At the dole of the Poll the numbers fond thus,
For Mr. MLLLISH - 2147
Mr. BYNo - 040
Sir C. lifirriCS - - 1237

On the numbers being declared,
Mr. Brew returned his thanks to the Freel;ldol,
for having increafed his majority fo much over the
worthy Baronet, who, he faid, was avowedly brought
forward as his opponent, by the prefent
MiniHers—
[Shouts of No, tio!—Yes. yes!] who mull he anxious
to have a Parliament lubfervient to their own will.
Miniflers who were anxious to nine ail inquiry AS to
how the money of the people was difpofed of ; who
were anxious to fcreen public ,delinquents from public
jultice [a loud tumult, cries of No, no !—True, true !
Shame, Ihame l—groans, hikes, &c ] Thole Mini.
tiers were anxious to ferve the elation of Gentlemen
who felt thcmfelves the fervants of loch Mininers,
and not the fervants of the People.—[Tumult, ap.
plaufes, and hiffes ] Such are the men whom the
Miniflers were anxious to fee in Parliament ; and
fuch a man, laid he, they know I am not.—[Ap.
plaufes and difapprobation.] You know, Gentlemen,
Pour interen can only be fafe by fending Members to
arliament who will not facrifice their public duty to
private purpofes.—[A percent in the crowd exclaim-
ed, Lord Howick has been thrown nut for that.]—
Lord Howick, Gentlemen, it is true, is not returned
Member for the county of Northumberland; but I.
mull have to bate, that if he is not, Lord Percy is ;
and his political fentiments coincide with thole of
Lot d Howick. I can telt you alb, that Lord Howick
never was in his life better received by the great body
of the freeholders of Northumberland than on the
late occafion, and that nothing made him retire from
a conteli for that county, but the fear of (pending a
greater !um of money than it was convenient for him
to fpare.—[Loud laughter, tumults, Wes, and ap.
plaufes.] In my addreffe. to you, Gentlemen, I have
not, as another Candidate has done, introduced the
name of his Majeny : not becaufe I do not feel the
fame regar d and veneration for the offices, and for t
virtues of my Sovereign, as any other man ; but he
cattle I think 1 timid be violating the freedom
EleEtion, were 1 to introduce a name fa facrea wick
my fpeeches. Thefe are my feelings, Genrieme;
and they Hull continue fo to the late& period of mil
ife.

Mr. MELLISH then came forward and obfery
that his fituation was very extraordinary : it was
of which he was proud ; and which every man mid
envy. The fiiends or Mr. Byng had circulated:
report that he had coalefced with Sir Cluirtoph•
Baynes—(No, no.)—He would repeat, that th
circulated filch a report with induitty —[Cries
no, no—no fuch thing—nnife and tumult.]—B'
what mutt the Freeholders have thought when they
heard Sir Chrillopher Baynes yellerday declare, tha
no underflanding exifted between him and Mr. Byng
It was for the Freeholdets to determine who was
the right. He was fore he was placed at the h
of the poll becanfe he acted up to the principles whid
he profelfed.

vruirree/orm DAY—FRIDAY, MAY 22.
eh. FRANCIS BUSDITT 4632
Lord LOCIIRANK - • 3446
Mr. SUSAIDAN • - 11887
nefore the pod was declared, Mr. Mace ertiv ad.
drened the Eleftors at tome length upon the nature
of the confpiracy formed against the ohjeft of ilt-ir
Phe evinced in the conduCt of the Clerks and In-
fpeftors ; and hill more in the propofition of what
was generally termed the " Long Oath.."
As loon as the poll was announced—
Mr. THOMAS. SHUMAN aepped forward.—[He
was received with enthulianic appl ente.]—After re-
marking upon the circumllance which, he had no
donfit, would be received with peculiar latisfaelion,
that his father was at the head of the whide poll to-
day anti yellerday alto, the Honourable Gentleman
proceeded to ohferve, that being little in the habits
tit public (peaking, he therefore hoped for the indul
Bence of the meeting. This indulgence was the more
neceltary, as the differepce between him, and, indeed,
wiihnut filial vanity, any other man, and the man
whole fuhltitute he appeared mull be fo glaring. But
the reeved of indulgence he hoped the elect .rs would
feel to be Rill more jolt, when, they heard the full
fenrence he had to utter, that in confequence of the
fatigues of canstafs and other exertions—his father
was indifpnfed.--[ Loud and univerfal cries of Hear!
hear !]—He hoped, therefore, the meeting would
forget the nratni and feel for the ton.—[ Hear ! hear !]
The 'Honourable Gentleman animadverted in terms
peculiarly forcible upon the profeffions of indepen-
dence which the affembly had heard from the Noble
Lordond which in his ardent willies to obtain votes
,he had very profirfely dealt in. But how far thefe
profeftions were fincere, it was for the' elearirs to
judge. The Noble Lord, anion other profeffions,
bad Waled his refolution sot to coalefce with any
other Crildidare, 'Although time appearances were
exhibited which ferved to warrant lufpiciiiti that no
thing more than profeßion was meant. Conformably,
however, to tha.general praftice at eleaions, the No.
ble Lord had deter mined to oppife tome candidate,
and he had chofen to oppofe his father, becaufe he
was the weakest—[Loud cries of Hear ! hear 1]—
but upon this he would not dwell. Returning to the
Noble Lord'. difplation to profefs, he oblerved that
the Noble Lord teemed careful to make thole prole--
finns lo indittinet, inexplicit, and undefined, that a
certain latitude toe evalion Ihould always be fecure ;
and this reminded him of a lice yin Joe Miller. This
tacotitsus fellow (laid Mr. Sheridan) Hates, that a
barber infctihed upon his fign—" What do you
this k, lb -ve you for nothing, if you'll give me
fume drink ?"—[A laugh.]—But a wag, attrafted
by the irifciiption, and thinking the barber a merry
fellow, went in to have himfelt (hayed. He gave the
barber a glafs of punch, upon being shaved, but Rill
payment was required. " What, (laid the wag) do
you require payment, look at your board."—Oh,"
replied the barber, " you quite milunderliond me,
you did not perceive the note of interrogation at the
end of my fign ; wh t I meant was this—What, do
you think I'll (have you for nothing, if you'll give
me fame chink?"--[A loud laugh.]—So I am much
afraid, that if the. Noble Lord gets into the Houle
of Conniving, he will tell you, that you overlooked the
note of interrogation, which ought to be annexed to
his profetfions, and that yogi will find his praftice very
different from his theory.—[Loud laughter and ap-
p:aufes.]—Among the obfervations made yellerday
hich elcaped my notice was one from my friend
bzhind me, $Mr. Jennings), namely with regard to
the three decker he reprefents taking in tow the flciff,
that is, nay father. But without making any compa
rative remarks upon the talents of my lather, I would
ask, whether it was a lkiff which fupported that three
decker in the IJoufe of Commons, and alone, too,
spiral every man who attacked it ; whether it was
a ticiff which ftruggled agaioll the ftsfpenfion of the
Habeas Corpus Aft, and by difcharging its vigorous
batteries drove the Milliners from their polls—[loud
plauditsl—whether it was a fluff which, when the
country was alarmed by the (bouts of its difobedient
(.amen, tell, red order, and re ellablifhed that navy
which formed the fecuriry of the nation, and the
means of the Noble toird's fame and confequence?—
[Acclamations of applaufe.]—With the knowledge
ot luch a Hoff, and the recollettion of fetch services,
the people could not belt feel allotrilhment and a dill
political to deprecate the recommendati in of the Ho.
noinable Gentleman, that their only folicitude might
to be to knife the return of Sir Ft anti; Burdett by a
majority of thnotands.— [A (heist of Hear ! hear !]
I am mylell, I ci niers, extremely furptifed at the
recommendation, ter I am latiified that you do con--
tolerable milt-hitt by rem ring men of opto fire prin-
Ales ; for fo unfortirnately is the Horde of Cons-
mons cone.ituted, that I am much afraid the filent
vote done ministerial to, 1 will produce more injury
to ti;e country than cien he counterbalanced by the
50434 to ante from the pleadings of any advm
Cate foe if• [Loud aoplatifes.]—With
regard to tbe exndlatiost of the eleftors, that each
th add he pet fonaliy canyalted, he could not help ex-
piating his farprite, that loch a dant could be en-
tertained—that men who would ipurn at any man who
(*mid attempt p pnee.bafe their votes by a bribe,
fhoold Hill have their votes purchafed by a fair
Ipeech and a low bow. —[Applanfes.]--Really it
teemed a' if inch voters thoug,lit they palled their
oriviteees more for the advantage of the candidates
teaa toe themfelves.—[Arplanfes.]—As to the flight
of Mr. E not, he ftmuld fay nothing. He thought
Mere was now little doubt of being -able to exceed
his nomher nn the poll ; and although there might
be no hope of nutfailing the gallant Lord, he knew
there were reacons fir bringing him to a COlll t mar, ial
for breach a duty, the fentence of which cool t, he
b" Sin doubt, would be its dionifs him from the fer-
vire•of Wellniinner, au.ol, settore him to that service
in which he had fo glut 'may didinguifbed hinitell.

[Apr)ltures.l.—As to the plea of tome of his father's
friends, that there **snot time thottgh to terve him,
he Harrold illultrate his opinion by a fimple Rory.—
There was a prince, who among Other prefents re•
ceived in the miall of his courtiers a very fine fwnrd,
which all thole courtiers admired Much ; obferving,
however, that it was too thou. " Short, (laid the
pr ;nee) no (word can be too 111 It for a brave man,
for one Rep forward makes it long enough." [Loud
olaudits.]—Then laid Mr Sheridan, I will tell yon,
that although the time we have yet to Qruggle be
(port, you can 1141 by ardent arid energetic exertion
attain your point. Be zealous and brave, make but
one Rep forward. and, flout as the time is, you will
reach your objeft.—[Loud applaufes.]
Lord Cocltz•Na then prefcnted !Mule% as tifual,
upon the outer perch, and after 'landing a confider-
able time, procured a hearing. He did not think it
neceffary to trouble the Eledot s with many obferva-
dons 4..11 what had been laid by others. He again
affored them, that the reports as to his coalefcing,
were totally'unfounded, and that his Majetly's Go-
vernment had never given him any fupporr, either
diretlly or indireely. His opporietts, amonglt other
charges, had been forced to have recouife to charges
of bribery and corruption. How could this exill in

a city, where nn fortune, however princely, could
ever corrupt the voters ? It had been laid, that force
perfon, who was thoorght to be an Eleetor, was teen
drinking out of the fame pot with hitnfelf, at .Mr. El-
lint's. He declared, that tor this there was no foun-

dation, or, at leall, if he did drink with any one, he
did not pay for the porter. The Noble Lord then
made Tome alluftons to fea terms, which had been
ufed, and concluded with Rating, that as h. had al•
ready pledged himfelf to fupport meafures which he
approved, lo he would fupport any of the other
Candidates who might be brought in along with him
in his exertions to remedy abules. He had been
called upon to run down the prefent Adminiftration,
as well as the late one; but he was equally ignorant
of the whole of them. Had there been no other

meafure adopted by them, than the diffulution of the
late Parliament, he thought that.:lo praife•worthy.
[Applaufes from Dome, but loud and repeated hiffes
and cries of Off! Od ! fro:n others.l—He thought
that the oftener his &Neny recurred to the fenfe of

- -
his people, much the better for the country.
Mr. Jummisics judified his expreiri n, that Sir F.
Burdett lhotild be rctu,ncd by majotity of thou-

Golds, in order to give their fan tion to the principles
he Mould maintain in the Houle of Commons.—He
admired the eloquence of Mr. Sheridan ; but la-
mented they had nut heard it on the great fubjeil of
public abuies and matte's of the highett kind in State
affairs, inflead of being In pleafant and In playful.—
The fubjal, liowever, of the tyranny of Magittrates
over publicans to compel them to vote against their
confcience, was one, which if Mr. Sheridan fhould
be able to do away, he would come hereafter with
well-founded claims on the Elators of Wellminfler
for their futft ages. He congratulated the Electors
of Weaminitcr on the example they had, by this
Elation, held up to the people of this Country, by
which they had ihewn how praticable it is for a free
land virtuous people to put an end to that practice
which has been for a century our difgrace—that
of Candidates cauvaffing Elettors, and laying out
large fume of money to defray expences. In this
EleCtion they would rej rice to hear that it had toff
the Committee of Sir F. Burdett not fool. in all.--
((Sol. laid a Gentleman in the hullings.)—Sir F.
Burdett himfelf not one penny ; but collated by the
fubfcriptions of individuals, without regard to tank,
in crowns and half.crowns, and guineas and half-
guineas, much more honourable than the fubferip-
lions of Dukes, Peers, or Privy Councillors. This
was bringing back the true principle of the old Con-
of England, by preferring the purity of
EleCtion—(Gieat applaufe)—and the City of Weft-
minfter had let the glori tut example to the rat of
the kingdom. As this was the fail opportunity he
Ihnuld have oladdrerGna the E alms, he would kilt
obferve on the cootie he tould advife them to purtire
with refpeet to their Reprefentatives in Parliament.
Lids fliould he made out of thole who divided in the
Houk of Commons, on every meafure of import.
ance. Thole his fhould be conftantly publifited,
and diftributed as extenfively as poflible. Public
meetings fhould be held to confider of the propriety
of the conduit of the Members who reprefented thole
who fo met, fo that the conduct of a Member fit mild
be judged of by his Constituents frequently ; that
when a General Elation can= round, the Conftitu-
ents fhould have their minds made up as to the con-
do& of their Reprefentatives. He congratulated the
Electors on the foccefs of their labours, and then
retired amid It their applaufe.
Mr. jeastracs then returned to the huffing' to fay,
that it was at &al hoped that Sir Francis Burdett
would be able to attend to-morrow; but as that had
been declared impoffible, he now informed the Elec-
tors that it was in contemplation to chair.itior (as loon
as he was able to bear that exertion) from his own
houfe to the Crown and Anchor. [Loud applaufe.]
Mr. PowLa then came forward. and fpolcf with
great animation and effect. He limed. that it was
impoffible that the Noble Lord could explain his vi-
fits to the Duke of Pottlond and Mr. HtOkiflnn.
[Applaufe]. The-Noble Lord had molt cautiouny
abttained from going to his anal length on the free-
dom and purity of elation. '1 he fail was, that the
Noble Lord, notwithflanding all his profeffions of
purity and independence. had this day been obliged
to fend a letter to the High Bailiff; begging that he
would procraltinate the poll, by requiring additional
oaths from the EleCtors who prelented themfelves to
vote. It happened that this day, men who came
forward with grey hairs, were obliged to fwear, that
they were above twenty-one years old. in addition
to all the common oaths, Lord Cochrane had this
day wiffsed that the long houfeletiker's oath Woad be
alminittered. It was impoffible for any rational man
to put any other contiruCtion on this conduct, than that
the Noble I..trd, who Cu much profelrecl himfelf a
friend to the purity of elation, did, in fact, with to
deprive of his fi anchife, every man who was not ready
vote with him for the Nlineter. [Applaule.]

Yeflerday morning, ihntit ten o'clock, the friends
of Mt. Gitarfits began to altemblt at his tortanittee
Rooriis, iti thi Commercial Buildings; and at eleven
that Gentleman, accompanied by as great a number of
perfons of iefpeetahility and fortune as i've have sit
haled tsts any fintitair occation, proCeeded to Green•
Greet. When Mr. Grattan made Lis appeatance on the
hunings, there was a built, or rather *thunder of ap
plaufe, which continned for a length of time, and

601 have been heard at a conliderable &lance:—

the applaile was u-niv—erf-41—nnt nne diirenting
Mr. SHAW was alfn accompanied to the huitingt by

a number of highly refpefrable Gentlemen, and re-
ceived with great applaufe.
Upnn opening the Court, the two Candidates pre
renting themfelves: Mr. BRIDE, late Governor of the
Bank,of Ireland, propofed the Right Honourable
HENRY GRATTAN, as Reprefentative or the City of
_ _

- ,
Dublin, in which he was fecnnded by Mr. HARTL EY,

who congratulated the Meeting upon the peace and
unan►mity that pervaded all ranks and orders of the
Peoplc, upon an occalinn which, at miter petiods,
had been known to produce diecord, animonty, and
confulion.—He obferved, that Mr. Grattan's fervices
were written i►. the hillory of the country, and that

it required powers equal to thole of that Right Hon.
Gentleman folly to pourtray the benefits he hat' con•
'ferred on Ireland; but, had he even thole p .wers,te

knew, from a long cootie of piivate ft ienithip, with
which he had honoured him, that nothing could be
more difagreeable to Mr. Grattan than Inch adula
lion. He then alluded to the abfence of the Lilh
Nobility, and the lofs of our Parliament, and hoped
that both the Gentlemen Amu to be returned would

rem any golden opportunity that might offer, to re
Rote that plundered right of the people. The har-
mony that prevailed, he attributed chiefly to the re•
folution of Mr. La Touche to decline any cornett for

the honour of. reprefenting them in Parliament, to
whom, and to whore family at large, he aliened that
the People of Ireland had many and Ilrong obliga•
tions. Mr. Hartley concluded a neat and pointed
fpeech, by declaring, he would rather be ihe herald
of that day's tranquillity, than the cuccefiful advo-

tate of any contelt whatever.
Mr. SHAW was propoled by Alderman Hot; r, who
was fecoaded by Alderman CROTH MRS. After which,
the two Gentlemen being announced as candidates,
were unanimoufly chofen by the elators.
Upon the third proclamation being made, the
Sheriffs announced the Right Hrnourable HENRY
GRA T raN, and ROBERT SHAW, Efq. as duly defied
Reprefentatives of the City of Dublin. Whereupon
Mr. GRATTAN Addraed the meeting in the following

terms :
It is now the third.rime that you have conferred
upon me the honourable dilliation of repretenting
you in Parliament ; twice after a warmly contelled
eleftion, but upon the prefent occafion without one
diffentient voice. We have reciprocally made trial
of each other, during fuccedive perit.ds of heat, paiflon,
and violence, and what has jud now occurred, de.
mondeatively proves that we are mutually fatisfied.
You have latterly, and with the charafteriltic gene.
rofity of our country, come forward to fupport me
free of expence. Gentlemen, if I have been at any ex-
pence, it was not owing t . the illiberality of tlioce
im-
mediately concerned fot me, but the unavoidable ne•
ceflityof the cafe. You have more than indemnified me
both far the trouble and expence by your free, un-
bought, and therefore h-nottrable fuffrages this day ;
nor can I make you a fitter return than by exhorting
you to perfevere in that calm and peaceable de•
meanor, which you have hitherto obferved. Natives
of one Country,of one City, let us love one another as
Countrymen and Citizens ought to do. Love the
Empire at large, love the land that fupports you,
but. above all, love one another. This is the fupreme
law of human nature, and that is nc.t good which
impels you to violate it. It is the duty of the Re.
prefenrative to love the public good, and the duty
of the Public to love one another. But while I
fpeak, you give me a proof that my exhortations
are unneceffary :—I fee you lilting quietly and pa.
tiently and affeetionately together upon an occafion
fo likely to enflame the palfions of a lefs civilized
people. Yes—it is with pride that I congratulate
my fellow citizens upon an urbanity that honourably
dillinguifhes them from the natives of another metro.
polis, agitated. if not difgraced, by an oppofite be•
haviour. No fcurrility has efcaped you, even in the
heat of party, and the conflitl of paflions in the ardour
of even a conteded elettion. Your conduct has proved
that the :VI: and manner: of a people may go hand
in hand together, and that the fulled and moll eller•
getie exertion of their privileges is pet feCtly confident
with that refpee for themfelves and each other that
condituter what may be j .ltly termed national pro
litenefs. Gentlemen, you have confided to me three
times the rcprerentation of the fecond city in the
Empire, and the fir a in IL I will not attempt
to repay you by the parade of mere profeflions, which
'would be unbecoming of Ls both. I am fill the fame,
and you have proved yourfelvea unaltered. To the
Sheriffs I beg leave to make my watmed acknow•
ledgments, for the corratnefs and impartiality of
their condo& both upon the prefent and fortbal oc.
cafion—and to YOU I can only fay, accept my Mani:
—accept my firykes ; thole which you have confer-
red upon me are not to be repaid by thanks ; lan-
guage in all its pride is inadequate to exprefs my
gratitude, and your own hearts will more eloquently
fpeak the feelings of mine. You Mall dill find me the
warm, zealous, unwearied, and unaltered friend
and advocate of your rights, your franchifes, and
privileges."
Mr. GRATTAN'S addrefs was received with that
enthufiafro of applanfe, which is the fpontaneoess
tribute of national gratitude to the man who has
uniformly been the Champion and Father of his
Country. When this had fomewhat lubfided,
Mr. SHAW arofe, and, notwithdanding home un.
mannerly interropti-ns from one or two intemperate
individuals, returned thanks to his conllituents for
the honour which they had now 'hike conferred on
him, an honour, which, had it been contelled, he
made no doubt would (till have been in the event his
own.
The eleflit n erded in a manner that juflified Mr.
Geattan's eulogium upon the charades of hirfellueE;
citizens.
Mr. Ga AT raw mounted his chair, which was beau
rifully decorated, amiclit the fit- uts and plaudits of
