BARRISTER IN LABOUR.

C N'C'D th!othcr day in my rambles to meet -'
That 'imp of a Lawyer so sWoln with conceit
He hail'd me, and said, with a voice out of breath,
" I've toil'd through ten nights, it will sure be my death.
" My pamphlet—my pamphlet !—this child of my brain,
" Pm now bringing forth with excruciating pain :• -
" My poor head how it beats !---my damnable prote
" Will send me to'Pt u ro—My-throes—oh, my throes!"
Thus spoke the Law Dolt in a terrible fuss :

morning,, the cannonade began against the.' Six
EngliSh Ships, who' were not slow in coming
within musquet-shot of the French Ships, The
Battle then took place warmly. The two Squa-
drons. appeared equally animated with the resolu.:

advantage from its pOsition, the English Squadron
• Was double its force, and had sev,eral Ships of go
guns. The English Ship the Hannibal, of 74 guns,
had already succeeded in placing- itself between 'the
French Squadron-sand the shore: It Was half past
eleven; and the decisive moment was come. For
two hours the Formidable, on board Of. which was
Rear Admiral LINoiS, -had ina,de head against thiee

'Squadron,- which %'vaS -rangettopposite to- one of thy,,

from Leghorn of the 3d instant. It. is not a Squa-

three Frigates, one .of which has entered. the road.

It is.supposed they are proeeeiling to assist in • the

will soon rake place.

SPOLETTA, JUNE '23.—The Governor of this
City has received a Letter from ‘the French Com-
I...hamlet at Bieti, announcing-the- impOrtant intelli-
gence' that the French Troops, mow•at are
immediately to retire to Terni, This resolution
has been taken in consequence of a melancholy acci
dent, which the letter. mentions in the following
words-: • •

" A dreadful Iliglfstir'has haiTened on the road
from Chieti to :It Wa Si occasioned by the
sinking down cif a 'mountain, which. has

state, that there had been an- earthcitiakei by which
five -hundred persons perished,. We'likewise learn;
that the river Pinaro,.unable to 'continue its course,
had spread itself over the cOuntrv, and formed an,
immense lake, These events were cOmniunicated
