them. Including his Unfortunate wife, the cele-
brated beauty of I
Buttermere, he had paid ferions
addreres to four women at the fame time, one of
rank and fortune, and three of humble life. On
the morning of his firft departure from:Ka-wick
for Scotland, and of his marriage at Lorton
Chinch, he tranfmitted to the Gentleman, under'
whole protection the young lady at prefent is, a'
drill for 301. on Mr. Crump, of Liverpool, re-
quelling him to pay fome fmall debts in Kefwick,
and return him the Wince. This the Gentleman
immediately did, and fent him betides ten gui-

days the Gentleman received a letter (from Dum-
fries, we believe, ancrfiwaial, of courfe) informing
him of the marriage. In this letter, the pretended

within the time, which he had promifed on his de- ,
par tare. And accordingly, he did retort' to But-
termere, in a coach and lour, at the beginning of
this week. ,At this time, Mr. Judge *Ming,
who happened to be here, hearing -that Colonel
Hope was at Buttermere, old fo romantically mar;
