The queftion turned upon this point. It appeared that the Hnufe of Commons had, on the gth of June, 1660, refolved, that the right of elation of the orough of Plymouth was in the Mayor and Commonalty of the Borough. In 1739 there was a petition againa the return, and it was in. filled that the word is Commonalty," extended only to the freemen of the borough, to the excluilon of the freeholders. Evidence was examined, with a view to explain the conftruaion of the word. The Houfe afterwards refolved, that the word Commonalty extended to the Freemen only of the Bo rough. At the late elation, the Freeholder: claimed a right to vote, and it was upon the foundation of that right Sir W. ELFORD and THOMAS Biwa', Efq. petitioned againa the return of Sir CHARLI s MAU• awe POLE and THOMAS TYRWH urr, Efq. The Com mittee, after tome deliberation, refuted to receive any evidence in contradklion of the Refolution of 1739, which was explanatory of the prior Declaration of 1660. The Committee therefore decided, that Sir C. M. Pot! and THOS. TYRWHITT, Efq. the Sitting Members, were duly elated, and ought to have been returned. That Sir W. EL lORD and THOS Bawls, Efq. were not duly elated, and ought not to have been returned ; and that the Petition of Sir W. Et.- roan and Taos. BEWIth Efq. was not frivolous or vexatious. NORFOLK ELECTION COMM ITTEE.--The Committee Room was crowded to excels the whole day, which was occupied in hearing further evidence, with a view to ellablifh ads of treating and bribery, on the part of the agents of the Right MOIL WM. WINDHAM and T. W. Coil, Efq. Thurfday morning an alarming fire broke out in the painting houfes of the dock-yard, at Plymouth ; but by prompt affiflance it was fpeedlly extinguiffied, without doing any other injury than deflroying two of the painting honks. M. Smith was on Monday found guilty, at the Court of Jufliciary, Edinburgh, of the murder of an infant, at Paifley, and ordered for execution OR the rth of March. An Apothecary's apprentice, in cluded in the indiltment, was acquitted. Monday, the inhabitants of Truro were alarmed by an awful thunder form, which threatened the molt ferious consequences. The wind blew Rrong from the S.W. during the morning, and feveral ex plofions were heard, but all too diflant to excite any ferious apprehenfions till about eleven o'clock, when a flafh of lightning extremely vivid, was inflantly followed by a tremendous crash of thunder, which Teemed to butt dole down upon the hnufe-tops, and chattered the windows of the Red Lion inn, Mr. Munct's houfe, Mr. HODGE'S, and feveral others. —ln the mean time the eleßric fluid itruck the church tower in feveral places, *here the conductor, neutralized perhaps by nal, did not afford all the fecurity expected from it. A Rone of nearly zoo cwt. was thrown out of the fouth. weft angle of the top of the fquare tower, at the bale of the fpire. As the fluid clefeended in a zig. zag direftion, it recoiled again and Aruckj the bite of the wall near the porch, with great violence— but was repelled by the solid macs of granite of which it i 4 formed.—Some part of it however en tered the church, and pairing out at the great win dow over the altar, broke feveral panes of glafs and greatly damaged the window frames. It then en tered the kitchen of the Bear Inn (which Rands dole to the N. E. angle of the church) !truck a man backward, but without injuring him, and paired off without further damage.

NEW YORK, JAN. 8. Mr. Gilbert Deblois, of Bolton, paffenger in the fchooner Adela, from Cayenne, informs, that he left the port of Monte Video in the river Plata, on the 25th of OEtober laf, in a French privateer, called l'Oifeau, Captain Biduis (the only veifel that had, or would have liber ty to depart the port fur Tome months), and has handed us. the following intelli• genet relative to South America : [After giving an account of the capture of Buenos Ayres by the Britifh, and the re capture by the Spaniards, the article proceeds 44 Sir Home Popham was in Buenos Ayres when it was retaken, and with great difficulty effeaed his efcace in a boat to his (hips ; after which, with the exception of one gun brig, left cruizing between the Colonia and Buenos Ayres, he brought his fquadron (conlitting of his own (hip, the Diadem, of 64 guns, Captain King ; Raifonable, 64, Captain Rowley ; Diomede, ss, Captain Phillips ; one frigate, two floops of war, and feveral armed tranfports), down the fiver, and anchored in full view of the harbour of Monte Video. Sir Home had fent into Monte Video upwards of thirty flags of truce, demanding General Beresford aadhis troops, a fupply of provilions, and fume me dicines for his lick and wounded. The Governor, tired of fuch bufinefs, generoufly fent Sir Home Pop ham a fupply of frefh provifious, and twenty-three Englifh feamen, who were brought into Monte Video a few months previous in an Englifh Guineaman, and faying that he fhould not refpat any more flags of truce from that time. " Sir Home Popham anfwered the Governor's ci vility by accepting the fre(h fupply of provifions, and receiving the twenty-three feamen ; but contrary to the etiquette obferved in time of war in an exchange of prifoners, he refuted to deliver up the like number of Spaniards, which he might very eafily have done, as he had more than ninety in his poffeffion, who were taken from a fmall town on the fouth fide of the river. 41 Several fkirmifhes had taken place between the Englint Tails and Spanifh gun boats and forts. and almoft every day they fainted Monte Video with 32 and 381 b. fhot, which, to thofe people who were peaceably attending to their bufinefs, and efpecially the young ladies, who by their religion were obliged to attend mafs every day, was extremely ungentecl and inconvenient. For a few days previous to Mr. D.'s departure, an Englifh brig fent a number of heavy fhot into and over the city, fume of which had the audacity to tear away the S. E. corner of Saint Felippe's Church—however, not many lives were loft or much damage done. 44 JAW. 9.—lt appears that the amount of the tef tiroony againft Colonel Burr was as follows :—that he bad been concerned in the purchafe of four hun- dred thoufand acres of land in Louifiana, nearly op- pofite the Natchez—that the young and enterprifing perfons who were to accompany him, were to fettle on the land—that each had a mufket. and was to ad as a foldier, under Burr, againft the Spaniards in cafe of a war, provided Government approved of it ; and that Mr. Jefferfon was acquainted with the whole of this projett many months once. It is added, that one year's provifions for the fupport of the fettlers had been purchafed for 4 0,000 dollars ; and that as much more had been expended fur inftruments of agricul• cure. Burr was daily expelled at Wathington. " On the 6th of January an exprefs arrived at New York, with the news of Mr. Burr having commenced an adion again& the Government of the United States, to recover damages for the illegal obarudions to his enterprife, in fettling in his land, and likewife ma naging his affairs in his own way. 64 It was reported at Philadelphia, that General Adair, a Senator of the United States, had teQified that he had a perfonal knowledge of a correfpondence between Colonel Burr and the Prefident, relative to a military equipment to ad againft the Spanifh pof feflions in Louifiana, and to undertake the conqueft of the Florida' ; that the Prefident declined the offer for the prefenr, but that Burr's preparations were made under the fandion of Government. The cor refpondence is faid to have taken place fourteenmonths ago, and the expedition is fuppofed to be connected with that of Miranda. 46 J.W. to.—The American General Wilkinfon, having arrived with his troops on the left bank of the Sabine, found the Spanifh Commandant potted on the oppoilte bank. On the 6th November the latter fell back, and Gen. Wilkinfon marched his troops to New Orleans; both having agreed to wait the event of the pending negociations ; but both, at the famE time, receiving reinforcements. By the New York Gazette of the sth, it appears that the Cambrian frigate, in violation of the order which prohibited the entrance of that chip into any harbour of the States, had com pelled an American pilot to conduit her into Hamp ton Roads, where fhe vieualled and watered. The Cullom houfe officer who came on board to enquire concerning her, was ordered out of the fhip. A flatement of this affair bad been fent off to the Sem. tary of SCAM An extrael of a letter from St. Jago, (one of the Cape de Verde Winds) dated Nov. 7, fays there are two Britiflt tranfperts here, which arrived yeller day, having parted with a fleet of thirty fail, bound ro the River Plata. The report here is, that both Monte Video and Buenos Ayres, are again in poffvf fin of the Britills." Frown the LONDO.V GAZETTE, February 7. ADMIRALTY-OFFICE, FEBRUARY 7, 1807.
