'lhere is fo much good nature in the following
paragraph that we cannot refrain from inferting
it. We aifure our brother Editor, howek,er, that
the fael is as we have Rated : the terms of the De-
finitive Treaty, fo far as relates to this country
and France, were completely agreed upon more
than a week before we announced it ; but Spain
and Holland move more !lowly :

Definitive Treaty.—" Again a great number of I
people were antufed yeaerday by the accounts given ,
in the Star of Monday, " that the Terms of the-Dffi-
nitive Treaty between this Country and France were
at lergtb Pally agreed upon and concluded ;" and
placing confidence that its confirmation would be
received by yellerday's poll, the ftreets to the en-
trance of the town on the Coventry road were
lined at an early hour,and continued to irt•creafe till
after twelve at noon, when they were completely
Uiftppointed by the 4rrival of the mail coach with-
out either flag or other teftimonial of bridging the
withed fur glad tidings. The London papers, how-
ever, are Rill big with expeslation, and give us a
number of pr.found reatons to prove that it Jill/
mull comefoon. The public, however, have not for-
got with what fagacity the "leading prints" prog-
nofticated the r ptureofthe preliminarynegociation.
even on the very day the treaty was tip ed. And
being (like the liifhman) " behind before ;" they
teem &retrained to be " tint at latt," Some of
Lord Coati WA LLI esi honks are returned; and from
this it is inferred that the hornier. is thawing to a
clore. Perhaps it is foe Whether the he.. rfes have
be-:n confulted upon the biiiinels or nnt, we are
not informed; but as to any real knowledge of the
actual ltate of the negotiation, we are frt:e to con-
fers that we believe the faid horfes are as deep in
the fecret as the moft fagacious editor opus •

barracks, in prefence of fevetal Officers, touched
the barrier, ran down the hill, jumped into the
boat, croffed the paffage again, and returned to
Clarence-theet, in forty minutes, apparently with-
out fatigue. The diftance is, exclufive of the pail

and two miles and a half back to Clarence-that.

On Saturday evening bill, at a quarter before
eight o'clock, a Welchman, who is an attendant
Waterman of the nand of coaches in St. Paul's
church-yard,ftarted, for a conEderable wager, from
the gate oppofite to Ludgate-hill, to run IS times
from thence round the iron railing, in the fpace of
an hour. He performed it Eve minutes within the
time, and was triumphantly led off to the Spotted
Dog, where he was to receive tompitea, in cafe of
Performing the arduous talk he had undertaken.
A eery curious incident Is mentioned in a Coun-
try Paper, as having certainly occurred in the
neighbourhood of Clallsmore, county Waterford,
only a few days ago :—A countryman had taken
fo extraordinary a fancy to a young girl, who
lived at tome ditiance from him, and not meeting
with proper encouragement in the ufual way of
addreffing her, he refolved to carry her off, and
marry her by force; and for this pnrpofe engaged
a number of fellows to affift him, on an appointed
night.—The girl's brother having been informed
of this plot by a perfon in the fecret, drelled him-
felf up in his fuller's cloaths, and pretended to he
very bufy in fmoothing linen when the ravilhers
approached ; they burg open the door, and placed
the fuppofed &mid behind her intended fpoufe,
who inftantly galloppcd off to his houfe, where he
coal:a:led her to the care of his notiper and Rim, de-
filing them to be very Lind to her, and to keep
her in bed until he went for a clergyman.—By the
rudenefs of their gar', however, the fecret of his
fez was alnioft immediately betrayed; and the
whole terminated in a hearty laugh at the expeuce
of the amorous Knight Errant.
A very melancholy accident happened at Sea-
ton iron works, near V4'cit kington, on Monday
evening the tft inftant. Three perions were found
fuffoezted in bed, in a chamber contiguous to the
1.441-furnace, which had been blown in only a lhort
time before. Even y effort was employed to regime
,nintation, which, with difficulty, was etleaed
with regard to one of the fufterers ; but, unfor-
itt.'.ttly, the two others (a young man about 18,
ho' ..11..ut tem years of age) were pail re.
