He had reached Netty Polly Gardens, the ohjeti of his march, with little opposition, exceptint from the flooded Mlle of the Country but the Stores which had been collated there had, for . the most part, been carried away.

She was highly spirited, but rather too coarse. ,Jer figure appeared in masculine attire rather stout than elegant. She introduced a stanza, to the rune of Alley Croaker, which she-sung with great effeet, and which was encored.

This Comedy is so strongly marked by the licentiousness of the time at which it was written, that if the dialogue is 'not cleared of its gross allusions, it ought, notwith. standing all its humour and variety, to be banished from the stage. The Young Reitiut, who is in all respells playful, lately hesitated in 4ving . on the stage when he was to perform Richard. YOUNG, the chief Liverpool Actor, told him the stags was waiting, and urged him to appear. The boy declared, that unless YOUNG would bend his back, that he might have sue jment at leat.frog, he would not appear. After sour demur at this whimsical request, and sortie useless remonstrance, YOUNG was obliged to sub. mit ; and the little fellow then went upon the stage, and performed the pan with admirable spirit. Miss DUNCAN seems resolved to enter into a spirited competition with Mrs., JORDAN, by singing last night one of the airs in which the latter was particularly successful.

The Eleaion of one of the Sixteen Representa. tives of the Scotch Peerage, in kohl of the late Marquis of TWVEDALE, was to take place yester. day at Holyroodhouse. Lords Lauri citom.a ,and KELLY were exile led to be the Candidates. We are told in all the Morning Papered this day, that when Generals Moose and LuoLoW Were honoured with the Order of the Bath, Has MAJESTY placed the Garters over the, oo:riders of the ,new,thade Knights. It would have been kind at the tame time to have informed the Public, how long. the Garter has been part of the Insig. nia of the Older .of the Bath, and also if, when the Garters were placed over their Sbuulders, the Knights were allowed to decorate their Kneel with the Rihhoas. Yesterday an Inquisition was taken at the Crown public.house, on the Edgware road, before GIORGI! HODOWN, Esq. Coroner for Middlesex, on the body of William Franklin, jun. a farmer, at Oxgate, in the Parish of Woidim, who was supposed to have been murdered on MOnday night. Thomas Bean, a farmer, at Ricktnan sworth, was driving his team to town its compaoy with two others, at four o'clock on Tuesday morning, - when he saw the deceased lying on his face in the ecia4 near to Ox.lane. He.observed to his companions that a man had been run over, and on moving him he appeared to be quite dead, The deciased had on a pair of boots and one spur, the other was lying near him with the leather broken. The witness, with the drivers of the two other teams, conveyed him to the Crown public.house. Mr. James Mains, a farmer, at Child's Hall, near Hendon, stated, that the deceased had spent the evening with a party of friends at his tathet's house; during the evening they took a hand at cards,aod he observed gold and silver monies in the possession of the deceased. He left there mounted on a mare at twelve O'clock, stating, that as it was not fax from home, he should keep the foot way to avoid the dirt. The night was very dark, and it rained incessantly. Edward Howard, labourer on the deceased's farm, observed the mate on which his master was mounted the preceding evening, standing at the farmyard gate, at five o'clock on Tuesday. morning. One side of her, and also the saddle, was very dirty ; the near shoulder of the beast was also Cut, and the near side stirrup hung over the off side ; the rant of the saddle was also dirty, which left him in no doubt but that the mate had been on her back. Mr. Isaac Ftanklin, brother to' the deceased, looked twon the mare to be always sure-footed. --- He had traced the beast on to the footpath from Oxgate.lane ; and he had also endeavoured, in vain ► to find a plao4 in the bank where the mire might iove struggled in falling into the road. Th e gOdence being closed, the Jury, after it minute deletiezttion,.gatie a verdid, that the de. ceased had met with his death ky a fall from hir how.

Prime cattle had a very brisk sale, and fetched high &ea ; but indifferent horses hung an hand,-- There was the largest show of beasts and sheep on the fair morning ever remembered ; both of which ware very heavy of sale. At Leeds Fair, on Thunder and Friday last, the show of cattle was not very large, and better prices were obtained' than at the neighbouring fairs. The show of horses wise very indifferent, rend the int good ones fetched high prices. At Halifax fair on Saturday senniglie, there was an excellent show of good tirsts; they sold toler. ably well ; there of an inferior description met with a dull sale. Pip were in great quantity, but sold high, ;OR YAM'S!' gic.lcitußo. .. • , Tilt case of this aentlemsn having been so much the subjed of conversation of late, and so m ,ny observations haVing been made upon it in the. French Papers, it may not he unacceptable to our Readers to see the following discussion of the case, which we have extraded from a Periodical Public*. Lion : The case of this Gentleman having from various causes, but particularly from a refiedion on the Ole which his escaiie ,may produce with regard to those English persons who were detained with him, and who are still detained in France, become a sullen' of considerable public, if not' political imperteneee it appears necessary , to place it in a clear and fait point of view. With the more. minute circumstance, of Sir JAMES CP.AUFURD's arrest, as well as with the motives that led him to France, and other pee... titulars relative to his then situation there, I a n altogether unacquainted ; and, as to those explenae tions, which have, since his arrival in England, been published in the Newspapers, they seem to me to be calculated merely to apologize for the frailties of tee husband and the father. 'rids is not the grnune whereon a Gentleman, and a Servant. of the Kingt ought to stand before the world. Such a petsoe must look stria justice in the face and, if she acquit him not, he must be condemned. The Article published in the French Ofßcial Gee zette is at follows :--e‘ Paris, tilth Sept. 1804.e —e Site Julius CRMIEURD, Prisoner on his parole at Valenciennes, having applied to the Minister .cif War foe leave to pass two months at the Ameire Chapelle Baths, and produced certificates from ;vet veral medical Gentlemen, that the use of the Bath* would he attended with the greatest advantage to his,.health, the Minister yielded to his request, oh the'condition of his leavinga written engagement s that he would return from the waters to \Nene' ciennes, 'at the expiration of two months. On the toth Messick: (June 29) Sir J, CRAUFURD sent to t h e Minister of War this engagement, couched in the following terms Heating obtained pet mission of the Minister at War to repair to the Baths of Aix.la.Chapelle, I hereby bind myself, on my word of honour, to return to Valenciennes with, in two Months, reckoning from •the day of my de parture.e-(Signed) The Chevalier CRAUVUR D.l* Thus, as this statement has not been, as tar as know, publicly contradieled, I must take It for granted, that it is, in all parts, cotreet. Sir JAMet CRAUFURD did, then, give his - parole, a n d did break that parole, by coining to England, where he now ise having no apparent intention of returning to France. From the fafts thus nakedly stated, it woultlebe naturally concluded, that he had been guilty of a breach of parole, in the usual sense of the phrase, than which breach nothing can be more die. honourable. •Eut, in order to form a coral and just judgment upon the. case, we must inquire into the circumstances under which the parole was given; for, Omit. circumstances may materially alter the nature of the engagement ; 'and, with regardero the effete which his escape may have had upon the English Prisoners in' France, his 'feelings for those persons must be weighed against the feelings of a husband and it father.e.—Considering Sir JetstEs'it condo& as a question of public law, embracing his obligations towards the French and toward, his own Country, there Would he great difficulty in coming to a deci. *ion, .if the English Government had not already settled the point. When the French seized on the English visitors to France, and made them Pri soners, at the beginning of the War, the eel was, in this Country, condemned as contrary to the Law of Nations ; as an aft at once of violence and of trench cry. The French maintained the contrary; and, it would be very difficult to settle the point with them, who may, if they please, go back six or seven cee. tunes for precedents. The English Government, however, persevered in its doetriee, and, according. ly, they refused to exchange, the persons who had thus been made Prisoners, elleesing, as their reason for that tefusal, that the arrest was a violation of every principle of law . . The fact of their not exchanging those persons was a pretty convinc. ing mark.. of their Opinion ; but, in the circular letter of Lord .11AWKebeVRY to the Foreign Mi. slivers resident in London, detect 30th of April, 1 80 4 , a, solemn declaration on the suhjeal i s m a d e in the name of Hts MAJviTY., " Of all G.. vernments, pretending to be civilized, that of France has the least tight to appeal to the Law,of Nations. Wish what confidence can chiy . appeal to that law, who, from the, commencement of hostilities, have been in the course of constantly violating it They promised their protection to such of the Subjects of England as were resident in France, and might be deterone of remaining there atter the recall of His Majesty's Ambassador. . They revoked this pro mise without any' previous notice, and condemned t h ose very persons to be prisoners of war, and still retain them as such, in defiance of their own en. gagementts arid the universal usage of all civilized nations." The Noble Lord here declares, ite Isis Majesty's name, !het the impriatinment of the English in France was at once an aft of violence and of treachery.---If the French Government did not net according to the Law of Nations; if they set all law and justice at defiance; if they were guided by nothing but their own inclination and power to do !vein , we cannot, as to this ' , articular instance, reg.:ea them as any thing better than banditti.— Therekee, from a question of public law, the con. dui of Sir J,eat es CRAUFURO becomes a question nt'rna►ruiity 3 r,j we have only to decide, whether a man is, or is not, bound to keep a promise which he has tendered to banditti for the purpose of elicap. in g from their clutches ? Let it be observed, that I by no means pretend (God forbid I) to decide be. tweet) the French Govertirneeft and those who dise pate the fel of their being civilized. I leave them to settle the 'matter between them; but if the Noble Lord's declaration, made in the Kitere name, he true, then I insist, that, as far as relates to the at. rest of the English ir. France, the French Qom ment most he regarded as banditti, eepacially by a persori' in the employment of the Government, whose sentiments Lord He weskit uai pr o cl a i me d. to the world. This conclusion will nut, I am cute, be denied ; and, I should think that there are ve r y. few peis u es who, if seizati by banditti, would setu. pie to `tender them A promise of any rot t; in order 40 get safe mit of their pesrete N title cr is taster
