, The present fituatfon of the KING OF BOHE
MIA is truly deplorable. He has loft, forever,
the Provinces of Aullrian Flanders ; and they
were understood to contain three millions of inha
bitants, loyal, industrious, and poficffiug more rea
dy money than all the rest of his [objects put to
gether -'
,He has, indeed, acquired a large increase of
territory on the Turkilh frontier ; but this cost jo.
feph an enormous expence, and the lives of at least
15,000 men..

Tuefday morning last, three white men went to
the house of one Houfland, a very reflectable and
industrious mulatto man, whilst he was attending
market (which was his daily praflice) tied his wife
and a negro boy h^nd and foot (who were all in the
family) and then proceeded to plunder. They took
all the cash he had in his house, which is reported
to have been about 1501,
YORK, JUNE 2.
WE hear, that about fix o'clock, on Thursday
- evening last, one of the fi,vereft and most tremen
dous thunder storms, that has ever been remember
ed in thole parts, happened at Wright's Ferry, on
the Sufquehannah. The form was accompanied
with a quantity of large hail, which has done con
siderable damage to the fruit trees, wheat and o
ther grain. Mr. Jbfeph Jeffries had a barn and
tables unrooffed and a great dumber of apple trees
, in his orchard were torn up by the roots. Three
men, together with two young girls, belonging to
a plantation adjoining Mr. Jefferies's, were at
work iri the woods when the gust came on; they
unfortunately took fhelcer under a large tree, which
by the violence of the wind was blown down, and
killed two of the men, the o;her providentially es
caped unhurt ; one of the girls had her arm fradur
ed and the other her leg broken. We do not hear
of any other damage that has been sustained by this
Form. .

PARIS, MAYI.
AEEW days ago, in the evening, a fire broke
out at Avefnele-Compte,a town four leagues
from Arras, whiph reduced to ashes 125 houses. It
is remarkable, that 84 houses were last year destroy
ed by fire at the fame place.
A new species of robbery has been discovered
within these few days : a fellow of the name of Plain
has a young woman who stays with him, and She is
sent outin the evening to decoy the Jimple ones, and
such as are void of understanding, to the thieves'
de,n. There (he and her associates contrive to pick
the poor gull's pocket; and if any noise of r^mon
flrance is made, the fellow bursts outof a closet with
a drawn fwcrd,and threatens instant death forufing
freedom with his wife. They are then turned out,
after mroy oaths and menances, and desired to be
quiet, left vengeance overtake them. If"it is a mar
ried man who is hooked in his cups,and complains
of the loss of his money, sometimes the sword is put
up in the scabbard, and he is threatened with ex
posure for Crim. con. A Granger who was robbed
of eight or nine guineas has brought all to light!
and this pretty pair are now in goal 0 Hand trial,
We have heard of such fceues of iniquity in Lon
don and Dublin, but this is the firfl instance of the
kind here.
