LEWES.

The C.,mmittee met again en Saturday at 11. o'clock.
Mr. TALBOT, on the part of the petitioners, said that it was
not their irilenti at the present time, to prosecute the inquiry
with regard to bri;:ery ; but that he proposed at once to go to
the scrutiny.

Some coniultation then took place among Counsel on both
sides, and it was agreed by them that the ea.e should not be
proceeded with, and that certain rotes be struck oil the poll for
Harford and Elphinstone, the result of which was that
the Hon. Air. Fitzroy was placed in a majority of one over
Mr. Harford.

The room was then cleared, and on our re-admission,
The CHAIRMAN read the following resolutionoo which the
Committee had agreed :—" Resolved, that Summers Harford,
Esq., is not duly elected a burgess to serve in this pre via
Parliament for :he borough of Lewes. That the Hon. Henry
Fitzroy is duly elected, and ought to have been ieturned a
burge:s to serve in the present Parliament for the said borough
of Lewes. That the letition of Edmund Monek and Gabriel
Egles does not appi-ar to the Committee to be frivolous or
vexatious; and that the opposition to the said petition dries
not appear to be frivolous or vexatious. That the Committee
have altered the poll taken at such election, by striking off
the names of eertam parties."
The Committee then separated.

OFFICIAL CORRES POND EN CE

The following important correspondence has been recently trans-
mitted to us, by order of Sir Robert Peel, from the Treasury-office.
We need hardly add that we have it exclusive.

No. I.

London, I%farch 17th, 1842.

The Earthquake prrsents its compliments to Sir Robert reel, and
begs to suggest whether—as it has now answered the Tory purpose
of creating an alarm, and so diverting the attention of the public
from the Income Tax—it would not Le adviscable that it should re-
main perfectly gine...cent until some other and heavier scheme of
taxation be pralected, when it can again distract people's minds by
threats of its immediate approach.

No. II

Treasury, March 17, 1842.
Sir Robert Peel has this instant had the honour of receiving the
Earthquake's polite communication; and, in reply, would venture
to observe, that it is absolutely expedient that it should still con-
tinue to agitate the public mind, by threats of its approach, which,
however, can be conveniently postponed from week to week, until
the Income 'fax is carried, whe❑ it will be at liberty to remain as
perfectly quiescent es it could desire.

Sir Robert Peel regrets to add that there is no chance of the
Income Tax being carried Without an Earthquake!
