because, as a new candidate was about to offer hirosell, he should, m rat probably, have air opportunity of addressing them again. He should therefore conclude by yropoeing that Charles C.lrett, Esq. be nine of their Representatives In the ensuing Parliament. (Loud and continued applause.) Mr. Joint Eta as would take the Itberty of seconding the no. mination of Charles Calvert, Req., a gentleman who wu most anxious again, for the fourth time, to reetise the approbation sad suffrages of the electors of Southwark. In reviewing the conduct of Mr. Calve t during the penod he had re: resented that borough in Parliament, he considered it to have been throughout most in. dependent and merit proper, and that his general line of Winn was such as to meet tree approbation of his constituents. Upon this occasion a particular eireun stance had occurred, upon Mail he was desirous of saying a few words. The gentleman who bet nominated Mr. Calvert was of opinion that full concession should be granted to the Roman Witches. (Hisses and applause.) 1:pon this subject he (Hy. Ellis) declared himself of a different (minima (Cries of bravo! mingled with a few expressiota of disapprobation.) Cut still he considered at was his duty to support the nomi nation and interest of Charles Calvert, Erg. Be recollected that on the last election their Representatives declared upon the hustings that they would an all occasions obey the in structions of their constimeass Nothing had raised a doubt in his mind that they wo u ld h ave redeemed their pledge. rabic. rough of Southwark was in general warm and active on all public questions; but upon the subject of Catholic Emancipation, lie must Fay that Isis fellow-electors had been lather supine, and dot they had not discharged their duty to their Representative as day ought to have dote on this important question. It was their duty to have called a meeting ort the subject, and to hare conveyed thee instructions to their repreeentatives. In this instance it must be said that they had fur once forgotten the motto of the heroic Nelsen, " England expects every n:an to do his duty." He knew not whether he *should speak the opinion of the minority or the najotity of his fellow-electors, !misuse they had not expressed their opiciont but he must declare, that although he wished every toleration and the utmost liberty of conscience to be enjoyed by his fellow cow. omen, yet he did not want to see two descriptions of persons in the same House of Commons. He did rot wish that Turks are Greeks should be mingled together. They and the country, in ha opinion, were most sate as they wete. (Cheers.) But they were to rememaer drat the objection raised agars:et their late Represent:' tiles on this question was unfounded—thev bad notpledged 'heal ed% es by their votes upon the eubj?ca they had only voted to go into a Committee upon the question. liii it come before that Committee, he had no doubt that the result of the inquiry 'meld have been, that there was ding.rn making the coiaseseion required. He we'll(' not detain then any hieger, but just is °lsere that Oat ILO the fourth time which Alr. Calvert 'mowed to ask the honour of becoming their Representative; and when they leyked at the independent c on d uct o f t h at gent leni in in P.oliament, and cer• sidered the attention which 'e Lad ear ahem' to the Mare:eel this borough; when, also, they reflected WI his private character. and called to mind the various acts of bounty and benevolence he had done to the poor of Southwark, he (Mr. Ella) felt assured tea they would give to Cherie, Calhert a must triumphant turimitl the pelt.

It was not often they had the opportunity of evincing their opinion upon any particular questiens connected s ith the Star.
