The Telegraph observes, that the interests of the different States, though at present mere - complicated than ever, still allow some hopes of Peace. It is in the nature of things that confusion should ulti mately produce order. Russia, Whose Armies have been d r i ven fr o m the Vistula to the Pregel, and are Only proteded by the thaw abd the impassable na- Lure of the ground, cannot but perceive that she will ilizard every thing, should she wait till she is driven rom that position, in consequence of the extraor dinary reinforcements which have been drawn from i'rance. The ridiculous attempt upon Constanti nople will necessarily lower the English in the 4:stem of the Russians. HANOVER, APRIL 23.—1 t is said that the war `ontribution of 1,200,000 francs, imposed upon this country, will be lowered one-halt. The military route still continues through this Electorate, viz. from Cassel through Dransfeld, \ordheini, &c. to the Grand Army. STETTIN, APRIL zo. ORDER OP TIIE DAY.

Buit.Drrr Lcid tOCHRANi then came forward and expressed his thanks to the Electors for placing him at the head of the poll, thmigh supported by the influence of no party. He again declared that he stood alone, and had no connexion with any set of men, or with any of the other Candidates. It might, perhaps, be thought presumption in a person, in a great measure a stranger to them, to offer himself ; however he pledged him self to them for the independence of his principles, and this they had a right to exped. It was for him to offer, and, if they did not like it, it was for them to reje&. If they should be inclined, however, to try him, he flattered himself they should not be dis appointed. With regard to the other Candidates he had nothing to say. It was for the Eledors to decide upon their merits. His Lordship retired amidst shouts of applause ; the good-humoured plainness, and apparent sinceri ty of his professions, completely gained the hearts of .the populace. Mr. JENNINGS then came forward on the part of Sir F. Burdett, and observed, that if Sir Francis himself could attend, there would net be a doubt success; but he hoped that his friends would not suf fer his present situation to throw a damp on their ex ertions.. In returnin him they would serve their selves. His only ambitioni was to serve the people. He began his public career like another Howard, by visiting the prisoners and • administering relief and consolation. People in high situations did not ge nerally like lsim, and the reason was, that they knew he could not be bribed. -Sir Francis Burdett wanted no Peerages-no Place- r -no Pension—his ob ject was to restore the Constitution to its purity, and to promote the interests of the People. He con cluded by ehorting them to strain every' nerve to secure his return. Mr.E.t.bio'r endeavoured to address the crowd, but the uproar was so loud and incessant that he could not succeed, and, therefore, after a general assertion of his independence, he retired. Mr. Gthisows (no pull had been demanded for Mr. Paull) then came forward and adverted to the invidi ous distinEtion that had been made between Mr. Paull and Sir Francis—a dtstinction which Sir Francis dis apvroved. He stated that he had waited on Mr, Paull, and we understood nitn to say, that his remon strances to induce him to become a Candidate had not been ih vain, and therefore a requisition would tomorrow be made to the High Bailiff, and Mr. Paull would again bye their Candidate. SOUTHWARK ELECTION. FOURTH DAY.-THURSDAY, MAY 7. At the close of the poll yesterday, the numbers stood For Sir T. Turto►t 1389 H. Thornton, Esq. -156 s C. Calvert, E s q. ►4Zt Mr.THORNTON then came forward and observed, that on that day's poll he. had gained 44 upon the majority. of too which he had over Mr. Calvert yesterday. He had stated yesterday, that his wish I was to be in a situation of safety ; in such a situa tion did he now stand, and he would rather be in a place of safety than iu a post.of honour. He should be content he carried his Election by a clear ma jority; while he was opposed by men who opened Public-houses, and made the violation pf the laws one part of their attack against him. He trusted, that at the end of to-morrow's poll, he' should be placedientirely beyond the reach of danger. In the parish of St. George's he had that day lost twenty five. In that parish the other Candidates had hither to been most succeSSful.' But that success could not continue muCh longer, as the popujation there would be exhausted: He concluded with saying, if his friends do peisevere in the same mode they pursued tharday, he must he confident of the contest ter minating to his honour. Sir THOMAS TURTON said, the kindness of the gle6teirs had on that day placed him 468 at the head of the poll over the lowest Candidate, and 324 over Mr. lhornten. Mr. Thornton had stated, that improper means bad been used to influence the votes of Eleelors, by opening public houses to give there refreshMents. Nov as he could not afford to open houses for that purpose, he was sure he could have obtained none of his votes in that way. On the subjeat of giving refreshments, he must say that he always thought the Treating Mt Went to too great an extremity ; because, in his opinion, rnen. who gave up a portion of their time, by corn ing to vote for a Candidate, were entitled to some refreshments. There were places where these things had been carried to a disgrace ful extent Where men were sUffered to indulge to excess in intoxication and riot. But in the 'Borough Of Southwark, he was • happy to observe, that no such thing ever happened ; and he thought it but justice to say; there were no people in England who- conduaed themselves at every EleCtion in a more sober and orderly manner than. the Eleelors of CIA ancient Corporatioif. Mr. Thornton had ob 'served that heliked a place of safety, or the second best place ; it_ was no doubt one on which he must be glad to - remain, because he could not get a bet.: ter place ; but, for his (mu part, he preferred the posh df honour, because he thought it Was the best. On this day, which was the 4th of the Poll, he had More • votes than on the sth day's Poll at the last Iletaion : therefore he had more reason to thank his friends. While others had depended on the aid of Ministerial influence, he had nothing, but the sup port .of the EleClorS. It might be presumption in him to ask for an increase of his majority to-mor row, but as it was the fashion for men who got a great deal to wish for more—it might not be unrea sonable in him to ask for more. Mr. CALVERT returned his sincere thanks to the 1421 independent ineti who had already given him, their support. They did not vote through undue'in fluence, like many who voted for Mr. Thornton, and the reason why he fell short of him on that day's poll was, that this being a holiday at the Ink and India-House, all the clerks, porters, Arid others be longing to these places, who resided in the Borough, voted for his opponent. Even the people belonaing to the Wet Docks were that day pent up, like sheep in a' fold, and let out one by cue to cord and vote for Mr. Twittzton.,.rliehad asked one man belonging to the docks, ‘Vho, had been an old ser taut belonging his father; to-vote for him, and this. man said he was forced to Vci • ti for Mr. ThOrnton.—' . ' My opponeht expfessed a wish (said Mr. Calvert) that I might go to Hull, and set up for that place ; it is natural be should d'iso, 2 - Or he must wish me any where else except here." Mr. C. concluded with denying the charge of his pining votes by bribery, and opening public houses. CITY of LONDOti.—Notwithstanding the much lamented death of Akleralarl RANKLY, a great num ber of Liverymen attended yesterday to poll fur the Deceased, of which, however, no notice was taken ; and at the dose of the Poll, the following , numbers only were exhibited : Sir Charles Price - iron Sir William Curtis - - - loza Alderman Shaw • - - g6.t. A hicrinatz Coinbc - - 89.; Alderman PAINSEP not having offered himself, there will be no further opposition to the old Mem bers. The Poll-books Will; however, tie ,kept open for the legal term of eight da)s. BRISTOL, MAY 7. The EleEtion for this city commenced on Satur day, when the friends of EVAN BAILLIE, Esc;. . ac companied him to the Exchange, where he again offered himself as a Candidate tor. the Representa tion; feeling that the independence and fidelity with which he had aiaed, since he first received the honbur of that appointment, were the best advo cates in his favour. On Monday CHARLES BATHURST, Esq. attended by an extensive cavalchde, also repaired to the Ex change, but the confusion and noise which ensued on his appearance prevented us from hearing a syllable of his speech. In the evening the mob pro ceeded to great a&s of tumult, and broke the win dows of the White Lion, where the friends of Mr. BATHURST rendezvoused, as also those of the Coun cil House. Tuesday, being the day appointed for the Elec tion, was one continued scene of, disorder and con fusion, the above Gentlemen, attended by their friends, and Sir JOHN JERVIS, from whose carriage the horses were taken by the mob, proceeded to the Gr iildhali, as Candidates for the honour of the Re presentation. The customary forms of swearing the Sheriffs, &c. having taken place, Mr. VAvottAti, the Mayor, in a few words, proposed CHARLES BATtlyitsr, &I. as every way quaiitie•.! for the hilt portaut. office; he was seconded by Ali.. Alderman DANiEL. • Mr. BATHURST, amidst an uncommon d,gree of disapProbation, at length obtained a hearing : he said that the symptoms which every moment reach ed his ear were too evident 'to - be misunderstood. No man could be snort ready than he was to lay both his public and private charaCter before the view of his constituents. The recent transa&ions in the State, which were the cause of their being now assembled, were too well known for him to en. large on'; but the particular and individual share . which he had taken was known only to a few, and he thought it his duty thus publicly to state it. He said, that he had no .obje(Stion to the first proposed indulgencies to the Catholics; but afterwards, when some of his Colleagues in the Ministry considerlibly enlarged those, indulgencies, he thought they were incompatible with the. principles of the Constitu tion, and he felt it .his duty to urge his dissent ; that others among his Majesty's Ministers with whom he was more closely connected joinec\ in his scruples, and that they continued in office after that time only. on the express request of his'most gracious Master : that the part which he had since taken, of voting against any implied censure of, his Majesty for that exercise of his prerogative, undoubtedly just - and commendable, in the discharge of those Servants who had forfeited ,his confidence, was on the most mature deliberation and thorough conviction of its propriety. Mr. Alderman CLAXTON then proposed Evax BAILLIE,Eig. as -a proper person to represent the city of Bristol in Parliament.---He was seconded by Mr. BRIGHT. A Gentleman then proposed Sir Jogs JERVIS, whose speech we shall not enter into, as he was informal in the delivery of it, being neither Free man or Freeholder. Sir JOHN, ih the morning, when Jr: declared himself at the Eitchange, pro fessed himself a friend to our glorious Constitution, and pledged his word for a strip} adherence to the interests of the City without hope of reward or dread of censure. On the above Gentleman being declared incapable of nomination, and no other corning forward in behalf of Sit Jogs, the Elec tion was declared duly .made in favour of the two old Members.' The hisses and - groans of the populace were in cessant, until Mr. PATH URST got into his Chair', when the people manifested every disposition to do bird personal injury, by throwing mud, oyster- MIAs, &c. at him. When he had passed only a few yards into High -street, .tie was assaulted with stones ; and being strikk with a piece of wood, he seized and held it in his hind With a seeming menace, w!o h so exasperated the peo ple, that st6nes, oyster-shells, &C. fell in showers and Mr. BATHURST having received ,seVeral se vere blowi, was obliged to descend from his chair, and seek refuge in a house in - High-Street, add the blue cavalctide to return. Snell was now the popular outcry, that every blue fibband in stantly disappeared. Mr. BAILLIE was heartily cheered and greeted, and appeared to be as much tespeaed as the other was out of favour. At this time (six in the evening) the voltinteer drums are beating to arms, in order to keep the peace, and the mob in Broad-street are very riotous. The con= stables have been in requisition all this day. A Subscription has been opened in London, for the purpose of defraying the Egpence of Mr. Boit nos's EleClion for the County of Durham; and we bear that upwards of to;0001., has already been sub'- scribed for that purpose. • The Hertfordshire County Meeting Wok place yesterday, at Hertford, tbr the putpoSe of nomi nating two proper persons to represent the County in Parliandent.
