It. seems the EMPEROR has been taken by stir-
: prize, and outwitted. by' his brother the Kurt, of
PRussrk; for it is evidently against him that the Im
perial Rescript is direEled,, , The plain
,staternehl of
the ease is this : the KING OfF!RUSIA was in such a
hurry to take posseSsion of his share of-the plunder,
that hiS troops, were already advancing- and taking
their positions,. whence,, at the, word _of command,
Oley,.thight spring on their prey,. The ,ENtreaoit
OfGcamarsot, jealous that the KING had thus stolen
a march upon him, addresses all the
,States in, the
most paternal language, and requests they will all
keep their respeOiVe plaCe.l untithe is ready to she w
them the road. -This is indeed the true history of the
Rescfipt, and it reminds us of a Cornish Parson on the
sea Coast, who, when about to commence his•sermon,
heard a voice cry out " wreck;"_ and, saw 41 his pa-
rishioners quit,t heir pews to share in the plunder. He
• immediately apostrophized his Flock in the, folloW-
ing words "'My Christian Brethren! I have a
" word or two of great importance to say to you,'!
(while uttering these expressions-, he gently -de,
.scended from the Pulpit, and advanced .to :the
:.Church-door), '"
Ley us nil siart fairly." -.
• A Letter by the overland Express troth tombay,
says, " Accounts received at DO!' 4,4 the way of
Armrutsir, state, • that a general engagement has
taken place between lie nephew of ZEivrAtix SHAH
and the son of his brother, MAHMOOD SHAH. The
day and place of this Aelion appear_ to have been
:on the first of February, efew -toss beyond Cabal.
in the heat of the battle some of.the'Cenerals be,
longing to ZEMAUN'S nephew' plunde'rtid his camp,
and joined the enemy ; a tOtatiout, -W-40ite imme.
~diate consequence of this desettideri'' The Conquer-
ed Prince fled to Cabal, and being el4sely pursued
by. the Vitiot, continued, his flight accompanied
only by twenty-five horsemen, to J'elalabad. The
vidorious- Prince -entered,Cabuli and was -received
with the acclamations of the inhabitants of all rams,
who complained- ,grievously of the oppression they
had suffered tinder the reign of ZEmAuiv SHAH."-
Having. assured thethof tediess and protealon, and
bestowed the Xhelat of the Viraitit. on the son of
MmiuMmitri KHAN, he dispatched ICHANA2AID
KHAN arid JEHANGEER SHAH,•with four dustahs of
horSe, in pursuit of the.fugitives. They came up
with ZiiMAU.N SHAH in 'three days, and took him
pristiner, with his Vizier, WUFADAR KHAN; their
families and .baggage. The Viabr. has placed his
own Troops' in all the Garrisons of Cabot and
Peshawur, and Vakeels from the Chiefs of Cash_
rimer and Rotasgurh have waited on him with offers
of submission.'

CstrcktET.4—A Grand Match of Cricket was play-
ed on Saturday at Hampstead, between eleven Gen-
tlemen or Fidmpstead and eleven Gentlemen of High.,
gate, for 500 guineas, which was won by the latter
by 20 runs. ,

A few days since a silversmith in Oxford-road
was defrauded of a considerable quantity of plate by
means of forged drafts, by a person assuming the
chargier of a Lieutenant-Colonel, about forty years
of age. He is suspected of having defrauded a great
number of tradesmen both in town and country.
We regret to have occasion noticing the accident
which betel Mr. Hos as and Capt. BARKER, of
Portsmouth : they were coming down Portsdown
Hill, in a single horse chaise; in consequence of
some boys kicking a tin-kettle, the horse rook
fright, and run away with great velocity down the
hill.; Capt. B. jumped out of the chaise, and un-
fortunately broke his leg—,the chaise soon after up-
set, Mr. Hoßits was thrown our, and received se-
veral violent contusions in his head ; they were both
brought home, and Mr, HOLOSs it is feared, .will
not survive..
