WH ATEVER of puhlje or of private ;neon-
venince may arise from so sudden a Dissolution of
Parliament, it gives to me personally on regret, because it
brings (though temporarily) into practice, a principle long
settled in my mind, that the appeals of the Representatives
to their Constituents should be more frequent than by law
they are.
In the last three Parli intents you have been pleased to
Pour me with your confidence r, during that time, it has been
my fortune to have been sometimes the Oppo-er, and some-
time* the Supporter of MiniAtea; but, in neither case have,'
ever felt any dread of their power, or benefit trots their favour.
The public interest has been the only motive that ever actu-
ated say conduct, and a continuance of your confidence the
only resotopence I looked to.
I throw myself again upon your consideration, and in soli-
citing most earnestly, as I do, the lamp of your Votes to re-
turn me as one of your Repreeentatiyes in the next &Parlia-
ment, I repeat to you my assurances of an unalterable at-
tachment to the Constitution of cur Country, and I promise
you a continuance of that independence which I trust has
hitherto manifested itself in my public conduct.

LONDON,
TUESDAY, MAY 5.

A Hi.-irm Mail arrived, yesterday, with letters
aci p risers to the 27. h last. They contain no news
of any interest. The latest accounts from Warsaw
are dated the 1,5:11, at which time no action had
taken place on the other side of the Vistula.

.......Inw.-.-

We yesterday announced the arrival of the
Honourable Captain ELACF:WOOD, of HIS MA.
JESTV'S late ship /box, with Dispatches from
the Mediterranean. They contain an account of the
passing and repassing of the Dardanelles by Ad-
miral bucxworrrit, without having accomplished
his purpose. We are extremely concetned to find.
from Tat Gimait Evening Print of yesterday, that
this enterprise was attended on our part with the
following severe loss:—
In passing up the Dardanelles—Killed 12; Wounded 66.
On Prince's Island, while the newt was at anchor off Con-
stantinop:e--K,lled 3. Wounded 16.
In repasing Darcluit hes—Kdled 49 ; Wounded 137.
Total—K:l,A 69 ; Wounded 119.

This ►tatement shows, that the principal loss was
sustained by the squadron when repassing the
Streights the Turks having made great exer-
tions to strengthen the fortifications is its rear. In
these exertions they were so successful, that Ad-
miral Due ewoarit probably should not have been
able to died hislreturn, without the most imminent
danger, had he delayed it a few days longer. A
marble shot, weighing 808Ibs. in circumference 6
feet 11 inches, and diameter 2 feet 2 inches, struck
the Windier Casa- about the mainmast. Half of a
large granite shot, 1 foot 10 inches in diameter,
struck the Rain! Geove. Another struck the
Afitee frigate. 5601b5. and lodged in her orlop deck ;
in short, the whole of the squadron suffered more or
less. Admiral Ducovroat is appears to have espetled
that the appearance of the squadron before Cwt.
stantinople would have struck terror into the Po R vs,
and awed it into submission. In this speculation
he was disappointed ; end we are sorri to find th it
