perlons of rank, tonßßing of three Neapolitan'
Noblemen, a Frerich, three Spanish, and an Eng

Anecdote. In the reign of James the 11. the
Court was busy in malting converts to the Roman
Catholic Faith, and some of the new Fapifts pre
tended, on this occalion, tohave'feen visions; and
arriong the rest, so liases tire Comedian, who
profeifed himfelf a convert, declared that the Virgin
Mary had 'appeared tri him. Lord Sunderland
being inf^rrhrid'of'this, lent for him, asked him
hbout the truth of bis coriverfirin, and whether he
Lhd really seen the Virgin? “ Yes, my Lord, I
assure you 'tis a faff."—“ How was it, pray?
why, as I was lying in my bed, the Virgin appeared
id me, andTaid, Arise Joe\" You lie, you rogue,"
replied the EL'l: “ for had it really been the Virgin
herfelf, she should have said, Arise Joseph! at

It is a fad, that one of the toads drank by the
King of Prussia and the Emperor, is, " the Volun
teers of Ireland." The approbation of such cha
fa&ers, proves that there is a dignity in true
patriotism which always commands refped.
Extract of a letter from a merchant in London, to kzs
friend in this city, dated Feb. 5, 1784.
c< I have nothing but bad news to fend yon.
Never did the political hemisphere appear so cloudy;
,11 is darkness and confufion, Ata time when the
National debt amounts to no less a sum than two
hundred and twenty millions, the annual interest
of which is nine millions Rerling; a sum that will
Require the utmrift exertion to raise. We negle&
this most material business to follow the purposes
of felfifh and interested men. No doubt you have
heard of Mr. Fox and his party being turned out,
so make way for Mr. Pitt and his friends; this
young gentleman has nothing but the antiquated
virtues of honesty and inflexible integrity to fuppoit
him; and such is the depravity pf the times, that
his competitors will easily run him down. Mean
time the people aflemble in great numbers, and
seem sensible of the impending danger. In short,
we have loft both the dominion and friendfhip of
America; Ireland too has thrown off every thing
but the most slender appearance of regard for the
dignity of the crown; —In the East-Indies, all iu
rapine and confufion; in all probability the next
dispatch will inform us 6f the loss of the greeted:
part of that oppressed valuable country. The
Weft-Indies are loud in their murmurs and rhnfon
ftrances. Notwithßanding the ftriHnefs of the
laws, and the vigilance of the magistrates, swarms
of mechanics emigrate to your free, happy country."
May 6. For the convcniency of the gentlemen
in trade, it is made known, that the St. Nichola
Mole, will be in future the place, where qll veffeH
going to that part of the world shall be obliged to
fell their cargoes. Large houses of commerce are,
in consequence, beginning to be eftablilhed there,
and in great quantity."

Extras of a letter from a gentleman in London, to his
friend in Virginia, dated March 5, 1784.
" As the people of your part of the globe seem
very fond of importations of all kinds, from foreign
countries, and as you are well acquainted witli my
attachment to the liberties,of mankind, I have
ventured to give you my Sentiments, refpe&ing
certain political manoeuvres that may be made
use of in your state; and as you may call this an
importation, which if deemed worthy to be made
public, may therefore be more attended to, as it
comes from this fide the Atlantic. Your enemies
here, hold forth an idea, that the late peace was
agreed to by Great-Britain, only to gain a hreathihr
Ipell, and that yoter fubjuvatiorrwiil be certain, at
some future day, when Britain shall be prepared to
attack you. Such is the language of the refugees,
an d^ the hopes of all anti-republicans amoffg us.
% In Lie mean time, such of the Anti-Amcricans,
who left you in the day of distress, and who dai;e
venture to return, under the fan&ion of the treaty
of peace, are determined to make thepxperiment,
not doubting, from year good nature and unfufpi
cious dilpofitions, of being restored to the rights
of citizenship —I hose among theifl, who are I'fot
obnoxious, upon being rcß&ed, will endeavour
to get into your public councils, and all of them
will endeavour to get creatures of their own
stamp, (who have remained among you incog,
during f tl-fo late eontch) into four Tegiflative
body, in order to pave the way for a return of
numbers, who otlterwife would not dare to venture.
It is therefore necessary for you to- beware. No
arts, no industry will be wanting among this class,
to deceive and lull you birr futurity. Comply
ftridly with the terms of the definitive treaty, but
be conflantly on your guard, against the arts of
your external and internal enemies, who would
wifli to throw you into confufion, in order, by
some means or other, to obtain their ends. Ec
honeß. Pay your just debts, public an'd privates
Pot your government oh the most Tcfpe&able foot
i n g, and- tllorigh you have bcen so much exhausted
by the late Wk?, as not to be able to pay your debts
immediately, convince the world that you mean to
do it as soon as poflible # 'Let this he done through
out the United States. You Will then have nothing
to fear from tliis quarte?,' or any other. The arts
of the British Court, Who are endeavouring to
depreciate you witli all foreign Rates, will then be
most eßc&ually baffled. Wishing prosperity to
the United States of America in general, and the
ft^te of Virginia in particular, I remain, &c."

ExtraEi of a letter from Wiimfoorouft, dated Junt

ON the eighth of May last, a most extraordi
nary shower or fall of hail, attended with
thunder and lightning fell in this Dillrid, and
along the Banks of the Watefee ; the hail stones,
or rather pieces of ice, meaTured about nine inches
in circumference; it kißed several negroes, a great
number of Ihcep, lambs, geese, and the feathered
inhabitants, of the woods without number: its
greatest violence did not extend more than two
miles in breadth, but wh-re ft began or ended is
not known ; within that space it ftript the trees of
'their leaves and even their birk, and every blade
of grass was beat to the ground. But what is Bill
more astonishing, there are at this time, many
waggon loads of the hail-stones unmelted, lying in
the hollows and gullies on the Waterce. The
truth of the above falls can be teftified by all the
inhabitants of this place.

merchant, who resided at that place during the

payment of a considerable sum of money, which
he generously andvanced on loan to the King of
Spain; and in order to obtain his enlargement, he
was actually obliged to barchafe it at the price of
