text that he could not rely on the garrison.

the westward of Montauk,1 during the dense
fog that prevailed, at s clock, Monday morn

At the time the purser left her she had not
sprung leak, and it was thought her freight
might be got out without much damage.
The Franklin is said to have been fully in
sured in New York, Boston and Philadelphia
offices. The ship and cargo are valued at half
a million. The general opinion of the pas
sengers is that she will be total loss, being,
as one expresses it, high and dry en- the beach.
The latest authentic report is, that the
Franklin draws eighteen feet of water, that
she lies i'll sixteen feet of water perfectly

D1rr1ouLr TO SuIT.-The unsettled state
of the weather, has sorely puzzled the Arch
bishop of Paris. Three weeks ago, he offered
up prayers for rain, and issued orders to the
clergymen of his diocese to join him in his
PRAYERS. His wishes have been SO fully full
filled, that his reverence, like the rest of the
public, is astonished and alarmed at his own
success. He prayed for rain, and he has got
more than he wanted. In the hope of stop
ping the supply, he resolved on issuing orders
to his clergy to offer up new prayer but
the difficulty was, to know what he should ask
for. If he asked for dry weather, it might
become too dry, and injure the potatoes if
for hot weather, it might become too hot. He
has consequently issued second circular to
his clergy, in which he gets over the difficulty
by taking an ambiguous course, and instead
of asking for warm, hot, dry, or any other
particular weather, he directs his clergy to
pray "for weather propitious to the fruits of
the earth.''
