GENERAL. ELECTION. To the GENTLEMEN, CLERGY and FREEHOLDERS of the COUNTY of HERTFORD. GENTLEMEN, THE. fatigues which I have undergone during the last Week, will prove my best apology with you for a shorWelay,- in expressing the gratitude which I can never cease to feel, for the generous and unbiassed Support I have received at the late . Election. Success will not always fol low the honourable means used to attain it, in opposition to the pradices of a perverse and crooked policy ; but it is for tunate for me, that I am to be judged by an enlightened and candid Public, rot by the wretched fabricators of those false hoods with which I have been attacked, and; in justifying my own Condud, I claim the right toexamine theirs. it is not difficult to - trace the motives of those - who haVe united to• frustrate my Re-election; hut I have lived too long in the World, to be surprized at any changes which may arise in that most capricious of all sentiments—Popular Opinion, especially when influenced. by the mixed considerations of an inveterate Party Spirit, inducements of private interest, the unforgiving remembrance of past defeats, and a System of Politics which can never be reconciled to the true Principles of the British Constitution. The summary of the" ChargeS against me is this, " That I have deserted my Principles ;" and-it is thus'attempted to be proved; It is said that I was the'Champion of the Freeholders in the year 1790,. againSt domineering Aristocracy, and that I am now a Supporter of the . Measineg - of Government. Whatever I was in the year 1790, I am still the same, nay more ! • II I . was then the op poser, I have now a right. to be considered the Sacrifice of that same Aristocracy, 'confirmed in Power, and rendered doubly formidable, by the most preposterous Coalition that ever disgraced the annals •of Election in this or any other County. In the former instance, I resisted 'the attempt to Introduce a Member for the County by improper means ; to the present, I have done the same,' with this additional cir cumstance in my favour, that I - have now improved my claim to your approbation by twelve years of faithful and disinte rested service ; and it is for those who were divided before in opinioa on that point, to account to the World for so hetero gencOus a combination of discordant Parti4 as 'we have' this d4y witnes s ed. , I kin charged with haVing abandoned the Cause• of 'the - Peop,le, by withdrawing myself from the Friends of Parlia mentary Reform. On this it is sufficient to say, that, in the face of the County, and to your petted satisfetion, I shamed my Accusers in the year 1792.. Who were then most forward in approving tee ?--This same Aristocracy. Who condemned me ?—That Party alone with which the Aristocracy, then at variance, is now shamefully united ; and for this reason only was I condemned—That I had detededand proclaimed to the World a strong tendency to jacobinism in those who profess ed themselves moderate Reformers.—So mucit for transac tions ofd more early date.. Bill to have supported the War is an unpardonable offence. What ? in the judgment of .those who have themselves sup ported it throughout ?—ln the judgment of those (if indeed they have had any judgment of their own on such momentous subjects)), who, gorged with places, patronage, and distinc tions of every kind, by the bounty of that Government which had been cruelly forced into the War, have now the vanity and the weakness to think that they are recommend ing themselves to their Paymasters, by opposing me, and, blind to the precarious situation - in which they stand, seem wholly to have forgotten, than the breath of the. Court, which they are thus inconsistently affeding to serve, can an.: nihilate in an instant all their consequence, and all their power. It willenot create much surprize, that the other 1 lead of this monstrous Fadion, with all its tongues and all its venom, should be faise'd against the Supporter of a War, undertaken in defence of our Sovereign on his Throne, .and of our happy Establishments in Church and State—that those, who have exulted in the triumphs of our Enemies, have palliated Irish Rebellion, and in every instance, where public exertion was required, have endeavoured to paralize the nerves and vigour of the State—have decried the firmness of our Councils—have undervalued the successes of our Arms—have attempted to blest the credit of our Finance Shave have affeCted to consider thew temporary restraints on the Liberty of the Subjed, which were called for by the com bined intrigues of outward Foes and domestic Traitors, as odious invasions of the Constitution—and finally, have la boured; by all the means •in their power, to, reprobate and discredit every Tax which the vigorons prosecution of such - a Contest demanded, and, failing in their objed of creating general confusion, conclude their flimsy rhapsodies against, the Government under which they live- , --their miserable cant about the oppressions of the Poor, with a patriotic threat of seeking moreperfed Freedom inthe blesSed regions of French despotism. litat men of this description, averse from every system which accords not with their own visionary idefic of innovation, should objed to one, who. has knoWn, through life, no other rule for his Political Condud, than die Laws and Constitution of his Country, and has never been of Ain , party, but that of Great Britain, against the Enemies .of Great. Britain, of whatever description, or wheresoever found, can excite no wonder in .the min_ d of any man, nor prcduce much regret in' him, who has been the object of their unprincipled persecution : But that such ap Union as we have .seen, shotild exist for any honest purpose, or with the least prospel of cordiality or permanence, , can never be expeeted, without a miracle greater than any which. have been recorded in this age of strange and anomalous liroduc- tions. , In disapproving the Peace, it - is true, I have diftlired ,equally from both parts of this honourable Association—But let it be remembered, that those who think the best of it, lament that it was net preeured-on better terms, express se rious doubtS of` its continuance, .and dread the least appear ance of jealousy towards an Enemy, insolent at all times in power, acid aggrandized by our concessions. This was not the language or the pradice of our Ancestors—but we rriiist submit to the new ordeei of things, which we cannot con trout ! Let it be further recolleded, that in this concurience ofsentiment, the motives and reasoning of the Parties are tat from the same :L-the one submits to the Peace, because it is: the ad of Government, which they dare riot offend by their opposition, and because they fancy it may prove ,a lesSer evil than the Continuance of War; the other, clamorous against the Ware even before we were engaged in it, and during the whole time of its continuance, receives the Peace with a sullen acquiescence, dissatisfied, in both instances, with any pleasure which might furnish a change to their Country of curbing the exorbitant premi.;ion, and dangerous ,intrigues of France. In regard to the Hostility aa Hell has been pointed against myselfHthis is the short History of it ; My success in the year taeo was never forgiven by one. branch of the•presmt Coalition, nor remembered either with gratitude or approha lion by the other s froM the, moment when I was tband not to be a Tool suited to their purposes. The dormant spleen of twelve years concealment, rankling in the breast 'of disap pointed Ambition, was to be brought into activity whenever the occesion'should occur , and all objedions of inconsistency were lost in the delightful' contemplation of a sweet revenge, eaindified by that truly orthodox Article in the Creed of le_ suits and Jacobins, that " Any means may be used to obtain a favouritcend." Influence cf various kinds has been pradisedin many Elec. tions before the present, and whatever is et:am:Live, ceases. to be noticed. But are there no extraordinary ketures in the present transaction ? If the conscience of any man tells him that he has forfeited his promise, solemnly pledged to me, , he must find some better palliation of his conduct, than the miserable plea, " that he has no will 9f his own." But what shall be said for the liberality and virtuous feelings of those who can find a gratification in requiring the Sacrifice of friendship met of honour, at the shrine of their inordinate ambition ? I have abstained from saying any thingof the lion. (;entle roan who has been opposed' to me : it is sufficient that you have made him the objet} of your choice. _built -. fair tOob 6eeve, that hitherto his habits have not been those of a man of business ; and it you have rejeCted me from 'a disapproba tion of Inv conduct(though that is far from proved), be recollected that you have adopted him, without any ex perience of his talents, or knowledge of his principles. In one particular he w4I find himself under difficulty—His free and independent mind will revolt 'at the Instructions which lie will receive from one part of his Constituents, while his wishes and connexions may lead him forcibly to adopt the sentiments of the other. - In tiais he will find some embar rassment a - an embarrassment necessarily arising' from the strangely mixed Interests by which he has been sill - Tot - la:A, From this distress nothing can relieve him, hut the manly adoption of that sound principle of the Constitutioie " That the Service of a Member of parliament, is a 'Service of per fed Freedom," subject only to-that responSibility which is imposed by the recurrence of a new. Election, on occasions like the present. An attempt has been made to confound my conduct in the year teen, with that winch has been pursued by' my' pKesent Opponent. But I can refer to the memory of you all, i in particular to Mr. Hale, that no two Cases Ivere ever mole similar. In the year ieea, on the very morning of the Disso kmion, I expressed to Mr. Hale my decided disapprobaii-Je of the manner in which he was introduced to the County, lint, my sanguine hope that there would 'be foundai poaper spirit in the Freeholders to resent it. This I repeated more em phatically at the Nomination, in the form or Resehhiens, which the Neetine Vote tett, and declared site a Ceedidete at the same time. This was five days befOre tte Mr. Lamb, ctt the contrary, absents himself from the Nomi nation, wiwre Mr. Plumer and myself were, unanimously ap beproved of, not announcing himstila Candidate till the Day fore the Eleaion. Reports are in circulation (I know not how founded), that' the new Allies begin already to feel some jealousy and un easiness in their present connexion. How, indeed, can di be otherwise ? Or when it was - ever known, that leagues en gaged in without some common , and honest bend of union,_ were of long continuance, or prodUelive of any . public gOod i Unjustifiable in their motives from the beginning, they can hardly fail to end in mutual disappointment. Far be it from the to tiny any thing which , can widen the breach between then . ' But the pride of the Republicans will surely be mortified when they find, on an inspection of the Poll, that in the Six Hundreds whereitheir strength was supposed principally to, lie, their Candidate was completely beaten and that they owe their majority, in the other two, merely td. the Coalition, which both being ashamed of, alter to deny, and to - a secret Canvass actually carried on by the Cour tiers, and not explained till it %vas found convenient for them to unite in opposing me. By the decision of this day 'you have . indeed, Gentlemen, contracted very much the sphere or my Public Duties ; but I have others yet to peiforrn, and I can assure you with truth, that under no circurnstarce or change of situation, will You find nit less disposed, than I have hitherto constantly been, 9 attend to your concerns as a Magistrate, a Neighbour, and Friend. • A shouldbe ashamed of myself, if I could feel re, ..entment against any.

We this morning received the Paris Papers, of the 13th and 14th' inst. The intelligence brought by the last Papers, of the arrival of TOUSSAINT at Brest, is true, General LECLERC, in a Let ter from St. Domingo, dated 11th June, states, that ToussAINT, after his surrender, never ceased conspiring to regain his influence in the Colony ; he was therefore under the necessity of causing him to be arrested. There is a very long Letter from General R z c Ei E- P ANC E, at Guadaloupe, in which he gives a more derailed account of his proceedings in that Island : he says the Insurgents are completely subdued. JosE PH BoNAPARTE has been chosen by the Conn. cil of State, as their Grand Ofcer in the Legion of Honour. The organization• of that Legion is com pleted, and the Revenues assigned for its support 5,265,257 livres. The Funds are 53 f. 75 c. The Military establishment for Ireland will be very considerable. That part of it which respeas the Infantry is . to consist of the following Regi ments of the. Line :—the i sth, 16th, 17th, 18tb, loth, 21st, 32d, 35th, 36th,_ 38th, 44. th, 45th; 4.6 th, sOth, 56th, 58th, 62d, 03d, .7 ist, 73d, 82d, and 89th. .Each'of these Regiments is to have 34 Scrjeants, 4.0 Corporals, 22 Drummers, and 710 Privates, ntaking in the whole, exclusive of Com missioned Officers, a force amounting to 17;632 cffeftive men. • Letters from the Hague, received by the Batavian Mail of yesterday, state, that M. SCHTMMELPEN NINcK, who has for some time been Ambassador from ...the Batavian Republic to the French, is ap pointed Ambassador to this Country. A Letter just received from Madras says, "His Highness AZE em UL DOWLAH, the Nabob of the Carnatic, has sent home four letters by the Com pany's ship the Charlton, Capt. CUMBERLEGE, addressed to the Chairman of the East India Com pny, the PRINCE of WALES, the'Marquis CORN WALLIS, and Lord HOBART. His Highness also shipped two bOxes, addressed to the KING, and one to the PRINCE of WALES." There is something extremely handsome and libe, ral in the conduti both of Mr. 'WINDHAM and Mr. WODEHOUSE, with respeCt to the Norfolk Elea ion. —The latter we hope, and indeed are confident, must succeech • We cannot believe it to be true that any Lord Lieutenants of Counties would take an aftive part in procuring the Election of Sir FRANCIS BURDETT. The Puke of NORTHUMBERLAND has gone with his whole family -0 J3ognor. His. Grace does not interfere at all in the Middlesex Elation. The contest-for Norwich cost the respective Can. didates about thirty-five thousand pounds ; that for Norfolk will, .probably, not be far short, as Mr. COKE spares no expence to stand at the head of the 'Poll, and also to bring ;n his' friend, Sir JACOB ASTLEY, thou& in•this he will certainly fail. In the course of the contest for Hull, the article of ribbands alone amounted•td 50001. • . An opposition has been suddenly started for the County of Hereford. Mr. HARLEY, one of-the old Members, having retired, Sir GEo. CORN. WALL, a Member in a former Parliament, was ex peaed to be ieturned. On the day. of nomination, Mr. GEERS COTTEWELL was started as a Candi date, and the business is now come to.apo/l. The Triuniphal Car in which Mr. BULLER, one of the successful Candidates for Exeter, rode, was drawn by ten men in white shirts, tied with blue and white rilkand - s, and - in front of it rode a wool comber at work, dressed in the emhlems a his trade. We are happy to see that Mr. Fox at his late Ta . vern Meetings has omitted the toast of " Our Sovereign, the Majesty of the• . People."—Perhaps Mr. Fox saw a little too much of their sovereignty exercised in the front _of the Hustings at Covent. Gajdeu, in favour of his favourite Colleague. Mr. GRAHAM. Mr. Fox says he contemplates the late EleOion for WcstMinster with pleasure—lt requires a con siderable exertion of - pbliteness to believe that as sertion ; but we'may safely say, we contemplate it with pleasure, though from very different motives. At the Election in 1796, Mr. H. TOOKE had above zBOO votes--Mr. GRAHAM polled only 1691. It must afford sincere pleasure to every real friend of his Country to find that the Jacobin Interest has so considerably declined. Much of this decrease may be attributed to the returning good sense of the Peo ple, and not a little to the periodical exportation: to Botany Bay. . Colonel HANGER. is one of Sir FRANCIS BUR.

So many strange chara&ers have offered them_ selves as Candidates for the New Parliament, with. out having any chance of getting in, that we can only, suppose they wanted a little noOriety ; or per haps, considering the nature of their principles, to disgrace the House of Commons by antrritatiolle NEW PARLrAWENT.

The next morning, througi, aEtivity of his friends, almost every Town and Village in the County was in motion for Mr. WINDHAM.
