our leaders will recoiled that fume time ago are pee a thin of
Anecdotes and Obfervations, under. the title of Gar.meswa.
The greater part was fttroitbcd by that excellent (choler. critic.,
and friend, Mr. &terser). We have lately found a conaderable
number of limiter OM:mations and Anecdotes, by the fame In-
defatigable and judicious Colleetor. There we mesa to con-
done. interfpnfed with communications from different guar.

When the Poet ROSSINI was in prifun, expelling
the execution of the fentence pronounced spina him
by Robefpierre, his pi&ure was drawn by an eminent
vial, to be fent to his wife and children He wrote
the following verfes t.. be placed under it

Thus tranflated by a Young Lady :
Firkier not, ohjeas of my fondeß care,
If tide pale Inapt the figns of Milers wear;
For while the Painter's art my features drew,
I faw my fcaffuld, and I thought of you!
Two Jews have lately been diftinguiffied, one fot
his !kill in pugilifm, the other for his Tondnefs for
the fair fez. A gentleman being afked "to what
tribe they belonged?" anfwered: " I rather think one
is a Millie, the other an Anorite."
Icon MASll.—This unfortunate perfon was the
twin brother of Lewis XIV. His father, Lewis XIII.
gave credit to a prediainn, that if the Queen fhould
be delivered of twins, the Kingdom would be in-
solved in civil wars ; and therefore ordered the birth
of this Prince to be kept fecret, and educated him as
dral fon of a N9bleman. On the acceffion of
1.,;%,,. XIV. a lufpicion arofe that the young ono
had dile )sered his parentage, and the King ordered
him to wear an !ran MA and to be imprifoned for
life. He made frequent inquiries refpcOing him, and
Toothed his captivity with the gentleft treatment.—
"' I'Ley now order this matter better in France."

. to the r:tddle age, the bigotry of the Catholic
Clergy di tared the croft inhuman abfurdi ies. The
Church, on the confecration of a Prince, made him
tfwear that he would exterminate all Heretics; or. in
i other ...orris, destroy nine tenths of the world !
, Lewis XIV. fubmitted to this rite ; but he publifbed
a declaration, that 1-.:sr Protetlant fubjetis were not
1 eorfidered as Heretics in the oath of extermination.
EARLY Disrosirson.—Le Bann, the celebrated
painter, at four years of age, took coals from the
fire to draw figures on the fl•sor. Ski SILWIN. who was
by nature deigned for a painter, in order to be re-
venged on an elder brother, who had beat him, faid
to him : " I will raife the Devil to punifh you." He
then drew upon the floor fo frightful a pieure, that
both the brothers Rood motionlefs with horror, uutil.
their father came to break the fpell.
The modern Afpatia, the celebrated NINON as
