when hi'i arms had for a time expelled
the English invaders from his native
country, he is said to have undertak

l>nt the KC ined Scotts started tip at
oio e, and the rover found himself un
expectedly engaged with men art us,
fomett ttt t ottsider victory as secure,
when they wre only opposed hs one
to two or three. Wallace himself
rushed on the. pirate captain, and a
i]ro*u!riif strife tie?an betwixt them
with so ir Li ti fury, that tin other sus
pended tin ir-own battle to Jook on,
a %> seem.-c by cointoou consent to re
f; r the issue of the strife to the fate of
the combat between the twe chiefs.
The pirate f. sight ns well as man
could do; but Wallre’s strength was
beyond that us ordinary mortals.—fi
(1 & cd tiie ? .voed ,t om the rover's
hiiiid, and placed hun in such peril,
that to avoid being cut down, he was
fain to e| is* 1 with the Scottish Cham
pion, in hopes of overpowering him in
.the grapple. In this lie also failed.
They fell on tin 1 d<*< k. lo ked in each
ethers ->rms. hut theFn n< hinan fell
undermost; and W llace. fixing his
g irget, cun pressed it so closely, not
withstanding it was made of the finest
•f steel, that the blood gushed from his
yes, nose, and mouth, and he was
>nly able to ask for quarter by
signs. Mis men threw down their
weapons and begged for mercy, when
they saw their leader so sever* ly
handled. The victor granted them
all their lives, but took posses
sion of their vessel and detained them
prisoners.
When he came in sight of the
French harhor, Wallace alarmed the
place by displaying the rover’s co
lours, as if I3*‘ Longueville was com
ing to pillage the t wn. The hells
were rung ba< kward; horns woe
blown, and the citizens were hurry
ing to arms, when the scene changed.
The Scottish Lion on his shield of
gold was raised above the piratical
(lag, and announced that the Cham
pion of Scotland was approaching,
like tite falcon, with his fwey in his
icitch.—-He. landed with his prisoner,
and carried him to the court of
France, where, at Wallace’s r- quest,
the robberies which the {urate had
committed w*re forgiven, and the
king even conferred the honor of
Knighthood on Sir Thomas De Lon
gueville, and offered to take him into
his services. But the rover had con
traded stick a friendship for his gen
erous victor, that he insisted ms unit
ing his fortunes with those of Wallace
with whom he return’ and to Scotland,
and fought by his side in many a
bloody battle, where, the prowess of
Sir ‘Thomas De L mgueville was re
marked as inferiour to none, save that
of his her ic conqueror. His fate a!
so was more fortunate than that of
his patron. Being distinguished by
the beauty as well as strength f hj s
pi rs m, he rendered himself so accepts
able to a young lady, heiress of the
ancient family of Ciiartcris. that she
chose him lor a husband, bestowing
on him with her hand, the and uuains
annexed to if. Their descendants
took the name Cliarteris, as conned*
iug themselves with their maternal
anceoters, the an. sent proprietors of
the property, through the RAine of
Thomas De Lmigueville was equally
honoured utuoiig them; and the large
tw*s handed sw .rd with which he
mowed the ranks of war, is still pre
served among the family monuments
Another account is that the family
name of De Lmigueviile himself was
Gltarteris. ‘The estate af‘h rvvards
passed to a family of Bi *trs, and is
now the property of lord Grey.
ARNOLD.
Arnold, who on the capture of Ma
jor Andre, had escaped, was immedi
ately appointed a brigadier general
in the service of Great Britian. But
though Ids new companions had wish
ed to profit by the treason, they view
ed the traitor with contempt. What
treatment,’ inquired Arnold from a
British officer. *am 1 to expect should
the rebels in ke me their prisoner:*
‘'They will cut off,’ replied the ofti er,
‘the leg that was wounded at Sarato
ga, aud bury it with all the honors of
war; but, having no respect for the
rest of your body they wil| hang it on
a gibbet,
EQUALITY.
A curious conversation lately took
plac eon board one of the Margate
boyß, which being overheard, occa
Honed no small merriment among
passengers. A gentleman who was
totally unacquainted with the customs
of those vessels, found the cabins were
doubly occupied, one excepted, in
whie h there was a lady: he addressed
her—‘Pray Madam be so kind as to
m;4.e way for m ?* ‘Good Sit S you
cat;tint come here—go to the other
cabins.* *1 have, Madam, and they
are all full.’ ‘Sir, it is impossible to
admit y ii here, fir I am .undressed.’
‘Well. M idam, I scorn to take any
advantage <>f you, I will therefore
undress too!’ when the lady made aer
escape.
A little travelling Frenchman
chanced to breakfast at a tavern in*
Kentucky, in company with a tail ho
ney Jonathan, whose appetite was in
proportion to the magnitude of his
frame, and who ate more at a meal
than little Monsieur would li >ve done
in a week.— The Frenchman was as*
tonisiied at his gastronomic p rfor
mances and after restraining his • u
riosity for some time asked, with a

Jonathan, feeling himself insulted.
A challange ensued, and the K*‘h
tuekv rifle proved to much for the
little Frenchman's vitality. While
lie was writhing his last agonies, Jon
athan's compassi in was awakened,
and he entreated the little Frenchman
if there was any thing he could do forj
him, though it should cost him years 1
to perform if, to Jet him know, and it
should be done. <*o, Monsieur ,*’ re
