FRANKFOR I', February 5.
A Soldier in the garrison of a small towi of Pruf-
f m fian Silesia, being fufpe&ed of making free
with the offering's made by the pious Roman Ca
tholics to a celebrated image of a wonder working
\'irgin, he was watched, and upon his being Search
ed, two hlver hearts Were found , upon him. He
was, dragged before the Magistrate, imprisoned,
tried, and doomed to death, as a sacrilegious rob
ber. In the course of his trial he constantly denied
his having committed a theft, but that the Virgin
heifelf, in pity to ms poverty, had ordered him to
take the above offerings; The fcnten.be, with the
prisoner's defence, was, ds usual, laid before the
King. His Majdfty conversed with fevcral of the
Popifh Divines, asking them whether such a mira
cle was possible, according to the tenets of their
religion. Ihey unanimously answered, that the
case was very extraordinary, but not abfolurcly
impossible; upon which the King wrote in his
own hand the following words:.
Ihe culprit cannot be put to death, because
be positively denies the charge, and that the Di
vines of Iris religion declare, that tire miracle
wrought in his favour is not impossible ; but we
ftri&ly forbid him, under pain of death, to receive,
in future, any 'prefent front the Virgin Marv, or
any Saint wliatfoever.

ROTI ER I)7x;{, Apr! } ;
On Sunaay night this, -whole City was in an
uproar. The Burgher company, Lieut. Colonel
Jean Jacob Elfevier, whole turn it was to mount
guard at the Stadhouie, had drdwn up as usual for
that purpose under L : eut. Swyndrecht, when they
were availed by a very numerous mob, crying
vivat Orange! (long live the Prince of Orange)
who threatened to force the two of the Burghers'
whom they particularly disked, from their links;
the company attempted to inarch to their poll, but
the croud was so great they could not go on ; or
ders tyere then given to fire; which they did, and
wounded Seven br eight people. As soon as this
was heard at the Stadthouie, the alarm bell was
rung, the firing dispersed the mob for a few mi
nutes, but they soon assembled in greater force
and when the company got to the Stadthoufe they
were most violently attached and obliged to fire
several times; and many persons were killed ; two
or tnree of the foremoll in the affray were taken
and put into confinement; two of |he'wounded are
dead, and fix are dying: there are a vast number
wounded—in the morning every thing seemed
q^iet. On Sunday night Mr. Wierop's company
mounted guard, having mostly orange-coloured
cockades in their hats. The disturbances seems at
this moment, to be increasing ; there is an immense
mob about the Stadthoufe, and they demand, firh,
that the prisoners be releaied,fecondly, that the Yo-
Steers (a corps in opposition to the Orange in
terest) be abolished; and thirdly, a fiat to the re
quest of the Burghers. All the place is in an up
roar. God grant us a fpbedy end to this disturb
ance. But we fear that it will have some dreadful
consequences, as it seems to be a contest between
the Orange interest and the opposite party.
LONDON, March 26.
Extract of a letter from Copenhagen^ March g.
f "' migrations from out of Holstein, have
lately been so great, on account of the
encouragement which the American States give to
foreigners fettling among them, that the King has
found it necessary to public an ordinance, forbid
dmg, under neavy penalties, any person leaving
the Dariifh dominions without licence; and even
fuco as go to St. Croix, or St. Thomas, are by
this new hatiite io give bond for their return, -or
security for their fettling in those provinces. Jews
are hereby alfq reftri&d from removing their pro
perty, and mips of any nation whatsoever having
fucn peifons on board, without the proper pafr
ports, are liable to feizufe, as having contraband
goods on board.
“ Mr. Dana; the American Consul in this
City, lias just finifhed the treaties of commerce
between the King and the United States, by an
article of which the two Powers are reftri&ed
from importing such articles as are the produce of
each other."
Ihe Great Seal that Was stolen, is not gold, but,
hlver gilt—is, fromits weight, worth from twelve
to twenty pounds. Ore would imagine, from the
robbing of the Chancellor's house being the fold
topic of coriverfat ton, amongfl all ranks of people,
that the Great Seal had never been loft before; but
a correspondent informs us (and a very remarkable
^ircumhance it is) that a similar accident happened
in the unfortunate reigns of John, Charles the firfl,
and James the second.
— T^^ 2 9° The King's fpeeth, announcing the
diifolutiou, seems to be a mafler piece of eloquence,
01 penmanship, such as has rarely issued from the
Throne for many years past, It looks as if right
reason and found policy had taken hold of our
helm of State, to guide our ship into a haven of
fafety and permanent tranquility.
‘ he accident which has befallen the Great Seal
bf Englan-, is of such a mysterious intricate nature,
accompanied with such circumstances, at this par
ticular time, that we ckufe to fay little about it,
until the Miniflefs of justice shall have made some
progress to developc the matter.
t.ver since the calamity at Sicily, thq ideas of
earthquakes are so prevalent in all parts of Italy,
0 apuLnoiL every letter fi-nn that quarter of the
world, has fome-reference to either flight or fanci
ful vibrations of the earth, the people being con
".T'y °ppreffed with apprehensions of a similar
visitation.

Extract .of a letter from Naples',Fcbrnai - ip.
" His Majesty the King of Sweden, having
expressed a delire to fee the experiment of the Air
Balloons, there was yesterday a grand exhibition
by order of the Court of Naples, and in the pre
sence of their Majesties. Perhaps it was the noblest
light the human eye was ever yet regaled with;
Imagine ah immense globe of 150 feet diameter,
and 20b in height, gilt, and bearing On the top an
enormous crown, sparkling with well imitate d,
precious flones of various colours. Imagine, that
to this globe was annexed a building of the moi
beautiful architecture, of the Doric < rder, for; red
of purhice-ftone, and surrounded by a terrace or
gallery, railed in, with orange and lemon twes;
Imagine, I fay, this wonderful machine; rising
majestically to the Heavens, in a clear sky at noon,
in light of an applauding multitude, carrying with
it an orchestra of eight capital performers, whole
music, for the short time it could be heard, had a
inoft sublime effect. In about 27 minutes it lad ,
disappeared by a perpendicular ascent; not could
the people discover any appearance of it by the
best telescopes. It was exactly twelve o'cloU when
the machine began to rife, and at two it bad not
been again visible. An anxiety seemed to prevail
amongfl all the fpeßators, some offering up prayers
for the fafety of the travellers, whilst others Were
of an opinion that God had taken them into Hea
ven. But their acclamations were exceflßm, when
at 13 minutes after three, they observed a small
speck in the air, at an immense dihance, out which
soon shewed itfelf to be the wifned for machine,
which gradually defeended till it reached the earth,
at about a mile distant from the place of its ascent;
