Mr. Listatio vpilit his ihrossore. .He deoteadei
his passports two days since. After having made
overtones to our Government on the part of his
Court, by which England undertook to acknowledge
the neutrality of Holland, upon condition that the
Republic should refuse to join France in the pretest
wall or assist the troops of that Power. Engknd
promised* 'besides, to give up the Bataviaa vessels
which she has taken. Thew inadmissible proposals
have been rejetted. as aho the demand made by the
English Ambassadors, that the English Agent ar-
rested at Heiroeulnys, by order of the French Com-
mandant, should be set at liberty.
Citizen Jacpel, an °Seer of the Batavian Marine,
returned here the day before yesterday, from Lon-
don, to which place he had been sent in a flag of
truce, with dispatches for Citizen Schimmeipas-
ninck. He left London the let June. The letters
which we have received state, that the greatest dis-
may prevailed in that capital, in the coaestsercial
classes, particularly since they learned that the army
of Hanover was on full march fur the month of the
Elbe and the Weser, threatening to close, all this
channels through which England can convey its ma-
chndize and manufacture into the Continett.
SO UTNIV.I RK ELECTION.
NINTH DAY.
The interest exerted in behalf of the Candidates,
appeared, on this day, to be nearly exhausted ; from
eleven o'clock until twelve Sir Thomas Turton did
net obtain a single vote, in wampum* of which

who prevented part of what he had said from being
distiattly heard, repeated his acknowledgment of
the favors ht had received from his friends, to whom
he 1,0'..ed up with gratitude for the ezmions which
had been made in his behalf; he lamented much
the contest had been protraaed so long, as the
worthy Baronet might have resigned somber, and
prevented the inconvenience which many had in-
curred, by being obliged to neglea their different
occupations. '1 he most material injury sustained
by the perseverance of Sir Thomas Turton was,
what he alluded won Wednesday, namely, the life
of an individual lost to society ; he did not impute
that accident to the worthy Baronet, but it was one
of the many occurrences the public had to regret,
occasioned by the continuation of the contest. He
repeated many of his former observations respeaing
his situation on the poll, and concluded with again
expressing the sense he entertained of the favors
heaped on him by his friends, the whole of which
he should not forget to the latest hour of his life.
Sir THOMAS TVRTON, its reply, said, he had COO-
•sented tocloso the poll after having obtained a majori-
ty, which he considered as lawful votes; and although
the sante had been refused by the High Bailiff, he
placed the greatest dependence on behig esestroed a
Representative for the Borough of Southwark by
their authority. He could not fail to take notice
of the maimer in which the Right Hon. Gentleman
had reprobated the eoettinuatton of the poll ; he

port ; and the numbers which he had aeskairod dor-
ing the contest, proved beyond the possibility of a
.foubt, that his interest had not been ttegleaed ;
his perseverance had been attended with success. he
considered himself eletied, and he then laissted that-
a scrutiny should be made with requite& these votes
which had been refused ; and if justice did not take
place, he would refer to the decision of the House
of Commons, where his claim would be admitted,

that it was not his wish to countenance those persons
who had shcwn a disposition to behave disorderly,
nor had he acknowledged any of that description ;
upon public occasions, similar to that in which they
were then engaged, it too frequently occurred that
persons ill disposed in4ulged in uncoutrouled riot
and public disturbance ; but he would assert there
never had been known an election carried on more
quietly and orderly than that; an election wherein
the freedom of elections had not been assumed. If
any persons had behaved indecorous, he would have
been the first to have disclaimed them. After
expressing his gratitude to his friends for the sop.
port he had_ received, he concluded by again in-
sisting, that a scrutiny should be made,respeaing
the farmed votes, and appealed to the High Bailiff
for that purpose.
The High Bailiff consented that a scrutiny should
take place in the lawn-Hall on Tuesday next.
The Cancldites then withdrew, and the popu-
lace quietly dispersed. The pollhooth was taken
down.
