Gentlemen onhorfeback, and others, went to Chalk Farm to enquire into the particulars yefterday, and crowds of perfons were all day viewing the fpot where Col. M. fell, which was covered with blood.

Captain MACNAMARA is wounded in the abdomen, anc', though Hill living, his fate is very uncertain.— TOWNSEND, the Bow-ttreet Officer, is placed in the houfe.

One of his horfes being ill, the Colonel was not on Wednefday at tended by his fervant. Captain MACN AMARA was alfo on horfeback, followed by a dog. The two dogs quarrelled near the Serpentine river, on the graft, between the ride and the water. They were tumbling over each other, and Captain MACNAMARA'S being uppermoft, having the beg of the battle, the other being a young dog, Colo nel Mosrootaser went. up to feparate them, when very high and warm words arofe ; and a number of Gentlemen came around: the parties exchanged addreffes.
