Ladies and Gentlemen, Beg to ofer imy sincere aiid grateful acknowvledgements to my Friends, aid to that highly respectable body of l;roptSetors who bonoured nme with their support at the late Election, and whose zealous efforts to promote Jly success have created a debt of gratitude which, unfortunately, I can never hope to repay. I regret extremely that their hopes and nmine should have been dis. appointed, and Itis to me matter of painful reflection that I should have sulSected sonme of soy friends to great personal inconvenience on my aceount. This circumstanlce operated so powerfully on rny mind, that I timmediately determined to relinquish all furtlher views to ta seatin the Directioiu rather than expose their friendship a second tinme to Po severe a trial; but in deference to the remoxstraTices of some of my personal frienids I allowved-a short interval to elapse for dteliberation before I announced my determination to the proprietors at large. The result of thiS deliberation has beeii, that altholgh It rould be extremely imurudent on nmy part to come fors-ard on the next artancy In opposition to a candidate wvho, in eonisequence of my having intimated ai intetion to retire, has alrendy oitained pro- nises of support even from some of mv owrn connexions, yet I niay still be induced to offer myself once niere to the notice of the Pro. prietors, if eirecimstances shoulld hereafter occur tci favour my vlewvs. I declare at tke sanme time most explicltly that, in declinisng to come forwvard on the next vacancy, my objeet has been to save my friends aud myself uineeessary trouble, aod that I have esitered into no ac- commodation or arraSgemelnt wvith the candldatte to whom I allude, nor have lhad any communication wvhatever wvith him or his frieads on the subject. Should circumstances appear to favour my coming ferward on a futureoccasion, I shall have theehonourtosolicitagain yoursuffrages; 'chile, on the other hand, should motives of prudenee or Other eonsi. derations induee me to abandon finally my vlewvs to a seat in the di- rection., I shall retire with a deep sense or gratitude for the kindness and favour wrhich I have already experienced at your hands. I have the honour to he, with tije greatest respeet, l.adies and Geiitlemen, Your faithful and humble servaut, 3. Upper Portland-Place, March Sd, 1524. 14. ST. G. TUCKER.
