THE DUO i lESS OF MA RLBOROUGH.S GRAND ROUT
This Lady gave her first Grand Rout this season
on Friday last, at her magnificent mansion in Pall
Mall. The fete was in every respect worthy of the
high rank, splendid fortune, and elegant taste, of the
noble donor. No house in town affords such esten-
sive and superb accommodations, or possesses such
capability for a display of all the forms of grandeur.
The hall by which the company entered appeared
within a beautiful grove of mink and orange trees
full bearing, rising above each other in a gradual
ascent from the door. Here also were stationed a
running footman and twelve others in state liveries.
This was the channel through which the tide of
fashion flowed into twelve spacious rooms upon
the grould floor, amply sufficient for the accommo-
dation of 1200 persons. The number of invitations
was only 700, and therefore it wai found unnecessary
to open any other of the apartments of this splendid
mansion. The several rooms, exclusive of their usual
ornaments, consisting of the finest paintings, display-
ed a profusion of the most fragrant and beautiful
flowers, which had been reared in his Grace's hot-
homes at Sion ; and were lighted up in the niost bril-
liant style. The company began to assemble at 9
o'clock, and notwithstanding the advantage of the
double approach to the house, by Palllllal.l and
St. James's Park, they had not all arrived until 11.

I-"

y, appeared more desperate than on any
former day ; he hoped, therefore, that Sir Thomas
Turton would decline the poll. His intention was,
to forget all that had passed upon the hustings, be-
tween Sir Thomas and him, and to see peace and
unanimity restored as soon as possible in the Bo-
rough.' (Loud cheering.) He would always remem-
ber with gratitude the exertions he had met with
from his friends, and should consider it his future
duty to promote the interests of every individual in
the Borough. (Huzza! ?fuzzes!)

Sir THOMAS TURTON assured his friends that he
did not feel the wait of confidence in the success
of the present contest ; he had brought forward a
number of votes, and if justice had been done him
by the High Bailiff he should have stood much
higher in the day's poll than he did. Many of the
Eledors by undue influence had been induced to
keep their votes through fear of giving ference to
their employers, and if they then choose to assert
their rights, he was ready to support them. The
poor man, he observed, had a right to vote equally
with the opulent ; and should a number of votes of
the same description, which had been refused by the
High Bailiff, again appear at this eleetion, and be
turned back,he would apply where their rightswould
be recognized, and by their exertions become the Re-
presentative of the Borough of Southwark. In that
capacity he should enter the House of Commons
proudly, not only as member of the Borough, but as
the assertor of the rights of many of its eledors.—
Impressed with such sentiments it was his intention
to continue the poll while he was assured there re-
mained one independent cleclor to give him a vote,
but he believed there were many that would come
forward, and afford him an opportunity of assist-
ing him to oppose the Right Hon. Gentleman.—
He asserted that the High Bailiff had turned back
several of his votes that were good ones, for which
condtid he observed every one of the spectators had
a right to bring an action against that officer for
not having done justice. The proverb he had made
use of on Friday had been the subjed of censure on
the part of Mr. 'ficrney's supporters; he would
however again repeat, in plainer terms, that the
more Mr. Thelluson had been beat by the Right
Hon. Gentleman the better he had proved, as he
had seen him canvassing to obtain votes for the lat-
ter, nawithstancting the ill usage he had formerly
received. He expressed his belief that Government
had assisted his opposer with its influence to obtain
the eleCtion ; his principles were unshaken, he had
preserved them during every faction, and had never
departed from that honesty of behaviour which
distinguishes the man of sound sentiment. (Nuzzo!)
Did Government want to make a slave of him, why
was he to find so many measures taken to resist his
election ? Could any one say he had not atted with
justice in his judicial capacity ? Had any individual
reason to complain he had not done his duty, or
was unfit to be a Representative ! It was his ambi-
tion to obtain a seat in the House of Commons ; his
friends had advised him to that end, on the last elec•
tion, and had again brought him forward on this;
therefore he invited the remaining independent Elec-
tors to come forward for the right of eledion, to
support him on Monday, when he expeded to find
himself by their exertions, placed in a similar situa-
tion with the Right Hon. Gentleman.
Mr. TIERNEY said, he was inclined to take no no-
tice of the harsh language used by Sir Thomas Tur.
ton, as that Gentleman had spoke with some warmth
in consequence of the disappointment he had met
with in the poll ; he could not, however, fail to ob-
serve, that the eledion ought not to be continued
through the obstinate intention of the worthy Ba-
ronet to persevere, although there was no prosped
of success. (Cheering.) The law, however, would
interfere, after a time, to prevent such condud, and
all the disturbance, all the riot, and evil conse-
quences which might arise until the contest was de-
cided, would be solely attributable to Sir Thomas
Turton. The latter Gentleman had complained
much of the condird of Mr. Thellusson; he was
happy to state, that that Gentleman, among all his
vices, did not possess the pri nci pie ofbearing eternal en-
mity ; they had shaken hands together, and were
now living upon terms of friendship : he would
however observe, that the Thellusson seen by the
Baronet in the crowd, was not the same person who
had ben at variance with him daring the last elec-
tion ; and with resped to the remarks made by Sir
Thomas Turton, relative to his conduit towards
some of his friends, they were like many more of
his insinuations, dark and mysterious. The worthy
Baronet had asked, if the Government wished to
make a slave of him? The question was, did the
Government ever require him to be a slave ? The
state of the poll had also been disputed ; the veer-
thy Baronet was out in the application of common
figures, if he denied the majority, but it appeared
that he knew what it really was; Sir Thomas 'fur-
ton knew what it ought to be. (Hutto! butsa !)
He would only remark further, what he had before
stated, namely, if Sir Thomas Turton was deter-
mined to continue the contest, hopeless as it appear-
ed to be on the Baronet's side, he must attend the
Hustings, and the spedators must be under the ne-
cessity of giving their attendance, which would un-
doubtedly be inconvenient to them ; all the disturb-
ance which would take place in consequence be
could not be answerable for. (Nuzzo! burta !)
Sir THOMAS TURTON, in reply, said, he had not
heard the Right Hon. Gentleman mention a word
about disturbance before that day. Mr. Tierney had
occasioned all the disturbance which had taken place
in the Borough, by vacating his seat in Parliament,
(repeated cheering) and afterwards becoming a Can-
didate to make the Borough a pocket-borough.
Sir Warm:4 Lewis informed the spedators, he
should perform his duty upon the present occasion
in the most conscientious manner, not only to the
Candidates but the Voters also.
The poll-booth was then cleared.

A Dutch Indiaman, from Surinam, with a very

the French Army u concentrated in the neighbour-
hood of Bentheim. The Hanoverian Army is also
in sight, and an engagement is hourly expeded.
The latter are throwing up entrenchments on the
frontiers of Osnabruck.
FRANKFORT, JUNE 1.
The Hanoverian Armyhas advanced toOsnabr „wk.
occupying the countries of Hoya and Dirpholz ;
those troops that were in the Dutchy of Lunenbourg
were to march to Bremen and Verden, pushing their
out-posts to the frontiers of the Dutchy of Olden-
bourg. A large corps of cavalry at Osnabruck was
to have been advanced to Ilentheim, but upon infor-
mation being received that the French had arrived in
that neighbourhood, they were counter-ordered.—
General Walmoden, who commanded the Hanove-
rian troops in the campaigns of 1794 and 1795, is
appointed Commander in Chief, and is to establish
his head-quarters at Osnabruck.
AMSTERDAM, JUNE I.
The Count Walmoden has established his head-

quarters at Osnabruck, and has 17 or 18 thousand
Hanoverian troops posted before him.
HANOVER, MAY 2,8.
A Proclamation is just published, stating that the
differences between the Crown of England and
France, arc of such a nature, that they concern only
the former, and can in no ways relate to his Ma-
jesty as EleCtur, and State of the Germanic Empire.
His Majesty, in that particular quality, abides by
the Treaty of Liineville, and has a right to expect
that that Treaty will procure perfect safety for his
Germanic States, in a war foreign to the Empire,.
The preparations he has made are therefore strictly
defensive, and his Majesty, in his quality of EleCtor,
will take no part in the war.—We have reason to
hope, that by the interference of Russia, our country
will not be involved in the horrors of war ; and as
the French troops have been eight days on our
frontiers without attempting to proceed farther, we
presume that sonic negotiations in our favour are
alteady extant. Our expectations are strengthened
by the intelligence that M. Aloplus, the Russian
Minister at Berlin, has been ordered to repair to our
Regency, while M. Forsmann, Minister from Russia
to the Circle of Lower Saxony, has been directed to
proceed to the Dutchies of Bremen and Verden.
RATISRON, MAY 28.
We learn with surprise that the Imperial ratifica-
tion of the Condamine has not been transmitted by the
Emperor to the Chancery of the Empire. Its inser-
tion in the Registers of the Chancery is indispensable
to make it a fundamental law.—We learn that the

Hanoverian Government have resolved to address

the Emperor and the Empire on the movements of
the French troops on the frontiers of Holland, and
to solicit the interference of those powers in thcir
behalf.

CONSTANTINOPLE, MAY 2.
The following is the affair which gave rise to the
grand Council of State, held last week :—The
English Charge d'Affaires having suspicions as to
the object of the frequent conferences of General
Brune with the Reis Effendi, sent a note to the latter,
in which he observed, that his Court saw with dis-
pleasure that the Porte was about to form new al-
liances with France, at the time when serious nego-
tiations
were pending between the two countries.
The French Minister, on his part, demanded an ex-
planation of the Porte, relative to the conduit it
would pursue in the event of a rupture ; and the result
of the deliberations of the Council was, that the Porte
intended to observe the strictest neutrality ; fulfilling,
at the same time, with the most scrupulous atten-
tion, all her engagements with both countries. Be.
sides a squadron of five ships of the line and six
frigates, under the Captain Pacha, several other
ships of war arc preparing to secure the liberty of
navigation.
BASLZ, JUNE 1.
Reports are circulated, that overtures have been
made to the Landamman of Switzerland, to form
a new Treaty of Alliance between the Nineteen
Cantons, and the Republics of France and Italy,
who propose taking a large body of Swiss troops
into their pay. Commercial regulations between the
Republics of France, Italy, and Switzerland, pro-
mising reciprocal advantages, have been proposed,
and severals of the Ca:,zons ate desirous that the
Helvetic Confederacy should henceforward have
an accredited Minister at the Court of the First
Consul.

HAGUE, JUNE 2.
The Captain of an English packet, bearing a flag
of truce, which came yesterday into Helvoetsluys,
has been arrested by a French Naval Officer, and
brought to the French Ambassador at this place.
Previous to his arrest he delivered his dispatches to
Mr. Liston, the British Minister, and could not in-

was persuaded they did not coutaia an order for Mr.
Liston's return to England. - General Menou
