EARL OF MOUNT NORRIS'S LETTER,
RESPECTING SIR JOHN CARR'S LATE ACTION.

Tin

TO THE EDITOR. OF THE STAR.-
.
the Report of an Action brought by. Sir
Join./ CARR against Hoot and SHARPE for a Libel,
which appeared in the British Press of the 26th inst.
I am grossly misrepresented as having given evidenc
in favottr bf the Defendants, when attended solely
and conscientiously on behalf of Sir Joini CARR.
For the purpose of effacing .To foul an aspersion
upon my honour and my judgment, I beg through
the medium of your Paper, to state that I never did
say that I thought the work which formed the ground
of the Actiou fair ciiticism, that I never spoke
.disre
spectfully of Sir JOHN CARR'S literary produgptions,
or asserted that the Caricature Prints contkined in
the work complained of, were sanctioned by fair and •
just criticism. (signed) I.IOI.JICI' NORRIS.
Warfial Grove, July 31, 1808. -

The vessels that were warned -6IT from the Prussian
ports, have since delivered their cargoes in Russia'
with the exception of British manufactures, which are
still prohibited. ; •

A severe action lately took place . on- the coast of
Danmark, between the EXERTION gun-brig and ,some
Danish row-boats. The Exalt-not: had got on shore
and while endeavouring to work Or, was beset by ti'e
row-boats. Her efforts were at last successful, but
we are sorry to add that she had in the action eight
killed and several wounded. The EIERTION mounts
12 guns.
A Tailor having entered into "a Matrimonial En.
gagement with the Widow of a Publican, was conger.
tulated by a Theatrical friend upon the happy mode itt
which he had illastratsd Measure for Al— eature.
An evening paper observes, that the Spanish Pa-
triots would wish to have an auxiliary force comman-
ded by a Priace.Query, would they not rather have
a Gesersi
WedneSday se'nnight, a thunderbolt broke on a
large ash tree, near Old MonklAnd Church. The
effects are very striking and worthy of attention. The
heart of toe tree .was considerably burnt, but the bark
stood straight up. A farmer's life in th iii. to
neighbourhood at the time, felt a strong glow of beat,
and was almost stupifiecl.
