bathed by a noble river ssowing on the right. A clump of old
trees rises in the centre of the foreground, at the foot of
which is the weary object of pursuit, feebly bounding along,
pursued and surrounded by numerous dogs and huntsmen.
Among the latter is a gentleman in a scarlet coat, on a brown
horse, seen in a hinder view, attacking the stag in front with
a spear. Before him is a second huntsman arriving full gal-
lop ; and on his right are, a lady on a grey horse, accompanied
by a gentleman who is sounding his horn, also arriving, fol-
lowed by another lady. Beyond these is a rustic bridge over
a deep chasm, through which issues a gush of water. Around
are seen huntsmen coming from all quarters, one of whom, in
passing the river, is thrown srom his horse. The general
appearance exhibits that of a cool grey evening. See descrip-
tion, No. 477, Vol. I, improved. Foi’ size, read

bits the fatal result of a battle between military and unarmed
peasantry. Among a small body of cavalry, arriving on the
foreground is one on a white horse, bearing two ssags in his
hand; three prisoners are marching before him, and two
others are attached to the tail of his horse. Close to the left
is a cart laden wdth the wounded, one of whom interests a
woman who is near, deploring the calamity. At a little dis-
tance is seen an officer at the entrance to a fortress, welcom-
ing the arrival of several persons.
