BOSTON, November 18.
FEDERAL REPRESENTATIVES.
MASSACHUSETTS—elected—H. William Eustis, Nathan Read, Joseph B. Varnum, Manasseh Cutler, Lemuel Williams, Peleg Wadsworth, Phanuel Bishop, Levi Lincoln, Ebenezer Mattoon, William Shepard, and John Bacon; for the fourth Middle, the first and third Southern, the second Eastern, and four Western districts.
*New Members.
First Western District.
The last return of votes, including all the towns except two small ones, gave Mr. Bacon a majority of near thirty;—we presume, therefore, he is chosen.
In the second Southern district, the votes in eleven towns, are, for Mr. Mitchell 475.— Mr. Smith 272, and 397 scattering. There certainly has been no choice made; and we hope the federalists at the next poll will unite in Mr. Mitchell.
Third Eastern District.
Thatcher. 544
Cutts. 423
The Hon. Samuel Lyman, Esq. has resigned his Seat in the present Congress. There are now two seats vacant in the Congressional representation of this State, in the third and fourth Western Districts.
A Resolution yesterday passed both Houses empowering the persons appointed as Electors of President and Vice President of the United States, to supply vacancies which may happen in their body, by death or resignation ; and directing them to assemble on the day preceding the day of voting, for that purpose.
