CITY Of Dusts a, Jo Ls. 22.—In confequence of
ii:e notice ilfued by the High Sheriffs, a Court
•V4i vctlerday held at the Si.ffion-houfe in Green-
Rreet, for the purixsfe of eleaing two Citizens to
fern in Parliament for this city. The notice
~,t%:slq been iffnel for ten o'clock in the morning,
4. :::ffions-houfe was opened at an early hour ;
sa.i, at the time appointed, the Sheriffs took
it feats.
Co the arrival of the feveral Candidates,
CPARLES WALD, Efq. rote, and in a Sort,
fpeech. called the attention of the Elation to their
la'e faithful and hone& Reprefentatives, Mr. Be-
resford and Mr. Ogle, who had difcharged the
truß confided in theta with unimpeachable inte-
grity and honour. It'was, he Paid, the duty of
the Citizens of Dublin to reward thofe qualities
when they had'been difplayed in their fervice, and
confiding as he did in their ;unite and confißency,
he begged leave again to recommend them to
their tupport.
J. Pa-nice, Efq. feconded the nomination of
Mr. Beresford.
The Right Hon. the Lat. MATOIL rofe to fup-1
port the nomination of Mr. Ogle.
W. CoLvitLe. Efq. in a handfome and appro.
priate fpeech, propofed J. Latonche, jun. a Gen-
tleman polkaing in a peculiar degree thofe quali-
fications which thould recommend him to the re-
prefentation of this his native city. He was fe-
conded by Mr. Robert Shaw.
Jonah Barrington, Efq. was propored by
MORT GRATTAN, Efq. and the motion was fe.,
Bonded by
Mr. Gamiest Pow songs., who complimented the
public fpirit, independent eondat, and political
parity of Mr. Barrington—a man who retitled of.
fen of the higheli profeffional advantage, when he
/nand that the fale of his country was is be the
price of his preferment.
Mr. Bea MORD thanked the Gentlemen who
had prnpofed him for the kind way in which they
luid been pleafed to fpeak of his humble efforts;
his fellow-citizens had already witnelfed his par-
t imentary conduEt ; they had obferved, that in
emery thing he had confulted their intereas and
followed their wilbes. One thing he wifhed before
he fat down to mention—for it was a matter in
which lie felt that his own charafter was involved
..ran attempt had been made to identify him with
fume difturbances which had lately occurred in
this city. It had been fuggefted that he had
encouraged rioters ; this fuggeftion he could not
itoppore ta have arifen from any of the oppoGte
candidates or their friends; it could not have been
the fuggellion of any Gentleman, but he rather
fuppored it to have been the invention of pcifons
who willed themfelves to diftur!, the public
race by propagating fuch infamons and unfound-
ed Ganders. __ _ _ _ . .

Mr. Oats exprefra himfelf incapable of doing
jullice to the•feelings of gratitude with which he
was impreled for the confidence his former con&
tuents andlellnw-eitizens had repofed in him, he
mull therefore refer it to the conception of every
liberal and ingenuous mind.
Mr. Laroueu t, in a neat and energetic feeeeh,
which inipreffively evinced his powers as a public
fpeaker, declared the high and grateful fenfe
which he entertained of the warm and honourable
teflimonies of public favour and elleem, which he
had experienced in his canrafs for the reprefenta-
den of this city.
Mr.BARRINGTON. overwhelmed as he appeared
with firong feelings, retied the great weight of
his pretenfions on the countenance and fupport of
Mr. Grattan, who was prefent ; he took a review
el his own conduit while in Parliament, profeffed
a refped for his Hon. Friend, Mr. Beresford,
‘h.ch originated in an early intimacy with hilt',
and which Rill continues unimpaired; it was not
his with to depreciate the worth or the talents of
any other candidate, but that freedom of principle,
which he Thould ever maintain, could not permit
him to fupprefs any commentson public meafures,
and public men, which the importance of the pre-
fint occafion, and a jullification of his own prin-
ciples, demanded ; he adverted to a letter ad-
dreifed to Orange Lodges, by Mr. Beresford, not
to interfere in the queftion of Legiflative Union,
while he, in the laft Parliament of this kingdom,
opp.fei the meafure himfelf.—[Mr. Beresford
avowed the letter.]
Mr. BARRINGTON afterwards related a tranfac-
Nal of Lill night (Monday), when he was taken
into candy by the Sheriff, and bound in recog-
nizance of 30001. to keep the peace. He courd
not conceive any caufe for fuch proceedings. It
is true Mr. Beresford was alfo bound over; he
would not, however, pretend to affert that Mr.
Bcresford was affeekd with a regret equal to hit
win on that incident; but it was a (pecies of a:ler-.
(lon early avoided, while fuch countries exilleetas
Germany, Great Britain, and America. Mr. Bar-
r.ngton afterwards read a tell, by which he would
.ieLlare himfelf hound to his fellow-citizens never
.1 accept place, petition, or emolument, under
Covernment, while in Parliament, should he have
t!.. honour of being returned there.
Mr. Blittsroto again rofe, feeling himfelf
call-
a!a ;ion from the obiervations which dropped from
t!te Hon. Gentleman who (poke fall. He again
av'excti having written the letter which the Gen.
advanced in accufation againft the fince-
ray of his conduit in Parliament, while oppofing
the meaftwe of Union. He wrote that letter, be-
ea.afe he did not conceive it proper for any body
st men not reeognifed by the Confiitutiim to in-
terim with a po—ntic4l queflion.—(Here was a Fe.
Stral clap of hands.)--Rapciting the tea in wheels

the Hononiable Gentleman affeitea to bia him-
felf, he mull decline followinghiseximple,becanfe
genuine independence of principle would not au-
thorife it. Befides, a tell was altogether nuga-
tory ; the acceptance of a place would vacate his
feat, and oblige him to return to his eleCtors for
their judgment. Were he, however, difpnfed to
vaunt of refuting the offer of favours, he appealed
to an Hon. Gentleman near him (Mr. Grattan) if
he was not well warranted in doing fo ?—(Mr.
Grattax &old sfent)—But it is a circumftance
which he would never think of affixing as a merit
in himfelf, while he had the complete uniformity
of his public principles to confole him. RefpeEt.
ing any hint the Honourable Gentleman had of-
fered as to lets regret than he himfelf felt in being
bound over to the peace, it was not fufficiently ex-
plicit to call for animadverfion. (Mr. Barrington
here eared him he meant no infinuation difre-
fpeCifol to him.) He would regret extremely to
give any unprovoked caufe for ruch a proceeding
with regard to himfelf, as no man was more averfe
to infringe on the laws, or on the peace and good
order of fociety ; but lhould AMCTIC:i at any time
be the Honourable Gentleman's with or deßina-
don, it was a voyage he could take with as little
reluitance as any man.
Mr. Ckica raid, that as to the obreeion made to
him, he (weer had nor ever would (offer any dan.
ger, either of life or property, to Rand between him
and the difcharge of his public duty. As to the
tell, the belt he could give would be a reference
to his pall conduit.
Mr. J. Lacoocas thought the tell unneeeffary
as to him, lla:lama as none of his family had ever
taken a place.
On the ufnal reference to a thew of hands, the
Sheriff declared in favour of Mai': Beresford and
l.atouche ; a poll, however, was demanded by the
other candidates and their friends. _

In the cOurfe of polling, Mr. Giffard objeded to
the competence of Mr. Grattan, who was about to
vote for Mr. Barrington, ox the fcore of having
been disfranchifed in the year 5798. (Mr. Beres-
ford and Mr. Ogle feverally difclaimed taking ad-
vantage of fuch an incident.)—Mr. Giffard perfift-
ed, not on the pan of either Gentlemen he alleged,
but on the part of the freemen of Dublin, and in
the fupport of their rights.
Mr. GRATTAN, in reply, expreffed the fatisfac-
tion he felt at conceiving this unwarrantable ob-
*lion did not originate with the refpe&able can.
didate in whofe fupport it was apparently made.
Though circunsftances had rendered it impolEble
for him to coalefce with them in friendfhip, yet
he felt a pleafure which he could not defcribe in
regaling that he Rill enjoyed a &are of their
efteem. Mr. Grattan proceeded to thew by in-
ference from ellablifhed precedents and legal au.
thorities, that he could not have been disfranchifed.
After fome argument, in which Mr. Geos ge
Ponfonby's obfervauon was Objeded to, the AR
of Parliament precluding all interference from
Lawyers, Mr. Grattan's competence as an elector
was eftablilhed, the ad of his disfranchifement not
having been recorded in the original hall, his name
Rill (landing on the records in the Town Clerk's
Office.

he poll now commenced, agreeably to a refo-
lotion among the Candidates, of polling only a cer-
tain number on the Sal day.

Mr. By N o—Gentlemen, I beg you to accept my
warmer( thanks for your uncealing kiednefs, and
to inform you that I am on the Polio( this day 26
beyond Mr. Mainwaring. This, however, I hope,
will not prevent your exertion, but that you will
endeavour to advance me Rill more abovehim,tlut
you will enable me not only to maintain my maio.
rity throughout the Eleetion, but confiderably to in-
creafe it. I with you always to recollett that the
caufe for which you contend is your own, not
isine ; and you may Ten Aired that if by the fa-
vour of my fellow-citizens I Stall be exalted to the
honourable Ration of their Reprefentative, I Shall
make that return which mutt be grateful to your
wither, and molt congenial to my own fentiments,
namely, to perfevere in the fame Use of conduS
which you have hitherto fti repeatedly faMlioned
' by your approbation.
Sir Examen Buitorrr—Countrymen, every
day's experience feria to confirm the opinion I
have fo often mentioned to you, that, notwith-
(lauding the advantage which Mr. juftice Main-
Waring obtained over us,during the few firft days
of this Eleition, there were a number of indepen-
dent Freeholders unpolled, more than fufficient,
if collated, to enfure our fuccefs. You mutt per-
ceive that our mutter increafes as we advance,
while the forces of our adverfary decline; indeed,
if we may judge from the eomplezionof thofe who
have voted within the lag few days, his corps is
almolt completely exhaufted. I have before re-
marked to you, what a formidable enemy we have
met with in Weßminfter Abbey; new levies Rill
continue to fpring from it ; for in addition to the
Bell-ringers, Sextons, Prebends, &e. already poll-
ed, we have had to-day the Gareur and the Urgent
Blown, who have voted in right of theiroffices 1
(A general laugh.) I have the fatisfaltion, how-
ever, to Rate to you, that we have little to fear
either from Ministerial or Eceletiaftjtcal efforts. I
have this day poned double as many as Mr.Main-
waring, and I have no doubt of riling Rill higher
above him every day, until vi&ory Wall crown
your virtuous endeavours. Really I at at a lots
to conceive from what quarter Mr. Mainwaring's
friinds can contrive to draw any more voters ;
perhaps, having emptied Weftminfter Abbey and
the Public Offices, they may dor° the rear of this
curious ter( by the Rope Dancers from the Royalty
Theatre. I think the independent Freeholders of
this County Would feel alarm at the efforts thus
made to disfranclife thew, sad bad forward to
refill a projoft by whiek the !lodge of ever' mitai-
fterial Office would be enabled to overflew the real
Electors (aniatifis.) ID prefectrtiaa of the (Ohio
of calumny adopted by Mr. Mumma

as advertisement his appeared from Min this
morning, in which he repeals his complaint 011
thofe tumultuous proceedings which ;tie only heard
of by himfelf, and, with-his ufual modefty, dates
that finial order, ultich in my judgment reads
as little upon his Eledion as upon the change ti
the wind, would be overthrown by his defeat.—
It is unnecelfary for me to notice tittle infinuations
at any length. I know you muff defpife them,
and that you will not, on their account, relax any
exertion to promote the caul': of this Country, and
of humanity in general, in which we have volun-
tarily engaged outfelves ; a ceafe in which I am
fatisfied we cannot fail of fucceeding, if aftivity is
not wanting; and after the noble, unfolicited, and
certainly unbiaffed fupport which I have had the
honour toreceive from the independent part cf this
great County, it would be bale in me to lapel*
that in Inch a purfuit you can ceafe to he attire.
I feel '* unnecelfary to exprefs a hope that you will
not fail to preferve the fame fpirit and demeanour
which has heretofore dittinguilhed you ; and that
contemning the malignity of your enemies, you
will continue to belie their Render by your actions.
The two popular Candidates departed in their
ufual form from- the Hollings. They came into
Town nearly at the fame time ; Sir F. BURDITT
being fir& When Sir F. BURDETT came to
Knightfbridge, the mob, which then became very
numerous, took his horfes from his coach, and
drew it to his honk in Piccadilly. His coach was
dillinguifhedfrom other carriages by perfons Rand-
ing behind, and fitting on the box with large
branches of laurel in their hands which they waved
about. The band of mufic could not be heard
amidff the fhouts of the mob, which reached from
Knightfbridge to the middle of Piccadilly.
When Mr. Brats arrived at Sir FRANCIS Boa-
trr t.s hours,the mob took his horfes from his car-
riage, which they drew along to his houfe in St.
Jatues's-fquare.
A great number of Freeholders in the intereff of
Sir FRANCIS BURDETT and Mr. BENG, who refide
below London-bridge, were yefterday conveyed to
Brantford in two pleafure barges, attended by a
very excellent band of muftc. The ribbons they
wore being very confpicaous, they were cheered
by numbers on the different fhotts with hearty
huzzas and wifhes of fuctefs.

This morning, agreeably to public Advertifc-
ment, Lord Wty.y.tam Russet, Mr. Fox, and a
number of the Friends of Sir Faaacts By/Imre,
breakfalled at the Crown and Anchor Tavern, in
the Strand, whence at half pall twelve, they pro•
ceeded in grand cavalcade to the hitilings at Brent-
ford, accompanied by a body of Eleoors, to poll
for Sir FRANCIS BURDETT. Mr. FOR led the pro•
ceffion.

Coverfrav, JULY 24.—The ceremony of chair-

took place here on Thin filay. The Mayor and

in the piroceillon with their !!reamers and flags.—
The Members were in two fuperb chairs of liglit
blue fain, with canopies. and richly tiimmed
with a profufion of ribbons, the manufacture of
the place. The Band of the King's Dragoon
Guards, mounted on horfeback, each horfe led by 1
two dragoons, added much to the fplendour of
the fcene. In the evening there wag a very &thins
riot by the mob of the difappointel party,l:e..fdedl
by perfons who ought to be Aimed of their con-

and a few broken heads put an end to the bufuiefs. I
LLANDILO, JULY 24.." I told you I would
continue to give you an account of the progrefs
of the Mellon; I fit down to give you an account
not of its progrefs but &kg. I have teen many
corneas, but never one in which dexterity and trick
fucceeded fo well in protracting the progrefs of
a poll. You will (camel), believe,. that the la(l
fit days have been occupied in polling about 1200
Votes, And that in eight days but zoo° Votes have
been taken ; to-day about too only. The Par-
tiality has been moll grofs, and every poffible im-
pediment thrown in the way of the Blues, fince
Monday the firft day that they began to rife upon
the poll. They have at this time men remaining,
who have been here ever fince the firft day of the
poll, not being able to procure themfelves to be
polled, whilO the Reds have contrived to poll off,
aad they have been the lait three days (coming the
country in all diredions, bringing in all the (trap.
ling votes, good or bati, wherever they could find
them, and even emptying the Workhoufes for
that purpofe : their Votes are rejeded, but they
'promote the general purpofe of delay, and pre.
fetving a little while longer the majority upon the
poll. The main body of the Blues, the two
great interefls of the county, remain almoil en•
tire, whilft the Reds have been obliged to (train
every nerve, and even to poll their agents. The
object of the Reds teems to be, by all means to
prevent Mr. Payros's return, and from circum-
fiances not fafe to ftate here, they may fucceed by
a Scrutiny, which will certainly be granted them;
but he will, it is generally thought, be at the head
of the poll, if he is permitted to poll his votes,
though as the Reds are in poifeffion of the power
over the poll, it is doubted if he will be able, as
it goes on now, to poll his ftrengh within the fif-
teen days. The whole of it will certainly come
before the Houle, a fcene of the moft grofs par-
tiality and profligacy will beexpofed, and the actors
in it brought to punilliment. Mr. W. is about
170 a-head, but which all the tricks of his party
