LONDON, June 4.
Tefterday several private letters were received
from India, brought over in the American {hip
Major Pinckney, Hyatt, arrived at Dover from
Bengal. Theie were various reports in circulation
concerning unpleasant news from this quarter cf
the world, which ftemed to be countenanced by
a sudden fall of India stock. It was infilled that
the rpifrit of mutiny had rather increased than dL
-1 minilhed among the native troops in lnJia. Al
though wc fear that there is foms'foundation for,
reports of this nature, we could not learn any pre
cise fads on which to form an accurate judgment.
No official adviccs were received.

PARIS, June 2.
The Proclamation of Buonaparte, written in
the stile of Hannibal, and in similar circumtlances,
announces to his foldiere his march to Rome ; and
we do not fee at prefe«t any circumstances that can
prevent his triumphant march. He is now in the
dominions of the Pope, who can only oppofepray
ers to our triumphant armies.
It still is affirmed that we have entered Leghorn.

Head Quarters at Milan, 2 Prairial. i
" The rapid progrsfs 1 havo madfcfor the lift
fortnight, has not left me one moment s Icifure. I
have proceeded from Chamberry to Plaifance, to ;
Pizitig Litono, returned to Chamberry, and in 15 .1
days joined the army at Milan, If my march was 1
rapid, that of the army of Milan was not less so. 1
It has gained, and is daily gaining, fuccefies at 1
which Europe mull look with cenfternation. Ihe i
battle of Lodi, which was obtained by one of these
strokes of audacity sb peculiar to Frenchmen, affu- .
red us vh« conquest of the whole ot the Milanele. <
« In that country we find immenle resources of ]
tvfcry kind. Oura-my which entered Italy, in a 1
very enfeebled condition, is now restored, and in 1
•the finell situation. Beaulieu confounded, is indo- 1
fed in the marsh of Mantua. We proceed in quest i
of him, and (hall notgive him a moment's repose. 1
The Auftriam army njuft be totally destroyed. 1
This obdacle being removed, we Jhall find no diffi- I
culty in marching to the Capitol. The entree of t
the French -army into Milan wai brilliant Xn th<
extreme, the acclamations of the people were frf-o- <
digious in the extreme ; and the inhabitants after 1
flocking to view the victorious troops, spent the reft (
of the evening in balls, suppers, and entettainments.
The national cockade was mounted, and a national ;
guard formed to do duty with the troops. Some
ruffians attempted to pillage during the tumult, but :
the mod dangerous were apprehended. A munici- 1
pality was formed of the mod rel'peftable eitizens, \
and what is molt extraordinary a Duke is at their
head. '
" The army obfei ves the drifted'difcipline. It ]
is scarcely observed in Milan that the peopla are in 1
a conquered city, and that ij} the siege of the caf- (

CAMBRIDGE, May 28.
ELECTIONS USELESS ! 1
The amazing ihcreafe of public spirit fi'nce the
diflblution of Parliament, seems to-be sure to con- 1
tradift this idea, The columns of some of the
Newspapers teem with warm expreflionsof concern-.
soTs tkc p ttolie welfare 1 and Candidate* rcpcAt
their septennial ritual with sb much fervour, that
for a moment one really is apt to think them serious, !
while they so devoutly talk of " guarding our rights |
fnd liberties,'' " prejerving our constitution invio
late, &c. &c.
Yet 1 repeat—Eledions are useless ! and I adduce
the following pafTage from the life of Lord Chat
ham as a proof:
"In Match, 1764, Mr. Pelham died—Mr. ,
Fox (afterwards Lord Holland) wished to succeed
Mr. Pelham as Secretary of State, and it is very ,
probable that his request would have been granted, 1
had he not infided upon having the management of
the House of the Commons, which the Duke of
Newcastle refofed ■! ' (
" The management of the House of Commons, ,
(as it is called) is a confidential department un
known to the conditution. Ia the public accounts
it is itnmerfed under the head of Secret Service. ,
" It is usually given to the Secretary of State, ,
when that pod is filled by a Commoner. The bu
siness of the department is to diftrißute, with art '
and policy, amongst the members who have no ,
odenlible places, funis of money for their support .
during the ; besides contrails, Lottery Tick
ets, and other douceurs, it is no nuconjmon cir
cumstance at the end of a feflion, for a gentleman
to receive five hundred or a thousand pounds for ,
his services." [

Of what use then ar« Elections ? If you ele<& aa

man, his voice is not heard ? for the voice of wis
dom has but a poor chance again ft all powerful

locity of lightening, daits convidhon into waver
ing minds.
What makes all do£trines plain and clear,
About five hundred pounds a-ycar;
And which was prov'd true before.
Prov'd falte again ?—Five hundred more !
For my part, while things are so managed, I
fltall not vote at all, though J

On Wednesday lad the Eleflion came on for the
city of Norwich, when the Hon. Henry Hobart,
and the Right Hon. W. Wyndham, had been no
minated, a poll was demanded for Bartlett Qjnney,
Esq. at the alofa of which the numbers were,
For Mr. Hobart 1622
Wyndham — 1159
Gurney — 1076
When it is considered, that only four dayselapf
ed feetween the arrival ot the writ, and the day of
, eleaion, that the friends of Mr. Gurney had but
24 hours to carry on their canvas, that their rel'olu
tion of not procuring votes by threats, promises, or
» rewards, was ftriftly adhered to ; and that the War
■ Miniftcr carried his election by dint of Government
: influence, corruption, and by out-votes, (of the re
t fident votes, Mr. G. having a majority of 112);
Mr. Wy ndham has little reason to boad of his vic
tory over aa opponent, who was on a family visit
] in the North of England, and was totally igiiaunt

Mr. W. dreading the effe& of that -popular in

ctlftomary on fugh occasions. Mr. Gurney was ,e
---prefented by his relttion, Mr. Hudson Gurwy,
who was received by the people at iarge wrth eve'

; Some of those Candidates, who fat in ihe late
- Parliament, and uniformly yqteci for the continu
ance of the war, have now, from the terrors of a
f personal contest, found it politic to a pacific
i note. They are full of expressions of heartfelt gfa. •
i titude for the favours of their constituents, and de.
• voted attachment to their interests. What .weight
: is to be attached to those profeffions, their former
conduct has fuffiaiently evinced. In another Par,

.' tations, the Minister will again command their at- *
f tendance and their votes.
