DANISH CLAIMS.—TIIC case of the Danish
claimants, it seems, is once more about to be brought before
Parliament, and it is to be hoped for the last time. It cannot
have been forgotten that these claims have been divided into
three classes, viz. —book debts, goods seized on shore, and ships
and cargoes taken in port and in the Baltic. The claimants of
the first class have been compensated by the Parliamentary grant
of last session, and Mr. Spring Rice has appropriated a sum•of
78,0001. in the miscellaneous estimates of this session to in-
demnify the second class; but he refuses relief to the third
class, on the plea that the seizures were 'yin conformity to
the practice and usage of war prevailing among the nations
of Europe." Eminent counsel have, however,, given it
as their opinion that the circumstances under which the losses
were sustained do not in any respect bear the construction at-
tempted to be given to them by the Treasury, but that, on the
contrary, all ordinary practice and usage were violated. An-
other plea, scarcely worth notice, is, that the granting of com-
pensation might form a dangerous precedent. Nothing can
be more evident, however, than that it is the duty of Govern-
ment, on the commencement of an aggressive war of their
own seeking, to provide, as far as in their power, for the
indemnity o their own subjects, who may be involved in
loss by such aggression, and there could not be a more
just or equitable precedent, than in such a case as this,
where the Government obtained large means, to grant the
compensation, more especially as it is well known that
the mere pecuniary loss in these cases was, as compared
with the book-debts, aggravated, in many instances, by the
parties having had to suffer severe imprisonment. To refuse
relief, therefore, would be the much more dangerous prece-
dent, as it would be that of a Government making a profit by
the retention of the proceeds of Danish private property at
the expense of innocent individuals. Mr. Spring Rice, with
a laudable regard, had he had anything like justice on his side,
for shillings, and pence, has fought sturdily every
inch puhoofnd
the ground in this affair of the Danish claimants, but
he must now be driven from his last bold—that is, if the other
branches of the question were decided upon any thing like
principle.— Times.

A Requisition has been transmitted to the Lord
Mayor, requesting his Lordship to convene a Court of Com-
mon Council, to consider the propriety of petitioning the
House of Commons to take the most efficacious means for
securing to the people of Ireland the advantages of local self-
government by the instrumentality of Municipal Corporations.
The Lord Mayor has, in compliance with this Requisition,
summoned a court for Tuesday next (to-morrow), at twelve
o clock,

TO THE INDEPENDENT ELECTORS OF THE

SOUTHERN DIVISION OF THE COUNTY OF ESSEX.

GENTLEMEN,
.4 FNCOURAGED by a numerous body of Elee-
tors, to become a Candidate for the honour of representing
you in Parliament, to supply the vacancy caused by the lamented
death of your late highly respected Member, Mr. Hall Dare, I
venture to declare my acceptance of so flattering an invitation.
I come forward only in the absence of some more worthy Candi-
date, for the sole purpose of affording an opportunity to the con-
stituency of declaring those sentiments which anima' e the ma-
jority of the electors, and upon which I confidently rely for our
ultimate success.

An equitable commutation of tithes, ecclesiastical and municipal
reforms, and a removal of those disabilities which still press upon
the Dissenters, shall have my most strenuous support. In pursuit
of these objects I shall be guided by principles of equal justice in
endeavouring to secure for the nation peace, economy, and useful re-
forms, and for individuals the inviolability of private property.
My opinions are known to be favourable to the support of the
Church pf England, in so far as that institution shall be rendered
and maintained an efficient means of supporting the Christian Re-
ligion in this land. In regard to agriculture, my property
and my connections are bound up in its interests ; my habits,
both of study and of action, have been much directed to its
welfare ; and it is for you, and not for myself, to estimate the value
of my opinions in connection therewith, as they are well known to
a large portion of the Constituency.
The short period which must elapse between this time and the
day of nomination must prevent my waiting personally upon every
elector ; but I hope to bz? able to present myself in every district pf
the division to state more fully my opinions.
I have the honour to be, Gentlemen,
Your obedient humble servant,
Upminster Hall, May 26, 1836. C. E. BRANFILL.
