This virtuous man, in the first part OF his DAYS
was the greatest Of all the men ofthe East" His
possessions were lsrge his family was numerals
and hourlshng; his own character was fair and
olameless yet this person it pleased God to visi,
with extraordinary reverses OF fortune. He was
robbed OF his whole substance. His sons and dauph.
ters all persisted; and he himself fallen from his
high estate, chidess and reduced TO poverty. was
smltten with sore disease. His friends came about
him seemingly with the purpose OF administering
comfort; but, from harsh and i'll founded con.
struction OF the intention Of Providence in his dis
asers, they only added 10 his SORROWS by unjust nm.

FROM THE LIVERPOOL MERCURY, NOVEMBER q,
The king OF France is not expe, led to live more
than month or TWO. Private adyices furnish d,
gushing catalogue OF his infi mites; produced, il
alleged, by an indulgence in sensuali,y and the
pleasure Of the bon rirant. However this may be,
and charity forbids the assumption ofthe worst, The
certainty Of his approaching dissolution may be
learned from the following paragraph in the Cour.
