The following is our answer to the article in the Joarnal des -buts of to-day : It is not true 'hat, in the final drawing op of the promised answer, the Turks wanted to slip in a clause for the restotation of the fortresses of Asia. This is one of the points to be treated of by the Commissioners of the two Powers, and which therefore are not to precede the oego t,ations, as the Journal des Debuts says. It it not true that the Most animated and sermon altercations retarded the answer of Turkey. It is not true that the ingsbar 4 i itiloirette speaks of negotiators appointed to treat with the Serrian Deputies. What is not doubtfal is, that in spite of the serious anti numerous difficulties with which the Jos mil des Debut: pretends to surround the negotiations, their Issue will be pacific. The plan of the Turks is to avoid at all events a war with the Russians, and the wish of Europe is for peace.

An these facts are stated with great apish • in the Centime/ of Liberty, a Brazilian Paper, which adopts a style more bold than any papers we have met with from that country since the overthrow of the liberal government. 1 The port of Patagonia is open 4 and from Santa Lucia up to Maldonado there is not a Brazil vessel of war, so that the Buenos Ayresna send over constant supplies in their river boats. The river is all open, and some foreign vessel enters Buenos Ayres every day, and they all declare they had lint met one of the £m. penes squadron. Many persons in Monte Video are attached to the patriots by various bonds and connexions. The newspaper above-mentioned contains an advertisement, with drawings of two death's heads, offering 4,000 milreas reward for the head of Rivera, and 3.000 for that of Laivalleja, Commander-in- Chief of the Eastern Province, without the bodies, these sums having been raised by subscription at Rio, and deposited for pay ment at Monte Video. Such Inhuman measures will tenth to over : throw the Imperial cause which they are intended to support—a cause which certainly now appears in a critical situation.

MINISTER TO LONDON.—Albert Gallatin, a whig of the revolution, and one of the most able men of the age, has been ap pointed the successor to Mr. King, at the Court of St. James. •It was expected that Mr. Brown, now at Paris, would have been transferred to London, and that Mr. Gallatin, so fami liar with our affairs with the French Cabinet, would have taken his place. This extraordinary appointment of a citizen of the old democratic party shows how unsettled are the views of Mr. Adams and his Cabinet. With the disappointments which many expectant% will feel on this occasion, we have nothing to do. It it is meant to conciliate mold ti 44 n and catch Pennsylvania, we have doubts of its suss . Far different would hare been the state of things had Mr. Adams, ab made such selettiuns, instead of th.oving Itimselt into the arms of the old federalists. Mr. Sanford was very confidently spoken ass Minister to London, for which his experience, fortune, and dr.- drigu'iated reputation, eminently finality him ; but Mr Adams could not afford to lose a friend In the Senate belles, he wishes to run him as Governor, next fall, in this State. These ext cytive favours come very slowly after many promise.. The country is now occupied, from one extremity to the other, with the important business of a General Election ; and though it is yet early in the contest, we may pretty ac curately perceive what is the touchstone by which the public arc disposed to try those who seek to represent them. ' Among other subjects, it appears that, in those quarters where the champions of Anti-Colonial principles have in fluence, the 'West India question has not unfrequently been brought into the field. It is our wish, and we hope our Practice, to discuss with candour every public question ; and therefore we cannot avoid remarking, that whilst we agree with, we believe, the far greater portion, even of the West India Planters themselves, in detesting slavery in general, and although we are desirous not to violate the liberty of Afri cans, we are at the same time anxious not to infringe upon the property of Englishmen. It is one of the blessings of the British Constitution that it recognizes the right of every portion of the empire to be indiscriminately represented in its Legislature. It can never be maintained that our Co lonial interests should not, in some degree, participate in this advantage. If it be intended, then, to legislate with justice, as regards the government of our West Indian pos sessions, we must ask, how this can be so adequately ef fected u by admitting to Parliament men who possess all die requisite details, and can furnish all the information entitled to credit on a subject, too apt to be misrepre sented by party, and too often distorted by prtjudice ? It is inconceivable that, in a case naturally difficult, and ren dered doubly so by the remoteness of the scene of action, men should be insensible to the advantage of having in the 4 3:•nate individuals whine local knowledge fits them to legislate with justice and with prudence, whilst their cha racter, their connexion in England, and C.- lc responsibility to their Constituents, are sufficient guarantees that they will also legislate with integrity. Those owners of West India property who reside in England, and whc aspire to resume seats in Parliament which they have long tilled with ho nour, are at the same time, in general, landed proprietors in this country. Their feelings and their interests identify them with both parties—they obviously stand as a con necting link between Parliament and the Colonies at large; they are the only authentic source through which the one can dispense impartial justice to the other ; and such Can didates can never find their connexion with the West In dies a ground of rejection with any elector, who has not first reconciled himself to the injustice of consigning a large portion of his fellow-subjects to be condemned un heard. CiTY, SATURDAY EVENING. There was a severe contest to-day between the Dulls and Hears, Ind there has been a very brisk contest In the Stock Market to-day, where party spirit hu raged with as much violence as on the hustirgs at Guildhall. On the opening of business there appeared •0 be a coalition among several of the dealers to increase the panic occasioned by the scarcity of money, and the consequent advance of Stock, and before eleven o'clock the speculations were carried to a grett extent. Consols for account, which opened at 84. fell to 40i, while for the first transfer nearly 200,0001. were sold at line. Re port' then became so prevalent of a fall in French Stock at Pill ie, that those who had bought at 1.114, were glad to get rid of their Stock at fill. Reduced, at the same moment, declined from 791 to N. In this state of the market, the speculators for a rise took all the Stuck that could be ebutir.ed at 801. so that by the middle of the day Consols advanced to what they were at the opening of the market. Iti the course of the afternoon some further attempts were made by the minor operators to &Tres" the Funds, but they did not succi.ed beyond 1 per cent., and at four o'clock 804 was the ncarest quotation otCunsols fur the first transfsr, and 130/ buyers fur the account. There was a slight depression in the Foreign Market this morning, bet it recovered in the afternoon to nearly the same quotations as to the early part of the day.

Yesterday his Majesty, attended by the Duke of Wel lington and other visitors, drove in his pony phaeton front the Royal Lodge to the Castle, where the King was re ceived by Mr. Wyattville, &c. who attended his Majesty over the different extensive works ; which ecculiid the King about an hour, when his Majesty drove to the Royal Lodge to dinner. Great bustle is anticipated here to-morrow. when the election commences. The candidates are John Rams bottom, Esq. and Richard Hussey Vivian.—The town has been very full during the last week. The terrace is crowded this afternoon, where the excellent baud of the 63d Regt. are playing. The Duke of York rcturued to town on Saturday from Froginore. Saturday the Duchess of Gloucester and the Princess Sophia visited the Prineen Augusta. Saturday the Earl and Coutittss of Liverpool lift town for their seat at Coombe-wood.

Sir Philip, we believe, is an advocate for the Corn Lawq, which, in some degree, accounts fee the animosity of the people."Ncw YORK, MAY S.—Kt:dm—l: tl.is eminent tragc dian arrives front Charleston in the course of the day, he will, if in health, appear this evening in Richard.

The polling commenced this day at nine o'clock in the morring, and was kept up with great spirit until three. At that hear the ertu.bers were snnotnced to be as follows Aldermen Thompson 912 I Mr. Ward 72 Aldermen Waithman 84 The Lord Mayor - 700 Alderman Wood - 822 Alderman Garrett . 281; When the acclamations of the friends of the different Candidates had in some degree subsided, Mr. Alderman Oarratt presented himself on the hustings. He was received with shouts of " Off, off—withdraw," and other marks of disapprobation. He com menced by observing that he had received permission from the oilier Candidates to address a few words to them, and he hoped that the circumstances in which he had unfortunately been placed would be considered as some apology for thus obtruding himself out of the regular order in which it would be his title to be heard. He felt anxious to explain, to their satisfactioa, and for the in formation of his friends, some matters which it seemed tad been taken in • different point of view by the Lord Mayor and his Honourable Friend. Nothing could, he conceived, b.. more grate. ful to the mind of man than to have the opportunity of placing his character before die eyes of his friends in the light in which he felt it ought to be viewed, and it was to accomplish that end that he now sought their attention. It was his wish to place ever thing respecting the late occurrences on the proper footing which they ought to occupy. It appeared that the Lord Mayor, whom he was happy to call Isis friend, /0 a private conversation which he held with him some months ago, bad, amongst other things, coked hint whether it was his intention to stand as a Candidate for the City at the ensuing Election ? What the answer had been he need not state; but it scented that his Lordship had taken a very different view of the mature of that answer, and construed a general observation, made under particular circumstances, into a distinct and positive pledge that he would not at any time become • Candi. date. Ile kit convinced that the Lord Mayor and Isis friends be. lieved most conscientiously that such was the meaning of his declaration; but he trusted the Livery knew enon.,,h of him to be satisfied, that if he looked upon that conversation in the same light Its they had done, he never could have been found to obtrude him self as he had done upon their notice. (Applause.) Ile 'ruined they knew him too well to suppose that lie could now do any thing which might have ,he eftet of tarnishing the charac ter he had acquired among them In the offices he had had the honour to support. (Cheers.) An explanation had, however, taken place; and, as it appeared that the Lord Mayor and his friends did consider the conversation to contain a pledge, he felt himself bound to withdraw wholly front the contest in which they wet,: engaged. (Lout) cheering.) Ile could not do so, however, without expressing to those friends who had given him their spon taneous and unbiassed support, his grateful settee of their kindness and generosity; and he hoped, as the differences between him and his friend had terminated without any alteration of the friendly feelings which before subsisted between them, that the whole con test would still be conducted with the same good humour and good feeling on the part of all the candidates. (Applause.) Alderman Trion Paoli next came forward, and was received with considerable applense. He-begged she Livery to accept his most gratefulscknowledgments and heartfelt thanks, for the pre eminent situation in which they had placed him on the poll ; a si. tuation which was the more grateful to his feelings, .because it was not procured by any promises or professions on his part, but was the effect of their kind and considerate estimate of his conduct during the time he had a seat In Parliament. (Cheers.) He trusted they would continue their exertions in his favour, and should he be so fortunate as to obtain the object of his ambition, which their kindness left no reason to doubt, it should be his con stant endeavour to support their interests as traders, and to main. tams their rights and privileges as citizens of London. (Great applause.) Alderman WAITHMAN then presented himself amid the trium phant shouts of his friends. He said, that when he yesterday had the honour to address them, he told them that he did not consider his unexpected situation upon the poll as any criterion of public opinion upon his conduct, and that be would not have been disap pointed, if he hail been even much lower than they had that day placed him by their exertions. He said, too, that Saturday was an inconvenient day for the trading classes to leave their business, and that, consequently, popular candidates hail always found them selves falLon that day in the number of their voters. Ile had In vited them to counteract by their efforts the effect of that circum stance, and he had now to thank them for having done so, and for having placed him so much higher on tite poll than he had any rea son to expert. No matter, however, what might be his situation • on the poll, us long as he had an assurance of poseessing the good opinion of his fellow-citizens, no distinction of height could give him any greater satisfaction. He had no more to say at preset:: than to request that those who had been all day in attendance in support of his interests, would now separate as quickly as porible, and each man repair to different quarters and canvass for him with all his might. (Cheers and laughter.) They had the power, and if they could be induced to use it, they might put in whoever they pleased. Ile thanked them for the support they had hitherto given to his cause; he had adopted it on public grounds and from public feeling, and the triumph, if they could achieve it, would not be the triumph of the individual, but of independence. (Cheers.) He had taken no part against any other candidate. Ile had, he trusted, stated fairly the grounds on which he 'ought their favour, without depreciating the merits or preteasines.of others; and he had now only to say,lest he should think be meant it jocularly,that it was his most earnest request that every man might canvass with ■ll his power; with such an exertion they could not but Anticipate an effectual triumph. (Great applause.) Mr. Alderman WOOD was received with load cheers, inter mixed with a few hisses. He Paid that he fed highly grateful to the Livery for the honour they had done him but whether he was to be tit the top, or in the middle, or anywhere else on the poll, was a question for them to determine., So that he was safe in the House of Commons lie should be thsnkful, there to advocate the cause of the people, and of true and irmependent principles ; for without these a seat in Parliament would not be desirable to him. When he had yesterday told them that his only desire was , to serve them, and that he had always been zealous in their cause (" Aye, and honest too," exclaimed a friend in the cause), he was proud, indeed, of the justice which they were pleased to favour him with. He deflid any man to impute to him with truth any breach of faith or deviation from his principles. (Applause.) He ' knew now that he stood as well with the Livery, after serving them for three Parliaments. as he old at any moment of his life: He had this day polled 161 more votes than he received on the second day of the last election. (A pp'auee.) Its mentioned yesterday that this day's state of the poll would sliew he had done his duty. (Bravo ! and cries of " You always did.") Indeed their honest faces had so told him during the day, and he was glad that the time of merriment in the sixth hour had come upon them. (Laughter.) Every body looked grave and quiet for five hours, and it was time now to have some merriment. Ile wished them now a good evening. As to-morrow was the Sabbath, and a day of rest, he would take his leave of them until !Ilontlay. In the mean time he hoped they would enjoy purer air than the Hall afford-A; and during their enjoyment employ themselves in canvassing for him, as they were called upon to do fur his worthy friend (Mr. ♦lderman I(aithinan) who had preceded him. (Cheers.) Alt. WART) then addressed the Liverr, amidst loud cheers and still louder hisses. He observed. when he had the'hononr to appear before them yesterday, that he did not ret•.ard the state of the poll vs any evidence of the estimation in which his cause was held by the voters, and that he telt confident the expression of opinion on the next day would be much more favourable. That anticipation had been juatilied by the event. for lie had now the pleasure of see. ing his name placed higt-er than it was ymertlay. (Cheers and hisses.) He could not but look upon that circumstance as a proof that from bzcoming better acquainted with him they, had acquired • better opinion of him. He entertained no donbt that the feeling of good sill would increase, and that during the text week he would hate to boast a much greater degree of their favour. Ile respected the oh adage, ,• Slow and sure, and if he but crept up on the poll every day as he had done that day, he wan pretty con fide= or obtaining the honour of being one of their Representatives in Parliament. (Cheers and hisses.) lie perceived that they seemed like brevity in eloquence ; (laughter) he would not there fore trouble the ti longer than to thank them most sincerely for ths _favours tile; had confined upon him- (Applause.) The Lotus MaYoi: next came forward, and was well received. He said that the duty had now devolved upon him of addressing them, to return thanks for the support which they had been kind enough to bestow upon him, and more particularly for the large number of votes which they had spontanemisly given him on this day's log and which exceeded flint obtained by the highest candi date on the second day of the last election. Ile repeated his thanks for their kind exertions, and (loin the number of promises which be had received, he had no doubt lie should soon he placed in that situation upon the poll which would furnish the highest gratifica tion to bis feelings. When he considered the extraordinary exer tions Made this day by his opponent., lie was not surprised at the result t but he assured the Livery that, at the beginning of the week, he had every reason to expect the efforts of his tiiends would be crown. with complete success. To the wishes of the Livery he bowed with the UtPlO3: deference, and hoped that the result, what. ever it might be, would redound to their credit, their honour, and benefit. (Applause.) After what they had just heard from Mr. Alderman Garnett, he should refrain from oinking any remark ' which could he misconstrued personally by that Gentleman—still he could not call what was wrung right, and must complain now, and at all times, that he should have been *sinirled out as an abject of hostility, not by Mr. ;:slderman (arratt, but by some of his friends. How had he deserved that treatment at their hands? (A cry of " No, no.") Ile repeated—in what had he offended them? Would not his psi itic conduct hear to he tried by the tort of theirs? (Applause,) Why, the i,had they armed against him? Ile had filled :he s i tuat i on o f Chief lagisTrate in an season of great distress, difficulty, and danger, and had he turned his back upon the measures called for by the commercial or trailing Interests of 'the community during their late embarra.smer.ts ? (A cry of " No.") He repeated, tkat he most complain of ti.e course taken by the friends of Alderman Garrott, which certainly had had the effect of impairing his (the Lord Mayor's) imerests. This very day thirty votes hail been polled for :4 r. Aldettilati Ciarratt, which were previously promised to hint. This, surely, was not fair.' (A cry of " No.") lie disclaimed all personal feelings on the pre. sent occasion, and certainly spoke snore in smarmy titan in anger, (Applause ) lle had heard with pleasure, however, what hod this day fallen from his friend. an I expec:ed now, that those who were disposed to promote his (the Lord Mayer's) interests, would assist him heartily. (A pplauae.) The business was then adjourned till Monday. Mw10•0 , 4 , ....r...~-.r.w~ . ~ . `..~ SOUTHWARK-SATURDAY. The contest was carried on with lees spirit than on any former day, and fewer voters were polled than on any day of the Election, with the exception of the first. At the close of the poll, this day, the numbers were—For C. Calvert, Esq. 1,1511 ; Sir Robert Wil son 1.521 ; Edward Polhill, Esq I.l2o—Majority in favour of Mr. Calvert, 491 ; in favour of Sir Robert Wilson, 401. It will be perceived, by the state of the poll, that Mr. Po lhill has gained thirteen, on the polling of this day, over Sir Robert Mr. Cotter's's., on the announcement of the numbers by the High Bailiff, came forward to return thanks. Ile was now confi dent of Om result,— and the thanks. which he bad on each repeated occasion to offer them hitherto, would be soon changed into con gratulation. (Applause.) He had said he was confident, and he would tell them why he was so. The greatest number that had ever polled at this election before was 2,774—and on the present occasion there were polled 2.758 voters. This might not please MT. Polhill, but it ought to satisfy him that he had not the slightest chance ofauccent. ti he were to obtain all the votes that could, or would poll at this election, it was his ( Mr. C.'s) conscious belief that he would not succeed. (Here Mr. Bishop, one of Mr. Pol. hill's Committee, smiled and whispered something to Mr. POllllll.l lie (Alr. C.) perceived some smiles upon the countenance of the prompter—they all knew there never was a farce without one. (Applause.) He regretted to hear that some disturbance had oc curred on the preceding night ; he hoped and besought them that there should be no repetition of it. Although he was confident of success, he entreated his friends not to relax in their exertions until their final triumph was accomplished. (Applause.) Sir }Watt's. WiLsos then came forward, and was received with the warmest bursts of acclamation. Ile was apptehensive he might not be reherded as a good prophet, for he had predicted that the party opposed to him would have given up the ghost; but, con trary to his and their expectations, he had survived the night. (Applanse and laughter.) If the head of t h e party was submitted' to a craniologist, it would be discovered that it had the hump of perseverance ins prominent degree. ( Much laughter.) Although not quite extinct, they would soon erne to snot the vital air. He saw despair masked upon their countenances—they could bear ' the contest no longer. (Loud cries of "No! no !") Whenever his opponent should depart, he (Sir Robert Wilson) promised eget he would no longer disturb his dosi. The contest would be soon over, and when it was completed, the friends whom he saw -before him would hare an opportunity of calling ta. mind the present seine—whenevet they should enjoy a pipe in one hand, a pot of Calvert—the best l'alvert. gentlemen !—ln the other. and the representation would be perfect if there was a picture in the corner, ',representing a soldier shouldering his musket, chewing how " battle-fields lout been lost and won." (Applause and much laughter.) Then they would have before them a representation of the principal movers in the present agitated acme ; and he I would hope filet on such an occasion they would not forget to drink his and Mr. Calvert's health. (Cries of ",we will, we will !") lie was surprised at the continued perseverance of his opponents. Whilst that party—that implacable party—nay, whilst a shadow of it continued to haunt the Bemugh„ he pledged himself to visit it with all his might—s party which aimed at domhicering, with whom moderation produced no useful etlect, nor right conduct and right thinting any beneficial influence. On this occasion, I:owever, their power had been combatted, and, still more, their weakness ex posed. (Applause.) It might be said, that he spoke in the elated pride of victory--and a victory he certainly thought it to Iss. Their ' party (for so he would consider them) aimed, utisuccceafully, to re. cover that usurpation of power which, if they obtained, they would exercise, as they had before, with arbitrary insolence. They were bound and regulated by no principle of reason the advancement of knowledge and the progress of education were disregarded by then); and of the evil influence exercised by those %Ito had not the advan tages of education, they had a specimen in the manners of the Rus. Sian nobility, before the last fifty years, and before civilization and knowledge were spread amongst them. The vassal of the Russian nobleman said to him, " I am thy dove, take off my head ;" to which the master. in his merciful humanity, replied, •• No, I beg you will keep it on." Such was the politeness and huma:tite of those who were ihe supporters of arbitrary power. lie (Sir R.tr.); detested that species of power, in whatever shape it appeared—whe ther in the nobility of Russia, or in the selfish aggrandizement of the party in the Borough of Southwark, who were the advocates of monopoly, the supporters of every abuse, and of every system that enriched themselves and impoverished others. With that party he would never make a compromise. (Applause.) Ile would fight them fairly and openly, and he would now, as he had boom, conquer them. (Cheers.) They were determinedly opposed to any inrova. tion to correct these abuses. This party reminded him oft. bods- of monks who were in the South of France, who established a fond I which enabled them to afford themselves eight meals mday. The Bishop of Lianois happened to pass by the convent of these monks, and besought of them to diminish this number of meals at least by one ; they astinitted that it was physically possible for them to do so, but that it was an innovation on their system, and must be resisted. (Much laughter). So it was with the party opposed to them : however great, however numerous the above were, they would not consent to correct one of them ; for correction was in. notation. (Cheers and liughter). The lion. and Gallant General proceeded to remind then) of the former contest with Mr. Barclay. Oo that °cession only 1377 voted for hint ; on the present he had already polled 1521. (Cries of " Owing to a coalition"). Be it so; it is a coalition of public principle and public virtue in the cause of public freedom, and I glory in it. !Continued cheers). As to the lion. Candidate opposed to him, he did not mean to speak disrespectfully of him ; but he regarded him as a cipher in the hands of the party he had already designated. Ile would now I call their attention, and he requested it earnestly, to a document which had come into his possession, which, independent of the I station he occupied on the poll, would lose to his opponent this election. He would read it to them; it was to this effect:—" Carter and %Vol. Bryan have promised to bring up twelve voters between this and to-morrow, otherwise they will not be required to be paid." And it was farther stipulated, that the first earnest of the pestilent should be made good at the Tuns, the Committee Room of 31r. Polhill. .... A Gentleman wearing Mr. Polhill's colours, exelsimeti—" An enemy's spy in our camp." (Laughter, and loud expressions of indignation). Sir H. WlLsoff proceeded. This document was signed by Mr. Day the Secretary of Mr. Politill's Committee. A ruffianly-looking person, who wore Mr. Polliill'a emblematic riband, here ‘ehetnently and repeatedly exclaimed, •' It is talse ! it is false!" Sir It. WI r.sorr paused for a moment, and, turning round to. wards doe place from which the interruption proceeded, said. •` Who dares to say that I have cm spoken that which is false ?" The cry was not repeated ; and af.er glancing • look of contempt at the miserable object of hie indignation, proceeded. He said, the charge, and the quarter from which it pr3ceeded, were too con. temptible for hint further to notice it. (Cheers). The document, he would repeat, he could produce to any elector; and he was assured, by a most respectable gentleman, an elector of Southwark and a 31agistrate, that the signature was that of 31r. Day. The person who had occasioned the previous interruption here cried nut, " Will you swear to it ?" This insolent remark was passed over with silent contempt by Sir Robert Wilson ; but pro. duced the loudest expression of indignant feeling from the assembly towards the individual who uttered it. Ile was assailed with loud groans and hisses, which he bore with the most apathetic in. difkrence. Sir R. Wiesen/ proceeded to call the attention of the electors to the charge which had been brought against him for having gone to Spain. Be it remembered that he went there to support no isolated cause, but to support the cause of general freedom and of humanity. And for having engaged in such a cause, he merited the acknowledgments, and even he would say, the gratitude of his constituents. But in going to Spain dial ha disc. t his duty to his constituents ?—No. Before he left this country, he nut only secured the promise of a friend' (31r. Laitibton) to co-operate with his lion. Friend and Colleague ;Ale. Calvert) in whatever concerned the local interests of the Borough of Southwark, but he had done more—he had actually placed his resignation in the hands of a worthy Elector of Southwa:k, and he was surprised to have understood from that gentleman, by a letter which he received from him in Spain, that his resignation was not accepted by them. (Loud cheering.) Away, then, with the charge of his having deserted his duty to them 1 He had only left this country in obedience to what he considered a duty—in sup port of the principles of civil and religious liberty—not in support of the Pope; and here he would say to the Candidata ( nr.. Pol. hill) who himself title day cried out " No Popery !" that the cause in which he (Sir R. ‘Vilsot) had been engaged was, to oppose the domination of the Pope in Spain, and to rescue religion thee from the arbitrary authority he sought to exercise over it. This was fully shewn by the refusal on the part of the Pope to receive Villaitueva, who was appointed Ambassador to Rome from the then Govern ment established by the Cortes, because the Cortes sought to limit and restrict lois rower and authority in Spain. Let it not then be said that he was friendly to the Pope, for he had aided in the effort to put down his arbitrary domination in Spain. (Cheers.) Ile begged to remind the electors, on whom he feared he had trespassed too long, that political power was like military possession —it could only be secured and preserved by perseverance and by skill. He minted that their perseverance would not be wanting to secure what they had already almost accomplished. Dean Swift bad remarked, that he never saw anything so joyful in London as the faces of those whom he saw in in:writing teaches (a laugh); but he did not then see such a joyful scene as the pre sent—a scene whiz!) exhibited free and independent electors, adopt. log a Representative—attached to him on principle—supporting him against opposition—and in despite of that opposition reseating him in that bight place in their confidence into which their volun. tat y chaice had first adopted him. Mr. Pobriter. next came forward. lie received considerable in terruption in the course of his address, which he bore with great good humour, It was said that he wore despair upon his counte. itance—he was not aware that he did—v. - rain!), he did not feel any. Ile requested the electors might not be deceived as to 'he number,' who were yet to poll. He begged to inform them that there were as yet 1,600 unrolled voters ; and, fur his part, lie felt confident of ultimate success. (Hear, hear.) It was his determination to keep tile poll open to the last minute, and to poll to the last man. An accusation had been brought against hint fee having cried " N o Popery." He admitted that he had done so ; but had not others cried "No l'ollaili!" and was not lie as good as the Pope? (Laughter and confusion.) Again and again he would say, "No Popery!" he avowed the sentiment, and was not ashamed of It. It was also said that he was au untried man ; but his father was a tried num (much laughter); and he proposed to follow in the steps in which his father had walked. Ha was a supporter of Administration. He ad mired the principles of Me. Pitt. Let the electors otoserve what were the performances of thoee who were so loud in their proles. sions. What dad Charley do when he got in? Chalky had always been an enemy to taxation, hut when he got Into power he laid on more taxes than either Lord North or Mr. Pitt. Ile doubled the income tax a month after he had got in.! (Loud eries " • ►ery popular tax to incre Ise.") He raised it from live to six per cent. This *hewed that those gentlemen were not always the same in power that they were out of it. (Much confusion.) As to the letter which had been adverted to, he would only say ha knew nothing of it • he believed it to be " a weak invention of ihs enemy." and so he trussed it would be proved to be. (Increased confusion) Ile regretted to perceive that they were not disposed to bestow a patient hearing upon him. Paul Pry made all apology when he intruded, but they treated him with very little ceremony when they interrupted him. (Laughter.) He hoped he should have triter opportunities of addressing them in the course of as election. The Meeting then dispersed, and the polling, it was announced, would be renewed on Monday (this slay) at nine o'clock. - . - - LIVERPOOL XhECTION. The following speech was delivered by the Right non. William Huikiwi), in the Exchange News room, on his arrival in Liverpool, on Saturday last:— " Gentlemen and Brother Freemen,—For this warm and most cordial reception, which I can only look on as an additional poet of that generous kindness which I have always experienced et your hands, allow me to return you my grateful and sincere thanks. My endeavour, as one or your late Representatives, has always been to consult the interests and to promote the prosperity of this great community. If I have been guilty of error (and I undmtand there are some among the Freemen of this town who think I hare erred), for those errors I must entreat your indulgence. f. tt, anti, I explain the principles on which I have been guided M the rne s . Ares to which those individuals object, I trust that from the British feeling which actuates the Freemen of Liverpool —a feeling of justice to a party unheard—l shall receive credit for haring ea. deavoured to do my duty. If those who are under misconception respecting the manures which I have advocated, and which they deem prejudicial to their interests, will come to the hustings on Monday morning, to hear my explanation of the views by which I have been actuated, they will, I trust, no longer entertain that jealousy, or labour under that misapprehension in relect to my conduct, • kith, on the occasion in question, I am sorry to under. stand, are now entertained in some quarters. In tendering to you, Gentlemen, the renewal of my services, I should be sorry, whether I continue your Representative, or that your confidence be trans. fewest to some other Candidate, to remain under any misconcep. lion ; and I therefore do claini(and ft is the only favour I now ask), an opportunity of explaining what my conduct has been, and of showing to those who object to it, that I have endeavoured to be their friend, and, if they will hear me, I do not despair of proving to them that lamso in fact. Gentlemen, fatigued as I am, after oolong ■ journey, and so rapidly perforated, ► trust you will ex. cute 'Me from saying more than that once more I beg of you to accept fry best acknowledgments for the llattertng reception which I have met with from you all, on my arrival at Liverpool." MEETING OF THE FRIENDS OF GENERAL GASCOYNE. Friday, a Meeting of the Friends of General Gascoyne took place, agreeably to ()Wylie notice, at the Golden Lion, Dale.street. Soon after one o'clock, about two dozen gentlemen, members of the General's committee, and about Wry or sixty mechanic's, having asoembied in the great room of the Inn, Mr. Alderman Wright moved " that Mr. /Win do take the Chair," which was retested with acclamations. Mr. Alderman Bor.r.rw then advanced to the head of the table, and paid, as they had done him the honout of placing him M the Chair. it was his duty to state to them, that the object of the present meeting was to consider of such arrangements as might be necessary to secure the re-election of General Gascoyoe. 31r. Alderman %Voiotia. then addressed the meeting. Mr. Thomas Palls seconded the resolutions, which were tarried by acclamation. Mr. I'arr was then, on the motion of Mr. Alderman Wright, elected Treasurer, for receiving subscriptions and defrayirg dui gal expenses of the General's election. ENTRY OF GENERAL GASCOYNE. Friday. agreeably to the notice issued un Tuesday last, by the committee of the working trades, which we have given 'bore, a concourse of men of almost every trade in the town, assembled in Williamson-square, and about two o'clock the number collected, amounting to about 15 or 1600, some in their best ati;re, but the greater part in their working dresses, has: ing apparently but just de. sated from their occupations, and nearly all decorated with light blue rihands, or favours of the same colour, in their hats, or on their breasts, formed in procession, with twenty or thirty flags, and three bands o f mus i c . A t t h e appointed signal, Ills whole moved off in the route prescribed, down Scotland Road, to the boundaro stone of the town, where they halted.— A boot three o'clock General Gascovne, who had remained at the house of Mr. Alttersnal Rollin, at Fazakerley, attended by his son, drove up in en open barouche, drawn by a pair of horses. The Generarsappearance was hailed with repeated cheers, the horses were immediately removed from the carriage, and a number of the People joining t wethcr, proceeded to draw it into the town. A body of mechatvcs, with a military band of nitrate, formtd the van, in a e rentse or which wet borne a large square silk bon. ne-, wi h the 1'0,.1 Arms splendidly blazoned on &dark blue field; then tollowed Gcnen 1 G tscoyne with his son, in on open barouche, drawn by the people, then came. ATha r ge'sguare silk banner, with the Shipwrights' arms. the Almshouse. of the Liverpool shipwrights' Society, and whir de. ♦ices, appropriately emblazoned on a white field. Members of working trades, six in front, with a variety of flag., at different intervals of the column, among which we particularly observed— A green flag, motto, " The incorruptible shipwrights ;" A light blue fl tg, motto, " Ciascoytte fur ever;" A plain light - blue flag, surmounted by a model of& friga:c, with topmasts pointed and dressed in colours; A large flag of various devices, motto, " Canning for ever ! and success to the Lau India trade." A large faded pink flag, motto (oddly enough), " Plumpera for Sefton.' The banner of the Tobacco-cutters, a splendid new banner, richly emblacaned. A large faded pink flag, motto, " Hodgson and Freemen's rights for ever !" ' The Town and Trade of Liverpool r The remainder were chiefly old elec:ioneeri • flags, used by the trades, which, at a former election, supported Lord Sefton. The column, as itjpassed down Lord -street, appeared to consist of from 1600 to 2000 persons. The fineness of the day drew thou sands of spectators into the %meta in the lire of the procession, which moved along with the most perfect quiet, the bands alter nately playing '• Britons strike home!" and other airs. The only expression of feeling vented by the column, in our observation, were three cheers, followed by partial- groanings and hootings, ss the carriage of the General tra,ersed the apace between the office of this paper and that of the Liverpool Mereirry. The spectators, ni far as we could observe. bolt in the windows and in the street, pre served an entire neutrality. On reaching Ranelagh-place the carriage drove up to the door of the Adelphi Hotel, where the General and Ida son alighted, sod were received by Mr. Al.lernian Wright and the gentlemen com posing the Committee for conducting the General's election. The people with their banners formed into a solid square in front of the hotel, and, with the concourse of spectators drawn thither, soon filled the entire area of Ranelagh.plant. Repeated call having' been made for the General, Mr. Alderman %Fright presented himself in the balcony of ono of the drawing-rooms, and said that as soon aa the General had rinsed his mouth he would ad :teas them. Shortly afterwards G - neral Gascoyne appeared 'on the balcony, and proceeded to address the crowd. Mr. Alderman Wright also spoke. %Viten Mr. Alderman Wright had retired, a call was made from the crowd for •• Major Gascoync !" which being weal times IC. rdored,_ Mr.GASCOVNE (a younger son of the General) presented Min• self in the balcony, and was received with great acclamations. He informed the me nirg that lie was not Major thiscoyne, but his brother, and in the 31,kior's name he thanked them fur the kind to. tendons whit h they had manifested towards him. The profer,siet.vi cvocaiuns of his brot!.er so lolly occupied his time that it sq uid be impossible for hint to devote that degree of attention to the dis charga of the duties of a Member of Parliament, for the boruogo of Liverpool, which the inter sts of his constituents would I! Ci CS. tardy require. He mute, therefore. on the behalf of his brother, beg leave to decline the honour so flatteringly proffered, and t f which he would ever retain a proud but grateful remembrance. (Loud and repeated cheers.) H e begged their acceptance of his best thank* for the attention which they had shaven to himselt, , and his warini at gratitude fur their kind and flittering remition o f his hither. lie then bowed and retired, amidst the elicers and plaudits of the assembled multitude. PRESTON ELECTION. IDAY EVENING, 4 0 9 Cit. ocx. I commence, as meet is, with the candidates.—Tbese are. AIL Hanley, known to the public by some manly and rensible spetcheo in the House of Commons, He comes in un the Derbv and Aris tocratic interest, and is exnected to be returned triumphantly. Ile is said to have expended 3,000/. already. He disdains all coalition with any of the other Menibc-s, and stands on his own principles. The second, Mr. Nt'ood, is a commercial gentleman, front d.e ncighb:urhood of Liverpool, a ref.rnting Whig, but innikram and mild, reopcned even by his opponents, and generally popti!,r. The liberal scot-and-lot souls of Preston, like every thing about him but his frugality of expenditure, and even complain of his having brought Irons Liverpool the few barrels of porter which he has yet distributed. His parsitmmy is said, by his kiends, to be the only drawback on his chance of success. Captain Muncie is the next—a gentleman of considerable repu tation in hi. protession (the Navy). of Tory prineipleo, and de pending for success on the aid of the respectable nianufatturics , most of whom hold Isis political faith. lie keeps open house, std distributes eatables and drinkable. 111101 t abundantly, and. on diems I grounds, is confident of success. Though taint in the field, he bat arromplished much already among the master manufaetur.ra ir;it by the poputace he is as much disliked here, as Mr. Hi ndi is in Southwark.
