ALIENS.—A foreigner, representing himself as
Count Frederick de. Rode, a Captain in the Em-
peror et' Russia's Hussar Regiment, has been en-
deavouring to gain admittance into the Pavilion,
and caused a little annoyance,. which induced
Townsend and Sayers to look, into his motives.
He was attended by a servant. It was discovered
that the nnfortunate man had no passport nor
money. He stated that he was of noble birth,
had fought in all the battles throughout the two
campaigns France,, that he received several
wounds, and during his stay in Paris had been
ruined by gambling, having lost upwards of 50001.
He had walked from London to Brighton, for the
purpose of obtaining pecuniary assistance from
the Nobility. Townsend and Sayers humanely
took charge of him, and conveyed him to the,
Alien Office in London for protection, from •
.whence the officers returned yesterday.
SHIPWRECK.—About three' weeks ago, the
Mi hill schooner, bound from Alia to London,
struck on the Owen rocks, off Worthing, and
stink in deep water. The dreadful-gales this 'week
have floated the wreck off this place, where frag-
ntents of the . vessel and cargo are hourly being
picked up:

TOFFEE AND SON---(191h Day.)—This morning
Toffee started at two o'clock, and with his sou
accomplished, at 9, 25 miles; at 12, they had
gone 34 miles;- at .6, 544 miles; and 10 minutes
before 9, they finished with 65 miles.
BLACKHEATH PEonsTRIAN.--EArrox yesterday
morning completed 1004 tildes, and was then pro-
ceeding to accomplish the remainder of his task

ANCIENT LITERATURE.—An English Gentleman
has discovered, at Smyrna, a Greek manuscript
of the highest antiquity. Ile purchased it at a
low price from a Jew, who was ignorant of its
value. This MS. of parchment was in part eaten
by the worms, and had fallen nearly to shreds,
Which renders much care necessary for its preser-
vation. It has been transmitted w London,
where the learned Israeli, having recognized some
lines of Homer in it, was induced to examine it
with great attention, from which he is convinced
of the MS. being one of a Poem of ;loaner's, on
a subject. connected with that of the Iliad.---The
style greatly resembles that of that immortal
Poem, (Front a French Paper.)
