A letter from a difiinguilhed
American officer now in Londo,
has the following pointed para
graph
“Therumors from France are
contradiftory ; one moment they
are without an army, and then they
arejh -gieat force on the Lore : but
--s Here is one .thing certain, they are
playing the devil in Pays by con
tribution, &c. he. Such condi|d
will only exasperate the rest oi the
nation to hold out the longer, for
Paris wasgiven up under a conven
tion that the allies were not to en
ter it, yet they have done so, and
quartered the ioldiers in every
houle. What would any nation
think of a king who would Aider
a foreign general to lay contribu
tions on the inhabitants or his capi
tal, and he residing in it at the fame
time, which has been the case with
Blucher at the head of rhePruffians;
this convinces me that the Englilh
hac but a fecoudary hand in inarch
ing to Paris, and that the Prufiians,
not the Britiih, as it was Hated here,
drove the French army before them
through Fiance **
The latt r opinion seems support
ed by a holt ot tefiimony, and the
fad appears clear, that Welling

nihilated but for the timely arrival
of the Prqilian force, on the even

Remarks on the above.
Although in the firfl volume of
the Weekly Register , page 130, we
gave a pretty full account of the
hideous church eftablWhment. of
England, it may be profitable to re
vive the iubjcdf, and offer fome ad
ditional fa&s and remarks to eluci
date its enormity.
The whole exhibits 2.5 livings in
the church, for which the people at
largemay >heepo mous umof 164,
900 pounds iterling, to which add
the living of the bilhop ot
Man, with about 10001 more, and
_ we have a grand aggregate for the
lupport of twenty six fat prielts, of
165,9001. ; equal to 736,596 dol
lars per annum.
It is worthy of notice that these
livings produced about 100,000
dollars noie per annum in 1813,
than they did fivt years before—
being eltwnated in the ttatement a-
Dove alluded to at 600,000 dollars.
