FOREIGN AFFAIRS, 1752. 339

INCE our last we have from Paris

the following accounts relating to their religious difputes, viz. Towards the end of last month, the curate of St. John Greve went to the attorney-general to inform him, that he was defirous to juftify himself to the parliament, and to give an account of the motives for his behaviour of which the archbishop of ; Paris being advifed, he obtained a letter of cachet, and carried off the curate, who has not been heard of fince. By this it would feem, that the court was then inclinable to the clergy; and this, perhaps, encouraged them to prefent a petition to the king foon, after, which was figned by 22 prelates, exclaiming against the proceedings of the parliament, and vindicating the conduct of the archbishop.

But this has had an effect quite contrary to what was intended, for the archbithop of Paris has been banished to his country-house at Confians; and the king has not only approved of the proceedings of the parliament, but fignified to them, that they may continue their pursuits. And the old curate of Stephen du Mont, having, in a letter to the pope, applied to himself that paffage in fcripture, which fays, that the Jews fhall wander about, and be difperfed over the face of the earth, the king refolved to fix this troublesome priest's habitation, by ordering him to be confined in the dungeon of the saftle of Vincennes.

M. Dalibard, who frequently exhibits electrical experiments, got a bar of iron, or rather feveral joined together, to the length of 50 or 60 feet, erected at a village 7 or 8 miles from Paris, on the road

to Compeigne: It was fufpended by filken cords, and rested on glafs bottles; fo that fuppofing it could be electrified, it would not part with its virtue. One day a cloud paffed over and difcharged a clap of thunder, at which time M. Dalibard could draw fparks of fire from the bar, even at the distance of feveral inches. The fathes and fparks produced the pricking fenfations as thofe from the con ductor in the ufual experiments. The diverging lucid ftream was feen to issue from the pointed end of the bar; and every thing concurred to prove indifpu tably, that the bar was strongly electrified by the cloud. A gentleman, who affifted at the experiment, upon flightly touching the rod unawares, received a violent ftroke on his arm, and his clothes fmelt all over of fulphur. The whole academy was entirely fatisfied with the account, which clearly proved, that the matter of thunder and electricity is one and the fame thing; and that it was practicable to extract thunder from a cloud, and direct it which way we plcafe. (See p. 326.)

June 26, died at Placentia, in Italy, the famous cardinal Alberoni, in the 89th year of his age; who from being the fon of a poor gardener in the fuburbs of that city, raifed himfelf to be prime minister in Spain, and contributed to the awakening of that kingdom out of the lethargy it had been in for more than a century before. He has left his eftates in Lombardy to the college of St. Lazarus, and the revenues of thofe in Romagna to his nephew during life, and after his death they likewife go to the fame college.
