The Patrice, attended By Bart:ln-Eats and Baron
Ltansart, rode ye terday for feveral hours. His
Royal Highnefs, as ulna!, entertained a felea circle
of Nobility laft night, at the Pavilion; which party,
about eleven o'clock, was augmented by the arrival
of the Duke of Rarer. The Duke of Kiwi, Barons
East. and 1411411 SELL, Lord and Lady Matiourrav,
Count BIAVIOLOI3, ac. &c. were on the Steyne to-
day, at an early part of the morning. The Prince
alfo honoured the walk with his prefence for a thort
time before dinner. The Duke and Duchefs of MARL-
BOROUGH and Family left this place for London yef-
terday. Many here have caufe to regret their depar-
ture. The Blocking affair at Friar's Oak, Which we
noticed in a former article, is fully confirmed. The
woman, about thirty years of age, icon the eftablith-
ment of the Duke of BIAUTOILT, and had left Rot •
tingdean, with others of his Grace's domeftics, in
one of his Grace's carriages, about two hours before
they reached the Inn, where the dreadful bufinefs was
tranfaaed. The woman yet continues at the Inn,
and in fuch a hate of mental and bodily angnifh, as,
it is fuppofed, will thortly occafion her diffolution.—
A Q2arter-mafter of the Firit Regiment of Dragoon
Guards, of the name, we hear, of Courtnay, left
Shoreham in the night of Monday Taft, to return to
Worthing. Soon after he had croffed Old Shoreham
Bridge, the night being excetively dark, by tome
means or other the horfe got into the fwamps to the
left, where, it is imagined, his rider was thrown off,
and prefently fuffocated. Neither were found until
near five o'clock in the afternoon of the next day,
both being fu completely buried in the mud, that the
nofe of the horfe only was vifible, which, however,
enabled him to refpire, and by that means to preferve
his life. The man, on being taken up, was fuppofed
to have been dead many hours. His remains were
interred in the church-yard at Shoreham, on Thurf-
day. The horfe is living, and trill fit for ferrite.

Monday fe'nnight,Thomas Pinn,acarpenter,of
Sid-
mouth, engaged, for a wager of five guineas. to run
from that place to the Cattle-yard, its Exeter,and back
again, in five hours, a diftance of 3z miles, over a
hilly country. He tinted precifely at fie o'clock in
the morning, and arrived at the Cattle Gate, in Exe-
ter, ten minutes before eight, performing the firft
miles in one hour and fifty minutes, and returned
again to Sidmouth three quarters of as hour within
the time allowed.
On Monday fe'nnight, as a waggon belonging
to Mr. Mullen., brewer, of Bafingftoke, was going
with a load of vetches, towards Newbury, Jeremiah
Meffenger. and Amelia his wife, fitting on the top,
together with the waggoner; he very imprudently
left the care of the horfis to a boy who rode on the
thefts, when the horfes becoming above the guidance
of the boy, plunged into a pond at Wolverton, and
the waggon was overfet. The man and woman
falling under the load, were killed on the fpot : the
waggoner received very little injury. By this acci-
dent fix children were rendered orphans.
The Copper-works of Mr. WILLIAMS, at Wyrar-
difbury, having during the lag two or three years,
been robbed of copper to the amount of near soool.we
have now the pleafure to Rate, that the whole of the
gang who committed thefe depredations have been
difcovered, through the information of one of their
accomplices. The circumftances which led to the
difcovery were as follow :--The gate-keeper at Coln-
brook turnpike having frequently Peen a cart pafs
through at unfeafonable hours, fufpetted all was not
right, and accordingly communicated his infpicions
to a neighbouring excifeman, who, procuring ME&
once, laid wait for the cart, as it was returning from
Wyrardilbury, fufpetting it to be employed an con-
veying paper from the mills, in order to evade the
duty. They had not waited long before the cart
came up, when the officer and his affiftants proceed-
ed to tearch it ; there were then three perfons with
it, two of whom immediately ran of ; but the
officer not finding what he furpetted, told the fel-
low who remained with the cart, to drive on, as
there was nothing in it that he wanted; but he
alto fhortly after ran off, leaving the cart at no great
diftance from where it was flopped ; this creating a
further fufpic ion, a more dole examination took place,
when it was found to contain near 8 cart of copper.
A reward of too guineas being offered for the ditto.
1r very of the offenders, David Daniels impeached hie
confederates, fevers.' of whom have been committed
to Aylefbury gaol, for trial at the next Lent affixes.
Daniels had formerly winked in the mills, but no
perfon at prefent engaged in them was concerned In
the robbery. Two refpeaable tradefaaen in London
are (aid to be implicated as receivers of the copper.
New Sem es or Swi NOUN° —Among the various
artifices to which the fertility of man's genius is di.
retied, in getting poffeffion of the property of another, ,
may be ranked the following fin.plar
tenant Colonel of Militia, who is poffeffed of a hand-
fume houfe, containing an elegant and valuable libra-
ry. worth teool. (the furniture of the houfe fuperb),
is in the habit of leaving his houfe fiir the fummer,
to go to a watering-place During his abfence, he
prefers letting the houfe (which is fituate in a fquare
not far from Holborn) to.firme man of fortune and
charatter, rather than having a fervent in it. This
prefent fummer, however, not fo readily finding a
tenant, he left direftions with his uphollterer to let
the houfe for him. The upholfterer prepared to put
his intentions in pratlice, and a Geatkmene apparently
walled to rent it for the fummer. He defcribed him.
fell as a barritter. and gave a reference to a rftetafik
Gemessaa in Great Ormond area. The upholsterer,
accordingly, went to the houfe, and finding from the
appearance of the perfon to whom he was referred
for a charaaer, the &gaits of the houfe and other eh,.
cumftances, that the Barrier was a man of fortune,
contented to let him the Colonel's houfe. According-
ly be took poffeffion—but had fcareely been in fix
days, when two or three executions were levied on
the goods and chattles ; the confequence was, that a
friend fent notice to the Colonel, who came to town
jolt in time to prevent them from being fold by auc
tion under diltretii. He advifed with his Solicitor,
who recommended him to fign a warrant of attorney;
to conk(' judgment againft his own goods! A con-
fiderable battle embed between• the Men' balding pogo
kftion and the Colonel's men, wantingta get in.t-a;
The latter, however, fuceeeded, and ouysithe °then:
Actions have .eommenced by the Berqkes cretatort
ogninft the Colonel. (who is .alnsadyoniesse soot, by
tbe,tranfaiftion), for the forcible °Or.
