LONDON.

GENTLEMEN,
H Success which 1 have eXperienced tlnr
ing my Canvass, has exceeded my most sanguine expec-
tationr, and has removed all apprehension as to the result
of the Contest. I had some reason to fear when I offered
myself to your Notice, 'that my Coniyetitors experienced in
the business of Election, and having more command of their
time, might have already engOged-the exclusive suppom of
Gentlemen whose political bias identified then► ,with op-
posing Parties. This impediment, formidable to a new Can-

rdidate, did not deter me, and the flattering reception:%vitlr
which I have invariably been greeted, has convinced me that
I did nut over rate the reliance I placed upon you. In my
Addresi of the 17th We; I made you acquainted with my pre-
tensions, and my Sub-,Committees have afforded Inc Ilte
highest satisfaction, in reporting the ready accordance of the
Livery with what I then advanced. I had occasion to make
my apology in a recent Advertisement, for not having been
more generally seen amongst you. The delay is attributable
to the peculiarly heavy public Engagements which preis
upon me, and to a !determination not to permit any pursuithowever dear to me to interrupt the discharge of my Official

Duties. I
entreat you not to allow this circumstance to
operate to my prejudice, I could nut be more usefully or
more pleasantly engaged than in cherishing a-familiar in-
tercourse with the whole Of'the Livery, to whom I alredy
feel so much obliged. The day of Election being- fixed for
Tuesday next, the 7th inst. I most earnestly requeit the fa-
vour of your earty attendance at Guildhall in toy behalf.

I remain,

With the greatest respect,
Your faithful and obedient Servant,.

THE DISSOLUTION of PAR LIA MENT
calling upon you for a fresh
.Exercise of your EleCtive
Franchise, I venture once more to obtrilde myself upon your
attention, and to solicit a renewal of that confidence with
hich,l have been honoured on several occasions. My hopes
of a successful Appeal tt► your favour rest principally on
that indulgence which I have so repeatedly experienced from
you; I can, however, with truth, assure you, that, if I
am fortunate enough to be again intrusted with a share
of your Representation, you may rely' upon my steady
adherence to that line of conduct which I consider calculated
to maintain unimpaired our excellent Constitution, and to
promote the lodal interests of the County and Isle.
I have the honour to be,
Gentlemen,
