. tremblingly admitted, an intimacy ; but, says he,
"'me know it was she sedticed me, and de only
charge dat she or you cut bring against me is, dat I
was not as pule as a Joseph, or as chaste as a Belle-
rophon."
Carroll wondered much at the learning of Carter,
but was not to 'be put off in that way ;he would
have his action against the Black, and accordingly
proceeded' to Lord Norbory, and esplained all the
matter so satisfactorily to his Lordship, that his Lord.
skip granted a bat immediately against poor Tawney,
• after bestowing many compliments en (Ise person and
t address of Carroll, and espr essi tg his surprise that
• Ike lady should have indulged in such a preference.
It showed very bed taste—very bad indeed.
Carter wes accordingly attached ; but the charac-
teristic charity of his !tight Rev. Mester interposed,
and aecordingly the tailor and haberdasher of his
' Lordship became security for the appearance of Car.
teito make defence to the action.
Thus the matter rests for the present; when It will
end no man can tell.—( Dublin (Atom)

It is stated in letters received by the Tuscan, that

Latroanoar.r), is to be Governor-General of the

Lou KT Cot.; et •Corfe, ono of the lonian islands,
placed by the late Treaty .ss iris Russia coder the pro-
tectints of England. It is considered, that the tom.
wristl interests of the country will be greatly aug-
mented by these concessions, under the able ma-
nagement and direction of the present Governor of
Dinka.
Swixoi.rocr.—Some months nen, Cwt. R. who was
a resident id Chapel-street, Betlfotd-row, was called
soddenly away to baits. Ilia house, which was com-
pletely furnished, and contained a cellar well stocked,
with wine, he left in care of a relation, with in-
.; strections to let the same until his return, prodded
the opportunity of a respectable tenant should oiler
Itself. Soon after Capt. R. bad proceeded on his
voyage, a man of genteel appearance made proposals
to take the house. Mr. R's relation was particular
as to character; and although great pains were t..ken
Ito make the referees appear most respectable, the
party ryas not accepted. Neat appeared as candidates
for the residence, a Lady and her daughter, of genteel
appearance. They represented themselves as wife
mud daughter of a-gentleman who bad made his for.
tone in the West Indies, and who was minding up his
affairs to relorss to England, where it was his inten-
lion to spend the remainder of his days.. They wore
I not particular, they said, the 'present house would do
esceediogly wells until Mr..-- arrived, when, of
course, a regular establishment would be necessary. As
to references, they had had little opportunities of being
known in England, except to a Gentleman in the±
profession, who resided in the Temple. Ile had the
management of their affairs in this country, and
could best speak to their respectability. The Gee. ,
denten was waited upon, and being found in respect:
ablrechambers, pith his clerks around him, his re:
presentation, which accorded with every thing the
ladies bad said, was attended to, apd the arstageri
frees Indies were pot in possession. Splendid enter-
tainments imosediately followed, and nothing .watt
omitted to keep ep the idea of wealth' and magnifi-
cence. Instead of iodine' ilifficitty in obtaining
credit in the neighboarhOod, the tradesmen were only
anxious to receise their orders. At length the periods
of payment came round, and this was „Ike signal for
their decamping, but did not do so before they had
sent of most of the moveable saleable, in the house,
and had cleared the cellar of every bottle of wine ;
the professional gentleman, it is supposed, accom-
panied them, for be, disappeared about the fume time
ender similar circumstances. It is believed that they
belong to au extensive gang of swindlers, and that the
first person who came after the house was este of
them. No tidings here been heard of the party.
Surcum—The hostler of the Dog and Bear Inn,
in tlri Borough, was on Saturday morning shout five
o'clock discovered suspended from a beam in en ave-
nue leading to this-stable. The landlord !leering a
anise, and suspecting there were thieves in the pre-
mises, got-up and came down stairs, when on pine
into the yard he discovered the deceased hanging, and
a pair of steps near him, which appeared to have been
kicked down by him after he had mounted them to
accomplish his purpose.
