• WOR CESTRE ELECTION.--The 'EleEtion for this
'City would, it was generally supposed, have pro-.
, duced a warm contest. Had not Mr. .ATTERSOLT.
declined the preceding evening, the struggle must
have been between that Gentleman and Mr. Ro-
Batyrs. Mr. GORDON'S popularity was. irresistible. :
the number of his friends and supporters. had, Once
the Election,- increased beyond all expe6tation;and,
the
.power and influence of the CorporatioS, were
completely destroyed. When his name ':Wbs de-
clared from ,the Hustings, -it was received Wit;hterii-
versal and enthusiastic cheers; and his admitable
Speech contributed, in a very material degree, to
the triumph of genuine independence. The spirit
and exertions. of the Eleants have finally succeeded
in rescuing the City from the slightest imputation ,of •
venality, and Woreester is now allowed to possess
as substantial claims to the free exercise of.i-be elec-.
tive- franchise as any city or town in the United
Kingdom..
The following appointments have taken place in
the Irish Government : Lords OThicz.-and,Cpo.:

*as of meeting any opposition on our lauding, the.
Transports were, called in, and we all nzlehor'ed off
the, western haibouir. A:summons was -itnniti‘,;iate-!

Deily of every indiLidual but,coutrary to our ex-
pecclations, the Officers who had been sent with the
summons, returned the niorning with a ;,,e-
-cl4ration from the Governor, that he would dei,k,d
the place to the last extremity
As our intentions were now known to the gne!r,y,
every delay on our part' would haye afLrdi,.;(l the:n
an opportunity of strengthening their Pojiiwn.,--
The:General, therefore, qeterthined on landing ;zit-

mediately with the force he had with him, ant on
the evening of the 17th between six and seven. hun-
dred troops, with five field .pieces, and, fifty-six se4-
inen, tinder 'Lunt: Boxer, ,were put 'cm- shore near
the'Ravinet from Lake•Mariotis to the sea,
opposition Ill:eft-mu the heavy surf which got 'up
duringthe night, it was too late in the afternoon of
thefollowing.day,before the remainder could be
on shore. .As soon as the whole were colleaed and
formed, they moved forward and attacked thesne-,
my's advanced works, which were tarried with little
loss. And as wp.had been Informed that a number
of Albanians were expetled from Rosetta and Cairo,
to reinforcethe garrison, the army took up:a posi,-
tiOn to the:eastward of. Alexandria, `otcupying the
Cut on -the canal, 'by which all communication was
cut off between. Alexandria and Rosemt. •
On the 19th the (Apollo and remainder of the
Convoy appeared in the offing, and 'having joined,.
she proceeded with all the TratispOrts to -Aboukir
Bay, where they began .on the 2iilli to , land their
troops (the castle of .
Abonkirhaving oeen previously
occupied by us preVious to their 'anchoring). :The
appearance, of such a, reinforcement induced the
Governor, to offer terms ,rof,ciipitni,ation,similar to -
those which we. at fist proposeid ; which were a::-
cepted on,the nth., in the afternoon, and posseSsiou
taken of the 'heights of Catfarillio 'and Cro4n,
two O'clock on the morning of the st.
As the General, did me the honour to express a
I.ViShthai I should remain on shore. Own ' the time
of our first .disern'earkatiOn, I left the Tig..-e in Char.-:.,
of Mr.. Fowell, _Firtit • Lieutenant, and to him and

and Transports, I feel much ialebtea lot their
tions;• which. was a most arduous seryic2, tm-73
great distance'thq.ihad.to row, andlhe heavy surf'
they had to encounter on the beach.
As tb Genef-al dieted all the rnoeinents of tlic
'army in ptit4on, it does not become _the to
into any farther details ; 1 shall only observe, that
the, utmost harmony 'prevailed during the whole of
