THE Trlli. AVATFuRD RACES. These races were never better attended than they mere on . riday and Saturday last. Upwards of SOOO were pre :'cut, in which were a number of per sons of distinCion. Among them we noticed Lrd 'ioAnkNoos, the Hon. Mr. V:t.i.css, Sir TifON AS TI!'.)MPSON, Colonel O'KELLy, Mr. WOOOnAN, and Mr. Srusots. On F:iday a silver cup, value 631. was run for on Bushy Meadow, by seven galloways in three mile heats. Only five continued the! contest ; one me; wi•h a severe accident in spraining his and and the other gave up the contest. Mr. C 411 T. witionv's proved the vhhr, which WAS Isr,:d by Lord Ct.a a ct.non, and Ili , : Lordship said he never stw a better race at New market. In the afternoon a 401. bowl was run for by five ponies. At start ing it was di,covered that a grey pony was rather tia) high for a poney, when the cruel mode of re ducing height was resorted to of contrading his sinews to make him short enough. On Saturday a race for 501. was run for by Mr. S hcrse, and Mr. WOOMI A At'S grey mate, which was won by the latter. The same jockey as rode Mr. GA LLOW A Y'S. A race between Mr. llmaso AW'S poney and two others. It was a very hard race; Mr. H.'s poney only won it by half a neck. This poney has only one eye. . . 7.1 r.

Stmt.+ by Stnde 3 Sir R. swinees bay co:t, Auftioneot, 3y. h. . . 3 2 ELOPE As elopement to Gretna Green has lately been meditated and prevented, under the following cir. curastances :—A young lady, possessed of a consi d'rabie fortune, at the age of seventeen, who re sides at Preston, had formed an attachment to a gentleman, but her I . :Jibe: had a great aversion from the mat: h. Her correspondence or intercourse with him were strialy watched. The young L.cly was in the co , s• ant habit of taking a walk before dinner ; and on the day of her flight, her lover had a chaise ready az the end of the town, leading to the North, with wh'cli he was in waiting to carry her off. She %trial): obeyed the voice of Love, and, instead of taking her usual a alk, went with all possible speed, as sons 34 she left her father's house, to the obje& her off dim, sod they instantly departed for :retna Green. N'Uss not returning at her usual , inie to prepare for dinner, some sus; ;don arose, ind, after enqu7ries, no doubt remained of her ;light; and the toad they had taken heing aseet •ained, the father and several others set off in pur- Alit of them, and traced them to Lancaster, where it a, d'scovered, they were not suspicious of a par as :h v were only travelling with a pair of horses, and did not aprear in very great haste ; this em u t, it is supp').ed, xas Adopted to Avoid suspicion. They certainly pursued their flight without any elk. itigeirent, for tuey proceeded slowly, without going nu' r•fthe main road. At Lancaster, the father and his friends, after changing horses, continued their pursuit, according to the information he had pro cured. When he arrived at Mutton, he learned that they had not long left that plate for Kendall ; in consequence of uh:ch he employed a man to ri .e off with the greatest speed possible, to pass the chaise, and to lieu to Kendall before them, for the purpose of getting the constables cf that town to secure them an their arrival there, in both of which be succeeded ; he passed the lovers on the road, and arrived at K. rid el time enough to engage the cops ahles to .oast tile chaise. '1 he bustle and confusion anion the ceneahles, and the arrival of the ihaise wi h a lidy and gentleman guarded, pro- ducr.l , 4 re it alio m, d coile&ed an immense crowd. Some thought it was Jerome Pooaparte and his lady ; others, that it was some great state criminal and his wife. Just as the chaise entered that town with the lovers, the father, on horseback, came up with it, and rode through the town by the side of the chaise, shaking his stick in at the window, and, in a most violent passion, threatening them with punishment, to the no small amusement of the multitude, who were assembled to behold tbi. novel sight. the chaise stopped at the Crown len, when it was surrounded by constables. Miss leaped out of the chaise, and, with the greatest heroism, made her escape from the constables, hue they pursued, and succeeded in securing her. Tbry conveyed her into a room on the first floor of the Inn, where she was soon followed by her father and her lover. On the father's entrance into the loom, is a violent rage, he struck his clangleer twice with his stick, which was resented by her_ lover, who was not likely to have much influence over him to soften his rage; the father was then about to strike the lover, but was pi evented by tlair constables. They then agreed to strip, and light it out, bet were prevented by the interference et the constables. In the midst of this confusion, Miss, with great lot tituJe, told her father she would very willingly comply with his wishes in any thing else ; but, in this, she must judge for herself : her affeetions were fizsd, and her father's opposition was in vain, as she was determined to have her lover for her husband, and none other. She was obliged, very raluetaxatly, to return with her father to rrestoo. BON4PARTE : A SICETC:I. e 1. I subscribe to-the opinion, that Bonaparte is. far from being the great general of his tare ; because that opinion appears 'to be used and tinive. - sa!, liut the opinion that Bonaparte is also the great polar oars of his time, I hold to be either premai Tare, or I:ut partially right, or wrong altogether. 'Pi e ma; ; inasmuch as his relility for a government of peace has not yet been tried : Partially right; because he appears to have discovered and operated, what was never discovered and ope rated before, viz. the means of depriving his coan try of every public alliarce—of alarming it into the utmost exertions of which it is capable—of per petuating that alarm—and of hiding from all hu man view the probable period of its duration. or the means of dissipating so formidable an evil. Yet this is but the policy of a military man, :tering in military circumstances; or, rather, it is the r-sult of an accidental supetiority Cl. military pnwe ; and . would leave the cbaraeler of a turersign foal enema. 6te) still defective and incompetent. imagine any thing like the amor potrix in one that is a fo roiguer to the country he rules, and who - has crept up into an empty throne (as any other bold and fortunate demagogue might have done), amidst the fears and follies of a people harrassed by all the varieties of oppression, and terrified by a vidorious banditti under his influence, is absurd ; and to any thing of the pateraet complexion, so attractive in Henry the Fourth of France, in some of the Romans, and more amiably perhaps than any other, in our native Alfred, we are as much strangers, as we are to any mixture of the same in gredient in his domestic character, as a private citi zen; and while the names of Cyrus and Trajan are prophaned to make comparisons K ith him, his heart, grasped wholly by an ambition, vast, indeed, in its dimensions, but fantastic and unavailing in its views, is too cold to low any Mini r: He is nei ther the father of a family, nor the father of his people : lie reigns, and only can reign, by ads of power, under the stigma of a stranger and an usur per. A military politician is the substance of his charaaer.—the leader of an army trained up to po. lineal ignorance, hardened by bigotry, and heated by enthusiasm : A man made great, not by heroism or true virtue, but by arts, accidents, and desperate prattices ; to say nothing of those paltry imitatiaris of antient heroism, which have not escaped observa tion, and, consequently, must materially detract from his reputation. His contempt of commerce, and his evident indifference to all the substantial, enriching, and comforting arts of peace, have appeared, either positively or negatively, in every art he has done, either as an agent of war, or as a sovereign of nations ; and his occasional areaations of a snore favourable disposition, like those of a highway. man at a feast, or a sermon, have only served to render his real absence and coldness more ap parent. His expression. that u the English were a nation of shopkeepers and cowards," might alone decide t is part of his charalter. It was not the expression of an honest citizen in a harrassed and impoverished state, that he wished to foster into legitimate power, prosperity and happiness ; but the slang of a terocious pirate, who had nothing but subjugation and plunder in his view, and to whose taste every thing but treachery, malignity, and deso lation, was loathsome, contemptible, or insipid. While the benign temper of Fleury, or he 'dive and provident genius of Colbert, circumscribing all views of expanding the vain bubble of extended dominion, would have applied themselves solely to the conter vation and improvement of whet they bad, Bona parte has exhausted France merely to rob and op press the lawful do ~;:lions of others ; and to enlarge the bounds of an empire, too extensive, perhaps, for its real interests and happiness already. Bonaparte, then, in acquiring all the territory and power that it is likely he ever will be able to acquire, and, in attaining to his present state of ab solute sovereignty (for no man can suppose it the interest of Europe that Great Britain should either be destroyed or subjefted to France), has, more probably than ever, arrived at the acwe of his for tunes and his fame : The moment that peace, or the caprices of those he deludes and oppresses? call upon him to close his Machiavel, to sheathe his sword, and to repair the derangements of a ruined country by any other means than those of fraud a.d conquest—that moment he paralyses : 'De element in which alone he can exist, ceasing to exist itself, down he goes ; and, like a red hot poignard cast on the water, extinguishes and sinks for ever. "favor ti, 1804. S. S. By the late treaty with Sets DCA, the India Com pany are bound to support him in the event of lii being attacked ; and iu order to do so, some new regiments were raised and se:dinned on the fiontiers —these troops, including others paid by Sc :so LA, in all about 6000, together with the division of the ar my under Gen. WELLESLZY, are already in motion, in hostility to their late ally, and in defence of their recent enemies.—Such is the rapid and extraordi nary vicissitude of Indian politics. LITTLE ROSCIUS and the LITTLE LOTTERY --- These two national wonders attraa the notice and astonishment of every person, for they are both un equalled. To see a youth perform the most difficult theatrical charanei,, with a maturity ofjt.dgmentun exampled, and to see ,be present grand S.ate Lottery Scheme with more Capital Prizes and less Tickets, equally excites the adrairation of a discerning public. HORNSBY and Co. are satisfied that the Public ap prove 01 the present State Lottery, which begins Drawing next Monday Morning, Nine o'clock.— The Scheme is worth attention. It gives (what no other Lottsry has given) three of 20,0001; three of 10,0001.; three of 5,0001.1 and divides among the I lolders of 'fickets and Shares 40,0001. more than the last Lottery, which is a saving to the Purchaser of One Pound Ten Shillings in every Ticket. These advantages have Caused an unusual Demand, and must occasion a great scarcity of 'rickets and Sham. N. B.

The basket and fowls were produced in Court, and the case fui4 proved. Eli-nteth Iferlert Was indiaed fur stealing si ta ble-cloth, two shirts, dald other articles, the property of Susannah Selman. The prisoner protested her innocence in so solemn a manner, that the Jury hesitated for a tithe, and called one of the Witliebits up a second time ; but he swore so positively to her person, she was found (leafy. Robert A dinton was indi&ed for stealing seven. teen pennywelghts of silver from James Bzidgernan, silversmith. Ihe prisoner was watched by an ap. prentice belonging to the prosecutor, who saw him cut the piece in questkn from a slip f silver: when the prist,ner was tak it into custody, the piece was discovered concealed in the crown of his hat Viten called 'upon for his defence, he stated, that he had s wife, mother, and six child, en, who wholly depended lf , on him for their support, and he threw hisosdf on the mercy of the Curt and Jury. Several persons were called on the part of the prisoner, who hal known him many years, and gave him a most excellent charader. The Jury found him Gasiiy ; but recommended • him to mercy. Horriot Brews- was inclined for stealing two muslin gowns, and other articles, the property of Elizabeth Smith. Mr. AL I. or stated the case on the pan of the pro secution ; the circumstances as stated are somewhat singular : the prosecatrii, Mrs. Smith, was a widow, who kept a linen?hop in Wells -street. Oxford-scree. The prisoner came to her, and desired she would send some reads , male muslin gowns to her mis. tress. Lady Careless ' in Portr r an-square ; wishing to make a customer of her ladyship, she iname.hatcly accompanied the prisoner to the house, the door was opened by a servant in livery. and s'se was told her ladyship was - then at dinner; prosecat- ix said she would wait awhile ; some time after the pris seer came to her, told her that her ladyship was taking her wine, and could nor possibly be disturbed ; how ever she would bring her up the gowns, and let the prosecutrix know which she should keep ; she soon after returned with two of the gowns, and said her ladyship would Ic!cp the other, and desired she would make her another of the same pattern by thee next day. The prirreentrix accordingly brought, the gown, when the prisoner &aired she would leave it, as her ladysh:p was not then at home ; she further added, that her young mistress was going to he mar ried, and desired her to bring lace caps, Ste. the next time she came. Imagining she had got a most ex. celleat customer, the too credulous prosecutrix, sorne days after brought the goods, and her bill for the ft.rmer articles. The prisoner took all from he-, and carried them up stairs. She soon atter rett. ,- ed, and told her she must call again, as a sad dent had just occurred, his lordship had broke his leg, and her ladyship was in the greatest riftzlion. The prosecutrix, thinking this story very probabie, and, pitying the parties. retired perfedlly satisfied. S ton alter she discovered the whole to be a fraud s no such person as Lady Careless lived there, and the servant in livery and the prisoner ha , l abnoasled. She then applied to the Police office, and some di, s after the prisoner was apprehended in o..tord-street. Baron HOTH•Is observed, that, from the case, as stated by Mr. Atter, the preseat Maj.:brunt for felony could not be supported; it was a swindling trans:talon, and the Jury must acquit the prisoher. She accordingly was acquitted; but his Lordship direfted that she should be detained, sad an indat• ment for swindling be prepared against her. ; The prisoner appeared to be a decent looking, servant girl, about twenty years old. Helom Day s, indiaed for stealing a gold pin. the property of Robert Dolphin, was ecysi.:ti, it ap pearing he had made use of threats, to prevail on her to acknowledge the theft. Amparat,e Wootton was indkdled for stmaing a on! pound Bank note, two dollars, and several other monies, the property of William Orange. On the 29th of July, the prwaner was seen lurk ing about the prosecutor's door : he was traced tolis lodgings : on being searched, he dropped the silver out of his pocket, and the note was found con• coaled under the carpet.
