NTDDLISIX ELECTIN.

Mr. Surtinas role purfuant to his notice, to move
that the petitioning Candidate for the County of
Midiikftx, or his Agent, fhould tranfmit to the Sit.
ting Mcraber, or his Agent, lids of the Freeholders
whole votes had been objefted to at the tali Elation,
and that the Sitting Member (horrid do the fame; 1
and that the Paid lilts fhould be delivered on ur before
the 3oth day of this prefent month of June. He
hoped that the mind of every Gentleman would be i
wholly divefted of prejudice on clic cineflion. It was
merely a matter of convenience for both parties. Mr. ;
Mainwaring had had five months notice at the time
when the exchange of the litl, had been fixed for the '
Ift of May. His objet was that the lilts fhould be ;
made out before the end of the prefent Seflion of
P-rliament. But if any Gentleman .contended that
that was not fufficient time, he would have no ohjec-
tion to put off the time to next Sellion of Pailia•
merit. If the lifts were all delivered during the pre.
fent SelTion, there would be fufficient time to fcru-
tinize all the votes before the next Scfßon, by which
means the parties would come prepared ; and the
time of the Committee for tiling the merits of the
Elation would he confiderably fhortened. If the
lifts were not delivered in the prefent SeCion, it
would require lix months to try the merits of the
Elation.
The Sec AR ER took necalion to obarve, that there
was an order already made for exchanging lids un
the 4th of Auguft.
Mr. SHJCIDAN put his nio7ion.
It was OittetCJ to by Mr. likaon v.
Mr. Fox t might the mot,. an was favourable to both

He withed, therefore, that the lifts might be (pa-
ddy arefcnted.
On the fuggeflion of Mr. Bragge, Mr. Sheridan
amended hit motion, by inferting the 111 of Novem-
ber, inflead of the Both of June, and in that fhape
the motion was put and agreed to.

The appointment of bk. Ti ERN EY, in the room of
Mr. BRAGG E, to the place of Treafurer of the Navy,
is not the only new arrangement intended to take
place. Lord Mont*, it is Paid, is to come into the
Cabinet ; and Earl Sr. VINCENT to be fuccceded in
the Admiralty by the Hon. C. YORKS, the prefent
worthy Secretary at War. It is reported too that
the Duke of PORTLAND is to fucceed the Marquis of
SALISBURY, hut this we believe to be merely rumour.
—lt is Paid alto that Lord CASTLEREAGH and Mr.
STEEL are going out.—We have not heard who are
to be their fucceffors. One thing is obvious—fome
of the adherents of the-Old Adminiftration have been
making a great cry about ftrengthening the Cabinet,
in the modeft perfuafion that any addition of men of
abilities would neceffary include themfelves ! Mr.
ADDINGTON teems to have followed their advice in
ftrengthening himfelf—againft their attempts to un-
dermine his influence !
A few days will throw more light on the (late of
parties. In the mean time fomerhing may be ga.
thertd from the part taken in the debates in Parlia-
ment. Laft night, in the Houfe of Peers, Lords Fs T Z
WILLIAM, SPENCER, GRENVILLE, &c. were for vot
ing Refolutions cenfuring the conduit of Minifters in
the late negociation. Lord Metvatts, Lord Mot-
GRAVL, &c. propofed the adjournment, merely to get
rid of the qucflion fel- the prefent, becaufe they can.
not wholly approve or condemn the concitifl of Mi-
nifters. This middle courfe will, it is laid, be 101-1

It is generally believed in the firft circles, that
the Ruffian Ambairador at Paris, the Count de Maa-
cors,has been inflated by the Crit sr CON stn. in the

molt grofs and indecent manner. It is Rated that
the Ambalfador having prefented a remcasftrance to
BONAPARTE, in confequence of the unjuft imptifon-
ment of the Englifb in France, the CONSV c replied in
the moll outrageous terms. It is even faid, that he
employed manual violence. At all events, the gene-

The Hamburgls Mail of this day has brought us
Come important details. The accounts from Hano-
ver (late, that the Proclamation of his MAJESTY as
Eleflor, has produced that effeet, which might be
expefted among a people jealous of their national in-
dependence, and flrongly attached to their Sovereign.
Hanover, in confequence of its increafed population,
is now able to turn out 200,000 men able to bear

arms ; and therefore there is reafon to think, that if
the French (Wild be fo bafe as to violate the rights
of neutrality, by making an attack on that Elate-
rate, they will meet with a more formidable oppofition
than they esped. The prefence of his Royal High-
nefs the Duke of CAMBRIDGE still, no doubt, ennui.
hute to ftrengthen that fpirit of patriotifm manifefted
by the Hanuverians, and induce them to repel with
vigour fo unprovoked an aggreflion.
HANOVER, MAY 19.—We have received unet•
peEted orders from our moil Gracious Sovereign,
to take defenfive meafures immediately. Though
cur KING is determined, in cafe of war, to obferve
the ftrietelt neutrality as Elector, yet the movements
of the French troops in Holland render fame pre-
cautions neccfrary. All males capable of (Crying
in the whole country are to be regifterzd, in which
order all perfons whatfocver, who are not Already in
civil or militat v employment are included, without
Iretina to ; ank sr- perfi,a. No one %s ill be obliged to
fcrve out of the country. It is thought the Duke of
CAMBRIDGE MI:111.1Ye the Command.
Mar e2.—Every .I.lng, wears a m-sre mi:tiary ap.
pearatsce. In reference ,r) the order of the 1 eith, a
leyy :n MIA is et derld in tit is hole F.l.A.nate, in-
ci inla; all able perfons from a ,;;; to ;char as fame r.iy
43 years of age, to he eAlkd oat in cafe of
m ne:d.—l
The population of the Etc:toe btu% now above

1,000,000, it is calculated that 200,000 men may be
raifed for the public defence.
Notwithflanding all there preparations, we ails
hope that the theatre of war will be kept at a dif
tance from the German Empire, and particularly
from the Northern part of it. We expea the happiell
effeas from the mediation of the Courts of Peterf.
burgh and Berlin.
CELLS, MAY 22.-Our regular force confats now,
exclufive of the Life Guard, of ten regiments of ca-
valry, and twelve regiments of font, befides the artil•
lery and engineers—Commander in Chief, his Ex-
cellency Field.Marfhal Count WALTIODIN; his Royal
Highnefs Prince AnoL►aus, Duke of Cambridge,
Lieutenant• General, and Infpeaor of the cavalry and

infantry.
LUNEDIAG, MAT 22.—Here, and in every part of
the Electorate, all perfons capable of bearing arms
are already regiftered. The greateft enthufam for
the defence of the country every where prevails. It
is reported that a confiderable body of Preßan troops
is dcftined to form a cordon in North Germany—but
this requires confirmation.
