DURHAM COUNTY ELECTION.

THE following Letter has been received by JOHN
H LLO-C Esq. Chairman of the Committee at
(ray's Inn Coffee-house, London, tiotn ROW LAN D BUR_
DON, Esq. dated Castle. Eden, May 7, tBO7.

DEAR SIR
IhAve this ljay received the printed Resolutions of a Meet-
ing of Freeholders Of: the Counry of Unrhain,' held at the
Cray's Inn Cotfee-house, of winch you were the Chairman.
So great an honour, conferred by independent men upon a
person under my circumstances, baffles entirely my power
of making any adequate "acknowledgment. I hope the judg-
ment of tne Meeting has not mistaken its objed, as far as my
heart is concerned, in feeling the utmost reverence and love
to our good and the steady attachment to the Consti.
tution, and to the interest of this County. My means, I fear,
are little ;,,ialuare to support the splendour at the situation
of the Repiesentatiye of a great ;Jed opulent County ; but
I am, and I hope always shall• be, ready to, waive, every.
private'conSideration when called 'upon to perform a pub-
lic and pi+raniourit duty. If the County feel anxious to
express their approbation of I lis aj.sty's paternal care for
the general welfare and tranquility cis his Doinrinons, ill the
rtnuess with which he
.haa wirnstood the 'Councils of his
late Administration, by a ctmige in thefir Represent,tiVes, 1
shall most readily come`for ward to carry their sen>e tutu Par-
liament, and to watch over their Interests with ail the at.
untion I can bestow. I really wish the County had it in
their power to find a person more happy in his circumstances,
and equally intent upon serving his Country.
I remain, dear Sir, with truth anLiregard,
Your qhliged and obedient liumule Servant,
To I ohn Bullock, Esq. K. I.sU HAM N.

THE Prussian Government have at length publish-
erten Official Account of the Battle of Auerstadt,
which we have thought right to 14' before our
Readers. It appears that several very strange, and
inieed, very unaccountable mistake's led to a defeat
which has produced such disastrous events.

No intelligence whatever arrived from the Con-
tinent this morning : the next Dispatches from
Lord Hu7CHINSON, it is supposed, will be of
considerable importance. Our Allies are not
only acquainted with the change which has taken
place in this Country, but of the disposition of
the new Ministers to make a vigbrous effort in the-
Common Cause ; and whether the War is to'be pro-
secuted, or whether a Negotiation is to take place,
the Allied Powers will now proceed with the most
perfeet harmony.

Yesterday his MAJESTY, the Duke of CAMBRIDGE,
and the PRINCESsES, took an airing on horseback in
Windior Park.

The 2d Regiment of Surrey Militia marched
through London yesterday morning, ou their route
for Chatham.

On Saturday -a confirmation took place at ken-
sington Church, of the youth of both sexes of that
and four adjoining parishes, by the ,Bishop of HERE*
FORD, who officiated for the Bishop of LONDON. •
Earl PERCY certainly opposes Lord HOWICK for
the County of Northutnbertand, and' it is supposed
the latter will.decline the contest, having no chance
of success.

The Elder Brethren of the Trinity House have
electtd his Grace the Duke of PORTLAND their Alas-
ler, in the place of Earl SPENCER.

From the active and zealous exertions that are
making ►n the County of Durham to procure again
the Parliatnestary services of Mr. BURDON, no doubt
can be entertained of his tleetion. It is exixacd
th:st. Sir RALPH MILBANKE will be next upon the
pall, if Sir THOMAS LIDDRLL, the other Candidate,
should continue the contest.

The Officers and Crew of the Caroline Frigate
Litely saved the European Settlers at Malacca :—a
conspiracy had been formed to seize the Officers,
and assassinate the Centinels at their posts ; the night
wiks fixed for the execution of the plan, when, tor-
tpnately, the Caroline entered the roads. One of
the conspirators, alarmed at the circumstance, com-
municated this projed—and a party of seamen and
marines being landed, several of the ring-leaders
'Were arrested ; others effeeted their escape, but large
evvards have been offered for their ,apprehension.
