E!IRTER.—The election for this city will commence
,at the Huildhall on Thnrsday morning next. Mr. Cosy-
, tenor has been p n led paving his personal respects to

not be sufficiently recovered no be here even at the time
Of the election ; hut front the lib seal manner in which his
claims on the electors hays been recognised, during the
active canvass of his zealous friends, in the early part of
the week, his return to Parliament, as our Representative,
is rendered certain. Mr. Newman commenced his canvass
with a large party of his friends oh Tuesday morning, who
have stated that his reception has been very favourable. A
strong party, determining to bring forward a third Candi-
date, have held during the week several meetings for that
purpose: at the first, on Monday, it was resolved to apply
to our noble neighbour, Lord Graves, but it was ascer-
tained next day that he had a previous arrangement for
Illilbourne Port, on the interest of his noble brother-in-
' law, the Marquis of Anglesey. At a second and very
numerous meeting at the Hotel, on 'ruegmlay, Thomas
Tamer. Esq., proposed Sir John Leman Rogers as a fit
and prolwr person to represent this city in Parliament,
which was unanimously assented to, and a requisition
roomneneed, inviting him to comply with the wishes of
time meeting. which received the signatures of about 120
electors, with numerous assitrances of support. Sir John
Rogers arrived in Exeter last evening about six o'clock,
and suet the cotton:liter at eight, when a long conference
took place. A hand-hill was puillished in the colors* of
the week, recommending Sir Henry Carew for the re-
presentation of Exeter ; that gentleman, however, ex-
pressed his disinclination to engage in the contest.

eight o'clock. Ile is on his nay to Preston, to concert

Ounnast, 3!ancit 4.—Mr. Lambton commenced his
canvass on Friday Iwo, in Siii.deriand, with a success
far exceeding expectation. flu that day amid Saturday
lie received the pr cof 461 plumpers, 6 splits, and
had only 4 refusals. On Minniey it is impossible to
give a description of time reception he experienced. It
was enthusiastic to a degree which could scarcely have
been anticipated by his most sanguine friends. On his
entrance into the town, the horses were taken from his
carriage, and he was drawn to the Bridge lon amidst
cheers and acclamation.. Mr. Landston then proceeded
on his canvass, principally through the tub Wear 00000 mobs,
receiving fr the inhabitants of almost every house time
most iniemplivocal proofs of heart-felt good wishes. IL i
success was almsolntely beyond precedent. I return-
ing to the Bridge Inn an immense multitude was Col-
lected round the limier. 3lr. Laiiiinsho addressed a short
speech to the numerous assemblage, in which lie took
leave of thrum for the present, in order to eanVass the
rest of the county. At the von.-Ldun• the avisl.sitse was
Ussl 00000 titled ; as the carriage arose away, ml was fol-
lowed by the benedictions of thousands.
Mr. Lamhton having announced his intention of ran-
vassing the resident Freeholders in Imrlians, on Tues-
day, was met a little out of the town try an i tttttt rim ron.

horses were instantly Inds immersed f the carriage 1-e
the people, and he was drawn through the city amid,:
continue 4 shouts of animist's,. All the shops in the
streets through wliLis he passed a err closed, anal the mtp-
stairs windows mnstly ornamented with ladies. lln
reaching Mr. ("ark's, at the foot of Rivet, Mr. Lainhion
alighted, and immediately presented himself oft the ridge
of one of the windows, n here he addressed the large as.
senalilaKe below. In the course of his Ghats, • he al•
bided to a bill of an infamous tenon r.
sued that morning. Ile accepted that dila;
as an honutir from the quarter whence

to hr very nice about libellingassiii isidual, and as their
accusations were notoriously false in one case, he should
leave Hinge around him to judge whether they were en-
titled to any crmlit in the oilier. Mr. I,aimmlnoneoneloded
a speech of souse Ireurth a ith the loudest applause. Mr.
M. A. Taylor was then called for, when hecongratulated
them on time support which they had given to his honour-
able and excellent friend, who would, he had no doubt,
always prove himself worthy of their approbation.—
After souse further remarks on the presumption of Mr.
Wharton, and Isis parrs'. he retired. A cry was then
heard fur ltr. Fenwirk, 'who said a few words on the ne-
cessity of immediately canvassing instead of talking.—
The people then shortly dispersed, and Mr. Laumbton
proceeded on Isis earn .ss.

TO THE ELFCT(►RM OF THE nonoucii OF

THE very general and friendly invitation which
I have this -has received from so numerous and re-
spectable a body t.f the Electors of Southwark. to again
represent them in Parliament, with the liberal terms annexed
to it, cannot be otherwise than highly gratifsing to my feel-
ings. I accept the offer with satisfaction, and feel assured
of sour stirport.
When I retired from your service, at the General Election
in ROY. I did so because it appeared to me that I did not
pos. sour conottenee to the extent whieh ought to subsist
between the Electors and their Representative. The Reso-
lutions to le conveved to me limn• m.• that you do justice to
those good intentions of which alone I could boost during
the two Parliaments in which I was entrusted with your in-
terests. .

Although I msy truly say. that, warmly attoebed to the
British l'onstinetion. its presenstion has been the uneessing
objeet of my attention during a long public life. and. if I
klow myself. will continue to be so. yet I shall make no
promises or pledges of my political conduct. In soliciting
the suffrages of a body of the Electors amongst the most in-
dependent in the kingdom. I shall confidently ask for myself

in Parliament. uneontroulled, but not unbiassed by those of
my Constituents. with the exception of those eases which
•affect their local interests. when I shall assiduously resort,
and willinkll defer to their opinions and wishes.
As the Election commenres to-morrow. it is Impossible
that (consistently with the entwine due to my Mends at the
pull-book) I can stall on Site Electors: I must, therefore,
crave their indulvence towanls an old friend. who trusts to

We have this morning received Paris Papers of
Friday and Saturday. The Chamber of Deputies
held Sittings on the td and 3d instant :
AL Dupont made the report of the Commission on the
petitions relative to the ussintenaire of the Charter; it
proposed the tinier of the Day on lye of them, on ac-
count of several offensive expressions which they con-
tained; and the sending the others to the Commission
charged with snaking a report upon the Election Law.—
Ordered to be printal.—An animated discussion arose
gm the question of adopting the report. M. Meetaolier
violently opposed it. M. Jobes made a spirited reply,
which was received with approbation by the Chamber.
The President then put the two propositions to the vote.
The Chamber was unanimous with respect to the first,
viz. the Order of the Day on the five objectionable
petitions. Their decision on the second part of the
report appeared doubtful, notwithstanding which the
President pronounced the Order of the Day. This de-
chicon excited on the left side considerable agitation. A
seminal appeal was insisted epos by MM. Manuel, B.
Constant, Daanou, Detuareay.
