A FACT. A widow lately at Paria, aged about 63, who lodged in a two pair ctf stairs fl*or, id the Rue da la Fcrroniers, with only a iiMiid> servant, was accuatomed to speo(tl*«nl hours every day before the altsV d^^ted to 8t. Paul, in a neighouring eSuTCh— bono villians, observing her extreme bi»» otrj, resolved as she was known to be rich, to share her wealth. One of them accor* dingly twjk the opportunity to conceal him self behind the carved work of the altar, and, when no person but the old lady was there, in the dusk of the evening he coa- trived to throw a letter just before her. She took it up, and not perceiving any oae near, suppos^ it. came by a miracle. la thi.s she was the more confirmed when she saw it signed Paul the Apostle, expressing the satisfaction be receiv^ by her prayers addressed to him, when so many newly canonizod saints engrossed the devotion of the world, and robbi^ ths primitive saints of the wonted adoration: and to show hUi regard for the devotee, he promised to coma from Heaven, with the angel Gabriel, anil sup with her at eight in the evening. It seems scarcely credible that any one could bo deceived by so gross a fraud; yet to what length of cr^ulity will not super* stition carry a weak mind! Ths infatuat* ed lady believed the whole ; and rose from bar kuees in transport, to prepare an enter* tainment for her heavenly guests. The supper being bespoke and the side* board set out to the best advantage, she thought that her own plate, worth about /400, did not make so elegant an appear ance as might be wished, and therefore sent to her brother, a Counsellor, in the Parlia* ment of Paris, to borrow all his plate. The maid, however, was charged not todiscloso the occasion, but only to say that she had company to supper, and would be obliged to him if he would lend his plate for tnat evening. The Counsellor surprised at th« application, well knowing hts sister's frugal life, began to suspect that she was enamour* ed of s»jme fnrlune hunter, who might mar ry her, and thus deprive his family of what he expected at his sister’s death. He there for© positively refused to send the plate, unless the maid would tell him what guesta were expected.

I Qcver saw Detore. lady had no thoughts of a husband, bot St. Paul having sent her a letter from heaven, promising that he and the angel Gabriel would sup with her, she wanted to make the entertainment as elegant as possible. The Counsellor immediately suspected that some villians had imposed on her; and sending the maid with the plate, proceeded directly lo the commissary of that quarter. —On the magistrate’s going with him to a house adjoioing, they saw just betbre eight o’clock, a tall man dressed in long vest ments with a white beard, and a youn^ man in white with large wings at his shoul ders, alight from a hackney coach, and go up to his sister’s apartments. The commissiary immediately ordered twelve of the policc guards to post them selves on the stairs, while he knocked at the d»>or and desired admittance. The la dy replied that she had company and could not speak to any one. But the commissary . ., answered that he must come in, for that ho 3n, always in a hurry, yet I St. Peter, and had come te ask St. opportunities of bettering | h„^ ,hey catiHr out of heaven w ithout his knowledge. The “divine” visitors were astonished at this, not expecting any more saints to join them; but the lady overjoyed at having so great an apostle w ith her, ran eargerly to the door, when the commissary, her brother, and the police guards rushed in, presented their muskets, seized her guests, and con ducted tliein to prison. On searching the criminals, two cords, a mzor,and a pistol, were found in St. Paul's pocket, and that a gag in that of the ongel tJabriel. Three davs after the trial camo on; when they pleaded in their defence, that one was a soldier in the French ininnt- ! ry, and the other n barber’s apprentice— that they had no other design than to pro- cure a good supper at the widow’s expense that it being carnival time, they had bor- rowed these dresses, and the soldier having pickrd up the cords, put them into his pock et that the razor was that with which ho had constantly shaved himself—that tho pistol was to defend them fro.n any insult.?, to which their strange habits might expos# them in going home—and that ths appren tice, w hose master wx.s tooth drawer, mere- ly had the gag, which they sometimes use in their business. These excuses, frivolous as they were, proved of some avail; and as they had manifested no evil design by aa overt act, they were both acquitted. But the ceunsellor who foreww what might happen through the defect o( evidence, had prepared another stroke for them. No sooner, thor^forp, were tht*y discharpca from the civil power, than the apporitor ot the archbishop of Paris immediately seized them and coiiTeyed them to the ecclesias tical prison.
