ABERDEENSHIRE ELECTION.

ON Friday last came on at Aberdeen, the Elec-
tion of a Member to represent that County in the
ensuing Parliament—Candidates, the former Mem.
her, Mr. I? EILGUSON, or, Fitfour, and Major-Generdl
HAY, of the late 1 ogth Regiment. After the usull
preliminaries had been gone through, Mr. FERGUSON
proposed Mr. GORDON, of Cluny ; and General HAY,
Mr. RAMSAY, of Barra, as Preses. The former
was chosen, on a division 56 against 36; and this
has been generally cdtisidered as the previous ques-
tion, decisive of the the sentiments of the County. . On
the ptesent occasion, it seemed only to raise the hopes
of the Minority. Every point regarding the reaificaL
tion of the Roll of Freeholders was contested. To
some, the Oath of Abkiration ; to others, the Oath of
Trust, was tendered, on the part of General HAY
for Mr, FERGUSON, no such formalities were re,
quired. The Roll was at last adjusted:
Mr. RANtsAY of Barra proposed, and Mr. GAR.
bEN of Troup seconded, General HAY, as a fit and
proper perso to represent this independent County.
Sir ARCHIB LD GRANT, Barr. proposed, and Mr.
FALQUHARSO'N cif Haugton seconded, Mr. FER-
1,
GUSON.

The Preses then proceeded to call on every Free,.
holder on the Roll, according to seniority of enroll-
ment, for his vote; and at two o'clock on Saturday
morning declared the ntirnbers to be, for Mr. FE R.
ousoN 6z, for General HAY 41 ; majority for
Mt. FERGUSON 20. Nr. FER.Gtisot,r was imme-
diately declared and returned duly elected; under

Last night we heard that a subdivision of t!*.e
ditti which has daily escorted SirFßAicrc is Bu It OETT
to and from the Hustings, had,--ih the paroxysm
of their exultation, proceeded to the house of Mr.
MxixwAitr&o, eothrnitted every Species of excess,
and', by the violence of their behaviour, iendeted
the interposition of the military power indispen-
sible. To ascertain the truth or falsehood of a
rumour of so serious a nature; ‘Ve deentekit Diu
duty tO Make the Most Mimite inquiries On 'the
spcit. It is with extreme satisfaCtion tine are enabled
to side:. that the rumour, though not altogether un-
WaS greatly exaggerated. A party of the friends
of the
.t opterar Candidate, as he is ironically Called,
bet Ween eight arid iiiiie o'clock assembled in Rano-
versquate, before the, house of Mr. MAlNV.rAlutlb,
and exhibited the effiisions of those democratic sen ti-
Men ts Which they had naturally acquired under so eic-
cdlent a Patron as Sir PIANCiS BilitiErt. To
give an air of sefiottsness to their unjustifiable pro,
ciedings; and to proniote tumelt and disorder, one
of their own jacobinical Emissaries, by A feigned and
well-varhished tale to the Commanding Officer of a
party of the Cliards, pro Cured the attendance of a
Military Force. The worthy Magistrate, with that
discretion and prudence which uniformly charaCterises
him,i&nmediately suggested to the Officer On duty;how
very unnecessary his int6i.erence was upon such an
occasion ; adding, that the CiVil Power was more
than adequate to the suppression of the least indica-
tion to riot: This wise and tirried suggestion
was immediately attended to; and the Officer ordered
his party to retire; The Coristables then dispersed
the mob Withoiit the least diffictilty; and itstored
