LON DON,
TUESDAY, Julia 23, 18111.

We stated yesterday that Mr. CHARLES BAIL.
cr..41. had withdrawn from the contest in the Bo-
rough, leaving the field open to his more fortunate
rivals. This determination on the part of Mr.
llaaci.av was regularly notified yesterday to the
Ugh Bailiff, who consequently proclaimed, in the
usual firm, that Mr. CALVEILT sod Sir ROBERT
WII.SON were duly elected to serve in Parliament
for the Borough of Southwark. We siucerely
ofsgratselete the Electors in that section of the
metropolis on the sound judgment they evinced in
the choice of their Representatives, and on the
'pint and determination they displayed in giving
0.11 to their opinions. Their triumph has been
rho h more complete than engirt have been on-
:Fated pieviuue to the contest by the most san-
t:time friends of independeoce, and the result is
the mare important, as it exhibits an example to
Ule r(iu;,!ry of what the utibi.issed sense of the
In "I'y of the people might be expected to be,
itheir%er it was hot counteracted by the immediate
of Goveromerit•
for Westminster proceeded yes-
h !dd.). with increased sidrit On the part of the CAW.
(1,c1,1r4 and their fliends, but we are sorry to add,
"t It was also accuminmiell with increased violence
on that of the people assembled to witness the pro-
ceedings. The appe•rance of Sir M. MAIWELL
and ht+ frirods on the hustings, was the signal for
cuminenciiig a scene of the most disgraceful and
"""'"I.IY outrage% that ever were remembered, and
such, " air la. I•limoitd, O. were never before off•red
to any l'iniditlate for Westiniecntr, however oh-
riexiuut to the people. The excellent temper and

goad humour of the gai4 tot Captain are mishoke-
able, and it is streage that qualities usually so
conocilisting have not had the. effect, in the
'Hotrod mamma, of. appeasing the virUleneo of
loos persecutors. His attendance on the •hustings
is literally a service of danger, for he is not
only mailed with mud, and other substances
still more disgusting' but even hriek-hats and
stones are not unfrequently lithig at him. With
the eaceptieis of the blow he received on his rye,
041 the first day of the klection, his person has
hitherto escaped unhurt; but a gentleman stand-
Mg near Inns yesterday on the hustings was toot
equally fortunate, his head having been severely
wounded by a brick-bar. We should imagine that
a judicious disposition of constables would have
the effect of preventing similar excesses in (attire.

At the close of the poll yesterday, the respective
Candidates retained the relative situation they held
on Saturday, but the friends of Sir FRANCIS Butt-
DETT were particularly active in promoting the
interests of the Hon. Baronet, who has in conse-
quence advanced rapidly upon Sir Mtaluor MAR..
watt.. Sir SANUNLRomeLLY. during the course
of the day, polled 002; Sir MURRAY MAXWELL.
485 ; and Sir FRANCIS Binunrr, 779. At the
close of the poll on Saturday. Sir FRANCIS BUR-
DETT was 757 behind his gallant rival, but at the
close of the poll yesterday. the difference between
them was not more than 463. We the►efore enter-
'retain the most confident hopes that the result of
the contest will give an additional triumph to the
cause of independence.

The Election in the City is rendered extremely
interesting by the close contest between Sir
LIAM CURTIS and Mr. Alderman Timer. The
worthy Baronet, however, it will be seen, was yes.
terday, at the close of the poll, 129 before his ante-
gonist. The resignation of Mr. Alderman ATKINS
is supposed to have, in some &grew. swelled the
number. in favour of Sir WILLIAM ; but if Mr.
Alderman Tuoar's friends exert themselves this
day as they did yesterday, hopes may still be en.
tertained of the worthy Alderman's success. This
prospect should animate every friend of indepen-
dence, and call furth extraordinary exertions for
its attainment. The poll will finally close this day
at three o'cl.,ck.

The Elections throughout the kingdom are gene-
rally, we had almost said universally, proceeding in
a manner and with a spirit that cannot fail of
proving highly gratifying to every lover of his
country. Wherever the voice of the people is un-
influenced and unrestrained, we uniformly perceive
the tone of disgust at the measures of the present Go..
veriinseut ; and we have nodes, ht that, on the meeting
of the new Parliatnent, Ministers will feel the effects
of their repeated outrages against the liberties of the
people ; they will have lost many of those *Uhler.
Tient adherents who used to swell their majorities in
the House of Commons, in profound contempt of
public opinion, and to the destruction of our dearest
interests. Citedtuitions of the probable results of
the General Election are daily and anxiously making
at the Treasury, where—not to depress the spirits
of their adherents ton much—it is asserted that
Ministers will lose only thirty Members of the House
of Commons; but from this admission much more
may be collected, and from every thing that has
hitherto transpired, we feel ourselves far removed
from exaggeration when we express our belief that
Ministers will lose little short of double that number.

The Paris Papers of Friday arriVtd last night.—
The KING enjoys good health, and is daily occu-
pied in b►►siuess with his Ministers. The appearance
of the Duke of WaLLItIOTON at Versailles, on
Tuesday, is said to have excited great curiosity,
and to have attracted a crowd• of admirers. His
Grace's person must have ceased long since to be a
novelty iii the neighbourhood of Paris, aad the
public anxiety to see the Army of Occupation
withdrawn, will not allow us to I►elieve that the
people of Versailles felt any gratification at his
Grace's presence.

It would be a duty at any time, but one ren-

on the character of Si► S. ROMILLY yesterday, in
the Court of Chancery, by the Loan CHAN-
CELLOR. in the case of Lady FRANCIS EMILY

ship observed, that he never knew • person as a

he would to that of Sir S. ROMILLY.

We understand, by letters of high authority from
India, that military possession will be taken by
Great Britain of the dominions of the Rajah of
BEILA ; rod that the government of that extensive
country will be admiuistered pretty much as the
affairs of Mysore have been conducted biller the
death of TlPPOO—namely, by investing a British
Resident with all real authority; and leaving, or
placing, a nominal Sovereign on the throne. We
further learn that the Pateew♦ will certainly he
deposed, and the office abolished ; that there it to
be henceforth no ostensible head of the Nlshritta
empire ; but that a relative of the present Chieftain
will be entitled Itijuli of Poonah.—(isegoing

Private letter. from Paris speak of the extreme
dissatisfaction which seems to prevail amongst the
monied houses of France on the subject the loam
of twenty-two millions contracted for with the Nli-
Meters by Messrs. BARING, stead oilier foreign capi-
talists. The French Bii, kers, finding that they
could not have the whole loan to themselves, have
now come to s resolution, it is said, to refuse the
II millions reserved for them by the house of BA It•
IRO and Co. The ostensible objection to their
accepting this moiety is, that they consider the price,
viz. 67, as ton burdeusome to France—ia other
words, too favourable to the contractors; and they
insist that the Minister should not have agreed IN
any proposal below the price of 7i.

To the expressed and universal satisfaction of the
inhabitants of this place. our liberal and royal boar-
factor, the Prince Regent, returned to this place
between seven and right titinck hat night. It dors
not appear that his welcome arrival was looked for

the Hereditary Prince, she did not return loom

The Prince Regent, this morning, took a view of

in an unfinished state; and at half-past two o'clock
in the afternoon, proceeded, with the Princess, Lady
Elizabeth Montague, and Lord William Gordon,
ill • landau, to review four troops of the 9th lancers,
on the slope of the Northern Downs, about a mile
from the town. The reeler; was sodden and com-
