The WeymoUtli tails are at present patronised
by a considerable' number of the fashionable order.
Lady 'A. M. Corrox, at a recent entertainment of
that kind, sprained her anele violently, and Miss
Marijuitt4, still more unfortunate, broke the len-,
don Achilles as she was dancing ; a circumstance
that, has excited much Concern, and much
nished the ple..sure of the place.
REYNOLIA new Musical Drama is to be called
The Deserts of Arabia. The Uniformity of the place_
seems not to admit of much picturesque scenery,,
but as all.the painters are busily at work, the piece'
will most probably be diversified by several beauti-
ful oas'es. - •

Mr. Monk Le*is- has written a Work which he
entitles Feudal .Tyraiits. He might have employed
his talents perhaps .trnich better against Republican
Tyrants, who have brought more extensive horrors
on the world than ever attended the Feudal System.,
now so completely overthrown in so many States
in which it formerly' pevailed.
Mr. RICHARDSON still continues so ill as to be
unable to get in or. out of bed without assistance.
A t °pious
.dis Charge of, coagulated blood and puru-
lent matter froth the'wbund took place on Saturday
last, which has greatly relieved him. This is con-
sidered a favourable circumstance, and will contri-
bute, it is thought, to hii speedy redoyery. The
ball entered just above his right hip, and did not
lodge, but went through his body in a lateral direc-
tion, breaking a rib in its paisage. Mr. R. is not
sufficiently well to receive the condolence of his nu-
merous friends and
,acquaintance, in person, who
daily manifest their solicitude for hi,; safety, and their
concern for his sufferings, by their coustant
after his health.

Bury Fair, during the'last weeks has , been more
than usnally brilliant-2-the ASsemblies of Wednes•.
.daY.and Friday evenings, contained nearly all the
beauty and fashion of the county, as well as a great
number of non.q.esidents of high distinCtion. No-
thing could exceed the appearance of the New
Booms-on the latter evening, when no less than 375
persons were present, arrayed in all the elegant vari-
ations of fashionable dress. The Ordinaries of the
Angel Inn (at which both sexes.. unite) were also
very numerouslyattended; and, the Theatre has had
its share of attraction;--being very fullyattonded on
Thursday and Saturday evenings, when the per-
formances were much applauded.

SAILING- MATCH.--On Thursday a sailing • match
took place on the !Medway, which afforded consider
able aniusetnent.—About ten o'clock in the morn-
ing, seven Boats, belonging to the fishery, 'started
from Rochester Bridge; they sailed round the lower-:
most Ship on thil West Shore, nearly opposite
Sheerness. and 'back again,' round a' Boat stationed.
opposite the Vidualling Orrice for the purpose, to
which they returned by five
,o'clock in the after-
noon.' The wind was light, and all the -Boats,kept
nearly.together, till they were within two -or three
miles of Chatham, when Nos. 1 and 6 took ground :
the first prize was won 'by LETLEY'S Boat, No. 2,
• which had 101.; the second Boat had 81.; the third
Boat had •61.; the fourth Boat had • 41. ; the fifth
Boat had 21. .; the sixth Boat had 30s. The above
sums were 'paid from a fund which had been raised
by subscription, 'under the patronage of J. HULKESi
Esq. whose Pleasure Boat sailed; and -outstripped
all the others. It is supposed that the match will
be established annually.
Mr. Fax remarked of a.' certain Baronet, that
". upon every visit to.Whtiedon he returned in
'such a state of political heat, that it took a fortnight
at least before he, Mr. Fox, 'and his friends, could
bring him down to a constitutional temperanzent.7-
-.lt was probably during Such a fervid mood that a re-
cent Letter to the Eletors of Westminster was
written, which not only contained no tribute to the
metnory, of Mr. Fox, but was as regardless of him as
if no such chara&er had ever existed, notwithstand-
-ingall the bustle' which was-made in order to find a
proper SuCcessor to him in his Parliamentary, Seat.
Whatever might have been the former opinions
'of Lord LADDERDALE on political subjects, and
particularly
,on the state of things resulting from the
French Revolution, we doubt not that the late visit
of the Noble Lord to France, and the-melancholy
condition of oppressive bondage to which the people
of, th4t country are. reduced, have given him new
.viewsof, indeed; it were not probatlle that he had
chatiOd his mind long since, after what he has
served of the progress •.of military despotism, of
which meat countries are in danger when once their
established and legitimate Gavrtunont is over-
tkr.owe.

" Calm; fogs, a very intricate navigation, and a
variety of puzzling incidents, protraded a landing
until the 25th of June, when it was eifedei
opposed at Quilnies, about twelve miles below this
City; that night the Troops, lay on their arms, and
about tioon next day moved on across a very diffi-
cult bog, under the, fire of the Enemy's Artillery;
the,7lst Regiment attacked, and drove
numerous Cody of Cavalry and some Infantry .oc-
cupying an elevated Plain, near the village of Re
dudion; taking from them five ph•ces of cannon...
On this occasion Captain 'LE 13i,ANTc, an a3ive and
spirited Officer of the 71st Regiment, had the mis-
fortune to loge a leg by a cannon 'shpt.,. and seveii
SolerierS of the 71st Regiment were wr;unded--the
rest of the Army perhaps half that number. '.
" After a short rest on the griund the Eneink
had occupied, we advanced towards Rio Chuello;
expeding that night to secure the bridge uv it; b'ut
it was set tire to by the Enemy and consumed on oar

an objea partiCplarly claiming our attention, as un-
like the Buccaneers of old, we religiously respeCtall
priVate property, as that of the Church;
notwithstanding there is still 16ft here property
appertaining to the OrcAvn of Spain, in tobacco,
Peruvian bark, quicksilver, 24e. &c. which, if it is
brought to a proper account for the benFfit of the
captors, and reaches England in safety, is likely to
place some of them in a state of affluence, rarely
attained in the purse of military, service.
" This Country has the richest soil, and the moat
Superabundant plenty of all good things 1. have
ever beheld, or had formed an idea of. Half
dozen good.. English bat:aliona and 'a regiment; of
'Dragoons, in adunion to our present force, are
fully competent to overturn' for ever the ebllossal
greatness; of Spain in the Southern hernisphere;
and.it is impossible to employ them any where more
advantageously for Great Britain.

" July Bth;. by a capitulation granted, to the City,
five days after it came into onrpossess ion, it was agreed
upon that all ppblic property of every 'description,
should be faithfully delivered' up to the captors, and
the' Cabilclo and Magistrates have bound 'them-
selves to see that this article is faithfully and ho-
nourably complied with; in conformity to which,
five or six hundred thousand dollars of the money
carried off by the Viceroy, have' been returned to
us ; and by a letter this day, from an Officer of the.
71 st, advanced nineteen leagues with a small parry'
on horseback, it appears that he is in possession of
about much more, which May be expeClOd to
arrive probably. in the course of the week.

DuEL.—Sunday morning a Duel was fought‘near
the Obelisk, Mount Edgecumbe, by a Mr. ARM-.
STRONG, Midshipman ,Of His Majesty's Ship Prince
.of Wald, and a Mr. LONG, Midshipman of the Re-
sistance Frigate, which lately sailed from .Plymouth.
His antagonist's ball entered his right side, and, it is,
thought, lodged in Ms left shoulder. This circum-
stance took place at half-past
.eight o'clock in the
morning, and Was not made known till three in the
afternoon, when the Port Admiral ordered search'
for thedeceased. He was found lying on his back,
his hat on, his pockets turned out, and a cane lying
across his arm. His second, Mr.GßAkism, Midship-
mahof the Monarch, had left him immediately. after
the fatal ball• Was fired, and retuned to Dock with
Mr. ARMSTRONG and Mr: WELLS, of the Prince of
Wales, his second The dispute originated at a cxlm-
mon. hop in Pemliroke-street, where ARMSTRONG
wanted to put out the lights while the deceased was
dancing with his girl. High words arose, and they
immediately adjourned to an inn,, where the chal-
lenge was settled. Mr..LONo, Was a' youth' of en-
gaging manners, about 18 years old,•and, it is said,
was related to :the Duke of MONTROSE. A stria
search is making after the parties, who, it is said,
are gone on board their. respective Ships. -The Co-
'roner's Inquest, was, to he held upon the body on
Monday evening. •

An elderly woman, who resides in Mary-le-bone,
made an attempt to drown herself on Todsday afiir-
noon in the Thames, near-Battersea Bridge. She
had been observed picking. up stones; aitd putting
them into her pockets,.betore she Made the attempt,
which
,was done in the presence of some children,
and a Man in the employ of Mr: Barret, of Lam-
beth, Who was going down the River in a boat, and
repaired. to the spot and extric.ned her from the -wa-
ter,:which was not more than five feet deep. She
'Was never seen to rise after Stie.had plunged in.—
She had been only about four minutes.in the water,
