TO THE PROPRIETORS OF EAST INDIA STOCK.
Lanus AND GENTLEMEN,
BEG leave to announce to you my deter-
mination to proceed to the ballot at the East India
Houser L; take place 011 WEDNESDAY, the 7th
April, to supply the vacancy occasioned by the retirement
of your highly respected Director Mr. Pattison.
It is with sentiments of deep gratitude that I embrace
this occasion of expressing my sincere acknowledgments
for the many assurances of support with which I have been
favoured; and by the continuance of the kind exertions of
my friends, I confidently look forward to the attainment on
the present occasion of the object of my ambition.
I have the honour to be,
Ladies and Gentlemen,
Your obliged and obedient servant,
City of London Tavern, HENRY SHANK.

TO THE PROPRIETORS OF EAST INDIA STOCK.
LADIES ♦ND GENTLEMEN,
THEN I last addressed you, I stated that
it was not my intention to offer myself as a Can-
didate for the direction of your affairs on the first ballot
Which would occur; and conformably with that declara-
tion, I shall abstain from coming forward at the Election
for Two Directors, caused by the retirement of Mr. Bebb
and Mr. Pattison, which will take place before the General
Election.

I beg, however, to inform you, that I shall decidedly go
to the ballot for the third vacancy, on the 14th of April
next.

I come forward as a Merchant of this City—as one
nearly related to an individual who long enjoyed your con-
fidence; and I am therefore naturally anxious to submit
my pretensions to the consideration of the Proprietors, as
soon as it can be done without presumption on my part.
such an opportunity now offers, and in asking the favour
of your votes and support at the General Election on the
14th of next month, I beg to repeat the assurance, that
should I be placed by your favour in the situation to which
I aspire, my time, attention, and best abilities shall be de-
voted to the performance of my duty.

I have the honour to be,
Ladies and Gentlemen,
Your faithful servant,
THOMAS BARING.

TO THE PROPRIETORS OF EAST INDIA STOCK.
LADIES ♦ND GENTLIESIEN,

IREPEAT my determination to proceed to
the Ballot, on TUESDAY, the 6th instant, and on
the 7th and 14th, if necessary, when I most earnestly and
rsapectfully solicit the favour of your kind and independent
support. I beg to assure you that I am not intimidated
by the EXTRAORDINARY COALITION WHICH HAS
TAEEN PLACE, SO ADVERSE TO TOUR BEST INTERESTS,
AHD THE FREEDOM OF ELECTION—TENDING TO Ex-

CLUDE EVERY GENTLEMAN POSSESSING INDE-
PENDENT PRINCIPLES from a Seat in the Mum:-
11cm Upon this subject I take the liberty to refer you to
4 letter from a highly respectable, independent, and honour-
able Director, published in the Herald and Chronicle of
this morning.
I acknowledge with gratitude the unremitting exertions
of my friends, the increasing success of my canvass, and
toy obligations to those Independent Proprietors, who are
determined not to lend themselves to the bold and UNCON-
snTuTIoNAL COALITION, which has arrogated to itself the
right of nominating individuals, in rotation, to the three
vacancies in your Executive Body. I remain confirmed in
nay hopes that the great body of Independent Proprietors
Will give my claims such consideration, as must secure to
me the object of my ambition.
I have the honour to be, Ladies and Gentlemen,
Your obliged and faithful servant,
CHARLES MACKINNON.

fully receive communications.
