Yefterdey Lady PEMBROKE, fet out for Blenham- Heufe, the Sest of the Duke of Marlborough, her Ladyfhip’s Brother. : An interefling ANgcporr, ND fo, as [ was faying, it was quite a premeditated Affrir, and by no Means, the Effe& of a fudden Fit of Psffion, or inconfiderate Precipitation;—You areto know they Nz e were together at a private publick Rout, or BH, the Night before they atluuly wen.

"...‘O!by no Mesn:, my D-ar, (repliad the kind Mother ) I have not the leaft inciinaticn 0 go Home; fo don'c make your felf st all unesy sbrue me : ... YourTime fhall be mine.” This uncxpecled and {uperabundantGooanefs difconcerted theirScheme, and obiiged the Gentleman to have Recourle to s 2d Plot. About Four in the Morning, the Cempany broke up. The Mother’s Chair sppeared at the Door; but that of the Daughter’s was not to be found: Upon which her Partner very naturally defired the Young Lady to accept of his. The prudent Matron thanked him for the Offer, and told him, that fhe would put M ‘s intg her Chair, and that the her felf would make Ule of his. Thisfhe sccordingly performed,and by that Means, added one reftlels Night more to her Daugheer’s Virg—ty. The next Morning the young Lidy took it into herHead to vific her Uacle, ftepped into her Chsir and quiited her Father’s Houle. The Chairman fat her down at a certain Houfe, in a cer- tain Street, which Houfe was previoufly prepared tor: the Purpole. She told the Fellows to come sgain at a certain Hour, and {o difmiflfed them. The Chair re:urned sccording to Order; but on enquiring-for the Lady,the Men were told,that fhe hed been gone from thence s confiderable Time. This was reported to her Facher,who the next Morning receiv’d a Let- ter, which by the Hand.writing on the Direflion, he knew to behit Daughter’s. He took the Letter, read the Superfcription, and then returned it to the Bearer, telling him he might give itto the Perfon from whom it came. The Loveralfo wrote s LesS ter to his Wife ; in which heinformed her,tha: tho’ he had lived with her fo many Years, it had never, notwithftanding all hisEndeavours, been in hisPower to bring himfelf to love her asfhe deerved; thetMi‘s was the cnly Perfon for whom he ever felt a reel Affe@ion, and that with her therefore he had deter- mined to {pend the reft of his Days. [They imme- diately embarked for Germany,in theit Way to Lialy, where according to the Fafhicn of theCouniry, they are determined tolive togecher till they grow weary of each other. On Ssturday fe’nnight the noble Lord and Lady fet off in a Poit Chaile tor Gravefend ; from whence they took Water and proceeded to the Point, about two Miles below Tilbury, where they waited till & Dutch Veflel was cleared, not chufing to embark be- fore. Asthis took up fome Time, and the Weath- 7 was very cold, the Lord and Lady lay down in the Boat, covered with the Tilt, while the Waterm n walked to and fro on the Shore. After the Cuftcm® Houfe Offigers had clesred the Veflel, the Lord and Lady embarked. However the Winds not being fz- vourable, the Dutchman on Friday laft was got ro farther than the Nore. Before the Dutchman failed from Gravefend, the Officers having obferved two Foreigners on board, whom they fufpetted to be FrenchPrifoners, the Officers were ordered on bosrd agsin to bring thole Perfons on Shore for a ftricter Examination ;and a Rumour then prevailing that the Perfons the Watermen had fhipped on boaid the Veflel, muft be the Lord and Lady, the Captain of & Veflel, then at Gravefend, on Fiiday Morning manned his Boar, went with her himfelf, and pro- ceeded to the Nore, where coming up with the Dutchman, he boarced him, and by Force of Arms, demanded the fair Lady, and broognt her off in T'ri- umph (leaviog the noble Lord behind) to the Falcon at Gravelend, wnere fhe continued all Friday Nighs, very difconfolate, and full of Tears. She had every Civility offered, but refufed to go to Bed. The Captain it is{sid, fent a Meflenger to the Nore, to let his Lordfhip know that the Lady was fafe ianded and was at the Falcon at Gavelend ; upon which his Lordfhip quitted the Dutchman, and returned to the Lady the next Morning about three o’Clock. There appesred two Gentlemen from London, very intimate with his Lordfhip ; however on a fudden, his Lordfhip agreed with the Mafter of a Cod Smack for 50 Guiness, and 12 Guineas more to 8 Pilot. to take them with sll Expedition to one of the firft Ports in Holland......Accordiagly, every Thing being provided, his Lordthip, snd the Lady, who was drefled in & black Silk Sack, with a Leghorn Hat on her Head, tied down with aHandkerchief 1o corceal her Face, put off {rom Gravefend on Saturcay Mor- ning about Ten o’Clock, on bozrd the Cod Smack, ' and proceeded diretly on their Voyage.
