Clarence, by Admiral, own brother to Escape, promises to make a Charger. Escape was in private early matched with a Padreen mare, "Old Fitz." and to whom he was known to be pa tent fetter'd; but " Old Fitz." grow ing tired of him, kicked him severely, and was the means of his being sent to pound more than once. Escape was next matched publicly with Consort, and ran for the Dunmow stakes; but shewing uncommon vice after the first heat, he kicked poor Consort so dreadfully, that the match was drawn. Escape ran his last race at New-market, but prevailing on his Jockey to ride booty, the rascally cheat was discovered, and Escape was disqualified from ever running again, and his Owner expelled by the Jockey Club!!! Escape is also own brother to Duke, who shered such foot at the Dunkirk Races.-Duke ran against Ancient Briton for the Commander's Plate, but Punning foul of the Darling Filley, he was thrown out shamefully, and like his brother disqualified, however he has again been taken into training. N. B. Escape has been latery entered under the name of REGENT, for the Royalty Stakes, to be run for over the Constitution course, but from his running a Garran, as Escape, his BEST FRIENDS have refused to back him. -He is to be rode by Val Percy, and it is generally believed will make as dirty a race, as he did before at NEW MARKET. Since the above was written Mr. Cox has received the Newmarket Racing Calender, by which it appears that Regent, (late Escape) has met with a severe accident, in pursuit of an aged Jill: he was surprized by her feal Yarmouth,' who kicked Regent so dreadfully on the Croup and Buttocks as to render confinement to his stall necessary. Val Percy, like a cunning jockey gave out that Regent had only sprained his fetlock," but the knowing ones are not to be gulled again by Escape, and have published a drawing of the Yarmouth kick,' which is sold at all the print shops, in order to prevent the public from being again imposed on. N. B. It is hinted that Duke has been kicked, as he too complains of a sprained fetlock. Weasel once ran again" MAC LEONARD," a tight, stout, anti-union Irish Poncy, of sound wind, and great bottom, but wanting foot,-the first round Weazel kicked him in the stifle joint, and lamed him for ever. Weazel's last race in this country was against Pawnbroker, for the Stevenson Plate.-Pawnbroker is a clumsy jolter, headed JACK-and never hav ing been trained to a genteel course, he swallowed the great mouthing bit, ran blind, broke down at the starting post, and lay for dead, by which means Weazel carried off the plate with great eclat to Man-Island. Weazel has a cadaverous counte nance, sour muzzle, is Goliah nosed, and wears winkers.-Any intelligence of him will be thankfully received by Mr. Cox, and numerous tradesmen of this City. For further particulars enquire of Larry Grogan. To be let to Jills this season, BULLDoG:-for his pedigree enquire at the Blue Coat Hospital, where he was trained--and his Get upon a common Jill may be seen at the lower end of Clarence-street, near the little Strand. To be sold a dead bargain, SECRE TARY, own brother to Beggar man, he has been just turned out of a Scotch stud for trespassing.--Secretary has been used to draw Unicorn, with Pecu lator, (late Barrister) and Traverser, two sorry Jacks who will be sold with him.-On a late trial they were all three condemned as being chest foun dered, and unfit for the Pavement; if not speedily sold they will be hired to draw the Canal Boats, as they have no means of keeping in the city. N. B. Peculator (late Barrister) has been castrated, and has a mighty pretty method of braying. Any hotel or pri vate vate family may have him at all times to entertain company for a feed of oats and a drench. No engagement or character will be given of them. To be hired for dirty jobbing-The two noted Jacks, Wrestler and Informer, for the pedigree of the first, enquire of his Dam, at Channel row, and for his performance see the Broadstone Calendar. Informer is out of a Padreen Mare, crossed by Apostate, own brother to the Crowley colt, who lately won the Stakes. Wrestler is now fit to be seen, having got new body clothes. -Informer has just been let out of Pound, and it is certain he has the Pole evil. As these Jacks are glandered, mangy, and full of vice, Mr. Cox does not suffer them to stand in his Mews, but they may be seen in a dark stall in Exchange-alley, where they are training, and will be led out Occasionally by the Groom Major! They would be an object to a shew man, as they can play many tricks upon Books, and are handy at an afidavit. Play Houses. The very recent calamity in the Theatre of Richmond, in Virginia, should alarm any person in the habit of visiting such places of amusement, not less than 300 persons were burnt to death on this dreadful occasion, owing to the bad construction of the building, its passages and stair cases were so Harrow that an escape was impossible, and the miserable victims were burnt to ashes, merely by the ignorance of those who erected the building. What happened in America may happen in Dublin, Cork, Waterford or Beast, and therefore those whose taste for Theatrical representation, carry them to crowded playhouses, should in future be governed by some precaution that may be useful to them in cases of such melancholy accidents. The plan of Crow-reet Theatre, the only one allowed to be in this great city, is particularly inconvenient for escaping in cases of fire, and the inmense crowds that generally occupy its benches, would encrease the em barrasment and difficulty. Instead of having two or four doors, to each gallery there is only one to each, and the stair cases that lead to this doar, that ought to be ten feet wide, are not more than three feet, scarcely capable of allowing two persons to pass a breast, so that were any danger to threaten, the intire audience must suffer, as the Richmond audience unhappily did, from the slowness necessarily imposed on them by the confined construction of the passages, doors, and stair cases. It is to be hoped that Mr. Jones, though he has a monopoly of the stage, will alter his House in such a manner, that even the most timid wil feel no just cause of apprehension, by any apparent cause of obstruction to the escape of the people on any alarm of fire, real or fictitious. Mr. Perceval and his Birmingham Kings. On Mr. Freemantle's motion for postponing the Catholic Question to the 14th of April. Mr. Perceval took some pains to show gentlemen who asserted, the question would meet with the general, if not the unanimous support of the country, to be unfound. ed, for said he, "The more and the deeper I look into the opinions and the feelings of the majority of the people of this country, who ought not to be misled on this subject, the more I am convinced, that the measure proposed was one which would in all its stages meet with their disapprobation." What mighty deference Mr. Perceval has on this occasion for the English rabble. He would not advise the relief of five millions of Irishmen, least it should meet with disapprobation disapprobation of the enlightened Majesty of the British mob, lest they should be roused to repeal on the ashes of Catholic Houses, the law which would allow the rights of citizens to the men, who are keeping them in their workshops. We believe whatever disposition the stocking makers of Nottingham, and the inhabitants of Vere-street have to wreak their vengeance on the professors of Catholicity within their own country, their hatred against Idolatry and errors in faith, would scarcely allow them to come to Ireland to break our Images, and burn our Chapels, so that if our Emancipation would meet with their bigh disapprobation, the evil arising from it would be diminished by being so near the seat of Government. shoe-maker and chief engineer, Quartermass, ministerfor foreign affairs, and journeyman tailor, and the two Byrnes, the coopers, and frigate builders were discharged from confinement, without any demand on them to surrender their cannon, state papers, or dock-yards into the hands of the Major. There can be little doubt of the guilt of those rebels, as in Keegan's lodging in Church-street, were found a large furred pelisse, in which was rolled a French prayer book, the peliese every body knows, was part of the costume, worn by Keegan as director, and the language of the book shows it was part of the late remittances from France, for the succour of the Irish insurgents Adams's guilt is just as obvious as Keegan's, as there was found concealed in an old hat case under his bed, three printed leaves of a treatise on gunnery, and a song on the attack on Prosperous; Quartermas's guilt is notorious to every man in the parish, as he has been studying the French lauguage more than six months prior to his arrest, for the purpose of qualifying him for the post of minister for foreign affairs, nothing but treason could prompt a man of 92 years of age to learn a fo Mr. Perceval has incautiously told the truth on the relative conditions of the two countries. The act of Union, made us to understand, we were to be fellow subjects with the proud Britons, but Mr. Perceval plainly says, the Britons are sovereigns, and papists nothing higher than mere Irishmen, for, said Mr. Perceval, the people of England, will not allow the Catholic claims to be entertained, so far, it must be allowed the same good people not only claim the sovereign language; as to the Byrnes they reign power, but use it as tyrants. If Mr. Perceval was advising a new tax, or a new levy, would he express any apprehension of public disappro bation? No; the great deference he pays to Britons on the score of religion, is overlooked on other occasions. He makes them sovereigns in Ireland and slaves at home. Keegan's Rebellion. This "perturbation," as Judge Osborne terms conspirations against the state and travelling mutton, has been terminated at the last commission of oyer and terminer, when General Keegan, the schoolmaster, Adams the were actually engaged building a frigate, and water casks some place as yet undiscovered. A very serious injury has been sustained by the battalion of testimony, by the liberation of those Rebel Chiefs, every preparation was made by the several officers to act in their respective departments. Biblemouth had his victime made up into a pretty voluminous bread roll: Firethatch, had his cabbins marked for purification; Grib. bins, had his thanksgiving sermons and blunderbusses, to celebrate the triumphs of the Law and the Gos pel, on the ashes of convicted vilÏages. The Tipperary Justice and pike finder, had his smiths at work and such a train of hidden pikes were dispersed from Chapelizod to Clonmel, that nothing could acquit the Papists on the line of march of treason. The Major, God bless his Honor, had a catalogue of paintings in his list already condemned, and again the plundering of Mrs Moore, and the burn ing of the widow Rattigan's furniture and timber yard, were to vivify revenge, and gratify a taste for the fine arts and a thirst for pillage. Bulbrooks, Huddlestone and the Wrestling Doctor, had each à particular mission assigned to them, but we have not learned any thing of the specified object only that the patriot of Mount Jerome had obtained his accustomed leave of absence, while his neighbours and friends were gibbeting. Blancherstown, April 1, 1812. I beg you will write to the Most Rev. Peter McFarlane, (private application being unavailing) and entreat him to take down Lukey's green apron, that his reverence has elevated on a pole, over our village Chapel, which is appointed the rendezvous for Luke's twenty shilling freeholders to enroll themselves. The accidents it gives birth to are innumerable, but the im. mediate cause of this application to the terrible tribunal of the Irish Magazine, (the only one which the Flying Stationer, the Major, the Judge, and the Duke, &c. &c. dreads,) is owing to an accident that happened on Sunday evening last, to that meritorious officer Major Sandys, on his return to his Lucan Citadel, the periodical Sunday trace of twenty-four hours, between him and the Mass-lane gentry being nearly expired. The eyes of his ske. leton Rosinante too suddenly encountered the yellow fringe of the green apron it so startled the noble animal that he actually reared his hind legs full six inches from the ground, by which unexpected movement, the quondam Prevost Hero, was prostra ted into a deep dike, notwithstanding his long equestrian practice on Hevey's mare, one of the Major's legs was se dreadfully shattered by the fall, as to baffle the skill of his female surgeon, who has the care of both, these two years, & renders amputation necessary. The public affliction the accident caused was suspended for some time, on hearing that it was one of the legs of the Major's small-clothes which suffered so dreadfully, but was resumed on learning that it wat the only one he had, and likewise was given to him as a keepsake of love, from his valuable friend. Mr. Gribbins, the cast clothes man, of Barrack-street. When the Major was leaving Dubin three years ago to assume the com mand of the Lucan District-it is but justice to say that Mr. Gribbins has the Major's token (a six shilling) of friendship in a high state of preservation; which sympathy, the most ten der feeling prompted him to demandia return on the affecting separation. PHILANTHRopist. Jailor of Newgate. The Committee of place-hunters, are on the alert to succeed Mr. Binns to Newgate. The Major's Larry has been busily engaged, under the pastoral instructions of the Reverend Tumbler Cozens, and Mr. Crowley, preparing to adopt the parliamentary confession of Faith, necessary to promotion.He has nearly the whole of the thirty-nine Articles by heart, and the act of parliament against transubstantiation, with the revolutionary one, enacted for the pur pose of depriving the VIRGIN of any controul, interest or influence with her Son, a law of equality, by which she is not to assume any rank above that of any other persons, or spirits in the upper worlds. See the Rev. Mr. Pa pist-hunter's edition of the Statutes of Westminster, Printedly Woulaghan, at the Enniskillen press. War (Continued from page 134 of our last.) War was indeed soon declared, and signalized by the insurrection of Cairo, which was not quelled but by the loss of between 5 and 6,000 Turks. Bonaparte then judged that there would be a combined attack on Egypt by Syria and the sea, and resolved, by chastizing Djezzar, to destroy his preparations in Syria. He prepared every thing for this expedition, took possession himself of the important point of Suez, and sent three frigates to cruize before Jaffa, to make a communication with the army. The taking of El Arish, and the seizure of a camp of Mamelukes signalized the commencement of this campaign, and determined the capture of Gaza, Jaffa having made more resistance, was taken by assault, and the garrison put to the sword. The enemy chose to attempt an action with 5000 Naplousans and 1000 horse; they were repulsed at Korsum; and the army came from the defiles of Mount Carmel before St. John of Acre, and saw an English squadron, under the command of Sir Sidney Smith, cast anchor before the town, which it assisted with its artillery, and with the advice of some officers, especially of an old French officer of artillery, N. Phili paux. The ardour of the besieged had been abated by numerous attacks, when Bonaparte learned that a great number of Mamelukes, Janissaries, &c. were to come to the relief of St. John of Acre. Iminediately perceiving the neces-ity of going to conquer these new enemies, he left two divisions before the place, and directed his course to the Jordan. The battles of Loubi, Nazareth, and Sed-Jarra, prepared the total defeat of the enemy, which was completed at Mount-Tabor. The army soon returned to St. John of Acre, and the siege was resumed with vigour; but a Turkish squadron had landed some troops to reinforce the garrison. Bonaparte then considered For APRIL, 1812, Vol. V. the end of his expedition as accom plished, having carried war for three months into the heart of Syria, and dissipated the armies which were preparing to fall on Egypt, whither the season for landing now imperiously recalled him. He raised the siege after the trenches had teen open for sixty days. The retreat was made in order; the villages which had revolted were punished; some parties of Arabs were dispersed, and the army arrived at Cairo on the 26th of Prairial, (15th of June, 1798.) It was in this retreat that general Bonaparte, passing through Jaffa, went into the hospital itself to comfort those who were in. fected with the plague, and had the courage to touch their wounds: this incident has given occasion for one of the finest pictures that the French school has produced. Returning to Egypt, he learned that the Mamelukes had assembled to protect a landing: a French column immediately surprised their camp, and took 700 camels from them. At the same time the Turkish fleet was effecting its landing at Aboukir: Bonaparte gathered his amy together at Romanhie, went to meet these new enemies, and attacked them with so great a superiority, that 10,000 of them threw themselves into the sea, abandoning 20 pieces of cannon: the rest were killed or made prisoners, and among this number was Mustapha Pacha, the commander in chief. But, in the midst of it victories, the French army was daily grow. ing weaker; it had no means of repairing its losses, and the war of Egypt had no longer an object, since the scheme of penetrating into India by the isthmus of Suez had been renounced. At the same time affairs in France had assumed the most unfoural le aspect; the defeats of Scherer had brought on the fail of a part of the directory which, composed of heterogeneous elements, was on the |
