The Lisbon Papers received this morning, contain an
account of a horrible and mysterious murder, committed at Oporto.
—On the 15th alt. a barrel was found in an obscure street, which
contained the body of a man in a complete state of dissolution, with
his clothes on, and covered with salt. There was a handker-
ckief in his pocket, and two hundred piece of silver coin
in a purse; the skull was fractured, and the bead had bees
separated from the body by a sharp instrument. A merchant,
his clerk, and porter, who are suspected of being concerned in this
horrible affair, absconded as soon as the examination into it com-
menced; but means were taken to endeavour to arrest them, and
prevent their escaping from the Kingdom.
Mr. Holm's, one of the most daring riders of the
Ashburn Hunt, broke his thigh in taking a six feet rivulet leap,

injured that he was killed.
