GENERAL ELECTION.

Earl GROSVENOR has stirred op a bost of oppo-
nents in the city of Chester, by what the people
deem an attempt to monopolize the Representa-
tion of that City. When his intention to bring
forward his son, Lord BBLGRAVE, as a Candidate,
was announced, it was thought that he would
withdraw his countenance from General GROSVE-
NOR, but now it appears that he wishes to procure
the return of both. Hence the friends of Sir
Jorror GREY EGERTON are more on the alert, and
there' is little doubt of the worthy Baronet's suc-
cess.

Liverpool is all in a bustle in preparing for the
new Election ; and though there is no doubt that
the. sitting Members will be returned, yet the
town is threatened with an opposition front the
Earl of SEFTON. His Lordship's patronage of
HoN es blasphemous Parodies, and subscription
for the Author, while he himself was in imminent
danger of approaching death, cannot but.foreiblY
recommend him to every friend of religion gnd ma-

Alt. BENJAMIN SHAW, the Banker, is to be pro-
pond.tor the: City of London, by the independent
interest. This Gentleman is not related to Sir
JAMES SHAW.. .

Mr. ,DOUGLAS KINNAIRD is mentioned as a
Candidate for Westminster, and others are likely
to start. This city ought to be rescued from all
mnb-ascendancy. Why do not persons of weight
and influence start for this city as heretofore ?
On Monday, evening,. A. \V. ROBARTS, Esq.
made his public entry into this town ; lie dined
at the Bull Inn, IVrotham„ whither several of his
friends repaired to join hint, and on arriving at
Sumtnerfield Turnpike Gate, he was met by anu-
merous hotly of freemen on fdot, also on horse-
back and in carriages, together with. some hun-
dreds of the inhabitants, with escorted bins into the
town; the procession passed through the various
streets, accompanied by a band of music and co-
lours, with a boat mounted or•t a carriage, deco-
rated with blue streamers, and filled with water-
men. , Uu arriving at the Star Inn, he alighted,
and from the balcony briefly addressed the Free-
men, stating him proud he,was to meet with so
flattering a reception ; after which, Mr. E. Rus-
SELL expressed his sentiments, and the populace
then retired. Mr. Rpsaars commences his can-
vass this day.—Three. Candidates have already
publicly annottneert their intention of offering
themselves as Representatives for this County,
viz. EDWARD KNATCHBULL, Bart. Sir Jontr
COVRTNAY HONYWOOD, Bart.. and WILLIAM PHI-
LIP HONYWOOD; Esq, it is also expected that Sir
Wu:l.lAm GEARY will again come forward, in con-
sequence of which a warm contest is expected.—

A Work of very,considerable interest, entitled
" Narrative of a Residence at Algiers," has just
appeared limier the superitrendance of Captain
BLAQUIRRE, and dedicated, by permission, to the
PRINCE REGENT, relative-to Algiers. It is the
productiOn of Signor VAN ANT', a Scholar• of
'fuscany, who during the Revolution removed to
England. On his return to his native country he
had the misfortune to be captured by the Pirates
and carried to Algiers. On making himself known
to the Consols,howeYer, he was immediately li-
berated, receiving at the. same time. a pectilidi
mark of distinction from the DEY. lie remained
in the Regency a considerable time, anil applied
himself,to the, investigation of the History, Go-
vernment, Manners, and Customs of this highly
interesting part of Aft ica. From the well-known
talents of the'Anthor, his persevering industry,
and his opportunities for research,it might be
expected that much new light would be thrown
on this, Important subject, particularly when it is
considered that no Work on Algiers has appeared
for a very long period. In this expectation the'
public will not be disappointed t, a, more impor-
tant or interesting volume has seldom been offer-
ed to their attention.
