Preparations have been made at the House of

to proceed in state to-morrow to prorogue Parlia-

Nothing. ever exceeded the abundance of the crops
of corn of every kind in the northern provinces of
France ; though it is neared that .they may have
been laid by the late heavy storms of rain and hail
which have taken place in that country.
On Tuesday last, ar Mr.Watliuson, of Thorpe on
the Hill, Lincolnshire, was r'Jturning home, he per-
ceived somethipg unusual at a covered spring on the

flaunt his own child, a boy three; years of uge, bud

was held by Mr Moven, Coroner, on the following

taun, pursuant to previous appointment, for his
Waihip's answer to their application ; when he
gave them some most wholesome advice, and pointud
out the inutility,of the proposed meeting, and the •
impossibility that it could tend to any good purpose;
that it was, in fact, more likely to.prove highly in-
.piricus to thern,..and ilingerous,ta the cominualt:: at

gistrates, his ....ty to the ruhlie. at large forced him
,to refuse eallim, the required meeting. In amse.
