THE CHANCES.

AN EXCELLENT NII‘V BALLAD ;
Very proper tp lie run- al Hall, Yard, and Field

VU swear there's no plot, and I'll tell you the reason;
No eottspiraey settled, no organized treason;
No serious affray;---only riot in fun,
Despite of the (3ountElt, the POST, and the SUN.

It began unawares, by a strange sudden chance,
As the grand ItevoInt101) first happened in France;
And the Mob—l beg pardon—the Citisens—eaule
fly chance to Spa-fields for the chance- of a name..

•
The Waggnn 1 y chance was at baud for the train,
The flatiners by chance were At Chancery-bine ;
And the Ribbons by chairre rather awlswartily ,got
Themselves iutu the chance of a tri--eoloureti knot.

The Chairouts, who happened to he Mister PaystoN,
11Ierely happened to promise to carry the rest on;
So into the waiter) he happened to pop,
Which made at Spa-ticids just a chance of a stop.

h is comrades, by chance unaccountably guided,
With sabres and muskets by chance were provided;
And by chance where there chanced to be weapons in store,
They chanced all the gunsmiths to plunder La more..

Wherever these patriots happepre4 to stop, •
Sonitirkance wits quite certain to empty the shop;
The pistols otliciously jumped from the shelves,
And thu gives very kindly went oil of themselves.

But ainck! well-a-day l—ere the chance was mature,
They chanced rather rashly to think it cock.sure;
And one rapid Beformer hat laid it all flat,
By the hasty chance-medley that shot Mr. PLATt.

Then Orator Hurry, who had happened to call
The Meeting that day for no mischief at all,
Just happened to take a short airing at random,,
And happened to di ive. to Spa-tieltr in his tandem.

And oh! how he happened to wonder and stare
At the happenings that happened before he got there !
Quoth the Orator--" nothing can trouble me now,
" kor I happen to shew myself after the Row."

'Twat odd to 'be sore—bat odd things will ocour,-.-
That Shittiehl should .herppen with London to stir,
And ion ull the chances of happining to fail,
Without happening to wait for the News by the Mail.

Thou,,b there happen to be such placards on each wall;
Thoogifeorumittees should happen such Meetings to call;
Though Orator H NT- correspond, with young WATsomi,
Yet these are no hinges to fasten )our plots on.

„ The Meeting was fixed for the bright hour of noon ;
And the one was too late, and the of too soon;
Solittwreo them, itwas.cleared of the cionce of the plot,
.11y him who was,in it, and him who was nut.

Lora love you!—'teas dance7—uyou honour, no more;
Thtiugh it chanced to Le settled a tortnight•before;
And whoever suspects the least bit' of a bellenie,
Father Cnatiert shall prove his suspicion a dream.

No, no—there's no plot; —and the C4ropicte inan
tiamitewit that 11r/.opt is the whole of the
Then if we should happen to imitate France,
The Design is Reform, and Rebellion the Chance.

BISHOP OF LICHFIELD'S CIRCULAR LETTER

to THE CLERGY OF STAFFORDSHIEN.

_ .
ECeleshall Castle, September, 1816.
REV. tt,—The unexamr.led distress which at present pre-
vails in various parts of the County of Stafford, inductd the
Nlazistrates to procure a Meeting of the' inhabitants at Staf-
ford, on Monday, the 16th of this month, when a very liberal
Subscription commenced in behalf of the sufferers.
I have been desired to communicate this circumstance to
the officiating Ministers_ of the Churches in the County of
Stafford, in order that 'they may recommend the adoption of
this object of Charity to their pal ishioners; and. I beg leave
to add my must earliest wishes for the success of the mea-
sure, with a confident hope, that it will receive your support
and assistance in the forwarding of donations or collections
in your parish ; lint in such a manner that the feelings of these
persons, if possihie, may not be hurt, to whom, iu this time
of extensive distresS, it may not be convenient to contribute
at all;
.or to contribute so-nitteb as might be expected from
them, in 'respect of their rank in society.
I Rev. Si reyour obedient Servant,
I. LICHFIELD and COVENTRY.

THE ESCAPE MOM GAOL.

In our last we gave the particulars of the escape
of seven felons from the gaol of this city, and the
re-capture of two of them. On Tuesday 1.14 t,
O'Neill, another of the pi isoners, was taken at
Black wood,near Dumfries, and brought back again
to his old (platers. A bundle was finind in his pus.
-session, containing 5 fine shirts awl 2 shifts, which'
had been siolen,-since his escape, at Dumfries; tie
also stole a pair of blankets, :which. lie sok for 3s.
When the prisoners got out of g;rol, O'Neill and
Green ran into collyer's•lane, and got into a pig-
'stye there ; Gr'ren buried himself iii the straw,
and O'Neill took off his coat and hung it across
:the stye, so that if any now looked in, they could
Hot tie seen. An Old man, a shoemaker in liot-
cliergate, went in twice while they were there,
without seeing them ; the olir loan went in a
third time and ()'Neill spuite to him. Being
alarmed they left this retreat ; went
through Edward Irwiti's lane, with his eoat off and
his hat under his arm as though somettliog were
In it, und Green ran through the gardens: They
went (Pier the Brilad•Meadotl s till they eliatis,r to
the river Ei!en, when they str.pned off
,their
clothes, tied them in a bundle across their breasts,
and' swam *the river ; they then took shelter in a
plantation till dark, an tinder cover of the night
returned towards Carlisle, having appointed to
meet two wnipen on the road, who .were in the
secret ; O'Neill afterwat di met these, women,
and one of them t!are him a grey cloak and
a 'black bonnet, which he pot tit. They after-
wards met Al`Hanuali, who said lie was going
for Ireland. Green, his wife, and
went on to Dumfries, where the ,former changed
his dressand made a very snvart appearance. litre
they separated, and O'Neill went to the !Poise of
a person named Hamilton, where. lie was. appre-
hended bed, Ots Tuesday 'mailing oboes' six
o'clock by Glendinning, the 'smith to the gaol.
Green went on for the purpose of taking- ship.
ping for America. This. escape was meditated
some time, • and several persons are implivitied' in
it. The wives of Hamilton and M-"llaiinith have
both beeu committed ; the latter cArtioi chlssels
into the gaol ; one in the middle of a pliddiog ;
the former has assitted in various ways. Two
chissels have been found concealed in the felons'
cell„; also et saw and a file were discovered by Dr.
Heysham and Mr. J. Lowry; the saw was .hid in
a crevice, and the file was 'post ingeniously con-
cealed in a lode which bud been slopped up with
a piece of potatoe cut' to tit it, and greased over
with a candle,.

Yesterday an account was brought by the Gward
of the Liserpool',M4, that another of the eon-
viets, Little, who ,escaped from or gaol on the
instsint, has 1-sett• moil:en, and i 9 now in Lan-
easter Castle.---(Corlivle Patriot.)

Dear JUHNNY cannot let pass by,

For your poetic pretty Letter,
Which proves that yon have got a Horse
For bitter rather than for worse.

Should ANNE get up—to quit the stable,
If my advice you'd deign to take,
Ftrhaps fur*Harmony's sweet sake,
The, way would be, as Schoolboy's do,
Without great fuss or much ado,
When many Boxers are at one
Let ONE be down ere Vallee* on.

And my poetr verse be deemed too rude,

who presides in this Cou'rt 'rated, that he MCKIIt
immediately to appoint H General Receiver, who
should possess hini3elf of such effects, &c. as were
returned in the schedules of the dischargedln-

until this office wits establiAcd, And the elf Lets
so recorded given in.
Ile also begged to state, for the information of
the agents in'the Court, that a misconception 111,4
prevailed relative to two rules which he had made
six months. ago. One of these was for the prO
teetion of the creditor, and its intent was that no
money should be wild into Conn .wit4out tt pre-
vious expiess application for that purpose. The
second was, that no money should be tir3Wll out
of Court, without a similar application. When-
ever R petition and schedule were given in, which
state any sum of money in hands, be it large or
small, let it in future be understood, that such
sum Must be paid into the hands of the Receiver
in the outset of the proceedings.
The Court sat from nine o'clock until after four,
and went through a considerable portion of the

EAST INDIA INTELLIGENCE,

•
Madras Couriers to the middle of Anacoust last
reached ns yesterday, and sliew that a desultory
warfare is still carried on in India amongst the
restless Chiefs.
Intelligence from Jypoor has been received to
the 26th of June, by which it appears, that that
city still held wont, although Unteer Rhan conti-
nued to push the siege with great vigour. Ile had
been joined by a reinforcement of four thousand
troops, and haVing made every preparation for a
t,eneral assault, intended immediately to attempt
to c:u•ry the city by storm. It was expected that
the assault would be made the night after the ac-
counts cone.awev. The Rajah in the mean time
has called for assistance from the British
which application Umeer !Chan affects to treat
with indifference, and says it shall not' deter• him
from the accomplislunent of his purpose.--In so
far as the British aye concerned all is peace and
tranquillity.
The following are all the extracts we haVe toot
for to-day
MADRAS, AUG. 7.—The arrival of the'Cbarles

Wednesday last, has put us in possesSion of a file
Of the Java Gazette. The most interesting article
of intelligence received by this ship is the arrival
of his Excellency the Right lion. Lord. Amherst
and his suite at that Island, on their passage to
China. Ills! Lordship, it appears, had taken up
his residence with. Sir William Grant Keir, Com-
mander of tbe.Forees.,-during-his *fay-at-Batavia.
It does not appear that any, orders had arrived
from the Right Hon. the Governor-General in
