PVGILISM.—The match between Abraham Willett, the
Heretordshire mau, and Granger, called the Bath thump,
came on en Wednesday morning early, in a twenty feet ring,
at Evelcy-beach, on the borders of Bet kb and Hants. The
men were backed for thirty guineas aside, and a purse of ten
guineas was added. Moss seconded Granger, and Tumkins,
the back sword player, seconded Willett, whu weighed 120.
81b., and his antagonist, who had irsuperiority in tactics,
was a pound under P.:•stone. Twenty rounds were fought
in 56 minutes.

Ist Round—Willct hit out with his right hand at the head, was
parried partially, but rather avoided by throwing the head back. A
rally followed, in which \Valet, from weight, had the best.
2. Willet made his hit in this.rounel with much force upon the
left eye of Ins antagonist, which nearly darkened it. Granger how-
ever followed in, and much quick round hitting followed, and Gran-
ger was knocked down by a severe blow on the breast.
This system of lighting on Granger's part must have given vic-
tory to 116 antagonist in a few rounds. From the second until the
tenth round there was no particular point to speak of. Granger kept
at a respectful distance, and now and then nobbed his adversary with
the lefthand.
1. Willa Fa his left foot troll ferward, and afterwards receiving
his antagonists hits, he stepped in bent upon mischief. and
Big Ben hit or two upon the body. In a close he held his antagonist
up•with his left hand (which seemed to be the only use lie could make
of it), and served out with the right until he was tired, and Granger
fell ; 10 to 1 was taken that he would not come. to time, but he (lid
in much earnest.

Both fought tired until the close of the 16th round, when
'by repetition of lift handed tapping, had very little sight, etltough
' his strength was but. little reduced.
17. Granger showed nit more than he had done in any part of the
.combat. He measured his antagonist's head, who was too blind to
return upon hint, and he hit him four or five tines about the eyes by
way of settling the difference, and he threw hue a wlinerset upon his
face by way of a finisher. Ten other rounds were fought, but Gran.
ger, who proved himself a rnettled man, had it all his own way, sad
t% iliett lust by nut coming to time in the nth round.

:ft, Turner, R. Reath, and J. %Vittingham, stood capitally
indicted, fur aiding, abetting, and communing with our Win.
Turner, in the murder of H. Thompaon, on the 14th of May
deist.

Mr.'Hall, a farmer of the forest of Dean, having bad saline
'cunt stoles, suspected the prisoners, and accordingly took the
deceased, who was it•constable, with him to search the pre-
mises dr Win. Turner. Here they found some of the corn and
sacks, which Mr. Hull identified. Turner was not at home,
but they took into custody his wife and sister, and lodged
thou in Mr. Thompson's house. On going iii quest of W. Tur-
ner, they met him and the other prisoners, all armed with
blud;cons ; and having said they only wanted him, heat first
consented to go, but afterwards, on holding a parley with his
companions, he suddenly drew a pistol from under his shirt-
frock, and shot the constable dead UN the spot. In the con-
fusion occasioned by Thompson's falling, all the prisoners
were suffered to escape. They were severally taken with the
exception of Wm. 'I timer, the of eat murderer, who has not
since been heard of. Mr. Hall confirmed the above rarticu-
tars, and brought the case home to Heath, whorsked his slit k
Ana threatened to split their skulls it' Wm. Turner was taken
away. A Mr. Davis, who was present, stated that It. Turner
repeatedly pulled his brother William by the coat, and told
him not to go. Several witnesses were next examined, to
prove that the prisoners had assembled with W.Turner,(who
had made his eseape),.for the deliberate purpose of iesening
th, women by force. Ann Peartmer whose minor they passed,
said that Heath said, it would be blood for blood if they could
not got the women.

The (left/lice of the prisoners was extremely vague, and the
Jury returned a verdict of—Guilty.
The learned Jud•4e immediately pronounced the sentence
of the law, and ordered them lot-execution on Monday (last.)

CUMBERLAND.
VICIOUS DUGS.-HARTLEY v. lIARIUMAN.

This cause occupied the Court from • its opening at nine
o'cluek on Tuesday morning, trl about t wisely minutes after
tli.ee to ilw afterucion, and exerted considerable interest.
Mr. Scarlett said, the plaintiff is 31illiam }fettle), Esq. Qf
Rose-hill, near %I:knell:teen hl 11118 county, and the defendant
a Geatleman wilt) has travelled 1011C11 initoreige parts, mini-
cul iily on the Continent of Europe, b I having fixed his re-
sidence in Cumberland, lie pur.ehased a house, and a small
quantity of laud in the immediate neigistirourhood of Mr. Hart-
ley .Coming froin x foreign land (11,11 y) he had given this resi-
dence the classical name of 'I iv oli —a 'Wilt itiSClt celebrated
in ancieut times, and of course carrying with it the most
pleasing recollection, as well as an idea of refinement. It
did not appear, however, that the defelidaist had importal
the urbanity of the countries he had visited refiue-
meets which we expect from one who has cultivairei and has
a taste for the flee arts: this would most clearly appear in the
course of what he harlao advance. Intim month of Novem-
ber last, Mr. Hartley, wishing to ornament the grout's' near
Isis house, and to improve the breed of his sheep, made a
purchase of eleven hue Leicestershire sheep, commonly called
mug sheep, which were sent to him all the way front 'Leicester,
and for which lie gave a guineas; when they arrived he turned
them into the field, which lies between his ON it gat den and that
of the defendant. Mr. ll:mistime it appears, keeps three doge
Tivoli (twit plthaClll and a little ten tier) fur the purpose Of
defl'lltllflg his possessions. One of these pointeis was of
so swage a eaters., that he spared neither malt nor beast.
Mr. Hartley and his servants had all been attacked by these
ontrageuns dogs ; they were not safe to go humo at eight,
for it was at that time they weir permitted to prowl about
wherever they pleased. 1% lieu the •licep artived, Mr.
Hartley sent a message to Mr. 11 irronaa, stating,
that as lie hail gut wan saleable sheep, he hoped
the defendant would take care of his (tugs, as tie re
was great reason to think they nld worry the sheep. Mr.
1141111114t1 sent back word to Mr. Hartley, that he kept !Ili
dogs for .the purpose of guatdu g his in eperty, and if they
mete not enough he would keep filly more. As was sm-
pecteti, the dugs did tall upon the slie;.p several times, and at
last they killed the ec, audbit four others so seine clv as to cause
their deaths, thus spoiling t he w hole of the flock. An soon as Mr.
Hartley was intornied of this, he wrote w letter to Mr. Harri-
man couched in the mildest terms. It began, " Accidents
will happen ; I am sorry your dogs have injuredony unfor-
innate little flock; I should have seen you this inormeg 00
the subject, but melt rstuoc.l you were not up ;" and it con-
cluded in the same strain and spirit by the proposition to Mr.
Harriman to take the flock off his hands, paying hint the that
cost ()frilly guineas. What could be fairer, or more gentle-
manly, or inure neighbourly than this ? Mr. Hartley wanted
nothing for bringing the sheep into Cumberhuid—lie required
nothing fur their keep—lie only wisatil to cover the expence
of the first purchase, and so let the matter drop. But dots
Mr. Harriman follow the example of his oeighbour ? No. He
waits sonic :time, and then he replies by i letter in a strain
the very reverse to conciliatory. He says, having had time to
investigate the charge of the dogs killing the sheep, lie be-
lieves the same to be unfonnded. lie cannot but regret,
therefore, that Mr. Hartley should have made such a charge.;
arid in a strait, of indignation lie refuses to pay the tit'ty
guineas, and rejects ail), further discussion of the subject.
Now, contended the Learned counsel, no man of proper
feeling woald have acted thus towards .neighbour who had
always lived on the best terms with lane, and who had been
injured. Mr. Hartley was reluctantly drivel) tutu Court to
seek that redress which he tau, .1 to get its a mare amicable
way ; and Mr. Searlett trestea tee result of the appeal would
convince the defendant that the law will not atitliorise hint to
keep dogs to assail people or propei ty,
After evids :ice was heard on butte sides, the Judge, Mr.
Barna \Yield, bummed up. lie said :aeri, were Ouse
iitiestions fur the consideration of the Jury—first whether the
sheep had been attacked or worried, as it was called, by the
dogs. Secondly, it' they had hien so worried, was it by Mr.
Harriman's dugs? And, ehirdly, whether Mr. Ilarriwan had
received suflielent prev kills notice to take cane tit liis doge"
These were simple questiuns fur decision. In his pinion ;t
was not necessmy fur the dogs to have actually bitten the
persues they attacked, to prove their savage mature.
Verdict fur the plaiatiff—Dainages zll. 10s. Both plaiutiff
and delendant were in Court dm ing the vial.

INDIA.
CALCUTTA, MARCH 15.—The following is a COT-
net account of the negociations and operations which
preceded the capture of the fort of Hattras : The fort
was completely invested on the 12th, and the option
was given to the commandant, Dyn Ram, to surrender
en certain prescribed terms, or to stand the result of a
siege. At first he appeared resolved on embracing the
firmer part of the. alternative. On the evening of the
13th he sent a message into camp declaring his readi-
ness to deliver up the place. A detachment, consisting
of two grenadier companies, with an en:,ineer officer,
was accordingly sent to take possession ; but, after wait-
ing several hours outside the gate, it was forced to re-
turn, in consequence of the Rajah having changed his
mind. The sincerity of his proposals now began to be
suspect ed. Negociations however, were commenced anew,
a second tender of submission was made, and the second
grenadier battalion was actually paraded to march up
to the gates, when intelligence arrived of the Rajah
having a second time forfeited his word. The garrison
did not exceed 2:100 regular soldiers ; the outer fort
has twenty bastions ; these were very high and strong,
and were guarded by forty-five pieces of artillery.—
The besieging force occupied three different positi-
ons in front of the fort. The Cawnpore division, under
the,personal command of General Marshal, was posted
towards the cast. The Mattra division under Ma-
jor General Dunkin, to the west, and the Merut
division, under Major General T. Brown, to the south.
The train of artillery consisted of 50 mortars and
howizers, and 24• and 18 pounders. The General
thinking it necessary to put a stop to the unsatisfactory
state of suspense in which the indecisive conduct of
the Kajah placed them, ordered down the gallopers of
his Majesty's 24th dragoons, and fired a shot into the
fort as an indication that all pacificatory parley was at
an end, when Dya Ram's two sons, young men in high
blood and spirits, declared that it would be disgraceful
to give up such a fortress without a previous struggle.
The elder, a lad of twenty, having procured two lacks
of rupees from his mother, paid up the arrears of the
garrison on the 14th, and made them swear to defend
the place to the utmost extremity.

EMIGRATION NO SECURITY.—+A circumstance has
recently occurred near Calais which excited much con-
sternation among the Fl:glish visitors in France. An
Fnglish gentleman was arrested for a debt of 6001.
contrasted in England. The arrest was founded upon
a judgment fur the above sum, of some standing in the
'ourt of King's bench, Westminster. An exemplifica-
tion of that judgment, certified by the proper officer of
tlie Court, attested before the Lord Mayor, dud certi-
fied by hint and by the French Consul resident in
London, was transmitted to the Supreme Court at
Paris. An exemplification of this process was then
sent by the supreme Court of Paris to the Court below,
with directions to send a copy of the proceedings to the
party, and summon him to attcnd before it. This pro-
cess was accordingly served upon the party, but he took
no notice of' it, and judgment by default went against
him in consequence in the Court below, at Boulogne
Having received information of this last step, he was
advised to avoid Ling taken on execution, to enter
what is called in French practice, an opposition to the
judgment, which, if not done within twenty-four hours,
rxecution must take its course. He was fortunately in
time to avail himself of this advice, and the case is ex-
pected to come on fur trial in a few days. The French
Lawyers conceive that the process is not tenable, and
it may be readily presumed that all the persons who
have run away to the Continent tc• avoid the payment
of their just debts, are of the same opinion.
VACCINATION--The recent epidemic of casual
small-pox, has -in a great measure abated; the cases
have been of very serious and fatal tendency, and more
confluent than usual ; it has not spared even those
patients who befinehand suffered the natural small-pox,
nor those who had received variolous innoculation,
nor those who had been vaccinated, all of whom have
felt their insecurity ; for many, in these several depart-
ments, have fallen victims to the attack ! We mention
this fact as a reason for obviating objections to vaccina-
tion ; and, we rejoice to find that the prejudices which
the poor once entertained against vaccination, have almost
died away—a fact proved by the many thousands of
them, who prefer it tint their children, instead of ino-
culation, which is now asked for by comparatively
very few. We refer, in this respect, to the returns
from all the Vaccine EAttblisments, and front the Small
Pox hospital at Pancras, where the registers are cor-
rectly kept. In our medical observations of the season,
we have to remark that the autumn fruits, to which
it is usual to ascribe much of the disease commonly
prevalent at this time, arc more scarce than usual ; all
stone fruit has fi►iled, and even the walls, as well as the
standards, have been very unproductive. Hence we
auger a more healthy season on that account ; and
the fever which was very rife in the metropolis, during
the spring, has subsided, and left us in a better state to
approach the winter.

TALMA.

On the return of Talma from this country, one of
the French Journals preferred two charges against him,
from which he has thought proper to defend himself in
a letter to the Editor of the "Gazette de France."—
The first charge was, that he had endeavoured to intro-
duce contraband English merchandise, when he landed
at Calais. To this Talma replies, " My effects were ex-
amined with much politeness by the Donancers of Ca-
lais, who did not find in any respect a contravention of
the laws." The second charge was that he had, ut a
public meeting in London, toasted " Prosperity to the
British Nation." Much as we may be surprised at that
temper which would induce a French Journalist to
make such a toast a matter of offence, we havelinfinitely
more reason of astonishment in looking at M. Talma's
defence.
"To have united a political wish to that health which I
proposed in the midst of persons who were only assembled to
C clelwitte the arts, and particularly honour my profession,
would have been, to say the least of it, a piece of lolly. To
forget, under such circumstances that I was a Frenchman,
would has e been more than mere absence of mind ; and this
double impropriety would have been tacitly blamed even by
those whom I was addressing.
" It is gratifying to me to state the reception truly fraternal
which I received front the Artists of London, the flattering
distinction, the attention of which I have been the object, in
the highest classes of society. But the profound gratitude
which I feel for these testimonies of affection and esteem (ha
nourab!c at once to the French Theatre and myself) have not
induced me, to forget those unmixed sentiments of atl.tchmsnt
and predilection which every man owes to the Canntry that has
given him birth.
Thus, in M. Talma's opinion, it would have been
highly criminal in him, he being a Frenchman, to have
wished prosperity to thaA. nation, the highest personages
in which were endeavouring to do him the highest ho-
nour. But M. Tubuai cannot forget that he was a re-
publican, and though he afterwards stooped to " lick
the spittle" of a tyrant, his republican feelings hang
about hint still. Whether his recollections of his early
career are consolitary to his feelings, we will not insult
him by enquiring. There is " a small still voice," that
speaks within every man whose sensibilities are not
dead within him, and which will best tell M. Talma
how far he hasdesersed the honour and respect which was
paid him by " the greatest noblemen, artists, men of
science and literature" in this country.

Mr. Tramenox.—The John and Edward, for .New
York, on board of which was Mr. Indedon, sailed from
Liverpool on Tuesday selsnight. The following ex-
tract of a letter written by him to one of his friends,
may not be unacceptable to our readers :
" The most eventual period wt my life being at hand, viz.
the bidding adieu to my native 'country, it calls upon use to
leave the feeling of my heart with my friends iu Britain, now
as old Neptune promomeea the moment of my departure.—
The pilot is on board, and when he quits the ship, to his care
I confide these lines. Yon may naturally conceive I 62.1 many
outer pangs at this trying crisis. My children and their off-
spring cling foretuly round nay heart, and though from this
hem our bodies may be separated, nay mind, to the remotest
period of my existence, still will hover rotund them, To you
and all nay hiends, I offer mosigrateful acknowledgments rot
the abundant marks of kindness 1 have experienced sharing
my long professional career; I do not allude to patrons alone,
but to nay tnuoical and theatrical brethren also I give my thanks,
and lament sincerely that the present fulness of my heart ren-
ders me incapable of sufficiently expressing them. I trust any
in lustry anti perseverauce in a foreign clone may ultimately
reward any speculation, so as to enable me finally to deposit
any bones near the graves of my ancestors and that in the
moments of my dissolution, I may have the satisfaction of
/teeing nay progeny sm round me.
The aneho'rs a peak.—Ciatl bless you,and fare you well."
The Journal General of Paris gives the following
anecdote concerning the 'trial of Nlartinetz, the lea-
der of the Pernambucan Insurrection, front a private
letter which it states to have been received front Rio
Janeiro : .
•• Martinez has undergone repeated intemivitions. At one of the
examinations to which he was subjected the President demanded of
him, floral what motive lie had arrogated to himself the title of I'm ince
of Liberty? when Martinez answered, I exacted nothing from the
people ; they wish to be free aual they will be so. I could not permit
myself an inconsistency equal to that try which you unite the word
Prince with that of Liberty. If ray pretended friends of Rio and
Bahia had kept their word as I have kept mine, pa, Gentlemen of
the Commission, would have been acting bet Ore me, the part which
has now fallen to my lot. You tisk far my acomplicest—examine,
look among yourselvm, and perhaps many of my judges will quit their

LORD ANIHERST AND BUONAPARTE.

The Caesar, which, in consequence of the loss of the Alccste
frigate, recently brought home Lord Amherst and his suit'
Coin Batavia, is the bearer of the latest intelligence from St.
Helena relative to the health and manner of living of the
ex-Emperor of France. The Camas ►aving occasion to touch
at St. Helena, Lord Amherst expressed a desire to be intro-
duced to Buonaparte, and in spite of some obstacles which
presented themselves, his Lordship, with Capt. Maxwell and
Mr. Lynn, surgeon of the Alceste, were allowed to wait upon
him. On the 3d of .fitly Lord Amherst was ushered into
Buonaparte's presence at Longs' ood, whilst Captain Maxwell,
and the Surgeon waited in an anti-chamber. It was not long
before these officers were desires, to join. There was
nothing in the appearance of Buonaparte which in the least
indicated ill health, on the contrary, lie looks d well, and less
bloated than ordinary. In his conversation with the patty,
his questions were pot with his usual rapidity; indeed they
followed each other in such quick succession, that answers
could only be given to those which appeared most marled
and important. With Ids general curiosity, Buonaparte in-
quired of the officers what stations they filled on hoard the
ship, and on learning Mr. Lynn was the surgeon, be inquired
what system of pharmacy lie pursued.—" That depends upon
circumstances," replied the surgeon. " I hope," rejoined
the General, " it is' any other than that pratiised on this V-
land, for hero we have the same thin over and over 110 W-
- and celuuiel for ever." The conversation taking
turn en the mis•ion of Lord Amherst to China, his Lordship
related the canoe of its failure, which he ascribes, to the
necessity imposed upon him by the Emperor, of smiting the
ground nine times with his forehead; an indignity which
his Lordship intimated could not be submitted to. Here
Buonaparte's answer skewed the man,—" Incited! Now
bad it suited my policy to send an Ambassador to the Em-
peror of China, I should have instructed him to kiss his great
toe, and if that would not do, he might, if required, have
saluted a more ofieusive part, provided my object could be
attained."

In the course of conversation Buonaparte said he knew of
no law which gave the Powers of Europe the right of de-
tabling him a prisoner at St. Helena or elsewhere; and
strongly urged the propriety of his present situation being
taken into conside,ration by the crowned heads of Europe.
Notwithstanding His disappointments, lie still affects great
reliance on the justice of the Prince Regent of England, when
unconnected with national policy, and the influence of Mi-
nisters; and, with this impression on Isis mind, he expressed
anauxiols wish that Lord Amherst would be the beater of a
letter from him to his Royal Highness, which had been pre-
pared some time, with the intention of forwarding it to Eng-
land. We have reason to believe we are correct in stating
that his Lordship undertook to deliver the letter in question.
It is said to be couched iu the most respectful terms; but
iriscovers a soreness throughout, on account of the unne-
cessary restraints he alleges that he is made to undergo. The
officers of the late Alceste found that he can have the range
of the whole island in his exercise of riding, driving, or walk-
ing, provided he will allow a British officer to attend him ;
but to this he objects. As it is, lie may extend his walls
about I miles, but then lie is liable to meet in his perambu-
lations, British sentinels nt various points, who never fail to
present arms to him. Madame Bertrand was seen by the
British officers, and the impression made upon them was, that
she was a very handsome and clevr woman.

Friday se'nnight the lady of Edward Rigby, Eq. M. D. of
Nora ich, was safely delivered, at his house at Fiaminghate,
near that city, of three sons and a daughter. Wis. Rigby is
as well as naval so coon after child-bit th ; the chitdrcii ai
all alive and quite hearty. Before the With of these little
ones Dr. Rigby was the father, by his present of eight
lovely and healthy children, the two eldest of nllOlll are
twins. Remarkable as is the above event, there .Ire circum-
stances w hich render it peculiarly so. Dr. Rigby is a gnat
crurutfuther, and probably, never before were born, at one
birth, three great atria and a great aunt—such, being the re-
lationship between the above mentioned parties and the in-
fant son of John Bantree, Esq. jun. of Colchester.
Some thieves lately robbed a pond belonging to T. Wood-
ward, Esq. of Frimitield, of tell brace of tine carp, which had

the thieves were found Boating dead oil the surface of the
water. The poisoned fish that died quickly, and tell to the
lot of the robbers, it is presumed, found their way to the
