>' ~'.4 . 1 MIDDLESEX ELECTION. BRENTFORD, THURSDAY, JULY 26. THE result of this day's Poll was extremely auspi.', cinus to Mr. MAI NWARI sp, for on casting up the books, the numbers stood thus : /wird ibis Day. . Total po//vd. MOPritr • Mr. M AINW ARANO 252 , 1 495 7 1 - , Sir F. DURAL 1 r ISZ . 1424 . — SI soon as the result hat: been reported by the. ' - Sheriff, Sir FRANC IS ButtoeTT stepped forward, and ad., dressing his friends, requested it might be recoiled. - ed that, at the close of the Poll yesterday, he had. professed-no very strong reliance on the issue of this, day, but had expressed his confidence, that on Fri. day and Saturday such exertions would be made to give him a decided majority, as would defeat the •hores of his adversary. In the interim between that time and this, he had been pradising the pre. Cept he then pressed on his friends, in an attive can. .stasS.,.and he had the pleasure to assure them, that the tesult had been such as to warrant him in re. .peating, with the firmest reliance, the assurance he -gave' them yesterday, that the exertions of 10.1TIOra rost , and Saturday would place him in a 'high majo. lily on the Poll, whereon his antagcnist, for the pre. sent, had a .temporary advantage ; but his friends . would, however, feel (notwithstanding the confi. deuce he had the firmest ground to entertain) the ne cessity of an indefatigable perseverance in their ex. ettions to bri ng the contest to a speedy and decisive • issue, which he felt the strongst hope would be ho nourable and triumphant to the cause of Freedom, and Independence. NOtwithstanding the advan. tage this day, of which his adversaries seemed so much to. ex u l t , hi s f r i ends, who eecolletted the great and fluttuating majorities which during former eleeliona had prevailed, sonata see nothing in the majority o f t hi s d ay 'i n the least degree dispiriting, or 4 ffoiding any reason for apprehension on, his aide, or any iolid cause of triumph to hit opponents. But whatever s h ou ld b e the anal isms of - the struggle in which the Independent Freeholders of Middle. sex w ere now ertiberked with him, he hoped they 1 w ould Participate with him in the high satisfaition he should feel in liberating the "Freedom and In. dependence of this great and tespdtable County from the pressure of that mass of corrupt in fluence Under which it had so long laboured, namely, the votes of above 440 Perim"' heretof:ne admitted M e r ely in virtue of their official situations, and which always rendered them subservient to Nli . 11i8 teried aidation, and expoied the County to all the corrupt influence of a rotten Borough. In the course of the struggle wherein he bad stood forward to v i n di cate the independence of the Coun. ty, those votes had been completely cut off, and that Independence solar restored. Whatever, therefore, might be the ultimate issue of the struggle with re. vett to himself, he should feel his exertions amply compensated by the satisktion ot having been so far instrumental in rescuing the honour .and in. dependence 'of Middlesex from the mass o f i n. : fluence he had- alluded to.

In conclusion, he professed to look forward to the happiness of the People and a free C*nititution. It is needless to say that this harangue was well received by those who heard ir. Sir FRANCIS then gave " A retrosped to Magna Charm, and the Bill of Rights, and attention to the fragments which re. main." The mention of fragment: cast a gloom over the lower part of the company, who, though they had picked the hones at dinner, seemed hardly satisfied with their occasional repast. • Mr. HARR TOWNSEND, the son of the late Mr. Alderman TOWNSEND, then felt an oratorical sti. mulus, and in a dull, laboured, hesitating manner, made a . speech which nearly set the company asleep. Among other observations of equal weight, the, orator most absurdly remarked, that the conduft of one of the Candidates was more fitting the purlieus of Jacob's Well than the Hustings at Brentford.— As nothing can be more proper than the conduel of Mr. MAINWARING, Whom the rabble in the op. posite interest will not suffer to speak, this remark can only apply. to Sir FRANCIS, whg is the idol of that rabble, and animates their proceedings. Mr. TOWNSEND concluded with " May Englishmen have one mind, one heart, one soul, in support of Public Men, ading on principles of constitutional integrity." A Mr. CLITFORD then addressed the Meeting, with even less eloquence than Mr. TOWNStND, though he is said to be a Member of the Bar. This person entered into a dull comparative state ment of the Poll in 1802 and at present, and con- . eluded with advising the Company individually to bring up to the Poll at least one Freeholder every day. The health of Citizen Fox was then given, and drank with applause. The Noble Chairman then seemed to conceive that something was expea ed from him. He pronounced a panegyric on Sir FRANCIS, and attempted to palliate what the latter had said on a former occasion, when he declared that . the Country ought nut to be defended in a crisis of difficulty and danger. The Chairman was evi dently embarrassed on this point, because the words of Sir FRANCIS arc upon record, and the Baronet himself had not courage enough to rise and give countenance to what. the Chairman said, by disavowing the sentiments of which the latter laboured to acquit him. 'bird -WILLIAM, at length tired with the disgusting scene before him, left the Chair, which was then taken by Mr. Wu- Lt Aim Smtru. Sir FRANCIS, instead of adverting to the subjett of the Chairman's unlucky attempt at vindication, wisely proposed the health of the Pa INCE of WALEs,by way of palliating his free com ments on the Civil List, and the expenditure of the Princes of the Blood. The Meeting soon after became so turbulent, that all decent people withdrew, anti the re f use t h at rem a ined drank themselves into such a state, that it would have been impossible for them to discriminate the interests of either Candidate. The street before the Crown and Anchor was.full of drunken rabble, shouting and bellowing in piaise of their favourite Candidate. CORN EXCHANGE, JULY 27.

M A ANWARINQ and his friends his - succeeded in detecting many cases of gross perjury during the present Election, and that measures are now taking for bringing such offenders to condign punishment. Trusty men, who 'are well acquainted with the description of petsons most likely to be the instru, meats of Corruption at Btentford, are, we under. stand, so judiciously placed that nu one can escape their vigilance. The Jacobin Cand;datt far liddleitx is so con. vinced of the irresistible strength of his own argil:. tents, that he will not suffer those of his opponent to be heard. The Audi alteram partene forms no part of the Creed of a man who is an enemy nut only to justices, but to justice, and who wishes all Laws to be repealed, that all Crimes may pass unpunished The most enlightened supporter of Sir FRANCIS BURDETT yesterday, at the. Crown and Anchor, was GLossor the Tallortv.chandler. The opponents of Mr. MAINWARING, jun. say, It is odd that he has nu, kind ofhlnric. Any music that he-or his friends could bring, would have little chance against fathosts roaring, and the delightful tones of Sir Fitotracts Bunnerr's Minstrels, mar. rostirybOnes and cleavers.

AMERICA. NEW.YOKK, JUNE 19. . The British Frigate CambriaN, Capt. BRADLEY, of 44. guns, and the Sloop of War Driver, Capt . . LYI.. ) of 18 guns, anchored on Saturday last at a short distance from the French Frigates in seven days from Halifax. The Leatuter was not ready to sail; we are assured, however, that she would follow them in about a week. The Boston Frigate, which was at Charleston on the 3d inst. is also ex. peeled here in a few days. Jrßoma BONAPARTE and Lady, we are informed, took a sail on Saturday in the Pilot Boat Brotbire, and went round the: Cambrian and Driver. We know not how to re— concilc this with a report which prevailed yester— day, that he had sailed on Saturday in the Ship. Silenus for Amsterdam. The British Ship Pitt, which art ived yesterday in 52 days from Greenock, was taken possession of by six armed Boats from the British Men of War, for the purpose of pressing the people. JUN . F. 20.—Yesterday morning the British Fri. gate Boston, of 44. guns, came to anchor in the Bay. We understand the Captain came up in a pilot-boat, and went on board of the Cambrian Frigate. A Gentleman who arrived in this City a few days since, from Guadaloupe, informs, that 14e was on board the Packet Marlborough when captured by the French Privateer General Erma): Oi this event he gives the following account : About five • o'clock on the morning of the 25th April, the Pri vateer came close up in the Packet's wake, when an engagement instantly commenced. The Packet having only twelve muskets tit far use, wished to lay her broadside to the enemy, but owing to the lightness of the wind the vessel would not wear. The Privateer, on the other hand, fought 99 mos_. kets, making the shot fly about the Mgr/boring/4's deck and rigging like hail. A running fight was Onndufieti in this manner for an hour and a' quarter, during which time the Frenchmen twice attempted to board, and were twice repulsed. Finding, how. ever, that it was in vain any longer to continue a resistance which must necessarily' terminate in de. feat, Capt. BULL and several men being wounded, and the Enemy evidently determined to carry the Packet, the Mail was thrown overboard and the Colours struck, Captain Btu!. was shot through the cheek, the ball entering at his mouth: not less than so shot were aimed at him during the engagement. The man at the helm was also a Ire. quent mark. Three men besides the Captain were wounded. Upon being carried into Basseterre the Crew were thrown into dungedn, and' treated with a harshness bordering on cruelty. A letter from a. person in St. jagorle Cuba, dated May 6, to a friend in this City,. sates, that a re, volt had taken place among the Blacks, who have risen and massacred several 'of the Spanish, inhabi. tants. in , addition to these; alartning symptoms, armed Brigand Boats from Hispaniola., were, daily making incursions on, the shore, plundering,and de, stroying the inhabitants. Apprehensions were so serious of approaching distress and bloodshed, that the White residents were preparing, with all possi ble expedition, to leave the place, the.. only proba. I ble means of saving their lives. . „ Juttit letter from Natchez,. dated ,43th ult. states ; that" a very heavy, rain has swept Away all the bridges in the country great damage hat been done to the crops. .Property, including mills, cotton gins . ,, slaves, cattle, horses, Sec. has been destroyed, to the amount of zoo,ooo dollars. Our country is rather gloomy at present ; no cash in cir. culation, .and but little business." Capt. GR trirtwo, of the SChooner nwo B robe rs, arrived at Philadelphia in twenty days - from St. ja. go de Cuba, informs, that the Spanish Government had ordered all prizes, without discrimination, to leave the Port, and in future would not permit them to enter. The French daily take them out, set fire to, and then desert them. Capt. G. .possesses no particulars as to the revolt of the Slaves in St. Jago. Accounts from St. Domingo, received at Alex. aodria, confirm the report of the indiscriminate butchery of women and children, Landing one morning, this informant adds, he saw lying on the beach the,corese of a • betutiful young woman, her arms tied behind her, and a large wound through each breast, and three of the same sex lying by her, with the same marks of the infernal barbarity of these murderers. An English Lieutenant of a Frigate Off the town, resenting the same harsh treatment, had a difficult. escape to his Ship,. the Comniander . of which, hearing his complaint, required •the Ameri. cans to haul out of the. way, chat he might lay Isis ship to batter the town.. The satisfaffion, he re. nulled, at first denied, was now acceded too The extensive influence of this Revolution cannot be calculated, hut it begins to be estimated as par. watotis to other islands. ft An industrious Frenchman, named Lewis L'Orient (but better known in this place by the name of Lek. Sharp), who for some years kept a retail dry gond store in Church.street, was fond murdered in -his bed on Sunday morning last, having his duvet per. forated, and his head and'body mangled in a barbar. ous and inhuman manner. He was an eccentric charafter, lived by himself, and, notwithstanding his business was cantina, still lit amassed a largeauin of ready cash, which he kept ~by him for the pnrprtse of attending veodues, nor having Confidence in any body. A eroW.bar and two chisels were found io the house. It is supposed the murderer, have •gOt . a considerable sum in gold and banknotes: There was near t so weight of silver indollars; St:!, found in the house, which they had not time to catty off. This unfortunate man had a wife anti ehiid, whieh, we are told, he sold some years ago, and that he was lately in Baltimore in the capacity of a servant. A little after the above shocking murder was dis. covered, a young fellow of the name of Greetilow, or Greenow, was apprehende& on suspicion, and after a . stria examination, it transpired that the on. fortunate man had been gaming with him at'a house of ilLfame on Saturday night, and had lost some money ; also the smith that made the crow came forward and mad,: oath, that Greentow was - the man who ordered and paid 'for it. This, with other s rung leytitntinieS, induced the examining Magi. strafes to commit him to prison ; and last evening a man of the name of SrnAlt was also committed to tit inn, on li u Tido nof being acczasary in t't:z above wurd,:i. On & mustily last arrived in thiscity the Baron Humboldt, iccompanietl by two of his fellow tra. yellers in South Anierica. The B,ron Humboldt is a aistinguished philosopher of Prussia, of which country he is a native. Aaimated by the wide field for research presented by the New ‘Vorld, he, about six years ago, under the auspices Of the King . of Prussia, arid with facilities to intercourse . arl - Qrdcd by the Monarchy of Spain, exchanged the ease and enjoyments of his own country for the hardships and perils of a climate to which he had been entire. ly a stranger. Since that period he ha , been aictively engaged in exploring the interior of S mth Ame rica; in making himself acqu tinted with the ru,tn nets of the inhabitants, their numbers and theii pO litical economy ; in making astronomical observa_ lions, for which he was provided with the best instrument ; in examining the animal and sregeiablts kingdoms, and in becoming acquainted, from per. sons! observation, with the Mountains, Volsom and mines so numerously scattered over the country. H e ha' s h a d t h e singular good fortune of ha v ii g endUred, for a considerable length of time, a degrele of heat, in which the mercury stood at los degteet, without exp n erieCing one day's sickness ; and Of p•assing through a greater variety of climates than are tai be found in any other quarter of the &Ise. Ainong his proudest trophies i s t he h av i ng ga t i ,d a higher eminence of the Osimhorasso (itselt by tar the highest mountain io the wor1.1), than had ever before been reached.by natives or foreigners. He is about returning to Europe to h aiblish the result of his researches, which - we have no doubt will not only give new views of a large porti , m of South America, but likewise rescue the a,:counts rf • that region tiorn the fiction and incorreCtuess with which they are at present enveloped.
