Having, in my public addrefs, Rated to you the principles which
will regulate my condudt, if I am placed in the important truft of
one of your Reprefentatives, I need not here repeat declarations of
my attachment to our beloved Sovereign and our molt excellent
Conftitution ; or affurances of my being free from every party en-

effedtuany preferve that Conftitution inviolate.
For the privileges, commerce, and prokerity of the City of Lon-

truft, that the knowledge and experience acquired by a perfevering
application throughout my whole life to commercial purfults, will

the finccrity of there profeffions; and I can only add, that thould
be the objedt of your choice,it (hall be the Rudy of my life to ful
flu the engagement which I have fo deliberately undertaken.
It was my anxious with to pay my perfonal refpcdts to every
Member of the Livery, and I beg them to believe, that in thofe in -
ftances in which I may fail of fo doing, it is only owing to the in-
accuracy of lifts, or the unintentional overfights of an extenfive
and halty canvafs. I have the honour to be,
With the greatelt refpedt, Gentlemen,

13HE Committee for Conflating the Eleaion of
ALDERMAN HANKEY, having teen the Qneftions ad-
dreffrd to him in the public Papers, anfwer to the ME, that Al.
derman Hankey did not divide in favour of Lord Howick's Bill
for the admiffion of Roman Catholics into power. The Alderman,
with the majority of the Corporation, wilhed forthe fullcft infor-
mation on a queftion of fo great magnitude, previous to the deci-
fion of the Court, and therefore voted for the poßponement of Mr.
Deputy Birch's motion, on Thurfday, the sth of March.
The frcond gireftion is fo general, and of fuch an undefined
nature, that the Committee are of opinion, that it does not admit
of a precife anfwer—hut Alderman Hankey is not a Member, nor
was he ever at any of the Meetir gs of the Whig Club.

GtNTLLMIN,
rTHE peculiar cireurnltances under which the Dil-
l- folutlon of Parliament has taken place, are of fuch infinite
importance, as call upon every refleding mind to exert its belt
Energies in Support of our glorious Conftitution hi Church and
State.
When I a& you, therefore, to give me your Suffrages for the
fifth time, to reprefent this great City is the Commons Houfe of
Parliament, I feel I addrefs you on the ftrongeft ground that a
Candidate can occupy, namely, a confeloufnefs of having on every
oc.cabon protedted that Conftitution to the utmolt of my power,
fearlefsly and faithfully ; and, in the Confidence that the good
Liverymen of London will not defert the Man wir, as never
deferted the Prornifes be has made 01=1, ; 'peg leave to fitbmit to
your recollfdion the few following F.xtrads from the Appeals I
made on former cecafions to you for your Support.
Extrad from my Firft Ad irefs to you. June inra.--" As a
Member of the Community at large, I than be squally anxious to
preferve inviolate our glorious Conflitution, a Conftitutiort erett-
ed by the deliberate Wifdom of our Atteeftors,fandioned by Time,
and confirmed by the troll. (Outdid Virtues and Abilities of the
prefent Age."
In my Second, of June 1796.—" 1 never can have the pre-
fuenprion to meet you again on a fimilar Oessfion, if the firm and
undeviating Principles ihouhl in ai.y one initance be abandoned by
me, which have hitherto aCtuated my Conduct.
Thore Principles have been. and, while I have ability to give
them effect, or memory to retain a fenfe of your favour, fhall in.
viriably be—Loyalty to my King—anthaken Attachment to the
Conftitution of there Kingdoms—and'an inflexible Adherence to
the Chartered ktl,hts of you, my Conftituents."
In my Third, of June doa —" I hive uniformly, Readily, and
ftrenunufly. exerted every nervq, as a Man, a Nlaetrate, and a
Reprefcntative of the Commons of England, to fupport, main taio,
and ftrengthcn our glorious Conttitution, which, gaining, like the
Britifh Oak, increafed vigour in the ftorm. Rands, in fpite of all its
11-Allan's, more (wire and more envied than ever."
From thefe erratts I take leave to deduce this inference—that
my prokilians have been uniform to you, to maintain, while I have
life, the facred barriers which our anceltors eredled for the prefer-
vation of our religion,laws, and liberties; and I challenge any man,
who has attended faithfully to my condudt during the period of
four fuc.effive Parliaments, to confute my affertion, that I have
ardently and rcligioufly defended, at all times, our Church and
.our King Such has been, is, and ever than continue to be, the
halls of my public and private condud. Upon there principles
I confidently come forward, on the prefent oreafion, to folicit
a continuance of that firm fupport and adive zeal which have
ever been the pride of my life and belwark of my hopes.
1 am. Gentlemen, with the greateft refped,
Your faithful, obliged, an d humble Servant.
