A correspondent of the firft refyed and informa

ally in contemplation among the leaders ofthe in
' dependent army, at the fevcral reviews this Cum
mer, alohg with other public business of import
ance, to address that friend of the liberties of man
kind, Louis the Sixteenth: particularly exempli
fied in the noble ddintereded part lie took in be
half of our dear brethren in America, when they
groaned under the yoke of infatuated Britain. This
if a step that can offend nobody, as his mod Chri
^an majesty 'is in perfedt amity with our mod gra

character in a fhlc of superior colouring, surpassing
even the transcendent lußre with.which it has

FxtraA of a letter from London, dated July 6.
'' We have at left get clear of the riot rind out
rage attendant upon general elections, and have
time to infpeft into the affairs of the nation, which
are, I very much fear, in an irretrievable condition.
Our taxes are already so numerous and oppressive
that I can honestly declare scarce a day pahfes with
out feme application for rates or taxes; the hard
re's of the times haHnercafed the number of the
poor so much, that I ray lire shillings in the pound
poor-rates. I was in hopes now that peace is effa
liihed we should ham a respite from oppreflion,
instead of which the niniher has brought in a bill
to raise the sum of fix millions; the inter.eft of
watch, and other contingent expences'arifing from
the navy debt, will be paid by a tax or foals, which
are to be rated 3s. per chaldron. This tax will
certainly fall heavy upon the poor, whose mifertes -
will be aggravated by this impost—a copper per'

the exigent 1; a"a .cpietely excuses him: I
only wish that he ha f hjs taxes upon such ar
ticles, as are cor a ^ .he opulent and luxu
rious. I was in He Tonic at the time.the miniftcr
opened wnaf is cd the budget, and was very
well pleuied with the generous regard he appeared
to reel for the natural rights of mankind. He spoke
three hours, and I never heard an harangue, that
inx olved such an infinite variety of important, but
'fU complicated, and difficult topics to detail with
peilpieuity, tnat had mere .merit, or was more
easily comprehended or underhood. His speech was
an uncommon display of ability, manly spirit, and
that degree of ministerial boldness, which the un
fortunate filiation of the country calls for."

voyage, which was completed in about 93 months,
they experienced more humanity than they had

they have, through divine goodness, returned to
the embraces of their late difconfolatc friends, who
bad long bemoaned them as dead.
