LONDON. 1,-
MONDAY, Jona 112. 18111.

The Elections proceeded on Saturday in London,
Westminster, and Southwark, with their wonted
spirit, attended also with the customary tumult,
but the close of the polls made no change in the
relative position of the several Candidates. In Lon-
don, Messrs. WooD, WILSON. WAITHIAW, and
Curtis, are still the four favoured Candidates, but
it will be seen that Sir W. Curets is not more than
115 over Mr. Alderman Tante ; and when it is
considered that on Saturday the greater part of the
Livery are busily employed, particularly that inde-
pendent part on whom Government can least exer-
cise an influence. while to those under the control
of the Bank, the India House, the Bankers of the
City, and the other great public bodies, the day
was in a great measure indifferent. we• should
rather be surprised at ending the Government
Candidates so little advanced, than dismayed nt
Peeing one of the independent Candidates so very
little behind his rival. We entertain very sanguine
Lopes that the result of this Jay's poll, provided
the independent Liverymen do their duty, will
place the Candidates in a situation Car less flattering
to the wishes of the Minister.

In ‘Vestminster, Sir SAMUEL Ro(ILLT sud. Sir
Mu RRAY MAXWELL have far outstripped Sir
FRANcta BtutoETT, and the other Candidatee.
There are not however, more than 3,000 house.
holders polled as yet, so that the worthy Baronet's
preopects should not Le regarded as desperate. The
Committee who have so kindly undertaken to de-
grade Sir FRANCIS BURDETT, and to cheat West-
minster of a Representative who has so long and so
justly enjoyed the 'deem of his fellow-citizens,
appear to be at length in some degree snare of their
indiscretion, and have consented to withdraw the
bailie of Mr. DOUGLAS KINN AIRD from the con-
test. On Saturday, Mr. BRUCE. already so Batter•
ingly knows, to the public. as the associate of Sir
Roam. WlLson and Captain HuTaunton. in ef-
fecting the escape of LAYALETTI from the perse-
cution' of a vaugninary faction, appeared ou the
hustings in Covent-garden, and read a letter
from Mr. DOUGLAS Burnam), desiring that his
name should be withdrawn, on the supposition
that it interfered with Sir FRANCIS BURDETT'S
Eleetiuoi. Mr. CLEARY read a similar letter from
Major CARTWRIGHT; so that the contest now con-
tinues betweenthr SAMUEL ROHILLY, Sir MURRAY
M A IWKI.L. Sr FRANCIS BURDRTT, and Mr. HUNT.
—Mr. Hu NT, however, persists in maintaining his
pretensions. Of his motives we shall not pretend to
judge, but his chance of success may be easily
estimated by comparing his 33 votes to the hun-
dreds of the other Candidates.

The polling on Saturday in Covent-garden less
rendered remarkable by the appearance of Lord
CASTLEREAGH. who gave a plumper to his own
Candidate, Sir MURRAY MAXWELL. His Lordship
wan, we are sorry to say, treated with considerable
violence by some twenty of the lowest rabble crowd-
ed round the hustings. On the preceding day Lord
YARMOUTH appeared on the hustings, and also gave
a plumper to Sir M. MAXWELL. We do not dispute
the right of either of these Noble Lords to give their
suns at the hustings. as they may think proper ; but
%lien ae con►ider the mass of Acts of Parliament
twined in the spirit, and for the sole purpose of
counteracting the 'Outlier of Government, in the
Elections of Members to serve in the House of
Commons, we cannot but 'sleets' the personal inter-
ference of these Noble Lords, and particularly of
Lo►d CASTLEREAGH, in the Election for West ' -
bier, as exceedingly indelicate.
the Bo►ough, the return of Mr. CALTERY
and Sir Burma.? WI Loom, we are happy to slate,
his hero decided by the iribiguatinis al Nit.. BARCLAY.
Tin, dittiniiiistion is ►tit coed:table to Mr. BAR-

ct&v, fo► nearly 1,000 voters still remained to be
'soiled, and his former situation as Member for the
Borough would have justified his continuance of
the roiliest. The mind hut slowly and unwillingly
admits the possibility of disappointment, and
it requires • great exertion of judgment to over-
come the obstinacy of pride, when it has been
strengthened by former triumphs. We are happy,
however, to perceive, from the examples given
both in the City and the Borough, that it is pos-
sible for Candidates to carry on Election contests
without displaying any personal rancour, or de-
parting from that suavity of deportment which is
the peculiar characteristic of gentlemen.

The Courier, of Saturday, derides the Committee
of Shopkeepers in the interest of Sir Fsawcis
Boantrr. The shopkeepers of the City of West-
mioster, assuredty, are not a contemptible body of
men. The Editor of The Courier must be of very
high rank, who thus looks down upon them. Bo•
NAPARTZ designated, by way of contempt, the
whole island a station of Shopkeepers; but we did
net expect to And in 7Se Courier the plagiarist
and disciple of BONAPARTE. The shopkeepers
of Westminster constitutes great proportion of its
most respectable inhabitant,. The courtly Courier
may despise them, but every Candidate for West-
minder mast acknowledge their value.

We have received Paris Papers of Wednesday and
Thursday last. An article from Madrid notices
Royal Decree for the new organisation of the Army
of Spain. Private letters received in the capital from
the colonies, leave no doubt that Gen. Moat ta.o had
been wounded in the affair between him and the
Independents, on the 15th of March last. The com-
mand of the Royal Army was, in consequence,
assumed by Brigadier-General Li TORRE. This
statement respecting MORILLo's wound, gives con-
firmation, in some degree, to intelligence contain-
ed in the Jamaica Papers of the Ist of May, in
which it is stated, that Moatt.t.o was defeated by
the Independents under BOLIVAR, on the 17th of
March, at Celebes., and at the same time receiv-
ed a mortal wound in the groin from a horseman's
spears of which he is said to bare died in • few
days. It is certain that in the action at Calsbosa,
the Royal tromps must have been severely pressed,
as MORILLO.I sword and military cep, with all the
artillery, ammunition, and the military chest of the
Royalists, fell into the power of their enemies.
Several actions took place subsequently, in which
the Spanish General Li Toaas, is said to have been
severely handled, losing at Ode: 400 men; and
that San Carlos, a town seventy leagues from Ca-
meas. was occupied by the Independent General
Pass. The 'Upton Courant, of May 1, says:—
" We ascertain from different quarters accounts of
the arpival of British subjects at Guayana, amount-
ing to 2,100 men, to join the Independents. On
the 20th of April a vessel arrived here front St.
Thomas's, and brought accounts that two 'choosers
had anchored from La Gusyra and Puerto Cabello,
announcing the defeat of La Toaag, in Otter, end
that 2,000 men had taken possession of San Carlos,
and were on their march to Valencia. Baton is
stated to be at St. Eustatia with his squadron, hav-
ing compelled the Royalist squadron under GAIIO3II
to leave the mouths of the Oronoco."

A Flanders Mail arrived last night, with Pam*

New Yurk Papers have arrived, to the ttOth ult.
They state, that the British brig Bacchus, which
had been seized for • breach of the new Navigation
Art, in importing 66 chests of oranges from the
Azores, had been restored, and the forfeitures re-
mitted, in coaraequence of sal appearing that the
master was unacquainted with the provisions of the
Act alluded to. General JACKSON, after taking
the fat of St. and Heading the tilionish

garrison to rewiacols, marched to shack the tn•
dish town of Suwansiey, 107 miles Ilibtesst from St.

posed to contain 600 huts, was reduced to ashes.—

Letters from St. Bartholomew, dated May 16.
state, that iiitelligence was hourly expected there
of the fall of Laguira. Admiral BRION was in the
neighbourhood of the island. The British vessels,
the Britannia and Epierald, were preparing to sail
fur Laguira (confident of finding that place in the
hands of the Patriots), to receive the money due to
them for the stores, &c. supplied to Admiral
Baton's squadron.

Roads, from foul winds.

The Spartan, Capt. Wise, C.B. arrived at Ply-
mouth on Monday, from Algiers, whence she sailed
on the 17th of May. A letter from an officer says,
" The plague was raging with unabated fury when
we left; the deaths were from eighty to one hundred
and twenty daily. The Dey lost an only son and
two daughters whilst we were there. Our Consul
and family were well. On the 11th May two Al-
geria corvettes sailed for Bona with troupe. On
the St h we saw two Sicilian ships of the line go into
Algiers Bay. The Dey presented Captain Wise
with two beautiful Algerine stallions, and a very
handsome dagger. The late Dey, in the space of
six months, decapitated upwards of 1,400 of his
subjects, whose heads he piled up in one place and
hung on tenter-hooks. The present Dey is of more
mild manners; he may be called, in fact, a tender-
hearted barbarian."

On Wednesday his Majesty's store ship Tortoise,
Mr. Coots, Commander, arrived at Portsmouth
time Rio Janeiro, in sixty-four days, with • quan-
tity of Brazil wood, for his Majesty's service. She
brought dispatches from Commodore BOWLES,
who had returned in' the Amphion to Rio,
from the South Seas, and was about to proceed
with the learns. Honourable Capt. BRIDGMAN,
to cruise off Buenos Ayres. The Commodore has
conducted the affairs of his country with so much
address and prudence, as to hare obtained the con-
fidence of both the Royalists and Patriots. The
forces of the latter had met with some checks; but
they were only suchas tended to rekindle the flame
of contention, and protract the cruel warfare carry-
ing on. The Andronsache.. Capt. Sutaaszr. and
Blossomy. Capt. Hicxxx, were gone round Cape
Horn, to protect the &Web interests in the South-
ern Seas. The Hyacinth, Capt. SHA art, is coin-
