Last night, at 10 O'clock the troops were again call
ed out to maintain Tranquility that hour, the min
lister bardaxina proclaimed by torch light that his
Jesty would nor be his capital until the 18th inst

per- called the Regulator appeared in the follow
ing paragraph.-i is affirmed that his Britannia Ma
Ies, George the Fourth viii do himself the honor OF
taking second wife in his present journey the con-

object OF general execation nevertheless enjoy all the
