OUTRAGE.
some time ago. a young lady of the first respectability, reels;
Maker-street, Portman-square, whose personal chard:see pre.
ps the slightest recamniendation to esteem, was units-zee
nigh to attract the admiration of a man whose address
do not possibly give ear to, as a reciprocity of 'mama: an
ref likely to take place. An aecideetal introduction at a "eta
mnbly was the only familiarity that ever sabeisted betaci tx
peed's familics--yet on this alight authority the man (we asst

d the interruptiens the young lady experienced in her mike,
attended, became so frequent and vexatious, that she was ma.
lied to acquaint her uncle (at whose house she resides) with ab
iole story from first to last. That gentleman, highly mimed e
unmerited ill-treauneat of his niece, immediately wrote a km
the person complained of, dictated in the most pmempney mos,
ainst a repetition of the offence under pain of corporeal rid&
mt. This unceremonial announcement produced a canter at
rsonal hostilities; but though relieved from the torture of he n.
eto nonsense, he determined she should peruse it. A "pee.

.was therefore opened, and the young lair had Us

On Monday evening the young lady above-mentioned, MI •
red at the house of a friend in Gloucester-place, sat retun.:.;
me at a little after ten o'clock, attended only by a female &ma
, when (most ma 1-2projenT ) her discarded suitor mole Monaca.

escape was, however, undeceived by a rude embrace from owed
e Bacchanals, whilst the other endeavoured to take the same libel
th the servant, who, being superior to the general deliestheid
e sex, repelled the intruder with a thrust of an umbrena, IMO
said to have extracted at least two of his front teeth, and
rth the purple fluid in abundance; but seeing the youegkely
II struggling with her drunken assailant, this modern Amass
mcd her telethon in that quarter, and, by. a powerful sat' rel

ly fainted, and the two felLms immediately turned cistio
tight of their fury against thE woman. whose courage whidle
ter the first effort, remained entirely defenceless. With diel►

ated cries appeared to reach the ear of a distant warble:a. en
ondoned their hapless victims, and found a temporary .nett!
flight. On the watchman's arrival the servant hilisozeidt
covered, but the icily was still insensible, arid in that eaten
nveyed home in a c.etch,where the circumstances were espbrak
the great distress of an affectionate family.
On the following day it was ascertained that the chief wait
is disgraceful scene had suddenly left town, nu doubt to etsltnt
a.sequences of any legal proceedings that might be tats t.

covered to give evidence, those heroes may probably be ass
iced to the public in pr.opria monied. In the mastiff we.
resign them to the unenviable distinction attached to a min
watdice and brutality almost without 'parallel.
Since writing the above, we learn that the servant's deees4l.
is taken on Wednesday morning as to the sitelile fact of sonr.t,
id a Magistrate's warrant forthwith granted thereon,
'sena of the parties still prevents its execution.
