1'; 6 r IBLXCH PA PE S. JULY 7.—The English constantly ptirsue the.same plan of warfare : they were four daYs ago before Vico, and attempted to seize a Vessel laden, with corn. There were only four, Frenchmen at the Port; they, however, resolved to defend, it, and they were soon assisted by a detachment of the National Guard. A very sharp fire of musketry took 'place,, and the - Enemy were obliged to retire, with the loss of seven men.

He was accused of having slept cn - shore on the night between the sth and 6th of April, when his Ship was taken by the , Enerni It appeared, hoWever, that he came on shore on in— dispensible business, and that' he'used every effort to get' on board again, but in Vain. He was therefore unanimously acquitted; - PARIS, JULY 25.—0 n Tuesday last a man assassi nated his wife, and afterwards killed himself. The following are the particulars of this dreadful affair : • One of the most considerable Magistrates under the ancient Monarchy had emigrated with his Wife' and daughter, who was about nine years old; soon after being anxious to secure the succession of, some property to which he was heir, he sent his daUghter back to France, and entrusted her to the care of his•former hair-dresser. When the girl was fifteen years old she was seduced , by the son of. the hair-dresser, and became pregnant. Her re. lations being apprized of her situation applied to the Tribunals to appoint a new Guardian _ for her. The new Guardian of course opposed her marriage with the son of the hair-dresser ; but as soon as she attained 'the age of twenty-one years, she married him in opposition to the 'wishes of her whole Family. From that• tittle I,er husband treated her• with the greatest inhu manity, and she at length resolved to leave him, and after her death a letter was found in her room, from her father, offering her an asylum if she would quit her husband. It is supposed that the husband found this letter, and that it was the cause of the horrible crime which he committed. Their children lay near them, and heard the last groans of the assassin and his vidim. DISTRIBUTION OF , . . - Monday a large concourse of Amateurs attended at Lord's Cricket-grounds, to 'witness - the foot race between.Qapt. BARCLAY; of well-known pedestrian celebrity,.and a Mr. GOU LEWIN, a celebrated•runner. The distance waa one 'quarter of a mile for too gui neas a side. At starting the bets were six to four in - favour of Mr: G. the distance being thought too 'short for Captain B. The first two hundred yards was sharply contested, when Captain B. stretching out in his usual style; left his antagonist at least onv hundred yards in the rear. Captain BARCLAY after wards challenged any man in England to run • with him, fro .t, one mile to a hundred; in two months, forlbeir own sum. On: Monday next, August 11, w ill be the long , tontested . f66(-race between. Grinly, a boot-closer, and Little Carley, a Lancashire man, for too gui , . neas a side, to be run in Hyde Park. .

' At that period of the French Revolution when RePublican Emissaries from the Continent were bu sily engaged in this CoUntry in endeavouring, the only means in their power (persuasion and I;ri bery), to disseminate those priticiples of anarchy and horror which have rendered France as eternal bea con to civilized Society —precisely at that, time when so many of qur countrymen were Seduced by a vain phantom from that honest attachment to their King and Constitution by which they had hitherto • been distinguished, and to which they have long since returned—a certain Foreigner entered one of the most considerable banking-houses in the Me tropolis, and, taking from his pocket-book a large sum of money, amounting to between twelve and fourteen thousand pounds, expressed a desire ' to open an account with the house alluded to. On being asked by the Clerk, to wheei he addressed himself, what name'he should place in the books— he requested that the sum should b e entere d un d er the letter A. and that all drafts subscribed by that letter should be 'duly honoured. In a_ few days he Called with a sin.:'ar sum, which, by his direttions, was entered under the letter B. The Clerk; sur prised at these proceedings, 'communicated them to the principal partner in the firm, Mr. D— e by whom he was ordered, should the stranger again make his appearance, to .acquaint him, that he might have'an opportunity of observing him. Ac cordingly, in less than a week, the Foreigner•de positing a large sum under the letter C. Mr. D—, took advantage of this third visit particulei=iy to no tice the features of the man ; and soon after another call enabled him firmly to imprint them on his .mind. • Hating .consulted with sonic friends on the ,steps which it would he prudent to take, it was deemed advisable •byi them that Mr. D— should wait on the PreMier, . as-they had •little doubt that' it was intended to apply this money to sinister and political purposes. The next morning : Mr. went to Doweling-street e but was infotmed that Mr. PITT had not risen. It is well known that that great man-used to avail :himself of the quiet of his bed to revolve in his mind the important schemes of policy which he was, ever 'intent op . framing for e the benefit of his Couetry ; and that at • those moments. his servants had orders on no ac count to disturb him. Mr. D— waited patiently • above two hours before the Minister's bell range On being told of his visitor, Mr. Peri. instantly sent a. message, requesting -to see him in his chamber, where he received him in his • morning gown, for which he apologized by expressing the unwilling• ness, that he felt to allow a Gentleman of such re spkiabilitv to remain a single unnecessary instant iii attendiuice on him. Mr. 1) then proceeded to a unfold, the business on which ,he came. At the conclusion of his narrative, Mr. PIT r opened a mai bureau; . and taking from thence. several miniature pictures, laid them before Mr. who, strone - ly impressed with the resemblance which ene of them • bore to the objet; of his suspicion, suddenly Pointed to it, and exclaimed,--e" 'that is the man !" Mr, PITT, smiling, thanked Mr. D— for his informa tion, expressing a wish that all his brother Bankers had been equally communicative ; but at the same time he assured him that the proceedings of the in, dividual, whose portrait he had seleiled, were well known to his MAJESTY'S Government, who were closely watching his movements, and those of his colleagues. He requested Mr. D— to return, take no notice of the transaelion, and pay any drafts that might be presented in consequence. This Mr. D-- Accordingly did ; the money was gradually with drawn, and in a few months he learned that - this fellow and his coadjutors, from the developement of whose intrigues, during an apparent blindness to them, Government at that critical periol had eztez. rived much important intelligence, were sent out of the KingdoM under the Alien AL IRISH PEERS: ELECTION. There are at present two vacancies in the Repre sentative Peerage of Ireland ; the first occasioned by the elevation of the Marquis of SLIGO to a Peerage of the United Kingdom, by the title of Baron MoN-r- EAti t , : and the second by- the recent demise of the Earl of LANDAFF. The mode prescribed by the .A4'of Union for supplying vacancies, occasioned by decease, is -as follows .—The Lord Chancellor, or Keeper, of the Great Seal of. the United Kingdom, on reeeiving,a certificate of the death of: such Peer, under the hands and seals of any two Imperial Lords of.Parlia nent, shall .cause a writ to be issued ,to the 7 .41t,t Chancellor or Keeper of the Great Seal of Ireland, direding him to cause writs to be issued respec tively to every Peer. entitled to vote - at the Ejec tion of Representative Peers - on the part of L•eland ; which writ enjoins each Peer, within fifzy-,two days from the teste of the writ, to retu-rn the SillllQ into, the' Crown Office of Ireland, with the blank. filled up with the name of 'the Peer 'for who he shall vote as the.. Peer to succeed to the vacancy made by such demise. These writs are bipartite, - -so that the name of the Peer chosen is written twice., One part of the writ remains as a record in the Crown Office of Ireland ; the otherpart, duly certified, is transmitted to the Clerk of the Parliament oldie United Kingdom. With respea to the case of the Marquis of •:GO, we believe a fresh election cannot be obtained by any steps whatever, until his patent as a Peer of the United Kingdom shall be on the Table of the House of Lords, which cannot be before his regular intro= du&ion as a Peer Of. the United Kingdom —a pro ceeding which has not yet taken place. On Monday afternoon, about three o'clock, as a Gentleman 'vas riding in his gig, on Bexley Sussex, he was stopped by, a single highwayman, mounted on a poor mare. The Gentleman being resolute, the highwayman ,turned about and - gal: loped away, .witbout effeling his.purpose.
