The Dardanelles are now put in a very formidable

. A very.adVantageous cptumstance, for the Porte,
say some of the public Journals, is the declaration
which the Austrian Internunchio has made, that his

is very explicit, and shews that it is the policyof, the
House of Austria not to suffer any great Power what-
ever to make itself master ofibe Ottoman Provinces
in Europe.

over the River 'Elbe, near Artenburgh. Their tear
of a British Expedition is'unaba'ted, and as.great as

" A strong doubt is entertained here, that his

" There is no news from Constantinople, via
Vienna, but it is certain that the Russians are cont 7
pletely masters of the greatest Part (..f the Turkish
Provinces in Europe,, and only need a march of 45
leagues to reach the capital of the Otrornans.
" Intelligence of a great and decisive battle iri-
Prussia is expeEted every hour : the greatest pre-

•the Belligerent Powers,' in which he made au
offer of the mediation of lii3 Sovereign, and invited
their to a Congress, to be holden at any place
:a the circuit of the Austrian territory.

The Telegraph observes, that the interests of the
different States, though at present mere-complicated
than ever, still allow some hopes of Peace. It is in
the nature of things that confusion should ulti-
mately produce order. Russia, Whose Armies have
been driven from the Vistula to the Pregel, and are
Only proteded by the thaw abd the impassable na-
Lure of the ground, cannot but perceive that she will
ilizard every thing, should she wait till she is driven
rom that position, in consequence of the extraor-
dinary reinforcements which have been drawn from
i'rance. The ridiculous attempt upon Constanti-
nople will necessarily lower the English in the
4:stem of the Russians.

HANOVER, APRIL 23.—1 t is said that the war
`ontribution of 1,200,000 francs, imposed upon this
country, will be lowered one-halt.

Tor Lord COCHA A NZ
Mr. ELLIOT
Sir F. Buit.Drrr

Lcid tOCHRANi then came forward and expressed
his thanks to the Electors for placing him at the head
of the poll, thmigh supported by the influence of no
party. He again declared that he stood alone, and had
no connexion with any set of men, or with any of
the other Candidates. It might, perhaps, be thought
presumption in a person, in a great measure a stranger
to them, to offer himself ; however he pledged him-
self to them for the independence of his principles,
and this they had a right to exped. It was for him
to offer, and, if they did not like it, it was for them
to reje&. If they should be inclined, however, to
try him, he flattered himself they should not be dis-
appointed. With regard to the other Candidates he
had nothing to say. It was for the Eledors to decide
upon their merits.
His Lordship retired amidst shouts of applause ;
the good-humoured plainness, and apparent sinceri-
ty of his professions, completely gained the hearts of
.the populace.

Mr. JENNINGS then came forward on the part of
Sir F. Burdett, and observed, that if Sir Francis
himself could attend, there would net be a doubt
success; but he hoped that his friends would not suf-
fer his present situation to throw a damp on their ex-
ertions.. In returnin him they would serve their-
selves. His only ambitioni was to serve the people.
He began his public career like another Howard, by
visiting the prisoners and • administering relief and
consolation. People in high situations did not ge-
nerally like lsim, and the reason was, that they
knew he could not be bribed. -Sir Francis Burdett
wanted no Peerages-no Place-r-no Pension—his ob-
ject was to restore the Constitution to its purity, and
to promote the interests of the People. He con-
cluded by ehorting them to strain every' nerve to
secure his return.
Mr.E.t.bio'r endeavoured to address the crowd, but
the uproar was so loud and incessant that he could not
succeed, and, therefore, after a general assertion of
his independence, he retired.
Mr. Gthisows (no pull had been demanded for Mr.
Paull) then came forward and adverted to the invidi-
ous distinEtion that had been made between Mr. Paull
and Sir Francis—a dtstinction which Sir Francis dis-
apvroved. He stated that he had waited on Mr,
Paull, and we understood nitn to say, that his remon-
strances to induce him to become a Candidate had
not been ih vain, and therefore a requisition would
tomorrow be made to the High Bailiff, and Mr.
Paull would again bye their Candidate.

SOUTHWARK ELECTION.

FOURTH DAY.-THURSDAY, MAY 7.

At the close of the poll yesterday, the numbers
stood
For Sir T. Turto►t 1389
H. Thornton, Esq. -156 s
C. Calvert, Esq. ►4Zt

Mr.THORNTON then came forward and observed,
that on that day's poll he. had gained 44 upon the
majority. of too which he had over Mr. Calvert
yesterday. He had stated yesterday, that his wish I
was to be in a situation of safety ; in such a situa-
tion did he now stand, and he would rather be in a
place of safety than iu a post.of honour. He should
be content he carried his Election by a clear ma-
jority; while he was opposed by men who opened
Public-houses, and made the violation pf the laws
one part of their attack against him. He trusted,
that at the end of to-morrow's poll, he' should be
placedientirely beyond the reach of danger. In the
parish of St. George's he had that day lost twenty-
five. In that parish the other Candidates had hither-
to been most succeSSful.' But that success could not
continue muCh longer, as the popujation there would
be exhausted: He concluded with saying, if his
friends do peisevere in the same mode they pursued
tharday, he must he confident of the contest ter-
minating to his honour.
Sir THOMAS TURTON said, the kindness of the
gle6teirs had on that day placed him 468 at the head
of the poll over the lowest Candidate, and 324 over
Mr. lhornten. Mr. Thornton had stated, that
improper means bad been used to influence the
votes of Eleelors, by opening public houses to give
there refreshMents. Nov as he could not afford to
open houses for that purpose, he was sure he could
have obtained none of his votes in that way. On
the subjeat of giving refreshments, he must say
that he always thought the Treating Mt Went to
too great an extremity ; because, in his opinion,
rnen. who gave up a portion of their time, by corn-
ing to vote for a Candidate, were entitled to
some refreshments. There were places where
these things had been carried to a disgrace-
ful extent Where men were sUffered to indulge
to excess in intoxication and riot. But in the
'Borough Of Southwark, he was • happy to observe,
that no such thing ever happened ; and he thought
it but justice to say; there were no people in England
who- conduaed themselves at every EleCtion in a
more sober and orderly manner than. the Eleelors of
CIA ancient Corporatioif. Mr. Thornton had ob-
'served that heliked a place of safety, or the second
best place ; it_ was no doubt one on which he must
be glad to- remain, because he could not get a bet.:
ter place ; but, for his (mu part, he preferred the
posh df honour, because he thought it Was the best.
On this day, which was the 4th of the Poll, he had
More • votes than on the sth day's Poll at the last
Iletaion : therefore he had more reason to thank
his friends. While others had depended on the aid
of Ministerial influence, he had nothing, but the sup-
port
.of the EleClorS. It might be presumption in
him to ask for an increase of his majority to-mor-
row, but as it was the fashion for men who got a
great deal to wish for more—it might not be unrea-
sonable in him to ask for more.
Mr. CALVERT returned his sincere thanks to the
1421 independent ineti who had already given him,
their support. They did not vote through undue'in-
fluence, like many who voted for Mr. Thornton, and
the reason why he fell short of him on that day's
poll was, that this being a holiday at the Ink and
India-House, all the clerks, porters, Arid others be-
longing to these places, who resided in the Borough,
voted for his opponent. Even the people belonaing
to the Wet Docks were that day pent up, like
sheep in a' fold, and let out one by cue to cord

and vote for Mr. Twittzton.,.rliehad asked one man
belonging to the docks, ‘Vho, had been an old ser-
taut belonging
his father; to-vote for him, and this. man
said he was forced to Vci•ti for Mr. ThOrnton.—'.' My
opponeht expfessed a wish (said Mr. Calvert) that I
might go to Hull, and set up for that place ; it is
natural be should d'iso, 2-Or he must wish me any
where else except here." Mr. C. concluded with
denying the charge of his pining votes by bribery,
and opening public houses.

lamented death of Akleralarl RANKLY, a great num-
ber of Liverymen attended yesterday to poll fur the
