road, between two fawyers of Norwich : the diftance
was one mile, which they ran in five minutes and a
half; but it was fo clofely contelled, that they came
in within half a pied of each other, when one of them
made a fpring, which decided the bet. They were
both greatly exhaufted by their exertions.
The Lord Provoll, Magiftrates, and Council of
Edinburgh have agreed to a Petition to be prefented
to the Houle of Commons, in name of the commu-
nity, praying for leave to bring in a bill to alter, ex-
tend, and amend the police of that city, and the dif-
bias in the immediate neighbourhood ; to extend
the royalty of the city over the lands of Bellevue
and others; to allow the Magillrates to make regu-
lations refpelling bread ; for regulating the weight
of coals, and fining carters impofing upon the lieges;
and for fevers' other purpofes of police and am-
provement.
In confequence of the late alarm rf ;ovation in the
'North. the Volunteers of Selkirk, which i. 36 miles
from Edinburgh, muttered at four o'clock in the
morning, and marched into Edinburgh in nine hours.

The firing which was heard here lately as proceed-

ELGIN cutter, Lieutenant Diceruson, which came.
itt yefterday afternoon, brings Intelligence of a faun
aftion which the Irsociserairrs and one or two more
dour fquadron bad with a flotilla of French gun
boats, as they were endeavouri ng to proceed along (bore
from Cape Grimes, in order to make their efcapc
into Boulogne, which by being under cover of their
batteries they efeited, notwithaandingthe exertions
of oar gallant feamen. The firing was kept up with
great fpitit by our rquadron ; but I am Corry to add,
!hit &marine was killed en board the IMMOILTAL'IrI;
and two Midthipmen, the Captain's Clerk, and kraal
of the men were wounded. The Sopa! an received
one &Ott and had two men wounded. No other
injury, I underhand, was fuftained on our fide.

Orders are gone down to Bath, from the Secretary
f
State's Offset, for the immediate removal of the
Trench Brigadier General Boy ea, and alfo that of his
friend, the Camel of Cavalry, to Lemke, in Stafford-
biro latter, in confequenee of an intimation
from the Mayor of that City, has put off his military
uniform, and Dow appears like M. Boras, in plain
eloaths.
A new French army, exclave of that which is
tow collated near Breit, and partly embarked, is
affenabled between Wasik and St. Brieuz.
According to letters from Paris, a courier from
Naples to the Imperial Court, brings intelligence,
that the French Government has very unexpeaedly
demanded of his &MUM Msraerr, the (offender
of three of his formai on the waft, as a proof of
his Snare neutrality. This requeft, however, after
holding a Council of State, has been refuted by the
liag,loot whatthe eanferinenees of this /ducal may
be, is eafily to he fuppoied. The Courier from Mi-
en, who brought this intelligence to Vienna, was
initnediately fent off again. We do not believe this
rumour.

A ktter from Philadelphia, ditted 9th January
tBo4. to a getitleman in Clafgow, fays
" The French bavingbeen driven oat of St. Do-
mingo, and the Americans having taken poffeffion
of New Orleans and Louifiana' will create a demand'
yearly enereafutg, for Britilh mannfailures. The
trade to America has been free and open to all na-
tions for theft 22 'years bre pan, jet the manufac-
tured goods imported from all other coontties, ai
appears by the annual flatensent of imports and els
ports laid • before Congrefs, do not amount toAhe
thoufandth part of thole imported from Great-If&
tin and its dependencies. Britain has driven every
other competitor out of the American market ; and
were it not for the great encouragement your raft
India Company gives to the Americans to puichak
muflins, cotton. and filk goods of every defetiption,
in Bengal, that they may be able to get in their
revenues from the natives, I believe all Scotland
could karcely provide us in cotton goods; for, it
appears, above three millions of cotton goods are
brought to this country from India.
" It is ezpaled the dekendants of HAM in St.
Domingo will annually confume a million's worth
of rods, and Louifiana above double the quantity.
This 101 l will be. an increaling country—contains
already 70,000 inhabitants, and, from its joining to
the Spanifb province of Mexico. will loon require
and confutne more goods than all America does at
prefent. There are feveral waggons now fet
every week from this for Pitfburgh, laden with Brit-
int goods, st hich are there (hipped on board vends,
who carry them down the river Ohio taco miles, till
they reach Loniliana."
