There is a strange rumour in the City, that the
Louisiana purchase of France will he negotiated in
England. For the present we shall only' add, that
Ministers ought to inquire into this business.

There was yesterday a report in the City, that 1
during BON Ar ART.E's last residence at Boulogne, he
superintended an embarkation, as an essay and an nz-
ercise of his troops. During this trial, he rode on a
spirited charger which he spurred along the beach,
and it was at times up to the' girth in the water..
In the course of the -bustle •and confusion of this
his horse got scene,entangled by the cable of one of.
the gun-boats, and threw the Chief Consul into the
sea, from which he was dragged by his attendants.
-We mention this anecdote only because we have seen
it recorded among the various omens whith have oc-
curred to him as auspicious to the Expedition 1 The
rest of the report is of more consequente : It is said
that whole regiment refused to embark ; and that
forty of them were singled out and shot on thespot.
We mention this as the tumour of the Exchange
yesterday; we cannot state it from authority.

Txt publicity of Mrs. LEIGH, and the extract-
dinar; proCeedings of the Goitiooxs, has procured
her another violent lover. During last week a young,
man of a very Gentleman-like appearance, made a
number of applications at her,house, in Bolton-row,
to see her, and likel:vTe -Sent a number -of-
ters. On Saturday, tiv perseverance, he obtained the
obj eft of his desire, but Mrs. LEIGH soon discovering
she had not any kuo,„cledoe of him, and that h:.s busi-
ness was only to express his admiration of her" Pet-
son, &c. he was shewn the door., On Sunda) '
ne
continued to be extremely troublesome at her hous
which induced Mrs. LE I Gra to inform Mr. PARKINS,
her Solicitor, of the circumstance, and he having
left hts`card of address at the Castle and Yalcon, in
Aldersgate- street, Mr. P4tuctrts applied yesterday
morning at the Public-Office, Bow.streer, when Sic
J~rcHALD 170/I,D dispatched Atkins, the Officer, to
apprehend him. Oa the Of arrival at the inn
he was shewn into his room, when the Officer in-
formed him he waited upon him from Mrs. LEIGH,,
who wished to see him as soon as possible, which
induced him to accompany him with all possible
speed. On his arrival at the Office he appeared ex-
tremely impatient to see Mrs. LEIGH; but on his
being informed she would be there in a short time,
he appeared a little appeased. On Mrs. LEIGH and
Mr. Pikartirs being informed he was in custody,
and neither of them appearing, he was discharged.
It appeared tpat he had lodged at the Castle and
Falcon about ten days ; his name is Wm. UND
WOOD, and Ile resides at the North Corner of Ply.
mouth-Dock. While he was at breakfast on Satut..
day morning, and tead,ng Mrs. LF.teH's evidence
