Mr. KEMP'S Counfel contended that the ltigl.t
of EleCtion in Lewes was vetted in inhabitats,

on the other hand afferted, the right was in Ir'-•
bitants. Houfeholders. paying Scot and Lot, with-
out the additional q tali ticatiott of being frgai/Ar4ii.
In fupport of the former pofition it was pro7ci,
that it had been the ufage of the porough at ail
Eleftiont, to rejeCt the votes of perfons who refidel
in Lewes, under a certificate from any parifla
of the Borough, but to admit perfons to vote who
refided isa any one of the pariihes of Lewes, under
a certificate from another of thofe parifhes.—Hence
it was inferred, and indeed fuch was the univerfal
opinion oft•the oldeft Inhabitants in Lewes, that a
legal fettlement in fome or one of the parifhes in
the Borough, as well as residence as an Houfe.
holder, was a neceffary qualification. This point
would have been eftablifhed, had a pamphlet writ-
ten on the oceafion of a difputed EleCtion in 1754,
been admitted in evidence. On that occafion, a
Petition to the Honk of Commons being prefented,
and the Houfe deciding a particular point agaioll
the Petitioners, they abandoned the Petition,aad
the Houfe then determined in whom the right of
Eleftion was vetted.

As the returning Officers did not think them•
felces competent to decide this quellion of Right,
the Conceit became much narrowed, and Mr.
Kvar was confcquently induced to relinquilh the
Profccution of the Scrutiny I and his claim to the
return is now, therefore, refereed for the decilleas
of a Committee of the Houfe of Commons.

At the clofe of the fcrutity Mr. KEN? addreffei
the Eletlitors : after thanking them for pall favours
he obferved, that he had reprefented Leviei more
than 20 years, during which time he had preferved
their honour and his own—He had been tempted,
but had ever refilled—He had been a Member in
lubaanee not in form--never pairing off, hut mak.
ing a point of attending his duty in Parliament :
that they were debtors to him for his time fpent
in their fervice, and he to them for the gratifica•
lion, the honour of reprefenting them had over
his feelings. A temporary interruption had taken
place between them as Conflituents, and him their
Xeprefentativc ; but he was not the lefs attached
to the Borough, nor were his willies for their fun.

It was yeflerday reported that the Arrossry

Mr. PELTIER, and of which four numbers have
already made their appearance. This journal con-
tains a feries of fquibs, epigrams, and double wen-
deer on the public proceedings in France. We milt
that our own Government has, at the fame time.
defired a pi ofecution avintl the author of thelibel

have rewarded the affailin of BOY/PARTE with the
