EXTRACT FROM THE PORT-FOLIO OF A MAN OF LETTERS.

FROM
“Picces Interessantes et peu Connues.”

GEORGE II. on his return to London, after the battle of Dettingen, could with difficulty bear the sight of Lord Stair. He could not forgive his Lordship's reproaching him for the danger which threatened the English army. in case the King had obstinately persisted in leaving it in the camp which it occupied, and where it would have been completely defeated, if the Duke de Grammont by his rashness had not saved it. Lord Stair, as proud as he was skilful in war, having soon perceived the King's dislike, and being little disposed to bear the shame of a formal disgrace, was on the point of retiring to his estate in Scotland, when he received the following letter :—

“MY LORD,

"Your bravery is well known; but will you have the courage to go to-morrow night to the entrance of Somerset-house, where you will meet one who (if you dare follow him) will conduct you to a part of the town not much frequented, but where you will find one who is anxious to see you, and to discover secrets which are of more importance than you imagine, and which cannot be disclosed in a letter. If you are afraid this should be a plot on your purse, bring nothing valuable about you."

We may conceive his Lordship's surprise at the reading of this note. At first he took it for a trick of some secret enemy; or some affect of gallantry, the heroine of which had probably her reasons for so acting—however he determined to go. He therefore, after providing himself with a sword and a brace of good pistols, went to Somerset-house, and found there a man, who, without speaking, made him a sign to follow him; after walking for about an hour, they came into a street almost empty, where the conductor knocked at the door of a small old house: when it was opened, he said, "Walk in, my Lord," and the door was shut upon them. The intrepid no-bman, holding his sword in one hand and a pistol in the other, went up the stair-case, and entered a room, the furniture of which seemed very ancient. "Come in, my Lord, (said a faint voice issuing from a bed) come in, you have nothing to fear; pray sit down in the chair near my bed, and we will converse totogether." "Very well, (said Lord S.) but make haste, and tell me the reason of this odd adventure." "You are hasty, my Lord, but have patience; lay down your arms; take that seat, and come and look at me." "His Lordship surprised at such authoritative commands, to which he was little accustomed, got up, took the lamp, went to the bed, and remained stupified at the sight of an old man, pale and thin, with a long white beard, and whose eyes were instantly fixed upon him." "Look at me, my Lord, (said he.) I am still alive—I owe to you the only true pleasure I have tasted these many, many years. Age and misfortunes, have they entirely effaced the marks of one who is nearly related to you, and who is delighted to find in you features which are most dear to him?" "His Lordship, still more astonished, looked at the old man, and unable to account for the different emotions which agitated him, spoke not a word. "Stoop, (said the old man) and you will find, under my bed, a box, which contains papers capable of amply repairing the losses your family has sustained by the civil wars." His Lordship having placed the box on the bed, sat down again on the chair. "Here, my Lord, (said the old man) here are copies of the sales of three of the principal seats belonging to your ancestors, which your great-uncle sold, or rather pretended to sell.

box, and found a great number of papers, which he judged would be of great use to him. Next morning, notwithstanding his promise not to return to the old man, he was suddenly stopped by the following letter, sealed with his own arms, and to his extreme surprize, signed George Stair.

"Do not return to me, my dear Lord, for you will not find me. If it had been only to tell you who I am, that is, your great-grand-father, who has so long been supposed dead, and who justly deserved to be so, I should not have opposed your just desire of knowing your benefactor; but the consequences I foresee of so interesting a scene, too much so for my weak age to bear, made me too much so for your sake and your respectability a relation as you imagined, would only have shewn to you a wretched-a monster less worthy of pity than of horror."

"My father died a few months after my birth; my mother soon followed him; I was left to the care of an aunt, sister to my father, who brought me up so tenderly, that (though she was the cause of my crime) I still retain the most grateful remembrance of her in my heart. I was scarce seventeen, when struck with indignation at seeing my countrymen armed against their lawful Sovereign, I formed the design of tendering to King Charles I. the offer of my fortune and sword; but what was my astonishment, when on disclosing my intention to my good aunt, I saw her, trembling, lift her hands to Heaven, and look at me with a kind of horror. Surprised and afflicted at the state she was in, and turning with impatience to know the reason—"You force me, then, to tell you, (cried she, bursting into tears) know then, that the Prince you are so desirous of serving, is the author of my shame and of your father's death. I was about fifteen, and among the attendants who waited on his mother, when the wretch, imposing on my age, and credulity, by the most sacred oaths, contrived to seduce me— in short, I was ruined. The perfidious Prince, soon after, went to Spain, in hopes of marrying the Infanta." I should have been entirely lost, if your father had not come to London: to him I was obliged to own my misfortune and the consequences which I dreaded. That dear brother, afflicted even to tears, ran immediately to the Queen, obtained permission to take me away, and sent me to one of his seats near Edinburgh, where I remained till I was perfectly recovered. Alas! (added she) I was doomed to see him no more. The grief which he conceived for my un-doing, soon killed him; and his worthy wife, after bringing you into the world, survived only a month. Such, dear nephew, were the secrets and deplorable motives which reduced me to that obscurity in which I have since lived, and of which you are alone acquainted. Judge now, my friend, if after the care I have taken of your infancy, and the education I have procured you, say, can you devote your fortune and arms to the author of so many calamities, to a barbarian who has carried death into the breasts of your parents, and into mine eternal remorse?" "No! (cried I) by God! no! the wretch is unworthy of life, and he shall die by my hand!" To tell you, my Lord, by what means, as refined as dangerous, my fury against the King continually increasing, was at last able to fulfil my revenge and exorbitant oath; to tell you all the events, and the excess of remorse which soon followed my crime, would be too grievous in my weak state to relate. Satisfied with knowing, (that you may abhor me as much as I detest myself)—that the executioner of King Charles I. who appeared on the scaffold under a husk, was in fact no other than your unworthy too guilty great-grand-father—Sir George Stair!"

From 1640 (when Charles I. was beheaded) to 1743. (When, the battle, of Dettingen was fought) there is an interval of 94 years. On a supposition that Sir George, was 20 years old when he committed his crime, his age in 1743 must have been 114 years.

The anonymous author of these memoirs adds, that whatever were the emotions of Lord Stair by reading this letter, his first care was to look for the street and house where he had seen his great-grand-father; but finding the house empty, he had learnt from the neigh-gebearst, or rather pretended to sell.

As England, not a century and a half ago, enviedoured in a fit of parsimony to save the salary of a King, it may not be amiss to furnish those who consider it as having acted wise in this respect, with a little account of some of the Expenses for Republican Governors to supply the place of CHARLES I.

As most of them were in debt, and all in poverty, the gratuities set against their names are the prices of their redemption from crying Creditors to independence.

Each Member of the LONG PARLIAMENT received 41, per week of public money—576 Members at 52 weeks, 119,808l.

Speaker LENTHALL, 7730l. per annum, and 6000l. gratuity. His son received 2000l. a year.

WALTER STRICKLAND, 5000l. a year; BUTSTRODE WHITELOCKE, Commissioner of the Great Seal, 1500l. gratuity 2000l.

Pensioners at 1,200l. per annum—EDMUND PRIDEAUX, ROGER HILL, FRANCIS Rous, THOMAS HOYLE, and Sir GILBERT GERREARD, with a gift of 60,000l. and the Paymastership of the Army at 3d. in the pound, equivalent to 12,5000l. per annum.

MILES CORBETT, 1700l. per annum; HUGH SMITH, 2000l. per annum; Sir EDWARD HUNGERFORD, 1500l. per annum; CORNELIUS HOLLAND, 1600l. per annum; Sir T. WIDDRINGTON, 1500l. per annum; Sir WILLIAM BREDETON, 2000l. per annum; and Sir WILLIAM ALLISON, 1600l. per annum.

The most eminent who received gratuities, without being pensioned, were SEDEN, 2500l.; OUTVER CROMWELL (who afterwards made it better worth his while), 4000l.; ISAAC PENNINGTON, 7000l. (Bishop's lands not included); WILLIAM PIERRPOINT, 47,000l. but being displeased with the smallness of the donation, he was pacified by a gift to his Brother of the Archbishop of York's Palace in Nottinghamshire; JOHN Ash, 14,000l. besides places; and JOHN BLACKSTONE, 15,000l. besides his pension of 200l. per annum. These gratuities amounted to 308,500l. exclusive of gifts in lands and the confiscated estates of the Nobility, of immense value, and the pensioners drew annually 80,000l. from the people, exclusive of necessary places, &c. &c.

It is difficult to find the exact multiple of these sums, in order to estimate their value in the currency of those days; but perhaps if every guinea were to be considered equal to five in the present times, though it might not shew in its utmost extent what a Republic cost, it might yet be sufficient to convince the candid, that Good Order is purchased at half the price which has been paid for Anarchy.

The following extraordinary story is related on the authority of the late Lord ORFORD:—Lord — being out of town, his house was left in charge of a female servant. The plate was lodged at his banker's. A letter came to say that his Lordship would be in town on such a day, and desiring that the plate might be got ready the evening before. The servant took the letter to my Lord's brother, who said there was no doubt of the hand-writing. The banker expressed the same certainty, and delivered the plate.—The servant being apprehensive of thieves, spoke to their butcher, who lent her a stout dog, which was shut up in the room with the plate. Next morning a man was found dead in the room, his throat being torn out by the dog; and upon examination it proved to be my Lord's brother.—The matter was carefully hushed, and a report spread that he was gone abroad.

Since the very necessary and much to be commended regulation at the Opera, of Ladies giving their name and address, before they can be admitted to the Pit, Old Q. and Lord W. have applied for the office of Door-keepers.

during the troubles. There are also the letters of the pretended buyers, by which you may immediately recover the estates on your arrival in Scotland. Precautions have been taken to prevent any disputes." What was his Lordship's astonishment when he saw the three contracts of estates, which he knew formerly belonged to his house: "Ah! (cried he with transport) ah! who are you, respectable and benevolent old man, to whom I owe more than to my own father? speak, I beg of you! favour me with the name of so generous a benefactor, in whom I am so singularly interested, and whose days Heaven seems to have prolonged, that he may find in me the most tender and respectable of friends, and the most grateful of men!" "Leave me, my dear Lord, (said the old man in haste) I am too weak to bear a longer conversation; leave me, I beg; take that box, and bid adieu to an old man, who thinks himself less unfortunate since he has had the happiness of holding you in his arms." "Ahr! whoever you are, (said Lord S.) and whatever reasons you may have to conceal the name of so generous a man, can you have the cruelty to oblige me to obey you? To abandon you to such a situation, without friends, without help, without—;" "Stop, my Lord! it is with pleasure I see in you such generous sentiments; but know that your friend, (since you think him worthy that title) however unfortunate he may be in other respects, is still free from want; therefore, if you wish to oblige me, leave me, my Lord, instantly; nay, do more, and believe me I have a right to demand it; swear to me that you will never come here again, nor ever search after me, unless I send for you." His Lordship seeing by his tone of voice, that he would not be refused, promised to obey him; once more abraced him, and then left him with tears in his eyes. On his return home he opened the

pore; and so, the Affiliation of all the Gentlemen, Preholders, and other the Inhabitants of the ancient Market-Town of Wanting, alias Wantage, in the County of Berks, were both prefented to His Majesty by Richard Pye, Elg; introduced by the Right Honourable Mr. Secretary Trumbull.

People have been raiſ-\ning for several Months paſt, by one of the principal\nOfficers of the French Navy, under Pretence of ſen-\nfing them to the Indies. The Perſons to ſaile, con-\nſiſting of about 100 Men, were call'd Graſſins de Mer,\nand cloath'd in blue faced with red. They embark'd\nat Port St. Lazare in Britany, on board a Frigate of\neighteen Guns. The Pretender, who palled incog-\nnito from Normandy to Britany, embark'd there the\n14th of July, at Eleven o'Clock at Night, accompanied\nby fifty or ſixty Perſons, chiefly Scotch and Frith.\nThe Frigate was join'd off Belleby the Elizabeth Man\nof War of 66 Guns, they intended to have ſail'd\nround Ireland, and landed in Scotland, but were met\non the 20th by ſome English Merchant Ships, convoy'd\nby three Men of War, one whereof was the Lion,\nwhich immediately made up to the Elizabeth, and at-\ntack'd her. Upon Sight of the English Men of War,\nThe Pretender ſail'd away in his Frigate, and has not\nſince been heard of. The Fight lapsed nine Hours,\nwhen Night coming on, the Elizabeth quite diſabled,\nhad the good Fortune to get to Breft. The Captain\nand ſixty-four of his Men were kill'd, 136 were dan-\ngerouſly wounded, and a great number flightingly. The\nElizabeth had on board 400,000 l. Sterling, and Arms\nfor several thousand Men. Notwithstanding all this,\nthey pretend at Paris that the Court knew nothing of\nthis Adventure, and even produce a Letter, which, it's\nfaid, was brought by the Courier from St. Lazare,\nwherein the Pretender fays, that being left in a State\nof Inactivity, not being permitted to follow the King\ninto Flanders, and having in vain ſollicited the Mini-\nſtry to do ſomething in his Favour, he was reduced to\nthe Neceſſity of finding some Method to ſhow himself\nto the faithful Subjects of the King his Father, in hopes\nthat they would receive him, being determined rather\nto expeſe his Life to the greatreſt Dangers, than re-\nturn to Rome upon the fame Footing as he left it.\nHis Retinue is chiefly compoſed of People banifhed\nfrom England, or eſcap'd out of the Perſons.", "Offend-Road, August 11. 1745", "“ It is not impoffible I may be with you as ſoon as\n“ this Letter ; but as it is likewife poffible I may not,\n“ let me keep my Word, and tell you how Ode-\n“ narde was thrown away.—The White Flag was\n“ hung out there by Order of an Enſign, who had\n“ the Guard of one of the Gates.

MUTINY AT PORTSMOUTH,

The following Correspondence was published in hand-
bill on Friday and Saturday last, and circulated
through the Fleet :

By the COMMISSIONERS for executing the Office of
LORD HIGH ADMIRAL of GREAT BRITAIN
and IRELAND, &c.

HAVING taken into consideration the Peti-
tions transmitted by your Lordship, from the
crews of his Majesty's ships under your command,
and having the strongest desire to attend to all
complaints of the Seamen of his Majesty's
and to grant them every just and reasonable redress,
and having considered the difference of the price
of the necessaries of life at this and at that
period when the pay of Seamen was established,
we do hereby require and direct your Lordship to
take the speediest method of communicating to the
Fleet, that we have refolved to recommend it to his
Majesty to propofe to Parliament to increase the
wages of Seamen in his Majesty's Navy in the
following proportions, viz.

To add four millings per month to the wages of
petty Officers and able Seamen :

Three millings per month to the wages of ordi-
nary Seamen; and two millings per month to
the wages of Landmen.

That we have refolved, that Seamen wounded
in action shall be continued in pay until their wounds
are healed, or until, being declared unferviceable,
they shall receive a pension, or be received into the
Royal Hofpital at Greenwich; and that having a
perfect confidence in the zeal, loyalty, and courage
of all the Seamen in the Fleet, so generally ex-
prefed in their Petition, and in their earnest de-
fire of ferving their country with that spirit which
always so eminently distinguished British Seamen,
we have come to this refolution the more readily,
that the Seamen may have, as early as possible, an

are, the expenses incident to the War, and other expen-

COPY OF A LETTER FROM THE REV. FRANCIS
MAGGITT, PREBENDARY OF DURHAM, TO THE
BISHOP OF DURHAM.

MY LORD,

Nuneham, Feb. 18, 1800.

If you were surprized at receiving from me a
Loaf of Bread, your surprise will cease when I
explain my reason for sending it; in doing which
I must enter into some details, which I am per-
suaded will be far from uninteresting to your
Lordship. In the course of reading an old work
on Rural Economy, I lately met with the follow-

the moment when the news of the defeat of the
French in the Tyrol arrived at his Royal High

This Truce, it is believed, has no reference
to whatever the Negotiation supposed to be carried
on between the Emperor and the French; and
highly advantageous to the French.

If the Austrians has a favourable opportunity of
treating Buonaparte (which is not improbable,
as Generals Kerpen and Laudohn have served the
French in the Tyrol, the Austrians may once more
triumph, and drive the French out of Lombardy.
At all events, it is next to certain, that Mr. Ham-
mond will arrive long before the Emperor makes
his Peace.

The following is given as the position of the two
armies when the Truce was signed :

The French Army is in three Divisions, that of
the right directs its march to Gratz, in order to pe-
netrate into Hungary; that of the centre, com-
manded by Buonaparte in perfon, is defined to
force the Archduke to retreat into Austria, to follow
him thither, and to march frait to Vienna; and the
Division of the left, commanded by Maßena, was
chaired with bearing down from the country of
Tyrol on Saltzburg, while another corps, under
the orders of Joubert, was to surprife Infruck.
All these different corps were ordered to form a
junction under the walls of Vienna, after having
turned the Archduke; or if they should not be
able to cut him off from the Capital, to driv-
him under its walls.

The Austrians were likewife divided into diffe-
rent corps, the strongest of which, under the com-
mand of the Archduke, makes head against Buon-
parte. His Royal Highnefs defends his ground inc
by inch, in the fame manner as laft year, which was

the grievances of private ships be redreffed, an Art
paffed, and his Majesty's gracious pardon for the
Fleet now lying at Spithead, be granted, that the
Fleet will not lift an anchor, and this is the total
and final anſwer.

Spithead, April 22, 1797.

In CHARLES the Second's time, the King was
obliged to go aboard the Navy in perfon, at Port-
month, in order to quell a mutiny, which nothing
but the Royal preference could poffibly alloy. Sir
EDWARD SPRAGGE was knighted at the fame time
aboard the Royal Charles.

It is to be noted that his Excellence the Astorga, groom-major to his Majesty of the Sword to the lodgings of Highness was arranged with great precision.

This name, truly historical, not only timed as a recurrence for great service, accrete the memory of one of the most surprising marches through the roars of the battle, considering every obstacle but one, but have likewise been, with the most honour, in the same choice, a new bond Country and the Illustrious Warrior (in the name of the Ruler of Europe), produce and firmness. Therefore, intelligence became public, all classes satisfied with the French army in the field, and satisfaction, and wish to express their approbation of the conduct of the King, the Duke of ABRANTES, and the King of the Belgians. The sight of so many winds of the earth, whose power the Portugueses have made the time of the flight of the ancient Court, did not prevent them from the horrors of anarchy and desolation.

It is somewhat curious, that on the very day when DONAPARTE with his mock-Kings, Queens, and Duchesses, were engaged in a splendid ball at Paris, and ARTHUR WELLESLEY was treating the soldiardist of ABRANTES and his troops with balls of another kind, but which induced the French to dance with much greater activity than their countrymen did at the same time in Paris.

We give them only, however, as the unauthenticated romours of the Paris Prints. They are extremely improbable, and we dare say will turn out to be false.

A Noble Earl who received 50 guineas from Sir EDMUND NAGLE to pay one guinea for every league that the PRINCE REGENT should go by sea within five years, has already to repay the 50 guineas received, and 45 in addition, it having been ascertained by the log, that in his late trip the PRINCE REGENT traversed 95 leagues. Sir EDMUND has been offered several hundred pounds for his bet.

The late Sir JOHN M'MAHON has left 600l. to Sir WALTER PARQUHAR: 500l. to Sir WM. KNIGHTON; and 2,000l. to his Secretary, Mr. MARABLE. There is another legacy or two, with the exception of which, his property goes to his brother. It was stated lately, that this amounted to 70,000l. a sum which we thought to be much beyond the truth; upon inquiry, however, we find it to be exact.

To COUNTERFEITERS!—JAMES GATES, Clock and Watchmaker, &c. Chilicothe, has for sale an elegant set of engraver's tools, entirely new—also etching points, and every other article, except a press, necessary to counterfeit Bank notes in the best manner.—(New York Paper.)

It is curious there should be only one counterfeit Dauphin in France, while counterfeit Sovereigns abound in England.

Mr. Algernon Percy has arrived from London at Rome. He has sent to the Cardinal Secretary of State a valuable snuff-box, in the name of the Prince Regent of England, who has received the manu-
scripts belonging to the House of Stuart.

On Thursday seignight, at Bowwood, the seat of the Marquis of Lansdown, Mr. Broad, for nearly forty years steward in the Marquis's family; being out in the park on the day preceding, with a party of ladies and gentlemen, he found a dead adder, which he took up in his hand, and opened its mouth, to shew where the poison of the creature lay; in doing this however, the subtle matter communicated to a cut in one of his fingers. On the next morning, Mr. Broad was found dead in his bed, with every indication of his having died from the effects of the poison, the arm being much inflamed.

The balance of passengers between England and France begins now to turn greatly in favour of the latter: between the 22d and the 29th ult. there were 546 went from Dover to Calais, and only 189 from Calais to Dover.

Wednesday last, pursuant to an old custom of new Members returned from Grimsby, standing god-fathers for any children that have not been previously christened, Mr. Tennyson arrived at that place to perform his part; when it was expected that upwards of 100 children would be christened.

The Gazette announces that his Majesty a writ to be issued for summoning the George Horatio Cholmondeley, (a son of Rocksvanage) to the House of Peeces, by the title of Baron Newburgh, of Newburgh, in the prouderous Egyptian granite country, by his Majesty to the British Museum, from the court yard in the front of the hall, for the pedestal on which the statue of Sir Joseph Banks is to be placed.

May 21 1811
The MARQUIS of HARTINGTON'S COMING of AGE.

The only son of the Duke of DEVONSHIRE entered his 21st year yesterday. This event was celebrated with every demonstration of joy, by open house being kept at every mansion the family possesses in the United Kingdom. At Chiswick, Chatsworth, Hardwicke, and Lonsborough, in this country, and in more Castle in Ireland, old English hospitality will be observed for three days successively. At Devonshire-house, in Piccadilly, an excellent dinner was given to the whole of the domestic establishment, to which were invited all the trades-people. In the evening their female friends were admitted to a dance, which was succeeded by a supper, composed of every delicacy, with wines of the rarest quality, and, among others, Imperial Tokay was not forgotten.

The celebrated beverage contained in the Twelve Apostles (immensely large beer barrels) was ordered to be dispensed, with a liberal hand, to all comers, at Chatsworth, in Derbyshire. It was here that 5000 persons were ordered to be entertained with roast beef and plum pudding, i. e. the tenantry in the great court-yard, and the populace within the boundaries of the park.
