The trial and conviction of Col. DESPARD and
his accomplices have given rife to a variety of
abfurd and unfounded reports. Among them, a
ttatement given in a Morning Paper of yefterday
holds no mean rank. It afferts that 4. Col. Des-
port), and fix of his condemned affociates, are
chained together in a tiring." The fall is, they
have not been treated with any degree of feverity.
So far from their being chained together, they
are divided in different apartments. Col. Das-
PARD has a room to hirnfelf as before his trial.—
He appears altogether unmoved by his condem
nation, and is employed two thirds of the day in
writing. He has aelnally applied to be indulged
with an Amanuenfis. Of the other prifoners,feven.
are confined together, and two of thole recom-
mended to mercy occupy a feparate part of the
prifon. Every attention, cenliftent with his duty
and their situation, has been given to them by Mr.
Ives, the Keeper of the New Jail.
A parcel containing bad shillings, to the nomi-
nal amount of 571. 171. was found on the beach at
Arbroath, about ten days ago. A number of fi

who is fuppofed to have efcaped either to Dundee
or Montrofe.

DERBY AND OARS.—Nothing done. •
Bo tr:c.—Yerterday a pitched battle was fonght
nn Wimbledon Common for 20 guineas a fide.—
The Combatants were Smith, the Boot-clofer, who
was beat a fhort time ago by young OVionne!, after
an hour's hard fighting, and Curry, a Pugilift of
Tome note, but who has not entered the lids for
thefe lag 7 years. The Amateurs promifed them-
felves much (port; and numbers attended the field
of battle, notwithtlanding the dirty weather, and
the length of the way. The opponents let-to at
one o'clock, and continued the conted for twenty-
two rounds. The firtl and fecund rounds were in
favour of Smith, who was indifputably the drongeft
man. The third round was well contelled on
both fides; but Curry hitting Smith a violent blow
on his temples, knocked him down, himlelf falling
with the force of his own blow. From that to the
tenth round was nearly even betting. The t ith,
ath, and 13th rounds teemed in favour of Curry,
when he, unfortunately, fprained his right hand,
which entirely gave the turn of the battle againß
him ; and although he fought on with great fpirit
and refolution, it was evident, from the little ufe
he could make of his crippled hand, that he mull
eventually give in.
He frequently, in the cantle of the battle, was
urged to yield ; hut he gave two reafons for his re.
fufal fir R, that it was necetrary he fhould prove
his bottom; and in the next place, fatisfy his friends
that he had made the bell of a bad bufinefs. At
the conclufion of the twenty-fecond round, lie,
however, gave in, And Smith was declared viaor.
After this battle, two boys, neither exceeding
fourteen years of age,entered the ring and dripped,
to 'hew the fpatarors the great progrefs they had
made in the fcience of Pugilifm ; and lire enough
they altonithed the Amateurs—both were confidered
Mendoza:in miniature. Afters .out a dozen rounds,
the juvenile Pugilißs were feparated, and a collet-
made for them.
