THE French pastillions, when we consider the
vature of ‘their vccupation, and their educaiion, may
be considered a decent, civil class of men ; but I
found none of that cxtreme ‘colitemu of behavour
which many travellers {{B pacribed, :
To return to the ions, 'l’he{ drive with
preat doxterity,'and as you would conclude' from the
impalicnce and vivacity of their nation, with great
speed. Yeuw muy. pretty fairly reckon upon niding
six miles an hour, including the time neeessary to
change hovses, and you cen generally ride ninety
miles in a day i:h‘.the summer season, without en
creaching u '.iﬂh:
The, pou‘:nmuun, who are scattered all over. the
com almest every village, are ﬁnggl_l,
th jiderablé men of the gl:ace. ey are
required by law tq be Ql,'l‘y' at the posts ; and, as
their sole employment consists in superintending the
conduct of their postillions;"shd the management of
their hovses, they, are a pretty indalent set of men.
