On Saturday morning last this Gentleman was
met at Mr. Alderman Daubeny's house, near Durd-
ham.Down, by a most respcaable addvery numerous
body of.Eleaors, his friends, to escort their favorite
Candidate into the City, and the cavalcade on the
occasion was such, as must. have been highly grati-
fying to him. -It consisted of nearly seventy car-
riages, besides a considerable number of Freemen
on horSeback and on foot, all decorated with blue
ribbons, as_were also the carriages and horses.
,'Mr. Bragge was
,seated jn a phaeton, drawn by
six horses, the postillions very handsomely dressed
in blue .silk jackets and helmets, and. was thus
ushered into the City and attended to the Council.

ceeded to the,Exchange, amidst the loudest accla-
mations of the multitude. He- there addressed the
Citizens in a. concise and manly speech, thanking
them for their past support, and declaring hirns.elf
again a Candidate for the high honour of represent-
ing them in Parliament, which was received with
such a.burst of •applause, as strongly indicated the
success which followed. Sir Frederick Morton
.41
Eden, -Bart. also on that day declared himself a
Candidate for the honor, but on the nomination of
Mr. by a very respeaable and numerous
body of Eleaors in the Whig Interest, who met
at the Assembly-room on Monday evening, the*
Right Worshipful the Mayor in the Chair, Sir
Frederick, in a very handsome, and liberal address,
declined a contest, and thus contributed to preserve
that most desirable objea, the peace of -the City ;
which, from the first moment the dissolution of the
last Parliament -was talked, of, had been the unani.
mows wish and desire of the Gintlemen of . the
White Lion Club, to cultivate, by every means in
their power.

a great number of his friends, prdeeeded to the
Hustings at Guildhall, when Mr. Alderman Dau_
bent nominated him as a Candidate, and Mr. Alder;
man Daniel seconded the nomination, which was
very warmly, received by the Eleaors present, and
no other Candidate being proposed, besides Mr.
Baillie, the Sheriffs called for a stew of hands, and
then declared the Hon. Charles Bragge and Evan
13aillie, Esq. to be duly eleded, upon which the
Hall was shaken, almost to its foundation, by the
tumult of applause.
On Wednesday morning both the .MembePs
were chaired as usual, through some of the prin.
cipal streets of the City, and a more numerous and
respeaable body of the- Eleaors never attended
sifeh a procession, than Mr. Bragge had the plea-
sure io observe enrolled under his colours on the
present occasion. Mr. Bragge and about 150 of
his friends,,,afterwards dined together, in the Great
Room at the White Lion, where Mr. Luce served
up a very excellent dinner, and a more joyous and
convivial meeting was never witnessed. Its re.
spa:lability will bebes't shewn by naming smite of
the characters of which it was composed, viz.
The Most Noble the Marquis of Worcester, the
Right Hon. Lord de Clifford, Lord Edward Somer-
set ; Mr. Sheriff Vaughan, Mr. Alderman Daubeny;

-Among the numerous loyal and constitutional
1 toasts which were drank after dinner, were the.fol_
lowing, each with three times three cheers, except
that of Mr. Pitt, which was followed by three times
three-thrice- repeated, and such a tumult -of appro-
bation as cannot fail to be gratifying even to that
great Statesman, should he hear of it. To evince
still further the high sense this meeting entertained
of the past services of this Patriot Minister, on. a
motion being made for a public dinner in honour of
,hiin, every MeMber instantly subscribed his name
to attend it, and a Committee was chosen to fix On
the day, and to superintend and conduit the business
