GENTLEMEN,.
dee:Dly sensible riLthe Honiout ''which has
I. beep conlerrel upon .me by many of the most respectable
Ntrnbers bf your Body, in inviting me to become a Candidate
to.represent your borough 'in Parliament, -and in comitienc-
ii4:, without my knowiedge, an active and very promising
'Canvass in my behalf.'

This invitatioh is the more grateful to
.rnP, because you
gxpressly intend it as all additional testimony of the high
sense which you entertain of my Father's Charaker and Ser.:
vices ;'you will, however, I doubt not,' give me credit for
motives which cannot retied the least clisres pet-I
on the Gen.,
lemeh who have signed the Resolutions in my favour, and
'win pardon the proper feelings.of a Snn, if on this'occasiOn I
exptess tnydetertnioation to decline the offer with which you
ItiVe honoured mc..

'• Them are sonic customs' prevalent at' ElediOns in Hull
which, however sandioned by time, and in some degree by
the pradice of those far Whose attachment to the spirit of the
Constitution I have the highest reaped, and by whom a re_
formation in these points has 'open in vain attempted, would
alone be sufficient to deter me from entering Parliament on
the condition of complying with them.
I haVe also before •my eyes a recent and memorable ex-
ample of the etfees which those customs prodUce ; since.
neither integrity, nor experieitte,, for talents, .nor assiduous
attention to your interests, though repeatedly and publicly
acknowledged by the truly respectadable part of your Body, •
Jiave been able to insure to your former Representative the
layour of that numerous class of burgesses on whose Votes •
pie success of an Eledion chiefly depends.
Should the time ever arrive when I may, be able to throw
Invself whit confidence on your unbiassed Suffrages, I should
c.teein it indeed a high and enviable distindion to represent a
Borough of the first Commercial Importance, with which
my family has been for many generations intimately con-
neded, and in whichit can' still boast of many firm and va-
luable Friends. • • •

FROM TilE PUTC.I.7 PAPERS.

PARIs, Ara t,L. .20,—The Official Journal contains
the Decree adopted‘in the meeting- of the Senate; on
. . ,
the 7th, pursuant to tne Emperor's Mes Sage, for
calling out , 80,0000 Conscripts. of the year 1808.
It also 'contains ari•Address by the Senate to his Ma-
jesty on the Message ; to which is subjoined an
Imperial Decree,' dated fromthe head-quartets at.
Finckenstein, on the Bth inst. direaing the mode of
levying the conscription •in the different depart_
ments. The date, of this Decree shews, that no,
event of importance had occurred befOre that time.
This is farther evident from a letter received last
Sunday from the advanced posts, of the army, in
which the writer says—" For a month past we have
been face to face with the enemy, and yet !rave re-
mained in perfe6t inaQivity. The. army is, if! good
health. Our soldiers suffered for-a time from. a dy-
senter, which repose and wholesome food has now
completely removed. Our braVe men are 'daily re.
turning from the 'Hospitals. Our battalions increase
in numbers ; and, as 'soon as the roads
_are pass-
able, nothing will be able to impede the flight of
our vielorious eagles. Contagious fevers 'prevail
among the Russian troops. These diseases are OC-:
casioned by their. remarkable negle6t of •cleanliness.
They have missed their objeEt. They smiled at the
disasters of the 'Prussian's,, not imagining that we
should so soon come upon them. But since they
have found us opposed to then-1,. they have becotbe
convinced of the impossibility of sending any as-
sistance to MICHELSON,Abe litlsStßllCOlTllilarlder ill
Wallachia, and the energy which the Turks display
is' ikely to afford them. some employment in that
quarter."—The 5 per Cents. are 72 : and .7.5 ; the

dated the Banks of the Danube, April 21.', it is stated
that the Russians had attempted .a ilescent on the
Island of Candia, but that they were driven, back,
with considerable loss. Mentiotris also made of a
misunderstanding said ,:to have •.arisen among the
principal Officers. of " t he Engljsh.Fleet in the Archi-
pelago, and. in particular , between, ,Admiral
wo4TH and the •Rear-Admirals Sir SIDNEY SMITH
and tows. :The twa latter, it is said, have formally
accused the ,Commander in Chief to their Govern-
ment, charging him with ',having dishonoured the
British'name before Constantinople, and by his in-
considerate conclud provoked a rupture with the
Porte. High. words have also passed between the •
Admiral and the 13r4ish Ambassador ARBUTHNOT.

sustained ruuq have been more considerable than
was- at first rinaguted. On the 4tn one of the
largest of the Eligkish Ships of the Line sunk off
Tehedos; which makes their loss, in -consequence
of this enterpriSe, amount to fo4r Ships. But
there are other reasons, besides ,the los." the ere-

turn. The north 'wind still blows strong-ly, and
completely closes the passage of the •parclarielles.
—7our Government has Made great e-xertions in
strengthening the works. Three bnildred pieces of.
cannon have' been sent.from the. arsenals, and the
necessary furnaces are prepared for firing red-hot
balls. Not a single order- is given to the. army or
pavy of which the Freticb Atribassador SEBAsTrANI is
not informed. Fie confers every day several hours
'with our :Ministers, ancliis constantly sending off
,Couriers or receiving dispatches from Warsaw.
We every moment eneft to hear of advantages be-
ing obtained brour troops in the Crirnea, or at least
that the Russian army of reserve, under the DUke'
of RICIIELIEM will be stopped and obliged to .march
to WalWhia, should the I?...ussians soon find theru7
selves attacked by a powerfuf force in that quarter.
The '4atii: troops, which to the nurnber Of g,poo,
had arrived near Constantinople, have,' wit .tin the
last 'fUrtnight, been marched to the Danube. It is
believed the Enemy 'Will next attempt to excite an
insurrection among the Greek -inhabitants of the
Continent, or 'to take possession of- some she
Islands in the Archipelago. The latter will dbubt,
less.be the object, of the English, who have always
wished to 'strengthen theinselves in' the Mediter-
ranean.

FINCKRNTEIN, Aram W.—Every...preparation is
made for opening il;e' Campaign. .the Emperof
has lately reviewed the whale of the Grand Afrny,
which is now divided into three principal corps;
with which all the others communicate.' Wee
peat to resume our military operations on the first
appearance of spring weather, in case the Russians
do not consent to the propositions which 'have been'.
made. We are all ready. The artillery: present
a formidable front, and the zeal and confidence of
the troops exceed all description. A. signal f'orn the
Emperor is all that is wanted. The Turkish and

have had solemn-audiences _of his Majctsty.

ing the sequestration of the English merchandiie;
and for freedom of trade, was stipulated. Accord-,,
ing to letters from Warsaw,(•fifteen thousatid men.'

as an advantageoUs circumstance 'for the Porte, that
the Austrian Envoy, in a conciliatory Note, ad-
dreised to the Reis Effendi, has declared that his
rup
ferial Court will maintain a stria neutrality.
The French Amb4ssador, SEZAST/ANI, has also no-
tified to the Porte, that the Cowl of --Vier.tla--- has
granted the French. Army of Italy a free passage
