At the Court of Requests, Whitechapel, Tester-
day, a watchman, belonging to Whitechapel parish,
summoned a man in that neighbourhood, for non-
performance of an agreement in writiag, to pay a
guinea, in consideration of an undertaking on the
part of the watchman, his executors, administrators,
and assigns, that his body, after death, should be
at the disposal of the party, who, it is said, has
frequently boasted, that he has had the bodies of
fifteen Spica! Fields weavers, upon the same terms.
The purchaser, however, did n•„ attend.
Last week, Joists Furl-Eli, Esq. of Rose I Ell, ht
Sussex, had three fat bullocks slaughtered, and dis-
tributed to the poor in his neighbourhood.
Wednesday last, the Royal Pembrokeshire Vo-
lunteers returned home from Haverfordcest and
Pembroke, where they had been on permanent .tarty
for thirty-one days, and merited the respeel and
esteem of the inhabitants of both towns for their
laudable attention to military duty, and corren de-
meanour in qoarters. A superb pair of colours
were presented to this fine regiment, on Thursday
se'nnight, by the Right Hon. Lady K titsiriu for:,
in an elegant and appropriate speech ; and, after
the ceremony had concluded, the corps was review-
ed by General GASCUYIst, when they acquitted
themselvos with their usual excellence. Lord K ICS•
SlN‘s om entertained the Officers, &c. on the occa-
sion, with a sumptuous dinner, and a ball in the
evening, at which all the beauty and fashion of
Haverfordwest and the surrounding country were
present.
A letter from an Officer of rank in the British
Indian arm), dated in the camp of General Lord
I. see, at Nlonlepoor, May 10th, relates the preci-
pitate flight of HULKS,,, tires. s warm engagement ;
and mentions that his cavalry are deserting him in
great numbers, offering their service to the British,
but adds, that they would be superfluous. It relates
the carrying by assault a strong town of Hot.K•e's
called Rampoerah, by Lieut. Colonel DUNN the
Seapoys fought most gallantly, although led by no
other European Officers than some artillerymen.
The place is of importance.
Another letter, dated from Gen. WsI.I.E.SLEY'S
camp, June 6th, states, that they have been in the
field upwards of sixteen months, and for the last
fire, in a state approaching starvation, from the
famine which rages in that part of India, horses and
cattle dying from want! villages deserted, and their
miserable inhabitants perishing in the camp for want
of rice, which sells at a rupee per seer. It antici-
pates with fear the extent of the evil, and says in
conclusion, that the price-money (large as is its
amount) will not more than pay the Officers their
enormous expences. It is clear from the above,
that Hot is A • is di •i' a, but not subdued ; and, should
the famine increase, be may find time to recruit his
strength in his own dominions, during the monsoon,
it which our army must necessarily remain inative.

EXTRACT

TIME AN tICELLENT P AIIPHLILT JOST PUBI.ISNICD,

txrivLED, "A LECTER TO TUE FREEHOLDERS
Of MIDDLES/.1,.. AN ATTENTIVE OBSERVER.
After much Wort:Le:in and able argument upon
the stthjeft of the bit:: eleflion for Mid.'lcier, the
Author concluies with the following judicious ob-
servations

.....
" It is a considerdble drawback from the inestima-
ble value of the popular part of our Constitution,
that elections of members of Parliament are fre-
quently made occasions of tumult, riot, and de-
batichery ; insomuch that the licentiousness and
profligacy which often prevail at those times, and
the lasting injury which is thereby inflided on the
morals of all classes of the community, are consi-
derations ss hich impel every refleeting mind to re-
joke that such occasions do not more frequently oc-
cur. But the proceedings of which the county of
Middlesex has to complain are of so mischievous a
nature, that some security against their recurrence
seems essential to the preservation of whatever we
hold most dear. In that county, not merely have
the populace been excited to tumult and outrage,
in behalf of a popular candidate, of whose merits
they ate never qualified to judge; bat the infe-
rior orders have been universally inflamed and ex-
asperated against the laws, the magistracy, the jus-
tice, and the government, of the country, in such a
manner, that they were ready to follow any leader
rho could have condufted them to the demolition
of gaols, the destruftion of magistrates, and the ut•
ter subversion of the existing order of things. In
that county a systematic attempt has been twice
made, in the course of two years, to render the
forms of eleftion subversive of its rights, and, by a
boundless accumulation of the most gross and fla-
grant perjury, to overwhelm those laws which,
till then, corruption had sought only, in a covert
manner, to evade. In the first instance, it was
clearly proved that no resistance can avail against
such an attempt, when favoured by partial and cor-
rupt returning officers ; and, in the second, though
destitute of that advantage, yet the foul conspiracy
was so nearly successful, its defeat was attended
with so much difficulty, and the issue was, to the
last moment, so precarious, as to afford complete
demonstration of a truth highly deserving the con-
sideration of the Legislature ; that, as the law now
stands, returning !Acre ot ea elation, hat:ever virtuous,
• and utlive, art not armed with sti,eiest power;
to secure the eights of real timers from Lein;, aeolluxed
up tyPitiosir au t perjured voter,. The extreme de-
feftrveness of the powers of those officers must, in-
deed, be obvious to every one, who, without advert-
ing to the lamentable and alarming events which
have recently occurred, in the above unhappy
county, gives the important subjeCt a moment's
consideration. A mere breach of the peace, a com-
mon assault, will authorise, not merely a magistrate,
or a peace officer, but any bystander, to secure the
person of the offender, and deliver him up to jus-
tice; but perjury, which renders the life of every
man unsafe, by invalidating that appeal to the
Searcher of Hearts, which gives to the laws their
protefting force and invigorates the cause of justice;
perjury, which destroys that respeft for truth, which
is the bond of confidence between man and man,
and the very essence of virtue ; perjury, which aims
at the very esistence of society, by extinguishing in
the human mind all reverence for the Deity, and
consequently all sense of religion, without which,
as even atheists have allowed, society cannot exist ;
this most Jestruftive and impious crime, the pro-
mirar and the patron of all other crimes, and to
which air election affords the utmost temptation,
may be committed at au eleßion, to any extent, and
neither the returning officer, nor and other person,
has power to detain the criminal, or to make him
give security for his future appearance to answer the
charge. Before the person ut the offender can be
touched, the Grand Jury must have found a bill of
indiameat against him ; and then, as he has most
probably given in a false name and description, he
is not to be found.

" But is impossible for any one, who is solicitous
for the public order and safety, not to wish that
some remedy may also be devised to preserve the
first county in the kingdom, and the metropolis i❑
the heart of it, hum being again convulsed, by
means of an eleaion, fur fifteen Jays together, as it
has repeatedly hen, since the dissolution of the last
Parliament. This, too, is an objekct in which, not
merely the Freeholders of Middlesex, but all the in-
habitants of the kingdom, are deeply intere►ted.
Whatever tends to ale/ that immense and formi-
dable mass, the populace of a vast, an overgrown,
and a dissolute capital, should, for obvious reasons,
be most carefully avoided. But when that mass is
colleadd from day to day, during a whole fortnight
—when the artisans are drawn, dining so long a
period, from their various occupations, to the pur-
suit of some common objea, be it what it may—
when that ohjeef is rendered particularly interesting,
by its public and political nature—when those
swarms of ex iminals, which ever infest large cities,
and which are numerous and daring in propottion
to their bulk and licentioustte.s, are inspired, by such
an assemblage, with hopes of unre►trained rapine—
and when the minds of all arc maddened by the most
inflammatory topics, that the most desperate dema-
gogues can address to their respefhve feelings_
then has even the remotest corner of the kingdom
just cause for alarm. By such a pato%) sm, fraught
uith immediate danger to the whole community,
and tending, even after it had subsided, to the most
serious consequences, has the county of Middlesex
been lately agitated, for the second time, in the
nurse of two years; it still trembles from the re-
peated shocks ; and every inhabitant of it, who is
not an enemy to quiet and repose, shudders at the
thought of its being again so convulsed. And yet to
such a paroxysm it may again be exposed, not merely
by another General Eleelion, but by the result of a
petition, or by the death of au individual. Let it
not be supposed, that to guard against the return of
so great an evil, would be to sacrifice or endanger
the free exercise of eleetive rights. Those rights,
on the contrary, would derive additional security
from a preservation of public order and tranquillity
in times of Lleaion. And in every point of view,
the Constitution would derive stability from regula-
tions, which, by preventing Eleaions from being
scenes of tumult, outrage, corruption, and perjury,
should secure to real Eleelors the orderly, tranquil,
and exclusive enjoyment of their valuable franchise."
