GENERAL ELECTION.

We understand that it is the intention of the
preient Members for the City of Gloucester, Lord
H. HOWARD and Col. WEB B, again to offer them-
selves-at the General Election, tor the honour of
representing that ancient City in Parliament. It
is said, however, that they will meet a power
fa! opponent in the person of HOBERT BHANIET
COOPER, E•q. a Gentleman of higa character in
the County for talents and integrity, and tie no-
bler endowments of a Christian and aman.—Mr.
CooPEtt, it seems, stands upon sound constitn-
iicmal principles in the True 'Blue Interest ; and
it appears to be the general opinion that Lord 11.
HOWARD, who has represented the City of Glou-
cester for three successive Parliaments, will, upon
this occasion, have a hard struggle, a severe con-
test being expected.

. .
Sir ROBERT WILSON, is is said, will be propos6
as a Candidate for the Borough of Soutlnvark.
