ty Members, the minutes of which conversation
were communicated by Sir WILLIAM to his friends, a
Meeting of the Freeholders and Friends of the present
Members took place the 25 tti inst. at St. John's House,
Winchester. These minutes were read to the company,
and they in substance implied, that it was the inten-
tion of Government to start another Member against
IMr. Cutrrr, on a future Election, and against Sir
WILLIAM HEATHCOTE also if he made common
cause with tbat Gentleman. As Sir WILLIAM was
doubtful whether Lord TEMPLE spoke by authority
from. Lord GRENVILLE, it was resolved that the
minutes of the conversation should be transmitted to
Lord TEMPLE, that he might remove: that doubt.
Lord TEMPLE, in his answer, entered fully into the
subje&, and disclaimed having spoken from the au-,
thOrity alluded to. Two Resolutions were proposed,
one in favour of Mr. CHUTE, and the other pro-
posing Mr. CHUTE and Mr. THISTLEWAYTE to be
the future Members. •

The first Resolution passed unanimously ; but in-
stead of the second, it was proposed that as Sir WIL-
LIAM HEATHCoTE had, from his advanced time of
life, declined entering into any future contest, Sir
HENRY MILDMAY sljould be invited to become a Can-
didate. This ResoluTion also passedunanhnously; but
as Sir HENRY could not suddenly make up his mind
on the subject he, was left at liberty to a& as he
thought.proper on consulting with his friends. •
It Was Allen resolved that, to prevent cny misrepre=.
seitation, Lord TEMPLE'S Letter should be publish-
ed. 'The Meeting was very numeroucly rind re-
spMably attende.

717.2 Piznel p..ePszis,

SEPT. 20.--Since the departure of the
Grenadiers of the Emperor's Gund, the Dragoons of
the Einpress mount guard at the Thuilleriei. This
new corps is remarkable for its tine appearance and
the splendour of its uniform.
The German Journals, ,upon which Prussia may
have some influence, represent Saxony as seized
with a Warlike. transport. All the private letters
from Saxony, on the contrary, represent the disposi-
tions in that country as the most pacific. Li this
State, so quietly governed, Sovereign, Minister, and
Subje&, appear equally to desire the preservation of
that Peace whiCh t h eyh aye enjoyed for forty-four years.
Future events will afford politicians an opportunity
of observing how far the geographical situation of a
country can hqrry it away in opposition to its wishes
and its interests.
