GENERAL ELECTION.

TO THE WORTHY FREEMEN OF THE BOROUGH OF
KING'S-I.YNN.
is ORD WALPOLE and Sir M. B. POLICES are
induced, in consequence of the Dissolution of Parliament
which has now taken place, to solicit the Freemen of the Bo-
• sough of King's-Lynn, to replace them in the distinguished and
bonourabie situation of their Representatives.
Lord WALPOLI and Sir M. B. Four Ls presume to Batter
themselves that the s.une constitutional principles which have
hitherto invarlauly actuated their conduct, will ensure then, the
suffrages and support of the Worthy Electors on the present
oecceion.
Lord WALPOLIeS absence, upon a diplomatic mission to the
Court of Russia, must unavoidably prevent him from making his
personal solicitations to the Electors.

business, will enable me to fulfil those dutles.—l have the honour

virile the three branches were employed in their duty,
n explosion was heard, near the spot, which together
rith the smoke, that entered at the window, and the
trong smell of powder which filled the room, gave,
uspicion of some treachery. Persons were immedi.
lely sent to enquire and examine in the street, when

hick glass, filled with powder, nails, and other things,
and covered wi4l flax, that it might not break in its
