FRENCH EWGRANTS.

Me. Entroa—Permit me, through the channel
of your interesting and impartial paper, to make a
few inquiries.
Why, of late, have indiscriminate attacks been
made agains• the whole ho4ly of French Emigrants
in this country, great part of whom are men of
known integrity and honour, not having, like others,
made their submission, either at the dwelling of
Otto or Aadreossi?

Are not such indiscriminate attacks perfeftly
consonant with the views of Bonaparte, who wishes
to throw a general odium on those unfortunate
sufferers ?

Why all those who are known for traitor•, emi-
grants, and others, of which I have reason to be-
lieve, there are many, are not made the just vic-
tims of a Government, whose confidence they
abuse, to the great joy of all loyal men, both Eng-
lish and Clench

Why suspicious men, denounced to Government,
are not watched and detested? and why suffered to
be daily arriving from, and going to the Conti-
nent ?
Why so many servants, able to get their bread
without that succour, are admitted on the French
Emigrant list ? honest Frenchmen allors eel so little
from the Committee, and those less deserving so
much ? among the latter, some suspicious charac-
ters, and great admirers of the Corsican tyrant ?
Why the false pretences of several French Emi-
grants, and others caiiing themselves so, are n.,t
more closely examined ; whilst unfortunate British
subjeds, sufferers by the French Revolution and the
Treaty of Amiens, neither find in the Government of
their country, or the generosity of their country-
men, any relief ? Your constant Reader,

A singular instance of the fidelity of a dog oc-
curred on the occasion of the death of Lord Suer-
TILL D'S Game-keeper, WILLIAst FILLDtIt, who
periAted in the severe night of Wednesday, the 12rb
of last month, as mentioned in a former piper. He
had walked from Lewes, about ten mites, in the
snow, and fell, on the plain ground, in Sheffield-
park (not pal tieularly covered wieasno..), exhausted,
as it is SOPp ,sed, by fatigue; and it is very remark-
able, that the body was not found till the fourth
day, though not above five or six hundred yards
from the house. During the whole time. the dog
lax across the body, and was heard to cry most dis-
rna;:y from time to time. The poor animal was nor
induced, even by the calls of hunger, nocornrolnly
bad weather, and rain for a whole Jay, tie desett the
body Lord SRMILLO has, very property, ordered
partiaalar care to be taken of the dog.
