As Mr. Wortley, very' unexpectedly, -brought forward the priv:ate letters of Mr. Lascelles, on Monday' tuft, oh the nomination Of Candidates for the COunty of York,• at 'a Meeting held in York City, and made some comments on that Gen tleman'i conduct; 'we deem it proper to .inwt. s hi§ vindication.. Mr. LASCELL;S—" I feel that I an') pia - 8 - tA in a situation of peculiar delicacy, in addressing the Freeholders on this occasion ; nor should I have done it had I not been anxious that my • character should, stand free from. every imputa-.. Con or appearanee of duplicity. Gentlemen, be fore I enter into any statement as to this matter. I think I havers me right to complain of the man . ner in which my : declining to offer myself for- the comity is mcrtioned, as if I had done it in inso lence, and was US be suppwr4 to be sopresump- Lions as . to think it some, degradation to solicit the votes of the Freeholders of this aoux ty ; hut nothing can he more remote from the truth than such a representation of my motives, as, will, I trust, be evident when I explain the reasons of my conduct,—Mt. Wortley has stated, with his "usual candour and fairness, the conversations which took place respecting his canvassing foi the county. Previous to Mr. Wortley commenc ing his canvass, he told me his intention. with much kindness • and consideration towards ,me, : and asked me if it was my intention to .offeranyself for the County? . I told him no ; that I had long made up my mind to - decline that hononn---The next time Mr. Wortley did me the honour toxall upon,rue at Pontefract, where I was engaged in a canvass for that Borough ; he there fairly and li berally stated, that during his canvass at. Leeds, be had found a disposition very favourable to me there, and asked me if that circumstance had made,, any alteration in tny determination ? I told him no ; : it-had made none; and I communicated to him the same answer in Writing., at his re quest; but I hardly think it fair that he has made so public an , use of these letters ; however ; he has now my consent to make what use of them he thinks will be most advatitageons tO him. When I gave these answers to Mr. Wortley, - they were the genuine dictates of my mind. 1-;hl:po reserve or concealment I was entirely, ignorant of any intention of my friends in my favour, and' knew nothing whatever of the Election but What' Mr. Wortley had told me ! This may appear asto nishing, but it is strictly true ; and I had no knowledge of what was going on, except what I gathered from hand bilis in the streets of Ponte fract ; nor did I ever take any other step than saying, that if elected, I would stand. ; that I could not reject the C oun ty of York, as I told Mr • Wortley But further than this I have not . gone ; and to some applications that were made to me subsequently as to Mr. Wortley's commu nication, I repled, No ; I cannot offer myself, I ban do nothing in it, nor will I spend' a- single shilling-upon it. And to this resolution I now ad here ; I do not •ofFer myself ; I will look most anxiously to' this point, and it was a matter of ' considerable doubt whether I should appear here, this day ; butit occurred to me, that I might,4t have a better opportunity of explaining Whatever: might arise respectin g b y c on dn c t,. - aid 1 1 ;011fiiciwys state the reasons which induced me to dpblini'the offering myself a Candidate to- representolae - County ; and I will go into a short retrospect of Myfarlianaentary history. " In 1796., I was first elected a Member for this County ; and Susequently. ,to this period served as. Member for Yorkshire bi_lween ten and eleven years. Of this period I - shall 'saytro more;- • it is not fdr to make an observation upon it. At the expiration of 1805 or .1806, some cir enmstunces arose which I shall -startlY advert to, a great ComMercial Question - was disetiised ,in the' raise - of Commons. It was myi , ntisitaitnne to differ'm *opinion upon it with a I .lr e onsfrlerable Pumber of Manuflicturers, IYhower,e,my Conati tuents ; but I have the satisfaction tii - knitw that I agreed in opinion with e n try intelliAtiwitom- 1 1 1 'Meieial * Man in the kings and, i "iiii alsii add, in Europe.. In the Midst of till; irritatiOri, the Parliament was disiolved, and - another'ileiii• leman, at this time, tupported by very extensive onnectionS and his own ex c ell e nt c h aracter , was pposed to me, an d I th oug ht i t expe di ent to re ire from the contest: This Parliament was of very short duration ; and'the dissolutions that en sued proved that' the animosities and prejudices which existed, seemed to have increased and gained strength. It was my intention not to-have offered myself . t this juncture, but I was requested by various and reSPectable bodies of men to• offer myself as your Itenreet..tative. I bad then. flattered myself iitat. ilie 'violence to which I had alludedshad sub sided ; but in this I was deceived, and the conse quence was, that- being opposed to,iNfr..\\Tilber fOrce- on the one 'side, and to the Noble Lord who now stands before you on the other, under these circumstances, after a most severe and. arduous Contest, the sense of the county;proved-to be against me. - After being twicerejected, I thought, it would not have been respectful in inc to have ' again offered myself to the Coal - 4. This COnsi deration, joined to others 'of a More private nature, gave rise to the determination which has been repreSented ,as the effect of pride and presump tion. , , . I wish to state most explicitly, that the.letters which Mr. Wortley has produced, contained my real and genuine sentiments, lest it may be _sup posed that there waS", some latent .hope . and pectation of being called out by my friends; 'but I can affirm, that such an idea never entered my. mind, and I exa solemnly say, before my God and this County, that there was not a Shadow of doubt, or hesitatioh , in 'my znind when' I 'gave' these assurances to Mr., Worticv ; it was the fixed determination of My mind, nor had I any, the most distant expectation, that such a circumstance as this would have occurred. I had no commu= . nication made to me' on the subject, and since. then, I have carefully avoided doing any thing which might be supposed to be an encouragement to the proceedings of my friends.; when applied to, to know if I would consent to be nominated, I replied, I can give ,no answer, I can do nothing and say nothing on the business ; and this is the reply I have invariably made to all applications to me upon the subject ; whatever has been done, has been done without my consent, without my concurrence, without my interfe, rence ; what can I do more than I have done ? for if my friends 'persist in bringing me 'forward, And I shoUld - be elected, what can I do; for, by. the law of your country, you,are obliged to serve. Mr. Lascelles repeated, that he had avoided all concert With his friends, and that be would not even inf Orin them whether he would consent to be nominated. Mr. Wortley, and myself, continued Mr. Lascelles had several friendly communications . , as to what weretthe proper steps for me to state on the occasion; and An advertisement was drawn up, w'4 l 4 an intention, of being published, rbut it was delayed from-this consideration, that. if I publish ed it before' there. , mis a clear - and decided-inani- festation of the intention of my friends; it might be called arrogance, or I might be accused of in a. covert way, their interference ; froM these considerations, it"was not Sent to the priri , ter's untilfriday, October 9, and it was sent With this simple note, at least in substance, for I did not think it needful to take a copy of it. Mr. Wright is requested to circulate the enclosed Ad vertisement as generally as possible:"—This was all the instruction that.was given to the Printer, and there was no mark, none written in large -characters to attract particular attention. I make these remarks because in the printed copy of the Advertisement the words " interference of my own," thetwo , last words are - printed in Italic, as if there was 'some particular meaning -in them, and it might be inferred that I meant them to be understood in a sense different to their ordinary acceptation; this distinctive mark, whatever mean-, ing it was meant to convey, was the unauthorised addition of the printer ; what I meant was, that would use: no interference whatever, and this pledge I. have kept, - and will keep.—Mr. Las ' celles again repeated that be had no reserve, that he had expressed his •• thoughts sincerely, and had, in no respect, acted. with : duplicity.—! (Plaudits). . . The thing must take it 3 own course, without any interference of mine, What 'are-the usual proceedings in cases so novel and extraordinary as this I know not ; but I will do no act. which 'shall-give effect to the proceedings of my friends; for if the honour of representing this County wai ten times greater than it :is;' I :wouH-not sacrifice the good opinion of the meanest person .whO hears Me for this•honotte."---4Eond applause.)- 2 - Mr. LascelFes further stated;, that he had no ob.= jeetionlo submit every doeuMent and torreSpon dence he had held on this occasion, tcrthe , inspec;- tion of Mr. 'Wortley.-.- - UpOn a show of II .411&,‘iii favoirr Of `tieli- of the Candidates, Ole High Sheriff prOiioUtfc'ed'the jority "to be in favoin' t'if.lames_ r Aithibahl Stuart Wortley, 1 4 :4(i. , and dui.

Lord, MILTON addressed - his' friends, after the:- Sheriff had deelard the sheiv of .hands to be in favoUr "of 'Jr. Wortley::and Laseelles, in which he stated the reasons 'why he attached no: importance to this mode of ascertaining the sense of theliireeholders, which were, first, becansel a Very large portiOn of the people assembl e d might not be Freehold ers , and secondly, because the friends of one of the Candidates lived in the neigh bourhoOd, - arid . Might be easily assembled, while his Lordship's voters lived at i'distance-, and it : was' : nOt thought necessary to urge their attendance on the present occasion.' Of .the result of the election he. had no-doubt. • He observed too that it Was unusual to assemble meetings .of that de-: scription upon a requisition that (lid not con : - tain the name of one Independent Couratry Gen tleman." Mr. WORTLEY merely expressed bis gratitude to the Freeholders for their shew,in his favour. Mr. LASCELLES —" I shall do no more than 4f 4 29.40' .I() :25 28.81 29.15' Rain Do. Do: — Do. Do. Do.

The fellow followed the prose cutor to his place of servitude, and in order to rid himself of him,' the complainant agreed to see him at his master's house' n Wednesday evening, .and early on Monday morning he very properly ap plied at this Office, procured a warrant for the as sault on the preceding night, and apprised- the officers of the „proposed meeting.

This was to lacerate, lii;:self its the head with a razor, which had pro duced the wound now exhibited, and for which be was some time in 'the hospital at New Bruns wick.
