The example of the e;ty of bzgins to ex-
ert its inticence. Addreffes are preparing from every
part of the country. In Itiisoifto a very numerous
meeting has been held, and a loyal and fpiriteJ Ad-
di els unanimoufly voted : anal that, we will venturf
to affirm, without the lead recommendation from
any perfon connected with Adininittration. It is,
indeed, as little needful' to prove the unanimity of
the country nn the prefect occafion, as it is to prove
that the fun thines at noon day. IVhere the country
is divided into parties, each will he eager to make a
public declaration of it's principles, and to excel the
other in zeal and ofientatinn. On the prefent occa-
fian, na difference of opinion e=ittg, and delay is not
the °TT:nig of doubt or indifference. But we know
that feveral counties and towns mean fpeedily to of
fenible to exprefs their fentiments, freely, and inde
dependently, rd that influence which in France pto.
duces addrelfes ;—firmly, and ferioufly, without the
ridiculous Bobadilian !samba which difgraces even
the tumid charaCter of the prefent Government of
France.

The Diichefs of MARLSOIMGH'S rout on Friday

Saturday afternoon, about three o'clock, a thunder
form commenced, which, particularly in the north.
call part of the city and the adjacent country, was
tremendoully awful. The m'irning was intenfelv hot.
and a thort time pre v 'was to the (torn, the Cent .tion of
heat became oppreffive. The drops of rain that fell
were larger than any we ever yaw, and the tky had a

of Holborn, who from Vie top of a houfe watched the
progrefs of toe norm from tooth to north call, lays,
that the flathes of lightning were of the moll vivid
forked kind ever beheld ; and had they been con•
trailed with the darkoefs of the night, would have
afforded ideas awfully fublime. During the. Rona,
the lightning defcended by the chimney of the houfe

On Thurfday morning, about fix o'clock, the
powder.mill at Stobbs, near Edinburgh, blew up with
a dreadful ex plolion. The accident originated in the

currence three perfons have 101 l their lives. one of
whom, we are lorry to lay, is Mr. Hours', a pro-
prietor. At the time the explolion took place. he
was on the outride of his garden, with a foot rule and
a pencil in his hand going to meafure Come wood.—
In a moment a large ftone fell upon him as if from
the firmament, flruck bim on the left (boulder. and
carried away his arm. The body was thrown into a
ditch, and the atm was driven through a hedge into
his own garden; the foot rule and pencil were found
in the fame direetion.—There were two men in the
corning boufe when it blew op. One of them was
fluttered to pieces: pan of his body was found about
soo yards from the hoofs, and in different direflions;
the other was buried *midi! the ruins. dreadfully
bruited. and half roared. HE was dug out alive,
and though in inespretfible agony, his recollestios
had not forfaken him, but he could rive no account
of the mute of the accident. He lived till one o'doek
