MONMOUTH.

Monday last being Charter Day, Mr. Charles
Heath was elected Mayor; Mr. Herbert Hams and
Mr. Hezeitiah Swift, Bailiffs; Thomas Tudor, Esq.
Coroner; and Mr. John Spencer Woollett, Cham-
berlain, of this borough for the year en.u'tig. A
greater number of Burgesses were assembled iii the
Hall than was ever before known on a similar occa-
sion ; and the above Officers were elected without
a single dissentient voice.
The M•TOR, in returning thanks, took occasion
to remark on the many calamities which it had been
predicted would fall on the town, on their
taking upon them, at a former eleetion, die
above offices, by observing, that Thomas Swin-
tierton, Esq. of Wonastow House (who was
then seated in Conn amongst them), the possessor
of the second landed fortune in the county ; his
son-in-law, Charles Kemeys Tynte, Esq. (son of
the worthy M.P. for Bridgewater, whom the bur-
gesses of that borough had chosen for their repre-
sentative, paying even the turnpike on his entrance
into town on the day of his election) ; Capel Leigh,
Esq. of Pontypool, whose ample Fortune was wily
secondary to the general esteem in which he was held
by the county at large; John Lucy Scudamote, Esq.
of Keistchurch-Paik (son of that father whose
memory would be ever dear to them fur his manl.y
and social virtues); and, though last, the first in
the enrolment, John 11. Moggridge, Esq. who had
so openly and distinguishingty come forth us the
Champion of the Borough—had a!! voluntarily pro.
claimed their wishes to he enrolled in the list of
burgesses. (and all in the short space of fifteen
mouths) ; which assurance of support nod assistance
in the muse would not have been given, had they
supposed that anarchy and confusion would be the
result of their receiving this high mark of confidence
from those *bout he had then the pleasureoladdresa-
ing. He concluded by observing, that it was not "
tuere figure of speech" that he returned them the
utmost extent of his gratitude for this second mark
of their confidence in his character ; and he ear-
nestly hoped (as he hail before expressed), that,
should he ever forget his duty to them or their in-
terests, they would as speedily hurl them from, so
they had raised him to, the proud station in which
lie stood before them.

The other Magistrates then addressed the bur-
gesses fur the saute honorary confidence, and after-
wards adjourned to the Jury-room, to partake of
cake and wine; when the Mayor, in the name of
himself and other burgesses, returned Mr. Swinner-
ton their respectful thanks for the distinguished man•
tier in which lie had received and entertained thetu
at his seat at Wutristow, as well ■s their best
wisher for the health of Mr. Tynte and all his
family ; which was acknowledged by Mr. Swinner-
ton in the most kind and gentlemanly manner to all
around him.

DOnELDORIF, OCTOBER 3—(PRITATE LETTER)
—Wednesday Moroing.—The urgency of the post
obliges me to confine this letter to a few lines. I
have just crossed the Rhine, and arrived here from
Aix-la-Chapelle, where his MAJESTY was to have
slept last night. An estafette canoe into that town
on the preceding day, announcing to the Marquis
of LONDONDERRY that his MAJESTY would cer.
tautly arrive yesterday evening, at six o'clock. Ac-
cordingly, Sir BENJAMIN BLOMESIELD, after
having made all the necessary arrangements fur his
MAJESTY'S accommodation, set out for this town,
where he ha. done the same; and on arriving at the
Hotel Breidenbach, I find that he has prepared
them to expect his MAJESTY at four o'clock this
evening. Munster is the next place at which his
MAJESTY is to sleep, and he will proceed thence to
Osusbruck, where it is supposed he will rennin' for
the day, in order to receive the flatiovcrian Autho-
rities, who will en to congratulate him on his al--
rival in his hereditary dominions.
A private letter from Hanover, dated September
23. says—" The visit of his Majesty the King of
ENGLAND to his German States us certainly a highly
gratifying event, yet it is certain that many of the
officers, both civil and military, whose incomes nr
general are very limited, will be deeply injured by
the expeuse which they will thereby be compelled to
incur. Great numbers of them will not only exhaust
their present means, but will be obliged to contract
debts, the repayment of which wil! ..ost them years
of privation. All the officers of .lie regiments of
Guards have been ordered to etpi;:. ineinstlves anew.
