TO Tug WORTHY AND INDEPENDENT LIVERY
OF THE CITY OF LONDON.

rs LL r. LL s,
INVITF:D by a highly respectable body of the
LIVERY to offer myself a CANDIDATE:. to he re-
termed one of your Representatives in Parliament, at the
ensuing ileflefal Election, it would ..svour too much of ar-
fectition were I to attempt to conceal the satisfaction I de-
rive from so flattering a compliment, and I no longer delay
the public avowal of my fissions wish to 111 the ItsinueraMe
station to which my attention is directed.
My ardent friends have. I free, by the encomiums which
their Resolutions have connected with my mime, been
ht-
-leced to judge of me too favourably; to those I Isere unen
and other friends, who, in a manner so honouricdt. ow,
have cireco.i stepped forward to make known my
aid to promise me their support. I return toy v.arenest
thanks, suit entreat them to continue their exertion‘.
do sot yield to any man in a faithful attachment to the
Sovereign, or in admiration of the Constitution ; soil I ven-
ture to express with confident-a, that. should my •irorts be
crowned with &access, I shall he found equally the Supporter
of the just Prerogatives of the Crown, and the firm Defender
of the Rights of the People.
I am aware what little dependence is generally to he
placed upon public addresses. and I would therefore refer
you to en) past conduct as the hest surety for my future in-
tegrity.
I have derived the greatest satisfaction in the assurance
of the favour of Gentlemee of the most different political
impressions. without departing frem those principles a hich
have ever influenced my conduct.
Standing on ground truly independent. and unconnected
with any other Candidate, my reliance is on the greet body
of the Livery ; and from them I anticipate the complete ae-
complishment of my object.
The important duties attached to the Chief Magistracy of
I Ills City demand the greatest portion of my time ; should I.
IhiNkore, be enable to pay my personal respects to all the
Illuises. I hope their liberality will accept as an apology
pinnore of my official engagements.
inlik great respect. I have the honour to be, Gentles's,
Iththr kithful friend and servant,
