LONDON, JULY zz, iSoz.

WE this morning received Paris journals of the
18th inst. They contain nothing interesting or
important, with the exception of an article from
Frankfort, of the rt th inst. which states that a
Treaty of Alliance had been signed at Paris be-
tween France and Prussia, by M. TALLEYEAND
and the Marquis of Luc CHESINI• This, however,

requires confirmation.
The French Funds on the 17th were at 53.
This morning a :Dutch Mail arrived, the contents
of which will be found under the proper head.

THouon we hale every reason to congratulate
the Country upon the general issue of the Elections,
as far as they have gone, as being highly favour-
able to the cause of Loyalty and the Constitution,
yet we cannot but feel the most serious Alarm at the
Excesses in which, in se vetal places, the Populace
have been permitted to indulge. These Excesses
seem to us to prove, not only that the Mob are
more than heretofore inflamed with ideas of Jacobin
Plunder and Anarchy, but that there has been, on
the part of some, whose business it was, from their
official situation, to curb such.licentious and outra-
geous proceedings, a disposition to encourage and
promote them. In more than one instance the Ja-
' cob.ns have thus procured the return of their Can-
didate by means calculated to prevent the free ex-

ercise of the Elelivc Franchise. Where such pro

c..e(lings have been permitted, we trust that the
House of Commons will not only annul the Eleftion,
but that tie Law v ill exert its pow er, and punish
most exemplarily the men,entrusted with Magisterial
A . :.critv, who thirst venture to abuse it in man_
net at once so profligate, and so dangerous to the

best interests of the Country. An example of
Disfranchisement would do credit to the energy
and justice of the Legislature, and would, we doubt
nor, have a very salutary are& in future Eleaions.
We could point to the Borough that has earned
such astigma, by the proceedings which have been
permitted to take place in it ; but as the subka
will probably come regularly before the Public soon
after the Meeting of Parliament, we shall drop it
for the present.

We understand Lord Wittrwolurx will not leave
this Country for Pari3 until the middle of Septem-
ber : the reason we believe for this delay is, that
the French AmbasAdor, General ANDR Floss', can-
not be received here until HIS MAJESTY'S return
from Weymouth.
The MIKE of SWstx arrived at Lisbon from Gi-
braltar, on the zzd ult.

On Tuesday Lord and Lady CHr LEvtLLE left
town for Buxton.
General the Earl of Ross last week arrived in
Ireland. He went by the way of Portpitrick.
Yesterday a Court of Directors was held at the
East India House, which adjourned at five o'clock
till Wednesday next.
The Bank of Ireland have rather a long lease of
the Parliament House of Dublin, which they are
going to convert into a Bank, The lease has 8927
years to run.

A Letter just received overland from Bombay,
says, " The Princes who visited Marquis WEL-
LESLEY at Benares, were the. Prince MIRZA KHo-
RUM, MIRZA SEGOOFTUH BUKHT (commonly called
MIRZA HADJEE), and MIRZA ALIA KHUDPER,
all sons of the late Prince MIRZA itrwAut; BUKHT,
and grandsons (ASH AH ALLUM, the present King of
DELHI. Their Royai Highnesses were severally
saluted by the whole of the Troops of the station, and
those forming the Governor General's escort, and
received a royal salute. After which the Governor
General visited her Highness the KUTLUCK SUL-
TAUNA BEGUM, the widow oldie late Prince MIR -
z A JUWAUN BUKHT. On the 29th of November
the Marquis left Benares, and proceeded to Ramna-
gur, the residence of the Rajah of Benares : on the
3d of Decembet, he arrived at Mirzapoot, and pro-
ceeded on the 7th to Allahabad. The Marquis was
at Lucknow on the 6th of February."

Dispatches received from Guadaloupe by General
JoHNSTON, at Dominica, state, that the Blacks who
resisted the troops from France, are nearly de-
stroyed; their Chief, on being hard pressed by the
forces, shot himself, and about 500 of his followers
were put to death ; the rest have dispersed, but are
closely pursued. The Island of Guadaloupe is
nearly destroyed, the greater part of the estates
being burnt down, and a number of properties in
Grand-Terre are also burnt.

The number of Opposition Ex-Members increases
every day. To the names of ROBSON, JONES,
DENNISON, WIGLEY, TAYLOR, PHILIPS, STURT,
WILSON, LANGSTON, NICHOLLS, BIRD, &C. we

hope soon to add those of BURDETT and BIDDULPH.
Contested EleElions are as little favourable to the
principles, as they are to the
_Naas of these Gen-

lemen.

The state of the Poll for the County of Hereford
on Tuesday evening the zoth inst. was, for Sir
GEORGE CORNEW ALL 2592; COIOIICICOTTERELL
2049 ; Mr. Blopyr.Pll 1176 ; which leaves a ma-
jority of 1416 for Sir GEo. CORNEWALL, and 873
for Colonel COTTEREL L. The unsuccessful Candi-
date has declared, that 4 less majority was decisive
against his hopes of success ; but from some molt= e,
best known to the Party, the Poll is still continu.d
yet a greater number of votes having been polled
this EleEtion than at any previous one, it is not
likely to last more than another day.

The City of Coventry has, by its zeal, spirit,
and independence at the late EleCtion, done itself
the greatest honour ;—the Votes being taken by
Tallies, and the proper Officers attending with the
Parish Books, and Registers of Enrolement, the
ElcElion was in itself the severest scrutiny. The con.
tending Candidates were left fairly to the trial of their
own strength, as Government most positively refused
to interfere, in the smallest degree, for either party.
The Eleaion is highly creditable to the Members
returned, each of them having received support for
services done to the tow -e—Mr. JEFfERyS, by his
constant attention in Parliament to the interests of
his Constituents, independent of the local parties in
the place, has received the support of those who op.
posed him at the former Eleaion ; and Captain
BARLow, a stranger in the place, was (from his
spirited offer to become a Candidate with Mr. JEF-
FERYS, when every Gentleman proposed as a Can-
didate, was frightened away by the riotous proceed-
ing of BIRD and MOORE'S mobs), received with
enthusiasm. This is as it should be, and Coventry
will no more be mentioned with the stigmas and re-
fleetions that have for so many years been attached
to its name.
This day the Chairing cf the successful Candidates
for Coventry was to take place in
.a grand and
shewy style.—All the Public Companies, and the
Mayor and Corporation, with Streamers made for
the occasion, and Bands of Music, &c. were to
walk in procession, and likewise many Gentlemen
of the town and neighbourhood.
We hear that WILWERFORCE BIRD and PETER
MooRE mean to
.)etition against the return at
Coventry. JOHN FRosr means to do the same for
East Grinstead, and we have no doubt with equal
success.
Mr. BAKER'S Address to the Freeholders of the
County of Hertford, is' a manly and spirited per-
formance. Though' we have differed in political
opinions upon many occasions with this Gentleman,
we have ever considered him to be one of the most
independent, and one of the best Members of the
House of Commons. A few of the great families of
the County, uniting with the Interest of the Dis-
senters, have thrown him out. We wish the Lamb
who has succeeded, may discharge his duty as punc-
tually, as, faithfully, and as conscientiously as his
Predecessor.
