ELECTION OF TOWN COUNCILLORS.

lIE COMMITTEE appointed at a numerous and respect-
...lL able MEETING of Merchants. Shopkeepers and Trades-
men of Liverpool, held at the Golden Lion, on the 2Gth of Octo-
ber last, for the purpose of considering the steps to be taken for
the Election of fit and proper persons to be COUNCILLORS
of this Borough, have delayed adopting any measures towards
the accomplishment of the object of their appointment until
the limits of the Wards were publicly known. They considered
that any appeal to the Inhabitants previous that announce-
ment would be a premature agitation of asu ect, which, unne-
cessarily and unfortunately for the tranquil' y of the town, has
been converted into a political question.
This Committee, however, without wis gto dictate in the
slightest degree to their fellow-townsine and anxious only for
the Election of a Codicil which shall represent the interest
of the great body of the community, wf d venture to address a
few words to the Municipal Voters at t s important period.
In the first place, they woull earnestly invite them to the con-
sideration of the question, uninfluenced by political feelings, and
to view it, not as one upon the decision of which, the superiority
of Conservatives or of Reformers, the defeat of this or the success
of that party depended, but as a question affecting, and affecting
local interests of paramount importance—the good gos emo-
llient of the town—the honest management of the corporate
estate—the impartial selection of public officers—the security
of the Creditors of the Corporation—the security of the Lessees
—and the progress of local improvement.
They cannot see why the alleged defects or errors of the pre-
sent Corporations arebrought into the discussion of this question.
If it be for the purpose of inducing a belief that defects and er-
rors in future are to be prevented only by the Election of Coun-
cillors of opposite politics to the majority of the present Council,
anti that good management can only be obtained by reposing
the Corporate trust so the hands of the Opponents of the present
Body, they would remind their fellow-townsmen, that their best
protection will exist, not in the politics of the predominant party,
be they Conservatives or Reformers, but in the Constitution of
the Council itself. Not self-elected, it will be chosen by the Bur-
gesses at large; its members will only remain in office for a
limited period ; its proceedings will be at all times open to pub-
lice inspection; and, therefore, the evils of a self-elected body
cannot, under any circumstances, possibly exist.
And this Committee would ask, for what good purpose is it
attempted to array against each other those two great classes,
" Merchants" and "Tradesmen," upon whose mutual good feel-
ing and co-operation the happiness and prosperity of the corn-
niunity so essentially depend? Is it wise to promote this disunion,
to engender a spirit of discord, which, rankling throug_hout the
whole year, will be publicly exhibited at every annual Election,
and which will only tend to the mutual injury of those whom,
for the first time in this town, it is attempted to brie g into hos-
tile collision ?
-1

..... .
The Committee, therefore, now appeal to the good sense of
their fellow townsmen ; they urge them to unite in the selection
of upright and efficient Councillors; they do not point to thein
the leaders of any political party, or call upon them to exclude
the professors of auy religious creed, but they invite them to
make the character of the individual for respectability, industry,
and independence. whatever, be his station in life, the test of
his fitness for the office of Councillor. .

FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE.

NEWS FROM SPAIN

PARIS,Nov. I.—A telegraphic dispatch from Bayonne, dated
28th of October, announces, that "according to the carlist
bulletins, Vittoria was besieged from the 19th, and that on the
2241 it was still the object of a vigorous attack.
. . .

" Some information, still mote certain, announces that their
artillery only went as far as Mondragon, and that it returned
on the 20th to Onate, to which place Don Carlos was to retire,
in consequence of the arrival of Cordova at Miranda.
" Discord reigns around the Pretender, who has disgraced the
General Eguia. It is said that the general has addressed to him
an energetic, representation.
The National Guard of Barcelona says, that out of 50,000
muskets to be sent by the English government to Spain, 10,000
are destined by the Spanish government for the Christinos in
•

atalonia.
A letter from Port Vendres of the 25th inst. says, that the
Carlists in Catalonia have not been been defeated at Vich, as
alleged a few days since by the French papers. The Navarrese
battalions charge the Christinos in Catalonia at the point of the
bayonet. They only carry two catridges with them, and the
moment both are fired, they rush on with their fixed bayonets
on the enemy.

The Gazette says—" Private letters from Madrid inform us
that M. Mendizabal avails himself of his difficult position to
prevail on all fractions of the liberals to support him. The op-
position procuradores, as they arrive from Paris, are submitted
to a sort of fascination. E. Mendizabal has golden promises
for all. He makes them believe that he has no need of extra-
ordinary imposts, nor of new loans! The patriotic contributions
and the sale of the property of the clergy are to be enough for
all. - He has had the tact of providing for the wants of the
moment, and the chests which were empty when he arrived are
now well supplied. In fine, M. Mendizabal promises to arm
and equip 100,000. The first vote he will demand of the con-
gress will be an extraordinary levy of troops. By means of
his promises and his brilliant hopes the premier hopes to avoid
the necessity of revoking the Estatuto Real. The juntas have
made their submission with an understanding that they may
again appear in case of necessity. The 16th Nov. will soon be
here, and then we shall see M. Mendizabal at work. If he be
not the most able minister which Christina has hitherto had, at
any rate he is the most adroit, fur his lies obtain some credit."
The Echo del Conimerciu of Madrid, of. the 19th instant, in-
forms us that public opinion in Andalusia is now in favour of
the Queen Regent, and that the new captain general of Va-
lentia has been received by the inhabitants, troops, and National
Guards, in the most satisfactory manner. The same journal
protests against the alleged right of the juntas to make imposts,
and that the juntas had no right to name certain individuals to
certain posts without the consent of the government. The Eco
maintains that the right of naming to government posts belongs
to the queen, but expresses its wish to see those pointed out by
the juntas confirmed in their appointments by the government.
