A singular anion ha's occupied the Court of 'Ex-
'chequer for four days this Term ; , it .was brought
by the personal Representative of a Lady, to reco-
ver damages for the breach of a promise of mar-
riage made to the deceased : the Defendant leas de-
murred. It being a novel case, much ingenuity
and learning have been displayed by the Counsel on
each side, and the Court has, taken time till next
Term to pronounce its opinion.
On Saturday and Monday, squadrons of the Ger-
man Cavalry marched in here, on their route to
England, to be embarked for the Expedition.
On. Monday night last,. Mr. Justice DRURY ap-
prehended a man named Townsend, from the county

copcealed in the handkerchief about his neck, and
innde his shirt, by the close examination of the
Magistrate; he has been identified by.several per-
sons'whom he had recently succeeded in defrauuing.

Mr. COOKE.—We are extremely concerned to
state, that some very melancholy accident is suppos-
ed to have befallen this celebrated aelor, who ,was
engaged to perform six nights in our theatre, and
should 'have made his first appearance on Monday
evening last. It is seriously apprehended that, on
his journey from London to this town, he has been
waylaid by a strong detachment of evil, spirits, who,
notwithstanding his well-tried valour in the wars of
Coniac, actually succeeded in overpowering and cur-
rying him off, but whither is not yet ascertained.—
We think he could not be easily suldued, but wou;d
maintain the contest until totally unable either to
walk or stand !--(Manchester Volunteer.)

Officers, vvith Griffiths at their head, on the 14th
inst. but the want of ammunition.
