A letter dated Leipzig, August 14, says:.. Ac-
cordintt to the latest accounts from Warsaw, the
story of th a tempt to poison the Count Dx lot I. I:
ald his family, on a more stria examination, proves
to be the invention of the billiard table• keeper,
CoutoN, with a view to obtain money. He and his
wife are arrested, and we shall probably soon learn
more of the particulars.''
Note.—Phis paragraph is evidently of French ma-
nufaaure. The examination began on the 7th, and
could not have been known at l.eipzig on the 14th.
A lett.tr train Dunkirk, of the 14th, states, that
on that day BON APAIe rx was at Dunkirk. He luau
sent for General MsRM on T howl the camp at Zu, st.
which has been i.n:.l.irciA by more true s, in tile
contemplator', sic ha ano doubt, of an immediate
war with Russia.

Accounts horn Gottenhurgh, of die 20th, state,
that a Itussian fleet of three sail of the line, and
three frigates, is expe.tted immediately to cruise in

they at any time mate that port.
Ever since the svall about a month ago, which
wrecked several French gun-boats on the shore at
Boulogne, and threw their whole armada into con-
fusion and dismay, they have ventured out in but
small numbers, not more than thirty at a time. At
Dover, Folkstone, Hyth, and all along the Kentish
coast, the people laugh at the idea of invasion, and
cannot believe that any preparations are made, fur
carrying it into immediate execution.
A le:ter from Yarmouth, written on Sunday, says,
44 We are informed, that the KUNG of Dvs m mix

intimated his intention of sending tr,sopa in case of a
refusal to enforce obedience. We are also told, that
the Rebel Turks have entered Belgrade, and pit al;
the inhabitants to death."

MRS. THORNTON.

The beautiful and sporting Mrs., "Noitwvost is
the subjed of general conversatiaa. Every one
seems to regret that she did not win ghe race; and ex-
claim that the " age of chivalry is gime." Seven cities
claimed the honour of being each Use birth place of
HosiE R. A similar celebrity awaits Mrs 'rum( wren,
S•ime say she is English, some WelFh, and some
French. We are assured, however, that she is *
native of Ireland. Her defeat is not likely to damp
her spirit, as it is universally allowed that the horse
and not the jockey was to blame No less char
three matches have been spoken of is which tbh
Lady is to ride. We understand, hoviever, th.o
none of them are likely to take place; but that -.
new match will grow out of the last, no one dow,t.
as Colonel THOM N 'ION is in high spirits, and full w
confidence in his fair jockey.
