THE Elcaigns for England are now drawing to a close, it may therefore be proper to notice some cir cumstances which have disgraced this exercise t f Popular Right, and rendered the scenes of EleCtion more worthy of a Parisian Mob than of a free People. We are willing to make every fair allowance for that popular fervour, which may be excited in be half of any favourite Candidate. But when this _passion has been carried to an excess which not only defies tl'e Law of the Land, but also violate 3 the principle of Eleaion itself, we must conclude, that the partizans of such measures, whatever they may cid I themselves, are nothing less_than the abet tors of the worst and mostabsolute Despotism. For we cannot conceive any species of Despotism so ab horrent to every idea of rational Liberty, as that w:lich prevents the-free exercise of the Will, and deprives Freemen of their right to choose for them selves. Had England been unfortunately the Theatre on which, like France, jacobinism at the same time played the tyrant and the slave, it could not have been more degraded. We have seen men of Prin ciple and Independence, who ha ie long and honour ably represented this Nation in Parliament, who possessed its confidence, and had the support of un doubted legal majorities of their ' Constituents, hunted like wild beasts from the place of Eleaion, and turbulent, factious, and•unqualified Mobs assume the charafler of Legitimate - Eleaors. We have seen a Magistrate, respeCled for his public and pri vate virtues ? and nearly twenty years a Represen tative of the People, calumniated by a licentious Press, and threatened by a drunken Rabble, because when 'his King and - Country were endangered, he had the courage and integrity to step forth in their just defence, to . suppress the instruments of disaffec tion and public disorder. We have seen the avowed advocate of these instruments supplant him, not in the confidence of his Constituents, or in the lawful Representation of one of the first Counties of the Kingdom, but in the applauses. of those, who felt no interest i n t h e i r C ountry ' s we l_ ,fitte,.-po shame at the misfortunes in which their former villanies might have involved it. These circumstances lead to sad and painful re_ flexions. We did hope, that the example of de. generated France, would have operattd as an in t,trudive lesson to this Country ; and we flattered ourselves, that . the baneful Fanaticism which had disgraced a portion of our National Character, had gradually declined, and given way to pore sober and rational sentiments. Instead of this, we were disgusted with a repetition of a beggarly'SpeCtacle, which revived in our recolleCtion - s, events of Chalk-farm and Copenhagen-house, as well as the wretched processions of a MAttAT anti a Itozg- If it be " better to reign in Hell -than serve in Heaven," such proceedings may be worthy of allay class of men, But if the exercise of Liberty be compatible only with the most solemn observance of Order, and resped for Established Laws, these scents must be pronounced not only hateful, hut highly repugnant to those very principles of Free dom of which the exulting Candidate has so often ayowed himself the Champion. We are not So misanthropical, or so forgetful of the duty which we owe to our Fellow.citiz . ens, as to say, Si lophlus vvylt der4l,leripiatttr ; hut we feel no hesitation- in declaring that a repetition of sr;cli scandalous Otttragec, of such prdianation - of ail Freedom, will neCessarily disgust (if it have -.cot already accomplished it every friend to the exertion of Poi ular Rights. They will so, appal the. timid, and arouse the indignation of the brave, that they will prefer any system which guarantees the ttanquillity of Social Order, rather than see the most virtuc,us men degraded (Ind trampled under the feet of a riotous, senseless, and Jacobinical Multi. :u e. Let not, however, the F:iends of Liberty and •the Constitution despair. There are Laws in England, and there is energy enough in those who execute, to make them respeatd. The triumph of Jacobinisn3 is incomplete and. short-lived. The mask will soon be removed from the face of Inv. posture, and such men as Mr. MAtrnvAß INC, Mr t PARKER COKE, and others, who are revered by their Country-men, and possess the real Votes of their Constituents, but who have been over-ruled by Uproar and Violence, will be restored to that situa tion to which they are entitled by their Loyalty, their Virtues, and the voice of their Fellow Ci. tizens. Yesterday the Directors of the Bank of Eng land had an interview with the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER, for the purpose of representing to him, that the Subscribers to the late LOan conceived that the plan which was some months since adopted, of • the Commissioners for liquidating the National Debt making, their purchases in the 4. per Cent. and 3 per Cent. Reduced Stocks only, tended greatly to depress the price of Omnium ; when the CHANCEL_ LOR of the EXCHEQUER agreed that the future put_ chases of the Commissioners should be made in the 3 per . Cent. Reduced, and the 3 per Cent. Consols. The PRINCE of WALES has given splendid Entertainments to large Parties every day at the Pavilion, since the commencement of the Itace4 at Brighton.

Sir ROBERT BARLOW, in the Tripyob of 74 guns, and a Frigate, have sailed for Algiers, in consequence of the Algerines detaining three English vessels, on 4cco4nt of their having either false Mediterranean Passes, or old ones that had been used for other vessels; they have condemned the vessels and cargoes, .and sold them.—We ex peet Sir RotERT will only demand the men from slavery. The Algerines sent a frigate and two zebecks down to the back of the rock, with the intention of taking a Portuguese line of battle ship and a frigate that cruises in tht. Gut ; they islet with only the frigate within our sight, which the two zebecks boarded and carried into Algiers, after murdering nearly all on board. We expect they will take more of them soon.

JEF.FERI's and BAR Low, polled two voters (If the name of Jefferys and Barlow, and two of the names of the ynfortunate Candidates, Messrs. • BIRD and MOORE. The Dinner at the Crown and Anchor on Thurs: day, was in the true Republican style—Ca Ira and the Morsellois Hy mn were sung—One unfortunate man who had a clean shirt and,a whole coat on, was of course suspeaed of Loyalty, and, being formally denounced, was expelled. The columns of the Morning Chronicle were never so disgraced in argument, as by the Letter signed Brutus, which appeared in that Paper of Saturday last. The Chronicle of yesterday makes a most in vnious attack upon 'Mr. MAINWARING, because a man of nearly the same name was accused in the reign of CHARLES I. of 'entertaining too nigh no. tions of the Royal Prerogative. We do not exactly see the justice of this mode of attacking a man, because another of 'a similar name may have been guilty.—We might as well accuse Sir FRANCIS BURDETT JONES of Sedition, because Mr. 3. C. Jones was tried for that offence, or attack the liimaarahlt Mr. C. Vox, because Mr. Charles Fox was conviaed at the Canterbury' Ass4 . es of uttering .4'editicvss expression. 171,17 MEMBERS RETURNED. NORTH PF.P.I7ICK, &C.-1-fort. Thorn As Maitland.

A public Breakfast took place this week on the v a rious. Green of the Prospea Coffee-House. A Band a Music was provided, and Country-Dance; commene eed at twelve o'clock, and continued till near four. The weather was favourable to . the Revellers, a"C i the people in general were very much diverted.--' About one hundred and gity persons were presenri and the Proprietor and Condo or derived s .0 mutt' advantage from the 4ntectainment, that he 114 5 resolved to resume it every -"Aonday during th M trgate Season. The scheme is quite on the 1. ,1 ' 3 of Dandelion Gardens, but is wholly in other handl! ' The Theatre on the same night was but iodic" ferently attended. The Play was Lover's Yaws. The part of Agatha was performed by Mrs. 4t4CO' Bis.Lp, a daughter-in-law of the fair Dramatistei She played with feeling, and spoke with great pre' cision. A Miss Bac!wm was the Apulia .; OP is • spirited young Mtress, - , vitit a very genteel , unaffected manner. The part of -Frederick wel hardly ever played with more ability than by Mfg ki4it Tl, ET 4 who deservew a station in London. ; ~ On Wednesday Dandelion had a Public Bredft fast, btx there were few visitors on account of the rainy weather. In the evening, IlArmosp, Drury-Lane Theatre, made his gist apPearancc this place in The Movreaincfrr, He was very welt received on his entrance, and went through diacult part of O f firpvian in a very creditable au''' net. The Play altogettler was well supported, alos excited interest and approbation. .The same eve" l ing gave us another Theatrical novelty t a lArl LEE, who appe ar ed i n t h e h ac k ne y e d parr of , 'Vetter Daggerwood, and yw :Steady, in The In the first charather he had rather too much forma' liry ; the other he performed with a manly simiSli city, The Assembly Room opened again op Thursdai last at a •Thte, anti almost desparrifrw hour. 1..0 length, however, between sixty and seventy F eP: sons were present. The chief topic of coryetV" tion arose from the hope of seeing CooKE, to Sh.ylock,the folloWing night; 4tid several parties for the Theatre were formed in consequence of o'g expectation. He was announced in the Biils for that part, and Arch' Mlarcasm, and f(-4 Richard on the Saturday. But alas ! poor CoOlq' -seem s destined to be in hot-ezeater--wlien the ence were admitted into the Theatre, the first thing that attraled their attention, was a l etter from Cooitt, stating, that he caught a violent &aro' , yes: in his journey from Birmingham to London' which prevented his visiting Margate. The Corr' pany were very much disappointed and chagrinedt and many quitted the Theatre in disgust. :0 6 Play, however, was performed. RAYMONr? ° c ';' quitted himself at least repedably , in Skyloci, all the Performers seemed anxious to atone for tilc public disappointment. The Prize was the substi' tute for Love-erda-Mode, and the whole, notwitil' 7 ' standing the first damper, went off with gro g spirit. . Yesterday morning the votaries of Pleasure, t° the number of about one hundred and fifty, assern; bled at Dandelion, at the Public lireakfist, an' were on the whole very well entertained. Raffling, as I told you, has been obliged to sub",' mit to the control of L a w ; b ut though the han d does not shake the dice box, it has transferred it s power to the tongue, which operate's with treble effect.

Dl:TEX.—Yesterday se'nnight, near 'dusk, a (Joel took place near Irishtown, Dublin, between Colonel CORRY and Mr. StoxEs,,late of the Ordnance De; partment. They fired one shot each, and the 10 4 from the Colonel's pistol struck the watch of Mr' S. and broke it, which saved the latter from being wounded ; he was somewhat hurt, however, 0 11 the force of the shot. Here the affair terminate t by the interference of their friends. The cause .001 the duel is said to have arisen from words of th e parties upoti a late business of litigation.
