The imprelinents, better known under the title
Of ConicriPtions, have efetually drained the
interior Of France of all the youthful, hearty,

very near and rapidly advancing, when il will
be found full as difficult for the Republic to re-
crnit her armies BY any means 4Ubatevsr as it is
now found TO re efablifh her finances.
We are aGured from respectable authority
that very ferrous approximations are entertained

HER0HSM or 4 PEASANT.

From thewriting' Of the late HORAce WALFolE.I
THE following generous sdion has always
flruck me extremely there is fomewhat even
Of fubime in it.
A great foundation having taken place in the
north of Italy, owing TO an eTcefive fall of
fnow in the APPS, follwed by ipeedy thaw,
the river Adige carried off bridge near Vero
na, except the middle part, on which was the
houie Of The tollgatherer, or porter, forget
which and who with his whole family, thus
remained imPnloned By the waves, and in mo.
mentary danger Of deAtuaion. They were
dfcovered from the banks, RretcEiug forth
their hands, fcrcaming, and imploring fuccour,
while fragments of this remaining arch were
continually dropping into the water.
In this extreme danger nobleman, who wss
prefent, count of Pnlvsrini, think, held out a
purfe of one hundred lequins, as a reward 10 any
adventurer who would take boat, and deliver
this unhaPpy family. Butthe riIz was 70 great
Of being borne down by the rapidity of the
ltream Of being daihed againt the fragment Of
the bridge, or Of being cruihed by the falling
Cones, that no one in the vaa number of ipec-
tators, had courage enough to attempt 1uch an
exploit.
A peafant, paling along, was informed Of the
proPofed reward. Immediately jumping into a
boat, he, by arength of oars, gained the middle
of the river, brought his boat under the pile /;
and the whole family lately defended, by means
of a rope Courage cried he. Now you
are fate" BY ftill more ltrenuous efforts aud
great arength of arm. he brought the boat, and
family, to thore. +" Brave fellow, exclaimed the
count, handing the purie to him, here is the
promifed recompence." I" mall never expofe
my life for money, anfwered the peafant. My
labour is fuficient livelihood for myfelf, my
wife, and children. Give the Purfe to this poor
family, which has lof all.
