GENERAL ELECTION%

TO THE WORTHY AND INI/EPENDENT
LIVERY OF LONDON.
Gtziawasim,
IN consequence of the very flattering reqnest made
to me by a Deputation from a Aleeting of Merchants,
Bankers, Traders, and others, held this morning at the City of
London Tavern, I am induced to make you a tender of my
services to REPRESENT this ancient and loyal City in PAR-
LIAMENT.

Aware of the magnitude of this high aad important Tryst, I
shoodd perhaps hesitate to aspire to such an honour, were it r.ot
for the great respectability of those friends whose partiality has
caned on me to come forward. I cannot, however, resist :al

litpplication founded on motives so honourable to myself, and
which implies a belief that I can render essential services to my
fellow Citizens. '

Of my loyalty and zealous attachment to our ex Bleat Con-
sdtudoe in (lurch and State, lam proud to believe that no
profemion on my part is itecessary ; and of the independence es-
medal to the character of an honest Representative of the
people, no man an have a more meatiositimm impression than
4)4111f. It becomes we, however, after the peculiar call that
bar been midterm sae, to declare.duit re the Interests of this
great bletropolis will demand the best exertions of my warmtst
zeal, so I shall, in an especial manner, devote my time and abi-
lities to the Cosmaactsx objects of the Empire, with which my
long habits of business have rendered me intimately acquainted.

Your kindness, I doubt not, will make allowance fair the dif-
ficulties under which, from the shortness of the time, I must
necessarily labour, in paying you those perwaal respects which
my inclination would otherwise have prompted; but you will
find me oa the day of election at my post on the hustings, whore
I earnestly hope to be honoured with your cull-rage.
I am, Gentlemen,
Your most obedient and Laidiftd s rvalt,
TIIO3IAS W i Ot.
