The Duke of NOtTNOMSLRLAMD, when at Bath.
a few weeks ago, prefented a bookfeller with aool.
the amount of what he loft by the failure of a
trade in London ; a lots which otherwife mull
have been his ruin. In the fame way, the Duke
lately faved a fbopkeeper's family at Charing•crofs,
by a prefent of soot. though he never had fen or
dealt with the fhopkceper.

The Aron:deur, amichi all the flories it has de.
flounced, and the falfehoods it has aliened, has
never taken notice of Sir Rost ar WI Lsoit's account
of the campaign in Egypt. We have not yet feen
any letter from Jaffa, dating that the Turks, who,
according to Sir R. WI 'Ames narrative, were maf-
facred in cold blood, are alive and merry, nor is
there the leaft hint from M. Discs's sr rss about
the poifoning of the fuldien in the hofpitals. Now
there things are much more worthy the attention
1,1 the French Government than M. PE LT' sit's t pi-
zrams. We do recollea a (tory of M. DEbG
inoculating himfelf for the plague, but we
do not believe that it has the kali conneftion with
the oisvahuiaa of which Sir It. Witsow reprefentsfo
many French troops to Lave died.
