The Hanoverian Legion in our -pay is arrived
on the -Dutch 'Frontiers, and will
.pass through
Paris on its way to Lyons. It contains r 200 men.
Infantry, and soo mounted Dragoons. After being
completely organized at Lyons, they are 'destined
for. our Army in 'the South of 'ltaly. Their nu.,
'nitrous desertions forced Government to send them
to such a distance from their own Country. They
are all young men, under thirty years of age,- and
have formerly belonged to the 'Regiments of the
Hinnveriaii Army, .which surrendered to the French
as Prisoners of War, after our conquest of Ha.

Dooations by Wills, approved by Government,
to the poor and to the• hospitals, amount, during
the year XII. to the sum of . 2.222,-521 !lyres
(90,0001.); u sum, though great, totally insufficient
tot our numerous, poor, particularly as all former
.hospisal,, orphan-houses, and other charitable in.
stitutions, -since the ReVolution, have been confis.
.sated and sold. It would be an. aft Of justice
in our Government, _not to confound this sort of
national property with the estates of; .the Nobility
and Clergy, • but, force their unfeeling purchasers to
prove that they really have paid, the full value for
their acquisitions ; and. if they could not prove it,
which.few can, restore to suffering humanity, what;
avidity, if not cruelty; has too long enjoyed. The
Hospital and the College of Sens were sold to the
same person: for soo,octo livtes in Asiignais, which,
in cash, arnountrd not to ,50 !anis (soh), though the.
buildings of the latter alone cost the Jesuits,
