M NC HEST ER, JAN. 4.

ON Sunday evening we had again an alarm of
fire, ,at .a Fadory in this town ; but by 'imme-
diate and alive assistance, it was extinguished
without very material damage. tWe are very
sorry to add, however, that about three o'clock on
Tuesday morning,' there was a more -criotts alarm
at a Fatory in Oxford-road, principally OCCU pied
by Mr. Dean, It had taken fire, and .the flames
had so far spread before they were discovered,
that "all attempts to extinguish them were ft uit-
less, and in a short time every article .was de-
stroyed, and the walls only left standing. Mr.
Dean's property was insured, but another tenant
of a, part of the building will be a considerable
sufferer.

. .
We are glad to contradia a report of this
Faetory having been wilfully set on fire, as there
is not the smallest foundation for it.

Spoturirrc.--AThe -Berkeley hounds had a ter-
rible hard day for the hories on Monday last :
after a short run ~at Bear Grove, they drew off
to Shottesbrook coverts, where, instantly unken-
neling, the fox, broke most gallantly, crossed
the lawn of Colonel VAssmakr, over the open
country to Kiln Green and Hurley Park woods,
where running for'neaiitn hour without being able
to shake off the pursuit, he again faced the open
country, re-erossed Vansittarts, and reached 'once
more the great wood ; finding no permanent shel•
ter in which, he again broke covert, and passing
Brickbridge, led the pack through,the H4Y.CS and
and }infield to Billingbear Park, where taking
the wholt'ehain off coverts he returned over
Waltham COITIMOII, and by liriek.bridge, to the
place where he was found, and the. hounds were
holloaed off when it was dark the horsemen
could not see each other„ and after one of the best
runs ever seen in the country. The severity of
ti= Chace, anti the depth 61 the country,
.obliged
several, to give it up at the end of the first hour,

tercessioti of Mr. HAMILTON.

D.4O4I3EACER.-A poor German; a carpenter,
and-a fugitive soldier; has accomplished that for
which merchants, philosophers, and politicians,
have been during ages; still renewing disappoint.,
vd wishes, and projefting enterprizes at best, but
imperfealy successful. Thii man, by tame C.'
F. 1/Imberger was, the yelir 17131, trepanned
at Artterdarn ittN,the service of the Dutch East.
India Cgmpany, sit'a common soldier. On account
of illness, he NVAS "detainea for a while at the Cape
of Good Hope ; though enlisted and sent out from
I lolland, to serve in, Batavia. Refusing to gratify
the lewd desires of die wife of one of the Officer's
commanding at the Cape,. he Was, in ebnsequence.
of her artifices and feigned cornpl.tints, ordered
for Batavia a second time. He had been, ere this'
time, informed of the unwholesoMeness of the
climate of Java, and dreaded it as if he had been
ordered for execution. He deserted: and as his
desertion could not otherwise be concealed; took
the desperate resottitipn of advarring into the
Interior Wilds of Africa.

A carbine,' a few pounds of gunpOwder, some
.!
balls, a small stfm-ofirtOney; and a fewother
ticks of indispensible necessity, were his only
apparatus', for the eritererize. He journeyed
North-East from ;he Cape; pasied onwards
without interruptiOn' through the ePutitsy„ of the,
kind, simple, and hospitable Hottentots ; even
among: the fiercer and less. humane. Caffiarians;
i7pet ‘vith much more of gentle beneficenee than
f injury, ,With the Narrative of the Travas
Of Le. Valliant he was before acquainted ;' and "as
he went on, he found continual occasion to detca
the errors and fidions:of that Traveller.

He observed, among' other things, that the
Caffrarian Matrons half the privilege of nor being
liable to be struck by their husbands ; and yep, •
that married pairs'livcd there in enviable unani-
miry and peace. From, the Country of the Cal-
frees he turned' Westward, and continued his jour-
ney in a North-west dirc.saion, till he arrived in,
the kingdom of'Angol:i. Among the Muhotians,
a race not more sayage, but more egregiously
cious than any horde Ilia' had befote visited,
discovered the bodies of five Europeans, who
appeared to have been cruelly *sacred ; and,
was hin4ell exposed to danger; from the unna-
tural' lust of some wretches of that community.
He, however, eScaped from their brutalitY, and
after Jong wanderings--; came to Malemba, a wal,
led town on the river Congo. Its King treated
him at first with 'kindness,; but- was 'afterwards
persuaded by the Prime Minister to reduc4 him
to the condition of a slave, and use bun cruelly.
lie ar last escaped out of that Kins'., era:
yelled Eastward, and then- again backwatds to
the North-west, in a line of Journey nearly con-
tiguous ° those which are culled by Geogrophers
the.Martatains of Moon. After dangers almost
incredible, he was made a Slave by the Moors.
A Merchant ,of I\4ezzabath, whose pmperty he
had become, sold him ,to another who was return-
ing. to MOroaco With'a caravan from Mecca. He
cuss carried btlhis man >to the Sea-Port Town of
Azaffe, in the Moorish dominions. A Mr. Van.
derhaft, a Dutch Gentleman, there ransomed him'
from servitude.' Ha was brought on board a
Dutch Merchant Ship to Amsterdam. The inter
C. •
,position of a russtan Ship Captain rescued him
from detention in Holland: He rook his passage
with that Captain to Dantzick, and soon after ar.
rived, in the year 1797, at his native town in
the Prassian dominions, from which he had been
more than sixteen years absent. In An2;ust last
his Narrative ,of his Adventures was published at
Leipsie, in German.

The Innkeepers in several parrs of the Coun.
