CITY ELECTION.
When the numbers were declared, Alderman GARRAtt -ciao
forward, and amidst loud clamours announced his intention
of withdrawing from the contest altogether. ik declared that that
had been understood as a pledge, which was mere matter of con-
versation bet Ween himself and the Lord Mayor. He certainly then
stated that it was not his intention to offer himself as a candi-
date, nor had he; but if he was_ealled upon by his fellow-
eitirtns, he would have obeyed the call. Ile concluded,
by returning thinkt to thoee tt ho cattle forwa roluntatily to
name him as their Representative.
Alderman Thompson, Alderman Waithmen, Alderman Wood,
'and 11r. Ward, severally came forward and returned thanks, but
the latter was scarcely heard, in consequence of the liftentiption
of the crowd. ,

The Loan Itlinytnt complained of the conduct eit Aldermen
Garrott, whiCh had eertaittli the eteCt (not, perhaps intentionally
on his part, though it was so with others) of taking many votes
that would have been given to him,, During the afternoon no
lets than SO had voted for Alderman Garrett who had given their
promises to him (the ';Loril Mayor). 'lle asked, whether
he deserved this of Amp ?!..4Cries of "No, 'no !")—lle was
confident that his public' conduct would hear emporium
with the conduct of his adversaries. HE had been called to the
civic chair at. a period of great: distress end difficulty, and he
would ask the merchants and bankers whether there was a single
duty which he had neglected to perform for them. In conclusion,
he expresuid his confidence in the promises of his friends.

• After the opening of the Court, their Lordships pr;Ceederl
to give judgment in the case (argued on a former (ley & Ann
Duffield, es Representative.of a Religious Catholic Este liairmene
at Paris, designated ". the English Blue Nuns," for the vaimr of
property belonging to their establishment, seized and confiscate:l
by the Revolutionary government of 'France. - The elaint bad
been rejected by the Commissioners on the ground that the seizure
was not made in virtue of the Decrees against British subjeeta ;
but in consequence of the laws against Church property generally.
and because establishments of this nature; by British subjects OP
contrary- to the Laws of England. Their Lordships affirmed the ewer d
of the CommisSioners; kut, owing to the extreme hat•dship which
these Ladies sustained by the loss of their private as well as secular
property, reconimendeil that their claims,. as indiridants, and as.
British subjects, for such private property, should he, taken into. .

•hands of the Commissioners. . • - .

Their Lordships next proceeded to give judgment on two ewe-- '
of Messrs. Boyd, Ker, and Co., bankers in Paris, which had been,
likewise argued on former days—the One for a balance of s cash ,•
account due to Messrs. Boyd by the late DukMof Luxemboutill,:"
on which a question' arose between the claimants and the Com-
missioners respecting the allowing of an interest of, 8 or 5 per

to the latter rate on the net balance due to them.
The other was .fora balance duo flow thi;Freneh Government
to the Receiver-General of the Duchrof Valois (part of the
Domains of France, mi,they.existedprevious to the Revolution),
'the reversion of which was purchased by Messrs. _Boyd, in 1798.
The exaet amount of this balance was nut made known by the
French Government till a period soon after which the public debt . •
of that nation was reduced to one-third. Their Lordships, how-
ever, decided that Messrs• Boyd were entitled to the full amount •
of the balance, the mine as is it it had been ascertained in 170 S.
