The following curious production appeared in the
Monies' Chronicle of this morning :
weave OF A LETTER FROM A GENTLEMAN AT
NIGINGATE TO HIS FRIEND AT TORE.
g‘ MT DEAR Faraxee—Alarmed, as every good
subject must yet continue to be, at the invasion of
our beloved country, I hasten to give you, I hope,
the first account of a death's blew to the hopes of
our malignant and disappointed enemy.
44 In hopes of obtaining possession of our proud,
and, I trust, immortal capital, he collected his whole
force near Battle Abbey, where the fate of England
was once decided ; adversely then, but now, thank
Heaven, redeemed by the brightest day that ever shone
upon this island. Our army, in which all our troops
not upon foreign seerice were engaged, posted itself
between the French and London, to oppose their
progress. To attempt to describe the bravery and
skill of every Officer end soldier would be sufficient
to set up a wholesale Bookseller, as it would contain
the biography of a hundred thousand people. The
battle was obstinate and sanguinary, but termi-
nated happily, by the highest stroke of military
skill ever accomplished iu the face of an invader.
—General ----- filed of to the right and left,

leaving London set as a kind of a trap for pre-
samption to fall into. By this grand manceuvrte
which was instantly made known in town by tele-
graphic signals, the inhabitants of London had an
opportunity of what may rather be considered as a
triumphant procession with their wives, children,
and property, than as an ignominious or perilous re-
treat. The Bank took the lead, the Bullion still re-
maining in it, was carried off with ease in the first
hackney-coach in the Poultry, and to prevent any
attempts of evil-minded persons to pursue so rich a
spoil over the river, the Bank-notes, of which there
were enormous piles cbllected, were burned upon the
three bridges of London, Westminster, and Black-
friars, which not only obstructed the multitude, but
were hailed by the populace with shoots of No

Sir, In other contests persons in opposition to Ministers
might have made as formidable a stand, but then
they were supported by other powerful interests.
Ile, on the contrary, had stood as one of them-
selves, without a single interest to back him, trust.
ing only to the free suffrages of his fellow-citizens;'
and though thus 'tending in opposition to all the
great bodies, he had polled a greater number than

election. If to this was added, that, of the persons
who must have polled for him front principle, up-
wards of 1000 had been obliged also to vote for Mr.
Alderman Atkins from influence, this would clearly
shew that the voice of time Livery was with him, and
with the cause of independence. He should be at
his post on any future occasion, to give the Livery
an opportunity of asserting their rights, and had no
doubt whatever that their nest exertion would be a
successful one.
Mc. Alderman Woos also returned thanks. He,
had stood a Candidate in consequence of the call
made on him, and he should be at his post at the
command of the Livery, whenever they should again.

The Election was then adjourned till Wednesday,

MIDDLESEX Ectcrios.—The Election of two Re-
presentatites in the ensuing Parliament, for the
county of Middlesex, came on yesterday at Brent.
ford. The Sheriffs appeared on the hustings exaetly
at ten o'clock. The usual proccediugs having been
gone through,
Mr. Joiix BACON said, he appeared there for the
sixth time on occasions similar to the present, and he
could not but feel an anticipation of thirsame suc-
cess, when he considered the unanimity he had found
wherever he had been. The Gentleman whom he
was about to propose was well known to all of them
as a "teatly, upright, and independent Representative
in Parliament. He had never been guilty of any de-
reliction of public principle, connected as they were,
with a due regard for the rights of his Constituents
and the Constitution under which they lived. Ile
should conclude by proposing to them Mr. George
Byng as a fit person to represent this • opulent, lode.
pendent, and free county.--LAfflause.]
Mr. PLAISTOW TRAPAUD seconded thenomlnation.
Sir WILLIAM Ginnons came forward to propose to
them their tried servant, William Mellish, Esq.—
[llisses aped approbation, interspersed with cries of
Threadneedle-street.]—They had already conferred
on Mr. Mellish the highest honour which it was pos-
sible to confer, that of being their Representative in
Parliament; and he confidently trusted, that during
the period he had served them, he had not been
found deficient in that great trust confided to him.—
He bad supported every measure which had a ten.
dency to exalt this country to the highest pitch of
glory ; he had supported those measures which en-
abled the Marquis of Wellington to resist and over-
come the Corsican Despot, who had vainly boasted
that he would drive the English into the sea, and
who, instead of fulfilling this insolent threat, had
been successively driven by us from Salamanca, Ma-
drid, Seville, and Cadiz. Such were the measures
supported by Mr. Mellish ; and he therefore pro-
posed him as a Candidate every way deserving of
their suet' —[Shouts of applause itslernsingkd
with hisses.] • Mr. Lavine, theafembe? for Bramber, seconded
the nomination. The Iron. Gent. who had proposed
Mr. Mellish for a third time to them had eapressel
himself in so eloquent a manner, that very little in-
deed was left for him to say. He was happy, how-
ever, to have this opportunity of bearing his testi-
mony to the vigilance with which Mr. Mellish had
always attended to the interests of the county of
Middlesex. Indeed_ he felt confident that no per-
son ever applied to Mr. Mellish who had not met with
a ready attendance from that Gentleman. If there
were any among them disappointed with his public
condfict, he would take upon hint to assure them,
that no man could possibly be mere independent in
his principles, and more superior to the influence of
corruption.—( Who voted for the Duke of York ?)
Mr. Mellish had every claim to their affectionate re-
gard—far he lived among them, and was always'
most attentive to their coucerus ;Land therefore to
their enlightened judgment and favourite would coo.
