It has been thought by some, who do not knotv
the charader of Frenchmen, that BoNatsAßte will
ruin himself by indulging his Aml.,ition to such art
excess as to assume the title .of EMP ERoTt, as it will
shew, that all the. devastation and 11,rrois of the
Revolution, incurred' in pursuit of the ph_antom
LIBERTY, has produced the most odious despotism; '
but itFrance can overlook the enormities of which
BONAPARTE has been guilty in his military career,
even by the most wanton sacrifice of his own troops
in ,battle, and by poison, it is !lot' probable that
Frenchmen will be offended by the assumption of
theslmperial name, in additiim to his enjoyment oflmperial power :on the contrary, they likely
to be dazzled by the grandeur of the new dignity,
and to worship', with increased idolatry, the Ty.
rant who enslaves them.

It-is said, that the French Government has signi.
fled to the Courts of Munich and Stutga«i, that
they have no occasion for an accredited Minister
from the Court of Great Britain in futre.

The rage. of Duelling has descended' even to
Schoolblys : a short time since, on a trivial dispute
happening at one of our public schools, between a
son of Sir. JoHN RAMSDEN, Bart. and another of
RICHARD DAVOON, Esq. of Ireland, a challenge
ensued, and the young combatants met with 'pistols,
loaded with swan shot, to decide this affair of ju!ve-
?rile honour, in the presence of more 'than twenty of
their school-fellows: for.tonately only a shot or t WQ
were. lodged in the,skin of the challenging Duellist.

of the parties.'

Yes'kerday nitining, between the hours of one
and two o'clock, the house. of Isaac- VNlaroe‘r,
at Peckham-lone,, New Cross, was.broketi into, and
robbed of plate, of consiAerahle value.
On Monday, as sosne of the waken tilg Iron
Foundry, in St. George's, Norwich, were anwsing
themselves by pouring a small quantify of Lot me-
tal into an iron pot ..of water, in order to produce
minute particles, °too great a portion fell into the
water, which forming a-shell like a bomb, burst the
pot with such violence as to knock four Men sense.
less upon the floor—a fifth had his leg broke, and a
splinter .was driven seven inches into a large beam
in the cieling.. The weight of the rot was 2 CWI•

On Friday evening, a battle was fought between
Craggy, a waterman, and Robins, a ship-carpenter,
iu a field at Poplar, for a wager of two guineas ;.
a •,I af!er an 'hour and five minutes hard fighting,
the fortner was declared yiaor; they were both
carried off the field ; _Rubins with two of his ribs
broken.

On three sides may be Observed what was once a
deep moat ; and on. the western. end of the south
front, are three half bastions projeaing from the
Wall, of oaangular form, each side measuring about
ten feet .1. the whole is in circuit more than a mile,
and where' the walls are most perfel, may be twelve
feet thick at the bottom, and eight or nine at top ;
reaching to the height of twenty-four feet. It is
impossible not to notice the pleasing and singular
appearance of the ruins, in some places broken,
mouldering, and melancholy ; in others agreeably
diversified by a variety of foliage : trees and ivy
adorn the ruins, and contribute to awaken sensa."
tions of departed magnificence, now only known
from the silent records, with which the place. nu-
merously
abounds.
There is no doubt but Agricola resided here for
some time ; and Tacitus's ,assertion of his endea-
vouring to soften the ferocious manners of the Bri-
tons, by introducing refinements and specimens of
the arts, seems realii,ed by the tessellated pavements
which, when originally discovered in 1777, must
have been beautiful incited.
