deavoured to run by, and by 

 some crossing manoeuvre the 

 leaders got entangled. In the 

 exertion to extricate them, the 

 pole of the Phoenix was broke, 

 and it upset. Very fortunately 

 the horses got disentangled, and 

 ran away, otherwise the conse- 

 quences nuist have been dreadful. 

 Mr.Taylor,of the Golden Cross inn 

 in this town, had a thigh broken; 

 Mr. Cawthorn, a wine merchant 

 of London, had his arm dislocat- 

 ed, and several passengers and 

 the coachman were much bruised. 

 In consequence of the hoises of 

 the Dart taking fright, they ran 

 away with the carriage, which 

 had the dicky knocked off, and 

 threw two of the passengers into 

 the road, which entirely prevent- 

 ed the coachman rendering any 

 assistance to the other party. 



14. Como. — We have now had 

 for some days the happiness of 

 having again in our neighbour- 

 hood her Royal Highness the 

 Princess of Wales, who is return- 

 ed to her villa of Esle, after having 

 spent four months in Sicily, after 

 visiting the ruins of Carthage and 

 Utica, near Tunis, and having 

 made a journey to theBosphorus, 

 Greece, and Palestine. In all 

 places which this august traveller 

 honoured with her presence she 

 was received by the Governments 

 with the most distinguished re- 

 spect, and every where she en- 

 joyed the tribute of general es- 

 teem . 



Every where the Princess view- 

 ed and collected valuable articles 

 of the fine arts and antiquity, 

 which, added to whiU she already 

 possessed, will form an extremely 

 rich museum, and add new splend- 

 our to her already celebrated villa. 



She was particularly generous to 

 the learned Academy at Atlicns, 

 and assigned a large sum for the 

 Monks of the Holy Sepulchre, in 

 order to relieve their extraordi- 

 nary indigence. 



She also resolved to mark her 

 happy retuin by new acts of be- 

 neficence, giving titles of honour 

 to the persons who accompanied 

 Vier on her dangerous pilgrimage. 

 Lastly, she charged the neigh- 

 bouring Priest of Cenobio with 

 the distribution of large sums for 

 the relief of his poor parishioners, 

 and instituted popular games, 

 with prizes for the conquerors. 



The first English stage-coach 

 seen in France was launchii-d at 

 Dieppe, with all its paraphernalia. 

 The horses being put to, Mr. 

 Plant, of London, a coachman of 

 al.out eighteen stone weight, and 

 a real John Bull, mounted the 

 box, and astonished the inhabi- 

 tants, as much by the dexterity 

 of cracking his whip, as the bulk 

 of his person for the burden of 

 his horses. Away he started for 

 St. Denis amidst the various gri- 

 maces of the populace. A com- 

 pany of London proprietors have 

 obtained the permission of run- 

 ning English stage-coa( hes be- 

 tween St. Denis and Paris. Three 

 more of these vehicles are on their 

 route for the same destination, 

 with English coachmen, harness, 

 &c. — Brighton Paper. 



Madame Bianquemont De La 

 Force made an agreement with a 

 voiturier, named Gosselet, to con- 

 duct her from Strasburg to Mar- 

 !-eilles, for which she paid a con- 

 siderable sum. A few leagues 

 fiom Besancon, and near the 

 ri\cr Doubs, this monster stun-
