PETIMSFI ELL ELECTION. PETSRSFIELD, JUNK 28. 1820 —The Election of a Representative in Parliament for this Bo rough, in the room of Lord HoTHAM, who sits for Leominster, took place this day before the Rev. JOHN NVHICHF.R, the Mayor of the'Borough. Great anxiety had been manifested for several days previous to know who was the intended Candi date, Mr. ATCHESON 114'604 addieised the Elec tors, stating it to be his intention not to offer himself at the present moment, -and it being ge nerally understood that Col. CAMAC also declined offerine himself ; it was not till the evening of yesterday that it was whispered that Sir PHILIP MUSGRAVE, the unsuccess:All Candidate for Car lisle, was to be proposed on Mr. JOLLIFFE'S in fittence in the Borough. The MAYult proceeded to the Town Hall at 11 o'clock, attended by his Assessor, SAMUEL rEMTY • FORD, jun., E•q , whinier he was soon followed by lIYLTOVJOLLIFFP, Esq., and Sit PHILIP MUS GRAVF, with, thE•l' Cogullsel, Mr. MEEFWETHER ; Col. CAMac, and a large body of Freeholders and inhAitants,having alteady aserribled. After the usual formalities had been gune through, and proclamation made for thenomiustion 01 Candi dates, Mr. JouN MEERES, a-n ancient Freeholder, came forw4rd and pi oposed 1-1 YLTOy JOLLIFFE, and Sir PtitelP MosoaAve,. as CaudHates for the vacant seat ; but on its being intimated to bins that Mr. JOLLIFFE eras alrea.ly ( lie o f th e Members for the Borough, lie withdrew his Do mination, and Mr. JoitAFFts then proposed his ' friend, - Sir MusGttAvH, assuring the Meeting, that when he had last the honour-Of seeing •them in that Hall, he had not the most disrant idea that it would so soon be again necessary — to call them together ; that he should lint revert to what had passed in the Committee of the Ho use o f Commons, except to say, that he had used every exertion to repel the attempt made to encroach upon the rights and franchises of the ancient Freeholders, by extending the tight or voting to the inhabitants, and that he would dealt) stand forward to protect them, it any appeal was mark, as he understood was intended, to another Committee, on the subject ; and he concluded by intreating their support in tavour of Sir Vu stir MuSGBAVE, The 11ev. Mr. Cooxsottt, of Coletnere, seconded the nomination, staring that he was sure the Electors would find the worthy Gentleman an limiest and a loyal man, and in every way entitled to their countenance. Sir PuttAP MvsGaAva then addressed the Meet ing, expressing his pleasure in appearing before a Sin sting of enlightened Electors, who could ap preciate the loyal - y and independence of his prin. cip!ts, and pledging himself to itipport the ter only so tong as they miAt be entitled to *support, it he sht , uld the honour of being r e tor n cd one of the Rrpresents;ives in Parlia- Tient for the Borough. COL CAMAC was afterwaids proposed by a Free• holder, but, upon being re vested to offer him self as a Candidate, he rose and stated, that on the part of his CJilleagne Mr. Aictutot.7, and for himself, be declined offering any present opposi tion to the Gentleman proposed by Mr. JOLLIPPE to he the Representative of the Bort - , , ngh. That be did not hesitate to own his hcpes were greatly disappointed by the derision of tilt. late Committee against the rights of the 13 , 1r4t-Sses who were all.. ciently the legal Electors in the Borough ; but that he was han-py in assuring the Meeting, that though he felt the highest respect, for the Com enitree, which he knew was for the most part com posed of some of the ablest and most independent Members of the House of Commons, he enter- Wiled sanguine, and, he trusted, well•founded hopes, that their decision would be reversed, on the appeal which it was intended to prosecute on the part of the real and independent El e cto r s o f the Borough, under the sanction of the highest legal opinions. That Mr. ATcnasoet and him self, though it was impossible for them to enjoy the high honour of representing Peteisfield in Parliament at present, were determined steadily and firmly to adhere to the cause of the Burgesses and Fre'eholders in general, and to omit nothing which might be necessary to enable them to esta blish their claims to that influence in the Elec tions which they once enjoyed, and that it would be the highest gratification they (Mr. A. and him self) could feel, to see their efforts crowned with success. That he thought it right thus publicly to state the intentions of the Electors, who were disfranchised by the late decision on their tights, to appeal, that no party might have the opportu nity of alleging that he was taken by surprise, or that he was not in so good a situation to defend the right established by the late Committee as he might have been. That fur the support with which he had been honoured he felt truly grate ; that he had entered the town a few months since P strancer, but that be had been favoured instantly with the countenance of many most re spectable persons, whom he hoped be might now call truly valued friends ; and that, animated by the recollection of that support, he should ever adhere to their rause, and feel the deepest inte rest in their welfare. COL CAMAC then left the Flan, attended by the greater part of the Meeting, and Sir PHILIr MUSGRAVE was returned without further opposi tion; and a dinner was given in the afternoon to the voters, who littti been collected from " the ntighbotirinx counties" to support his Election.

THE SUN. SOLEAI' Diceitz FALSUM A [MEAT ? LONDON, TrEDNESIMY, JUNE 26, 1820. The Pa►is Papers which were due this !twilling have not been received. I - 14lifax Papers to the Ist of June, and Ne►v Brunswick to the - , 24th of Rlay, arrived this onwig GENERAL OEDER OF 11ILITIA, MAY 27. As it appears to me necessary, fur Many reasons, to regu late the Militia Establishment in conformity to the Laws in force in this Praeince,—lt is ordered that there shall be only one Regiment in each County, of which the Establishment shall he, 1 Lientenant-Colonel, 2 Alajors, 10 Captains, 20 First and 20 Second Lieutenants, with the usual Staff, each Company compwied of t Captain, 2 First and 2 Second Lieu tenants, I Clerk : 4 Serjeants, 2 Drummers, and 100 men.— All Officers who may be reduced on breaking np the Regi ments, shall retain their commissions and rank. In consi deration of the population of the Town of Halifax, and the extent of that Country, there shall be two Regiments in. Town, one in Colchester, and one in Pietou. In order to provide for the care of the Harbours and Batteries, there shall be formed a Militia Company of Artillery. We have a right to congratulate ourselves on the direct, open, and consistent course of coo duct which we have adopted, respecting the great Question which now agitates the Nation, and has . drawn the attention of all Europe upon the Pro ceedings of the British Government. We said, frotu the first demand of the QUEEN to the House of Commove, that -nothing but a compliance with that demand would promote the ends ofJustice,and satisfy mankind. Ministers, from a commendable but false humanity, alter having laid their charges opon the Table of Parliament, were induced to listen to the proposal of an amicable nagociation, in , other words to hush up the matter, by which they would have brought disgrace upon them• selves and all Parties. The consequence of their , liberal but weak compliance With that proposal was the censure and ridicule of those very men who objected to the opening of the - Green Bag, the contents of which were said to be high ly injurious to public morals. Well, after all the conflicts of Party', and all the anxious proceedings of oar Legislators, the issue comes to the point we originally suggested as inevitable, viz.—a full examination of the Charges, and an OPEN TRIAL. All the delays that were interposed came from the Agents of THE QUEEN, and from Parliament in adopting Mr. WieneaFoaca's hope less Motion. It is said that the contents of the Green Bags, are gradually stealing into general notice. Admitted—but not from the Green Bugs themselves, but are the reports and rumours which have long been current on the Continent respecting the cotr!uct of the QUEEN, whether well or ill founded. These reports and rumours are certainly of the most offensive and disgusting kind, and now they are reduced into regular charges, and pre sented by the Government of the Country to the judgment of Parliament, must undergo a full in vestigation. The honour of the QUEEN and of the Throne demands it. The QueeN must enjoy her honours if she comes clear out of the ordeal; and if she is guilty to the extent imputed, the KING must have justice done to him and be released from a person who may be pronounced unwot thy of being a part 'nvr of the Throne. This is the lapguage of common sense, sound morality, and national justice. All contrary opinions are founded in weakness, ar tifice, and sophis;ry. But it is said that recrimina tion is likely to take place. The idea is absurd. The QUEEN is to be tried on the ground of the conduct imputed to her abroad, and has nothing to do with that of others at home.—For instance, it is reported that she has preserved a Letter from his MAJESTY, written at a former period, and couched, in terms not suitable to the Royal character. It is whispered that this Letter will be opened as a son of toleration for the con duct of her MAJESTY abroad, if she should be proved to be guilty of the imputed charges, Ad. mitring for a rtiontent drat such a letter m)y exist,. are the effusions of temporary vexation, such as too often occur in matrimonial life, to be dragged before the tribunal of the Nation, and made the ground of Legislative Defence )—The very presertration of such a letter, if it be of such a character as described, does not operate its favour of the Party who retained such a Document, to be made use of on a future occasion. Even if ex posed, it would only she* the influence of mo mentary irritation on one side, but a deep provident polity on the other. The Green Bags must be opened, but it depends on• the wisdom, df the Legislature to disclose the ge -1 neral substance of them, and not such particu lars as can only excite disgust without forward ing the ends of Justice. Before we conclude, we will just observe, that we yesterday announced the intention of Her MAJESTY to visit Drury- Lane Theatre this evening. We made no com ment, because we did not wish to injure the Theatre, but we must now say, that . with such charges hanging over her head, she seems too hastily to . have concluded that the clamour of Party and the acclamations of &feet ,Rab hies conveyed the general opinion of the Country at large. A tr. , dest retirement till her character is cleared, would he more suitable to her situa tion, her rank, Aimd her sex. When her innocence shall be fully manifested, let Ler openly appear, and as ,an atonement for injuviee, oppression, and pf-recutorr, reap' the full- reward of univer sal popularity. QUEEN —As our Paper was putting to Press, we bad the pleasure to learn, t hat she has on this occasion listened to the advice of her legal friend), and has relinquished her intention to visit the Theatte this evening. Every proper arrangement had previously been tnatle to preserve the public peace, which happily a revrd to de corum and discretion has rendered unnecessary. THE DUCHESS OF ionli.
