TO THE EDITOR OF THE STAR.

Having obferved the patriotic fentiments which
have lately prevailed in your Paper, I prefume you
will te•pleafed to learn, that at a general deathly of
a very numerous and refpe table Company, incorpo-
rated (under the title of the Elle(mere -Canal Com-
pany) for the purpofc of uniting the rivers Severn,
Dee and Merfey, it was unanimoafly refolved, that
the Canal Company, and the principal Boat-owners,
would, in cafe of invafion, or fudden emergency,
convey any of his Maid y's troops, baggage, artillery
or military notes, airrty, the lines of this Canal, if
neseffary, free of expellee.
Rcfolutions to the fame purple have been entered
into at a general affejnbly of the Union Canal Corn.
pany, lately held at Market Harbro', in Leicefterthire.
Thefe praife-worthy examples will, no doubt, be
followed by every Canal Company and Boat Owner
in Great Britain, and will convince the deluded and
incontinent flatterers of the Fiat Conful of France,
that though the inhabitants of this country defpife
galionade, they are animated with one mind, in a
caufe which involves, not only their own happinefs
and independence, but that of all the human race.
AN ANTIGALLICAN.

The following fentiment is one from a many of a
fimilar nature given 'in Mr. UPTON'S very energetic
and admirable fpcdacle divertifement of the lottvgion,
or 411 fcr oar Courtly. in performance at the Royal
Amphitheatre : The Soil of. England, and may it prow a
Craw to it: Invaders ! Such fentirnents, and fuch ex-
ploits as this prodation abounds with in all its parts,
deferiptive of Britifh valour, are truly worthy of the'
fpirit of :i ration fuperior to every other for magna-
Limity, loyalty and courage
On Wednefday, near Kennington Crnfs, a dray-
man, riding on the !hafts of his dray, fell off, when the
wheel going over his body, killed him intlantaneonfly.
A melancholy accident happened nn'Saturday LA,
near Portland Chapel :—A Lady had taken leave of
her child previous to her going out of town, and had
turned it over to the care of the nursery maid, who
inftantly carried it up Baits. The child, however,
ea.'-r to fee her Mamma go out, ran to the window,
and, in reaching too far over the window flame, fell
into the flreet, at the moment the mother was dep.
ping into her carriage. The child was taken up We-
lch—the mother frantic.

nefs of fpirits, palpitation of the heart, &c. which
confined him whole weeks to his rocm. He had given
over all hopes of relief in this world, ulicn Mr.
