in France was building, a Countryman
standing by, observed with great Atten
tion how they went on:—Up comes a
Lawyer, with his Bags or Sacks, to the
Countryman, and, fays he, " Friend, I
am persuaded, you know not what Place
these People are building." " True, Sir,
I wanted to ask you," said the Country
man. The Lawyer answered, " A Mill."
" I thought so," said the Countryman,
" on feeing an Ass carrying Sacks to it."

" THE approaching Summer
feemi pregnant with as great E
vents as ever have, been recorded
in the present Century. To form
an Idea of what these Events will
be, is far beyond the Power of
Mortals. Every Heart that is not
steeled against the Ideas of Human
ity A must feel indignant at the Fate
of Louis xvi. But whether the
initiation of thousands of inoo
cent-Perfons to his Manes will be
grateful to them, or advantageous
to the World, Imuft leave to the
Politicians of the Times to deter«
mine.- England is beyond Com
parison in a more deplorable State
than ever I knew her—Bankrupt
cies beyond Conception=-publick
Faith intirely gone—an expensive
foreign War to support, and a con
siderable Faction to quell at home.
From what I have seen, the War is
not a popular one, and the sudden
Effect it has had on trade makes it
very obnoxious to many Persons in
the mercantile Line. The French
were prepared for making Repri
sals at Sea upon their Enemies
sooner than any of them, and many
valuable Prises have already fell in
to their Hands ; but it is by no
means probable, that the French
Marine can support itfelf against
the united Marine of England, Hol
land, Spain and Portugal."
