mansion of the Noble Lord, was a Solicitor. What they ha
to state was not very favourably received, sad the Legal
(legitimism was forced out of the grounds by two of his
Lorpsbip'sdoisestiev, who were followed by his gamekeeper,
armed with a gun, which Is said to have breu loaded. He
was sot released from the grasp of the persons who expelled
him, till he bad been conducted beyond the ledge. The
gales were then chained together; they were further secured
by Wisest as uncommon length and strength, and men were
stationed to watch at them by day and aegis!, to guard
against any new invasion.

Lord Portsmouth, and st is her intention to return in a slay or

was expected to carry into effect on Saturday. The inhshia
tams of the neighbouring tows take a lively interest in the
struggle, and seem anxious for her Ladyship's success, of
which some insert that there cannot be the smallest doubt,
while others declare that she will eeeee enter the mansion
of this Noble Lord again. Three ate those who imaglue

posed not to have much reason to be particularly
pleased with the treatment he has for a length of
time experienced from Lord LIVERPOOL. Indeed,
a greater personal strrout was, perhaps, never offer-

than by the determination of Ministers not to per.

recollect, was immediately, on his death, transferred
to the Esrl of IVARwlca. This indignity to the
present Marquis of HERTFORD, and indeed to the
memory of the late, was rendered the more marked
by the fact that the very same Moister., on the

with a very retentive memory, but that nature has

A►CERTAINING TtlE LONOITUDIL—An ingeiii-
nun instrument has been invented by Mr. HARLEY,
of the Chain Pier at Trinity, for ascertaining the
longitude. It has been submitted, we understand,
to six naval officers, who concur in opinion that it
will completely answer its intended purpose on land,
or Ht sea in calm weather : hut they are decided in
opinion of the impraciir•ability of using it at ►ra in
stormy weather, owing to the violent motion to which
it will be subjected : this objection, however, if it
cannot he obviated, must apply to all other instils.
