VIII. Origin of the Hugonots.

HUGO Aubrict, who by merit had gained the esteem of Charles V. of France, was invested with the dignity of provost.of Paris when Charles VI. mounted the throne. He shewed himself worthy of that important post by the eare which he took for the maintenance of good order, for the embellishment of the city, and for the convenience of its inhabitants. He had contributed to the wholesomeness of the air, and to the neatness of the streets, by means of subterraneous channels, of which he was the inventor. He had built many bridges, in order to facilitate the communication between various quarters of the city, and he employed on these different works the beggar, the idle, in a word, those unhappy wretches whom indigence and want of work rendered enemies to the state. Every thing manifested his distinguished zeal for the public good; but he had offended the university, and that ruined him; the students, most of them men grown, proud of their numbers, and of their pri vileges, frequently abandoned themselves to scandalous excesses. The provost, attentive to the public tranquillity, treated them with all the rigor that their repeated enormi-. ties deserved; he had ordered his serjeants to seize them wherever they committed disorders, and to confine them in the dungeons of the little Chatelet, which he had caused to be dug on parpose for them. The members of the university spared no pains to take the most cruel revenge on him; they made private inquiries into the morals of this rigid provost, and when they thought their proofs sufficient, they cited him before the ecclesiastical tribunal. At first, de

pending on the protection of the court, he despised their prosecution; but the credit of his adversaries' prevailed over the favor of princes; he was arrested, and carried to the prison of the spiritual court, and on the evidence of some witnesses, (such as they were) condemned as a bad catholic, intemperate, debauched, as an encourager of women of dissolute lives, particularly of Jewesses, in short, as a Jew and a Heretic. He would have been burnt alive, if the court had not mitigated his sentence. He was obliged to mount a scaffold, and there bare-headed, and without a girdle, he was forced on his knees to ask pardon, in the presence of a crowd of people. The rector, at the head of the university, assisted at this melancholy spectacle, and the bishop of Paris, dressed in his pontifical robes, publicly preached to the accused, and concluded with condemning him to end his days in a dungeon, with bread and water only for his support. Hugo Aubrict was released the year after, by the same populace, who had joyfully assisted at his punishment. It is from this provost of Paris that the Protestants have been called Hugonots, an injurious appellation used in France to signify the enemies of the church. 1764, June.

IX. A particular and authentic Account of the Escape of CHARLES EDWARD STUART, commonly called the Young Chevalier, after the Battle of Culloden.

THE battle of Culloden was fought on the 16th of April, 1746; and the young chevalier having his horse shot through the neck with a musket ball, and seeing the rout among his troops universal and irretrievable, was persuaded to provide for his own safety as well as he could. He was soon mounted on a fresh horse, and, accompanied by a few chosen friends, he retreated by Tordurock, a village about nine miles from Inverness, to Aberardar, about three miles farther in Mackintosh's country; thence to Faroline, fivè
