means.
Col. JOIIIIION said, that if h• thonght the number of free-
holders who had already polled spoke the sense of the
comity against the gentleman whom he bad propnsed for
their choice, he would readily acknowledge it. He was,
however, far from thinking that the sense of the county
was yet expressed von the poll. They were on the ninth
day of the contest. and up to that time there bad not keen
polled, by some hondreds. as many as had Yoked in the
three days of the last contest. He now felt that the majo-
rity on that occasion, which had. returned Mr. Chaplin and
Mr. Pelham, was not at all decisive of the sense of the
county ; and he was certain that had the poll continued
apen any longer, it would have had a very different terrni-
sewn. He co .14 not think that 5,000 out of upwards of
11,000 freeholders. at all decided the sense of the county in
a election. lie could assure the freeholders. thst he hail
letteralfrom several towns in the county,stating that upwards
of 1,000 freeholders were ready to come up to vote for Sir J.
Tberold. if they had the weans of conveyance ; but let him
not be tnisonderstood, for he did not wish to deceive any
one. He did not say that these freeholders would come.—
lie only meant that they would come if he had the means
of bring them. The contest was begun not by him, but'
by the Baronet (Sir W. Ingilby.) lie had acted from
principle. from the love of the indeoendeace of the county,
and to prevent their representation and that of other great
counties from being decided in the drawing room of a Peer.
(Cheers.) He would now conclude with the words of a
Right Honourable Secretary of State, and say "Come
hat will. come what may, here will l stand oat to the last."
(Cheers )
Sir Win. Nattier again addressed the meeting, aed said he
felt himself imperatively called upon to say a few words more ;
and first, as to the insinuation contained in the ob tions of
his lion. Friend (Colonel Johnson.) It was again charged
that he was the nominee of a Peer. This he again denied ;
but if (ana hr qualified it with an if). if he were, what was the
situation of him who came before him to offer himself for the
county? To him the objection of being the nominee of a Peer
applied with double force.
Colonel Jonsisom said he would not detain the eneetingmore
then a moment. Sir W. logithy (continued the Honour. 'de
Gentleman) hes put it in a candid and manly manner, whether,
if Sir R. Heron had been supported by my Lord Yarborough,
I would have voted for him? I answer, that if Sir William
Ingilby were my own hrother, I would act on the present oc-
casion as I have done; end further. I will aisnre you. that
if I had seen one canvassing letter from my Lord Yarborough
io favour of Sir H. Heron, I would not give him my vote.—
'Cheers.)
The meeting now broke up.

;ter the lapse of the usual time proclamation
was again made. It appeartd, however, that others besides
the committee of the Thorold party were to be consulted.
Tim second proclamation was abont to be made. when
another voter appeared. This would. of course, relnire
the proclamations to be commenced de nem It was now
made known to the Sheriff, that some two or three persona
is the yard were heard to declare that they would bring a
voter-at the stated intervals; and by this means they would
keep the poll dpen till Monday.
The Mau Setcater ordered it to be proelaimed, that if there
were any freeholders then present they should came to the
poll, as it would close peremptorily at four o'clock.--This
had the desired effect. The regular proclamations were min
• thrice repeated, at an Interval of a quarter of an hour between
each, and no other voter presenting himself, the poll finally
closed at four.
To present any misconception, we think it necessary to
state, that none of the gentlemen of the Thorold Committee
had any thing to do with the attempt to protract the contest,
after the arrangement which they made in the Sheriff's
room.
As soon its the books were made up, the numbers appeared
to be On the day's. Poll,

Proclamation was then made in the usual form, declaring in
the name of the Sheriff, that Sir William Amcotts Ingilby,
Bart., was duly elected. The proclamation was received with
loud cheering.
Sir Wu. INGILer came forward. and returned thanks froths
honour conferred upon him.
Col. Jon NsoN —Brother freeholdere---Your votes have
returned Sir W. Ingilby as yoar representative in Parlia-
ment. Of.this 1 complain nothing; but it is a little sin-
gular that we should lose by winning; for we have on this
day's poll a majority of 2t 1 must admit, however, that
we were run dry (Laughter )1 said to you the otherday, that
if we did not conquer, we would die in the pit ; and we are
now dead. (Cheer,' and laughter.) 1 am proud that we
have brought to the poll 1,500 independent freeholders, to
show the spirit of the county. That this has been done
with little expense. you shall prigs ; for 1 pledge myself to
state to you hereafter every item of expense which has been
incorrect on this occasion.. For Sir W. Ingilby 1 feel tba
most sincere respect; and as proof of my disposition. I
have on objection to shake him cordially by the hand.—
[Here the •Hon. Bart. and the Gallant Colonel warmly

Johnson continued-1 will now, gentlemen, say a word or

Sir Cites. ANDERSON next addressed the meeting, awl
briefly thanked them for the high honour they had con-
ferred on the Hon. Hart. whom he had proposed for their
choice; and he hoped that the 3,816 voters who bed come
forward on this occasion would be ready to support his

PARIS PAPERS.

FROM .T 412 *OFFICIAL PART 011 Tat MONITICIR OF

FRIDAY.
MADRID, Nov. 2-I.—Though a change ()Isom Ministers
is spoken of, nothing is
yet certain, because the Roy-al de-
cree on the formation of the Council of Ministers makes
no change in the members composing it. The Council
meets daily, and we expect with impatience the happy re-
soli of its sittings. A good plan of finance is highly ne-
cessary to strengthen the restoration.
The only object that the Government should propose is
to regulate the expenditure by the receipts, and not the
resources by the expenses ; to observe the greatest economy
in the salaries of public officers, uow that the revolution has
impoverished Spain and lost our colonies. The King has
given the example of economy, and it is proved that since
his accession, be has not spent, one year with another, the
moderate civil list assigned him by the Cortes —a fact
which should confound the calumniators of our monarch.
We have wore Generals than soldiers, and art array of
officers in the finance department who consume all the
revenue. Those two branches require the strictest economy.
It isthis moment reported that the Marquess of Matatlorida
is arrived at Madrid.
NoveMßeß 26.--General Bourmont has arrived at Ma.
drid,and taken the command of the troops ; be has immedi-
ately opened a correspondence with the Spanish civil and
military authorities and the French commanders of the
fortresses.
The Count de Fuentes, though very young, has sunk
under ao inflammation of the ctie.t, The I Wien actress
Sala, lilt widow, is pregnant ; the child sill inherit all his
estates and titles.
Novetasse 27.—The Govern-nent is seriously occupied
in the decree of amnesty. It is affirmed that it WKS pro-
posed to the King to accept the ./ froacesorlos, but his
Majesty answered, that as, to his knowledge, there were
many sincere friends of legitimacy among them, he ought
to forget the unhappy times when they had incurred his
displeasure.
M. Pozzo di Borg() will depart, it is said, in four or five
days. His conferences with his Majesty have lately been
longer and more frequent, lint nothing transpires. IVe
bear no more of the journey to the Escurial.
Paulino Larallo, said to be one of the assassins of the
unfortunate Vinuessa is arrested, as also Manuel Santuria.
son of the revolutionist of the same name, anti Minister of
the Interior of Madrid.
Novenae,' 28.—A despatch from Baron d'Eroles of the
18th says, that after a conference with General Llobera, the
division of that General, 5,000 strong, submitted to the
King, and the Boron, having drawn them up in order of
battle, received their oath of allegiance to the King.
PARIS. Dec. 5 —The Coors of Cessation has rejected
Castaing's appeal.
