of the proceedings of this metting ht.for...our
lteadct s

The Mayor being prerent, was called to the
chair. Mr. 2:is ItY PitOTHF Aoethen Cattle intWa'
a:,d faiJ, a that the general indignation excited by
the attempt to impute tipi.n the Electors a.Gentl,..-
man, uriconneCted in any way with them, afford-
ed a well-grounded hope, that it was not yet t,.1
late to oppofe an egethial refinance to a proceed-
ing, lo derogatory to the character of the city, and
fo difgraceful to themfelves. He craned, that any
fecret influence which might have been employe,l
to bias and cuntroul the public opinion, would be
immediately defeated. by fame Gentleman of cha-
rather and independance being put in nomination,
who w.ts conneeted with the city, and who would
do jultice and honour to its reprefentation. He
bole no perfimal animofity towards Sir F. EDEN
on the contrary, he believed him to be a man of
family, of talents, and of refpeEtability : but he oh-
jetted to the manner in which he had been brought
forward, and the means that had been taken to
fecure his EleEtion." This fpeech being favoura-
bly received, EVAN Remus, Efq. was put in no.
mination by Mr. PHILLIP PROTNEROE, and fecond-
ea by Mr. R. CASTLE.—His name was'received

tient hand or voice appeared.
Mr. BAILLIE having accepted the nomination,
was accompaii:d on Tuefday morning, from his
houCe in Park-row to the Exchange, by a nio,k
numerous and relpedable body of Gentlemen an I
Citizens in the Whig intereft. He there ezprelfei
his gratitude to the Citizens for the flattering mark
of preference with which they had honoured him,
and which, from its unanimity, he could nor de-
cline: and that having accepted it, no oppolitiGa
could induce him to abandon their cattle.
He then proceeded to the Huftiniv, at the
Guildhall, where he was nominated by the Mayor,
who, in a very appropriate fpeech, adverted to
the well-founded 'claims of Mr. BAILER, to the

confidence of his Fellow-Citizens. The nomina-
tion was feconied by Mr. Pitorit kiwi. The She-
riffs next proceeded to a Phew of hands, when Mr..
Batt-Liz and Mr. BILIGGE were declared dulv
ele3ed, and were greeted by the meeting with
unbounded applaufe—Mr. BRAGGE receiving ft our
the Gentlemen of every party, thole marks of
gratitude and refpeelt, to which, by the uniform
tenor of his condud in Parliament, he is to juliy
entitled.

On the next morning, the Members were chair-

ous and moil refpatable body of Mr. Bei ttt
