the town. timmuneing that a meeting of the friends
of the Queen would be held on Wedgies:lay (this
day), at 12 o'clock. These Intl: Placard* did not

that hat been stuck up, of an intended public .
meeting here. It appears prolsoble, that some
serious representation ott the &abject must babe been

bury from London, at ten cicleck on Tuesday night,

Ireturned to Canterbury, and the other military to
their quarters, the notice appearing so evidriatly
to be a complete hoax.
