you fur the distinguished place 011 the poll, to

you will continue your efforts, an as to secure his

(lemma who addressed you on behalf of Sir Francis
Burdett, tending to accuse the friends of Sir S.
Roundly of having formed a coalition with a Can- ,
didate supported hs the Court. On behalf rf my-
self, and all Sir S. llorailly's friends, I 'appear
boldly ta deny the assertit.h. It is alt,,getlrpr
ua-
founded. My own wishes are, that Sir F. Burdett
should stand first ma the poll, and next to him Sir
S. Homily. After the eulogiuto ott the character
of Sir S. Roundly you have heard train that inile-
pemient graitleman who has triumphed over the
etfoits of corruption in the Borough (Sir Robert
Wilson), it is unnecessary for one to enter into
defence of it. I shall merely observe, that Sir S.
Roinilly's object is, to restore your Coustittition to
what at had ba-en sit the era of the Ilievolution
re...establish it in the purity it then posse,a6tal—and
obtain a return to triennial Parliartscoto, are his
fixed principles; awl if ever hr deserts them. I

Con it, Gentlemen, be any reproach to the Electors
of Westminster. that they wish to return with Sir
F. Burdett a main able and ready to reply to, and

energy, and virtue, well worthy of universal sclop-
lion. Throughout the whole of the day the Hall
was crowded adenoid to saint:eh tttt , and the streets •
in its immediate vicinity so thronged with anxious
citizens, as to render the passage even of the
Electors to the Hall extremely difficult in the
early part of the day, and towards the approach of
the final hour, absolutely impossible. Several
carriages filled with Electors, and ornamented with
cockades of Mr. Alderman THORP'S colours
(orange and blue), were stopped in King-rtreet by
the extreme density of the crowd, and the worthy
Alderman was thereby deprived of loamy votes, had
tone permitted the possibility of their being {aked.
Placards were exhibited every half hour %hewing the
state of the poll, and as the public interest was
warmly excited by the immediate contest between
THORP and CURTI% nothilig could exceed is
energy the expression of public kit excited by
every progressive improvement iu Alderman
'ltemises numbers.
The Elections have thus terminated in two sec-
tions of the metropolis, and nothing, we hunstrly
conceive, could more fully or fitirly speak the sense
of the people than the results. We have seen the
Ministerial Candidates defeated in every instance,
and in a miiiiiser so decided as not to leave a shadow
of doiiket as to the sentiments entertained by the
majority of the people with regard to the present
adtatiiistiation of public affairs. This opinion has
bran expressed iii opposition to the dictates of i.elf
interest, in opposition to the influence of wealth
and authority, almost under the very eye of Go-
vernment, and in places most likely to be under its
direct control, but in placer, it must not be for-
gotten, where the most correct estimate is likely to
be formed of the propriet% of rs measures. The
decision was slot that of at Spa-fields mob, or of an
aesenibly at Palace-yard, where public appeals
might be made to the passions of the people, and
their judgments perverted byllecioue words, or the
sudden effects of misrepresentation. But here the
merits of the respective Cawßilatts, the character of
their past services, and the nature of their future en-
gagements, were laid coolly before the people. They
Hare to be estimated in the silence of the closet—
they were to be the subject of private and familiar
couversation—they were to be elucidated by the
remarks of friends or the taunts of enemies—an 1,
hsving had sufficient tone to form, if he pleased,
an ueibiliseeil opinion, each Elector was individnellt
to go in the face of his country, and solemnly declare
the result of his iisvestigation. Not even a Minis-
ti rich Print will there to question the respectability
of the Electors of London and Southwark, or deny
their fituess, in the aggregate, to form a just opi.
upon men and measures, long the objects of
their most anxious attention. If their judgment
be quest d, to what oilier bodies of Electors in
the kingdom can we look with confidence ? They
are lOr the most part men of good education,
and of sufficient livelihood, with leisure to two
their thoughts to public matters: their decision
will. therefore, be disputed only by those who
would deprive the people altogether of any voice in
the lippointinent of their Rulers,
We trust that in a very few days we shall
have still further cause to exult in the instil-
laudation of public opinion iii the choice of the
Representatives for Westminster. The triumph
of the Livery of London and of the inhabitants of
Southwark in returning six independent. and, we
think, without one exception, six popular men, to
the exclusion of the Ministerial Candidates, can-
not fail of stimulating the Citizens of Westminster
'to a similar exertion of spirit and independence.
The lesson was nut lost upon them, for with milk
and pleasure we find that, at the cloy* of yesterday's
poll, Sir SAMUEL ROMILLT amid Sir FRANCIS
' BURDETT stood pre-eminent. Some idea of the
wonderful influence of Sir F. BuiturrT's name,
when unasisoeiated with any other Candidate, may
be collected from the fact, that the Ron. Baronet
in the course of yesterday polled 908 votes, a num-
ber, we believe, never equalled in any one day of a

THERLANDS, hi 'repressing the instirrectioris that
took place at Ainboysia, and the measures
adopted for punishing . the insurgents and trait-
galltxing tlie country. The spirit of hostrlity
to the Dutch Government appears to have been
eery extensive Hod active in several of the islands of
the Eastern Indian Ocean. Se‘eral of the native
Prilicei were engaged hr promoting; it, and the
esperielice of past events sill well justify our op-
prt that the conduct of the ruling power
was neither calculated to conciliate the favour,
nor appease the enmity of the unfortunate
people. The Dutch have ever had the repu-
tation in the East, of being the meanest in
subilliwsion, the most tyrannical in powerthe most
faithless as enemies, and treacherous as friends--
that ever appeared lir those seas ; and nothing could
exceed the consterinition displaced by the people of
