LORD George Gordon, in confcquence ofan altercation with the gaoler of Newgate, has been removed from his apartment into the ground cell, and there confined without bed or furni ture ! Without deciding 011 the propriety or im propriety of the gaoler's conduit, every man of feeling mult lament that his lordfliip is reduced to so deplorable a lituation. The immense train of Austrian artillery which was at Peterwardin palled Vienna on its way to Moravia the 20th ult. The firft piece palled ai half pall fix in the mornijig, and it was half palt two in the afternoon before the whole had gone by, though not one moment'sltoppage took place the whole time. The alfair as Marseilles, according to the best accounts was hot fa bloody as at firit it was re prefeuted. The commander of Fort Sr. John was the only person who loft liis life, and this on account of some improper expressions two days after the fort was surrendered. The populace then renewed the dreadful fcence of Paris during the firftdaysof the revolution. A Deputation was lately sent to the Queen of France from the committee ofrefearches in Paris to request information with refpejft to the vio lences committed at Versailles, on the night of the 6th ofO&ober. Her firft answer was, " 1 will never become an informer against any of the fubjeifis of the King !" The deputation wait ed on her Majesty a second time, when heran lwer was still more emphatic, " I have fein every thing," laid she—" I unierjlood every thing—and have forgotten every thing. On Monday two journeymen flioemakers in Livei pjol of the name of Griffiths and Wright ten, agreed for a wager, to try which was the neatelt and moll expeditious workman, for which purpose they set to at five o'clock in the morning and continued with little intennifliou until eight hi the evening, during which time, the former made, in a neat and workmanlike manner thir teen pair and an odd one of children's pumps out of the rough, with the heel-rans and infoals pro per ; the latter made twelve pair complete. 'Tis l'uppofed the grcateft performance ever known to be done by any ot the craft. A Mr. D brought his wife before the Ma gistrates, at the Public Office, Bow-street, for af faultingand beating him. D gave an account of the last afiault she had committed on him (for to enumerate every one would have taken up the Magistrates time, perhaps, till now.) It was with a hearth-broom, which the lady thought proper to break over her hulband's head. He gave an other proof of tlie happiness he had experienced in the matrimonial state ; for he declared, out of fifteen years that he had been married toiler, he had not three days quiet, owing to her turbu lent disposition, which had reduced hiin from a state of independence to poverty. She was com mitted to Tothill-fields, Bridewell, until Ihe finds bail for her appearance at the next feflions. A LINCOLN'S INN FROLIC TWO young gentlemen who arc studying th'e law, and who have chambers in Lincoln's Inn, took a particular fancy the other day to a young woman who frequented the garden with a child in her arms. They laid various stratagems to entice the mother to come into their chambers ; but she saw the intent, and studiously avoided a viiitof that kind—At last they thought they hit upon a scheme that must effeclually bring her in. One of the gentlemen took the baby in his arms, and, after killing it, brought it home to his apart ment. The other itudent followed, and both now imagined that the woman lnuft naturally come for her child ; but, as the faying is, " fae bit the biter" for (he lent the child to their pro tection, and made the bed of her way home ; and has taken care to conceal that home from them. i hey are persons of good fortune, and have sent the child to nurse. The public may re ly on our alfertion, that this is afatf. ANECDOTE. A Tar, after returning from a voyage for low wood, having made rather too free with a plank belonging to the owners of the vellel to which he belonged, was taken before a justice, and accu sed of the theft. One being aflced what he had to fay in his defence, replied " that, aftet ha v. ing a (lifted to ileal a whole ipioad from the Spani ards,it was a hard cafe that he could not have a flank for liis own ufe,witho\itfo much parlavtrV JNEIV-YORK, July 30. The latest accounts from Europe inform that according to the present appearances, the belli gerent powers of Europe (among which we rec kon thole preparing for war) may be drawn out in battle array in the following manner Great Britain f Germany 1 ruflia j ; Spain Sweden . against J Ruflia Ho,lan( ] | 1 Denmark ~ i Italian States T *1 t! j I The Pope To wh.ch may be added, France incapable, Por tugal and Sardinia neutral or doubtful. To con fer the situation as to men and money of the 544 Ifirit lift a:ut of the last, one would bsapt to ihifsk there is an amazing inequality, and th.it in favor of the former. We hive ranked Holland from its intimate connexion with PruUia and Great- Britain. Further accounts state, That the orders which the Spaniards had gi*. en to be executed for them in London, were coun termanded ; and the belt informed inercantils men infer from thence the certainty of a war with Spain.

Several eminent chara<fters having recently loft their lives. That the National Allembly have voted an A<j. dress to the King, exprefling their refutation that the nation fliould not be involved in any foreign war. The House of Commons of Great Britain have resolved to permit the importation of Rape Seed, and Rape Cakes from the United Stares of Ame rica.
