We are told that a noble Earl who decamped with a young lady of family, wrote a letter to his Countess, an amiable woman, informing her that he has settled 5000 l. a year on her, and that she might dispose of her servants, or otherwise as he thought proper; his determined resolution being never to return to England more. The fair partner of this young Nobleman's inconsiderate flights, is somewhat above 20 years of age: her disposition sprightly and vivacious; and her face, tho' not strictly handsome, yet engagingly agreeable. The Nobleman has, we are assured, been divested of all his employments at Court, by special command; in order to discourage vice, and banish from the palace (agreeable to Royal Proclamation) all such as should be found guilty of immorality.
