Yeflerday being the annicerfary of the birth of his
Royal Highnefs the Duke of Ks NT, the day was kept
by the Officers of the Royals with every mark of re-
rpeet and attachment to their illoßrious Colonel.—
This fine Regiment has three battalions now na. inn-
ad at this place, commanded by Lieutenant Colonel
BULLIR ; the badnefs of the morning prevented the
Regiment being drawn up on the Common, clufe to
the town, for the pnrpofe of firing afro de joie. To-
wards the evening it became more favourable, when
the moment was reseed to form the line and fire;
being dark the effed was beautiful t at five o'clock a
molt elegant and fumptuous dinner was fermi up,
with every delicacy the realm could afford, not omit-
ting groufe in the higheß perfedion. About feventy

Ye Aerday, bein4 the fourth eitr of the WelturiefiThi.

huftings in different bodies from various parithes, led
on by Naval Officers, bearing the banners of Sir Sa-
muel Hood, accompanied by parties of fe amen wear-
ing Sir Samuel's cockades, and bearing laurel)

and preceded by fifes and drums, playing " Hearts

Mr. Portia Mona', on behalf of his Right Hon.
Friend, Mr. Sheridan, addreffed the people, (amid
inceffant groans and bin-es). As far as we could
collat. he laid, the iffue of this day's poll had gone a
great way to verify his predillions of yesterday, and
to prove that the fpirit and good fenfe of the re-
feable and independent inhabitants of Wellmin-
aar was not extinguifhed. This was the firft day in
which the zeal of his fupporten was realty insanifehtd.
far his Right Hon. Friend. It was never before iss
a hate of ailivity, and the relish now proved, that
the reliance he had hitherto expreffed was fully jail-
fied. Yefterday Mr. Paul polled two for his one
a-day hie Riet Hon. Friend polled as many as his
antagonift. fo-morrow be hoped to double his
numbers. Mr. Moore concluded by returning fin-
'cm thanks to the Elehors, in the name of his Right
'Hon. Friend ; intreating them to redouble their ex-
ertions in his cattle, and expreffing his hope, that by
fore the dole of the week, the contell would be de.
tided.

Sir Sets vat. Hoop again begged leave to exprefs
his fincere thanks to the Eleaors, for the very hand
fume manner in which they had, this day, continued
to honour him with their fupport ; and he exprefted
his confidence, that by a continuance of the fame
energies for a day or two loner, the poll would be
decided in his favour. He declined trefpaffing farther
on the attention of his friends, than to requeß from
them an attire perfeverance in the zeal they had this
day fo generouOy evinced for his fupport.
Mr. PAULI. addrefed the people at Come length.
He thanked his friends fur the zeal and aaivity they
had this day manifelled on his behalf, and Paid he
had no doubt of having dopbled his majority, had it
not been for the coalition of interells formed by his
competitors ; a meafute to which they had been nts-
vioufly driven by dire neceffity, and without which.
one of his antagonists, at lean, would have been this
day obliged to relinquifh the Poll ; nor would he at
this time have had five hundred linnet votes in the
City of Weft:sinner. but for the influence of the Tres.
fury exerted in his behalf. Even the gallant Admi-
ral owed the fuecels of which be bcafled to-day,
to the infinence of the Par,ih Officers who attended
him in his canvas. particularly in St. George's
whence his principal fupport was this day derived:
Repeatedly, in the cootie of this Eleaion, bad his
antagonills, and the hireling prints in their pay, the
hardihood to charge him not only with bribing the
Eleelors to his fupport, but with hiring mobs of bib&
geon.men to dillurb the peace of the city, and deter
their friends from venturing to approach the !Innings.
Every man who heard him mutt know the falfehood
of fuch atfertions. But he begged to a& who it was
that this day brought forward the armed mob of
bludgeon-men, led on by a hired gang of bruifcrs,
ruffians, and fcoundrels, to dieurb the public peace,
and deter his friends from approaching the Hollings ?
or who it was that introduced the low mummery and
pantomimical tricks this day exhibited. to giveinie
fp/ to the proceedings of thole performers? The
public had been to.day mulled by tnejfejoa of Rodin
Hood, and the Farce of the Forty Whirvel, brought
forward by the Managers as an Elettion manoeuvre ;
but they were welds, it would teem, of the Tra-
gedies which loch riotous proceedings had here-
tofore caufed, and might again produce. For his
own part, be felt no terrors for filch proceedings,
while he was Surrounded by fuch a body of lnde•
pendent Eleaors, in whofe affeEtions it was his
ambition to live, and in whole proteaion he felt
!timid( perlealy fecure. He loiemnly pledged
hiinfelf ru And the poll to the lei moment, and
to give the really Independent Eleaors of Wausau-
fler, an opportunity of proving to their country. and
to the world, that they were not to be biaifed by all

the inlitellee of a Miniller, *or parelistfed.by all the
gold in the Treafury. The caufe in which they were
engaged, was the cede of the people of England I
and if they utilised to be free, they would redouble
their exertions, and fecure their triumph. His prin-
ciples and his conflitutional I syalty had been quer
tinned by his opponents : but he challenv'ed any man
to arraign the polity of thole principles, with the
avowal of which, in his public ad vcr 'icor eta from the
Crown and Anchor, he had commenced I.i. appeal to
the Elators, and in which it would be his ambition
to perfill to the !all hour of his life. Mr. Paull con.
eluded, by vindicating himfelt from Come charges in'
a Morning Paper, of ingratitude to Marquis Wellef
ley, for favours received from him, and an alledged
cooottlion with the Native Chiefs of India, by totally
denying any obligations to the Noble Marquis, and
every other concern with the Princes of lodia,except
ftich as a Bt ifh Member of Parliament was jullified
to airtime, on the ground of national jullice and tom-
mon humanity. He entreated his friends to redouble
their energies, and come up in ftroog numbers to the
poll of this day t and then retired, amid the nnboun.
drd applaufe of all around him. 'I he Meeting then

Great soothers of Freeholders were affemhled at
Guildford, to poll fur Mr. THoas row, when a letter
from him to the Sheriff was read, mentioning, that
he did not think there was fulSeiens ground of rib*
lion to the political conduß of the late Members, to
warrant him in oppofing them ; that he war highly
obliged to thofe friends who had propofed him, and
the Freeholders who had voted for him ; but that he
fhould referee the offering hinifelf to fosse future op-
portunity, rather than dilturb the peace of the county
at preen,. There teemed no doubt in the minds of
the Freeholders prefent of Mr. THORN-rotes fuecefs, if
he had perfevered in the conrel, although he never
had appeared in perfon on the Huffing*. The other
two Candidates were then declared by the Sheriff to
be duly elated.
NORFOLK NOMINATION. _ _ _

NaIIWICM, Nov. s.—At ten this owning, Colonel
Virodehottfe, attended by a numerous cavalcade of
Norfolk Freeholders, proceeded through the city, tr.'
the County Hall ; he vet s received with cheers from
all quarters. After, waiting Come time, the High
Sherif arrived ; afterwards Mr. Coke, with Mr
Windham, enterel. Mr. Coke was received v ith
applaufe—Mr. Windham with hiffes and groans, and
(bouts of No placrnews ! No lure row, &c.
Sir R. BUXTON raid, that the Freeholders were
called on to 'moire their right elehoofing a proper
perfau to reprefent the County of Norfolk, and con-
cluded with propofing Colonel Wodeltoufe (opplaufe).
Mr. junnans entered into a panegyric on the
charaler of the Hon. Colonel, and hoped the County
would not be dietated to.—Yarmouth and Norwich
had ler a noble example. and were the Freeholders
of Norfolk to be dills ted to by a fiogle man ? (No!
no ! from all per:: of the Nall.)
Colonel Wonamou se retnrned thanks for the high
honour that had been done him ; he (aid, the county
had been unwarrantably entered by a Right Hon.
Gentleman, who had been brought in by the lion.

Mr. CHIAN role and thanked the Freeholders. He
declared his intention of porfuing the fame line of

it fhould be the intention of the Freeholders to re-

himfelf or his Right Hon. Friend (horrid be returned,
be declared to Goo, that fuch were the talents of
that Right Hon. Gentleman, he would be proud to
reign his intereft to him. Mr. Windham's talents
wool.: be of more fervice to the country than his own.
lie had differed from that Gentleman in fome points,
but he had always entertained the higbefk relped for
him as a private friend.
Mr. WINDHAM Taft (but FMCS and groans, from
all pap% for near ten minims, prevented his being
heard). In alittfion to the (pitches of the Honourable
Gentlemen who had before fpoken, bit thought, a
perfon in pcffellion of the confidence cf his Moistly,
could do more fervice to his connituents, than ooe
not in office. As to the profits of flach a fituatlon, it
was a paltry confideration. and it was illiberal and
unjuft to fuppofe, that a man could not reprefent a
county. becaufe he was a member of adminiftratiun ;
he thought on the contrary, that he could do them
more fervice. He believed he might fay, he was now
a Member of Parliament, but he had a high refpee
for the Freeholders of Norfolk, they were the lons of
she foil—he was a native of the county ; and though
the contefl would be expentive, and though pr udence
diciated a contrary condo& yet it was his ambition
to reptefent the county of Norfolk ; hi, public con-
0111E1 was before them, and on that he gruonded his
fupport. He then proceeded to charge Colonel Wodo-
!mule with beginning a premature canvafl.
Colonel WODF:IOV Sr defended himfelt by laying.
that he had done no more than others had done with
Government interel, and inflanced Lord Althorpe's
canvas for Nottingham.
Mr. WINDHAM, in continuation, urged his public
conduß.
