TO WILLIAM WI

HAVING obferved by the Public Prints. that you
arc likely to be engaged in a contelt fur the County of York,
I adopt this public mode of expreffing my fentiments, that they
may be underftood to corrcfpond with thole of fevers' friends with
whom I have converfed, who are, like myfelf, Freeholders of the
County.

. .
I (hall not hditate to declare, that the Man, who has for fo long
a courfe of years ttruggied through difficulties and prejudices, the
molt dikouraging,ln the caufe of Humanity. is entitled to the con-
fidence and fupporf of his Country. For that realise I tenths- you
my Vote. For the fame reafon alto, conlidering Lord Mir row as
an early and undifguifcd Advocate of a Caufe, fo jai), dear to

As I feel a fineere intereft in the honour and welfare of my na-
tive county, I &mid rejoice to fee the Patron, with a lifciple of
African Freedom, conjoined, by the Voice of the People, in its

I am 3W are that the third Candidate has alto many claims upon

BUENOS AYRES AGAIN CAPTURED.

" PENZANCE, MAY is.

•" Arrived this morning the Portuguefe brig Anna
and Jofeph, GRocH Mailer, from Madeira in eleven
days, bound to Peteriburgh : one of the paffengers
vitho Landed from her Dates, that on the ath ult.
his Majelly's fhip Svatt.t.a arrived at Madeira, the
Captain of which informed him, that he (poke Sir
&omit. HOOD, ernizing off the Canaries, by whom
he was informed, that BUENOS Areas was recaptured
ty our Troops."

The reports circulated yellerday, in confequenee
of the arrival of Mr. STUART from the continent, of
an atlitin having taken place between the French and
the Ruffians, proves unfounded, though Rated in Va-
rious private letters from Yarmouth as well as in the
public letter polled at Lloyd's.
Mr.STUART came from St.Peterfburgh,andbronght
with him important difpatches for Government. They
relate not, however, to any battle, but to the line of
condo& purfued by Aufiria at the prefent crifis. Some
of the particulars have tranfpired, and are reported
to be as follows:—That the
_ E MPELOR Of AUSTRIA
had entered upon a long juflification of his conduel,
in the Meeting of the States of Hungary ; and that
the refult was an animated anfwer on the part of the.
States, in which they commend the prudent Neu-
trality hitherto obferved by the EMPEROR ; exhort
him to continue in the fame line of condo& ; and
offer him all the refources of the Rate—the lives and
fortunes of the Hungarians—to enable him to main-
tain the fame dignified pofition. This State Paper
is laid to conclude with fupplicating his IMPERIAL
MAJESTY to propofe his mediation to each of the Bel
ligerent Powers ;—and to enable him to make this
offer with effect, the land tax has been doubled for
three years, and the Hungarian armed mafs is to be
immediately called out. It is further Rated, that the
EMPEROR of Antrrasa bad in confequence cffered his
mediation, and had qconded, with a very powerful
recommendation, fome certain propofals which had
been made by the Emperor NavoLima.
The Emperor ALEXANDER, from refpea to the re-
Commendation of his IMPELS/IL AUSTRIAN MAJESTY,
had deemed it incumbent on him to futimit thofe
propofals to the feveral Allied Powers ; M. !Wrest,-
rims bad in confequence been fent to his SwEDISH
MAJESTY ; Mr..Svoarr had been fent to England;
and the ArcbdulteCoNSTANTlNs was going to Vienna.
Nov ossxr zOFF, it was reported, was about to be fent
to the Emperor Navoxsos ; and the Duke De LIAN.
COURT to the Ruffian Headquarters.
There is Rill, however, a eircumflance of more
importance :—the Court of Vienna is Paid to have
made an indire& declaration, that Turkey' is her
Ally, and in this charaBer has offered her Negutia
tion between Ruffia and the Porte.
Such is reported to be the fubhance of the ail
patches received. How far this may be perfectly
coffee we cannot determine, but we are inclined on
the whole, to believe that Auhria has been, by fume
means or other, induced to liilen to certain propofals
made to her by NAPOLEON, and has in confequence
adopted a line of condo& ernharraffing to the Allies.
Orders were yeflcrday difpatched by Government
to the Commiffioners of the Cufloms, to be forwarded
to all the outpnrts, for laying an embargo upon all
'hips and vale's belonging to the Grand Seignior; and
alto from the Admiralty, to the Commanders of
King's Nips and privateers, to detain and bring in all
were's, prt'perty, &c. hclorging to the lubjeils of the
Ottoman Porte.
