Amonst the new arrangements in Scotland, the

Were given to Messrs. Gibson and Inglis, Writers, in Edin-
burgh. Archibald Campbell Colquhoun, Esq. now Lord
Advocate, is succeeded in the Sheriffdom of i evil by Mr.
W. I'vPDonald.
Dr. MITCHELL, a Gentleman esteemed for his
knowledge and talents iri the Unitoa
Status ol'tLmc—
rica, and the Representative of New York, cju-
ceiving that his Country is not yet designated by a
proper name, proposes that all the land ceded to the
American Governtnent,by the Treaty of 1783. should
hereafter be distinguished by the name of FR EEDON,
implying a free gift, or any thing done freely, or the
Landot Free Prwilegesand Doings. To give the Coun-
try a more musical and poetical sound, he suggests that
it might be called FREDONIA, and the natives FREDO..
NIANS. But for more familiar and convenient use he
observes that a native may be styled a FREDE,.which
he considers as quite on a par with a Mede and a
Swede. To further the .plan hp would introduce
the adje&ive Fredish, as a Fredish Ship, a •Fredi,h
man; a Fredish manufa6ture, &c. &c. There is
some ingenuity in this scheme ; but, perhaps, the
attention of the American 'people at present would
be more properly di'realy towards the establishment
of their Own security against the arts of French
Jacobins, and the support of their honour and inde-
pendence abroad, in order; to use the words of Dr.
MITCHELL in reference to his new proposal, that
their " common and beloved portion of the earth
may thereby acquire a name, and be famous among,
the nations.'

Poomism.—On MOnday the 23d tilt. a long ex-
pe&ed pitched battle was fought at Coningsby,
i Lincolnshire, between Mr. John Swan, of C,on-
ingiby Inn, and Mr. John Randsley, farmer, of
the Haven Bank. Both the combatants are extreme-
ly powerful men, and the style of the contest did
not disappoint those who had impatiently awaited
a display of extraordinary muscular fOrce, exerted
with more than common skill. After several rounds
of hard fighting, which reduced both parties to such a
condition that they could hardly be recognised by
their fiiends, .vi&ory was declared on the side of
Mr. Swan. The Seconds were, for the conqueror,
-Mr. William Dalton ; for Mr. Randsley, Mr. Wil-
Tam Bell. It was expected another battle or two
would have succeeded the above; but the condition
of the combatants at the close was not that which
excited the envy of those who had whole 'skins,
and no challenges were given. But that a cor-
respondent has taken the trouble to'furnislTt us with:
a full account of the fight, we should not have 110-'
ticed a circumstance which is certainly not creditable
to two persons above the lowest station in life. The
bare publication of it amounts to reproof. The con-
flint, we are informed, arose from a dispute about
the transfer of some landed property !
The following circumstance, no less curious than
iuteresting to the safety of almost every family, oc-
curred at the house of rvlr% Whitworth, diaper, in
Northampton, about two o'clock in the afternoon
of Tuesday Whitworth perceiving a strong
smell of fire, was induced to search into the cause
of- it ; when, going into a bed-chamber, he found
it proceeded from a crape handkerchief, on fire,
hanging against the wall,,i,vith one end on the dress-
in;;-labie. No fire or candle having been in the
rAom, it is supposed to have happened from the fe-
fle:tion of the gm's rays, drawn to a focus through:
a iarge globular bottle, filled with water, whit. ic
stood upon the toilet, a few inches from the crape
handkerchief. The toilet was scurched and also the

SIXTY-SIXTH BULLETIN o, THE GRAND ARMY.
" • OSTERODE, MARCH 14. The Grand Army
remains in its.cantonments, where it takes repose.
" Frequent skirmishes have taken place bel weer' the
advanced posts of the two Armies.
'"-Two RegiMents of Russian Cavalry came on
the 12th inst. to harass the 69th Regiment of In-
fantry of the Line in its cantonments, at Lingnau,
before Guttstadt. A battalion of this Regiment wok
their aim from an ambush, attacked and repulsed the
Enemy, who left 80 men on the field. Gen.GuyoT,
who commands the ailv"anced post of Marshai SOULT,
has on his side had several affairs of out-pasts with
the enetny, in which he has had the advantage.
" After the little battle of Wellenburgh, the
Grand Duke of BERG expelled the .Cossacks from
the• whole of the right bank of the Alle. In order
to assure himself that the Enemy were not making
some movement, he went to Wartenburgh, Sod-
'.burgh, Meusguth, and Bischoffsburgh. He had
some engagements with the Enemy's cavalry, and
took 100 Cossacks prisoners.
The Russian Army appears to be concentrated
on the side. of Bartenstein, on the Alle. The PrusSiart
Division; on the side of Czentrburgh.
( The. Enemy's Army -have made a retrograde
movement, and have approached nearer to Konigs.•
burgh.
" The whole of the trench' Army is in canton-
ments it is provisioned by the towns of Elbing and
Brannsberg, and from the resources drawn from tilts
Island of Nogat, which is extremely fertile.
" Two bridges have been erected over the Vls,
tula, one at Marienswerder, the other at IVlarien.
burgh. Marshal LEI?EBVRE has completed the in.
vestment of Pantzic. Gen. TEULIE has invested
Colborgh. Each of these Garrisons have been driyea
into these towns after Slight engagements.
" A division-of 12,000 Bavarians, commanded by
the Prince Royal of Bavaria, had crossed the Visl,
tula at Warsaw, and is coming to join, the army."

CONSTANTINOPLE, FEB. 20.-:.-Mr. CHARI.ESAR4
EUTHNOT, the. Minister of England, appeared at a
Conference which had been assigned bythc,ratai.
and declared at it as folliaws :

" That the Sublime Porte, not haying ceased
display a propensity and partiality in behalf of France,
bad, particularly since the arrival in that Imperial
Ae.sid:ence of General SEBASTIAN', the French Am-
bassador, changed her principles and system towards
her. Allies.

" That the said Ambassador having; a fey days,
after his arrival, presented a Note, which contained
certain.threats, this Note ought to hav,e been return.?
ea, and its author immediately expelled froth tb4
Sublime Porte; boat
,that, on the contrary the
Sublime Porte, giving. a favourable reception to the
said Note, had signified to Russia that her Ships of
Wor,must.no longer pass through the strait of .the
Black Sea.

That in the affair of the conArmation of the
Vaivodes of Wallachia and Moldavia, an afThir which
► took place at the sequel of the preceding one, the
Sublime Porte ought, at the very instant, to have
acceued to it ; but tier tardy GUllt,Clit, which was not
granted until three weeks after the formal demand
made by the Rus.,ian Envoy, was a proof of the su-
perior influence acqured by the Court of France.
That,' in. consequence, the Courts of England
and Russia have settled and arranged between them-
selves, that the one should convey troops by land to
the Mussulmao territory, whilst the other should
send its fleet by sea to tne Capital of the Ottoinaa
Empire. If the Sublime Porte. will irnmediate4i
proceed to the renewal of her Alliance with the said
COurts of England and 'Russia, on the ancient fuutt,
ing, and if she will drive' the French Ambassador
froin the finpori3l Residence, the war shall imme
diately' cease; but should it be otherwise, t 4 rue.
titre of friendship with England is inevitable. -

•` That,
.in order to execute the plan already
agreed on, theC,')urt,of England, without reckoning
the Squadron of Sliips it has at present stationed
before the INland of Tenedos, was to send from ita
harbours a complete Fleet, w►►ich. was to etlect a
junction with the Russian one, in order tQ enter to,
gether the Strait of the Dardanelles.

", That if the Sublime Porte intended ,to give
negative answer to the present proposal, the
bassador won id cause all the English- Merchants who
wire in the Ottoman States to return to their coy n-
try, and he would remain here to renew the some
pr„posA, and again confer on the same object, when
the said'combined naval force's should be united in
this Imperial Residence."

Each-of these proposals was answered in a most
energetic manner by the REIS-EFFENDI: that the
French Ambassador was so far t roil) having threatened
the Sublime Porte, that since his arrival his Govern-
meat had been engaged in a war with Prussia; be-
sides which, the great inferiority of the tuaritim*
forces of France was such as could not lead to any
suspicion than that Power intended, in the slightest
degree, to injure the Porte; that it was of her own
accord, and with judicial proofs in hand of the crimes
Of the two Hospodars, that the Sublime Porte bad
determined to depose them; that the French Ambas-
sador had only learnt the deposition of these Princes
at the same time ns the other inhabitants at Constan-
tinople ; that the .English Minister had dispensed
with reminding him, that having made known, whilst
these proceedings were going on, the interest which,
the powerful King of Great Britain took with regard
to the two Hospodars, the Porte had shrunk from
the proposal of being, at the same time, at war
with Russia and England ; that in consequence,
SuitanSELlM, and all his Mitlisters,. putting up.
with the greatest affront which could be offered
to .an independent Power; re-established the Hospo--
dars, who but a few days since they had declared.re-
bels ; that the Sultan Still% by a sublimeetfort, had
placed himself above tile feelings which have the most
influence over men, in order to purchase the peace
and happiness of his subjects at the price of the most
painful sacrifices for his heart ; that he had received
the Hospodars in his palace, and given anew the in-
vestiture
of Wallachia and Moldavia to Princes justly
recognized as criminals; that instead of the peace and
. tranquillity he had hoped for, he had obtained only
war; that his provinces had been invaded,' and thlitti
in most insulting manifestoes, the Russian Generals
-had tz'44,l the liberty to state uptivcs. for war thqif

ple j that thus attacked by Russia, he had been forced
to repel arms by arms, but that he had then flattered
himself that a generous Prince, that a nation so en-
lightened as Great Britain, would appreciate these sa-
crifices; and that after having testified to the Sublime
Porte its satisfa6tion at the re-establishment of the
Hospodars, that, before two months were elapsed, the
Minister of the same Power would not have declared
that this compliance liad been too tardy; that thus
the Minister of England had manifested, in a short
time, different opinions and opposite intentions ; that
it is a mere mockery to cite, as a proof of French in-
fluence, the facility with which every thing has been
done that England wished for; that Sultan Sew?!
cannot but appeal to the magnanimity of the Sove-
reign of Great Britain; that, constrained to repel force
by force, the Sublime Porte hopes, with the assist-
anceuf the Almighty, that she shall triumph over
the most unjust of aggressions; and that if at length
she must sink, she will perish in defending her ca-
pital ; and that the English nation, more than any
other, will experience irreparable damage from the
disasters of the Ottoman Empire ; that this Empire
exists by the will of the great and merciful God; and
that if such be the divine will, from the very de-
spair, to which Sultan SELIM has been reduced, will
result the necessary energy for the defence of the
State.

It is said, that. several times during this speech the
REIS-EFFENDI could not contain his emotion ; and
that it was on going out from this conference, that
the English Minister got on board the Endymion
Frigate, ordered the cable to be cut, and recommend-
ed the English w'hom he left at Constantinople to the
Care of the Danish Minister, and even to the inter-
vention of the French Ambassador, well persuaded,
the latter would be far from imitating the conduct
adopted by the English at the time of the expedition
into Egypt, and would consent to recommend the
merchants of his nation to the Sublime Porte : a step
which in fad took place.
'The resolutions of the Emperor SELINE, and his
Position under these circumstances, are worthy of
attention. Every great and generous mind put up
vows for the success of his cause. A levy of 200,0-00
Men has just been ordered throughout this Empire.
PASSWAN OGLOU is dead. The Servians -have-

Grand Seignior, have just been laid under -seques-
tration.

that, during the course of January, the Turks had
the advantage in several engagements with the Rus.:-
clans. Since the unexpeCled invasion of the Russian.

their number had considerably diminished previous to
those engagments. The Russians have not yet been

nitza,.a village upon the hanks of the Danube : the
Russians were beat with loss, so that Bucharest is in

Pied by the Turks.

INTERCEPTED LETTER OF THE RUSSIAN MINISTER
FOR FOREIGN AF'AIRS, TO COUNT ITALINSKI,
MINISTER PLENIPOTENTIARY TO THE PORTE.

SIR,

". When,, by order of his Imperial Majesty, I sent
You the Messenger KOULIVCHKOWSKY, the rime
necessary to receive your answer was calculated here,
and means prepared at the same time to obtain, in a
different manner, the results which the constantly
amicable representations of our august Court with
the sublime Port bad not presented us with. The
Messenger might have returned by the Ist of Otto-
her 2. and, as we had no news of him at that time,
bLis Majesty had reason to conclude that the Porte
ad given you no satisfaetory answer; or, at least,
'lthat she attempted to prolong the negotiation,. in or-
rti ' r to gain time, and prepare means of resistance
concert with the common Enemy. Although
se
riither the one nor the other of these hypotheses
A,llla. re with the essential interests of his Imperial
ale
'
stY he would not, however, hurry any thing
43rward• and still flattering himself that Sultan
BEI4 rq would at length perceive, on the one side, the
repeated proofs of his Majesty's moderation and
°YaltY—and, on the other, the snares laid for him
Adthe Sultan) by Ministers little worthy of the,con-
ence of their Sovereign—his Majesty determined
to
delay to the 15th of OCtober all further measures;
persuaded that if, about this time, advices did not
arrive from you, no doubt was entertained of the
existence of one of these pre-supposed causes.
~,1 It was not without a painful feeling that his
I"iesty saw the term fixed on draw near without
any intelligence whatever concerning the result

Porte, to throw light on the proceedings which
henceforth the Imperial Court was tb follow, with
regard to it.
! "In this state of uncertainty there was no Other
resolution left for the Emperor to adopt than to fbl-
low, with firmness and perseverance, the 'plan which
his Majesty had previously traced out for tlie mainte-
nance of his dignity and rights, as well as to lead
Wok the Porte, by an extraordinary commotion, to
the only principles which the most positive interests
commanded her invariably to follow. In conse-
queace, General MmHgLsow, Commander in Chief
of the Army on the Dniester, received orders to en-
ter Moldavia—not as an enemy, as malevolence will
not fail to cause him to be looked on—with the
sole intention of re-establishing the old relations
which have so long subsisted between the two Em-
pires, in pursuance of treaties, to prevent the per-
. vicious of etas Of the French domination which pre-
vails at Constantinople, and which ,threatens the
Porte with a total servitude ; and finally, to paralize
_the designs loudly given out by SEBASTIAN!, to
cause a French Army to cross the Ottoman Empire,
in order to attack us on the Dniester. Such were
the pressing motives for the orders given to General
dated•the 16th of Odober. 'Such was
_also the sense and spirit of those orders which this
General was to publish from the time of his en-
trance into Moldavia, both with the Government of
that Principality, that of Wallachia, and with the,
different Paellas commanding fortresses on the
Dniester and the Danube.

" Eight days after the expedition of these orders,
i. e. the 23d of Odober, we received your relations
of the 6-18th of the same Month, by which • you
state the re-instatement of the Princes Moßouzi and
Yest L ANTI, confining yourself to this simple informa-.
tion, withoilt entering into the least detail on any
thing which might enlighten the Imperial Ministry
concerning circumstances of this nature. Whatever
might have been the desire of the Emperor, our au-
gust Master, to revoke, from this time, the orders
given to General MICHELSON, his Imperial Majesty
,has -thought it to be his duty to wait the further
eclaircissements stated in yOur Report of the 6-18th
of 'Oaober, in order to obtain a more positive and
.detailed data concerning subje6ts of so important a
nature, and to be enablial to take measures in con-
'sequence. On these results we received your dif-
ferent dispatches of the it-23d 06tober. Ido not
conceal from you, Sir, that by their contents hislm-
perial Majesty has not observed, without grief and
surprise, that in such a crisis you should have con-
ceived it your' duty to confine yourself .to the mere
re-instatement of the Princes.

.44 Whatever be the interest that, under so many
considerations, the Emperor has been forced to take
in' maintaining, with regard to the Porte, this part
of his rights, you cannot, however, Sir, be ignorant,
that they are not the only ones which, his Majesty
is well entitled to claim ; and that, besides, the prin-
cipal end the Imperial Court has in view being to
ascertain, in a positive manner, the dispositions. of
the Porte, this single and naked demonstration, car-
ried into effeal with so bad a grace, cannot suffice to
atThrd us, in this respeCt, that guarantee which we
hold to be indispensible. Who can answer to us, in
fa6t, that this partial satisfaCtion has not been giVen
to us by the Porte in consequence of advice even of
our common Enemies ? The different conferences
which the Ambassador SEBA.S.TIANI had with IBRA-
HIM KIAYA, and the other Ministers of the Pthrte, in
the course of this negotiation, plead but too much in
favour of this supposition. ,
" Let us suppose,
.for a moment, that the dis-
missal of the Hospodars .had been the only griev-
ance which we had to chargo the Porte with : bow,
even in this case, could we rely with certainty upon
the strict and 'full execution of the reparation
.which
the Imperial Court has just
,Obtained, after the more
than equivocal tergiversation of
,Prince Mortoesi,
and in the sad state which Wallachia is reduced
to, the finest part of which is invaded by the troops
of PAS WAN OGLOU, without the Porte appearing to
have either the intention or the necessary means to
represS these disorders ? Were it then only under the
latter consideration, his Majesty cannot be satisfied
with the satisfaiiion givedi• before he be assured that
it will have its full effect ; and it is for this purpose
that the presence of the Russian troops must effica-
ciously contribute to restore to the two Principali-
ties,- particularly Wallachia, that state of calmness
and security whibh the Imperial Court has guaran-
teed to them by the most solemn transaetions.
You very well comprehended, that it is not the per-
sons of the Hospodars, Mottoes' and YPSILANTI,
'that essentially interest the Imperial Court, but the
tranquillity and welthre of the two Principalities in-
trusted to their administration. It is thence that en-
sues the obligation which Russia is under of sup-
'porting an order of things which was only establish-
ed by her intervention, and under her auspices ;
and she can no longer tolerate the vexations.with
which I',SSIVAN OGLOU and other Ayans,. Rpproxi-
mate to Wallachia,' overwhelm t hat unfortunate pro-
vince, without essentially derogating from whit she
owes to herself.
" Independent of these considerations, which re-
late exclusively to the two Principalities, there are
others which would not allow his Imperial Majesty
to look upon the satisfaktion which he has just ob,,
tained as a sufficient pledge of the sincerity of the
Porte in her return to the principles which have
occasioned our remonstrances. Not to repeat again
the new grievances set forth,in.tny dispatch of the
26th of August, I shall confine myself to the re-
capitulating the principal ones, without the redress
of which his Imperial Majesty will never think he
can -rely upon the friendly dispositions of the Porte
towards him with a 'security which the safety of his
States requires, combined with the present situation
of general affairs.

" The pretension of attempting to hinder the
passage of his Majesty's Ships of War and Transports
through the Canal of Constantinople, and the re-
iterated difficulties which the Porte has thought pro-
per to manifest upon recent occasions, but too evi-
dently demonstrate the blind submission of the
Turkish Government to the will of Fraoce; and the
incalculable deviations into which these dispositions
may lead it, since it no longer respeas the most
solemn Treaties. To obtain in this respe& a gua-
rantee proportionate to the importance U'lliCh we
ought to place in the preservation Of our, right of
Passage, throhgh the Canal, his Imperial Majesty
thinks it his duty to demand a solemn and authentic
declaration, by which the Porte shall oblige herself-

un-

never
and in no case in
der any pretext whatsoever,
" Another objet to which the IMperial Cdart
Must attach equal importance, is the renewal of the
Treaty of Alliance between the Porte and Great
Britain-. The motive which makes his Imperial
Majesty wish that this renewal may' place as soon
as possible is, moreover, only a consequence of his
dispositions, constantly friendly, towards the Sublime
Porte, and oldie 'solicitude with which. his Majesty
endeavours to •obtain the independence and
tegrity of the Ottoman Empire ; for if, on the
one side, it is evident that the Porte would thereby
free itself :for a long time from the despotic influ-
ence of the French Government, it is not less so on
the other, that in persisting in her refusal to the
British-Government, she might at length provoke
the resentment of .a Power wh'ose great maritime
means would not fail to beaOme fatal to her.'
"To sum up the Contents of this dispatch, which
I have the hOirobr to address to you by the express
order of our august Sovereign, you will observe that
his Imperial Majesty Cannot think the relations ex-
isting between Russia and the Ottoman Empire aS
replaced upon their ancient bases, but •

" 1. When the rights and prerogativeS sectred
to the Principalities of Moldavia 'and Wallachia, by
the different stipulations relative thereto, shall be
re.estahlishod in their full force and vigour, and
that, namely; the latter of these Provinces shall be
delivered from the Rebels which lay it waste, by
the care of the Porte, 'or by his Majesty's -troops,
and that at the sarne'time its tranquillity and future •
welfare shall be anfEciently guaranteed by the esta-
blishment
of a national force capable of defending
the Province against its neighbours of the Danube.
" 2. When the Porte shall have formally renounced
the intention of robStruaing, under any pretence
Whatever, the passage of his Majesty's Ships of War
and Transports through the Bosphorus.
" 3. When she shall have renewed her-Treaty of
Alliance with England.
You are charged, Sir, to make these different de-
mands come to the knowledge of the Grand Seignior
thro' the channel which shall appear to you most pro-
per, and not to let his Highness he ignorant of ;di the
importance which our august Sovereign attaches to
their being duly received by him. But you will take
care at the same time to assure Sultan SELIM, in the
most positive manner, that it is with great repug-
nance the Emperor has been under the necessity of
having recourse to the military occupation of the
two Principalities ; and that this determination, far-
from concealing any hostile intention against the Ot-
toman States, has no other aim than those declared
here above, but still more particularly the ardent de-
sire of his Imperial Majesty to be so much the more
able to baffle the projeas of invasion which the
French Government has ever manifested at the ex- •
pence of Turkey, and which, in the present con-
juneture, in which BONAPARTE will, no doubt,
avail himgelf of the pretext of the reinstatement of
the Hospodars, might soon be on the eve of being ••
put in execution. In general, you will omit nothing
to convince the Sultan SELIM more and more of the
constancy of the sentiments of friendship and consi-
deration which the Emperor has vowed to hirn, ad-
ding, that his Majesty will only watt the accession
of the Porte. to the just demands which you are in-
struded to address to her by the present, to give
her anew the most unequivocal proofs of it. , From
that time his Majesty would testify the greatest rea-
diness to arrange the different other points in con-
test ; the intimate relations, which have so happily
subsisted for many years past between , St.• Peters-
burgh and Constantinople, will be re-established up-
on a mole solid basis than ever ; and, assuredly, both
Empires can only gain by it, in every respe&.
!'€ The more to consolidate so happy a state of
things, his MAJESTY will be ready to receive the
Minister whom Sultan SELIM shall judge proper to
send him, to prove in the eyes of all Europe an ac-
commodation which shall-complete the wishes of
his Imperial Majesty-, and the ha ppy results of
which will thenceforth subsist without it appearing
necessary that the Porte shoUld accredit here a per-;

" You will be kind enough, Sir, to acquit your-
self of the dilie\ent offices which the present dis-
patch prescribes- to you, With the least possible de-
lay, and to inform me in like manner of the result
of your steps, that I may give an exata account of
them to his IMperial Majesty.

obedient servant,

[This Ministerial Dispatch is followed by a private
letter from Baron Bunzßac- to Count ITALINSKI,
which more fully evinces the apprehensions thin the
approach of the Frencli -armies occasions to Russia,
and the danger which would result front their union,
with the Ottoman force].

Lately died, aged 81, Mr. John Warrington,
many years a whitestnith in Ironmonger's-street, hi
Stamford. He had amassed considerable property,
whiCh he has by his will ordered to be distributed
in the following manner 8001. 3 per cent. an-
nuities to the poor in three callises, 1001. to the
Blue-coat School, and 301. for the repair of St.
Michael's Church, all in Stamford. To his sister,
who is blind and in a workhouse at Bath, he has
bequeathed t 001. ; and annuities of 801. a year to
each of two brothers, to whom he scarcely ever gave
sixpence in his life-time, although one was in an
alms-house at Liddington, in Rutland, and the
other in a workhouse in Stamford ; and notwith-
standing they are both old men, each being
nearly eighty years of age, the testator has espe-
cially provided that if either of them marries the
annuities shall no lcager be paid to them. In the
event of their deaths the 1601. a year devolves, in
equal proportions, to five parishes, viz. Uffington,
Tallington, and Market Deepincr, and Ketton and
Empingham, in Rutland, for °the benefit of' ten
of the oldest widows ; and in case there shall not be
so many, then to the ten oldest maidens in each pa-
rish.Seetnitttgly apprehensive that posterity might
not duly appreciate his charital,•le dispoSition, some
time before his death he bought a marble monument'
fin himself, and having caused his embryo muni&
cence to be emblazoned upon it, dailir feasted upon
the conjelural manna of whast men would say of
him who should hereafter read of hip extensive
bounty !

FOX HUNTING.

The season of the year is now approaching when
Sportsmen may be said to have finished their work.
In endeavouring to give our Readers" a full, yet con-
cise, account of the exploits of this season, we have
only to lament that our space precludes us from giv-
ing to each Pack their circumstantial merits, bLing,
content to furnish the keen sportsman with such a
clue as may lead him to choose his head-quarters for
next winter's campaign. We shall begin Northward',
and here the rival Packs of Lord DARLINGTX)N;
NaSTERMAN SiKEti, and Mr. Fox LANE, have each
respective merits, as well as their particular admirers.

Lord DARLINGt'IN brings to the cover-side a pack
of Fox-hounds, not only complete in themselves,
but bred with extraordinary care as to the country
they are to hunt. His men areexcellently mounted,
and it were almost unnecessary to add, that his:Lord-
ship himself rides only those which are known for
bottom as well as blood. No man rides better, and
yet the thirst for blood, so apt to get the whip-hand
of a Foklhunter, is most particularly destructive of
this Nobleman's fame. A cap or hat of; and a
halloo, sutlers the busy working of the hound to be
destroyed, and the sagacious nose of the animal is
from the ground turned to the sky. Nevertheless,
the Haby HUnt has to boast of an assemblage of the
first men of fashion and fortune, who always confess
themselves to be highly gratified by the sport, as
well as the civility and hospitality of the Earl. of
DAALINGTON.

Sir M. M. Syies, who has no mean rivals to
contend with, yet more than divides the palm with
the Nobleman above-named.—On the Wolds of
Yorkshire; he may be said to run in a style inferior
to no .man, and of this a large field of well-mounted
Sportsmen may serve as proof, by the punalual at-
tendance which they give to his well-established
Hunt.

Mr. Fox LANE, take him for all in all, may bid
defiance to all his neighbours. Hounds as high-
mottled as the riders who follow them, fly, over the
Wolds with a speed not to be exceeded-, Which- in
their cold hunting, may be found the most perfe&
system which the sagacity of the animal can furnish.
Every keen sportsman will 'find, in point of riding,
such play-mates in this hunt as will not leave thew

The Earl of FITZWILLIAM,. Who also hunts part
of the season in Northamptonshire, cannot be better
noticed than in this place. His, hounds are very
long established, and have more country, as well as,
more foxes, than perhaps any other pack whatsoever.
It is no uncommon thing for this pack to kill 80
brace ofefoxes in a year—they are very large and
powerful, and, upon a burning scent, they seldom
miss. They are, perhaps, a littld.too high in blood
to please the true Sportsman, more particularly when
they are seen in Northamptonshire, in the neigh-
bourhood of such distinguished rivals.
Lord VERI•ZON'S very old established pack, and of
no small merit in these days of refinement, meet
with little or no notice.

The Doke of RUTLAND, Sir. J. HEATHCOTE, and
the Leic'estershire Hunt how bear 'the 'belle—con-
tested only by the Pytchley' Hunt.—Ot these I pro-
pose giving you a full account, and in the meanwhile
must say, that I shall but torget to notice Sir 'filo-
AS MO sT YN, as well as Al r. Co Rin:TT'S pack.-=--The
Duke of GRAFTON'S old established 'pack, although
they have, perhaps, the best huntsmen in England,
yet from his Grace being now seldom out, are hardly
worth a sportsman's trouble, as they are but scantily
attended, except by Farmers, where there is little
punctuality, and less civility, under the present ma-
nagement

( To be continued.)

--„
The Earl of DERBY turned out a deer yesterday,
for the last time this season ; after which all the
Gentlemen partook of a grand dinner at the Grey-
hound, at Carshalton.'

On Monday last George Allen, conviaed at the
Stafford Assizes of the wilful murder of three of his
children, at Upper Mayfield, on the 12th of Ja-
nuary, underwent the awful punishment so justly
annexed to the horrid crime of murder ! He ap-
peared sensible of his dreadful situation,. and earnest-
ly entreated the spetators to take warning by his
fate.

A Lady, at the west end of the town, is well
known to be in the habit of purchasing 6ix Shares
of Tickets in every State Lottery, for the purpose,
as she declares, of indulging in the pleasures of
imagination respe&ing the good she would do with
the money in case Fortune threw a portion of a
large Prize into her lap. We know not if this Lady
bas hitherto rei►lized lier imaginations ; but there is
such an amiable principle in this ,condua, that we
sincerely wish she may participate-of some one of
the many Capital Prizes with which the present
State Scheme, now so near at issue, unprecedent-
edly abounds.
