Des. 991 99 --Exchange zot Paris Journals to the 24th init. and] two Mails from Hamburgh, have arrivell (Ince our laft. The French Papers prefent hardly any thing worthy of notice, except a report on the French rinances. It is (Wed in the Dutch and Hamburgh Mails, t h a t the EMPEROR of Rossi A is ready to guarantee the independence of Malta, as foon as certain al mations in the articles of the Treaty of Amiens, relative to its eftabliffitnent, are made. NiTe have repeatedly hated, that it was impoffible Ruffia could guarantee the new ConftitUtion of the Order, which really is mole abfard than PAUL I. infifting that a Prince of the Greek Church fhould be the Chief of a Roman Catholic Order. Leiters from Conifantinople mention that the Prench Colonel Stossriata (an Aide-de-Camp of t he FIRST Coasos.,) has arrived at Aleranctria. It is Paid, that he had remonftratect with General STUART refpeaing our troops remaining in Egypt. This is not probable, for fuch remonfirances would , be very mifplaced to an Officer who has only to obey the initrualons he receives. The million of St sArr lAN I, however, via be of force importance ; We fhould imagine that he goes as a fpy upon the cOndue of odr troops, and to afcertaia what in telligence and correfpondence we have formed in Egypt. It is mentioned that he was to pro ceed to Cairo. The war between the Beys and the forces of the GRAND SEIGNIOR (till cohtinueo, but it is Paid that the latter have obtained-fome fuccefres over their opponents. A paper of yefterday contains fbrile new pat. titular: tending to thew the inability of the Turks to maintain their ground in Egypt fl t the Mamelukes, to whom a body of goon Turks and Albanians has lately decreed. Sonic difturbances had alfo arifen in Syria, between Do Ezzae, Pacha of Acre, and Act' m en, Pacha of Jaffa, which were adjufted by the fortunate arrival of Tome Turkifh forces ; the Pachasare henceforth to confine them- Oyes within their feveral jurifdietions. The Hamburgh Mails bring fonie farther de tails refpeaing the occupation by Danifh troops of the territory affigned to Lubeck in the plan of Indemnities. We fubjoin them. It is inipoffible to fay what this may ultimately lead to. It is at laft announced, but we know not whe ther on certain authority, that the EI4II O IIIOR of RussiA has agreed to guarantee the independence of Malta. thstsoaou, bac. at—The Emperor of Ros au haying now conditionally accepted the gua rantee of Malta, it is agreed that the illand than in future be garrifoncd by Neopolitan troops f at the joint expence of trance and England. There is much talk of an important reform in the Swedifh Marine.

Wednefday morning an affair of honour was adjufled onLanfdown, near Bath, in confequencs of a difpute which took place on the preceding evening. The parties, Mr. iric.t and Mr. W—d fired each a fhot, when the feconds interfered,and a reconciliation fucceeded.

Several people of con fequenee were prefent, and arming others, Lord and Lady CLIFFORD, Lord GILAYE3, Lady PALK, Sir S. and Lady NORTHCOTZ, Sir J. and Lady Davy, &c. &c. &c. All the principal familids within ten miles of Exeter, were alfo prefent as well as the dignified Clergy of the Cathedral, and a number of Merchants, Conn&llors, and profs Tonal Gentlemen. The evening would have paired with real hannony t had it aotbeen for an unfortunate dif tdrbance which originated in the conduit of Lord C—v. His Lornfhip, on taking a furvey of the company, was pleated to think they were, in gene. ral, not fit to afFociate with people of tide, and infifted on being feparated from them by having chairs placed at the head of the room, initead of the forms which had been prepared for the whole of the vifitors ; he broke through the firfl article which had been entered into by the fubfcribers, and behaved in fuch a manner as to sail forth the animadverfion of Counfellor Toasts, one of the Stewards.

At the opening of the Court, Mr. HALT Wl4 Ire addreffed the Returning Officer, and demanded the return. He raid, that the Poll having been illegally adjourned the day before, Sand no votes tendered far Mr. Tumor, and three voters having offered themfelves Oor him, he was entitled to it. The Bailiff refufed to return him - . Mr. CLIFFORD faid, he proteftedin the name of Mr. Holt White, againft any farther proceeding ; but fubjea to that proteft, lie fliould tender votes for his client, if a poll fhonld be entered upon. He repeated the two notices of difqualification, which he had given yeflerday, and added, that owing to the Adjournment a third ground of difqualification had come to his knowledge. He then gave notice, that Mr. Tumor was alfo difqualified for bribery, and all votes giVen to him would be thrown away. Mr. Peci. then polled eight perfons, all of whom refuted to produce their title deeds, or to anfwei any queftions. The Bailiff decided they could not legally be afked any. None of them knew the name, defcrip tion, or tituation of their burgages, till read, to them by Mr. Tumor's Counfel. Mr. CLIFFORD objected to their *cites, as occa (tonal and fraudulent, and read a cafe which Lord Somers had thought of fufficient importance to re port himfejf ; he laid that it was of great authority, having been decided in good old Whig Revolution It was a cafe in which the Houfe of Commons had fent a Returning Officer of another rotten Borough in that neighbourhood to Newgate,•for admitting occafional voters to poll ; and the Chief Juilice of England had advifed a Jury to give exemplary da mages againft him, Hating with indignation that the admitting ocegnonal vote: on the poll was a great crime, unknown to the Conftitution of our Go vernment, deftruCtive of our liberties, and tending to the debauching of Parliament. Mr. Pm. argued at length on the liberty now enjoyed by the people of this country, which af forded much more focial comfort than was known in the time of Lord Somers, and which could not be done away by any patriots who came down to throw a fire-brand into the Borough, to deftroy the rights of the eledtors, perhaps their lives. He cited the Downton cafes, in which Committees had held fuch votes to be good. Mr. CLIFFORD fhewed that rig fuch refolution had been come to in the Downton cafes, and quot ed the cafe of another rotten Borough in the neighbourhood (Horfham), where the Counfel de ' cided they were bad. The Bailiff, however, ad mitted the votes. Mr. C. then tendered three votes for Mr. Holt White. The firft of them, Mr. Burley. The fecond voter, Mr. Richard White, the father of the Borough, laid, after he had poll ed, he walled he could have done more for his name-fake, and that he would give burgages to his fons, fo that there fhould be five more votes in the family againft another Election.—When Mr. Monher's, the third vote, was tendered, Mr. Pell objected to him as being a Catholic, and defired that all the oaths might beput to him. The voter objected to the oath of Supremacy, but would take any other oaths thpy chofe to tender. Mr. C. argued againft the power of the Returning Of ficer to adminifler thofe oaths in the then circum fiances of the poll, and made fome fevere animad verfions on the illiberality of firth an objection.-- The Bailiff was for rejeCting him, but Mr. P. with drew his objection, and candidly advifed the Bai liff to admit the vote. Thefe three all voted for Mr. Holt White. Nine others were then tendered by Mr. Pell, who were alfo obieEted to, on the ground of occafionality, but admitted to poll. An other vote was alfo tendered for Mr. Tumor, when Mr. C. laid that as he was not allowed to afk a voter a queftion, and did not with to enfnare any body, he gave notice that the voter, being the poll matter, was liable to tool. penalty if he voted.— Mr. P. withdrew the vote. Mr. C. then tendered the vote of Mr. Lane, and read his title. Mr. P. offered verbal evidence of his having no title. The Bailiff held the evidence to be admiffible. Mr. P. then called three wit. neffes, two of whom had voted for Mr. Tumor s and had refuted to anfwer queftions as to their own titles, who faid they had never heard that any perfon had polled for the burgage in queftion.— The third of them, the II !ward of the manor, how ever, admitted that he had never known a poll at Midhurft. The Bailiff rejeeted the vote.. The 011 was then clofed, and Mr. Turnor was declar ed duly eleaed. The final hate of the Poll was as follows : For Edmund Tumor, Efq. - - 17 For Thomas Holt White, Efq. 4 Mr. HOLT Worn pledged himfelf to bring the quellion before the Houfe of Commons ; and Mr. C. added, that the (tones of Midhurft fhould be turned into bread. The evening was fpent with great conviviality ; and the health of Mr. Fox and feveral other illuf triousWhig charaeters were drank with enthufiafm. The Hop Duty for the prefent year amounts to no•more than 26,0941. 2S. I I id. Monday laft, Lieutenant-Col. G. Macxrrizis, Captain F. B.
