flonuced in, regardless of my Uncle's
situation ; and throwing herfelf neg

"My dear," fays my Aunt, ''l

was exceffive—"Yes," cried myAunt,
" I must have t'other five hundred."
—Nowjny Aunt in all her fashionable

my Uncle had.
" Must have t'other five huedred !"
exclaimed my Uncle—and he groaned
with anguish. " Yes, my dear—l

On hearing the name of Cadogan,
my Uncle started, and rang the bell

A Fragment,
The execution of Mr. Gordon,
for (hooting an officer who was goirg
to arrest his Father, was fixed for the
hour in which lam writing. Every
disposition was made [by the fheriff,
and thousands of people would have
been fmelancholly fpeEtators. The
condemned fermon'was preached yes
terday, and the convid behaved with
great fortirude, in full expe&aj?n of
the awn event. He has not been
heard to murmer at his fate; but on
Sunday evening he expressed much
anxiety to fee his Father, and bid
him a last farewel. His Father was
not to be found ! at this information
his fortitude left him, and he wept
bitterly.
This morning at three o'clock,old
Mr. Gordon, in company with Mr.
North, messenger arrived express
from London. He was refufed ad
mittance at the goal at that hour,
at fix lie Hew to his son and found
him fervently employed in prayer,
not being acquainted with the happy
turn of his fate.
You, fir, can tafily piaure to your
felf the affecting feene that was ex
hibited at their meeting. The fath
er in a flood of tears embraced his
child,&announcing in a voice scarcely
intehgible,the happy tidings of ares
pile; and the son upon hearing the
joyful news, fainted away in his nr.
ents arms. This feene, in which all
the passions that ennob e and cignify
human nature 'were agitated, was
heightened by the arrival of Mrs.
Gordon, the mother, who became al
mod frantic with joy.
The people of the town & neigh
bourhood ere happy that he is respit
ed ; and the gracious -condeicendirg
manner in which the king received
petition of Mr. Gordon far hit fin's
iife, is spoken of by all ranks with
the highest degree of reverence and
reseed.
It is with pleasure we learn, that
Mr. Millar of Dalfwinton has late
ly compleated his experiment for as
certaining the fleam engine in moving
ffiips. The success fully answers his
expedations, and afforded very gr-at
pleasure to the fpedators present.
The result of this experiment must be
of the greatest utility to society in
general.but more particularly to trad,
ing countries which abound in coal
or wood.
M. de Beaumarchais has facrificed
12,000 livres in favor of the unfortu
nate inhabitants of thegfuburbs of St.
Anthony. Altho' his office of Secre
tary to the King enlists him among
the Nobles, he has desired te be ad
mitted among the Commoners ; and
this trait of humility, without taking
anything from the diftinguiihed ho.
nours of bis office, muff necessarily
put an end to the illiberal sarcasms
which some persons have allowed
themselves to throw out upon him.
This evening M. de la Fayette, no
doubt afraid of not being able to ope
rate all the good he could with,-and
thwarted besides by the improper
conduct of the people, and (hocking
behaviour of the populace, in doing
justice to themselves, without the as.
filtance of the law, gave up his com
mission of Colonel General of the
Parifion guards ; but he was so earn
estly requeued to continue in it, and
Mr. Bailly hircfelf expressed with so.
