The Revard Of Gallantry.-A merchant from
the country was making his way home from
the theatre on Wednesday night, when he
was accosted, near the Bank by lady of
pleasing countenance, polished manners, and
elegantly dressed, who after stating that she
had been KEEP: at party much later than she
intended, and would he unable to reach her
abode in the Faubourg st. German, asked
him to conduct her to u respectable lodging
house, where she could obtain bed. The
gentleman could not resist such an appeal to
his galantry, and eagerly offered her his
arm. After some fegned deIicacy it was &C
cepted, and the rartiAs ."~llrod ON together
till the lady suddenly uttered an exclamation
of fright, and left him saying that person
who knew her and by whom she did not wish
to be seen, was approaching. In minute
she was son,o distance from him but the
merchant having instlnctivcly put his hand
into his pocket, and found it empty, instead
of containing his purse with about 3OOOE. in
gold and silver, pursued his fair incognita,
and caught her in the Place DIES Victories. as
she was in the act Of getting into cabriolet.
He took her to the guard house and had her
searched, but no purse or money could be
found upon her. She was however. detained
till next morning, when she was visited by q
young man, who said he was a relation and
expressed great Indignation, at the charge
laid against her. Upon his being, however,
closely Intercepted, suspicious against his
own character were raised, and he in his turn
was subjected to a search, which produced
the merchants purse and most of the money,
No doubt of the fair ladys having contriyed
to pass it to him before she was caught, could
be entertained. and consequently he was,
with his relation, conducted to the Prefecture
of Police, and committed with her to be tried
for the Observation-Disclosures Messenger.
