Service of dick' Country, and hnaer that considera-
tiOn,- -he saw the name; of Sir GF.ORGE RODNEY
and Lord Hoot) appear in 'the list of their Repre-
seniatiVe§ ; but c these, he would • observe, when
their' King and Country- called upon them, were
never to be 'found in Westminster,' but attending
their duty 'on board the. Fleet. For his own•parr,
he was not accustomed 'to speak much in public : he,
would not take up their time by making professions,
only' toassure them, that- if they did him' the honoui.
to return him, he wciuld, to the 'utmost of his
power, endeavour to serve them -with hondur, in-
tegrity, and fidelity. He hoped, on account of
the return of Peace, he should have an opportunity
of discharging his duty-in Parliament more regu'arly
than hitherto: ,It was his intention, 'since his re.;
turn from- Ireland, to pay his personal respeas to
A great number of the Ele&ors ; but -a recent mis-
fortune happening, he was prevented- from so at-
tending, and which, he trusted, would be received
as an adequate excuse.
Mr. Git.A.HAnt then came forward, and informed,
his auditory-, if they conferred the high 'honour On
him, of ele&ing him a representative fir Westmin:.
ster, words could not express .his feelings; but his
future life should speak his gratitude' (a laugk).
He quoted the nervous language 'of Mr. Stt ERIDAN,
to slim the insufficiency of words upon some occaL
lions; " but," observed Mr. GRAHAM: " words
were never so little wanting as upon the present
Occasion.” (mire laughing.) He had placed 'a
sacred paper near his heart, - which he intended
shortly to read, -and though he saw the friends of
the other CandidateS were at that moment numerous
within the Hustings, he would sternly, avow his de-
termination to persist ; no consideration should`
keep him beck. He then produced the paper, from
which he read to the following effect "If he were:
chosen, he 'would constantly attend his duty in Par-
liament—his Constituents 'should, at all times have
free access to .(a • laugh)=lie would obey 'their
instructions tie would not 'accept of any place,
pension, cir preferment--he would vote for a Par-
liamentary Reform—and, whenever it may be de-
sired, he would restore back the sacred charge with
which he was intrusted, witness my hand and seal.
(lord lase' bing.) No threats, he continued, should
intimidate him—he was as long a time in business,
as 'some of those who spoke were in Parliament—.
it was in the power of no man to impeach his
charaler as a man of business—it was no disgrace
to send a man of business to Parliauent.- He had.
been a pupil to the worthy Alderman SKINNER,
who arose to the highest honour by- his personal,.
merits alone. He saw no reason, therefore, why,
he should not represent the City in -which he had
the honour to be born. He reposed the fullest coil_'
4dence in the le6tors, and trusted they would per.
severe in hii favour."

.The usual proclamation was, then; made,rspea,
ing the Candidates, and a shew of hands. or-
dered.—That; for Mr. Foxe was nearly general.—
For Lord GARDNE R WAS nearly, but.not quite so
many.--And for Mr. GRAHAM', the hands did not
appear to us to be more than a dozen...
A Poll was then formally demanded by Mr.
GRAHAM.

Mr. PRAIXAM soon after took occasion •to re-
mark, it was unjustly charged upon him, that he
wished to interrupt the .peace of Westminster,
and he therefore agreed (as we could hear) to a
proposition, that the Poll should close on. Saturday ;
---and in answer to some observations which were
made by some gentlemen near him on the subjed
of qualification, he said, that' he possessed .more
than double what was necessary.

Mr. O'BRIEN felt it necessary, shortly to ad_
dress the Assembly, and said, it could not escape
their observation that Mr. GRAHAM demanded the
votes of the Electors in direct opposition to Mr.
Fox.

The Court was shortly after adjourned for an
hour, in order to prepare places for receiving the
votes, &c. after which the poll commenced.

~ . .
At four o'clock the books were closed for the
day, and upon the nuttbers being reckoned up they
appeared as follow: .
For the Hon. C, J. Fox - i 43
Lord GARDN'ER, ... 127
Mr. GRAHANt . - 40

Mr. Fox said, .that he had to announce the num-
bers on the Poll. He _had eXpetted, that upon the
present occasion they would not have been troubled
with an opposition. Of the. Candidate he could
say nothing, for he did not know him, but it ap-
peared to him that he ,was pursuing an objet} which
would only. create trouble and expence, without
any prospea of attaining it. For himself, his
principles were known to the Electors of West-
minster, and he entreated those who wished him
well, to come forward with their prompt and ac-
tive support, which would the sooner put an end
to this contest-, and-send him triumphantly to Par-
liament. It was not the approbation and support
of the EledOrs of Westminster, but the People at
large that he was anxious to please. The cause of
the People he.would,ever support upon every occa-
sion.' He thanked the Eleetors for their support,
and concluded by entreating their further exer-
tions.

' Lord GAR DNER' said, that Mr. Fox had announced
the 'riumbers on-the Poll. For his own part, he was
satisfied, and hoped that his friends would continue
their exertions in his favour while the Poll was kept
open.

Mr, GRAHM4 9bserve4, that. he did expe& to
.have,polled more, He was in a great minority to
day, hut .he.hoped he 4 would have a great majority
to-moirow...
