Fooz-Racy.—On Friday laft a footrace was run
between Lord Frederick Bentinck and the. Hon. Ed-
ward Hat bord, for the fum of one hundred guineas.
The ground chofen was between the fecond and
third mile-lone on the Edgware road. They parted
about three in the afternoon, and the race was very
clofely run for, fomething better than half the wayJ,
when Mr. Harbord, owing to his fuperior lrength.
gained confiderably on his antagonift, whom he eft
at a confiderable diftance behind. Mr. H. ran the
mile in five minutes and fome.feconds, and the bets
at the dote were two to one in his favour.
On Wednefday, about three o'clock in the after-
sofa, then was experienced in Glafgow and its
stighboorhood, a thunder floral, accompanied with
lag, ha, and min. The peals of thunder were
tremendous, the Nantes of lightning remarkably vi-
vid, and the fall of hail and rain uncommonly great.
The ftorm lofted nearly half an hour. A girl about
twelve years of age, of the name of Kirkwood, was
killed by the lightning, while The, with a filer, was
on the road between AVoodfide and Anderlion. On
examining the body, there appeared on the breall and
back, a -black fpot about tour inches in circumfe-
rence. Her lifter was not hurt.

Every thing remains on this (tams in the fame
Bate as for fome weeks pall, and Ido not espy& a
change. In the face of fo powerful a fleet as is now
employed in the blockade off Breit, it is improbable
the enemy will put to fea. The INDEFATIGABLE,
NAUTILU', and Come other (mall •effels, have been
fent down to the Bay.

JERSEY SQUADRON.
Yeflerday we received Letters from Guernfey, by
the General Doyle packer, arrived at Southampton,
and by the Brilliarts Cuv ENT, arrived at Weymouth,
dated on Wednefday lalt. Sir James Sao amiss was
then lying there, with the DIOSISDB, Slams, and
Kt aces-essir TR. An opinion prevailed there and at
Jerfey, Rated to have originated in accounts from the
Continent, that the French meditated an immediate
attempt on thofe Iflands. One of the boats of the
Status lately landed on the French coati, and fur-
prifed the people belonging to a fignal poR, made
them prifoners, and carried them, their fignals, &c.
on board the ADMIRAL.
SQUADRON OPP OSTEND.

This fquadroo, which now confißs of the ANTS-
LOPS, CILISCINT, PRISLOPII, RATTLIR, INSPICTOI,
GALGO, with Tome gun brigs, cutters, and loggers,
extends from Fluffing to Offend. We have received
information that another divifion of the enemy's gun
boats is on the eve of leaving the Scheldt for Offend;
and we are in contlant readinefs to receive them. A
report is prevalent in the fquadron, but bow it origi-
nated I cannot fay, that the whole of the enemy's flo-
tilla is to put to fea on the 13th of this month.—
They have fo often difappointed us on this head that
lam cautious in indulging the profped of an early
meeting with them. One point alone lam certain of,
that whenever it takes place we will ficken them of
invafion.
SQUADRON OPE BOULOGNE.
MoR of the wads appointed to this Ration have
failed from Dungenefs aad the Downs to refume it.
The enemy are contlantly employed in exercifing
their batteries. A letter received yellerday from
Dover, fay.--" Our Boulogne fquadron has been re-
inforced ; it caitiffs at prefent of two !hips of the
line, one frigate, nine bumb-fhips, and about an gun-
brigs. cutters, and loggers ; the enemy remain as
dual: they frequently ezercife their flying artillery,
itc. and have lately had a grand sham fight ; from
the appearance of their troops there teemed to be
ty.coo men; they kept them oat about eight hours,
advancing and retreating, and the fire from their fly-
ing artillery was very quick, to cover their retreat."
A letter from on board His Majefty's Grip Taurry,
off Boulogne, July 3, fays—" Lieutenant Samoa.
Davis, of his Majelly's chip TRUSTY, perceiving at
day-light, Tome of theenemy's !mall boats off Cape
Ganes. and judging they might be annoyed, was
difpatched in a boat for that purpofe. He has foe-
ceeded in bringing out a boat, marked No. 25, from
under the batteries, which kept up an inceffant firing.
It proves that the Captain. Jaaw Daraorss, of the
gun-boat, No. 23, of the scl Oafs, compofing a part
of the enemy's flotilla, had come along fbore in his
long-boat with four (cameo for the purpofe of fifhing
he was, with the icemen, fent directly to Admiral
Louis, at Dungenefs."

From the Barbados, Meratry of the tath of May,
received on Saturday, we have extra ted the follow-
ing intereffing article :—" By the American brig
Sally from Baltimore, which fpoke the French priva-
teer fchooner General Erneuff, on Saturday left, off
Defpeada, from Guadeloupe bound on a cruise, we
learnthat the Mazzaoaouo it packet. which was taken
by this privateer, did not furrender until the had
twice fullained the moll defperate attacks of the ene-
illy, and gallantly beating her off each time; but
that on the third attempt the enemy fueceeded in
boarding, and at length carried her. On board the
packet twenty were killed, including three paffengers
and Captain BULL, and (even wounded. The Ge-
neral Erneuff, (which carried 14 guns and 9s men)
had one Lieutenant and eight men killed, and the
Captain and fourteen wounded. She informed the
Sally that he was going to cruise in the latitude of
this Aland, in hopes of falling in with the neat packet,
and gave the Captain of the Salty a London paper of
the t9th of March.
By the Curaberlived, via Liverpool, which brought
Barbadoes Papers to the t 3th of May, we learn, that
the WI homeward Convoy will fail from Demerara
on the 7th, and will call at the different Minds for
fuch Chips as are ready, or. its way to the rendez.
vous.—Col. Mac Lean failed from Barbadoes, with a
detachment of troops under his command, on the 7th
of April; their dellination was not known, but Cup-
poled againft Martinique.
leumuarions.—Letters from Berlin, of the 26th
lib. mention that all the rivers that take their rife in
the mountains of Silefia and Bohemia, have lately
overflowed and taken a north-well direaion. miring
very great damage. Between Croffen and k
a track of the moil fruitful foil, of ten German (equal
to 3o Englifh) miles, is converted into a lake. About
4000 pertons, living in the lower parts of the coun-
try, have been compelled to leave their habitations,
and fare themfelves and as many of their cattle as
circumflances would permit, by taking refuge upon
the heights. His PrufGan Majefly has already taken
meafures for the relief of the (offerers, for whom a
Fawn' fubfcription has alfo been opened. The Iris
is indeed confiderable, but MA fortunately the flood
was not of long duration.

of the Danube is noticed, but means have bees taken
