words:—." Mr. Mayor,. I have the honour to propose a gen-
tleman alto acts as a magistrate in one of the midland contr.
ties; a gentleman of great property and respectability ; a
gentleman possessing truly constitutional principles; a gen•
Ilona,' who will weevil over and protect the rights sad privi.
pages of this most ancient sad respectable borough ; a gentle-
man %these name is Mr. Fludyer, —Flutlyer, Esq. of Ay ton,
in the county of Rutland." Sir James's recommendation was
seconded by Lord Lowther, in his brit manner. The Mayor
then put the question whether J. 11sislyer, Esq. should be
elected by the tree and•iudependent burgesses of the Isotonic!'
of Appleby, which wai unanimously approved of. After
same pause, Mr. Wybergh got up, the Coust being unusually
silent and attentive, and adelressed the Mayor as (allows:—
Mr. Alaysr, I nominate and appoint Lucius Commuting', Esq.
Member for this borough. Alr.Wyhergli was then asked by
the Mayor the place of Mr.emicannan's residence ; to which
Mr. Wybergh replied in a load voice, ". Afr. Mayor, f neither
knew nee care." Mr. Cracketerhorpe then said, " I second
tills nomination and appointment;' and Mr. Coneannon was
then declared duly elected.

The inmost order and decorum was preserved during the
whole of this mockery of election. Sir James Graham de-
sired to know if Mr. Wy kergli intended to be chaired, to
which 111 r. Wybergli replied, that he Was afraid of exciting a
disnsrliance in the town, and as no special constables 114(1
been appointed to preserve the peace, he requested Sir
James wutdd have the goodness to he chaired for both. A
difficulty arose between Lord Lowther and Sir James, how
the name at Mr. Fludyer was to be spelt—the first insisting

Thus ended this election of two independent burgesses for
the ancient and truly respectable bormizli of Appleby.

Ara'ca.—While Capt. Gray is to sastleavonr to penetrate
to Tomhnetoo from the Gambia, Mr. Richic, late private
Secretary to Sir C. Stuart, at Paris, and Capt. Marryat, of
the Royal Navy,ate to attempt a journey towarskit in another
direction. The firmer gentleman is appointed Vice-Consul
at Moerzuuk, In the interior, the capital t.f Fezaan, a de.
pendency of Tripoli, whose Governor is the son of the Rey
of that kingdom. These geattemen are also sanginue of
snceess; as the protection of the Bey is guaranteed to them,
and the journey is not so perilous from that cause as by
other routes, although they have the great Zaharrals to pass,
and must be 'eight days without meeting with water. As
usual, the French have been before us ; and 4 Spakiard, who
travelled in Egypt fur Buonsiparte under the assumed name
of Ali Bey, has actually set off. It is already known, that
Mr. Boit/dick, and some other gentlemen from Cape Coast
Castle, have penetrated into the Ashantee ronutry, and been
well received, after some opposition from Daendels, formerly
one of Buonaparte's servile tools, but now the representative
of the. King of the Netherlands. Some curious information has
been received by this means, which, it is thought,gives more
probability to the death of Mango Park than any that has
hitherto appeared. Mr. Howbeit met with some Moorish
merchants, who had been at Haonssa, who stated, that while
they were at that place, a white man was seen going down
the Niger in a large canoe, in which all the other persons
were Blacks. This was reported to the Kiug, who imme-
diately sent some of his people to advise I ' to return ; and
to till him, that if he proceeded mach farther he would be
destroyed by the cataracts. The white man, mistaking the
good intentions of the King, persisted in his voyage.—
The King seta a large party to seize him and bring hint
to Haonssa, which, after some opposition, they effected,—
Here he was detained lov the King tor leo years, at the end
of which time he took ill of a fever and died. The merchants,
who relates' this tale, declined, that they had seen the white
man Haonssa. Whether this person was Mune° Park, or
Isis compassion. Lieut. Mao tyii, the last known survivor of the
pat ty besides himself, no meal's exist of wee, taining, although
tlicre are strong seasons for supposing that no other white
persons coul.l 1,.,►c been in the hue, ior of Africa in the situa-
tion described.

The inhabitants of St. Dicta hate discovered a most sin.
gidar plant. In a cavern of that isle, near the sea. is a Isirge
basin, hum 12 to 15 fret deep, the water of which is vet),
brackish, and the bottom composed of rucks. From these at
all times proceed certain 111C11 present at first
