and permitting the mdew and the food to
disappoint the hopes of the husbandman, and
to remind us of our daily dependence on His
merciful Providence; for granting US diversi-
fed and undeserved enjoyments; for the diff
fusion of knowledge; and above all, for con-

ence of the gospel ofpeace:

The PROsPECT.-HOw cheering to ever,
PATRIOTS the prospect which late events have

FROM THE CRIMINAL. RECORDS.
In the Village pf Poin,-de-Vaux, in the then
Province of Bresse, now the Department of Am
lived Jean Cape; an industrious money getting
tie-maker.
In the same department lived, also, VI. Julien.
Gaufridy, whom the King had honored success
sively with The Offices Of Notary, Commis>ion-
CIR, Receiver, Procureur Fiscal, and do not
know how many besides. The lovers Of abb
stract merit (Ihere are net many respected his
uprightness: thu loaf and fish seekers, who o.
pened their mouths for the fragments Of office
like the gaping Of dry oyster, had the utmost
regard for his rank; while the poor devils, whom
circumstances or propensities rendered unbe-
levers in the excellence OF that canon, which
for5ids men to do evil that good may come,
feared his power.
NJ. Gaufridy proposed to purchase Jean Ca2es
kiln; but lriaing difference of opinion pre-
ssnred difhcul,y-the pa,rician offered too
little, and the citizen asked too much-so
