The Committee have also resolved, in the event of a dist°.
lution of Parliament, to support their present excellent repre.
sentative, Sir S. B. 'Whalley, and Mr. T. Murphy, a much.
respected fellow-parishioner, who at the irst contest for the
borough polled near 1,000 votes, and whose supporters have
much increased since that period ; and many of the gentlemen
who signed the requisition calling on you to come fm-ward as
a candidate, did so on the express understanding that in case
of Mr. Murphy being proposed as a candidate, tney should vote
for that gentleman.
In forwarding the resolutions, I bog to assure you they were
not passed from any personal dislike or disrespect to yourself,
but to establish the principle that the electors ought to be left
to their own free choice, and not to be subject to the di•_tation
of any body of gentlemen, however respectable or i-.Atluential
they may be.

I have the honour to be, Sir, your obedi,rt Servant,
13. Hall, E. WILLI4II DOUGLAS.

MR. HALL'S REPLY.
" St. James's-place, March 6, 1L137.
" SIR-I have received your letter euntaining a copy of
Rtsolesions passed at a meeting held in the parish of St.
Pancras, on Thursday last, at which I am given to under.
stand about fifty gentlemen were present. I beg to inform
you, with all deference to the opinions of the gentle-
men who composed that mftting, and who, according to
your statement, intend supporting Mr. Thomas Murphy,
in conjunction with Sir Samuel Whalley, that I appear as a
candidate for the representation of the borough of Mary-
lebone, in cem,equence of a requisition to that effect most
numerously signed by the electors, and it is not my inten-
tion to retire from the position in which I am placed, until I
am assured that a very large portion of the constituency de-
sire that I should do so, or until I mu convinced that the
electors would prefer being represented by Mr. Murphy rather
than myself. I most entirely agree with you that the elec-
tors ought to be !at to their own free choice, but I cannot
observe that this sentiment is either in accordance with the
spirit of your letter er the resolutions to which it refers.
I have the honour to be, Sir,
Your most obedient humble Servant,
To Mr. Wm. Douglas. B. HALL.

ENERAL EVANS.

TO THE EDIPOit OF 7'HE SUN.
Sir,—ln your paper to-night is a disparaging remark upon
General Evans for not advancing against the Carlists, which,
when I consider the generally admirable character of your
Spanish politics, appears rather thoughtless. General Evans
is now hemmed in by 20,000 to 22,000 Carlists, and he is
quite right not to attack an enemy entrenched, and so superior
in number to his own force, unless he is sure of being sup-
ported. But the contrary certainty is so well known, that the
Carlists venture to unite their whole force against Evans and
Saarsaeld, leaving only 7,000 men to watch Espartero, who has
above 20,000, and, unfitiunately for his country, commands
her principal force. Espartero Is a Pastelero, like Cordova,
and is playing precisely the same traitorous game to the pre-
sent Government at Madrid; he is, besides, very jealous of
Evans, and of Evils: assistance, to which he is well aware
his Forced relief of Bilboa is due and is attributed ; he has
also a bitter feeling to that generous soldier and kindhearted
man, General Jauregui, who is, with his chapelgories, at St_
Sebastian, because he and they have refused positively to serve
under Espartero since his sanguinary butchery of half a dozen
chapelgories, about two years ago. All these motives, com-
bined with a singularly unenterprising spirit for a military man,
though personally brave, as most soldiers are when once en-
gaged in the fight, are well known to be the real causes of
Espartero's injurious and shameful inaction. He perhaps is
as well pleased as Don Carlos himself to see and to cause the
paralization of Evans' and Jauregui's force, and cares little for
the additional loss of life his delay in opening the campaign
will occasion. While on the subject of Spain, permit me to
express the hope, that if General Evans should lay hold of
Don Carlos or Guibelalde, he will have them garotted as com-
mon murderers—the one for the Durango decree, and the
other for murdering the four Scotch prisoners shot at Hernani
on the 24th ult.

March 10.

I am, Sir, your most obedient servant,
AN ENGLISHMAN.
