lies, Defence, Defiance, , Elephant, Veteran, !Ver.
rior, Polyphemus, and Bellosuz, the Amazon Fri-
gate, and Kee and Cruizer Sloops of War, we
proceeded to Revel. On the 12th instant, •we
anchored at the entrance of the Guiph of Finland,
when the Kite was detached to reconnoitre the
Roads of Revel. Whilst we waked her re-
turn, the Harpy (which we had left in Copen-
hagen Roads) joined the Fleet, with advice that
Rear-Admiral TOTTY had passed the Sound with
Four Ships of the Line, and Sixteen inferior
vesseli, and that he had proceeded to join Capt.
MURRAY'S Squadron off Carlscrona, which he was
to command on that station, till further orders from,
the Commander in Chief: The Kite- having rejoined
us, we stood in for the Harbour of Revel, and; on
the 14th, anchored there, about six miles distant
from the town.
" The same,evening Lord Nftsolv sent a Flag
of Truce to the. Governor, which having had a most
favourable reception, he saluted the Citadel from'
his Flagship (the St -George) with fifteen guns;
which was returned at sun-rise the next morning,
with the same, number of guns from the Citadel.
Lord NaLsot; then visited the Governor on shore,

BATH) JVNT I.

Tuts morning came,on the Eltaion of a Repre-
sntative in Parliament for this City, in the room
of the late MAsT Elt of the ROLLS. The Glildhall as
crowded beyond all former example. When the Cor-
poration were all a'ssembled, and the necessary, forms
were gone through, JOHN BERKELEY BUR LAND,
Esq. was proposed by Dr. iixß NGTON, and second-
ed by Mr. Alderman Pnw.or, and received with
'mingled tokens of applause and dissatisfaction:
JOHN PALMER, Esq. was proposed by Mr. Al-
derman SYmoNs, and seconded by Mr. GEORGE
CROOK, attended with loud and universal shouts
of applause.
Mr, BURL ANT then addressed the Eleetors, say-
ing, that he had been invited by a respeaable
part of the Body Corporate, to represent the
City in Parliament—an honour which he esteemed
of the first importance; but finding that a ma-
jority of the Corporation were inclined to serve
Mr. PALMER, he thought wholly of withdrawing
himself, and had signified his intention to that
efftta in a Letter to the Mayor. , However, he had
since been assured, that Mr. PALMER, as receiving
the annual sum of three thousand pounds, in lieu
of his former situation as Comptroller-General of
the Post-Office, was thereby rendered incapable of
sitting in Parliament, he was induced again tooter
himself, and having taken the advice of two eminent
Coimsel, he was now confirmed that Mr. PALmva.
was not eligible ; and he apprised every individual
in the Corporation, that each vote given to his oppo-
nent would be thrown away, he being resolved to
petition Parliament, should Mr. PALMER, of which
he entertained no doubt, be returned.

Mr. PALMER then came forward, and said, that
before he offered himself a Candidate for the si-
tuation he hoped
,he, was 'about to fill, he had
likewise taken the 'advice of three of the Most
eminent Counsel at the Bar; men whose authority.
was looked to by the whole 'Kingdom, particularly
in every case respeCting Parliamentary Usages; and
who had all unequivocally pronounced him eligible
to tinke andpossers a Seat in the House of Commons ;
that the 30oot. per annum was given him for his
life, as a remuneration (which he did then, and ever
should consider •an inadequate• compensation), for
his services to Government, ~and as such he consider-
ed himself perfectly independent. If honoured with
the Suffrages of the Body,\he had no fear respeCt-
ing it being declared by a Committee of the House,
if the Hon. Gentleman brought it to that issue, that
he was duly and legally the Representative of this
his Native Society:
. Mr, PALMER delivered this speech in a firm and
colleded 'manner, and was honoured with the huizas
of
,the populace in the Hall. The Eleaian then
commenced, when there appeared for •
JOHN PALMER), Esq. 20 7-
JOHN BERKILEY BUR LAND, Esq 7

being the whale .nuin',er of . votes, excepting
AB EL 'MOYS Y, Esq. and Pr. FR AS gR, who wei.e
absent, t one vacancy in the Commoneouncil not
yet
_filled up. _ .

The Mayor, H. ALwoop, Esq. then declared
Mr. PALMER as duly eleaed ; and he returned
thAnks to the Corporation in a few shot r, but elegant
words. He was afterwards chaired from the Guild-
hall to the Lamb Inn (the, house of his first and
steadiest friend in the accompliihing 'his great
()hied of conveying the Mails), intim. DovEi,
amidst the acclamations of as great a body of
his Fellow-Citizens as ever assembled, in whose
hearts no man ever had n firmer, or a warmer seat,
than our new Representative.

Yesterday being Trinity-Monday, the Corpo-
ration of Trinity...ll°o,a! held their Anniversary
Meeting, and proceeded in
.barges to their Hall at
Deptford, when the Right Hon. WILLIAM PITT
was unanimously re-choNen'MAster for the ensuing
year; and after attending Divine Ser:Jice at the
Church di St. Nicholas, wl.erc an excellent Sermon
was preached by'the Rev. Dr. Coosas r, Minister
of Curzon Chapel, and Prebendary of CanterborYi
they returned to Dinner Ott the London Tavern,'
where were present many of the Nobility, Admi-
rals, and persons of distinaion.
Lord NELSON has certainly written home .to be
relieved from the command of the Baltic Fleet, on
account of his health, which, we are concerned to
learn, is a good deal impaired. He has suffered
mix)), too, from the loss of his late amiable brother,
to whom he was most particularly attached. •
