It seems that being at Bath last winter, for the com-
pletion of their education, having lately lost their
mother, they were closely beset by two young sons of
Hats: and, to avert the threatened danger, were sent
to the house of their aunt, Mrs. A. who is separated
from her husband, and resides in the neighbourhood
of Stafford. Here, as it was more than suspected an
attempt would be made to carry them off, they were
accompanied by tu tru.ty female servants; but all
the eyes of Argus were wanting; for, watching an
opportunity, they got out of the drawing-room win-
dow, and ran for two miles,into the turnpike-road,
*here a coach and four, with their happy swains,
awaited their arrival. Their aunt followed them as
soon as she mild procure four post-horses, but was
obliged to relinquish the pursuit on her arrival at
Newcastle, the lovers having got two hours a-head of
her, on then road to Gretna Green. The parties are
safe returned, properly linked in the bands of wedlock.
