" The Bifhops, Curates, and

 ofOrleans, being at a card-party 

 at Paris, fat down to play and 

 loft his money ; which when 

 he was going to pay, he found 

 his pi'.rfe was gone. His High- 

 nefs fearched his pockets, and 

 made enquiries of feveral per- 

 f9n3 near him, if they had in a 

 joke taken it off the table i' 

 Which on their declaring very

 fions, and the fpirit of oppofi-

 vernment is manifefted in con- 

 tinual fires, which have extend 

 ed to the fuburbs of Pera and 

 Gal.ita. Thoufands of houfes

 May, a fire broke out in the 

 city of Breflaw, in Gernriany ; 

 the flames communicated with 

 fuch rapidity from houfe to 

 houfe, that notwithftanding the 

 mofl fpeedy affiltance was given,

Berlin, Jum 10. A very un-
