THE ARCHBISHOP OF MILAN. = VISCONTI,
the Prelate, who died so suddenly at Lyons, 'had
reached the advanced 'age oreighty years. He-was
remarked for the mildness of his charafter, and the.
heauty of his person. He did not hesitate, at his
time of life, to leave hi.' traycrsC
Mount-Cents for the purpose of meeting the Repre-
sentatives of his Country, and the FIRST CONSiTL
of France. He was accompanied by a Secretary, of
a most, amiable charader, and by a Bookseller of
Ambroisienne, who speaks the French language
with more, purity and correctness than the greater
part of Frenchmen. . The Archbishop was
,a de-
scendant of the antient sovereign Dukea of Milan,
who,. from havingabandOned their 'Principality to
SFORZA, 'in ,repgnance, to .the interest of LiVvls
of Orleans, the husband of VALENTINE TiscoNTl,
gave rise to thOse sears in the Milanese, which, for
a long periO4 rendered that country the burial
place of the French. According to,taronius, The-
ophilas. Reynaud, and other Ecclesiastical Histo
rians, ST. •,AMBROSE, Archbishop 'of Milan, was
born-at Lyons, in the year 333, and his father was
A 'Prefect of the Gauls, It is observable, that the
successor of ST.- .AiitittosE arrived in the native
country of the' Sitln t. on the day .of the Anniversary
of his memory..

The
,purpos'e purpose'' which the late Archbishop of
Mum,: accompanied BONAPARTE, in order to ef-
face froin the Italians all 'apprehensions. that the
French camel,for the' subversion of their leligion,
proves, at least, that- the licentious doctrines' of
modern Philosophy have not obtained' such an ascent
dancy on the Continent as was suppOsed.. It proves
also, that,the Republican Armies found it necessary,
for their success, not to attempt' the destruffion of
RELIGION, which- will afford 'consolation, to man-
kind when all the baneful tenets of a corrupt Philo-
sophy, like their detestable authors, are buried in
oblivion.

The celebrated Physician VAN MARtirk, and. the
Professor PSAFF DE KJEL, have undertaken a grand
Series of Experinients, for the pUrpose of. proving
the nature of Galvanism. They have charged an
Eledrical Battery of 140 square feet, by the con_
tad alone of the tube of Volta, and-have diseover-
ed that this tube excites so strongly, that some of
the explosions far exceed those of the most power
ful Eledrical Machines. They have melted, by
means of Elearicity, thus excited, two inches of
iron wire, and even of wire of Flotilla. They will
publish immediately the result of these experi-
ments.

The reports lately arrived by the, liaiributgh
Mail, relative to VEsTais and his fair companions,
are erroneous; and founded oh a report prevalent at
Paris, which •reached us some days since. ,The fad

denly, with an intention of arriving at Lyons in
time to dance before the First Coniul, hoping that
his zeal on that occasion would pave the way foi
obtaining his Passport to England. •
