They slept at Chantilly, three posts from Paris, and proceeded the next morning to Amiens. — Mr. Ross, the Messenger, met hr Lordship three stages DO the other side of Amiens, and returned with l.itn. The Earl of Lauderdale and suite slept at Amiens the second nigh: ; and immedi ately on his arrival there, dispatched Mr. Scott, with a letter to Admiral La Crosse, at Boulogne, announcing, that he should be there the neat high!. Mr. Scott was stopped one stage before he reached Bonlosne, and detained from eleven o'clock in the morning, till ten at night, when the Earl of Lauderdale and suite arrived, and Mr. &lit was li berated. After changing horse', they proceeded to Boulogne, escorted by a troop of gene d'n.mrs. They arrived at Admiral La Crosse's house, at one o'clock in the morniqg ; hi.

There were upwards of one thonsensi spectators on the beach to witness their embark.ition ; the greatest silence prevailed amongst them. klis Lordship and suite met with the greatest civility, from the time of their departure from Paris, until their embarkation at Boulogne. The rockets had been thrown into Boulogne the day previous to Lord Lauderdale's arrival in that city; and telegraphic expresses, had been rent to Paris, and to, Bonaparte, at Frankfort, and answers had been received before Lord Lau derdale arrived at Boulogne. Lady Yarmouth was anxious to return to Eng land with Lord Lauderdale, but could not arrange her affairs in time.

His Grace's return to town will be in about three weeks. The hells of Several parishes in the airy of Nor wich toiled nu Friday noon, the time appointed tor the intermeet of Mr. Fe.r, and a great aurnber of respeeable inhabitants put en mourning, as a sin cere though faint expression of their feeling for the irreparable loss they and their country had sus tamed. By a private letter from York, it appears that the Corporation of that city, desirous of shewing their attachment to the political sentiments and in corruptible patriotism of their late illustrious brother frcemar, Mr. Eos, went in a body, last Sunday, to their splendid Cathedral, in mourning. So nume vas wen{ the attendance, that many of the members could rot be accommodated with seats, and stood si , e service in the aisle. This sad tribute of high resped for splendid talents and rare vi hues, was not cnnfined to the Corporation ; every church in the city exhibited, ost that day, in the dress of the attendants, the same mournful testiinony of regird, and the same honourable feeling of sorrow. It is worthy of remark, that Sir Wm. Micsi Ea, one of the Representatives of the city, attended the Funeral of Mr. Fox, at Westminster-abbey, on Friday la;c ; and also, as Aide: man, the Procession on Sunday, at the York Minster ii...A letter from New-Yurk, of the lst of Sep tember, received by a remedable House in the City, states, this Accounts had been received there, from SL Domingo, et the Black Emperor, Des sat.iNts. having male proposals to the fjo rennor of Jamaica for the surrender of that Cs loey to a British force. upon rcitaM conditions.

They were both landed here, yesterday, from the Texel, which place they both lett on &today last. They had been both put on board the guard-ship there, and, in the morning, just' before they came away, a Newspaper was received OR board, and one of the Officers read aloud to them from it, an act, count of the French and Prussian armies. having had an engagement, and that the French had been defeated with very great loss. They also mention a report, that the marines had been drawn from the fleet to send to the army. Early this morning, a tremendous firing was heard At this place, supposed to proceed from off Boulogne. The sound was generally believed to be that of mortars fining from the shore. It is proba ble, that another attack with rockets may have been made, similar to the attempt made a few nights ago. RAMSGATE, OCT. 14. This favourite w;;l77ace has not yet lost many cf its faShionable visitors, most of the houses being engaged to the end of this month. There are generally, in Ilse evenings, routs and large private patties made.

'the wind was light, and all the boats kept nearly toge ther, till they were within two or three mites of Chathatu, when Nos.

The above sums were paid from a band which had be. n raised by sub scription, under the patronage a .1. Huiltes, Esq. whose pleasure boat sailed, and outstripped all the others. It is supposed, that the snatch will be established annually. • FATAL f),ULL.

Mr. Graham, Midshipman of the Monarch, had left him immedtarely after the fatal ball was fired, and returned to Jock with Armstrong, and Mr. Wells, of the Prince of frau. his second. The dispute originated at a ccmmon hap in Pembroke-street. where Armstrong wanted to put out the lights, while the deceased was dancing With his girl ; high words arose, and they immediately adjourned to an inn; where the challenge Was settled.

I. Firfore am Osstnw, tsq. Chairman, and a of the Peace for the Covey of Sarre!, Jahn Thema', who had been connii3cd yesterday of assaulting and starving his apprentice, James Edborongh, was this day brought up fur ludg ment. [A full Rupert of tys trial l aKearrd in our Paper of ye.tet. day.] The Learned Cwa IRICa./4, in passing the sentence of the Court, animadverted with great severity upon the enormity of the crime the Prisoner had commit ted. He 'considered it an offence against not only the law irf the land, but against the common law of nature and humanity ; instead of such inhuman treatment as he had given this forlorn and friendless Orphan. it was his bounden duty, and should have beer. his great objedt, as his apprentice, to treat him with the kindness of a patect us his craid. He was solely dependent upon bins, and looked up to his as the hand from which he was to receive the necessa ries of life ; but what WAs the result' But for the interference of some charitable and humane neigh bours, the consequences of such treatment might have passed unnoticed, till his unhappy condition ended but with his life, and then he would have had a crime of a much higher nature to answer for to his country and his God. The sort of defence at tempted to be set up,highly aggravated his offence; and the testimony given upon the trial smeiled s rung of perjury, which. for a cline, made the case sorne• what ooubfol k but the verdi.t of a Mast respectable Jury, had decuted on which side the perjury was committed ; this was a still greater aggravation, ad!sng the crime of perjury to his other iniquities. lie was then sentenced to 11.1eiue months itaymean- Men t.

It was supposed that the Prisoners bad watched their opportunity while the Prosecutor was aliselit from the garden-house, to make away with these se veral attic is ; and upon the evidence it appeared, that patty had sold the watering pot to a broker, and the scales to a woman, both residing in the Bo rough, who were induced to purchase them from the plausibility of the story told by the boy. and the innocence of his appearance. Both the Prisoners were discovered fast asleep in a cart, lying on the sack; and the pocket-buok, hammer, &e. were found span thm. Their defence was, that they had found those ar ticles in the cart. The only thing remarkable in this case was the appearance and chandler of the boy Ratty. He was abont fourteen years of age, the picture of health, beauty, and innocence, with such an express sion of countenance, as might baffle the skill of the Pkyasognorniat, to discover a bad line ifs his features; yet, strange to tell, he has already been live trines id the custody of Mr. Ives, the Gaoler of blewington, for varions offences, and was once before cenvieted of felony. He had been put into the Matins School, and from thence absconded. Their sentence was respired until next Sessipps, that some .further inquiry moue them midst be made.

Salm44 Tholunran, a decent and respectable looking woman, correiBed of stealing a linen sheet from Of was bt. Thomas's Hospital, the property , the Lord Mayor and Comonalty of the City of London. The Prisoner had been a nurse belonging to the said Hospital, and the sheet being missed, and the Prisoner absconded, search was made for her, and she was apprehended, when an immense number of pawn-brokers' duplicates, was found upon her, among which was a duplicate for the sheet. *lt ap peared, in the course of the evidence, that she was much addicted to drunkenness, and blight have taken the sheet at a time of inebriety. She was also tried upon an indiCtment for stealing a quan tity of wearing apparel, and other articles, the pro perty of Catherine Slahouy, who was one of her sister nurses. It appeared that, in taking her leave of the Hospital, she got into a room whe-e the nurses kept them clothes, and cartied away with her every thing that was portable. Upon this inditment she was also found Guilty. There was a third indinmont against her for stealing some property belonging to a poor lame sailor, who we; a patient in the Hospital, and under her care at the time ; but upon this she was not tried. Under all these aggravated circa:us:a:ices, the Court sentenced her to stuns years transportation. - Oct Saturday evening, Mr. WICKS (on a v;sit to W. Cotestors, Esq. at Boiaglitc.n Nlallierb, Kent.) was found dela '4l a field near the house. He had Lean out walking, as usual, in good health. The body was removed to the house. It is supposed that be died of a fit of apoplexy. Nothing can exceed the miserable state of the Conscripts in France, who are forced away from thcir families, in order to fight the battles of arro gance, ambition, and injustice. Freuce indeed groans under the most lamentable tyranny ; and norra ea ox is absolutely hell in the utmost detes tation in that unfortunate country, except by the Military Chiefs, who depend upon his nod. As to the succession of his family,' in case id his death, idea' is treated with the utmost contempt, and when that cle.irable recut shah take place, the Whale of his surviling relations a ili most probably be obliged to skulk Into obscuriiy, in order to es cape the vengeance or insults of the people. Stich is really the condition of things in France, accord ing to the accounts of all intelligent men who have lately been in that country, and have had any op portunity of discovering the sentiments of ;lie peo ple, which still break forth in deep murmurs, mut witlistincang the trio& .of terror they are Gad to endure: • SPORTING INTELLIGJ NEWMAtKET sgeuND ocroßE . • TunDAT, ocr. 14.
