WWHATEVER of public or of private inconve-
v.! plena may arife from fo fuddeu a DlE°lotion of Parlia-
ment,it gives to me ptrfonally no regret, becaufe it brings. though
temporarily,into pratice, a principle long.fettled in my mind. that
the appeal of the Reprefattatives to their Conititueuts should be
more frequent than by law they are.
in the Taft three Parliaments you have been pleated to honour me
with your confidence. During that time it has been my Fortune
to have been fometimes the oppofer, and fometimes the fupperter
of Minifiers ; but in neither cafe have I ever felt any dread of their
power, or benefit from their favour : the public intereft has been
the only motive that ever adtuatcd my condudt,.and a continuance
of your confidence the only.recompence 1 looked to.
I throw royfelf again upon your confederation, and in Caching
molt carnally as 1 do, the favour of your votes to return me as one
of your R. prefentatives in the nest Parliament, I repeat to you my
aft-trances of an unalterable attachment to the Con flitutiom of our
Country, and I prnmife you a continuance of that independence,
which, I troll, has hitherto manifefted itfeif in my public condudt.
Wednaday, May 6. being 'he day of Elation, your early at•
tendance at GuildhaU in my favour, will be gratefully acknow-
ledged.
With great rcfpedt,l have the heirnur to he. Gentlemen,
Your much obliged, and faithful humble Savant,

MR. Alder man COM Bi's Committee Will fit every
day at ten o'Clock. at the Guildhall Coffee Houfe, where
any communications will be confldered a favour.

One of your Reprefentatives, I need not here repeat declarations of

AI the engagement s...hich I have fo deliberately undertaken.
It was my anxious with to pay my ptrfonal refpedls to every
Member of the Livery, and I beg them to believe, that in thofein -
Ranee. in which I may fail of fo &in, it is oily owing to the in-
accuracy of lifts, or the unintentional overfights of an extenfive

TO THE WORTHY AND INDEPENDENT LIVERY OF
LONDON.

GituvLiatEN,
THE pectiliar circumftances under which the Dif-
folution of Parliament has taken place, are of facie infinite
Importance, as call upon every refteding mind to exert its belt
Energies in Support of our glorious Conftitution in Church and
State.
When I a& you, therefore, to give me your Suffrages for the
Ofth time, to rtprefint this great City in she Commons Houfe of
Parliament, I feel 1 addrefs you on the ftrongeft ground that a
Candidate can occupy, namely, a confcioufnefs of having on every
occallon prifedted that Conftitution to the utmoft of my power,
feariefily and faithfully ; and, in the Confidence that the good
Liverymen of London will not dcfert the Man who has never
deferted the Prosnifes be has made them, I beg leave to fubmft to
your recolledtion the few following Extradis from the Appeals I'
spade on former occafions to you for your Support.
Ettradt from my Firft Adder& to you.. June 79n.-0 As a
Member of the Community at large. I mill be equally anxious to
preferve inviolate our glorious Conftitution, a Conftitution eredt-
ed by the deliberate We filom of our Anceftors,fandtioned by Time,
and confirmed by the croft fplendid Virtues and Abilities of the
relent Age"
In my Second, of June 1796.—" I never can have the pre-
fumption to meet you again on a fimilar Oceafion, if the firm and
undeviating Principles fhould in any one inftance be abandoned by
me, which have hitherto adluated my Conde/.
" More Principles hays been, and. while I have ability to give
them effeilt, or memory to retain a feufe of your favour, fhall in•
variably be--Loyalty to my King—unlltaken Attachment to the
Conftitution of thefe Kingdoms--and an inflexible Adherence to
the Chartered Rights of you, my Col.:Ritmo:oo*
In my Third, of June 1801—." I hive nnifermly, Iteadily, and
ftramoufly, exerted every nerve, at a Man, a Magiftrate, and a
Reprefentative of the Commons of England, to fupport, maintain,
and ftrengthen our glorious Con (btu tion. which,
Pining, like the
Nita Ctik , Inc:eared vigour in the ftorm, Rands, in fpite of all its
Affaflantr more fecure and more envied than ever."
From thefe tetrads I take leave to deduce this inference—that
toy profeftions have been uniform to you, to maintain, while I have
life, tte tarred harriers which our ar.ceftors eredted for the prefer •
auk'? of our religion ,la ws, and liberties; anal I challenge any man,
who has attended faithfully to my conduit% during the period of
four fuecenive Parliaments, to confute my affertion, that I have
ardently and religioully defended, at all times, our Church and
our King. Such has been, is, and ever Mall continue to be, the
tabs of my public and private condudt. Upon dtgfe principles
'I confidently come forward, on the prefent•oreagoin, to (click
s 'continuance of that firm fupport and salve seal which have
everibeen the pride of my life and briar:eh of my Dopes.
I am, Gentlemen, with the greateft refped.
Your faithful, obliged, and bumble Servant,
WILLIAM CURTIS.
