Society does not admitof any dominant or

only orators, who, while delivering pene 
difcouries, ftand at the altar. The fervice 
is divided into that of worfhip, and of in- 
ftrudtion 3 the obje& of the former being 
to thew the greatne({s of God, by directing 
our attention to the admirable regularity 
which reigns in all the prodyétions of 
Nature. For this _purpofe they affemble 
every Suniay, at fix or feven o’clock in 
the evening. The fervice of intruétion 
is held every fifteenth day, whea they dif- 
courfe about different fubjects, and parfi- 
cularly reveaed religion. Six times each 
year they affemble to celebrate the Lord’s 
Supper; and during the prayer and the 
bleffing the whole congregation continues 
proftrate. The Dutch clergy have {trongly

- In Therniidor, year 11, certain con- 
ftru€tors of the public roads found, while 
digging undér the old road leading to 
*Toulon, a leaden cheit, about four feet in 
Jengih. In the chett were the bones of an 
individual who had not yet attained the 
age of puberty. Among other remains of 
the fkelcton was a golden ornament, 
round, and rather bigger -than a finall 
hand-bell. This ornament had a turning-

“joint, or hinge, to open it, but no ring tq 
fufpend it by. Tt was undoubtedly’ a 
golden dul/a belonging to the infant whofe 
remains were depofited in the cheft.— 
Thefe bones had not been burnt. There 
is no fmall difference between this dvlla 
and that which was found in the porphyry. 
urn, in the Tower of the Maufoleum at 
Lyix, de'cribed by M. de Saint Vincent. 
This lait, both in refpeét of form and 
workimanfhip, might well belong to the 
lower ages, perhaps to the fi'th or fixth 
centuries. Clofe by. the leaden chelt ftood 
a fepulcheal lamp, and at alittle diftance 
there lay a {mall vafe, with a narrow 
neck ; the whole without ornaments.—. 
At the diftance of twenty-five or thirty 
paces from the aboveementioned firft dil- 
covery, fome pieces of {culpture of the 
natural f.ne of the country have been 
found ; viz. a head, the nofe of which is 
truncated, fome trophies of arms, a co- 
loffal head, reprelenting the mafque of a 
woman with the mouth open, and feein-~ 
ingly proper for the ornament of a foun- 
tain. Among fome of thefe {culptures have 
been found deniers of Henry IV. and of 
Louis XIIT.; and there can be little 
doubt but that thefe actually belong to 
the times laft-mentioned. ‘The bulla, the 
lamp; the vafe,. and the fragments of 
{culpture, have been removed to the houle 
of Citizen Tuipeneau, Counfellor of 
Stare, and Prefect at Marfeilles.
