/ ELECTION OF G ER AL iII'ILLIAMS 4S
I.EI-)BLSEIVTA7'II7 E OF ()ALIVE.

CALNE, WEDNESDAY,
The election of a member to supply the va,care
caused in the representation of Caine, consequent upa
the elevation of the Earl of Shelburne t) the House E
Peers, tottle place at noon today, when " the Hero d
Kars" was returned without opposition.
if The gallant officer had been staying at Bowood (the
seat of the Marquis of Lansdowne) for several days pre-
viously, and was escorted into the town this morning by
an immense concourse of horsemen and pedestrians.
araidst the flaunting of banners and the playing of music.
The nomination took place in the Town Hall, at 12
o'clock, when the gallant general was proposed by Wm.
W ayte, Esq., of the Highlands ; and seconded by Bing
Ba ily, EQq.
I n acknowledging the honour which the burgesses of
Celine had conferred upon him,
General Williams said—l beg to return you my most
sincere and hearty thanks for the honour you have just
do tee me in electing; me to represent this borough in Par-
lie merit. My thanks and gratitude are also due to yoU
for' the kind and friendly reception you have given me,
ant i for the• manner in which I have been treated since
the first moment I entered your town. I hope, by the
are course which I shall pursue, to merit the high
dis, ;inction which you have given me ; and if I obtain
fro; n you only a portion of that consideration in which I
km ow you held your former representative, there will be
no regret on the side of either of us at your having sent
me to parliament. The object I have in presenting my
self before you is untingect by anything like selfish mo.
tive or personal ambition. My real motive in coming
for ward is to endeavour to serve you and to serve the
country in this her present state of transition from war
to peace, by advocating the preservation of those mili-
tary institutions which coat us so much blood and so
much mortification to re-establish after the commence-
ment of the late war. I therefore hope yon will
consider that I do my duty if I pursue that course--
if I try to protect those institutions which will pro-
tect you from future invaders, end make the name
of England respected throughout the nations of the
world. As it is with individuals so it is with na-
tions ; no nation, however great in other respects,
can with safety stand in close proximity with other
nations armed to the teeth, unless provided with
similar means of defence, and I am therefore
quite sure that what I say will hold good, vizo
that we should watch zealously over our military institti.
tens. No pens sn would think of going, unarmed, with
his pockets full of gold among men whom he knew to be
jealous of his personal character, and covetous of his
wealth, and I am satisfied you will agree with what I said
when I landed at Dover, aid what I have since repeated
—that we should be careful; above all things, to keep
out selves in a position to preserve that wealth which the
iedustry of ages 11,.a collected in this country. Since the
time of William the Coequeror—and he came to. this
country having some pretensions to the throne—nu con-
queror lam ever sat h:s foot upon our soil, and if we would
c mtinue to be able to make this proud boast, we must
net neglect our military resources. The gallant general
said, another object which made him anxious to enter
Parliament was, that it might enable him to render some
service to a country for which we bad spent so much
treasure, and spilt so much blood—he meant Turkey,
which he was convinced possessed great vitality ; and be
was sure it was the i itet.tion of her Majesty's Ministers
to do everything they could fir Turkey, in conjunction
with our gallant allies the French ; and if those whom
he then addressed could only have seen the heroism dis-
played by the Turks, who had stood by him in the hour
of danger, they would agree that they were worthy of
all their esteem and sympathy.
At the conclusion of his address the gallant general
was again warmly applauded,
He left Caine soon after hilt election to dine with the
Lord Mayor of London, by special invitation.
