Lord MILTON, after expressing his thanks, congraa
tulate.d the County of York, /bet it had-not been car-
ried away by tlio,-;arts w.hicli he Ministry had, but
too successfully einploye.i.bn some other places,_and
• •he allude., p3rticularly to. r. Pnrcetal's Address at
Nortti~itnpt.n. It had -,even. beetr-prefessr.ti-ip. tha.•
Speech,- I:iieniinn to dissolve
the Parliament at a time when the people were still
Minkel' of some wont circumstance, st is to
say, when. the people were E 0 lie3ted by the.o: ea.t of
Popery, as to be unahle to a fafr add dispas-
sionate judgment. Reconsidered the alifie.:ll as made
with- a view to have the 'cle6sion of Luc people be*
tween the late and the present 4.dtninistrition, and
the County of York had now vindicated the COndod
of the late Administration in his person. They had
countenanced the -principles of. the Hampdens and
Sidney's, by whom the foundation of our' liberties
had :been laid; .and it should be his-endeavOur always.
.to ad up to those principles. • His Lordship then ob-
served,-that he. was- norinsensirbleto the verfp6euliat
ob'igations which be-o Wed on thiS occasion te.i a very,.
Du4le ous class of persons, he meant the Yorkshire
Clothiers..; His gratitude to them was Very grea.toind

no personal,.objedion to the Hon. Gentleman over

and open coriduti, which he had manifested through
the_ whole of this contest, had increased his respect
for him. • .He concluded' with acWising his friends WI
use with moderation the ivicaory- which they had
achieved:
The Hon. 1-1. LAscar-Lts then returned thanks.
He rejoiced_ that the Noble Lord new appearedto
be sensible of the danger of inflaming the public
'mind and he wished, that in the year 1796,. when
the most alarming degree of
,ffifiammation had been
excited', -the same apprehensions-had prevailed, ,He •
insisted that the tense of the County, so far as poli•
lied questions were concerned; was-not in
.favour of
the Noble Lord, but was Manifestly in favour of him'!"
self. The Noble Lord owed a chiefs part of his sup'',
• port to the Clothier's, who had been unfortunatelf
irritated by measures respelling them, which he had
felt it to be his. public duty to support. Whether he
_surveyed the transa4iOns of this Eletthin,
peared merely on the. surface,. or whether he looked.'
still deeper, *he declared that he .tary no reason
regtet any thing that he had dune " and

situation in which I new stand, than in that of the

buittrr, Strzcz the duel between the aan-
,ditiates for Wexford, Mr. 'Ar.cocit and Mr. Cot.-
cLouriA,:the challenge originated with ALCOCK,
Itld the cause, we understand, —The lat
ter had been promised, by a Lady of consider-
ireoperty' in 'the oranty, every vote she could
. influence or command.- Some of Mr. CokcLutiii'S
friends andertobk to canvass her tenantry in
fa-
vour of- that Oentleman,; which 'having '-come, to
the: knowl&!dge of Mr. Accocs„, he inane:lately
clemaaded ran explanation from Mr. COLCLOUGH.
The latter; it. is stated, deaied any knowledge of
bis friends' proceedings., but Mr. ALCOCK insihted
that it was to-him alone (Mr. COLCLOVGII)". he
EliOUld look for satisfaCtion. A challenge ensued, on
which Mr. COLototrox submitted -himself to the di-
redion pf his Committee, The Gentlemen.who cony
posed it were of opinion, that Mr.Co L ct.ouga should
meet his antagonist. Mr. BEAUCIIAMP COLCLOUGH
was the-friend to the latter Gentleman, and Mr. PEn-
CEVAL was Mr. ALCOCK'S. The first fire was fatal' to
Mr. Co LC:LOUGH, the ball having lodged in his, heart.

APtitlit .OP Hotoug.--The following particulars
tif an extraordinary event of this kind are given as
authentic; On Sunday, the 31st of May, in the
afternoon,' Lieutenant-Colonel 'C. met Colonel S.
in the streets. of Dundalk, -and, without, any pre-
vious eenversaton, expressed himself in the harshest
and most opprobrious language: Colonel S. i‘stonisli-
", ed at so 'unprecedented an attack, moved on, with-;
out making any reply, and committed to paper, as
well as he could recollect, the words that had fallen
from Lieutenant-Colonel C. and immediately called
upon a friend to wait upon Lietitenant-Colonel C.
.Who informed him, from Colonel S. that in conse-
quence of what had passed in the streets of Danclalk,
-that day, he was deSired to' acquaint him, that
ColOnel S. felt himself compelled, by what. he
considered the most extraordinary and unprecedented
Condild, on the part of Lieut.-Col: C. to tell him
that he .considered that condua as most ungentle-
;nab-like, and desired that Lieut.-Col. C. would
name an hour and plate the next Morning, in order
that-he might have an opportunity of justifying and
supporting'the charaaer he hoped he possesied
the,world, and which he was determined to vindi-
rare against any unfounded aspersion that might be
attempted to be cast upon it by Lieut.-Col. C. or
any man."
. They accordingly met at the hour and, place fixed,
and before the Gentlemen took their ground, Colo-
nel S.'s friend desired to know from Lient:-Col. C.'s
friend, " in what instance..Lient.-Col. C. charged
Col. S. with arty improper conduct or behaviour,
either as an Officer, or a Gentlemari,towards him ?"
To which Lieut.-Col. C.'s friend replied, " that
Lieut.-Col. C. did not take upon himself to lay any,
specific charge as to Col. S. but felt -that his gene-
ral condwa, for a series of yeats, bas been such as
induced him to conceive that insinuations had gone
abroad injurious to • his charaaer, as an Of
a Gentleman; but that if Col. S. Would, under hii
baud, say he never had acted so towards Lieut.-Co-
'leel C. he would retra& the words that had fallen
from -hire :"—To which Colonel S's friend imme-
diately said, that Lieut.-Col. C.'s most extraorcli.:
nary and unprecedented Condit& had made any sa-
tisfaaion on that bead inadmissible."
'The Gentlemen then took their ground, and dis,
charged a cao• c_of pistols, alter which Lieut.-Colonel
C's friend asked if Colonel S. was satisfied, upon
which Colonel S.'s friend made the following reply :
" ColonetS. Can never be satisfied with Lieutenant-
Colonel C.'s taandua ; he disclaims ever having
Oven Lieutenant-Colonel C. any offence ; he came
into this .field to vindicate his honour from any in-
jurious impression that might be made upon it,
even by the unfounded attack thathas been made
On him. consider that Colonel S. has sufficiently
discharged himself as a man of honour, and if you,
Sir, are of the same opinion, I see no good reason
for the Gentlemen to proceed any further." Lieut.-
Colonel C.'s friend, agreeing, the Gentlemen parted
Without further explanation, or any reconciliation
taking place.

CURIOUS PREDICTIONS.

The folloving remarkable Prediaions ofCESAIRE,
Bishop of Arles, in the year 542, which' the • events'
of the French, Revolution have so amply fulfilled;
however-curious the fad may appear, was 46tually-
recorded in the Royal Library at Paris, 'in a book
entitled' Liter 11/lirabilis, from which it wasextraet--
ed about 40'years since, by SiC JOHN LAI,VsoN,. Bart.
of Brimgh-Hall, in Yorkshire. ,

shall be, so blinded, that they shall leave it without
:defenders. • - • .

them, and over all the rich.

"The universal Church, and the world, shall
deplore the ruin and .destruelion: of a most Cele-

" The altars of the Temple shall be destroyed ;

A
Tilt REIM-Mr. nevi's has'finiShed his Pi&ure
of The Death of Lord. Nelson. The appearance of
the- Hero,' in his last moments; is very atreaing
and the work has the additional merit of:represent-
ing exa&ly the place where the lamentable 'event.
happened. The dying Chief displays an etepression
of piety that triumphs,ovei the langour of sickness
and the approach of death. The Figures (all Pm-,
traits of persons really present) are grouped. with
gri.at judgment, and charaterized by affeEting.sym-
.pathy.- The whole makes an awful impression on
the feelings. The colouring 1i chaste, and the effe6t
of light from the.lanthern (as the melancholy scene
takes place in the cock-pit) is a remarkable proof of
professional skill. This admirable Pieture was
painted by order of Mr. Aldet'man BOYDELL, who
seems resolved to sustain the credit' of a .name so
long and justly diftinguished in the Arts, by a liberal
patronage of. Works calculated to do.honour to his
Country.

The Plaihtiffic are coach proprietors : the Defen-

Mr. PARK; for the Plaintiffs, said, that this adion
Was brought to recOVerfrom the Defendant various
sums of money, which. the I'laintitFs were under the
necessity of paying to:ditferent
_persons for injuries.
thei had received, in -Consequence of, the negligence
of ,the Defendant, in overturning a stage-coach.—.
The Birmingham Telegraph., owned by the Plain-
tiffs; came into Oxforct,,early in the morning,• and
it was the duty of the Defendant to. conduct it to-.
wards London the next stage. At about four O'clock
in the morning of 3d of July last,• this coach- was
setting out from the Angel Inn, Oxford, under the
conduct of the Defendant, who, without regard to
the lives of his Majesty's subje&s who might be in
the way, or to the safety of the passengers, mounted
the box in a state of intoxication, drove furiously
out of the inn-yard into a narrow lane leading- to
the High-street, and continued to flog the bases
most cruelly, until turning round a corner the coach
was overset. this wilful miscondat on the part
of. the Defendant,. many of the passengers were
severely injured, and the • Plaintiff's paid, as a corn-
pensation,^loo guineas to a Mr. Acherly, 5o guineas
to a Mr. M`Ginniss, arc' 20 guireas,to a' Mr. Par-
tridge. His Lordship would inforrn-the Jury; .that
if this case-were made out on behalf of the Plain-
tiffs, they would be entitled to recover the different
sums so paid, from-the Defendant.
Mr. John Partridge, a stove and grate manufac-
turer, said, that he was returning from Birniingliam
,to London, on the night when the accident' hap-
pened.-- Although.the paSsengers upon, and in the
coach, called 'to the Defendant not .to drive so fast,
seeing the inevitable-consequence, yet-1:o entreaties'
would prevail with, him to slacken his pace, and in
turning round' Coach
,and Horse-lane the coach was•
upset. . The witness obtained-from the Plaintiff's 20
guineas fur a very serious injury ha had received
upon that occasion.
• Stephens, the Guard of the coach, who had- his
arm broken in three places, deposed to. the .'same.
facts; as also did Mr. M‘Ginniss,' who lay senseless'
upon the ground tor-a considerable time, with his
shoulder dislocated, his collar. bone frattured, and
his head Much lacerated.
John/Banharn, wird afterwards drove the coach,
proved the quietness of 'the horses; and was 'con-
firmed by .Edward Betterton, and by Thomas Crow,
who had driven them for three-or four years.
Mr. GARROw, for the Defendant, ;said, that
less it were proved to the satisfaction of the Jury,
that the misfortune was owing to the carelessness of
the Defendant, the Plaintiffs, could not recover; for,
supposing it, to ,4ave happened by there, accident, the
Defendant was not answerable. 'The present case
reminded . the Learned Cotinsel of' a circumstance
which happened to a Gentleman at the Bar, who ex=
amined-a person called as to 'a particular fad, which
turned Out to be against the side he was supporting ;
the Gentleinan having omitted to read opposite to
the depositionsof the Witness, in- the thargin.of-the
Brief, the .words, "Of that fact tenderly." So here,
the Learned Counsel for the Plaintiffs had been in-
struCted to tell the Jury, that the Defendant was in-
toxicated, but was prudent 'enough net to examine
his witnesses. as to the circumstance, even tenderly.
The whole case was this : in the first instance, the
Plaintiffs wished to try an experiment upon a young
horse in this coach, which was one cause of the ac-
cident; and in the second place, the guard, whose
duty it was, had omitted to put np'the drag chain, by
which means it got entangled in; the sway bar, and
the coach was overturned.

When the evidence was called, it wholly failed to
support the case of the Defendant, and a verdict}
was found for the Plaintiffs, 00 guineas.

examining her,t)elow,.they found that the h td stt.r = •
ed several of her planks. The gale increasing quit 3'
to a hurricane, and, the rudder com't)letely knocki-d
,off by the violence of the ship beating against- the
rocks, they-were obligpd to throw all the guns over-

not a single man received the least injury, and :.3;)a)
people on board. ' The Ship is entirely lost, and' a
great part-of the men's appointments. The Offieer3,
having nothing but their baggage with them, have
not suffered much."

FRENCH PROTECTION.--Among other instances
of the state of happy security and freed, se which the
Dutch people enjoy under their Gallic friends, may
be mentioned the following faa, which we coukt
authenticate by the name of the party, if it were
proper :—A Mercantile Gentleman, who had fitted
up his house in a very elegant style, with piaures,
statues-, &c. and who possessed a iconiderable quan-
tity of plate, has had so many French -Officers
quartered upon him, that he has been literally ob.:
liged to sleep-at the top of the house, in a place
that exactly corresponds with what we call the cock-
loft. He is obliged to keep a table for all thes!.s
Officers, who think they display very sgreat‘con:N_
seension in permitting hirn'to dine at it. This!, do
not, however, condescend to have any intercourse
with him, or honour hirn with' the leas' notice.
His beautiful mansion is converted at roost into
a 'hog's-stye, by the offensive manners, of his mili-
tary inmates, and' his piaures, statists, &c. -have
long ceased to be an incumbra.nce on him.—
This may be considered' as a genuine sample of
what the men of property in Holland at present
endure ; nor, is the situation, of those whose poli-
tical principles were noteri,ously faVourable to the
French at all better, as 0716 latter look with perfed
contempt upon the.- Dutch People in general, whe-
ther friends or foes. The only good effect which
has attended the reMenee of the French in Holland-
has been the total extiriaion of all political diffe-
rences, in a geueral:ahhorreece of their oppressors ;
and if the Dutekby any fortunate event could be de-
livered from the bondage under which they groan in
bitterness cif heart, they would. most probably for a
long time be an OnitediPeople.
• Oi,vt' readers, no doubt, will recolle& the distrcAs-
ing account we gave, a short time.since, of the at-
tempt to execute poor Hales, a soldier, in the Island
of Jersey, in which the executioner attempted to
strangle him, by pulling his legs from under him,
"and-nut being able to elle& his purpose, got upon his
shoulders to break his neck ; notwithstanding which
tbe poor fellow survived, and the speaators inter-
fered in consequence, &c. The whole of this dis-
treSSing case has, been laid before His Majesty..; ana
we are happy to say His Majesty has been gracious-
ly pleased to pardon him, on condition of his serving
for life in any corps His Majesty shall please to di--
Zeta. Baroes, a comrade of Hales, who was convia-
ed with him, but respited, has likewise been par-
, cloned by His Majesty, on a similar condition.
