EXTRACT OF A LETTER FROM SALISBURY,

DATIID SATURDAY, FEB. 7 P. M.
" This dm), came on the elation for a Mem.
bet to serve in Parliament for Old Sarum, when
JOHN Ht4RNE TOOKEA Esq. was defied in the
room of Sir GEORGE Yo NCR, who accepted the
Chiltern Hundreds. The bells are now ringing.
on the occasion, and an elegant entertainment
was • provided at the King's Arms, which WU
attended by a select parry of Lord CAMELFORD'S
friends." •

The circumstance of Mr. To o x E's ha vingbeem
defied for Old Sarum, has naturally turned the
attention.of persons to the question of the elle::
bility, or non.eligibility, of a person hating'
been in Holy- Ordersi-to-sit in Parliament. Mr.
HATSEL, on the subjeft of the Clergy being,
eligible to SCIVe In ParliaMent, in his' book of
Precedents, says, " That persons, _ whether in •
Priest's or Deacon's Orders, are, with respe6l to •
the •charaler in , which
_they arc here • COITSi,
tiered, precisely in the same situation." —He
then adds. a note, that " There has been a formal
determination, of- the question by a Committee
under Mi. GiENVILLE'S. : On the 28th pf
January, 1785, a Petition was. delivered, com-
plaining of the- eldlion of EDWARD RUSH.
WORTH, for Ne*pOrt, as being a Clerk
in Holy Orders, and therefore incapable. to, Tic
eleded to serve in Parliament. The Committee;_
on the 24th of Feb. 1785, determined, That ED!:
WARD, RFSHW R Ty, Eli/tires was duly eleeted.s.
Mr. TeioKa is not ignorant that
. a qualifier.;.
tion is required to a Seat in Parliament, and lie

lie satisfied, upon Oath, the Commissioners of the

By the last letters from'St: Helena, advice has
been received that the AViterityr, SALIVA); -hal
arrived in the Bay of Bengal, from Port Jackson, •
with accounts from th'it Settlem4it to the 14th of
February. The ..Minerva was. emisloyed as a •
Transport, • and took to New'South,Wales' up-
wards of zoo United trishmen, amongst whom
were the Rebel Generals Holt,and O'Hara, Dr.
O'Connor, &c. &c. The B,4iallorr.u. had sailed
from Port Jackson with Dispatches for Canton,
previous to the departure of IVlinerva. ,
Letters from Port Mahon, Minorca, to the 3d.
January, state the island, to be tranquil. and
healthy. - The arrival of some Troops at Major- • ,
ca had led to an opinion that the Spaniards medi-
tated an attack, but the imputation was a libel '!
on their, discretion. The Centre:ix, of 74. guns,
was appointed to sail for England early in this
spring,
,with convoy.
Letters from ConStantinople, dated the 29th
of.Deceinber, state the arrival of Lieutenant
Colonel BROMLEY there, from the coast of
Egypt with dispatches for the Turkish Admiral,
having left the British squadron on the tith of
November.
At this period, MENOU, apprized of the fall
of Malta, and of the powerful expeditic.a that
was advancing against him, had again rejoaed
all overtures for the evacuation of Egypt ; he
had greatly improved, his means of defence, and
expressed full confidence in his strength.
He had made much progress in arming and in..
struaing in European tattics, the Greeks and
Caphtes, and had a corps of ten thousand of them
under the most rigid discipline, encamped AT
Minhia ; he had pledged himself to his army,
that previous to the close of the year, the num..
tier of native troops should be augmented to
thirty thousand. IVIURAT BEY, and IVlotitiAMEII
ELSI BEY, with some other persons of influence
in the country, who are become active instru-
ments of MENOU'S ambition, were exerting
themselves with considerable .cfreet in forming
these new levies.

The Boston Gazette, of the ist Jan. states,
that the Treaty with France having been pre.,
viou'sly printed for the use of the Members of the
Senate, Mr. MORRIS moved the adoption of a
rule, enjoining on the
_Members secrecy in the
case of all future Treaties, and the Proceedings
thereon, unless it should be otherwise direaed
by. the Senate, without reference to the Treaty
then before them. On this Motion the Senate
was equally divided, and the Vice..Ptesident gave
his casting vote against it.

The same Paper states; that the Hon. 0. EuLs-
WORTII had tesigned the Chief Justiceship of the
United States, in which he wag tube Wcceectsd
