The popular fpirit which has fhesm itfelf in the
country proves, that the fyllem purfued by the late
Milliners made a deep impreflion on the public
mind, and difpofed them to a moil vigorous exer-
tion for their own deliverance. Had the ambition
of individuals to procure Seats been at all equal to
the willies of the people, it is not too much to fay
that the numbers of the Oppofition would have
been doubled in the new Parliament. From the re-
turns already made above iwenty names are to be
added to the lin of thufe who have fliewn them-
hives the friends of our constitutional rights, and
of rational liberty ; and this has been the work of
the people themfelves. No Reps were taken to
ri,tife and animate them to a fenfe of their condi-
dition ; but, on the contrary, there was an unex-
ampled indifference as to the reprefentation, from
an idea of the apathy into which the people were
funk. Had a jun enimate been formed of their
temper, the confeqecnces would have been molt
favourable to the genuine interetts of the kingdom.
There are yet, however, noble opportunities for
popular triumph ; and we tr u R that Middlefex, Kent,
Norfolk, and Cambridgelhire, will follow the fpi-
sited example that the City of Norwich and lb
many other places have given. It is certainly fc,r
the real interas of the empire, that there fhould
always be a throng and refpeiaable Oppofition in
Parliament, whoever may be Minifter, and what-
ever may be his merits.
Mr. COKE and Sir Jacos ASTLEY were put in
nomination yetlerday at the King's Head, Yar-
mouth, for the county of Norfolk.

On Tuefday laff came on the eleaion for two
Burgefres to ferve the Borough of Liverpool in
Parliament. At the clofe of the poll on Thutfday
the numbers Were :

Gen. Garco;ene
Gen. Tarlcton

68') I Mr. Birch
• 452 Mr. Chalmers

Wednefday two Gentlemen attending the Huf
tins at Liverpool, had their pockets picked of
bank notes to a confiderable amount ; the offen•
dery have not yet been difeuvered.

It appears thlt in Dover the contell is carried
on With the greatell (pi) it by the refpeftive Candi•
dates. Voters are fent for f t,m the moll &dant
parts of the county, and tick perfons, who have
not left their beds for feveral months, have been
carried on hirers to the poll. This conten is fo far
fingular as it is regarded as.a battle between Mr.
ADDING TM and Mr. PITT.
Mr. the new candidate for Worceiler, in
order • clap an extinguilher upon all hopes of
fuccels A ich may be entertained by Mr. WIGLILY
and his 7. tcnd, has refolved to take down the Lon-
don Voters.

Mr. SHERIDAN, jun. and Mr. Octxruners
mean, it is Paid, to petition againft the (uccefsful
candidates for Lifiteard, on the ground of undue
influence.

Mr. MAITLAND has declared his intention to pe-
tition againil the return of Meffrs. DaNviturs and
Ilionak, at Chippenham, on the ground that fe-
veral of his votes were rejected as bad, although
they were good.
Sir WILLIAM MANNERS, it is Paid, will IMO pe-
tition for lichefter.
Mr. BROWNS and four other candidates, have
Mated for the borough of Callington, in Corn-
wall.—The Eledion came en yefterday.
The EleCtion for Coventry commenced on
Thurfday, and the Candidates having agreed to
poil each two and two, by rotation, the ntmoft
regularity prevailed. At the dote of the Poll
that d •y the numbers were—
Nah.nut jarerr,Efq. - lit I Wilberforce Bird, Eft!. 61
Capt Barlow - 61 Pcttr Moore, Efq. 6t
The Eleftion for Evefham is likely to continue
feveral days. There is as much fwearing as if the
country people had visited the Poll at Covent
Garden in former times. The Gaols are ranfacked
for Voters, and not a corner of London is left un.
knelled for an Eledor. At prefent the whole di-
redion of affairs is left to the Gentlemen of the
7.1 w ; fo that the Public may form a pretty good
judgment of the expence.
It is a difputed point with the Candidates, whe-
ther the Freeholders are entitled to vote, as has
been the cuftom. They have therefore agreed to
fuffer them to poll; but should their votes affed the
situation of any of the Candidates, the party ag-
grieved will afterwards invelligate the right.
The Rate of the Polls on Thurfday :
Mr. McDuff-Go 174 including 30 Freeholders.
Mr. Bruce Ibo 12 Ditto.
Mr. Howarth 115 4 Ditto.
The oppofition fet up by Captain PALMER for
the &rough of Plympton againft Mr. METCALFE
and Mr. GOULD, was altogether unexpected. He
marched into the Town, which he expelled to carry
by a coup de min, with colours flying, at the head
of his Friends.
Captain PALMER brought forward feveral Free-
men's forts with the Freemen in his intereft, the
former of whom were rejected by the Returning
Officer. The haft conteft for this Borough was in

Hnufe of Commons—" That the right of elation
of the Borough of Plympton, is in the Mayor,
Bailiffs, Freemen, and in the Eons of Freemen,
who, although they have a right to demand their
fitedom, have been refufed the fame." Upon this
refolution Captain PALNLIt means to petition.
Tae conteft at Lewes has been very warm, and
the fitccefsful candidates have (pared no means of
fecuring their elation• One voter not having the
cleat eft notions, after taking the oaths, was alked
who he voted for ? he laid, " Slillj.l.lllf and Co."
It was tolerably obvious who he meant, as Mr.
SHELLtY and Lord F. OSBORNE united their in-
terelts; but the anfwer not being fufficient, on be-
ing further prelred, he raid, " SHEERLY and Part-
ner." The poor man was fent up to vote for Mr.
S. and Lord F. 0. but en the way he forgot the
latter's name. and all that could be got from him
was," SHELLEY and Co."—" SHILLLY and Part-
ner." At lift Mr. KIM ~the unfuccefsfulCandidate,
who was in oppofitinn to the other two, of if
the Partner he meant was not Mr. Kam, ? The
man anfwered " Yes," and the vote was fo taken
down amidst burfts of laughter.
Mr. STIR H ex, the King's printer, comes in for
Wareham, in Oorfetfhire.

The pickpockct tribe were very bufy at the no-
mination day at Chelmsford, on Thurfday !aft :
fevcral Elks Gentlemen paid fmartly for ailerting
their independence, by this light, fingered levy, on
their watches and purfes.

Sir WATKIN Lewes did not appear at Guildhall
yefterday, having been confined ever fince he left
the huaings on Thurfday.
In the courfe of the poll for the Borough of
Southwark,the votes of a great number of perfons
have been difallowcd, on the ground of their not
paying the King's Taxes or Poor Rates. It ap-
peared that Mr. HEDGER brought forward thefe
perfons as the tenants of houfes belonging to him,
or his friends. They paid a fixed rent, and the
landlord compounded with the affeffors and the
parifh officers for the King's Taxes and Poor Rates.
Thefe are called farm vwes, and the Deputy Bailiff
declared them inadmiffible.
HEREFORD —The nomination of two Members to
reprefent this refpeaable City took place on Wed-
ncfday tall. After the ufual tOrmalities JOHN SCH-
DANORE, Efq. was propofcd by Dr. CAMPBELL,
one of the old& and moil venerable inhabitants of
the place. Mr. HATAID feconded the motion for
his nomination.

Mr. SYMONDS, the other. Member was next no-
minated by Mr. THOMAS Cooxa, which was fe•
conded by Mr. Alderman BARROW, in fpeeches ex-
prellivc of their entire approbation of his Parlia-
mentary conduit.

After a great burg of applaufe, the Candidates,
Mr. &VOA MOR F and Mr. Systowns, were imme-
diately declared duly defied without one diffentient
voice. After being chaired through the principal
(tracts, they adjourned to the Hotel, where they
dined and fpfnt the evening in the greaten fpirit
of conviviality and good humour.
MIDDLFSF.X ELECTION.—A circunillance rather
curiott, t,,,ilc place on Thoriday lag. The Candi-
dates for Mitilefex, Sir FRANCIS BURMITT, Mr.
Br v e, and Mr. MAINWARING, being refpe&ively
upon their canvafs, met at the fame moment at the
White Hart, Uxbridge, where they dined along
with a large company of their friends.
Cary or Loa nott.—Yeßerday at the dole of the
poll for the City of London, the numbers were :
, Ablenasa Conte 290 t B. Travers, Eli. . 1266
Price - a 760 Sir W. Lewes - 547
Curtis - 25,58 W. Luthingion - 14
Andcrfon zoo
Mr Alderman Comas laid, he had again to I
thank the Livery for placing him fo high on the i
poll. Words were infufficient to exprefs his ac-
knowledgments. He threw himfelf entirely on
their &ppm ; he had nothing to rely on but their
favour; and he hoped he fhould continue to the
hat moment to remain as high on the poll as he
did that day. (This addrefi was followed ly loud
flame of applaufe.)
Mr. Alderman CURTIS came forward to ad-
drefs the Livery, but the noife being fo great as
even to prevent him from hearing himfelf (peak,
he bowed with great good humour and retired.
Mr. T[& cis raid, while he acknowledged him.
Pelf infinitely obliged to the Eleaors of London
for their candour and liberality towards him. it
elk) became his duty to acknowledge. the obliga-
tion he was under to his ft iends who came forward
to fupport him, and had (hewn an attachment not
only to him, but a defire to preferve the rights,
and the free reprefer.tation of the City of London.
He thought himfeif hound to fay that he had,
fince the commencement of this Elation, been re-
ceived and treated in the molt honourable manner
by his fellow candidates. They had behaved to
him like Gentlemen, fuch as they were. Hitherto
they had been his friends—he mulled their condua
now would rivet and confolidate that friendthip in
a manner that it fhould never be remove]. He
mutt now tell the Livery that he felt himftlf bound
in duty not to call forth the exertions of his friends
any more, but that he Ihould retire from the con-
ten. (el loud esy of No, No, never, never. )-.He
(aid, lie hoped he (hould not incur the cenlure of
his friends for this voluntary at of his; and that
he fhould ever retain tht diem and regard of the
Liverymen of London. (This addreft was followed
by Ands of opplatfe, and all the other Carukelatesa
Mr. Traver: hy the Land.)
After half an hour had elapfed, during which
time the Livery waited with impatience to hear the
refult of this day's bufinefs.
Mr. Alderman Cohn at length came forward,
and laid, he was &fired by his colleagues to repre-
fent to the Livery, that a friend of Sir Watkin
Lewes, who had been abfent all that day,had hid
been requelted to wair on him, to know if he would
content to the poll being doled, and tha: Sir Wat-
kin returned an anfwer in which he refuted to con-
fent. On that account the Sheriffs would he on.
der the neceffity of keeping the poll open till Tuef-
day next, the day on which it molt dole according
to law. But he, and the three•other candidates
- ae....1 5.:,..5..a a- _ _u___ __ .. - . - - -

rymen in their intereft might not give themfelves
the trouble of attending any more to vote for them.
They were perfeftly well difpofed in civility to
wards each other ; and were it not for what he

mua call the perverfenefs of one Candidate, they
were ready to fave all the trouble and inconveni-
ence with which a furtheitontinuance of the elec-

tion mutt be attended. The conteft, with refpeCt
to themfelves, was entirely at an end; they begged
that the Elestors might not be at the trouble of
coming there any more.—( Loud afiplaye.)
The further proceedings were then put off to
nine o'clock this morning.

Some of Aldermen Co- RTI s's friends teemed de.
firous that he might addrefs the Livery. The
worthy Alderman Paid, he was ready to (peak, if
they would hear him, and was about to make a

fpeech, when, in conkuence of a fuggeflion from
the Sheriff, he Lid, " gentlemen, tEe Hall is ad

journed, and I cannot fpeak." This laconic ad-
drefs was received with applaufe, and the Candi-
dates and Eleaors immediately difperfed.
WIITMINSTER.—The utmoft anxiety prevailed
for the refult of the poll of yefterday, every exer-
tion had been made by the new Candidate and his
friends, to promote his intereft.
During the poll, a perfon whore name we un- ,
derftood was Lowndes, came forward on the Holt-
' ings, and addrefling the Electors, proceeded to
cenfure Mr. Fox for coalefcing with Lord Gardner
—it was, he Paid, an unnatural combination of
oppofite interefts, calculated only to opprefs a
i Candidate who had come forward on the princi-
ples of Independence.—A coalition between Mr.
Fox and Mr. Graham would have been more rc-

concileable with the fentiments on which they
flunded their mutual pretenfions to public favour.
He was proceeding, when

Mr. Browning, the High Bailiff interfered, and
reprefented to him the extreme impropriety of in-
terrupting the poll, by addreffing the Eleflors at
Co unkafonable a period. If he had any thing he
withed to communicate, it would be aeting with
more regularity to wait till after four o'clock, when
he would be free to offer his fentiments.

Mr. O'Brien, in the name of Mr. Fox,
dif-
claimed every idea of a coalition between that
Gentleman and Lord Gardner.

A (mart well dreffed Spark was deteded pick-
ing a Gentleman's pocket on the Hußings.
Two Jews made ufe of the molt petulant and
provoking language to the High Bailiff, with
which his patience and moderation for a length of
time remained unruffled. But as nothing could
filence their petulance the High Bailiff was oblig-
ed, in concurrence with the general cry and ap-
probation of every decent perfon prefent, to order
them to be expelled from the Huflings, which
order the Conflables immediately executed. Ole
r of them, however, returned by another door.

A perfon, we believe Mr. Willock, appeared in
front of the Huflings, and gave his vote in favour
of Mr. Fox ; when he had done fo, he Aced Mr.
Fox for whom he fhould give his fccond vote ?
Mr. Fox replied—for whom you pleafe Sir.

The clock [biking foot, Nvaa the %nal fur the
renewal of thofe fportive effufions which generate
fuch afund of mirth and jocularity. Very few of
the remarks of the populace applied to Admiral
Gardner, all we could diftinguifh were-4, Charley
put Mm down in the hold—dap the hatchway: ou him-
-0 the Gardner—the Cabbage-merchant.
Mr. Graham was much applauded, and but few
farcafms were direCted again[ him. The objet
of the abufe of the mob was Mr. Fox—/Vo coali-
tion! and a thoufand abufive remarks continued to
be lavithed by the populace on him, till the High
Bailiff made a return of the hate of the pol—
-1 The numbers were as follow :
For Mr. Fox ar94 I Lord Gardner zon I John Graham 583.
Mr. Fox came forward. and Paid, Gentlemen,
for the bandfome fupport which you continue
to honour me with, and by which I am kept at
the head of the poll, I have again to return you
my warmett thanks.
Lord GARDNER entreated his friends to con-
tinue the fupport with which they had hitherto
honoured him; confident that a continuance of
that fupport would ultimately place him in the
high fituation to which he afpired.
Mr. GRAHAM.— Gentlemen, am happy to in-
form you, that this day I have been honoured with
FORTY votes more than I had yellerday; and 1
thould have had thirteen more if my friends were
permitted to come up about the dole of the poll ;
in short, votes pour in upon me in fuch numbers
from all quarters, that I thould be the moft un-
grateful man in the world, if I did not live my
friends and the friends of Freedom a fair oppor-
tunity of expreffing their fentiments. I am, how-
ever, fill anxious to preferve the City of Weft-
minfter from any unnecelfary inconvenience or
trouble ; and under that folicitude, I have pro-
pofed to Lord Gardner to clofe the poll on Mon-
day next; to which propofition, if he does not
accede, I am confident that your fpirit, when pro-
' perly routed, will fupport me in fuch a manner as
to leave no apprehenfion about the iffue of the
conteft.—ifolaufiv--Don'tgive it in Graham.
Mr. Fox again came forward and faid,—Gen-
; tlemen, as I am Cony the prefent conteft ever be-
! gan, fo am I anxious that it thould be clofed as
Ipeedily as poffible. I therefore with it may ter-
tminate to-morrow or Monday, and under the in-
fluence of that with, I entreat the EleCtors may
come forward as fpeedily as poffible, and decide
the matter for whatever Candidate they may be
difpofed to vote ; any unnecetfary prolongation of
the conteft can be produelive of no advantage to
any party or individual.
The rival Candidates departed each to his own
Committee Room, and vollies of grape (tot cele-
brated the glories r.f the fourth day.
Tuefday Mr. PITT left Cambridge on a vifit to
Mr. SMITH, at Shortgrove, in Bair.
All the Papers have made a miftake refpeaing
