DmitriAst VOUNTY will also, it is said, be eon-
tested;'-..inil though it is reported that a great Onniber
of Freeholders have been made to support one of
the present Members, yet it is thought, that if an
exertion equal to that of 1790 is auain made, this
County will recover its independence, and be res-
cued from the dominion of the two families who
have now the possession of its Representation.
lltranam CITY.—Four Candidates are expected
to offer for this City,—Mr. Wharton, Mr. M. A.
Taylor, General Sir 1-I.•Hardinge, and Mr. Wil-
kinson,—and should they all go to a poll, the
contest must be severe and expensive. •

Alderman Wood, Mr. Waitbman, and Mr. Aidee-

Whigs in the City, the latter Gentleman is uot,

(From the Diadin Evening Post, Feb. 8.)

By ARTHUR MALE,
Of Lincoln's I►iu, Esq. Barrister at Law.
CONTAINING.

SOUTHWARK and WESTMINSTER are likewise to
be contested, but the names of the Candidates
are so many, and there is so little certainty of the
truth of the reports respecting them, that we
forbear for the present giving them.
Noasetcu.—This City will be contested. It is
said that Mr. William Smith retires, but we Lave
not beard so from any authority.
YARMOUTH .—A severe contest is likely to occur
again at this place, but we have not any idea that
Mr. Coke wi!l venture again to disturb the peace
of t' e County.
COLCHESTER will again be the scene of another
**Juggle for i:s respectability and independence,
as three Candidates are spoken of fur it.
ESSEK:---1: is generally understood that Mr.
Weston is likely to retire, in consequence of
which a severe contest may be expecten for this
County, each patty being coaident that they gat)
cat ry both the. seats.
HAMPSHIRE will not, it is supposed, be con-
tested, though there are not wanting intlica.tious of
opposition to the influence which basso long pre-
vailed in this County.
PORTSMOUTH predominant party in this
Borough appear di posed to re-elect Admiral
Markham, to whom a requisition has been sent ;
end the recent creation of Burgesses by them wOl,
it is imagined,.secure his election and that of
Mr. Carteris.

The following Letter has been sent to us yes 7 .
terday. We mnst anxiously hope that the inter
ligence which it conveys wi:l be found correct.— -;
As there can by no possible motive in misleading
the Public or Ourelves in ,a matter of snub, eitkep,
interest, ire entertain little tloilbt as to the
at the statement. Mr. M`TAsistr. as

Montreal,-.December 27, 18:9.
A Messenger arrived frona,the Indio Country, 0
• about an hour ago, with the pleasing
intelli-
• gence that the North-West Passige had b,eu
found by the shipi sent Out from England la:St..
1 summer. They made their ptissage good throcgh
• one of the Sounds in Witflin's -I3iy, and bad
• reaaed the month of the Coprrmine River
• where the :•essels were sectited tor the %vinter,
and Mr. Hoffer, or Haffner , was sent to find
• out any of-the Agents nt. our Company, to whom.
• he was to deliver the dispatch', and then return
'to his ship; The dispatch was delivered to Mr.
• Grant, who sent it on immediately to this place ;
and it is just setting off for Quebec to the Act,,A
• ing Governor. The post is tel off for New
• York, and I have only time to say, that I hope tk
• this may reach you soon, All further patticu.
• jars you will soon hear ; but all that I have
• told you is all that 1 have myself beard.

SOUTHAMPTON.—This hitherto ancient and loyal
place will be. the scene of another sharp contest,
as four Candidates have already presented theni.:_
selves to the Electors.

WINCHESTBR will be as quiet as the two ruling
Families and the Chamber of the City can wish,
whatever may be the feelings of the resident free-
men or the inhabitants at large.

Sussex it is supposed cannot'escape a contest,
and the probabili►y is, that the Eastern Division
of the County will start a Candidate in opposi-
tion to their own Member.

ARUNDEL.,—The independent Voters for this
place expect -to establish their influence on
such a basis as will prevent its being again► di--
i►+rbed by any of the aristocratic influence in the
neighbourhood. Four Candidates have offeted for
this Borough.

'JOHN NIPTARISH.'"
With respect to the name of lioFFsa or HoFF,'
NEB, mention( d in the extract of Mr. M'TARISH'6
Letter, it affords us astrong corroboration of the
probability of the intelligence. In looking over
an account of Captain Ross's Voyage, for the.
naineg of the Officers on board the Expedition,
we could not, it is true, find the name of HOF:
PER or HOFFNER ; but in Lieutenant, now Cap;
tain PARRY'S ship, the Alexander,. we find the name
of Lieut. H. P. HoPPNau, the son, we believe, of
the celebrated Painter of that name. Though we
cannot state, from our own knowledge, that Mr.
HoPerrEa went out again with Captain
2,1 LI aY;
yet it is most probable he accompanied that Officer;
in his voyage. Coppermine River was visited by
HEARNE about the year 1771, as nearly as we re. 7
collect, for we have not his book near us ; in the
vicinity of which he states he saw the sea. 11u
..
by some strange fatality, HR, RNa did not proceed
to the Coast, and, we believe, took no observa=l
Lion. A doubt, therefore, hag been thrown on his.
acconnt.—We wait with the utmost a%lxiety,
anxiety which the Public will share with us, for
further accounts.

NOTTINGHAM.—Mr. Smith offers himself for
this place.

LANCASTER —Mr. Cawthorn has declared him-
self for this Borough, notwithstanding his signal
defeat at the Election ; his security probably de-
perlds on the enormous expence which is always
incurred at elections for this place.
BOROUGHREIDGE.—Mr. Lawson is, we under-
stand, to be returned again one of the Members
for. this Town, as the proceedings adopted by
the other influence have not increased either their
influence or their' popularity.
WESTMORELAND AND CUMBERLAND.—These
Counties and the Boroughs within them, are likely
to be the scene of general electionering warfare ;
for, aided by the influence of the Kentish Peer,
and the rump of the Whigs in these-districts,
Mr. Brougham and his partisans will not abandon
their pursuit, though they are convinced their pre-
sent attempt will be as unsuccessful as the former.
