TUE3DAY, OCTOBER 13, 1812.

We heartily congratulate the City of London

on the event of the Electioh yesterday, by which
the supporters of Jacobinicat principles were de-
feated in their attempt; to obtrudel 'two of their
favourite Puliticau<<s cn the representation of the
capital of the world. We shall never be afraid or
ashamed of using the word Jacoaiiiica/, how-
ever. it may be ridiculed in the columns of
the Opposition Paper, because we conceive
that it is full as characteristic of certain RdOrthers
in Church and State now, as it was during the
borrible.excesses of the French Revolution. Nay,
we Might nowt consider the term as rco•e applicable,
for many of the French zealots were intoxicated
and bewildered by false notions of liberty, and

some- of them have lived to look with sincere re-
morse on the parts Which theracted. But, the
ef or nters of this country have seen the deplora-
ble tendency of those false notions of liberty,
and yet continue to maintain the principles on
-which they were founded. Therefore, we repeat
our congratulations, that theJacobinicolpoliticians
have
.been defeated in their endeavours to ob-
trudeon the City of London men wlio,.;in spite
of experience, and impelled by
.vanity, ambition, 'or
zsenSeless desire of vulgar popularity, still uphold
those destructive principles. We will not yuffer our
satisfaction on the event of yeste-rday to he clouded
by a consideration of the numbers who appeared in
support of the advocates for the ruinous principles.
to which we alluded, because in so large a body as
the Livery of London it' must be expected that
many will be weak and easily misled, many, cor-
rupt and desperate, and, many heated by the influ-
ence of those doctrines which hold forth qua-
lity anql a cOntempt, of their superiors. The
great body of citizens hate proved their
taohment to the
.Constitution, by their Choice
of representatives.. Neither will we declare any
objection to any one of ' the persons chOsen; be-
cause three of•them are men whose characters we
hold' in particular esteem, and because the fourth,
though a staunch opponent of measures which we
have always supported, and of principles which we
shall always maintain, ought not to be confounded
with those who have been rei-f,;ted. Not that
we fear that the persons whom we- allude to would
have been of any consequence i u Parliament, whe:re
they most probably wouldrhave sunk into silent
insignificance, but because we • should have been
mortified indeed in seeing such men exalted into
a place in the Great Council of the Nation. We
may judge of the taste,-the delicacy, the wit, and
the judgment of one of the rejeettd, 'Candidates,
who indulged hithself, in order to' gratify the
lowest of the mob, with despicable comments

upon the " swords and bags" of the Aldermen who
were the other Candidates. in these pitiful
taunts move is Meant than—mee;is the ear."
The " swurd and bag— are indications bf • official
authority, andtkat is hatetal-in the eyes of modern
patriots. 13ut we shall leave the dkappninted
_to
veatt their spleen, and -rejoice with our countrymen
in. general that the City of London has set a noble
example; by chasing men. who arc attached to the
Constitution, a In.l who; one andall, we trust, v. ill

z..qipport that cimititution,however they may occa-
.
sionally differ in opinion, and. wuo will make the
interests and honour of the, =pill: the. great ob-
jects:of their political cOnduct..:

,Some ininor:Varis Paper to the 6th instant
reached town last night. Au article in one of
them states the receipt of private letters from Mos-
coW of the 18th ult. mentioningAluit. one-third of
the city had escaped tile.ilames, and, that provi-
sions u.nd'StOres were daily found. These circum-
stances, however, if they really existed, would
-an:t.thtless_ have. found a place in the 20th Bul-

letiu.
Privatz advices from the coast of :Prance to the
Bth state, that nothing frdm.the rortit had trans-
pired subsequent to the :ditte- of the Bulletin. At
Ostend, and in the 4jacent:towns and country,
the_new conscription was carried into execution
with tlie: greatest severity,:.and caused a general
(.111atisfaction.

umkritand that Ministers have at length de-
termined to issue letters of nrarque and reprisal
against the United States of America, aad that the
Proclamation'to that effect will appear in the Ga-
zette, of this- evening.

It was again reported to-day that an armistice
had been agreed. upon in Russia,. but NYC could not
trace the rumour to any authority. .
