They ran nearly equal for the first 100 yards, , 4ben the footman took the lead, and seemingly won without much difficulty. A Scottish Gentleman, who has undertaken to walk from Vauxhall a distance of 200 miles in three days, for 500 guineas, actually started at-one o'clock on Sunday morning last, agreeable to his engagement. The route he has taken is to Manchester by Knuts ford, being only twelve miles short of the 200,* for which a proportionable part of the time is to be de ducted. The first day he travelled with ease 66 miles by seven o'clock in the evening. No doubt being en tertained of his success, the bets have accordingly risen in his favour 4to 1. This pedeitrian is a native of koss-shire, ancrtravels in the Higlaind garb. His principal refreshment on the road is a little Fearintosh whiskey and oatmeal, which he mixes together in the shape of crcwdy. He is accompanied by a gentleman on horseback, . ; • MRS.

W.i.ea the packet left Gottenburgh our troops were still on board the transports. Colonel MURRAY had arrived, and was preparing to set off for Stock holm, to ;a-range the plan of operations. One letter which we have seen states, that the Swedish army had returned from Norway, the Danes having collected an army of 30,000 men to oppose them in that country. The above is the only intelligence deserving of notice, which has been received by this Mail Mr. HALLIDAY, one of the passengers in the vessel in which Lord ROYSTON perished, came over in the Lord Nelson. A large quantity of specie was transmitted to Cot tenburgh by the Lady Nepean packet, which sailed from Harwich on Saturday last. According to accounts received yesterday from Holland, above 40,000 French and Dutch troops have marched towards the Rhine. These accounts also state that a proposition has been made to the King of PRUSSIA to withdraw all the French force from his territories upon payment of a certain contri bution. Such m,:asitres are not improbable. BONA PARTE has been actively assiduous for some time back to send forces from every quarter towards the direc tion of Spain. Other accounts, received through the same channel, state, that in the dis:rict of Hamburgh and Bremen, the French have called upon the people to raise 3000 seamen for their fleets. An Admiral has been sent to Bremen and other ports, in order to see that all the merchant ships be dismantled, upon the suppositicn that when the sailors perceive that all prospects of getting to sea in'their own ships is cut off, they will not fail to enter into the French service. The following articles appeared in a Dutch paper of the 10th instant : " A camp is to be formed near Berlin of 40,000 French troops, Various reasons are assigned t (The French say—te eats the itthabi tants 1) " A Natisnal Guard is about to be organized in the Austrian dominions, similar to ttat adopted in France. A fortress of the first class is to be built in Hungary. • " The French Minister for the Colonies has sent a message to the Board of Commerce at Bourdeaus, ordering that all vessels bound to the Colonies must take on board from 30 to 50 soldiers, according to the size of the vessel, until 10,000 men shall have been in this manner conveyed to the West 'Aches. " The Spa-hh Guard has received orders to join the atmy of BZRNADOTTi in Holstein, and had began its march." The gun boats which the Americans have fitted out are, we understand, intended principally to cruize in the Bay of Finedy. Through this Bay, which se parates New England and New Brunswick from Nova Scotia, the American Government have disco vered that smuggling has prevailed to a considerable extent, particularly since the embargo was laid on be tween the United States and the British Settlements. The articles smuggled have been flour and lumber, which were afterwards conveyed to our West India Islands. To put an end to this species of contraband commerce, is, it now seems, the main object of the boats which the Americans are fitting out. Mr. PALI:Ea's per centage Bill was thrown out last night in the House of Lords. A material Amendment was made in the Scotch Judicature Bill on the subject of Appeals, at the sug gestion of Sir S. ROMILLY. As the Bill stood before, no appeals were to be allowed against interlocutory judgments before a final decision had been given on the whole of the merits of the case, except where the majority of the Court of Session should be of opinion that such appeal ought to be permitted. But as the opinion on the point of law would in many cases de -1 termine, whether it was necessary to proceed to the facts or not, it was contended, that the prevention of appeals to have the preliminary points settled might be often attent:ed with most enormous and unneces sary expence to the parties. It was, therefore, pro posed that the appeal should be allowed, provided any one of the seven Judges should think this proper. The LORD ADVOCATE agreed to this Amendment. Lady LOUISA MANNERS gave her third Grand As sembly on Monday night, at her house in Pall Mall. It was attended by almost every distinguished fa shionable about the metropolis. 77-wr , '.z
