We yesterday received thesParis Papers to ‘Vednes-

slay last. They devote no inconsiderable portion of their
oluntns to the ,proccedings which have just terminated
in Westminster.
In an article dated Augsburg, there is an elaborate
discusiion upon the present auspicious state of the Aus-
trian Finances, lithe statementte a correct one, there
is certainly groundsfor.congratulation ; and it is equally
certain the writer is warranted in assuming that such
an amelioration must have been produced by the pru-
-dent and vigorous measures of the Government.

WC are informed from Rome, that fresh robberies
had been committed in the aeighbouehood of Terra-
cilia. Sonic Bishops. who were proceeding from
Naples to Rome, to receive institution, were plundered.
The Duchess of Parma quitted her residence on the
9mth ult. and was expecte.l at Vienna on the l7th. Her
Imperial Highness travelled under name of the
i!ountess de Caleurne.

Accounts from Ceylon, to the end of February last,
state that Lady Brownri and all the Englit& ladies
were about to come from Candy to Columbo for pro-
tvction, and every soldier that could be spared, either
at Columbo or Gene, had been sent for to Candy, for
the purpose of keePing open, if possible„ the communi-
cation between 'the different stations in the island.—
Eltelapoola, the brother-in-law of the Dessare of •Ovid,
who was always known to be a•secret favourer of the
insurgent cause, •had at last taken an open part, and is
gone over to his countrymen.

Intelligence from.the East Indies informs us, that on
the 20th of February. the troops of Bajeorow were dis-
rrsed by General Smith, after an action in which
C(l'4 was killed, 'twelve -elephants, with 57 camels
taken, and the ..enemy broken and discomfited. No-
thing new is saidioltire Peishwa : but it is certain that
General Pritsler has closely invested the tOrt of Sing-
hur, where a considerable mess of treasure is said to be
d..posited, many of the wealthy Bramins from Poonith
Laving taken refuge in it before the surrender of the
capital. Three mortar :batteries had opened on the
katress, and from the vigour with which the siege was
carried on, it was supposed that Singhur, vith its gar.
ion of 1,500 Arabs, would speedily full into the hands
et the bcsii.gers.
A decree of the King of Denmark of the toth of

THE NATIONAL lIEGISTE/t.

WESTMINSTER ELECTION.

SATURDAY, July 4, um
The polling commencod this morning at eight o'elact.
and closed at three in the aft, moon, when the numbers
were announced privately from the hustings, we be.
•licve, by Sir Robert Wil,on, us follows :

Sir F. hominy 5-79
Sir F. Bunlett . 5158
Crt. Sir M. Alsixwill 484)8
Mr. Hunt .......

We should state, that immediately ns the 'hour for
closing the poll had been announced in the usual man-
ner, Mr. Hunt -stepped forward un the railing, and
serml,—Gentlemtn, the Whig candidate is now here,
and his friends have come to see him chaired. The
Whigs have triumphed. S;r Samuel is at the had of
The poll, whilst England's pride and 'Weqminster's
glory is only swoml,(hisscs and partial applause). He
continued his observations, but was interrupttd
cries of various descriptions, such as Ul;1t, none nt'
your lies, •tis all c• ver with you, what will you do now
Ilunt ?) Sonic delay haying occurred in making up
exactly the state of the poll, and•the crowd appearing
anxious and uneasy to ascertain it, he again obsereeii,
You are waiting for universal suffrage, und may wait
fly it.; to which was aided, by a voice from the crowd,
the High 'Bailiff must be in Chancery. The truth of
which, if any there were in it, attracted the attention
from the clap.tcrup of the boxing orator.
The High Bailiff at 1en1,411 appeared, 'and declared
that Sir tiintiel Ronsillv and Sir Frantis Burdett were
duly electeti as the leepresentatives for the City of
Westminster in Parham Shouts of Bravo,waiying
of hats, loud and continued plaudits.) Gentlemen, give
me leave to state to you, that .every Englishnum's house
is his castle, that this hustings is mine, and I caution
you against attempting its demolition (bravo, right)
'Gentlemen, I tell you, you may be satisfied that I can
have no hostility to you (very true), sod should hope
to be treated well.—( here he retired, bowing amongst .
the upplanses of the attending crowd) when
Mr. Sturch being calltd for, stepped fbrward to ad-
dress them. Genth-nen. 1 congratulate you—

But now. wet I have the of being your itepre-
sentative,l can address you in the endearing name of
my constituents (bravo). I come.ibrwurd to address and
thank you (applause). To be chosen by the free and
enlightened electors of Westminster, by so great, en-
lightened and independent a body of people; to declare
their wills and express their opinions, is the highest
honour which an individual can be raised to. I am
sensible, Gentlemen, that I could have no pretension
to such a distinguished situation. I have endeavoured,
though ineffectually, to support the public interests:
but the ibis, the praises which have been bestowed upon
me by the partiality of its friends, has been by far out-•
weighing my deserts; praises almost which 1 •should
appeal against, rather than adopt. By endeavours.
Gentlemen, I have obtained this distinguished honour
(applause.) I have been born amongst you, and upon
the conduct alone which I have pursued in public life
could I have any hopes of placing any reliance for your
exertions. My thanks,Gentlemen, canned be expressed
by words, but-actions; not here, Gentlemen, but in my
place in the Mouse of Commons. As a Representative
can best thank his constituents, by a faithfill dis-
charge of
_public duty, by a constant and a vigilant
guardianship of the public liberty, the determined asser-
tion of the people's rights; by resisting all attacks, whether
made in the case of-juries, or the Habeas Corpus Sus-
pension Act ; by resisting a Government supported
by spies and informers (shouts of applause) ; by re-
sisting all new and oppressive taxes, and resisting in
time, any attempt that may be made to renew the -In-
come Tax (bravo)—to abolish sinecures and useless
places, to lessen the influence of a corrupt k;overnment
(loud applause), to obtain-a more equal reprtwentation
of the people (bravo, • bravo, and -load pirudits), to
shorten the duration of Parliaments(hurra, bravo), and
restore to England the character she once enjoyed, of
being the asylum for all those who are persecuted for
religious or political opinions. To do this for you, I can
appeal to put conduct ; and when the period arrives zt
which I shall have to return into your hands, the trust
you now repose.in mine, I trust in God, Gentlemen,
I :hall be able to render you a good account (bravo,
huzza.) It is impossible for me, Gentlemen, to ex-
press my feelings on this occasion.— (Here the [.earned
Gentleman appeared particularly affected at the IT-
plause with which-he was greeted from all quarters.)_
I return you my best thanks—,they are too feeble for
your. kindness—again I beg to than). you.
[Sir Samuel now retired, with•several of his friends
who accompanied him from the hustings, amongst
whom we noticed, Mr. W. Smith, Member of Parlia-
mani tc -N.trwich, Sir Robert Wilson, the Gentlemen
his.Committec, and many other reams of tlistinc-

Linn, whose names, we cannot at this moment set down.
The cheering at his departure was loud and unanimous.
A general cry for Mr Sturch was now raised, and he
appeared in front of .the hustings,]
Mr. Sturch—Gentlemen, what I told win has been
realized ; upon the trial our .eneuties have been eon-
fininded, the battle is fought ani the victoray is gained
(bravo, applause.) We have defeated, gentlemen, the
power of the Court and all the influence of a corrupt

men, the men von have now chosen as your represen.
sativte, cannot be surpassed for inflexible integrity,
for undeviating attention to the rights and liberties of
the people, whose actions bespeak them as fit men to
represent you as any miters in the empire—men who
when they are sent back to you, to resign this trust,
will return with clean hands and the heartfelt con-
sciousness of having served your interests by every
means within their power. -I know, gentlemen, that
you feel every confidence, as you may do, in these taco;
and I um sure it is your desire that their names shocld
Le long continued together 'in Westminster, as friends
of freedom and humanity (loud applause). ( icailemen,
I am sure you will agree with me to use the victory with
modesty, and enjoy the triumph with good temper. I
opposed the gallant Captain because I considered him to
be eteplo:fed in a corrupt ministry—fhr a bad purpose
(applause.) Bat I feel not the slightest resentment
towards Lim personally, and I may say that as in pri-
vate lifC he is honourable, and in his poles.sion a good
seaman, I am sorry he should have been employed in
a service, where 170 honour. could be gained, and I dare
say, he is sorry for it himself'. lam sorry Lord Cus.
tlereagh had no other business for him; than to press
him fbrward, not to restore our ancientindependence
but to.reduee us under his able management to a state
of bondage, (bravo, bravo, 'lStueoh—avell said, bravo.)
Our enemies, gentlemen, have failed—ahe Captain is
absent, and I trust he will be so fin- ever. I wish him
from all my heart, success in .his pursuits--advance.
went in his professien—but never to see hint here as a
candidate lint the suffrages of independent men. (Ap-
plause.) It is unnecessary for me to say.any thiug in
praise of' the character of those honourable men whom
you have chosen for their virtues, zeal, or their abi-
lity. 'During the election you have shewn yourselves
the friends of peace, decorum and good order ; and let
me exhort you to give aao room to the advocates of uni.
vernal anarchy and confusion to reproach you.—(Par.
tial hisses and applause —llunt still on the railing ex..
cited a momentary outcry at the Jast expressions, and
Mr. Sturch retired, amidst the mostgeneral and hearty
acclamations )

Mr. Richardson.—Gentlemen, it is not in my power
to .address you in elegant Janguage, but. with such as I
have, I hope to meet your indulgence. The men you
have just now returned, Will serve you with zeal,
with principle, and ability. You were promised that
Sir Francis Burdett would have lam placed at the head
of thepoll—lint from tke attempts made by the Mi-
nisters and their retainers, not to return the man who
most served you—and the splittino. of votes on his part
with Sir •Sainuel Pen:»illy to the amount of nearly
2000, he has only the second place. Jut even as it is,
gentlemen, I congratulate you upon returning a man,
who has served and will still continue to serve you.
I have now, gentlemen, but a few words to address to
you. The chaiiiiig of Sir •Sumnel lirnnilly will speedily
tale place, and after you have enjoyed the triumph,
put it nut in the power of the Government or the
Crown to cull out the military. Let your voices echo
loudly to the praises of Sir Samuel if you will, but
guard cautiously against all violence, Ihr every advan-
tage will be taken of it. Sir Francis Burdett is net
heir, but for his Committee, I beg leave, being deputed
tic that purpose, to return you his and their thanks. For
their canvass, gentlemen, the unceasing labour and the
industry, they deserve your praise. You will see Sir
Francis in a few duys, as his committee mean to have
him chaired, and confer upon him all those cen:pli-
meats which his character and cervices demand. (Ap-
plause.) Gentlemen, from the High Bailiff we -ha
experienced every possible attention ; he has dis-
charged his duty with zeal, politeness, and inlpar-
tiality, deserves our best thadas. (Applause.)—
The principal attraction was now directed to the tri-
umphal car which was in waiting in Henrietta Street
for the purpose of having Sir Samuel Itomilly chaired
and although Mr. Hunt as usual, addressed the crowd,
he made but a sorry dying speech, and was hissed and
applauded, exactly in the same manner as for several
days past. The great hulk of the remaining people
quickly dispersed, and Hunt's carriage was ready her
the conveyance of his friends, Mr. Way of Wardour
Street, Mr Carlisle, the -printer, Mr. Gale Jones his
orator, an some other Gentlemen, whose names ore not
to be fianal within the Court Calendar, or in the Lon-
don Directory. The orator himself was mounted, and
ot his way from the hustings stopped at the Courier
and Morning Post Offices, harangued the gaping few
who Wowed him, and for ought we know, regaled
them again with a gootl.vecch at his lodgings. Hia.
