biIDDLESIIX L' CTION.

The poll opened yesterd..y morning, at nine
o'clock, and, contrary to all former contests, in this
county, within our recollelion, the greatest order
and regularity prevailed amongst the mobility ; the
road between London and Brentford was little more
crowded than usual, and that bustle, hurry, and
confusion, which we used to experience, upon all
former occasions, were entirely done away.
At the a:losti of the poll, at four o'clock, the
numbcrs appeared as follow : _

Mr. M Club . 84‘
• 001,.11,11ff
Sit C. Baynes 4 9
Mr. SYNG then addressed the Eleaors, nearly as
follows:
" Gentlemen, Freeholders of Middlesex, I can-
not take leave of you, upon the present occasion,
without returning to you my best and warmest
thanks, for the very liberal support you have given
me this day; but, however flattering the state of
the poll may now be, between me and the worthy
Baronet, who has hem set up against me, I beg,
shss notwithstanding this flattering prospeft, you
will not slacken in your exertions to put me above
my competitors. You come forward, Gentlemen,
not so much to support me, as to support yours,lves,
and maintain and preserve the true independence of
the county of Middlesex."
Mr. Mas.t.lsu thanked the Eleaors for their par-
ticular kindness, in coming forward this day, and
placing him in so honourable a situation upon the
poll, front which he was confirmed in the opinion
he had already formed, that he had dose his duty,
since he had been their Represen.ative. He would
not take up much of their time, by making long
speeches, but simply thank them for their past
kindness, and request their further exertions in his
favour.

Sir C. BAYMIS returned his hearty and cordial
thanks, for the warm support he had already re-
ceived. His opponents, it was true, ran him very
hard, at the beginning of the race, but they little
knew what god bottom was there, (placing his
hand on his breast ) " It vo, the Eleflors, are
true to me, I will he tint to you; and all I can
say to you is, wixt.her 1 represent you in Parlia-
m-nt or not, I shall ever be true to my God, my
Country, and my King; these are my iodepeadent
principles, and I defy my opponents to be more in-
dependent than n*selt. Gentleman. I shall say
nu more at present, than to wish you a good af-
ternoon."

advantages this season ; a retrechment-room is pre-
