LONDON.

GENTLEMEN,
\ A TITI-I the greatest deference and respect I most
earnestly int reat the favour of you to elect me to the
next Parliament. .

A mere Seat in Parliament has never been, my estiim-
lion, of very great value. but to have sat there so long as one
of the four Citizens of Loinkm, whom you have at variuus.
times seeded to be your Representatives in the great Council
of the Nation, is to me a source of gratification, which it will
be my greatest pride to preserve. - •
The• House of Commons must be to my sensation very dif-
ferent from what it was when it contained -that illustrious
Statesman and -Patriot of whom we have lately been bereft,
with whose
.political principles I coincided, and; of whose
friendship I partook • but 1 trust that the same consistent
and independent public Condutt, and the same regard to your
Interests'and to your wishes, by which I have always .been
actuated, will obtain me the same support I have hitherto re-
ceived from you. and thereby replace. me in the honourable
situation from which it is more than probable 1 an about to
be removal by a speedy Dissolution of Parliament. With
the most grateful respect and attachment, 1 'have the honoUr
to be, Gentlemen,
Your most obliged and faithful Servant,
H. C. COMBE.

C'ENTI:EM
HAVING bad the honour of being returned by
you, as your Representative, in three successive Par-
liaments, allow me to solicit the continuanca of your. favour
and support to replace me (in the .event of a. Dissolution) in
that most important and honourable situation.--My Consti-
tutional Principles have been repeatedly declared, and, I trust,
upon every occasion where it has been required, as zealonsly
maintaiined ; my attention to the'rights'and privileges of my
Fellow Citizens has been unremitted, and the general interest
of the opulent and commercial City of London assiduously
su p ported. —T rusung that the experience of my past conduel
will be, the best pledge of the future, I remain,.
Gentlemen,
With the greatest respect and gratitude,
Your obedient and faithful humble Servant,
WILLIAM CURTIS.

throt:gli ybur courldcnc,_.. and choice, to succeed your late re-
' vered Kepre3.lvative, Mr. I' ;) X.. M y motives for then de-
ciining the distinguished honour proposed to the must, 1 am
confident, have received. upon tine consideration, the sanction
of every unbiased and relit:ding mini.

I imake no professions; I am contint you do not expect any,

inaintenince of the principles of Mr. Fox is now more than
ever a sacred duty.
It is a solemn Trost, hcqutsathed especially to those who

in his steps while living. My etiorts to execute my humble
