SIR, I have this day, and not before, seet your Paper of the 15th inst. in which I observe a regret on your part s . that you was not acquainted. with the Name of the Mayor of Nottingham ; and as it does n ot ap pear by your subsequent Papers that it has as.yet been communicated to you by any other: person, I take The earliest opportunity of kfotniirig you, that I have the Honour of filling 'that Office; and that • my name is ARRIVED Holland I Harnburgh o MAILS.

W E this morning reeei , :e'd the Moniteur of the 27th inst. It brings the imprie;n2: inteligence of the DEY of ALGIERS..being on • the point of de ., dating War' agal•nst 'all .Europe. Whether the Powers of Europe',will alit* it proper to appease his wrath by, concession, or at once to crush his rmser by vigorous -exertion s we cannot take upon ourselves to determine. A Frigate has arrived at Brest, which left St. Domingq. on the 24th ult. The news from that Colony is represented - as extremely favourable. The sickness which prevailed in the l?rench,Army has discontinued, its ravages,—Most of ►he BlaCks are disarmed, and many of them are returning to the labour " which they ought never to have left," The Funds are at 53 f. 6o c. THIS morning a Dutch Mail arrived, the con_ tents of whiell, as we have given them at length in a subsewielit Column, we shall not reOpitulate here, more larticularly as they present nothing of very stfikirg iMportanee.. The French have oh, tained their objet, it, seems, in having procured an eqUal freedom of Navigation in the Black Sea with gusjidand Austria. His, MAJESTY, we understand, means .to make an excur , bn by water 'from Weymouth to ,Ply ir'outh, before his leaving the forrpgr place for the season. The alterations at the House of• Commons are going on with great rapidity—there will be several Committee Rooms; the inside of the House; re mains unaltered. The number of Petitions -- to the House of Cpm mons against improper Returns, will, it is supposed, exceed these of any former Pariiamen - t. . We are ha'ppy in being able to say, that a certain Illmtrious Personage has ' taken no part whatever i n the EleCtiOn 16r the County of. Middlesex. The Doke of NORTHUMBERLAND pre learn, witl s.atisfahion, has given his warmest support to Mr, MA IN WAR IN G. The Duke of BRIDGEWATER. went a few days ago in his beautiful Yacht from Runcorn to Livery po Lady MELBOURNE gave a Supper a few nights ago, at which the PRINCE of WALES was present. The Duke' of NORTHUMBERLAND is' at Sion, where he is just recovering trotn a severe fit of the Gout. • Lord THURLOW 1S at Brighton. - Brighton Races have already - attradied'.a large concourse of Fa , ;hionables, and others, to that place. Alth. ugh there is not a shadow of doubt but that Mr. MAINWARING' will be the Sitting Member up on , hi s Petition to the House of Commons, it must be a matter of sincere regret, that even a momentary triumph should have been gained by his Opponent, 'who is a stranger- to . the. County, and known only to the Pub!ic from the violence and eccentricity of 'his Parliamentary career. The return which the Sheriffs have thought proper to make, is theinore to lamented, from the nature of the prete nsions upon which Sir. FRANCIS ,Burtnerr has grounded .his hopes of success. It . was not the honourable com petit ion,between Gentlemen justly ambitious of re presenting their Country in Pathan - lent, but a de clared and public resolution and attempt of the ‘yhole Jacobin interest, to revenge themselves upon a. Magistrate-who hini the courage to repress and c>erce their most daring partizan s . Upo n no ' oc -, casion has Jacobinism more-decidedly mustered its strength, or shown 5o much of its real features and charader: Mr. Fox was quite ashamed of his Voters for Sir F. ,BURDETT, aud.therefore in place..of going tt ith 'them from the Crow,/ and Allcbor, weni,quietly to Brentford, and met them at the llustisgs, The means used to obtain a Majoii'ty at a recent fur a populous County, Sufficiently show, it a,ly proof of the taa were now wanting, .that ro ons. are sreater7).rzints than violent ,il.lvorytter fir Liberty. , . Some. ruperrthinds Politicians- say, that Mr. I ss thousand Tounc i ls at Brent fpo on • him fur assisting in so bad a cau,c as dirt of BURDETT. At all events, Mr. 130 LE Cannot be set down as a wise 'man fit c‘iityitt so much Property about him in the midst of BURD E TT'S friends. NAVAL NLIPS.

Neither of the bodies, nor the boat, have been yet picked up. They were two industrious men, lately paid off from one of the Men of War, and had purchased the boat in ordert to maintain themselves and several small children, who are now left orphans, and destitute, of any means of subsistence.

General Officers commanding in Distrias, or the Colonels or Fjeld Officers in command of Regiments (as the case may be), may grant leave of absence t o suc h o th er Offi cers, whose private affairs require it, taking care always to detain, or from time to time to call in, a sufficient number of Officers to do the ditty of the Regiment or Battalion, in case- it should be so situated as to require the attendance of more Oflicerb than those before mentioned; which are direCted to be constantly present. I t is to be observed, that no Officer (except in the perfor mance of duty, or for the purpose of joining his RegilTient) is to quit the United Kingdom, without having first received His Majesty's special permission for so doing.

By Order of His Royal Highness the Commander in Chief, HARRVKALVERT, Adjutant-Goirral of thy Forces. LLANDILO, JULY 27. MR. WILLIAMS has a majority of 138 Votes over - Mr. PAXTON. The Poll is expeeted to con tinue open till Monday next. The New Piece entitled The Voice of Nature, is, it seems, a I. F ranslation from the French. Mrs. INcIaBALD translated this Piece for Covent Garden Theatre, hut . too late to be brought forward last Seasdn, and as the Drama is an open trade, another Writer has availetl himself of the importation. The Fable, we understand, is founded upon the same event as the memorable judgment of Solomon. Mr. and Mrs. H. Jorats . rorr are still playing at Edinburgh, where they are much applauded. Mrs. HUMPHREYS, of Drury-Lane Theatre, we find, is the Piolante of the Lewes Stage. Few Women, according to report, are in real 1 1 / 4 , less disposed to eXcite Wonder by keeping a Secret. The Pic-nits,' instead of aging regular are said to have spoken what came uppermost. This statement is rather too complimentary to, the ta lents- of the Pic-nits, 'who sheaved no proofs of such impromptu fertility, but whose dialogue, very suitably to the import of their name, was a mere colleilion of dramatic scraps. A'young•man was lately executed at Rennes, in France, only 19 years of age, for assaulting a young girl with an intent to commit a rape upon her. The girl made great resistance, and the ruf "fian gave her sixteen wounds with a knife, and left her for dead, but she fortunately recovered. Between Tuesday night and Wednesday morn.. ing escaped from Cold Bath-fields Prison, 7oseph Naples and George. Jones, two notorious fellows, ' who were in the habit of stealing dead bodies out , of Church-yards, and who. were ordered to be con fined for two years each, it was discovered, . that by means of picklock-keys they opened their cells, as well as three other places,' got into the garden inside the Prison, threw a ladder of ropes over the Prison wall, which, by means of iron hooks, caught hold of the stone copings, and by these means descended into the fields. As their employ.. ment was that of picking oakum, they had, by patient perseverance, made'a ladder from it. At an early hour on Wednesday morning Hatfield, confined ever since his acquittal of the charge of wilfully 'firing a pistol at His Majesty at Drury - Lane Theatre, and another Maniac, lately a Purser in, the Navy, found means to escape from Bedlam. _ Last Monday night a taylor hired a porter tcz carry woollen-drapery to his house, at the Spice Islands, St. George's in the East'; the porter asked him for something to drink, when the owner went .into a public house, and the porter turning short round a corner, made off with the goods of the value of 101. nor could he he traced till yester day, when he was taken in the neighbourhood of Hatton Garden, but extricated himself, and ran Away. , - A letter from Capt. Kesquick,, of the Iris, from India to New York, dated 3oth June, at Sea, states ,that the Porcher, the Tay, and the Highland Chief are captured. :v111; DLE7,t.X ELECT/.,1V, To a favourite Candidate of the Mob yelter6y obtained a Nominal Kijority of Votes, by mean: which, as they will doubtless become the sn':,.frtft t,f investigation before anni her "fribtinal, we shall net now dwell Upon ; we shall content ourselves with expressing our belief, char his Triumph be' short-lived;. and that .Middlesex Will- not long be deprived of its proper Representative. The polling began yesterday morning at eight o'clock. In the early part ef the day nothing mate rial occurred, except , that of an unusual number of persons having.come to vote for Sir.FR4Nc MIR - pETT. The hackney-coaches in his employ were not sufficient to convey one half of them from 1,,c+0. don, and it was hardly pos-ible to End a place either inside or 'outside a stage going to BrenifOrd. The crowd about the Hustings was much greater than on any day since the Eleetion began. .Arthree o'clock the pull was , finally closed. • The Sheriff's then came forward, and .Mr. BUR cuELg„ the•Under-Sheriff, told the Freeholders that they were called on to chuse fit and proper persois to represent them in• Parliament ; that a . was afterwards demanded, at the final close of which the numbers were, - For GEORGE BYNG, Esq.- - .3543 WILLIAm NIAINwARINc;, Esq. , 2936 ►Sir I'K.t►NCIS BURDETT, Bart. 3 2 07 After a pause of some time, Mr. BuRctIELI. again addressed the Freeholders, and slid that t he majority of votes having apiceared to be in favour of GColt GE BYNG, Esq. and Sir FRANCIS Butt- DETT, Barr, the Sheriffs declared them to be duly eleded as Knights to serve in Parliament ; for 1116 County of Middlesex. A pause of near a quarter of an hour ensued, and at last the Cryer desired the people to depart, and give their attendance again on a new summons.- , - 'fhe two new Members then came forward in front of the Hustings, and addressed the multitude, The friends of Mr. Er ca then carried him away from the Hustings in a chair, which was very un4f for the purpose, It was nothing better than a Om. mon ale-house chair, The partizans of Sr l F. BUR)D ETT had a machine supported on two poles, decorated with branches of laurel, in which they placed their Candidate, and carried him a considerable way through the town of Brentford, until a very heavy shower of rain con: , pelted him to get into'his coach, The cavalcade which moved along contisted.of about three hundred carriages of every description, with hundreds of people on foot, who could get no conveyance at all. The road was so full, tha: - the coaches were frequently obliged to stop for; ten minutes and a quarter of an hour at a time, before they could move along. It took full three hours to go a distance which could otherwise have been 'gone in one hour. There was, as may easily be imagined, a, great deal of pres s i ng and en tangling of carriages among each, other ; in t he course of which they sustained considerable damage, We , have not heard of any serious accidents ; a gig was 'overturned, •in which were two young Ladies.; but fortunately they received no other in jury, than that of being soused in the 11:111d. Having thus far traced the progress of this cavaT cade, or, to adopt a more appropriate term, of this banditti, , for such it was in the legitim ate sense of the w or d, we will content ourselves with briefly describing its entrance to the Metropolis. The whole of Knightsbridge, Hyde Park Corner, and Piccadil, ly; as far l as the house of the Member efeCt, exhibited an incongruous mass of the very lowest classes of society, enticed by curiosity from those labours, the negle4 of which their families will, perhaps, long have to deplore. The motley crew passed aloil the Strand to the Crown and Anchor Tavern, where Sir FRANots was met by his Committee, and retired, after haranguing the Mob, to conclude the clay in those orgies which best charaCterize so farcical a sof lemnity. Happily for the - Peace of the Metropolis, every ne#, cessary precaution was adopted to prevent the dread' ful effects of that disposition to riot, disorder, and tumult which manifested itself. It was to be f e ared that men, heated with success and liquor, would have proceeded to alts of violence, and particularly that they would have made the Cold Bath Fields Prison, or, as they call it, the Bastile, the objea of des truCtion. To obviate any popular effusion of the princi' pies of this motley assemblage, timely orders well issued for the appointment of sufficient Militari Guards—the Light norse Volunteers, one of the Regiments of Guards, and the East India Cora' pany's Corps of Volunteers, were prepared to have aded at a moment's warning. The Lortio MAyoX and the Magistrates of Westmin ster h a d a l so a for- midable body of Police Officeis in readiness ; these wise precautions the peace of every part o f the Metropolis was preserved. It is a fad very degrading to Sir FRANCIS BUR' DETT, that most of the di s ti ngu i s h e d M em b ers ( , Opposition were aaually ashamed of voting for hirer and kept back as long as they could find expedients for delay, till they were overpowerd by Importunity. Having still some regard for their charaaers, they were reasonably apprehensive that if they were con spicuous as BURDETTITTES, they must be.indelibll branded as Jacobins. What a drawback on the exulting feelings o f:the returned Candidate; that he / has, not the opportunity of being felicitated on his success by his truly re; speaatile and .constitutional Friends ROGER and ARTHUR O'CONIWR ! This is• rather the more unlucky as those " Bosom Friends" of theldol / Mobocracy , are now actually undergoing their too lenient fate of Deportation. In one of the inco herent rhapsodies which the former of these Heroeg alßebellion addressed to the People of Ireland, he r thus apostrophises his friend: ' 6 By RDETT oy " Forenark I—the land which gave THEE birth , "will be ever dear to the heart of O'CoNNoit !!!' A nurilber of Subscribers to a Flour Mill, princi pally contributed tc decide the Middlesex Poll 0 , favour of Sir FRANCIS BURDETT. This is hut are" turn of Gratitude, as the Baronetino doubt, brough r grist to their .~--,.
