At a respectable meeting of bankers, merchants,
and principal inhabitants of Hal On ?abodes', .-
Petition against the cortinutnee of the Income Ta
was agreed upon, to be ptnented to Parliament b.
the Members for that town, who were to be instrice
to support the same.
Thursdt y eveiliug, the following affair occurred ..
an inn in Vinelwich s—An Officer in his Majesty',
2Z.tvy trade an assignation with a young Lady be•
ioneing to a mpectebie family tc meet her at
inn. Instead of the young Lady, howlve-, het: br
Cher attended, produced a brace of p;steis, and d:.
manded satisfaction of tie Odicer for endeavoerin
to seduce his sister. The Naval Hero, to pacify :!
enraged brother, promised marriage.
Another version of the row at Rouen has !yacht:.
ji which ought tQ be made known. The .anzlit
gentlemen consisted of the mate of a trading ve:.sel, at
e.-reit of equal respectability. In a state of intoxica•
tion they attended the Cathedral during high MAI' on
Chtistmas eve, and indulged in the most ofiensiv,..•
mockery. Ma worshippers of coutso were scanda.
lized, and insisted en their withdrawing, and a 'seta:
ensued atter the service. We have reason to believ•
that the character of England has suffered mute
from the very improper cundoct of some low rn .
proflieate persons, who have made their way to i. 1.•
Continent, and h.tve been guilty of impositions arei
excesses of every kind. Our informant adds, that
far from there being any indisposition manifestedre
wards the EngliAt in Rouen, nothing can surpass tle
attention and politeness which are shevert to all the,
who conduct themselves with decorum. Indeed
no part of France is there a more lively sentiment
regard for England than in Notmaudy, the charact
and habits of the people assimilating more to t.
Etlgllsh than those of any osher,partof Fraitsp• .. •Tt
is truly mortifying to hear Of aid low 41s0 vulgar ;i-
-dicule which our illiteiati ind prejudiced traveMel,:
throw on. every thing which, by hting mite to then
they affect tir despise; and it may easily be conceive,i
that their insolence and ill-Manners must at timt;s e
cite dirgnst. It is only, however, when they scoff
the solemn ceremonies of elikien,' that they have pr
veked the indtnation even of the populace.
Tats.--This morning, between siz• and scot.
o'clock, a fire broke nut in the house ady ink
Messrs. Deeeeti and Co. Opticians, Saint rani
Church-yard, which, unfortunately communicant
with the adjoining premise, leading to Cheis.,.c.
were wholly consumed, and also some part of Mes‘►
Doland and Co.'s, A considerable degree of alert
was excited for the safety of the valuable propert •
belonging to the Booksellers situated behind, in l'
rerooster-row; but very providentially, by the prone.
exertions of the firemen, who seem' instantly supplis.
with water, its ravages were confined to the premiss::
already mentioned.
