CLASSICAL GALLANTRY. The following account of a new speCiii of Amorous Refinement; as praAised, by a Gentleman at Paris, is related As a fart in a - Tour through Frante : '" Mr. B— had made it a rule to gratify his five senses to the highest degree-of,..enjoyment of , which they were susceptible.' An exquisite - mi.*, perfumed apartments, the charms of music and paint ing ; in a word, every thing most enchanting that nature, assisted by art, could produce, successively flattered his sight, his taste, his smell, his hearing, and his feeling. • " In a superb saloon, whither he condufled me," says this gentleman, " were six young beauties, dressed in an extraordinary manner, whose persons, at firsr sight, did not appear unknown to Me : it struck me that I had seen their faces more titan once, and I was.accordingly,going to address them, - when Mr. at my mistake, ex plained to me the cause of it. I have in my amours' said be, '.a particular fancy. The choicest beauty of Citcasiia would have no merit in my eyes_, did she not resemble the.portrait of some wo man celebrated in past ages : and while lovers set great value on a miniature which faithfully-exhibits the features of their mistress, Pesteem mine wily in propprtion to' their resemblance to ancient portraits. " Conformably to this idea,' continued Ml. 13-, I have caused the intendant of my plea sures to travel all over Europe, with seled portraits, or engravings, copied from the originals. He has succeeded in his researchei, as you see, since you have conceived that you recognised these ladies. on whom you have never before set your eyes, but whose likenesses you may; undoubtedly, have met with. Their- dress must have contributed to your mistake: they all wear 'the 'attire of- the personage they represent ; for I wish their whole person to he piduresque. By these means I have ;ravelled hack - several centuries, and am in pOsseision of b eaut i es whom time ha d placed at a 'great distance.' " Supper was served up. M. seated himself between Mary Queen of Scots, and Anne Builein. I placed myself opposite to him," con cludes the gentleman, " having beside me Ninon de I'Enclos, and Gabrielle d'Estrees. We also had the company of the fair Rosamond and Nell Gwynn • but at the head of the table was a vacant elbow.chair, surmounted by a canopy, and destined for Cleopatra, who was coming from Egypt, and of whose arrival Mr. B was in hourly expectation." A Private Letter from Paris, dated the rzth of last says,—" Surely you have not been duped by the article in the Moviteir,relatilie to the Loan made by the Hanseatic Towns to our Hero. You cannot believe that the Contribution which he has exafied from those Independent States was bor rowed by 'the Hanoverian States for .the reliif of the Hanoverian people : you cannot suppose that the advances were made on the security : of the personal or patrimonial property of the KING 04 ENGLAND ! But most probably you have thought., .in ,common with the rest of Europe, that ButtArARTE has COM. yelled the Hanse Towns to purchase a few -months Neutrality ; and, with the multitude, irdu may have thought, that the man, who- attempted to justify such a robbery, by holding it o ut as a Loan nego tiated by the Government of a Province which he has invaded, and still holds in military subjeelion, must have given an incontrovertible proof of his in. sanity. _ . " It is howeVer proper you should be aware, and for the purpose of causing it to transpire, that the sum extorted from the Hanse Towns by toitA. PARTE is not- three Millions, as set forth in the Mo. niteur, but Monies,.• exceeding four Millions tuna hundred thousand MARCS : that this stun, alledged to be borrowed fOr the relief of the people of Han.. over, has been entirely forwarded to Paris : that in point of faa, the Hanse Towns have received an acquittance for Only tbr te Millions, and that the whole has been lodged in the private coffers of BBiiArAttrt. 'I". You may rest assured of the truth of this statement. With resped to, a Mortgage of the Personal Property of firs BRITANNZe MAJE S TY, you ought at this time to be aware of the pUblic . Declaration made by:the Senate of liainbtirgh.Land also of BEaTaiER'S Declaration, and,of.the Official Note' of REINHARD, 'which latter contain assur ances to the Senate, that their . Master would not make peace unless the KING of E.'N2L4No should engage to liquidate the Debt incurred by the FIRST,_ CONSUL--for 'the Relief of the Pe,oisli of Hanover Sime persons indeed assert, that • the Ft4s.r. Cott suL has transmitted 200,000 francs to Gen. MoR. T I ER., and half that stml to BERTHIEIt„ am not able exactly to state what part of the money .has been allotted to those. holloiirtiMe Agents of the FIR . ST CONSUL, all I can truly say is, that. it is not imagined that BONAPARTE will be obliged to pay very dear for, a secret of this nature. We al/ know that not one sous of the Contributions levied by our First Magistrate upon our Allies, the con. quered Countries, or those occupied by his Troops, or of those unable to t dely..his menaces, has found iti way into the,public Treasury. By all these we have been relieved just as. much as the people of Hanover !" . Monday morning, between twelve and one o'clock, as Mr. JohnHiscox, butcher, of Whitchurelll was returning from Bristol, he was .stopped on a short distance from the turnpike, by a genteel dressed man mountedton a bay horse, %btu) fired a pistol, and wounded him severely- in the head. .It -is. supposed Mr. H. made resistance, as he was found lying on the road, with his chop per in his hand and a long knife by his side, About two hours afterwards he was brought_to the Bristol Infirmary, where remains insensible, and- in ri.d-angerous state.. Tim; same evening a market cart was attacked, ettpased by the same person, who fired through the tilt, :when one of the shots went through the womati's'hat ; fortunately some persons coming iii . view, priVented him from committing further :de. predation. the horse which they rode was forced into a. ditch by the violence of the wind, vnd'the two boys - un. fortunately perished. Art inquest was on Monday held on view-of their bodies;by D. WILLEy, ESQ. Coroner, when the Jury returned a verdicA—Acci ,driztal death. • Same day, Mr. HILL and his servant very nat., 'rowly escaped with their lives, on board his vessel, at, that time lying in the Pill,. at . Betkeley. The. violence of the gale had increased the agitation, of the waters to the turbulence of a tempestuous sea, and•the waves made a fair breach over the deck ; ' they were in consequence forced to take refuge in the:ihrouds,.Where they hung upwards of two hour, expe6ing .every moment to drop into the flood ; 1 - )tit'theferop . est abating ; they were happily rescued froni their perilous situation.

The Dt'fendant, the son of. a tobacconist, had mar ried hg daughter, Whom .Ceal had deserted, and this was an aaion of damages brought by Laik to recover the amount expended her maintenance, during the abience of he(husband. A great variety of witnesses were produced_ on both-sides, and the trial was protraled, when Mr. Justice CxnMßse made his observations to. the Jury. "It is the duty of a ,husband, by law, to support his wife ;Lard if:it be not the legal duty, it is at least the:Christial duty of .a .father to maintain his a.lughter,wbela tahandoned. This is an of ion for damages, cornmihced by a father-in-law - against his son..in-,law, and the rule of, law is, that if the hus band leave his wife, he leaves with her a credit united- to her rank and. degree, and to all debts. agreeable to.that rank and. degree he- is liable. It appears, in this case, that tile rank of the husband was of the lowest order—that his - labour was ne- A cessary for his own support—and that the wife equally capable of procuring her maintenance by the:7: same exertions.

She continued - to strike very hard, and the Captain, alarmed for his own safety, without considering tither the passengers or his crew, declared she was bilged, and ordered out one of -his boats, in which he,' with three of his sailors, maur4. their escape, leaving the disconsolate passengers under the proieaion-ot a drunken Pilot, and in a ship which h e hi mse lf h a d state d to have a hole in her bottom, In this situation, in the 'middle of the night, with the vessel grating hard against a rock, with a high wind, a Pilot drunk, and-without a Commander, . were left, the ship, tl. t. cargo,' the remainder of the crew, ard all the passengers, 'who were'neither inconsiderable in number or in respec tability.

It was not till now . the Plaintiff ever Inter. fered ; and certainly it was high time, for the very aft of letting go the anchor, would in a few minutes have sent them all to a watery grave ; he would :not let it be done ;, hut instantly shifting the helm to hard-a.:port,•-• mid trimming her sails, he; about 12.P.M. through very great exertion (as the wind was blowing hard, with a heavy sea), succeed. ed in getting her . off the rocks. The passengers, conscious, that they . owed their lives to 'Captain Newman, requestedi-tinv;lo continue in -the cam mand, which ire didotindoubnut 9 o'clock, A.M. the next day, moored::ithe- ship,-, her cargo, her crew,- and her passengssfreg in Ramsgate- harbour, in perfed safety. It - was on those grounds 'that the Plaintiff . set up his claim to a salvage of Loh . per cent, on the ship and cargo; as he considered himself the only instrument ,by which the property had ;reached a port. The Learned Courhel also stated,, that on. the ship's arrival at . Ram — sgate, Newman made a protest, setting forth the particulars , of. click different situations.;, aS also did the mate, carpenter, and boatswain, who 'in their protest as serted that the vessel.had b e e n save d ow i ng to nau tied' ability and the uncommon exertion of Captain Newman. • M. Thomas Gardner and Mr. P. T. Tudor, wh o were both passengers, proved Capt. Johnston's leay. ing the ship; alto that the mare, carpenter, boat. swain, and the remaining part of the crew, p ut themselves under the command of the Plaintiff . , and obeyed his orders. Mr. Serjeant COCZELL, for the Defendant, eo n . tended, that the Plaintiff was not entitled to any sum by way of salvage ; for his nautical ability and uncommon exertion were not used for the preserva tion of the property, but for the express purpose of self. preservation. Lord ALIANLEY, in summing up the evidence, was of opinion that the,Plaintiff was not entitled to any sum as for salvage, but for a remuneration for his exertions in saving the vessel he certainly was ; for the Jury would recollea, that he. had the same opportunity of leaving the ship as Captain Johnston had, as there was another boat left, and that of a larger size, consequently more sea-worthy ; but he had preferred:risking his life to save the property of the Defendant, and most assuredly ought to be paid fur such risk. .
