According to the report of Gentlemen,, who haVe
inspeeted the ruins of the late beautiful town of
Chudleigh, the whole town may be termed de-
stroyed; as there is not a trade or occtipatiOn re-
maining; neither baker, butcher, publican, inn-'
keeper, or shopkeeper, left in the place—all destroyed.
.Not a yard of cloth for clothes, not a rag of linen,
not -a medicine ; in short, the whole that are 'shut
out: of home and shelter, amounting to above a"
thousand souls, are fed by 'contributions of bread
and provisions frotn the country. On the' 24th a
cart was sent froth-Exeter evith ten pounds_worth of
bread and cheese, which came very seasonably
and in the evening arrived tents and marquees tor
the poor stiffererS; also ten guineas worth of bread;
sent by'the Chamber. Two waggon's followed the
neXt•day, and on the .26th; subscriptions were to be
made throughout the city. The Fire-Offices lose
abOut 26,0001. but the total loss exceeds 80.,0001. Both
inns are burnt ;, and from the entrance from Exeter
(where remain about nine houses); the eye sees on-
ly Mr. Bond's house, ind the Church; the whole
space between is one he:zp of ashes down to thegar=
dens, and they literally scorched up by the flames.
An old national diversion has lately been revived
at Pisa, by order of the Queen of Etruria. It is
called Givoco del Ponte. As the river Arno diVidei
the town into North and South; Is° inhabitants of
the North quarter contend with an equal number or
the South quarter, for the possession of hi marble
bridge. They attack by diVisions of thirty : the
struggle lasts three quarters cif _an hour, and
.consists
merely in the parties pushing against and driVing
back each other. ThOse who penetrate beyond• the
middle of the bridge are proclaimed. viaors. The
feast concludes with a splendid repast and a bail.
Pisa being a Greek colony, it is thought to be g
remnant of the antient.Greek-games. It had not
been celebrated these twenty-two years. '
We. stated a few days ago, on the 'authority of a
private- leiter from the banks of the' Elbe, that
inclination to fight against their German brethftn,
had appeared among the Saxon troops employed in the
siege of Dentzic ; and we fitaby other authentic ac-
counts' from the same qtaarter, that the generality of
the inhabitants of Saxony are not less dissatisfied with
the alliance between their country and France.
zic, in/particular, is a very great sufferer from the sud-
:dett and rapid decline of its trade. The fair held
therethe' week after Easter used to be the most irfi
portant of its: three -gieat fairs. Within the last
twentyyears, the number of n6-v
books published at'
the Easter fair of Leipsic generally exceeded 3000,
among which there were at least 300 novels; but at
the last fair in Easter the new pOblications amounted
only•to:062, of -which-88 were novels, and 38
plays:. Great as thiS differencereally is in one single
branch of trade, it yet bears no proportion'to zhe
dithinution which others Anust have experienced;
for, instead'of from thirty-two to thirty-five thousand
merchants and tradesmen, who used to resort to,
the Leipiie Easter fair, for the purpose of buying
and selling, there were hardly eight thousand at the
last fair, and-those chiefly sellers; who did not dis-
pose of a sufficient quantity of goods to defray their
travelling expences.
