• ExtraS of a Utter from Petris, Augujl iz.
“ You would be astonished at the number of English that
are in this city; it is impoifible to pass thro’ a lingle street
without meeting them; they are so profufe in their expenccs
that the French cannot be perfuadea there is a poor Englilh
nufn in the world. Assure yourfelf the French are meditat
ing a heavy blow against England, and it will soon take ef
fect, if the ministry can compass the abolilhment of the
FarmersGentral, and lay an equal tax on the people;
they will by this means increase the revenue 300 millions of
livres, and get rid of 00,000 collectors* somewhat refembl
iig our excifemen tnerefore detestable. The aim of the
French ministry Teems to be to get a strong body of men in
the Weft-Indies, before they declare themselves; for this
pnrpofe there is scarcely a single Ihip fails for the iffands
without soldiers on board it. The English who are here on
the spot talk very freely among themselves of an approaching
rupture, and indeed every thing bears the appearance of it.
How this will be relilhed in England you bell know who
are on the spot.”
Extra3 of a letter from Dunkirk, dated August 20.
“ Believe none of the reports relative to the demolition
of the works of this place.—The cunette, it is true, is de
ll roved, and a few of the outworks, which might be re
built in a month ; but the great canal, .which is capable of
holding 60 men of war, is still, together with its sluices, in
excellent order: they seem to have no intention of destroying
it, neither will any of the fortifications be demolilhed which
can be of any future use to them: there are, it is true, fome
workmen who leem to be doing something, but if they go
on at the (tew rate th by now do, Ihould it be the intentioiuof
the French to demolim these fortifications, the work would
be seven years about. I need only tell you, that they have
begun the work at the wrong end, to convince you they are
not in earned. **
