Sir R. BUXTON thought the measure of too

FRIDAY, it,lqg 7.

We have more than once observed, that in the
enslaved state of the French Press, we could know
nothing of the internal situation of that country,
nor even the most trivial occurrence unfavourable
to the Government, through the medium of the
Paris Journals. Private letters, or the communi-
cation of travellers, are, therefore, the only sources
of interesting information; but we admit that they
cannot be received with too much caution. The
following intelligence, however, received from a
Gentleman, who left Bourdeaux, in a neutral ves-
sel, upon the 13th of May. we think may
be relied upon. He states, that the Irish Le.
gion. or, as it is called in France, the Corps
of Irish Guides, was at Bourdeaux when he
sailed. It is a sort of skeleton regiment, composed
entirely of officers, to be filled up with privates
upon its arrival in Ireland. They are allowed the
pay of French officers of equal rank, which is punc-
tually paid, while Government is greatly in a►rear,
even to the most favourite regiments of the native
army. This skeleton corps, or. more properly.

been fought by individuals of these contending CAc-
tions. Young EVA KS, late of the county of Dublin,
is among the number of Irish at deuideaux,

has followed Counsellor Em 'etre to 'America, al.
though he received strong encouralemmt to setee
in that city, and follow his profession of A phy-

encreasecl 25 per cent. this year. If a person es 4
by what law this augmentation has been made, or
to what the rise is owing, no explanation or setisf2c.
tion is given. The assessment at which the party is
rated, is shewn to him, and he is told it neee
be paid, and that he has no right to earrat
further about it. The Empenoa is nni:•z.

answered. that if circumstances permitted, he would
be happy to see his good city of B.surdeeuz.
the 10th of May, however, a second answer arrived,
in which he stated, that he could not have that
pleasure. Beef, mutton, and veal, were at an aver.
age price, about 71d. per lb. at Bourdeaux. Brat.
dy is very cheap. The Gentleman, from whoa
we received this information, adds, that he hz.l

After a respite to their readers of a few clip, f:s

now ringing the changes upon Mr. Pi TT'; candl" .
in the case of the loan of 40,0001. to the house
Born and BCtiIICLD. According to one partF.
Mr. PITT'S condua upon that occasion was, if not
a criminal connivance at Viscount Mittel s's irre-
gularities, a gross violation of law, and a hi7h
breach of duty. According to the other, i 7
wrought the salvation of the country, and was 4
deed entitled to the highest praise. The truth, as
is generally the case, where party spirit runs hig:t,
lays between the two extremes. Mr. PITT, in is
particular, was guilty of an irregularity ; but an
regularity justifiable in souni sense and polity, and
for which he has accounted, upon Lis examinati—,
in a satisfaaory manner. That this accommcdtti
to the house of Bova and Best:, Imo, at such a
critical moment, was pr )duaive of some public
good is indisputable; but, that a som of 43,0 CL
actually supported public credit, which must have
otherwise fallen to the ground, is incredible. 'li
reminds us of the Indifin Philosopher's account cif
the system of the world, related by Mr. LOCKa.
Being asked what supported the world t he said A
huge elephant ; and being pressed to say what sui,
ported the elephant ? he answered, a tortoise.
