The sloop Friends, DUNKINSON master, of and from
Alloa to Sandwich, ran on shore near Rings ate,
about 9 o'clock on the evening of Friday sennTlit,
having mistaken the North Foreland light, for a light

tracts for ship timber, to be brought from- Nova

A ship is arrived from Carolina, which she left

telligcncc she brings is, that the Government of the
United States have enacted, that no execution for
debt shall be levied upon any one, even though upon

The necessity of this measure has been occasioned by
the pecuniary embarrassments consequent upon the
embargo.

of absence, proiided himself with a horsewhip, and

wrested it from him, broke it, and beat him with the
fragments.

FASHIONABLE PROMENADE.—Yesterday the weather
was fine, but a cool air prevented the Sunday fashio-
nables from exposing light and elegant costume. -
Comfortable pelisses were the dress of the. day. Dust
greatly annoyed the promenade, consequently the
verchnt carpet of Kensington Gardens became the
favourite resort. In this charming spot the Ladies'
found a pleasing. reti eat, and every face appeared
animated by satisfaction. Among the riders, cattle
of every description were sported, from the high- •
boned Rozinanie to the Arabian. Many persons of
distinction were seen in their carriages. Lord HAWKE.
and other Men bets of the Whip Club, displayed their
driving dexterity to admiration.
