EXIMAORDIMART Fox-Ctrace.—Saturday,' Mr. POWs tat
found a fox at Cbintham, near Basingstoke, which, after t •
a large run through the neighbonsing coverts, returned to the spot
where he was found. Finding he could not shake eff his pursuers
he tried what speed and bottom would do, and accordingly threaded
all the woodlands from the Vine to beyond Readley Commis,

near Newbury, where; after a desperate run over the heaviest
and most inclosed parts of the county of Rants, he was obliged to
yield his brush te his gallant pursuers, after a splendid run of
between three and four hours. It was considered by sportsmen to
be one of the most severe trials both for bones and bounds, ever
witnessed. Out of a large field only three or, four were to at
,the death.

It is stated in a French paper, that a duel has taken
place at Florence, between the celebrated French poet
Dx LA MARrINE and a Neapolitan exile, a brother or
relation of General Para. The quarrel arose oot Of
some reflections on the degeneracy of the ltalilns, •
which the poet puts into the mouth of his hero, in his
poem, entitled gi The last Canto of Ms? de Herold.
To these reflections, tke N.:apolitan answered its a
pamphlet, containing espies ions offensive to the feelings
of the poet. The latter, tit-I-erne, demanded satisisie-
tion, and a meeting was the consequence. they fought
with swords, DE LA MARTINI standing only on the
defensive, and not attempting to attack his adversary-
The poet was wounded in the arm, and the combat was
terminated by the interference of the seconds. LA
MART-INa immediately published an explanation of the
nifensive verses, and has thus recovered the good graces
of the Italians by his courage, his generosity, and his
_candour.
