What this attempt at negotiation may lead to, time only can thew—probably only a little more delay; for it is not probable that France will re linquith the territories the has annexed to her do minions, and without this the caufe for umbrage re mains unaltered.

Non Woe It was an action brought by a very tefpe&able (hop. keeper againft the Manager of one of the principal Theatres, for enticing away, and feducing his only daughter, Mifs Honoria Baker, and engaging her without his content, as one of the performers in his company of tragedians. It appeared by the evideece of the father. that the young Lady had received a good education, but was pa ftionately fond of the dra matic art t in fat, another Hyppolite Clairon. She frequented private theatres, but I. far was he from indulging this propeality. that he ferved her precife ly as that celebrated lard's had been treated-4w locked her up—his precautions were in vain—the contrived her efcape, Bat by what means he was at a lots to conjeaure. Ht fought after her for leveret weeks, and began to defpair of move' big her, when he accidentally heart' the was playing a principal character in the Defendant's company at Bartholo. mew Fair. He went and found her arrayed in the gorgeous coftume of Clytemnefira, and upon his in fil on taking her home, the Defendant Interpol poled, and declared he had engaged her at a liberal falary, and thould compel her to fulfil her engage ment. The Plaintiff attempted to ufe force, but he was felon overpowered, and he had no means of re drefs but an appeal to the Court of Pied Poudre.. The complaint having been fully Rated, the Defen dant Paid the young woman came to him in company with a young man, who profeffed himfelf her hat band. He had no reafon to doubt the feet, particu larly as the Lady's appearance evidenced her cogni zance of the comforts of matrimony. He engaged them both, and this, he Paid, was the fum and fob fiance of his offence. It turned out that.the lei &fest hutband had been long a pei former in the Defendant's company, and had a wife before ; and it was infer red that the Defendant could not have been igno rant of this, and confequently that he mull have been participant in the feduftion of the Plaintiff's daughter. Ihe Steward of the Court addtclred the Homage in a very fenfible fpeech : he obferved, that offences of this kind (truck at the root of frciety ; that fuch atrocious ails were calculated to being down judg ment on the fair ; that it was a mercy the floe m had not levelled every booth with the gtound,performers, managers, and all. It was the duty of the Defeo. dant to have made an enquiry concerning fo young a girl, before he prefumcd to engage her, and how ever he 'night be ezeufable in a moral point of view, for his attention to his own interell in obtaining a valuable allrefs, yet the parent who had 101 l the kr vice of his child was juttly entitled to a reafonable compenfation. The Homage were of the fame opinion t--they awarded the Plaintlf si. damages, and ordered the Defendant to reftore the girl, The Defendant was obliged to comply with the eonditims before he could be permitted to recommence his performances.
