REMARKABLE ROBBERY.--A singular event
has occurred at St. Claude (Jura;) an individual,
pursued by one of the Gens d'Armerie, escaped
his pursuers, and took refuge almost in a state of
nudity, at the house of a Cure, some distance
from St. Claude. To account for his appearing
in this plight, and making so precipitate an en-
trance, he announced himself as -the Grand Vicar
of the Bishop, who was immediately to take
possession of the Bishopric of St. Claude, and
stated that he had been attacked by robbers in
the adjacent wood, who had taken from him all
his property, together with his apparel, and that
it was a miracle he had escaped with life. Con-
ducted by his host to the house of another Cure,
he repeated the same tale; his new host received
him with the greatest kindness, and with the re-
spect due to his supposed rank in the hierarchy,
offered him the best apparel, a gold watch, and
25 louis (all the venerable Pastor possessed,)
which the pretended Grand Vicar very
readily accepted. They then set out for
St. Claude, where, having learnt the resi-
dence of the Cure, they proceeded thither ;
the Cure was absent, and a messenger was
sent to inform him that the Grand. Vicar wished
to see him : the Pastor hastened to come, but in
consequence of his age and infirmities, had no
sooner reached his house, than he found himself
so much indisposed, that he was obliged to re-
tire to his bed. The pretended .Grand Vicar
expressed a desire to remain alone with him for
a few minutes, and his companion retired. The
impostor then produced a brace of pistols, de-
manded -the Cure's keys, and having possessed
himself of all his valuable portable property, he
succeeded in making his escape.—(Journal du
Commerce.) •
