bers, arrived in the Borough, and the canvass of hods parties
ban proceeded with great briskness. Oa Monday last both
parties gave public clingers to their friends. The head.
geometers of the parties were at the King's Arms (Sir Rn.
b.rt's Inn), sad the Castle (Lord Townshend's), which
Inns are ex/icily opposite each other. After diorite, in the
coarse of the teeming, the rival Candidates paraded the
town, in procession, with appropriate flags, Ice. The
processions meeting (as the mailer Is stated to as) the
!bearer of one of the Peel flags, waved it gloatingly, over
the heads of the rival party ; the flag was instantly torn to
atoms; the processions passed oa—but the " thumb had
been bitti is," as Stateliest,' says. Arrived at the Inas,
W. Peel, E-q. appeared at the window, and we believe, ad-
dressed the freemen below. He had a walking stick in his
hand, which the Towiethesd boys any was shaken, as in
men see (a thing perhaps not very like)y, bat the thought
was egeougli). Instantly to it the rival boys went; and

and the siege began us both of the portions. : windows!

Harlequin, till scarce a stick or pass was ',MN,. The job
was completed el both houses in a few minutes. A
cart load of lame paving stoats were collected from
the rooms of each ins, many of which come rolling
down the stair-cases like thasder. Oa the part of the
Towndiend boys the war was instantly carried to the house
of Edmond Peel, Esq. across IMF road which panes the
corner of the street at right angles. This residence Matsui!,

The mausoleum which the army of the Sambre

Coblentz, on Mount Saint Pierre, to Gei:enil
Marceau, has been demolished. The material.
are to be employed in the work. of fortifications.
General Marceau, at the age of 27 years, and en-
dowed with great military Wen.. mid much intre-
pidity, was slain at the battle of Allenkirchen.—
The Archduke Charles, who then commanded the
Austrian army, as soon as lie was apprised of

funeral honours to be paid him.
Letters from Bucharest, in Wallachia, dated the

THE B Rrn s H PRES S.

LONDON.

MONDAY, JUNE IS, isie.

During the couise of the present or the ensuing
week the elections will have coinineticcd through-
out the great extetit of the kingdom, and the pub-
lic mind will be fur some short time in a state of
constant anxiety and agitation. There call be no
spectacle so itup►atng as that of a great people ex-
ercising the right of choosing those who are to go-
vern them. Its this they prove the triumph of
po-
litical reason, but in exercising the right with dis-
crimination, they alone *hew themselves worthy of
possessing it. Integrity in character and warden&
vice in fortune, are the chief qualities which should
be sought for in choosing Members fur the !louse
of Commons, and these are not hard to be obtained,
we will say, in any part of the kingdom. But, be-
sides this simple rule. the people have in the pre-
sent instance a kind of negative guide, wh;cli may
prevent them, at least. from making many itnpro.
per elections. Let them carefully acau the long
and anxious career of the Par liaintot just dissolv-
ed, mud referring to those great questions that prin-
cipally involved the dearest interests or the country,
Jet them examine whether their Represetitatives
voted fur the manifest good of the people, or solely
to gratify the partial views of a Minister. If they
find that any MAO voted fur AU immense standing
army in time of peace, roc!' a M.llll is unworthy of
their future confidence. If they find that ally man
voted for the suspension of the Habeas Corpus Act
tv,ice, during a scasou of profoutal peace. fur the

.

salt purpose of maintaining a weak and inefficient
Adininist ration, they may write him &alto dis-
honest man, and unworthy of their coufidetire.
They may affirm the same of those men who wiled
for maintaining a system of expenditure exe!etling
our revenue by fourteen millions per auturas ; of
those Men, wbo,lo sUnpOrt the rate of excessive taxa-
tion, assented to the prolongation of a paper cur.
renry that undermines the stability of our resources,
deranges the relative value of all property, compels
the public to become creditors to the Bank of
t nglatuf, to the amount. of nearly thirty millions
annually, and by increasing the facility of for.
gory, gives • dreadful impulse to crime, mind
degrades the national character by the shock-
ing frequency of public executions. They may
affirm the same of those men who, haviiir, con- .\
•
signed the people to the clement), of the Secre-
tary of 'States refused to investigate the affecting
narratives of cruelty and sufferings endured I.y
same unhappy individuals, whose innocence of any
alleged offence was proved by the absence of legal
prosecution. The people of LiverpoOl in fair-
tirular will, we trust, possess sufficient honest in-
dignation to revenge the insult offered in the Muse
of Commons to the humanity of the country, and
send Mr. CANNING to some Etter place to crack
his miserable jokes upon the unfortunate sictini
ministerial oppression, writhing beneath the siir-
genii's knife. Reflections of this nature will *Met
much towards producing a practical Reform in II e
!louse of Commons, without descending to the
visionary ■nd destructive schemes of pelfiction, by
Annual Paliaments and Universal Stitliage, which
hove fur sonic time offended the judgmtnt of the
wiser part of the nation. It is vain to look
a Reform of any kind in Parliament, unless it corn.
mence, with the people, and this great object can- I
not fail of being beneficially and safely obtained, if
the electors throughout the kingdom act with the
same independence and liberality as they would
de►ire their Representatives to display w bile per-
fuming their duty in Parliament. It is with pride
and pleasure we find that the sentiments of this
great Metropolis, as far as they have been acer-
tained on the present canvass, barmonire with these
opinions. In Westminster the public voice is
decidedly expressed in favour of Sir SAMUEL BO-
HILLY and Sir FRANCIS BURDETT. Indeed, the
former we may ex,.€ct will be voted in. to us a
common phrase, by acclamation.—ln the City,
Messrs. Woon, THORP. %VAITHMA N, 11 't I.SoN, and
ROWCROFT, stand high in public estimation.

We have received Paris Papers of Wednesday and
Thursday last. They contain a Treaty concluded
on the 48th of February last between France nod
the Two Sicilies, in which his Most Christian 'Ma-
jesty consents to the abolition of all the privileges
and exemptions hitherto enjoyed by the sat jeclk,
commerce, and ships of France in the States, ports,
and dominions of Ins Sicilian Majesty, by virtue
of the Treaty of the Pyrenees; that of A ix-la-Chit-
pelle, in May 1668 ; the declaration given by ties:
Court of Madrid, Mardi 1667 ; and other act,
which gave to the subjects of France the same ad-
vantages as had been conceded to the English by
the Treaty of 1667, between Great Britain and
Spain. La return fur this concestion, his ~tciliMh
Majesty promises, from the date of tile abolition of
these' privileges, a diminution of ten per cent, on
■Il rates and duties payable on the merchandise or
produce of the kingdom of France Militated into
the States of his Sicilian Majesty.

We have noticed the Treaty thus part:cularly.
because, from the following Proclamation, dated
Napless, April 16, sad a note attached to it in the
Moniteur, se are given to understand that a similar
Treaty was concluded between Crest Britain and
the Two Sicilies, on the 4th of September, 1816:
