. . cess of this. day's Poll in favour of the gallant Admi.:- rid and his Right Hoh. Friend: Hetold them rester-! day what would be the result of those aaive exertions on foot for his. Right Hem. Friend. He told them that Mr. Paull would speedily flag in his career. The re sult had verified his predi6lions. Yesterday his Right Hon. Friend polled as many 'as Mr. Paull : he had polled three for his one. But what would the Eleao-s say w hen they should be told, that out of the two thou sand and odd votes which enabled Mr. Paull to boast so high a majority yesterday, no less than six hundred and thirteen were detee. - 1- 7 ed to be bad ; given by men 'who paid neither house-rent nor poors'-rates ; but who voted under the influence of the porter-pot, , so powerful a sti mulus in Mr. Paull's estimation. To-morrow his Right Hon. Friend, instead of three; would poll five to one with Mr. Paull, who, if he bad any good sense remaining, would now resign a contest which' it would be impossible for him to maintain with the slightest probability of.succesk, and repair, with the shattered remnant of ,his forces, to support his friend, Sir Francis Burdett, at the Middlesex Elec tion. However, hiS consequence, as a Candidate for Westminster, had ' but another solitary 'day to live. To-morrow evening would cloSe upon , him like death—and he would rise no more, except per haps to join the horde of his partizans on Monday in the drunken' march to Brentford. He now con jured the Ele&ors to redouble their exertions, and join _their forces to-morrow for the final decision of the contest, tqcrown the Eleaiion of.his Right Hon. Friend, and the gallant Officer now allied with him, and who might then be at liberty to return to his Squadron, and proceed 'to reap new laurels in what ever quarter of the globe his country might demand his. services. He concluded by apologizing once more for the absence of his Right Hon. Friend, whose illness continued, .from the stroke of a ,blud geon, received on quitting the hustings, from a ruf fian, on Monday. Hoping that lie would be able to return them his thanks in person, on the close of morrow's poll, he trusted they would now join in 21,hearty cheer of three times three to the success of. his Right Hon. Friend, and the gallant Admiral. He Was most generally and warmly joined by the mul titude in this testimony of mutual good wishes. Sir SAMUEL Hoors was now loudly called on to express his sentiments; when he thanked his friends irlost cordially fOr the new proofs of their zeal which they had given him Iliat day, and the result of that deal in a tritirriPlyriit majority : in the fullest confi dence that thosd exertions would be manfully con tinned, he hopid that the, majority of to-morrow Would be decisive of the EleCtion, and prove their i;li!terrnitiation manfully to support the Ctastitutional Representatives against a man inimical to the Con stitution itself. He gloried in being joined, on this bccasion, in common interests with a Colleague who had been ever a zealous friend to the Constitution, and whose manly and spirited conduCt in Parliament, On the ever-memorable and most alarming occasion Of the Mutiny at the Nore, was tile means of re storing the Navy from confusion and revolt to order and subordination : a conduet that 'should ever en dear him to the Navy of England, and to tliat Coun try whose security, in such times as these, so mate rially.depends upon that proud and invincible bul wark. Mr. PAULL said, he was far from being deterred ty the state Of the Poll : he had no doubt but"the Eleetors would, by their exertions, do justice to the indepetidence of their cause. He 'should certainly assist his Friend Sir Francis, at Brentford ; but he should not decline the contest till the very last mo inent. The nuthbers.polled y6terday were— For Sir S. Hoot - 79 6 Mr. SHERIDAN 724 Mi. Paint - • - • 374 MR. SHERIDAN's DINNER. 'The friends of Mr. S4ERIDAN, rejoicing in their success, repaired from the hustings yesterday to. the Shakspeare Tavern, where a splendid dinner was provided. The Chair was taken by Lord WiLLIAM RtiSSILL j and the company; amounting to upwards of !ZOO, consisted of the most .respectable Ele6tors of Westminster. After the cloth was removed, the toasts giVen were, The king; with three times three, and loud plaudits.. The Prince of Wales, with three times three, and. laudits. Mr. Sheridan and the Independent Lletiors of Westrnin with three times three—(Long continue cheerings, hutzas, and every expression of regard and adMiration). Mr. SCOTT returned thanks in the name of Mr. Sheridan. He was sensible how:' extremely wrong it *mild beior him - to trespass on the company as the representative of such a distinguished orator as Mr. Sheridan'. He entertained no doubt but the Right Hon. Gentleman would be plaCed in that situation. which he alone was capable of adorning; after such an illustrious Statesman as they hid just lost.—(Great applause.) Sir Samuel Hood, acrid success to his Elei.lion, with three times three. . . A young NAV/iL,OFFlCEit—Gentleriien, I return you thanks for Sir S. Hood.-- . (Reitcrated plaudits.) Lord W. RUSSELL—GentlemenOt has'.been sug gested to me to propose a toast,which I do with. thoSe feelings you can better under Stand than I can ex press. It will be best drank in silence, without those indication§ of enthusiasm which accornpan7 your other toasts. The Immortal Mcmory of Mr. Fox.' It was drank in mournful silence. TheiCause of Liberty all over the World, with three times :three. Mr. INCLEDON sung the following Song, written by Mr. DinnlN, which was ordered to be printed!' Ye Lads who wish NVeli to the spot of your birth, The most independent and happy on earth ; It rests with yourselves that in future you be— As you ever yet . nAvs been 7 United and Free. It-depends on yourselves that no Hypocrite rob ThiS Land of its Rights by the threats of a Mob ; You ne'er will givc.way to the bluster and noise • Of Impostors, who CALI. themselves Liberty Boys The Men who front harm would your Country save, Are not bUllies nor blackguards, but men truly brave: The one who for years has made Freedom's cause smile, The other Who first broke the line at the Nile. -The 'People's real Charnpious, believe me, are thpse within and without doers :are combat; oir r ^i v! Give }my VA;te~ to the tine ; 'Wild scorn to rob P iTILR by paying 0 P , A UL; What more can I say your good will to inspire Tcwaru thoSe who both burn with true Freedom's best fire?

But'the Friends and Companions of NELSC X and Fox Then fill up your glasses, my lads, while I sing The Navy, HOOD, SHER IDA N, and our good ; May Englishmen never with nonsense be cramm'd, And poly Y'S supporters all die and be damn'd I The next toast was, The Worthy Eledors of Westminster; and may their e7;er tions in the Cause of Freedom be crowned with complete Suc cess, with three times three. Mr. SCOTT proposed " The Health of Lord William Russell, and the Independent Electors of Surrey. ' • Lord Wm: 'RusspiL.—" Gentlemen, I thank you very kindly for the great honour you have done me in drinking my health, 'together with that of the in dependent body, of men it is my honour to represent. I trust the Eledors of Westminster will not, now, for the first time, disgrace themselves by the election .of a man in every respe& so unworthy to represent them as Mr. Paull. lam not surprised at the num bers he has polled—considering the means he has resorted to, they do not equal what might have been expected. But I own lam surprised that the friends of Mr. Sheridan should have so long neglected to come for Ward—they have done so pow, and their success is certain: I shall not attempt to pronounce a' panegyric upon Mr. Sheridan—you are well ac quainted with his character. It is for you to give etre& to his exertions to serve you, by placing him and Sir Samuel HOod - high on the, poll. I contem plate the result of the.Eleetion without uneasiness, fully persuaded that it will terminate in favour of the long-tried Champion of the Freedom of the Con stitution, the prosperity and glory of the Country, the independence•of this City, and the freedom of the . People.—Gentlemen, I have now to propose to you a toast, but different from the manner in which it • has been used to be drank ; I .propose the health of Mr. Byn„cr. It has been customary to accompany it with the health of Sir - Francis Burdett. lam' sorry that it is not in my power'to do so now.—(Contihiicd . plaudits filled ,the room.)—lt -is, Gentlemen, • with heartfelt sorrow that I assure you, the apostacy of Sir Francis from those principles Which would haVe secured hiM firmly the Whig Interest, has lost him the possibility of ever receiving it. It is with regret— I say it in the face of the world—that Sir Francis Bur dett, in forfeiting the support of the Whig Interest; •bas, forfeited mine. His condu& has, I think, reduced him to the level even of the Candidate proposed by Mr. Bowles. It has been chiefly owing to the friends of the true principles of the Constitution hav ing -been engaged-at the different elect ions; that a proper Candidate for Middlesex has not been nomi nated. If iSir 'Francis' Burdett loses his ele&ion, which unquestionably be will, he must 'feel that he has lost it, not by Mr. Bowles's enmity, bUt by his having forfeited all claim to the affections of such persons as those by whom I am now surrounded." The Noble Lord concluded by drinking the healths of Mr. Byng, and the Independent Freeholder of •Middlesex, which were drank with three times, three. Eis Lordship next gave Mr. Peter Moore, with three times three. Mr: P. MOORE rose to return his sincere thanks to the Noble Lord and the Independent Elec tors of Westminster. Exhausted as he had been by Ilk efforts in 'his own behalf at Coventry, he was still more so by those he had made in the City' of WeStininster. He felt himself impelled by every laudable motive to come fbrward- upon an 'occasion which so Materially concerned the dearest interests • of the Electors of Westmin ster. The triumph of this day he considered as decisive ; the event of to-morrow would put the eleCtion of Mr. Sheridan 'beyond the possibility of hazard. He observed that he had been one of the foremost adherents of Sir Francis Burdett; when he . thought he meant what was upright and honourable. He had stood by him at the hazard of every thing dear to him ; but now that he found him an apostate; declaring that the country should have no Povern ment but,what he dilated, he disavowed all con nexion with him. He proceeded to .inform the company, that some of the highest and most respeaable chara&ers in• the country had entered into a munificent subscription to support the cause of Mr. Sheridan. The remainder ; of his' observations related merely to matters of de tail respeaing the. Committees of Sir S. Hood and , Mr. Sheridan, and the most certain means of assur ing the Eleaion of both. PERRY, recommended that every possible exertion should" be made till the Election of Mr. Sheridan was Secure. Many other Toasts besides those we have enume rated were drank. Several admirable Songs were sung by Messrs. IttcLEnot4, Dtotqum, GIBBON, ,&c. Bathe remainder of the evening continued, as it hid commenced, to afford the highest gratification to tlic nurnerous and respeelable company assembled. DUBLIN, Nov. 4. A few days since a formal notice was sent by the. 'Secretarytof his Grace, the Duke of BEDFORD, to the LORD MAYOR, stating, that in consequence of .some disputes that had originated from the accustomed procession and. rejoicings on the anniversary of King WILLIAM7s hirth-day, it- was his intention not to go ,in state round the Statue. In. the. letter, also, his Grace expressed a wish that no procession what ever. should take place. Notwithstanding this tire, which was 'generally known ; the different Yeo manry Corps, this *day assembled at their 'Parades; marched to College Green,. and 'fired three rounds, .. .as usual, round King WlLLtAm's-Statue,,,which was deCoraied on the occasion with a profusion of blu e and orange ribbands. It is feared that some -dis turbariCes will take place this night on account of this new arrangement, which has given Much off fence to the Orange_ party. The Sheriffs' and City Offieers, however, *are busily employed in prbvetit , ing disturbances. 'Thursday five men, charged with houghink 'and strangling- cattle, in the neighbuurhood of Dingle, 'County of Kerry, were committed to the Jail of that county.

IVENV YORK, Sizr. 25. ,--The Tunisian Envoy, with his Suite, has at last sailed for his own toun, try, in' the Two Brothers, chartered by Govern ment to carry them home. It is said this African mission has cost the United States 200 dollars per Week ever since its arrival. By Norfolk Papers received yesterday we learn, that the French Consul at Norfolk has refused to acknowledge the crew •of L' Impetueux as pri soners of war, or give a receipt for the same, 2$ she was captured within the jurisdiction of the United States. The Virginia Argus of the loth states, that " it appears to have been ascertained, beyond a doubt, that the yellow fever has made its appearance among the convicts in our Penitentiary. Seven or' eight have been attacked with the disease; one of 'whom has died. It has hitherto been ~ a question, whether or not the fever with which our cities have been Affli6. - ted was imported ? The circumstance of its appearing in the Penitentiary, where there -was no possible chance of its being commtinicated from any other place, proves most incontestibly, that it is of domestic origin. No unusual sickness prevails in the city at this time." NEW 'YORK, SEPT. 26.---MISSISSIPPI TERRITO RY, AUG. 18.-" Governor CLAIRBORNE was hee all last week ; and being :called by express, left Natchez yeterday morning. The Spanish Party that had been sent to stop our exploring party (un der FrtExMAN). had •arrived at the Cado towns on the Red' River, twenty days after our party bad passed the same place ; and findirig the American flag flying there, cut it down, and .rebuked the Indians for suffering it to be set up, or us to enter :the. 'Spanish territory. The Cado Chief replied, that the Cado were an . independent people, 'and the Americans their .friends, and they would pro te& 'them. The Spaniards set off in pursuit of our party up the Red River; but they had got 150 or 200 miles in advance of them ; six hundred Spanish cavalry had arrived at the Sabine, dossed, and possessed themselves of the post from which Cap tain TURNER had driven them last spring. This circumstance required the presence of the Governor to call out the Militia which he had been organizing for some timeprevious. " An old soldier from the Aplusia Country, who passed here to-day, met Governor CLAIRBORNE. yesterday twenty miles beyond the Mississippi.;, he had tired one horse, and had got another and proceeded rapidly on his j our ney.. B e f o r e he left the APlusia, the Militia there had been called out to aid the regular troops, and the spirit of the people was very much roused. Colonel CUSH.. ING had determined to fight the Spaniards who had crossed the Sabine. , The troops under his com mand at Natchitoches may be hbout,soo Regulars ; the Militia of this territory are ordered to. be in readiness. cc . The soldier reports from- Aplusia, that 2000 more Spaniards were on their *ay tb the Sabine, with 500 mules laden with provisions, Brc. This, if true, will make a force superior in number to our Regulars ; and some entertain doubts, though I do. not, of the attachment of the. Militia on the other side. In this territory, we can, without difficulty, have 700 or 1000 Volunteers, at a few hours notice, and *hose a6tiVity will render them fit for im mediate service. At any rate, if the Spaniards do but •come down, we shall be able to give a good account of them. .The Spaniards report, that they mean: to re-occupy all 'the 'Louisiana country, and say they have emissaries in the United States."

He remains ns a pri vate p'erson, at a sort of public dancing-house, which he has engaged. Brunswick is occupied by the Prenth. When they arrived there, one of their first MeagUres was to disarm and dismiss the garrison, consisting of ?No men. They are said to have plundered almost every 'where , (except at Brunswick). At Weimar the an 7 tient Dutchess. threw herself at the feet of the ,conquerors. It was not wholly in vain. BoNA-, PARTE said, his troops, should not be perm„itted to have more than seven hours to gratify their avarice ;. then it should cease, as an especial favour ' granted at her intercession. This city is completely filled with fugitives, and ' others, who are conveying themselves and their property to some place of security, - and adjusting their affairs after.the'general tumult. All the Inns and coffee-houses are placarded with an 'Order froni the Senate, that no person is to speak on : political af fairs ; and the Mandate in every company is striEtly• obeyed, from, the immediate' danger that would at tend the . infringement Under a systein of eSpionage; must curiously interwoven With the, public policy of the city. Among the complicated causes' of 'the late . diSas -ters, oilp of the most pernicious is reported to be ; 'the treachery of one of the Prussian Ministers. This monster is' said to have kbpt 4n his Pockets for 2 i days the dispatches for accelerating the advance of the Russians.; 'and it is said, that a sithilar a& of treachery decided the day on the 14th. Over-night the Prussians had orders•to commence the attack at four A. M. These instru&ions were communicated to the Enemy; 'and at brie A. M. before the Prus sianq were in order of battle, the attack by the French' commenced ; in the confusion, an opening on the right wing was made. BONAPARTE; imper ceptibly, threw in 20,000,men, with artillery; -on the flanks of the' Prussians,, who were thus enfiladed in the centre, and very few had the good fortune td escape after this dextrous manoeuvre. Miss BIDWELL, an English Lady (vho was tu toress to the KING of NussiA's children, had a nar row escape from falling into the hands of the French she arrived On Thursday from Berlin.
