ANOTHER IMPROMPTU.—On Monday even-
ing last, at half-past nine o'clock, RICHARD RIPON, driver
of a hackney chariot, was called from the stand in South-
ampton-row, Bloomsbury,
to go to a doctor's shop in
Great Russell-street, for the purpose of taking up a fare.
On his arrival he found two gentlemen and a woman in
the shop( they requested him to drive her to Bell street,
Edgware-road, and gave him four shillings, at the same
time pressing him to hasten there as fast as he possibly
could, as she was in a pregnant state. Lie proceeded on
his journey, and on the road she screamed out, and put her
head through the front window of the coach; he thought
as no one was with her that she was tipsy, and took no
not• drunk, ask the coachman," who in
notice; in a few minutes after all was quiet. On his ar-
rival in Bell-street, the husband and sister-in-law of the
asmaid he had brought her from a doctor's shop.
woman were at the doer, when the husband exclaimed,
What, BET, you have come home drunk, as usual ;" she
erTexhielliaehnltb:oa‘tnlsd on hearing this, said, "BET, you had better
jump upon my back, and I will carry you up stairs." ShC
said she would prefer her sister-in-law to go up with her,
who immediately replied, " I shall not go up with you,

. The coachman
in the fa
askedfamily-way; hes.ir sheerin
replied, " No ; she has been that way these two years,
and •that it was only the dropsy." The coachman then
went to the stand in Great Quebec-street, and on opening
the door to pull up the glasses, he discovered-the body of a
child lying on the straw; lie then called to RICHARD
Winmorr, another coachman, who said We had better
send fur a doctor, and accordingly sent to Mr. JAcOmn, of
Upper York-street, who instantly attended, and on viewing
the body, ordered him to return to Bell-street with him.
On their arrival the husband and sister both denied that
she had been in the family-way, they both then looked into
the carriage, and exclaimed, " Oh! it is true enough;"
in walition the husband exclaimed, Aye, this can't be the
first time; she has been so many times, and I have been often
laughed at fur it, and said it has been a dropsy.. They
then took the child from the coach, wrapped it up in a
cloth, and said they would put it away. Mr. Jaco3ta
finding the child to be dead, thought it prudent to take it
to Marylebone Infirmary, where it was opened in the
presence of Mr. GOODYEARS and other medical gentlemen,
whose opinion was, that the child was not horn alive.—
The woman remains in a very bad state at her lodgings, in
Bell-street.

FRENCH PAPERS.

(From the. Gazette de France, dated July 17.)
ODESSA, JUNE 24.—Our army is in full march
against the capital of the Ottoman empire, and we
shall soon learn some event which will be decisive
to the duration of the present campaign, for it does
not appear that the Sultan is disposed to profit by
the declaration of our august Monarch, and to send
deputies to treat at the Russian head-quarters.
The Turkish policy will, on the contrary, persist
in the way which it has laid down for itself, and
gather together all the means it can command to
repel force by force.
The Grand Vizier, as in preceding wars, is going
to Shouinla to wait for the Russians and to give
them battle,—a plan which has hitherto always served
•to hinder the Russians from advancing to the other
side of the Balkan to approach Constantinople ; bat
the Turkish tactics would act on an uncommon
basis if all the hopes entertained at. Censtantinople
are centred in the position of Shoumla, which of
undoubtedly, very important, and an opportunity
will soon come to convince people, that in tnilitari
operations different roads lead to the same object;
and that our Monarch may very probably have
adopted a plan for the campaign different from that
of his predecessors. The arrival of his Majesty,
with the vanguard, at Kiustenza, proves, that the
main body of the army will proceed along the coast,
and will pass the chain of mountains at Varna, to
penetrate into the plain of Adrianople, and to co'
operate with the corps under the command of Gene,
ral Roth, coming from the Upper Danube, with
which it will act against ConEtantinople.—Augsbut,o
Gazette.
PARIS, JULY 16.—The Minister of Foreign Af'
fairs, and the Russian Ambassador, sent despatche
the day before yesterday for the Ambassador'
assembled at Corfu.

The Journal du Commerce says," The Trident,

the arrival of which at Toulon we have already mew
tioned, is said to have brought word that the Sultan
accepts the mediation of France and England, and
that an envoy from the Porte has set out for Corfu'
on board a Turkish corvette, escorted by the Pali'
nore French frigate."
On the 13th June, when the Trident leftNavariof
Sir Edward Codrington had just had an interviS
with Ibrahim.

The plague prevailed in several, parts of the'
Levant; it was even felt on board a Russian vesie',
at Malta. M. Garneray,, who was sent to Navari°
to make a painting of the battle, has returned (3°
board the Trident, with his picture, which he finished
on the spot. ..

Jackson. The circumstances and scene whiph lit

eye, at a moment when such zealons exertion 9 eft
daily made to elevate the assailant to the big

of revenge, could thus meditate the destructilpis
