ANECDO T E.
SPHERE is at this time existing in
a France as singular an instance of pe
nitence and felt-denial, as is to be met with
in the annals of ancient or modern history.
The Princess Louisa, daughter of the late
King of France, embraced the resolution
of quitting the world, and retiring into a
convent, at a time when she was in the
prime of life, and equally distinguished for
the brilliancy of her wit, and the magni
ficence and fplendour with which she dis
pensed the honours of a court, where lux
ury never was carried to an higher pitch
of extravagance. Her royal father used
every means to dissuade her from a resolu
tion so very disagreeable to himfelf, and
the whole French nation, to whom she had
endeared herfelf by unbounded a&s of cha
rity and condescension : But all arguments
were in vain, she renounced the world with
a stoicism and apathy very difficult to be
accounted for. She chose for the place of
her retreat a convent, in which the aufte
ries practised are fufficient to appal and stag
ger the resolution of the most biggotted de
votee. A course hair fhift— lodging at
night upon the cold ground—abstinence
from all kinds of flefh meat, and her short
(lumbers perpetually interrupted by calls
to a&s of devotion, were preferred by this
pious Princess to all the gratifications at
tenda'nt upon exalted situations. When
her father lay upon his death-bed, he ex
pressed a desire to embrace his favourite
daughter, and leave was obtained from the
Archbishop of Paris, for permitting the
Princess to leave the convent for the pur
pose of comforting the King in his last mo
ments. A messenger was immediately dis
patched from the court, requeuing her at
tendance, but she returned for answer,
“ that having long weaned herfelf from
carnal things, she fliould affront her spiri
tual father by visiting her earthly one :—
She fliould never cease to pray for the foul
of the King, but declined returning again
into a world which she had long re
nounced."

Sixteen Dollars Reward.
RAN away from the fubferibers in Trenton in
the night of the 12th inst. two indented Irish
servants, one named William Graham, a labourer,
about 20 years of age, 5 feet 6 or 7 inches high,
much marked with the small-pox on the nose: Had
on when he went away an old short drab-coloured
coat much patched, one pair old cloth breeches, and
cloth jacket ; also took with him a blue coat, cordu
roy jacket, and a red and white flriped Holland
jacket. The other named James M'Coy, about 20
years of age, 5 feet 8 or 9 inches high, short light
brown hair, marked with the small-pox a little in the
face, clumfey built: Had on and took with him when
he went away, one old brown coat and jacket, one
pair of green ribbed Bergen breeches, one old black
pair of plush do. one ruffled shirt, two plain shirts, and
one felt hat. It is likely they have changed their
clothes and forged passes—and it is thought they are
gone to the Nine Partners in New-York state, or
New-England. Whoever takes up said servants and
secures them in any gaol, so as their masters may
have them again, shall have the above reward, and
all reasonable charges paid by
