The Expectation of general Election next Summer grows so strong that Some Gentlemen, as we hear, are already gone down to Salisbury and other Places, in Order to make Interest against that Time. The principal Reason assigned for a new Election, is to defeat the Design of a Party who already began to talk of continuing themselves by their own Authority, in Case of M-y. But if they have Interest enough to get into the H-se again, does it not amount to the same as being continued beyond the usual Term by their own or any other Authority?
