ELECTION. ; EttENTFORD, AtmUST ;7. THE clOie of this day's Poll may be considered as decisive of the issue• of the Election ; as Sir FRANC CS BURDETT was only one a.head on the day's Poll, which leaves a majority of 86 in favour of Mr: MAINWARING. The numbers polled this day. were, FM' Sir FRANCIS BUltrilLTT • • '137 Mr. MAINWARING 136 . .

Mr. IVlAtigwAiti NG attempted to speak, bur, as usual, the clamour of the Rabble prevented his being heard. The populace were extremely vociferous against dose whom they supposed to he adverse to Sir FRANC IS. Many combats took place; and the road from Hammersmith to St. James's-strect was one continued crowd. We did not hear of any mischief !riving been done, or of any material violence fered. A new regulation was adopted, and nut a Lady was suffered to appear on the Hustings. The State of this D.ty's Poll at Brentford, at Twelve o'clock, was, Sir FRANCIS BURDETT - • • Mr. MAiNWARING • • • • • 'Majority . • A mistake was made in casting up the numbers at Brentford on Monday, Of t 2 against Mr. MAIN wAR.ING ; that Gentleman's m aity, at the close Of yesterday's Poll, was consequently really 98. The Ship 'that was dragged to Brentford with a twigs of Voters for Sir FR.A.Ncts Bum) FTT, was rather a bad omen for the Baronet, as it seemed to shew that he was aground. It is nut a little curious that one of the friends of Sir FRANcp Ilu►tus•rr knocked down a Gentleman in opposite interest, un the,Hustings, a day u: two - ago, - and then said "Oh ! if such proceedings as these take place we must send tut the Boxers:" The celebrated ARTHUR O'CONNOR, fimiter& the intimate friend of Sir FRANCIS BURDETT, has just been appointed a General of Division under the new . Emperor of France. Sir FRANCIS Buttoirr, doubtless, will take :lie first opportunity, not only of disclaiming all friendship for this infamous Rebel, but will also, with the true spirit of an Englishman, stigmatize his acceptance of an appointment in an Atmy intended to be employed in overthrowing that CODSCII4tion to which Sir FRANCIS professes a strong attachment., Sach conduet, on the part of Sir FRANCIS, is the more.necessary, because AR. 6'' , ...otitiott has taken a command in an Army destined tot the invasion of Great Britain, at a time When Sir FRANCIs has declared, that the Country contains nothing worth defending. 'Lord MstAftt.t.E, - says an Opposition Paper, cannot be accused` of it:cat/sir/env, as he has through the whole of his political career spoken but one language. It may be added, that that language wit% never the' language of faaion, which is :mare than the Paper alluded to can say on tie harangues of any one of its political favourites. It is not generally known, that among other ex. i traordinary elevations to which the French Revolt'. lion hits given birth, General BRUNE, now the lot. perial Ambassador fr,m Fiance to the GRAND 1 SE .

CROfTfN AArA' VCHOR. Yestettpay, about one &clock, se'veral Farniere s Coach. Masters; Horse-dealers; &c. assembled, pur suant to public advertisement, to 'consider of the most effeilital means for voluntarily giving prompt Assistance to GoVernment 4 , ,ith horses, carriages; and drivers; to 'convey troops and .stores to the Army in the event of Invasion. Sir Bitook VVA-r -sox took the Chair, and having addressed tb.e Meet.' ing at some length, concluded by recommending two Lists for Subscription, one . stating the number of carriages, horses, harness;. and drivers the person subscribing was willing td furnish gratis, and the other what number, of each for 'a, stipulated price; In the, course of liiiobservations, he reminded the Meeting of thegreat and pcculiaradvantages afford ed to the Country in case of InVasion by the vast number of horses, carriages, carts, and wiaggons the People of this Country Were possessed of. The former alone, horses, could • not be estimated at less than three millions. Against that period when exertion might become necessary, it was right to encourage, by previous regulations; a pl a n t o render these resources most available. Many would doubt. less contribute largely without any consideration. Some, however, might be in a situation that would not admit of their dpinrso. These, he thought, should have a fair and moderate compensation allow. ed them for the use of their Cattle iind carriages. The amount of this compensation would best be settled by a Committee appointed for that purpose . ; which Cotinittee, lie would also suggest, might.be requested to tarty the two Lists about in tht Metro. polls arid its neighbourhood, and obtain signatures from those who were unable to attend. There was a material point on - which he ,wished to make some observation. It wa3 obvious that the cattle and carriages famished on this occasion might be lost or destroyed ; in this, case he pledged himself to pro. cure a fair compensation to the individual I as it was but equitable, that the loss occasioned in the service of all, should, in a just proportion, be borne by, all. He trusted, however, the 'exertion would he but very transient. God forbid that the Enemy Shahid g:-.t such a footing in this Country as to render it of long continuance. The more proMpt and general, however, the exertion was made to resist them, the shorter would he their stay, and the less mischief would they occasion. There was another point of some consequence that had recently occurred to him: He would recommend to the Meeting to add to the two previous Resolutions, an engagement to furnish their respective quotas of horses and drivers, with provisions and provender for 'forty-eight hours ; this WAS the more necessary as in the immediate hurry of the moment it would be' impossible, without great trouble and delay, for Government to apportion these articles in the numerous places that would be neces. sary, if they' in the first instance were to find them. He would also observe, that as some persons might have horses and carriages, without harness or drivers, and some, harness and drivers without the former, it might be tight to have a column in the Resolutions specifying these distinilions, so that Government might be exailly apprized of the whole Resources of the Country. A light convenient Carriage for the Transporting of Troops had lately been invented, which, would greatly come in aid of 'these voluntary offers. Of these, he, in his official capacity as Commissary Ge neral, would take care to obtain and station in con. venient plaCes a number adequate . tei all possible emezgency. The LORD MAyott had advertised a Meeting of Merchants for similar purposes, on Thursday next ; and another on Friday, on alike nature, for the West End of the Town, will be held at the Thatched House Tavern, in •St. James's. street, . these might be of considerable importance ; but it was principally in persons in the state of life of those he now addressed, and in those they Might influence, that dependance was to be placed for ef.._ fettual assistance in these matters. A Gentleman wished to be informed what notice would be considered necessary for assembling ? and . asked, • whether those per-ons engaged to furnish horses for the Mails, would, on offering them or G verninent, be exonerated from their Contrails It WAS obvious too, as to inclembification, that horses very valuable in Mail w ork, might not be worth touch when they were taken from that and applied to another. He thought the matter shot'id be as. certained ; but considered that, independent of the Mail horses. the Country could furnish more horses thirt! Government could possibly require. In answer to these observations, Sir BROON WATSON said, that the local situation of the horses, &c. might be specified,' and a properlendeztrous ap. pointed by the Committee. • Such as were in the West of London need not be brought in the first in. stance to London. They might be tendered for service where they 'were, 'as it was probable their destined occupation would he :to convey Troops, &c. from that quarter to the East of London. ,For this purpose Bagshot Heath would be a good place of rendezvous. As to the question concerning the release from Mail Contrails, the answer to that would exceed his present means of information ; but. he would take care very speedily to acquaint bitn,elf to, that subjeil. With respect to the services of Mail horses, they either must he, exempt as being now in the service of Government, or a proper coin pensation for service And loss.must be ascertained by the Committee. These, and other matters of this kind, would best be considered by the Committee. on a fair consideration of the case. He Would pro pose, therefore, that every tote pritent be on the appoint others to' t ; Cthoaltn'in ee th i l t ytl a o t ul l d h i a m v m e e p i o li ' a Ye te r ly to deaw up R..:solutioiss to the eff,:il of what he had 'above suggested, and circulate them In the Public Papers. This being agreed to, he thanked the company for their attend trine, and said the objet of the Meeting was now completed.
