PORTLAND. TUESDAY. APRIL IS. 1923.
Oar foreign intelligence is to the 4th Of March
from London, 9th Of February from Paris, and
23d February from Madrid. Great excitement
prevails in England, on the subject of the attack
upon Spain. The opposition members are very
strenuous against the doctrine of the Holy Al
lance. Mr.. Brougham and Sir James Hacin-
tosh, enlightened statesmen, made powerful APP
peals to the reason and feeling of Parl lament,
on the subject. The Ministry contend for the
neutrality of England, which they say it is her
duty and interest to maintain.
In the French Chamber Of Deputies, I'Glley-
rand has again raised his warning voice against
the policy of the French administration. He says
he brought himself into disgrace by opposing
Bonaparte's invasion Of that country, and he
cannot now, when he sees similar projects, which
forebode equally disastrous consequences, ia ag-
itation, refrain from opposing them. The pro-
ceedings of the deputies were violent and disor-
derby; the liberal party is extremely warm
against the prevalent doctrines of the French
cabinet, and it is supported by the population Of
Paris.
The Spanish Cortes was dissolved on the 18th
Of February, burning with zeal in defence Of the
rights Of Spain and freemen. Preparations are
making for vigorous resistance.
The French armies had not entered Spain.
but were collecting on the frontiers. We do
not learn whether the Spanards will make a
stand on the Pyrenees, or wait for the enemy on
the Ebro. We are sorry to find Catalonia,
frontier province, filled with intestine commo-
tons. They cannot do much in the common
cause.
Election of Representatives 10 Congress.
From the following statement Of votes in the
several Districts of this State it is probable that
but three Representatives are elected.
CUMBERLAND, 90 towns, one plantation to be
heard from.
Longfcllow 2004, Anderson 1881, Scat II.
York, all the towns except Cornish and Lin
ingtOn no choice.
Hayman 81, Burleigh 1851, Lane 1927,
Thornton 392, McIntire 334, Scattering 44s.
KENNEBBc, 2s towns towns and 8 pIanta-
ton not yet returned: no choice.
Cushman 1897, Warren 1920, Scattering 273.
HANCOCK AND WAsHINGToS, 10 towns: no
choice.
Abbot $50, Johnson 525, O'Brien 1853, Hol-
brook 282, Scattering 10.
SOMERSET AND PENoBscor. from the votes in
q towns, we conclude Mr.. Kdder is elected.
Kidder 1885, Emerson ATS, Scattering I49.
OXFORD, We have not received returns from
this District; but as there was no opposition to
Mr.. Lincoln, he is undoubtedly elected.
MIR. Longfcllow, Mr. Lincoln and Mr.. Kidder,
are probably elected.
We have heard it often asked since the late
election, how old Harpswell, which has stuck by
US in all weathers, should come out with dem
ocratic majority. We felt surprised and should
still continue 50, had we not accidentally heard
that an influential gentleman Of this town. had
kindly remembered Harpswell, and thinking
that her inhabitants were more ignorant than
they are generally supposed to be, furnished
them BY express, with large supply Of votes
for Mr.. anderson. We are requested to return
thanks to that gentleman for his particular re-
gard for the bcnighted inhabitants of Harpswell.
We have included among the scattering ia
this District, number of votes which were cast
for STEPHEN LoNGFELLow, emitting the junior.
There can be no doubt that they were intended
for Mr.. Longfelow, of Portland, and would be
considered By Congress, as given for hiIR, if the
subject should come before them.
Mr. shrIcy-Is il not necessary that the Selectmen
should keep check list Of all voters at the elections
Of members of Congress The law provides that lists
shall be made cut, and person shall vote whose
name is not on the list but how is this fact be
certaincd and how is man prevented from voting
more than once unless the list is examined, when he
offers his vote and his name is checked! Ii the law
requires such FORM the Selectmen of Westbrook did
not do their duty and trust the county Attorney
who lives in that town. will do his duty, BY presenting
il to the grand jury.
