BRIGHTON, NOVU4SaIt 1.

This town has just been the scene of an elopement, or
rather of the recovery of a fair damsel, eloped from her
friends. •A young Lady about 23 years of age, and of
great personal beauty, arrived on Thursday last, by the'
London coach, at the Pavilion Hotel, where she remain.
ed until the next day, when a Gentleman made his ap-
pearance at the house, and found bythe description which
was given of the fair fugitive, that tht object of his search
was sately there. This Gentleman was her uncle, and from
what has since u anspired,we have been enabled to gather
the following particulars of tbe affair. The Lady is of
a highly respectable family, residing at Brixton, and had,
it seems, formed an attachment with a Frenchman, who
seas to meet her at Brighton, and for that purpose was
Xeedto arrive by the steam packet on Saturday from
pctpn In order to mislead her friends when she
eitW bonne, she wrote a letter to her mother, in which
Abe declared her intention of proceeding to Dover; and,
tolanngthen this belief, she went by the Brighton coach
'to town. This she quitted it the Elephant and Castle,
where she got into the Regent coach, and arrived,
'we have stated, at Brighton. Some suspicion being,
however, excited, that her destination was Brighton, and
pot Dover, 'a pursuit was undertaken in that direction;
and by a singular coincidence her uncle took his journey
by the same coach in which the had herself been
conveyed hither. By the description of the coach-
man, the uncle was satisfied of the identity of the
Lady whom he had brought the day before to Brigh-
ton, with the object of his search, and went at once
to the inn, from which, without delay, he con-
veyed her by a post cbaise the same evening back to
her friends at Brixton. The Frenchman is horn forty-
eight to fifty years old. He had formed an intimacy
with the lady about eight months ago, at a friend's
IL,we in England, and since his return to France, a
cot respondence had been kept up between the patties.
Whether he came in the steam-packet on Saturday or
not, we have ant been able to learn; but another relative
of the lady arrived here on that day, and went down
to the chain pier in the eipectation of meeting him.—
