In most countys in England they are allready soliciting for Votes each party for Parliament men, for a new Parliament the high Church con- clude there will be, and the Whigs seems to fear it ; as for the Duke of Shrewsbury 'tis said he has promised the Whigs to be intirely in their interest and has promised the same to the Torys. Lord Halifax is to be marryed to lady Burling- ton. S'' Thomas Skipwith died last week at the Bath, and 'tis reported to that Jack How is dead also there.
