DOvaa.—A tion of Gentlemen from this place, waited on John Minet Sector, Esq. at Bou logne, inviting him to be a Candidate to represent his native town, but which he has handsomely de rlined. Mr. F. however returned to Dover from Bossiogne, yesterday, along with the Deputation ; had he consented to the *laws of Isis friends, there is not the smallest doubt he would have been at the head of the Poll. Sir John Jackson. and Mr. Bootle ‘Vilbraltam, will not wow, it is said, be op pOied at DOW. SANDWICH has no opposition at present. Mr. Marryatt and Sir George Warrender will come in easy ; the tint gentleman is spoken of u deservedly a favourite in this Borough—both stand on their own seirarate interest.

Rio? at TAMWORTIL—Rir &Alert Peel, having an nounced the intention of Nilson, William Peel, EM offering himself conjointly with Sir Robert, at the approachiag Ge. sorrel Election, Lord Tuwaskend, one of the present Mem bers, arrived in the Borough, and the canvass of hods parties ban proceeded with great briskness. Oa Monday last both parties gave public clingers to their friends. The head. geometers of the parties were at the King's Arms (Sir Rn. b.rt's Inn), sad the Castle (Lord Townshend's), which Inns are ex/icily opposite each other. After diorite, in the coarse of the teeming, the rival Candidates paraded the town, in procession, with appropriate flags, Ice. The processions meeting (as the mailer Is stated to as) the !bearer of one of the Peel flags, waved it gloatingly, over the heads of the rival party ; the flag was instantly torn to atoms; the processions pas sed oa—but the " thumb had been bitti is," as Stateliest,' says. Arrived at the Inas, W. Peel, E-q. appeared at the window, and we believe, ad dressed the freemen below. He had a walking stick in his hand, which the Towiethesd boys any was shaken, as in men see (a thing perhaps not very like)y, bat the thought was egeougli). Instantly to it the rival boys went; and scores were is a aunt rating ; the paventeut was up, and the siege began us both of the portions. : windows! abutters! frames! ate. all disappeared, as by the weed of Harlequin, till scarce a stick or pass was ',MN,. The job was completed el both houses in a few minutes. A cart load of lame paving stoats were collected from the rooms of each ins, many of which come rolling down the stair-cases like thasder. Oa the part of the Towndiend boys the war was instantly carried to the house of Edmond Peel, Esq. across IMF road which panes the corner of the street at right angles. This residence Matsui!, shared the fate of the Inas, and Ile family were obliged to fly. The rage of Ilse mob begaa arm to he a little ap peased ; and they coutemplateal their work as soldiers smile on the wreck of towns, where the laurels of victory are planted. The damage dune must be very coesiderable; but we have heard of sin estimate tint can be relied on. The WWII ball been quiet ever since. We are sorry to hear, that one man has been so severely hurt, that his life is despaired of; another had his leg broken ; and various others arc seriously iojurcil.—:"Lichfirlit Mercury Pryse Pryse, Esq. of G ogerdd su, lies been invited to succeed the Hon.

PARIS PAPERS. PARIS, JUNE 10. The Ministers Secretaries of State assembled yesterday, at two o'clock, at the Tlmilleriev, under the Pre.iilency Of the King. This Council was prolonged till six o'clock. Lord Wellington received yesterday the visit of his Serene Highness the Duke of Orleans. of the Marshal Duke of Migusis, and of the Duke of Richelieu. The mausoleum which the army of the Sambre and Meuse had caused to be erected in 1796, near Coblentz, on Mount Saint Pierre, to Gei:enil Marceau, has been demolished. The material. are to be employed in the work. of fortifications. General Marceau, at the age of 27 years, and en dowed with great military Wen.. mid much intre pidity, was slain at the battle of Allenkirchen.— The Archduke Charles, who then commanded the Austrian army, as soon as lie was apprised of General hlarcran's wound, immediately sent his private surgeon to him, and after his death caused funeral honours to be paid him. Letters from Bucharest, in Wallachia, dated the 17th March, announce, that an earthquake has de stroyed the great and flourishing town of Philipp°. poli, in Romania. Timis town counted at least 70,000 inhabitants. ‘Ve are assured that it has been altogether swallowed up in the subterranean abyss, and that its traces are in vain sought for. The positive date of this disastrous event is not stated. The celebrated Roman painter, Camucciiii, set out from Rome in the latter end of May, to present iii person to the King of the Two Sicilia his great picture of The Death of Caesar. which is destined to ornament one of the great halls of the Royal Palace of Naples.

Never have such beautiful hoses been seen at Aleppo, and the amateurs of horses there are them depart with regret, at the very moment when they were hopiug to take advantage of them to ameliorate their breed. THE B Rrn s H PRES S. LONDON. MONDAY, JUNE IS, isie. During the couise of the present or the ensuing week the elections will have coinineticcd through out the great extetit of the kingdom, and the pub lic mind will be fur some short time in a state of constant anxiety and agitation. There call be no spectacle so itup►atng as that of a great people ex ercising the right of choosing those who are to go vern them. Its this they prove the triumph of po litical reason, but in exercising the right with dis crimination, they alone *hew themselves worthy of possessing it. Integrity in character and warden& vice in fortune, are the chief qualities which should be sought for in choosing Members fur the !louse of Commons, and these are not hard to be obtained, we will say, in any part of the kingdom. But, be sides this simple rule. the people have in the pre sent instance a kind of negative guide, wh;cli may prevent them, at least. from making many itnpro. per elections. Let them carefully acau the long and anxious career of the Par liaintot just dissolv ed, mud referring to those great questions that prin cipally involved the dearest interests or the country, Jet them examine whether their Represetitatives voted fur the manifest good of the people, or solely to gratify the partial views of a Minister. If they find that any MAO voted fur AU immense standing army in time of peace, roc!' a M.llll is unworthy of their future confidence. If they find that ally man voted for the suspension of the Habeas Corpus Act tv,ice, during a scasou of profoutal peace. fur the . salt purpose of maintaining a weak and inefficient Adininist ration, they may write him &alto dis honest man, and unworthy of their coufidetire. They may affirm the same of those men who wiled for maintaining a system of expenditure exe!etling our revenue by fourteen millions per auturas ; of those Men, wbo,lo sUnpOrt the rate of excessive taxa tion, assented to the prolongation of a paper cur. renry that undermines the stability of our resources, deranges the relative value of all property, compels the public to become creditors to the Bank of t nglatuf, to the amount. of nearly thirty millions annually, and by increasing the facility of for. gory, gives • dreadful impulse to crime, mind degrades the national character by the shock ing frequency of public executions. They may affirm the same of those men who, haviiir, con- .\ • signed the people to the clement) , of the Secre tary of 'State s refused to investigate the affecting narratives of cruelty and sufferings endured I.y same unhappy individuals, whose innocence of any alleged offence was proved by the absence of legal prosecution. The people of LiverpoOl in fair tirular will, we trust, possess sufficient honest in dignation to revenge the insult offered in the Muse of Commons to the humanity of the country, and send Mr. CANNING to some Etter place to crack his miserable jokes upon the unfortunate sictini ministerial oppression, writhing beneath the siir genii's knife. Reflections of this nature will *Met much towards producing a practical Reform in II e !louse of Commons, without descending to the visionary ■nd destructive schemes of pelfiction, by Annual Paliaments and Universal Stitliage, which hove fur sonic time offended the judgmtnt of the wiser part of the nation. It is vain to look a Reform of any kind in Parliament, unless it corn. mence, with the people, and this great object can- I not fail of being beneficially and safely obtained, if the electors throughout the kingdom act with the same independence and liberality as they would de►ire their Representatives to display w bile per fuming their duty in Parliament. It is with pride and pleasure we find that the sentiments of this great Metropolis, as far as they have been acer tained on the present canvass, barmonire with these opinions. In Westminster the public voice is decidedly expressed in favour of Sir SAMUEL BO HILLY and Sir FRANCIS BURDETT. Indeed, the former we may ex,.€ct will be voted in. to us a common phrase, by acclamation.—ln the City, Messrs. Woon, THORP. %VAITHMA N, 11 't I.SoN, and ROWCROFT, stand high in public estimation. We have received Paris Papers of Wednesday and Thursday last. They contain a Treaty concluded on the 48th of February last between France nod the Two Sicilies, in which his Most Christian 'Ma jesty consents to the abolition of all the privileges and exemptions hitherto enjoyed by the sat jeclk, commerce, and ships of France in the States, ports, and dominions of Ins Sicilian Majesty, by virtu e of the Treaty of the Pyrenees; that of A ix-la-Chit pelle, in May 1668 ; the declaration given by ties: Court of Madrid, Mardi 1667 ; and other act, which gave to the subjects of France the same ad vantages as had been conceded to the English by the Treaty of 1667, between Great Britain and Spain. La return fur this concestion, his ~tciliMh Majesty promises, from the date of tile abolition of these' privileges, a diminution of ten per cent, on ■Il rates and duties payable on the merchandise or produce of the kingdom of France Militated into the States of his Sicilian Majesty. We have noticed the Treaty thus part:cularly. because, from the following Proclamation, dated Napless, April 16, sad a note attached to it in the Moniteur, s e are given to understand that a similar Treaty was concluded between Crest Britain and the Two Sicilies, on the 4th of September, 1816: " Ferdinand 1. by the grace of God, King of the Tre Sicilies, kc. " Incessantly occupied with the desire of procuring to oar well-beloved subjects the advantages of navigation sod com merce, it has not escaped our attention that the abolition of the privileges and exemptions enjoyed ill our States by ships under the English, French, or Spanibli daga, by vas toe of ancient treaties ur Conventions, would poserieilly c. 41- tribute to Ilse attainment of this abject, and to s,cute else receipt of Custom Duties. " Fur this purpose we have employed all our cares to uh fain this useful result; and thanks to the amicable tious, as well of his Must Christian Majeedy. as olives Ca tholic Majesty, and of his Royal Highness the Prince Re gent of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, we have concluded with each of these Sovereigns a e.eparaie Convention, by which these privileges and exemptious 31C abolished, in return for some compensations which we ham stipulated in f f their respective subji cis."
