We can imagine the onisfottune of se indoetrioos farmer, when his newly Nowa lauds are covered with a rushiug water—when his cattle mid sheep have net • dry spot left fur them to feed upon—when his stacks of corn stand in a deep sad penetratior pool—and when a powerful stream sweeps tbroogh his yard and his barns.

Families base bees driven trout their sitting-rooms to their upper apartment., where io most eases there is so meson of pro c uring a fire; all their comforts are destrnyed; they creep shoot in the mores with the hope of recovering something from the *reek, or sit in wretched inaction amidat the damps with which they are surrunnded. When the flood leaves them, the misery boo by no mesas ceased.

When the note became due, it was distionowed, and in vain was appli cation made to the Defendant afierwardi lur payment. On the Slat of July, 1789, the I. feudatit wrote to the Plaintiff from Dublin, misted to him, that his father, Sir Henry Cir. veridi.h. had promised to let him haws 11910. which he would pay to the Count upon his agreeing to take his bond for the:it:m*44er ertih money, payable sic months after by Sir Henry% droll); or he offered to give him Lord Falkland's bill. worth 1401, sod concluded by desiring know his determination, for this was the hest offer he would make upon the subject. lu a plistcripr. he requested the Count would have the goodaes4 to write in future upon one sheet of paper, for that be had to pay double postage for his letters.— Shortly after this the war broke nut between Eng land and France, and all communication betwecta the two countries was broken off, which continued until the peace of 1802. lu the mean time the convulsion of the Freoch Revolution had bereft the Plaintiff of his family patrimony, amid he was re duced by that evens, like many others of the Freud' noblesse, to indigence.

He happened by accident to meet his old friend Mr. Cavendish, by the new title of Lord Waterpark, at Paris, and he afterwards commenced the present action. But the trial had been de-• Isyed for a considerable time by the Defetodent, who had filed a bill iss equity to stay procretkigs. That bill had been answered, and now the we was brought to trial. He thought it aeceseary to state these circumstances in order to account for the length of time which had elapsed from the rlal'e of the note until the present period.
