PLAToF,F,

The story of PLATOVF'S female companions from
this-country being on their return is nun-tie; in-
deed, the whole matter, as stated by the Papers,
was a gross exaggeration. Having formed a
stronger attachment than is common in suci, in-
tercourse with a Mrs. DENYS, the Cossack Chief-
tain prevailed on her to leave England with hitn;
and so lovingly is he linked to the fair Briton, that
it would not be very surprising were he to elevate
her, to a Princely rank by marriage. Mrs. D. is
accompanied by a female
.friend, and a servant ;
and these have been converted by lying fame into
three mistresses for PLATOFF. We are informed,,
that Mrs. DENYS is a woman of great beauty, ac-
complishments, and elegant manners ; she had
reached Cologne with her admirer, ,and had a great
ascendancy over him.

PLATOFF has been in thirty-seven general ac-
tions, and was never wounded but once, in his
youth. When he landed at Calais, he was as-
sailed by a popular commotion, excited by some
evil-designing persons, from the fury of which he
only escaped through the strength of his escurt of
50 Cossacks.

A serious and apparently irreconcileable differ-
ence has, we are sorry to say, arisen between the
Managers of Drury-Lane and Covent-Garden
Theatres.—The play-bills of the one have,stated
this clay to he Monday, the third of October,
while those of the other as openly assert that it
is Monday, the fourth We imagine the error
must lie with the Covent-Garden Rulers ; for so
little do .they re atd times and seasons, that they
made the dog-days begin on Friday night, the
30th' of September.

MR. SADLER'S ASCENSION.--Mr. SADLER as-:
cended with his Magnificent' balloon from Don-
caster, on Thursday last, at half past one o'clock,
and descended at Micklewaites,
near Darfield, Barnsley, 101 miles from Don-
caster ; but, from the various .directions which
the balloon took, its actual course must have
been upwards of 20 .miles. The ascension- was
allowed by judges to be. one of the grandest and
finest ever seen. The descension took place about
sen minutes to three o'clock. The voyage Was
safe and pleasant. The previous. process for in-
flating the balloon was carried tin with • perfect
regularity, and excited great interest. The con-
course of people was immense.
Captain Sir PETER PARKER, Bart. who unfor-
tunately fell in an heroic conflict up the Chesa.-
peake, in the diversion made to distract the atten-
tion of the enemy previously to the attack on the
city of Washington, was the last of his race of
maritime heroes. He was the son of Rear-Ad-
miral CHRISTOPHER PARKER, who, by his gallant
exploits in the West Indies, was made Post at the
• age of nineteen, sand grandson to the brave ve-
teran Admiral Sir PETER PARKER, who, when a
Captain, distinguished -himself in the famous
American war, by laying with his 50 gun ship
before a strong fort in the Carolinas, until he
and his master 'were the only men remaining alive
upon deck.—What adds to the interest 'excited by
the 'fall of this. distinguished Officer, is the fact
that. his Lady was on the eve of departing. from •
London to join her husband on the American
shores. The agony of her heart at receiving the
dreadful tidings of his. death may be better ima-
gine(' than described, and could hardly be in-
creased by the affecting incident of his giving the
parole to his men; on the .day be was slain,
Brook-street," thus marking that the residence
of those dear to him at home, was not forgotten
in the horur of danger and victory.
