mittee, which was Used for yesterday in the [louse
of Commons, upon the Petition of Mr. SHERIDAN

SHERIDAN having declined to prosecute the Peti-
tion. It is said, that if Mr. SnEll DAS had succeeded
in removing Lord Cocuetawa from his seat, the
Bruutrr party had it in contemplation to set up
Mr. Roscov for Westtninster, and to maintain is
election in the same manlier in which they support-
