circumstances respelling the Secret Expadi.

have thought it our duty not to violate the cautious
silence which we have hitherto observed. It is
to be commanded by Sir JAMES Casio, who will

as ha ; been stated.

Mr. H. Tmoasvoo last night presented in the
Ilulust of Commons a petition from G. B. M 4 lo-
w/42,M0, Esq. Sir W. CURTIS, and other Eledors
of is liddlesex, against the return of Sir FRANCIS
Butt Orr?, as a Representative in Parliament for
Got County, upon the ground of bribery. corrup-
tion and illegal votes. The Petition was ordered
to Ise taken into consideration upon the 9th of April.

•Phe eleven liamburgh Mails due, arrived yes-
te: day. Their contents, so far u they relate to the
S nth of Europe, are nearly anticipated by the
P 114 Papers received in the course of this week—
ed the news which they give from the North is
or important. Private accounts, however, fate,
t hit a body of French troops had appeared before

the City of Lubec, and demanded of the Citizens

two millions and a half of marks, with a threat,
that if this demand was not complied with, they
would take possession of the city. It is added,
that the Emperor of Russia, alarmed at this new
aggression of Bon A ars, and apprehending some
new encroachments, has ordered an army of 60,000
men to march into Swedish Pomerania ; where, in
conjunction with the Native Forces, it will form
a strong cordon for the protection of the North.
The former part of this account is confirmed by an
article in the Ifambergh Correlondenten, dated
Altona, 3d March, which states, that the French
troops had. for some days past, taken possession of
the villages in the neighbourhood of Lubec, and
held it in a state of blockade. Letters, from va-
rious parts of Italy, re-echo the report of the return
of the Toulon Fleet. It appears to have steered a
Southern diredion, and to have advanced as far as
Minorca in its course. The Rochfort squadron had
5000 troops on board, and is said to be destined for
the East Indies.

is with pleasure we hear, that the country is become
so tranquil, that the Judges, who were the marked
vidims of the misled populace, subsequent to the

by the people, and a military escort is no longer ne-
cessary w proted them in passing from one county
to another ; neither is the administration of justice
any longer supported at the point of the bayonet.
