The following audacious fraud has been prac.
tised within these few days 'Towner, ban,
ker at NeWbury, having resided at Lymington for:
the bathing season, and principally at an Inn, for
the enjoyment of society, a young Medical Gentle,
man, of genteel address,- arrived from Dorsetshire,
and having formed an intimacy with Mr. T. he
confided to him his intention of settling there in
his profession, and after a few days he took a fur.,'
nished house at 901. a year, to which he brought
his wife. Mr. Toomer went home on business-,
and learnt that- 7031. had been remitted from
London, by -Lubbock and Co. to his order at
Wareham : circumstances induced him to suspect.
his medical friend ; he hastened back to Lyming-
ton, and the Doaor and his lady being engaged in
making. purchases, they were soon met witti, anti
informed. of the awkwatd suspicion, and he w4l
taken before a Magistrate for examination,
luckily the Innkeeper was possessed of a written
order froM the Doctor, for wine,.and on compar-
ing it with the letter to the banker, they proved to
be the same hand-writing. The result was, tha;
the Doaor was ordered into the safe keeping of she:
Constable, for further examination, but they were
permitted to take him to his own.bouse ; and whilst
they were regaling themselves below, be made Isis
escape from a chamber window, and has Upt• since
been heard Tvwnsend, and another 13..my,Strect
officer, arrived the day after, with intent. to
escort the delinquent to London, and •were much
mortified by ttAe disappointment arising from his
escape. The crime amounts to forgery, .some of
the" bills remitted having required Mr. Tr.'sin„
donement, which was put, without troubling
on the subjel. The reason ven fir the sudden caa,
on Lubbock and Co- Was, shat Mr. T. had met tvitli
a small estate which -he was very anxious to
chitse.

Monday forenoon, the Coroner's Jury sat at the
Work-house in Little Gray's-Inn-lanc, on the body
of James Wilson (servant to Mr. Cruise, No: 3,
Stone-buildings, Lincon's.rnn),-who went into Mr.
Game's, who keeps the sign of the Dolphin in
Red-lion-street, 'Holborn, and called for a pit,: of
beer; shortly after he went down in the cellar,
and Mrs. Game hearing the repOrt of a pistol,
thought it was one of the barrels' in the cellar that
had burst ; on going into the cellar, however, there
lay the body of the unfortunate man liftle.ss; wel-
tering -in gore. He had put the muzzle of, the
pistol into his. mouth, and blown out his.brains;
the ball had carried away the back part of hii
skull.•• His left arm was broke 'by the tall, •It

INhar the French Cabinet would have done,
had the Troops experienced a friendly reception at
St. Domingo, it would be difficult to decide. -But
subsequent events proved at least that it had, in
this case, no premeditated Plan. Be that as it
may, our Ministers did not consent to the measure
without mature reflalion and powerful motives ;
and the event proved that their information was
good, as their calculations were just. So true it
is, that sound policy does not always exaft oppo.
sition to the wish of an enemy ; and that he some-
times promotes our interest better than we could do
it ourselves. It will not be difficult to shew, that
we could not fail to derive some advantage from
the Expedition to St. Domingo, whatever might
have been its issue.
" In the case of Toussaint's immediate submis-
sion, we should have had to congratulate ourselves,
that, without its having cost us the slightest effort,
an end was put. to this rising Empire of the Blacks,
so alarming to us., from the contiguity of St. Do-
mingo to Jamaica. The security which this event
would have given_ to oar possessions in the West
Indies, and the additional value which they would
in -consequence have acquired, would have been
advantages which we should immediately have en-
joyed,- whilst a considerable length of time must
have necessarily elapsed before the French could
lvive found capital enough, and .have rehabituated.
