No longer then GARROW with niceties pester, He can try you and judge you in London or Chester. A certain political Nobleman cannot employ his talents More suitably, at present, than in an Elegy upon a departed character. ' Miss STEPHENS is at present too much indis posed to be able to resume her professional duties at Covent-garden Theatre. A Subscription has been opened at Edinburgh, under the sanction of the LORD PROVOST, and the Magistrates of that City, for the completion of the Monument on the Calton-hill, to the memory of Lord NELSON.

STEEPLE CHACE.—A match of this kind, which created much sport, took place on Monday from Storford, Herts, to Coleshill, a distance of 21 Miles, in a straight - direction, between • Messrs. Reynoldson, Harbinger, and Duckett,. celebrated fox-hunters, fora sweepstakes of 50 guineas each. The ground chosen was in a woody country, with other obstacles of rivulets, inclosures; &c. The sportsmen kept pace with each other the first four miles, when they separated on their different routes to avoid a rivulet. MrAlarbinger arrived at Coles bill first, having performed the distance, after many daring leaps, in one hour and nineteen mi nutes. Mr. Duckett ran the winner closely, and was within three minutes of him, and Mr . . Rey noldsou, who was supposed to be the best mount ed, broke down at a leap. There is now at Moretonhamstead, Devonshire, a boy, only seven years and•a half 91d, of a indst astonishing genisis ; indeed, as a calculator, quite a prodigy. Give him a sum to any aMounti such as six, eight, or ten hundred pounds, and in less than a minute, he will tell- you how many peace and farthings are in it. A Gentleman asked him', how many eyes and toes six score of bullocks had ? and how many minutes in a year ? each of which questions he answered with, the smite ease and quickness. Another person put many diffi cult questions to him in arithmetic, to the whole of which he immediately replied correctly. The boy cannot account how . he does it, and till with in a few weeks did not know a figure. His name is BIDDERS, and his father is a mason at the above place. We have received our information from bever al respectable persons, who have seen and conversed with this eitraordinary child.--(Exeter Paper.) A Correspondent informs us- of a most miracu lous escape which Mr. PETER M'CoWAN, Officer of Excise at Barra, lately made from a watery grave. He and sonic other persons were cross ing, in an open boar, from Uist to Bara ; they were overtaken by a gale of wind, which-overset the boat. Mr. M'CowAN swam until be got hold of the keel of the boat, and hung with a hold of it for some time, , when, a heavy sea right ed her. With difficulty lie got into the boat, which was almost full cif' water. He' observed • the body of one of his companions floating near,. and got it into the boat—but the slight symptoms of re-animation soon .fled. Mr. M'CowAsv re mained in this, 'dreadful situation for 15 hours, when fortunately a signal which he made was ob . served by souse Barra men; who came to his relief, and found him, almost lifeless, beside the dead body of his companion. -Three men were lost by this accident, and one woman ; two of the Allen and the woman have left families.—Scotch Paper. On Monday se'unight the counting-house 'o,f Mr. JAMES WORTHY, in the Exe Island of Exe ter, was broken open, and several bills of ex change, promissory - notes, bank mites, and other papers, stolen therefrom, to the amount of 5001. A reward of 201. was offered for - the discovery of the offenders. On Thursday two boys, of the na mes of Win afield and /lowland, tvot•A opprp_ hended, on suspicion of the above felony. On examination, they made a full 'confession, and told where they had concealed' a draft for 3191. 2s. Bd.: they said they were not the only persons concerned in the various ,burgleries committed in that neighbourhood, but have implicated a man named Taylor. They were committed for trial on their own confession. Hoxland stated,' that he took out a square of glass, by which both entered, and that Winfield, with a poker, • beat in the up , . per part of the desk, and took out its contents. ' Friday a woman, residing in the West Bow,. put an end .to her existence. She had been •se duced, and afterwards basely deserted, which, we bear, was the cause , of her committing this rash act.—(Edinburgh Courant.) Detachments of the South Cork and Monaghan regiments last week took the duty of the Dart mook depot, and a detachment of the South •De von that of the prison-ships. Last week, a centinel - belonging to .the South Devon-militia, on duty at the Dock-yard, Ply mouth, had the misfortune' to fall over the jetty head, and was drowned before any msistance could be rendered him. VIE BOURBONS, The following letter will be found to relate *to matters of high import in Fiance but we thi►:k it proper to state, that It came to us without nanic or authority,, and therefore we are in no degree pledged for the truth of the circumstances which it relates : EXTRACT OF A LETTER FltOM THE ARMY Iti FRAtiCE ) DATED ST. JEAN DE.LLIt, nu. 14. • r . ‘ We arc all,expecting with impatience the signal for an aggressive movement across the Adour. Our Field-Marshal has already recon noitered the enemy's positions ; several corps have been put in motion, and we are not without hopes of meeting with more friends than foes iii our progress through France. The Duke D'AnGoe- LEME seems to be extremely satisfied with the re ception he has, experienced from the inhabitants, whose sentiments have had now an opportunity of exhibiting themselves in the most impressive man ner. • His Royal Highness; who landed at St. Se bastian, after having had a narrow escape on the Spanish coast, where he was in the greatest-dan ger of being lost with the Princess. Charlotte packet, arrived at head-quarters, where he still retains his borrowed name, but Where many loYal Frenchmen have, however, paid him the ho mage they could no longer withhold from a de scendant of . their beloved HENRY IV. I had, from an eye-witness, an account of this hffecting scene. The Mayor, at the head of the Municipa-' lity of this place, addressed his Royal Highness iti a speech, where, after having alluded to the recol lection the city of St. Jean deLuz had preserved, of the residence of one of his Royal Highness's most glorious ancestors amongst them (Louts XIV), he bailed with transports of joy the day on which he and his countrymen were free to ma.• nifest their wishes in favour of his Royal House. M. RAIMOND ST. JEAN (such is the name of - this worthy Magistrate) then deplored the dreadful calamities that were still visiting the rest of France; and expressod the hope, they would be soon termi nated by a peace; whose guarantee could only be found in the word of the legitimate Sovereign. He concludedby humbly entreating h is Royal Highness to convey to their King the assurances of their res pect. and cordial allegiance. The answer of the Prince to this Address was equally kind and He assured the inhabitants of St. Jean de Luz, in the name of his Royal Uncle, that his Majesty's wishes had no other object but • their happiness ; and that, being the organ of the King's paternal affection towards them, he would lose 'no opportunity of convincing them that France would no where find a per ' manent tranquillity, hut under the mild awl auspicious laws of a Monarch, whom interest, ho nour, and justice, equally pointed to them as most worthy of wearing the CroWn of his ancestors. You cannot have an idea of the effect produced by this interchange of dutiful and honourable seq.. thrients, nor the impression the condescending arid affable manners of the Prince had upon, these goOd people. The Clergy were likewise intro duced to his Royal Highness., but he declined the honours they wanted to pay him at , Church... The neighbouring Communes sent depututions to him, - and all hands and hearts' seem to be united in sup port of a cause they look upon as that of every loyal Frenchman."—( Times.) MURDER. On Saturday last an inquest was taken by Mr. Green, on the body of James Spencer, - at the poo; house,,Lyndurst :—lt appeared-on evidence, that a quarrel had taken place between the family of the deceased and that of George Hinves ; their wives were pulling each other's caps, wheti the deceased came to his door, . called his wife, and Hinves then appeared (who is a shoemaker) at his own, door, with a knife, cutting, board, and piece of leather ; calling to his son, be gave him the - board and leather, and 'advanced to.„ wards the women with the knife in his right hand ; the deceased seeing him, came out, , and caught him by the waist, at the, saltic time pulling him . from the womeo ; they setae& and fell-, Hinves. being. uth'er they rose again, when the deceased remarked, " Hinves, what do you mean by that knife in your hand 3" no reply was made; they again scuffled, fell,and the deceased was under ; his son seeing him, assisted him to rise,. when as he was staggering towards , his own doer, Hitives struck him on the back, he. fell on his - face and- never struggled more. The unfortunate man was then taken in, and • pired within half an hour ; on examining his body a .deep wound (which appeared to, have been inflicted by a knife) was discovered in the left side of his groin, as also several slight .wounds on. his breast and arm.—. The Jury, after a consultation. of three hours, returned a verdict of Manshiughler. —Spencer has left a wife, and six children.— Hinves is counnitted for trial. DUBLIN, Fen. .21.---At the last Quarter Ses sions, George hope was found guilty, acid selltenced to 12 months imprisonment in Newgate, for traunuteutry n farthing belonging to his employer,..which, it appears, was one of tliree coined .by Queen ANNE., and esteemed of value to antiquarians; he . wanted to extort a bond for 7001. from his master for the tarthieg, and refused to restore it otherwise. The Recorder regretted that the Court was unable to go as tar bs it would wish in.his punishment. . Tuesday morning; about 8 o'clock, the Keeper of Southgate Prison, in Exeter, attended the fe lons with a candle to light their fire, when a than Called Sharland (just reprieved from death), as he entered the cell, gave him a blow, slipped o and locked the door upon him : the prisoner then attem?ted to .escape; by ascending a trap-door that led to - the • debtors' apartments, and, 'after locking•the Keeper's wife in Sher bed-room, de scended to the front door ; here hc.was at a-stand, forthe Keeper had the key of it in his pocket, which; after calling loudly to .some people in the street, be threw out to them, and they immedi ately entered,' and secured the prisOner. He has been double-ironed, and also all the other pri soners, as it is supposed 'they were acquail,ted with the intention.
