fear of God too much before his eyes
to be easily tempted ; the clerk finding
him proofthus far, went on, one by one,
'till he had laid ten guineas on the table;
here poor human nature gave away ; the
Jew calmly swept the money into his
pocket, called for his pork chop, and
eat it. The laugh going rither against

A battle was faught on Sunday, at a
small village in Suffolk, soon after divine
Service in the evening, between a brace of
John Bulb, who had retired from drink
ing the precepts of the gospel, in an ex
cellent sermon, to drink a mug of humble
ale, in a publick house, adjoining to the
church, kept by the clerk. The cause of
the quarrel, was briefly, religion ; one of
them offering tp lay the other a quart,
" that he could not tell whether the Pope
was a Papist or Roman C^tholick—and
the clerk should be judge." This ques
tion proving too knotty for the other
learned disputant, Mr. Sternbold under

A short time since, one Miss Elizabeth
Parry, undertook for a trilling wager, to
walk, from one end to the other
of that tremendous natural arch at Pyftyll
Rhiard which crosses the cataract at the
height of 26 yards from the furface of
the unfathomable bafon which receives
the current at die bottom. It is naturally
foggefted, that the inceff^nt defcer.t of
the water forced by degrees its way
through the rock, and so formed this
fione bridge of one entire piece, and
which this enjerprifing heroine crossed
without shewing the lead dread or hesi
tation. It is traditionally reported that
only five men ever attempted,this hazzar
dous feat, and only two of the five walk
ed the whole length, and, one of them
was the father of this virago, who apf
pears to have no more giddiness in her
head than that memorable veteran who
beat the drum On the highest point of St.
Mary's spire, at Shrewfbury, in the reign
of Queen Elizabeth.
IN the evening was read, a letter
from the Major enumerating disturbances
in three different parts of Paris, to which
he had been summoned by the officers of
the diftrid, and which by his presence he
had quelled.
At the opening of the session, a mem
ber brought intelligence, that the people
had surrounded the house of M. Cler
mont Tonnerre, who is the President
of the famous Monarchick Club, and who,
at that moment, was making a motion
that the Club might be admitted to the
bar of aspersions thrown out against it.
On this informations the Assembly order
ed a message to be sent to the Major, to
inform him of the danger.
NAIidNAL ASSEMBLY of FRANCE.
It was determined, that as the elec

the purpose of ele&ing Bishops and Pa

refufe the oath, that they Ihonld take the
fame opportunity for electing the Judges
which are to form the Supreme Tribunal
of Revision ; but as this tribunal will be
composed of only forty two Judges, and
the number of the departments are eighty,
three, it was fettled that the departments
should elea to this tribunal alternately,
and the firft choice should be determined
by lot. -
The King is a!fo desired to complete
the thirty regiments of infantry, and the
twenty regiments of horse, destined for
the departments of the Lower and Upper

BALTIC SOIUDRO*
Government has fully determined on
fending a fleet of ships to the North-
Seas, as soon as the season of the yeah
will permit. It. is with this sole object
in view, that an extraordinary number
of line of battle (hips, has been kept in
commission ; and we are fully persuaded
that it is the Minister's determination to
effeft a general peace, and prelerve the
proper balance of power, between Russia
and the Porte, which Teems now only
poflible, but through the interference of
Great Britain and Prussia. The Empress
has hitherto resolutely refufed to accede
to the conditions which these two courts
have thought,fit to infill upon..
How far a fleet of British ships in the
Baltic, and an army of 50,000 Prussians
on the borders of the Ruffian territories
will force the Empress, into an amicable
arrangement, time must determine.
The British fleet destined to the Baltic,
