main here, is state pi. Thavebeen just on board the
Commodore's ship, the Spenser, coMmanded by the
Hon. Captain Stopford ; the pews on board is,
that the Dukleef York dots got like that Brigadier-
General Craiguid should command the Expedition,
but that Mr. Windham insists on his going. It is
thought, however, that this cageressce will be settled
immediately. as the Commodore has ordered the
whole of the Fleet to complete themsclres with six
months provisions, by replacing what they have
ix.ed sine, the troops embarked, and that they will
sail immediately. Admiral Murray is to have the
command by sea, end it is now settled, that four line
of battle ships, and five frigates, gn out with us, ex-
clusive of smell craft ; indeed, they are all now

COURT OF

CHANCERY.
Yesterday being the first day of Michaelmas
Term, the Judges met in Westminster Hall with
the usual ceremonies ; after which they repaired to
their respeCtive Courts, where the usual business of
the Term commenced.
•

!ORGILL V. MACHAMARA.
The eirenmstances of this case we have already
laid at great length before our readers.
Mr. Foe snartou e. on the part of the Defendant,
Mr. Macnamara, applied to the Court for further
time to except of the Master's Report.
The SOLICITOR-Gee es AL. for the Plaintiff, said,
he never had heard of such an application, for which
there were no grounds whatever.
Mr. Teo m ',sort said, the Solicitor for the Plaint-
iff had intimated that be would not oppose the ap.
plicatioe.
The So Li c tt oa-G minim, answered, all he wished
was, that no unnecessary delay should take place;
a great many excuses had already been made to
keep the party from obtaining final justice. It
therefore would not be justice to his Client to con-
sent to this application Miss Purcell, althoujgh
there was 26,a001. due to her by this Defendant.
had not sic-pence to subsist on, and was obliged to
take refuge within the Rules of the King's Benefit
to prevent her from being thrown into agaol. The
MASTLR had made up his Repoli previous to the
long vacation, and Mr. Macnamara Lad ample time
to take his exceptions to it. Ar the same time,
he had no obieetinn to the master standing over a
few days, upon payment of costs, and provided the
exceptions were tiled instanter.
The LORD CHANCELLOR observed, that lie was
quite sure no man ever said more justice to his
client than Mr. Fonblanque. But the Court had
laid down certain titles, by which it must abide ;
and, if he was to entertain such an application as
the present, it must be on some foundation. The
Master's report has been ready since the last vaca•
tion and Mr. Macnamara might be prepared'with
his exceptions by this tape.
The defendant WAS then permitted to file his ee-
ceptions this day, and the cause was appointed to
come on for hearing in the course of the term.

COURT OF RING'S BENCH, WESTMINSTER —Nov. 6
.
This being the first day of Term, the proper
Officer made the usual return, upon oath, of the se-
veral conviets under sentence of tranepqrtaticm, on
board the hulks, at Portsmouth, Woolwich, /cc
setting forth, that they were all in perfect health, and
kept to hard labour at His Mejesty's works, and de-
prived of the use of spirituous liquors, except in a
medicinal way.
The motions before the flee were all matters of
course, and of no public interest.
Mr. Peers moved for a writ of flobrur Corpus.
to bring up the body of Grow Whits, now a pri-
soner in the Gaol of Guildford, in the county of
Surrey. The affidavit upnq which this application
was grounded, stated, that White, being a freeman
of the town of Guildf• rd, had attended at the
Heating' on the oath sad liitth ult. for the purpose
of sly% his vote far General Norton ; but the
crowd eo great, he was obliged to come away
witl.eat wiling bra purpose. On the evening of
the Mb, while drinking Kitt tea with his wife, a
man 'of the name o William Russell, whom
he knew to be attached to the interest of the other
Candidate, George Home Sumner, Esq. came into
iris room, accompanied by two men, who appte-
handed hitu as a deserter fro,u the `2d Surrey Mi-
litia. He st..ted, that be never was in the Militia,
except when he was drawn as a Supplementary, and
then be served his $1 dais, according to the Mt. -
He was then brought to the house of the Rev. Dr.
Weller, a Magistrate of the county, who being from
home, he wa- carried tour miles farther, before
another Magistrate, whom the Learned Counsel
declined to name, and who also was absent; he was
then taken before another Magistrate, six miles
from Guildford; and from thence back to Guild-
-fold, to a public-hoase, where the Committee th
Mr. Sumner met ; there he was questioned by Mr.
Senallfield, who was the well known agent of Mr
Sumner ; and, finally, he was again brought before
the Magistrate, whom the Learned Counsel de-
clined to name, and wai committed to the gaol of
Guildford. ' He further stated, that the eleetipn
closed on the following day ; and ha verily believed
he was detained a prisoner for the express purpose
of preventing him from giving his vote at such
eleaion. The Warrant of Commitment Wes also
tlefeetive; it was not direeted to any particular
gaoler or constaule ; nor did it set frit th what crime
or offence the Prisoner was charged with.
Lord ELLINDOROUGH said, the Court could not
altogether discharge this person, until they should
ascertain what offence he was guilty of ; but granted
the Writ of /fakes Cole., and a Writ of Certiorari,
to bring the depesitions taken before the'Magistrate
before the COWL.

PO /../(:/;'.
ow-ST RICIT.
in consequence of the variety of mischief and ac-
cidents that have taken place on the 4:6 of Novem-
ber, and other days of rejoicing, by the letting off of
fire-works in the public sweets, by startling horses,
frightening pregnant! women, arc. the Magistrates
very propetly issued a pri!claniation against such
praCtices on Wednesday, and cited the alts of Par-
liament by which such condu.2 was punishable, as
well as for selling fire-works.
In the evening, the patrele were ordered to appre-
hend all those they found offending, and in the
course of the evening, they apprehended sis tncn
and ten boys. Four cf the men were FespeaAble
cbaisaers, and had every appearance of gentlemen,
and the other twn were labouring men.
Mr. OR au Wu very properly reprobated their eon-
dad, and told them they ought to be ashamed .of
themselves, in being the authors of such disorderly
conduit as t4rowing squibs at persons who were
quietly passing along the streets, and thought this
a strange way of rejoicing, by annoying and fright-
ening people. The worthy Magistrate therefore
conviCted them in the full penalty of twenty shil-
Rings, which the young &shuts paid, and appeared
ashamed of their conduCt.
Thai, conviaion afforded universal satisfadion

to I Crowded: Court ; Oct no small degree of Mirth I
for when they left the,Otice, a universal laugh was
raised at their expence. The two labouring men "
were obliged to send to their friends before they
could raise the wind. Half the convidion money
gees to the poor of the parish, and. the other half to
the apprehenders.
Mr. Ga A tl a rt, after keeping the boys under most
horrible alarm of being imprisoned in a dark hole,
for upwards of an hour, discha gstd them, with a
proper can ic's not being found offending again.
Some of them were extrernly alarmed at the thought
of being imprisoned in a 14,4 hale, and being run
away with the haigodlins, and heeler their tars ale
ty rats, and their grief was increased by their tieing
sure of likewise being punished at home.
Frederick timitk, alias Green, alias St. Jahn, whom
we stated was in custody nu a charge of robbing
Mr. Thomas Bartlett. of James-sum:. in the Cont.
mercial-toad, of 6071. underwent a second exami-
nation. Our readers will recolleft we stated, that
the Prosecutor and his wife were separated. and
that the Prisoner bad pretended he could bring
about a reconciliation ; that they went together to
Itonsgate, where the Prosecutor's 'Rite was at Cap-
tain Patterson's ; the Prisoner pretended he saw
her, and that he knew a litimale servant at Captain
Patterson's, who would assist hint in endeavouring to
prevail upon her to return to iiye with her husband.
The Prosecutor's wile attended, and denied that
the Prisoner had ever made any application to her
to retina to her liesbarsi, of that theta was such a
female servant, as the Prisoner described, in Captain
Patterson's family.
Michael Kelly. who keeps the Welch Harp
public-house, in Peter-street, 'Soho, said, he recol-
leCted the Prisoner and the Prosecutor coming to his
house, in a coach, hr the m,,nth of June or July last.
They drank brandy and water itigether, till the Pro-
secutor appeared intoxicated ; alter which they had
some tea; and when he went to them in the parlour,
he saw the l'risoner with a pocket-hook in lts hand,
and he said to the Prosecutor, there is nothiag in it.
Ile Prosecutor replizd, then you have robbed me
of 6001.
The Prisoner in a short time after left the house,
the witness thinking he should have no chance of
getting his reckoning from the Piersecutor, he be-
ing drunk, ran after the prisoner, but could not
overtake him.
Vhe P;isoner was committed for further exami-
natiori.
WESTAILASTA IC E LECTIO.Y.
At three o'clock in the aft'ernoon of yesterday,
a procession came mit of the Shekspeare T.vern, in
Covent Garden, preceded by marrow-bones and
cleavers. A man in aterioue, with a black spear,
led the way ; the effigy of a tailor, with a cab:aage
and a piece of bacon, his measores, goose, and
shears, and thg label, tt POOP Paull ;" next fo3owed
the effigy of Bonaparte, in his state robes, and bear-
ing she imperial scep:re, and the inscription—" Be-
repeat tomnsaadb hie vale far Paull." The procession
was closed by near Slii of 'Mi. Sheridan 'S friends,
with cochadei in their hats. The whole proceeded
round Covent Garden, passing in the front of the
Hustings, where it was greeted with loud howl,
intermitted with hissers Sonaparte, -before he re-

Mr Puree MOPIIE, in the absence of Mr. She-
ridan, addressed the Eleihors. amidst 'the greatest
noise and disturbance. He said, that as he had
foretold yestcrd ty, his Right Hon. Friend had
gained a considerable advantage en this day's poll.
arid he roust continue to do so every day during the
poll, while he was supeirted by the respectable, in-
dependent, and worthy part of the Eleaors of West-
minster. Until this day he had not been able to
canvass the city of Westminster, but he now found 1
that the most numerous and respeßable portion of
the voters were friendly to the true and genuine
cause of liberty, and he had no doubt, .bat a day
or two more would completely extinguish the
little satellite or popularity. The noise and eta.
moor of a hired mob raight assist for a day Or
two to prevent the more peaceable Eleaors from
coming forward, but they would soon be con-
vinced, that this trick would not avail them
in the end. His Right Honourable Friend stood
upon a rock too firm to be shaken by the
blast of a hired rabble ; he stood upon a founda-
tion laid by the true and independent friends of
liberty ; which all the artificer, stratagems, or shifts
of his adversary, could not remove him from, and a
day or two more, lie was convinced, would com-
pletely darken the /dee satellite of Sir Francis Bur-
dett, who, himself, would require all their aid and
assistance at Brentford io a few days. He profess-
ed himself the friend and supporter of the Baronet
on a: cornier occasion ; but times arld circumstances
were changed since that period. He congratulated
the Eleftors upon the brightening. prosprit before
them, and trusted that their exertions would place
his Right Hon. Friend in that Situation that would
raise him beyond all competition. The noise of
the populace here became so loud and vociferous.
we lost the greater part of the Ilan. gentlemen's
speech.
Sir Serest. Hoon next came forward. and con-
gratulated the worthy EleCtors upon the state of the
poll this day, and trusted that their well timed ex-
ertions would to-morrow place him at the head of
it, notwithitanding all the calumnies which were
levelled against him. A Gentleman had come for-
ward, avowedly the friend of Mr. Paull, upon two
different days, for the express purpose of defaming
and destroying his chatofter in the eyes of the
worthy and independent Eleaors of Westminster;
but tuts had no avail. as Mr. Paull himself bad per-
sonaily armed him in the course of the day, that
the calumniator was no friend or intimate of his;
and he wholly denied the calumny itself He con-
cluded by exhorting his friends to exertion, and
as earls' attendance to-morrow.to conclude the battle
so well fought, with a final and decisive vidory.

For the nomination of Candidates to represent the

Id at Maidstone, in pursuance of the High
teriff's appointment to that died. W
'tie drawn up in the High-street, for 111 Si
oblong square, for the reception of the Candidates
sand heir respeetive parties, in one of which also the
sheriff took his station, who, soon after It o'clock,
opened the business of the meeting, by stating, "hat

inside to loin to consider of proper persons, who,
Id
in the (-pinion of the Freeholders, should be deemed
...
elieihle to represent the County in the Ensuing Par-
lia.Mittio ar.d it would be his duty and study, is far
es possible, with stria impartiality, to state the
mull, as iespeded the several Candidates.
Twistas ie.:al-LITT Hoopes, Esq. began by say-
ing, the High Sheriff had stated to them the put-
pott of the niecting, and beftme be prcposed a
Candidate, he should beg leave to state some cir-
cornstances I—lf ever there was a time when the
sordid views of patty were prevalent, it was never
More so than at, the present moment, odious and
disendioe as they were to every honest mind, and
every feeling ,d just iudignatiou. It was proper,
however, to awaken their attention to this prema-
ture dissolute n of Parliament, it was cause for
alarm to every friend to the country, and chewed
how little they had to exped, and how much was
to be leafed, from party measures. Judge, there-
fo•e, of my setistadion, he c..iniiiiieJ, in proposing
Sir Will•am Geary, a man who has discharged his
duty.: i Parliament for the last ten years, and in the
midst of coiruption, nobly stood h' ground on the
! principles of independence, and if there is any one
Idemietr .If the House of Commons, mote than alio-
ther, cold to the support of honest men, it is
Sir Willi.' Geary. He ousted that this appeal
would not be made in vain. and concluded by again
proposiap, him for their choice.
l sou AS Par t e LON, Esq. begged leave to second
Mr. Hodge's nomination.
Sir WILLIAM GrAlY.—lt becomes now my
Awry, in the first place, to address you with feel-
ings extremely sensible of the honourable manner in 1
which my friends have spoken of 17. C. and to say that
it is dot possible for me to express to you any other
ground of prineiple on which I stand, after they
have been so ably stated. In the Parliament before
tiniest, I came forward for the support of the in-
dependence of the county, and was returned; in
dirt tilt Parliament I WAS again returned, and
inperience has since taught me, that it at any time
is was expedient that I should offer myself, it is
lesore primula:ly so at the present moment. I wish
sow to advert to some circumstances which have
taken place. Means have been used to prevent
votes trom Wog diverted to me; my chaveßer has
suffered much, has been traduced, dreadfully
traduced ; doubtless in the last, as in all contested
elections, petty animosities ran high, yet I did hope
that time and reflection would have extinguished
them t wiry am I, however, to find, that there are
persons who still assert falsehoods, which have ope-
rated against mein my canvass. The assertion first
alluded to was, that I had joined one of the con-
tending parties, for the purpose of obtaining a seat
in Parliament. Ignornitiious thought !—Cap it be
supposed for a moment, that, for this consideration,
I would sacrifice those principles of petted inde-
pendence on which I so much pride myself. It
was frequently said to me on the hustings—if you
will only say that you will turn over a few votes to
Mr. Honywood. you shall have our support. My
answer was, No l 11111111 as I have injured my
fortune, trenched on my income. and narrowed my
circumstances, yet will I never forfeit my honour.
Another accusation against me is, that I have not
paid a sum of money to Mr. Honywoosl's agent,
Mr. Shove. 1 was threatened with an adion at
law—i courted the inquiry, and offered, at the same
time, if any point was started that could not be le-
gally settled, it should Da submitted to tel
I rejoiced at this, because it would have convinced
the county of my independence; and why it has
not been brought, I know not ; my contest us this
business is not with Mr. Honywood, but with Mr.
Shove.
I have new only to observe, that the principle on

which I first offered myself to you, was independ-
ence—it is still the same. I will not take the opini-
on of government or of opposition ; I will not as
on the opinion of any man or of any party, lint the
opinion of a representative of the county of Kent.
My own opinion shall he my guide: I have followed
it for many years, and ever found it faithful to me,
and I will not retire from this contest but at the poll.
I call not resign the trust the Freeholders have re-
posed in me to any party whatever. No circum-
stance shall have any effect on my mind, which has
bee❑ educated in true British pr:nciples—principles
which I never will desert, hut will resign th:st trust
alone to the freeholders from whom I have received

it.
Sir Baook Bait:tots then addressed the meeting,
and proposed Sir Edward Knatchbull, Bart, in
which ne was seconded by Edward Austen, Esq of
God me: sham Park.
Sir EDWAAD Kea TCH BULL said, it was not his in-
tention to take a retrospeet of what took place at
the last ekdion, or to review the events of that pe-
riod ; but he felt it his duty, and begged leave to
state a few circumstances. As to one Honourable
Gentleman, it would ill become him, more than that
it there was any agreement between the Honourable
Baronet and Mr. Honywood's agents, it must be
known to themselves alone, it could not be known
to him. In 1602, two gentlemen, Mr. Honywood
and the Hon. Baronet, were the objeds of your
choice. Mr. Honywood's representation was a
shadow, but I mean not this by way of condemna-
tion. It was a misfortune, not a fault. 1 hope the
Hon. Gentleman, his relative, will therefore be sa-
tisfied, when I as.ert, that had his health permitted,
no man would have executed the duties of his station
more faithfully or honestly. He was not in the ha-
bit of making vague assertions, he meant what he
said, and he thught it his duty to state it. I now
think it necessary to state .shortly why I offer myself
to the County. It mos', be in all your re.colletttons,
that at tae time 1 addressed myself to you, there was
no other Candidate, and I was encouraged in that
offer, from tie assurance that I had received from
Captain Honywood's friends, that he•clid not mean'
to become a Candidate. [Sir Edward here appealed
to Captain Honywood, wlsether he had not declared
his intention to this effect, but that circumstances
had since occurred which induced him to alter it ?

Captain Henywood replied, Sir Edward, you are
quilt erserea.]
I have been given to undeistand, and I believe on
sure grounds, that it is the intention of some Gen-
tlemen to propose aninherCandidate. I owe much
to the County, obligations that I can never forget ;
if, therefore, it is in my power to prevent the peace
of the County from be.ng disturbed, it is in my
power to prevent the expense of a contest. I can
only ray, that on the principle of uniting all parties,
if,it should be tl:e opinion of this meeting, I will re-
tire (cry of he! No! Act !) lam bound to state,
that no difflorence of opinion in pi ivate shall prevent
me from giving him my support ; there is no person
more proper than tiie Noble Lord to do away all
party differences ; and if, therefore, I have blended
you: hearts in any way to that desirable end, I shall
he ready to retire in his favour—unequivocally I
declare, that if it is the sense of this meeting that
the Noble Lord should stand, he will have my sup-
port ; and, in retiring, I can only thank you, and
assure you, thati, in whatever station of life, my
humble abilities shall be at your service.
Sir NARIBOIIOUGH D'A &ea said, he had before
had the honour to nominate a Candidate for their
choice, and now begged leave to propose Wm.
Hony wood, Esq. a Gentleman in every respea
qualified to represent the County, and who, he
doubted not, would do his duty conscientiously, and
to the satisfaaion of his constituents.
Mr. Geoanz POLHILL had peculiar pleasure in
seconding Sir Narborough's nomination.
Captain flonywoon, after stating that the man-
ner in which he had been proposed was much to
his satisfaftion, observed, that his sentiments were
the same as his relation's who had lately represented
them ; and if any thing could add to this satisfac-
tion, it was the numerous support that day in his
favour, which gave him every confidence of suc-
cess, in the event of a poll.
Sir JOHN Suaw then proposed Lord Marsham, in
which he was seconded by Giotto& Fiscu HAT-
you, Esq.
Lord Masaisair began by saying, how much be
was obliged by the honour done him by the nomina-
tion, yet begged to state a few circumstances. He
had lately been chosen for Hythe—an honour which
he had anxiously and eagerly sought ; and it was
impossible to forget those feelings of gratitude for
the attachment which had been shewn to him there;
how then could he relinquish his constituents?—
Nothing but a desire to preserve the peace of the
county, could justify such conduit; if, therefore, it
was the wish of the county that he should be pro-
posed, be should nut be indifferent to the event ;
but, whether a Representative for Hythe, or for the
County, his condua would be the same, and in
independence of principle, he would yield to no
man.
Sir WILLIAM GLAILY--" It is difficult to speak
under the circumstances of the day. In the first
place, I wish to state, that, if the Noble Lord had
come forward of his own will and intent, I should
have said, let each party struggle for the vittory.—
The Honnui able Ilarc,net has said he would retire,
if called on by the county. I will net concede to
this principle, it is destruftion to the freedom of
elation ; and it it should be the opinion of this
Meeting, that I also should retire, I will net be
bound by it, I will boldly tell it to its face, I will
not be
.bound by its deci,ion ; there may be about
300 Freeholders present out of 9,000, and it is a
folly to suppose they could judge for the county.—
I am determined to stand, and nothing but a
final rejeftion at the Poll-table, shall make me
depart from my purpose."
big Eowaan Kai WIC/nett said, that if it should
be the sense or the Meeting, that the Noble Lord
s:iould be brought forward, he thought him more
calculated to give satisfaaion to the county than
the Hon. Bet onet.
CitoomuLty Wain°, {Lid, it was not his
ob;elt to make a flowery speech, but merely to ask
why the Noble Lord was a more proper person
than the Hon. Baronet ? and having said that, beg.
ged, with pet mission of the Noble Viscount, to read
a lesser addressed by him to Sir William Geary, the
psi: port of whicb was, that Lord Manhunt had bad

a comnialicatioct made to him by rum frier. ls of
Mr. Honywonds which stated, that with a view to
the preservation of the peace of the county, that
party would support him in the event of his being
nominated, and would be against Sir William.
This letter was dated from the Mote, oh Sunday
the 26th October. A long and desultory conversa-
tion here took place, and Sir William Geary having
used the word Government, as giving the informa-
tion to Lord Marsham; his Lordship avowed he had
heard it from Mr. George Fiach Hatton, who, in
consequence was, then called on to state the autho-
rity for such words, which Sir William Geary af-
firmed to be a libel on the Blues. Mr. Hatton, in
reply, stated his sole motive and ()Ned was, that the
peace of the county should not be disturbed; and in
consequence moved a jundion of Captain Hony-
n•nod with Lord Marsham,t and in this he was se-
conded byl Mr. Mills, who spoke from the window
of a hcuse, but too elevated to be very distinsly
heard.
The question being repeatedly called for, the
High Sheriff declared the sheer of hands to be in
favour of Mr. -ionywood and Sir William Geary,
when the thanks of the Meeting to the High She-
riff were moved by Sir William Geary, for his ins-
partial condud throughout the business of the day,
which met with unanimous approbation ; and a
motion being made to that effea, the Meeting was
adjourned. The rain fell incessantly during the
Meeting, which prevented our being enabled to tol-
led .the addresses of the different speakers more
corredly.

Perth Regiment.
On Sunday, the 26th OClober, Lieutenant-Colonel

the weak state of his • health would compel him to
resign his command at the•end of the year. The
Colonel. in his usual perspicuous manner, explained
the new regulations, and how they affefted the
corps. It is impossible to describe how much every
individual laments the loss of their invaluable Com-
mander. whose abilities and exertions have brought
the corps to its present high state of discipline. We
understand, however; they have determined to serve
their country under every disadvantage ; and a ve-
teran Officer, who has been in aftive service the
greatest part of his life, and now resident in Dur-
ham, will, it is said, be intreated to accept the
comnrand.
