The Monkey, of the 54alt inflant, contains the
following article, under the head of London. Sep-
tember II :
f. Since the Miniffers have been informed of the
ar ival of the Emperor of the French at Boulogne.
they have taken fo many meafures for recto ity, that
there is not a village in which four or five of thefe pre-
cautions have not been adopted. Yet dill the public
mind is not without uneafinefs, and for the IA fort-
night our fituation has affumed a mnrefinetre afpelt.
What appears to be a bad prognoßic, is the apathy
of a numerous clafs of the people, who affect to laugh
at the events which others fear the moll ; and that,
not from a confcioufnefs of force, and the idea of
public fecurity, but born indifference to whatever
may happen. Another more dangerous dais, is that
which feems to with to profit by the Rate of anxiety
and the cash to give thcmfelves up to licentioufnels
and diforder. is very common to fee perfons full
ofjny at the idea of the moment's approaching, which
they believe to be favourable to civil tumults. An
opinion very generally circulated, and which, unhap-
pily, the condud of the Government has already juf-
tified to a certain point, is, that all the prifons would
be opened as loon as the French bet foot upon Eng-
nth ground; and. as it is probable, that that will hap-
pen a little fooner or later, perfons rilk nothing by
getting into prifon, and, confequently, that chance
is little in comparifon with that of gaining money by
illicit practices. Yet, we mull fay, that Government
redouble their attention, zeal, and rigour, to prevent
the influence or the revolutionary ideas which are
develnping in a thouland ways, and on all fides. to
repref; feditious movements, and to check party fpi-
rit and defertion. A crowd of (pits pervade the
kingdom. The Magiflrates are every wneie active
and vigilant, and it is hoped they will be able to Item
the tot rent. With borne exceptions, the public ipirit
is kept tip among the proprietors. But they will loon
be rendered difcontented, if the Government continue
to employ, under pretence of the public fafety and
the national defence, an infinity of vexatious means
to which our nation is not accuflomed, and which it
would not undoubtedly bear, but from the conlidera-
tion of an imminent danger."
Lately, nearly at midday, the inhabitants of the
village of St. Nicolas, 55 leagues from Munich, were
alarmed by a :wife retembling the difcharge of a bat-
tery. The dry was darkened, and a whittling in the
air was very perceptible. In a moment a mafs fell
upon an adjacent barn. On exaniinaticn, the roof
was broken in where the blow was received, and a
firong matter was ditiovered of a fulphureous fmcll
above the ordinary temperature. Its weight was
about three pounds four ounces.
