I TO THE WORTHY AND INDEPENDENT FREEMEN
OF LIVERPOOL.
GENTLEMEN,
HIS Majesty's Proclamation for dissolving the present
Parliament will appear in the Gazette of this evening, and
the Writs fur a New Parliament will, I understand, be issued to-
morrow.
Under these circumstances, I lone no time in soliciting a re-
newal of the high trust, the important duties of which I have
zealously endeavoured to discharge during the last four sestions.
Called upon by the invitation of a large body of my Consti-
tuents, I have already declared that my services would again be at
your command.
In now repeating to you that declaration, I confide in the un-
abated continuance of the same kindness and good-will by which,
in 11123, I was first encouraged to aspire to the honour of filling the
vaeancv which then occurred in your Representation.
For the present, I am unavoidably detained in town by the du-
ties of my public situation ; but I hope to reach Liverpool in
time to pay my respects to you, Gentlemen, before the day of
Election, and to have that opportunity of personally assuring you
of the sentiments of gratitude and attachment with which I now
remain, Gentlemen,
Your obedient and faithful servant,
WILLIAM HUSKISSON.
London, 2d June, 1826.

TO THE WORTHY AND INDEPENDENT LIVERY
OF LONDON.

34, New Broad-street, 3d June,
OENTLEMEN.
THE Dissolution of Parliament having been officially
announced, I now beg respectfully to solicit the distin.
guirdied honour of being returned one of your Representatives at
the Election, which is appointed to take place on FRIDAY, the
9th instant.

Engaged as I have been in commercial pursuits fretm a very early
early period. it will be my constant study to promote, by every
means in my power, the great trading interests of this country ; at
the ume time I shall most anxiously watch over, and zealously
maintain, the Corporate Rights and Privileges of my fellow-citizens,
should 1 be honoured with your suffrages.
I consider it superfluous to make any professions of loyalty to
my Sovereign, or attachment to the Constitution.
Placing confidence, as I have hitherto done, in the conduct of his
Majesty's Government, I nevertheless pledge myself to an inde.
pendent and faithful discharge of the important duties,which neces-
sarily attach to the distinguished station to which I am now en-
couraged to aspire.
I particularly regret that it has not been in my power to pay my
personal respects to every individual of the Livery, but I trust that
your candour and liberality, will attribute this apparent neglect to
the difficulty of visiting so numerous a body, and which difficulty
is much increased by the extreme incorrectness of the Lists.
I have the honour to remain, Gentlemen,
Your faithful and obedient Servant,
WILLIAM IVA RD.

TO TILE WORTHY AND INDEPENDENT BURGESSES
OF BERWICK-UPON-TWEED.
GENTLEMEN,
THE time is now come when you are required to exer-
cise the high privilege of choosing your Representatives in
Parliament. Again I presume to oiler myself ti) your choice, and
again solicit the honour of being called to the distinguished station
I have held during the last Parliament. I have professed myself
independent ; I have endeavoured to give substance to the name ;
and, as far as my humble abilities would admit, have carried into
the Senate the genuine sentiments of political virtue.
The Constitution of my Country, and the Civil and Religious
Liberties of Mankind, are ever dear to me ; nor can I forget that
the poor African is " a man and a brother." But far be it from me
to boast of my services ; it is your province to estimate them ; and
it is to me the most pleasing subject of reflection, that my conduct
has already received your approbation, and obtained for me those
assurances of support, which enable me to look forward with per.
feet contihnce to bring triumphantly returned at the approach-
ing Election. I hare the honour to be, Gentlemen,
Your most faithful and devoted servant,
Tilmouth Park, Id June, 1826. FRANCIS BLAKE.

I)I3TRESS in SPITALFIELDS.—At a MEETING
of the COMMITTEE, held in the Vestry Room, Spital.
iields, June 3, 18211;

WILLIAM HALE, Esq., in the Chtir.
The Committee have the satisfaction to state, that they have re-
ceived from the Lady Mayoress (one of the Patronesses) and the
Misses Lloyd, the Sum of Six Hundred Pounds, being part of the
proceeds of the sale of Useful and Fancy Work, for the benefit of
the Spitaltielde Weavers, the remainder to be paid in when the
expenses are ascertained.
fhe Committee take this opportunity of thanking 111 r. Ward, of
Bond-street, for his liberality in handing over to the general pro.
ceeds of the sale the money received for refreshments pur:hased by
the Company.
The Committee beg to inform the Public, that the liberal con-
tributions lately made to their fund have enabled them to make a
trifling addition to the reduced allowance which they have hitherto
paid to the distressed Weavers for the last few weeks; but, even
with that addition, it will barely provide what is absolutely re-
quired for their subsistence, while the amount of distress continues
almost undiminished.
