It is probable the ‘ Taoblic \fifoon be abliged with a particular Account 1 cf this éman’s Obfervations.” At préfent we can “otly inform our Readers, that Mr. Wintbrop was fa- veur'd enthe Sixth of June with a fine bright Morning; ead had ths Happinefs of viewing with all Advantage, o Phznumenon fo long expeted, and ardently defired by Aftronomers, and fo earneitly recommended by Dr. Hatley to the diligent and accurate Obfervation of the Philciophers of the prefént Day : .. .. & Phzaomenon, which perhaps no Man ever (aw before, except Mr. “H:rrecis; an Englifh Gentleman, more than & Century #gc .. The Tranfit, we are inform’d, did not end at §t.

On the 14th of fune the Snow Swift, Mathias Roche mz¥sr, was taken between Mo/nferrn, and the Rock D lve by two French Perriaugres, and carried to an cu: oy in Dominico, where the Captain and three of his Men cut ier out; and brought herand cargn, fale into Menferrat, We hear izom Fyal, that a French Privateer has taken #nd carried to that Port,a Ship belonging to Philadelphia, “which Ship was fuld at the above Place, L: O Ny D &) N. Brozs, in France, Apri! 11. Thnere happened a very whimfical affair op the 2d inft. at Touloule. Four Savoyeard Chimney Sweepers having finifhed every thing in the way of their proieflion, and not havirg a penny left to provide either vi€tuals or drink, took asefolution _to lift, which they execnied sbout fix in the Evening. ‘The Caprain gave them two Louis d’Ors a man, but “tho’t it neceffary, by way of precantion, to lock them into an empty kitchen, with fevera] flaggons of wine. As long as the liquor lafted they were quiet enongh, but as foon as it was exhaufted, they began to think of muking their efcape. They were not long in fertling that point ; there was a large chimney before them, which they mounted with their ufusl dexterity, and being fairly got to the top of the houfe they there held a cauncil of war, in which it was unsnimoulfly refolved to g0 down another chimney. The firft tumbled into a _ great fire, out of which he jumped, covered with foec and duft, into the midit of the floor, and was immedi- ately followed .by his three companions, The place happened to be a gaming houle, and the operators at the great table in the midft of the apartment, taking thefe adventurers far fo meny devils ftariing out o ran down Rairs as faft asthey could, and left them. This the Savoyards feized, end in an inflant re- mounted the chimney, and rusnirg over thetop of the houle, defcended sgain into their cld apertment, juft a3 the officer opened the door to bricg them fome pre- vilicns. They offered him his money again, with a rea'onable profit, which was at laft fixed for z5 Louis d'Ors for theirdilcharge. The fellows are now hére, and are very quietly reierned to their old occupation. Fhe two men lately arrived at Cologn, fay, that they ‘ere come by the order of Heaves, to tarn men to re- pentance. They fay that the world will infallibly be st an end in 1773. They are going to be carried 16 Rome, and were atfirt put into irons, when they were glad of that opportunity of proving the truth of their miffion by breaking-their irons afunder. They fay that T be war ewill be gensral in 176¢, Conflantinople defiriyed in 1766. The true Gid acknowledged by all matiows iz 1767, A valiant man give bis teflimory todis 1768, England overflised 1769. An eartbquake all over the world 1770. The fall of the jun, moon and flars 1771, The glebe of the carth burne 1772, T be univerfal Judgment 1773. The French envoy at Cologn has received srders to ‘examine them ftrictly, .
