Mr. PARKER COKE and Sir J010:I BORLASE - WARREN are certain of being returned for Notting: tam, which they have most honourably represented for many years. Mr. Husser, who has represented Salisburyin seven successive Parliaments, is sure df being re turned for that City. MT. WILBERFORCE BIRD and Mr. PETER *Moo kE'llave set off fOr Coventry ; from the spirit • and liberality with which Mr. JEFFERYS'S friends are determined to support him, the contest, if per severed in, will be very severe.—Mr. JEFFERTS, it IS expeEted, will be at the head of the Poll. At Warwick, where Lord WARWICK'S Family /,l Otis Lordship's for so many years been the Representatives, Lordship's friend, Mr. GAussEN, has been obliged to relinquish the hope of coming in again from the ascendancy of the popular interest.—The 'neighbouring Town of Coventry will also probably chew a similar disposition to resist the recommen dation of a Patron. A Morning Paper observes, that Mr. Sinn. EY and Sir TRoMAS TuRTO24 oppose the sitting Members for Southwark—we presume, by propos ing tO stand. Mr: SH IP L Ey, in his Address, begs the Eledors of the Borough " to allow him to take the ground Mr. T/ RitNEY appears to have left." We believe this is the common prayer of every New Candidate at a General EleEtion. Mr. Hojoit Tocnct closes his farewell address to the Eleftors of Westminster; with a declaration, that he shall continue during the short remainder of his life most. stead, attached to himself.. We give the " honest old Gentleman" credit for this asser tion, and wish him success. A CAVTION' to ELECTURS.—The celebrated BU B Dooviwro N when mentioning ; in his Diary, his interview with the Duke of NEWCAktLE, 011 an elefti onecr i ng b us i ness, says, ".:fhen parted he 4issed me, and promised every thing, but that is all "wind." The first person who appeared in the House of Lords, in a Turkish Dress, was the renoc,oned Tri polis Ambassador. Their Lordships were then much surprised, but it was the charaaer of the Plenipo tentiary, thtysted of his dress, which occasioned such universal admiration. A Morning Paper of yesterday' makes Lord CATI-1. CART, who is a General in the Army ; command the Band of Music when His Majesty went in State to the House of Peers.

YESTERDAY forenoon, Co'lonel Gii . viLii re eeived an 'express from Colchester, with. the two following letters : the first from Captain,SOwOiit to the Colonel.hiniself, the second ,frorn M. GAR:. NEAIN to his confidcutial friend in London : DEAR GREVILLt, Colchester, June 2§. " After a delightful voyage of three quarters of an hour, we landed safe at Colchester. Our landing was extremely difficult, on account of the high wind. You may suppoSe at what a devil e a-rate we came at. Your% &c. " R. C..SOWDEN." EXTRACT OF A LEtTER FROM MONS. GARNER IN, DATED COLCHESTER, 29TH JUNE, ONE O'CLOCK IN THE MORNING. " I take the earliest opportunity of informing you, that af ter a very pleasant journey, but the most dangerous descent I ever'made, on account of the boisterous weather, and the vicinity of the sea, we alighted at the distance of four miles from this place, and sixty from Ranclagh. We were only three-quarters of an hour on the way. To-night, I intend to be in London with the balloon, which is all to pieces, as well as the netting. We ourselves are' all over bruises." At twelve o'clock' last night, neither M. GAR. NE RIN or Capt. SOWDEN had returned, and they were not expelled till this morning. Probably they slept long and sound after so much fatigue and_anxiety. The appearance of the Balloon we understand excited the utmost astonishment among the country people, and in Colchester. The town was in an uproar all Monday night and yesterday forenoon, and the two travellers much delighted with their.reception. GARNERIN before be entered the car at Ranelagh, exataed from Captain SOWDEN his word of honour, that he would not .require to he landed till he .(GARNE KIN) pleased. GARNERIN designed to go as far as he could, and he was only stopped by his approach to the sea. The terms on which Captain SOWDEN purchased his seat are curious. Colonel Git EVILLE contraded that M. GARNERIN should go Up, and said he would go up with him. GARNERIN consented ; but the Colonel was persuaded ti • decline. Col. POLLEN offered GARNERIN fifty guineas for the seat, but GARNERIN said he could not lett it without'Colonel GREVILLE'S consent, In the mean time, Captain Sow DEN applied to Colonel GI EVIL I. B, paid him tool. for the seat, engaged to go halves in the profit or loss of the Ranelagh Fete (the loss is more than [cool.) ; and one of the conditi6us was,, that he should make his Will in favour of the Colonel, which he adually did. Thus a seat for three quarters, of an hour will cost Captain Sowntli about eight hundr4l pounds ! American Papers to the 2d of June are received. The Governor of Georgia issued a Proclamation calling an extraordinary meeting of, the Legislature of that State, to take _into consideration matters of importance. They are supposed to relate to the "cession of the Mississippi territory to France. Captain ALLEN, who arrived at Wilmington on the 28th ult. from Cape Francois, states that the day before his departure Gen. TOUSSAINT arrived at the Cape, and the morning on which he sailed there was a general rejoicing on account of the Peace made with that General,. who could hold out no lon. ,ger, his ammunition and provisions being entirely expended, and the principal part of his troops hav ing deserted and Wined their arms against him.-- He says also, that there still remains in the Moun tains a considerable number of the Congo Negroes, who arc determined not to come under the subjee don of the Whites. At cue County Meeting held' at Hereford on Fri day last, the business of the day was opened by Mr. CLIVE, the High Sheriff, who read the requisitions he had received,, as well as a letter from the Right Hon. THOMAS HARLEY, declining again offering hiniself as a Candidate, *hen Sir GEORGE CORN WALL was proposed by the Hon. ANDREW FOLEY, and seconded by by R. P. KNIGHT, Esq. Member for Ludlow, and his nomination carried unanimously. Mr. tirintmiti was then proposed by Mr. PRICE, cf Voxley, and seconded by the Rev; Mr Ro B E RTS, and niet with the like SUCCESS. Saturday morning notice having been given that the gallant 28th RegiMent of Foot were .td march through Plymouth, on their route to the Dock Line Barracks, a large conourse of people assembled at Britons' Side, to give theM a hearty welcome; when the first diviSion passed their band playing the British Grenadiers' March ; three hearty cheers were given theM;.as well as when, their Colours pas sed, Which visibly aileeted those brave felloWs, to be so received cm their return to their native Country. The Officets'and Men looked very healthy; though much tanned by. the Egyptian sun. There does not appear. any instance of Opthalmia in the Regiment. On Saturday last the Loyal Tarbert Fencibles, Colonel Sir E. LL'lcti, were disbanded at Mill-Bay Barracks, Plymouth. The greater part embarked direlly for Cork, in vessels provided by Govern. meat for that purpose. This Regiment has; at different periods of the late War, furnished to the regular regiments of the line upwards of boo rank and file, and volunteered on all services to any part of the world. In consequence bf the reditaion of the z Bth Light Dragoons, stationed at Brighton; between 40 and so serviceable horses Were on Tuesday last brought to the hammer, and. fetched, upon an average, 181. per horse. A Duel was fought in Hyde Park, on Thursday last, the 24.111, between Mr. R of M—k-lane, and Capt. of P—l--th. After exchanging two shots the Seconds interfered; and accommodated the matter. Mr: R. received a slight wound in the right arm ; and Captain S . . one in the neck; which was at first supp'ated to be mortal, but he is now • pronounced to be out of danger. It is supposed the q►rarrel originated from Captain S. giving as a toast, the health of a Lady to whom Mr. R. paid his j addresses.

Happy are we to say, though many hundreds were colleted on so pleaSureable an event, not the slightest disorder occurred. An unfcrtunate female servant, in thcservice of Mr. Grinstead, , baker of Brompton, on Thursday delivered herself of a female child, and deposited it in the necessary; a neighbour, , the wife of Mr. Sodker, Surgeon, hearing the cries of a child,_ went as above, and there discovered the little innocent. Saturday the Coroner's Inquest was taken, and, after a very long investigation, the Jury was or: dered to meet again on Monday, sonic other cumstances arising not altogether favourable to, this monster in the form of woman. We are favoured. with the following . Copy . of General Orders, issued by the Commander in Chief of His Majesty's Forces at Maitiniciue, relative to the late Mutiny of the Bth West India 'Regiment at Dominica : " GEN. ORDERS. " Adjutant General's pffice, Fort Alartinico, ISoa ' " The Commander in Chief has been under the necessity of performing a painful duty,' that of 'ordering the execution of several Mutineers of the Bth West India Regiment. " This unfortunate•event will not induce • him in the smallest degree to suspeel the fidelity of the other West India Regiments ; he will not ,COntiind the innocent wjth the guilty; and'he sinet'Jly hopes that no person will 'be so un just as to do so. " This Mutiny is to him no cause of apprehension that other Regiments will follow the example—he, on the con trary, believes.that the Soldiers of the West India Regiment will, as well as those of other Regiments-, consider with ab horrence the cruel murders committed by some•-Of the Bth West India Regiment. " The Ist West India Regiment is in FOrt EdWard, and the other troops in the town .ot Fort Royal, where' the Coin- mander in Chief resides, as. are detachments from the 4th and Loth West India Regiments ; these three .Corps furnish the guard on his quarters ; he does not intend to make any altera tion, but will continue surrounded and guarded by these Troops, with the most entire confidence in their fidelity and good coitclu‘a. - , " Should a change of circumstances occasion hiS again go ing on service in this Country, he will take under hiS com mand as many West India Regiments as the nature- of the service will admit. It has been said that a report was spread amongst' the, Soldiers of the -Bth West India Regirnent, that they were to be sold as slaves :—if any such report has been circulated in the Bth, or any other. West India Regi ment; by evil-minded persOns, the Commander in Chief assures the Soldiers of those Regiments, that the report is entirely without folindation, no such thing either will or can happen. But His Excellency does not mean to extend this assurance to Mutineers and Murderers. He will prated and encourage such men of the Bth West India Regiment as shall appear not to have joined in the Mutiny. " This Order to be fead at least three times to every West India Regiment—the Officers of those Regiments will use their utmost endeavours to make the nice understand the purport of it. " The Commander in Chief is highly sensible of the merit of the prompt and effeetual Measures adopted by Brigadior- General j 011 N STONE to suppress the late Mutiny. " The very faitourable report made by Brigadier-General Jo tiN sTo Nsi of the good conditd; zeal; and spirit of. the Officers and Soldiers who aded under, his orders, afforded the Commander in Chief much satisfaction. (Signed) " J. THOMAS, D. A. G." AsTLEY's'Anntlal Prize Wherry was rowed for yesterday afternoon by seven pair of oars. The original intention was to have had four heats, but the wind Was so very Severe against the tide, it was reckoned impossible the Men could get' through the whole ; it was therefore reduced to a double heat, going down firSt to Hungerford; then passing through Westminster-bridge, going up round the boat moored off Vauihall, then through Westniin ster-bridge to Hungerford, and returning through the centre arch of Westminster-bridge: At a very fair start, abotit a quarter Ater five o'clock, John Shepherd and his partner were in the rear passing the Httogerford boat, but before they reach ed Westrninster-bridge, on the South shore, they passed with rapidity four several boats, and kept the lead all the way round the boat off Millbank and downwards: The great contest was between John Shepherd and Joseph Wing, and James Howell and Charles Westwood, three of whom are acconnted the best rowers on the Thames, and was certainly contested stronger than any Prize Wherry we have ever seen-rowed for. .It .was ultimately decided as follows; viz. SgErut.RD and ISAAC Ptiie Wherty, value togs. liov'/ELL and Ca.. WEsTwoon—Three Guineas. ISAAC Wdoni and WiLi.IISHEPAERD—Two Guineas. A very extraordinary and melancholy event ly occurred in the Island . of Sr. Christopher. Two Officers of the Buffs, a Captain and Ensign; were upon particular terms of intimacy. On the 24th of April hist ; the latter went into the room of the former; and without . any apparent reason, or the least explanation with his friend, shot him through the head. He then very deliberately went into an_ other room,• and, by the same means; put an end to his own existence. The Gentleman who . vas thrown from his chaise near Buckingha►n-gate, the day before yesterday,, was Mr. Bloomfield of Long Acte. He was re moved Within two hours from the Westminster Infirmary to his own house, where be, remains in a • ♦cry danzerous state, ATV REPORT. COUR r OF KING'§ BENCH, Ju'xi - ONE Case upon the .

PARIS, itINE "One should imagine that the impotence of Party in France would have ithposed silence upon the Libel/ill's, or, at all events, that the- vigilance of the Police; which wai :never mote alert than at this moment, would have inspired them with some apprehension. of. discovery and punishment ; bat there are some men incorrigible. One of the grossest libels against the FIAT coNsu'L has just made its appearance (which, however, was no sooner effeCted; than it was suPpressed) under the title of " Celibelle :" it contained a thou Sand of the most extraordinary reproaches against 1.301- PARTE, and sotto very violent ,attacks upon his morality ; the style was, however, by no means good; and it apvt.red evidently written by one rt . the Sons of the Church. The §tridest were made to discoVer this Author; andis nothing escapes the scrutinizing myrmidons of the Police in this Country, it was not long before -he ivaS folind; and,. of course; before he was taken with several of his accomplites,:- he is a native of Rennes,. in Brittany; and amongst those of his party; is an Aid-cie-CaMp of General BEitNAOOTt a.

The Journal de Paris, and some other Papers, have covered themselves with ridicule, by affeding. to disapprove of CI-tENIEIt'S Satire, and by dish alloWing its merits ; the reason Of this critical severity is; that RctoEttEtt; who is the Editor; has often "felt the lash of ClittEit's Wit; and VILLETERQUE; who wrote the article for RCS DERER, is employed by him; and wishes to pre.- serve .his place.
