ELI:11.11)m v.—Yeßerday morning about eight
o'clock, the daughter of Lord a very accom-
plithed young Lady, eloped from herfather's country
feat with her brother's tutor. The difcovery did
not take place until three hours after the parties had
decamped. Lord immediately after fet off poll
in fearch of the fugitives, who were eafily traced,
from the circumflance of the lovers having engaged
all the poll-bodes between the place from whence
they let out and London. His Lordfhip traced them
as far as Whitechapel, where he 101 l the clue; but
every precaution, Inch as fearching the mail-coaches,
and Rationing proper people to watch on the great
Northern Road, have been retorted to. The Lady
'will fhortly become podded of a very confiderahle
fortune.

MlDDinir Ezzcvlow.—Yefterday the Court slut
as ufual, and after examining two witneffes, the cafe
clofed on the part of the Petitioners, who complain-
ed of having been disfranchifed, in confequence of
Sheriff Shawe refuting to inveftigate the legality of
their votes, after the clofs of the poll. on the fifteenth
day.
Mr. ADAM, in a fpeecb of confiderable length, ram-
med up the evidence, contending that the allegations
in the petition were perfealy fubliandated, and con-
fequently that the votes tendered in favour of Sir
Francis Burdett ought to be added to the poll.
Mr. Miz:,s opened the defence of the Sheriffs. He
infifted that they had no power whatever to prolong
the poll beyond the ufual hour on the tsth day. If
any of the voters had been 'disfranobifed by the re-
jeaion of their votes, it was to be attributed to their
own lade: and negligence in bot coming fdrward
fooner. He alfo argued, that Mr. Sheriff Shawd had
not given any affurance that, if the Electors %would
wait, their titles fhould be enquired into before the
v.stes were cat up.—Adjourned.
A letter from Corfu, dated December 27, fays.
" It may be recollated that in September 18oz, the
Mentor, an Englith brig, was funk in 13 fathom
water, at the entrance of the port of Cerigo, the an-
cient Cytherea.. This velfel had ten cafes of antique
marble Ratues, &c. on board, fome of them attri-
buted to Phidias; and, among them, the marble feat
of the Prytenee of Athens, all of which are now filb-
ed up. Deetor Cacuccr, the Britifis Vice Conful at
Cerigo, was charged with this undertaking by Lord
ELGIN; and, after a (cries of trials, durin4 two years, 1
has fucceeded in the recovery of this ineflussable !Iva-
fore ; but not without bemg indebted to the addrefs
and intrepidity of the famous fwimmers of Calimno,
amended with an enormous expence."
The following is an extraa of a letter from Bom-
bay, dated June 7 s—" While cruizing on the Ma-
labar Coati, in his Majeßy's Chip Fontana),
commanded by Capt. BINGHAM. we took a chaffee-
maree, wills two fix.pound guns, and lie two-pound
(wivels. We Ora difcovered her from the MA head
at day-light in the morning, and chaced her till about
ten, when being within about three miles of her, and
the wind dying away, we taw her get out her (weeps.
We bad unfortunately fome time before loft our
launch, but our Captain immediately fent the barge
and fix oared cutter in chace, with 24 men, which
proved to be exaaly the fame number as were on
board the French veffel. She got her guns on one
fide, 'and, fired them and mufquetry at us at leaft
fifteen times. Our fellows, however, rowed up in
the face of it, boarded her (word in hand, exadtly
at twelve o'clock; and carried her in five minutes.
—lt is fcarcely credible. but it is an aaual
that the fiat and fecznd ` French Captains were
(hot through their bodies, and, appearing dead,
were thrown overboard; but they were after-
wards picked up again, and. have fine recovered, as
have alfo 'three other Fretichmen, who were bad-
ly wounded. Paovizivaca titotelted us, for we
had only one man 'nightly cut acrofs the hand.—
Sbe was in all refpeas a fmall 'man of war, and
had been fitted for the purpofe of 'landing three
French officers, to endeavour to flir up the Mahrat-
ta Chieftains to war. They had been put on chore
before we fell in with the vac!, and the was on her
return with difpntchcs, which were thrown overboard
as we were rowing toward her."
