LYNI..-.• Friday evening, about 7 o'clock, this city
was thrown into alarm bythe sudden appearance of the
Brunswick Hussars, fully accoutred, marching into
our Market-place from the Horse Barracks, under a
supposition, from orders they had received, that there
was a riot in the city, but on inquiry it appeared that
an express had arrived from the Mayer of Lynn, re-
questing the assistance of a detachment of Dragoons,
as a disturbance had broken out amongst the sailors
in the merchants' service at that place ; after this ex-
planation the military were marched off in that direc-
tion. It is reported here that the merchants signified
on Thursday their intention of reducing the wages of
the seamen from sgs to a+ the voyage, and on the
refusal of some of them to comply with those terms,
and using strong language, two were committed to
the gaol. On Friday morning several hundreds as-
sembled, and proceeded to the gaol, and after assault-
ing the Mayor and constables, forced the door with
the boom of a vessel, and released the prisoners. They
also stopped all vessels from proceeding to sea, and
obliged the crews to leave the ships.—(Norwich
Paper.)
Sunday last twotroops of the sth Dragoons marched
from Ipswich, on their route through Stow-market
and Thetford, for Lynn. And on Monday last about
50 of the Bedford Militia passed through here in
waggons, on their route from Colchester to the same
place, for the purpose of suppressing the riot among
the sailors there, but which has happily subsided
without bloodshed.—. (dory Paper.)

The Speculative Society of Edinburgh, it seems,

century, has at last conk to the ration/1 coaclosiou
of having a...dianer.
