OBSEKV.4I7O:NS,

My Dear l;o4tnerymen and .I#Vow-Labourert,
I read the above passage •from Denon's Bonk, to-
v.,itti the sensible obscrVatirtns annexed to it,
in a NtWspaper ; and ihey made u deep impreSsion
I upon my mind, llt been too much given to think,
-with other pony men, that in case I,anaparte and his
swarm of I.,,,xusts should come to Eng Nod, anti sue.
coed Sri their designs, the condition of the Poor
co'lild • nor he worse than it is , hut-the' morel re.
'ilea 'upon 'the consequences' of ',French Invasion and
French Lo quest, chi: more fully was I. saiisfied that
the situation tit the Poor must needs be infinitely
• worse than they find it at present.
t. A. couple of hundred thousand, Strangers will
covurne an immensity of 'Provisions, and. raiie the
},rice cif all the. articles Of life.
2. This scarcity will be felt. the
,more severely,
flecatrw the Farm,!rs will. be afraid to send their
two, and the Graziers their cattle to Market.—
The French wilt live at free cpsr, in free quarters ;
and it is very clear that they Will bring no money

with them.. •
3. Rich will infallibly he, plundered; and
then. who khall lip able: to employ the Poor, or!vvl,ere
bhail they look for wages t Our riclrMailula6tu*rs,
and opulent 'Merchants, ho ket Thousands and tens
of 4houplMis to work, will he pillaged' of the
property which they cano)t bury, or otherwise se..
crete, Or carry away with them. 'Where there' is
ItO trade, there Can he no emptoymint 'fa the Poor;
and vilie,Te the Poor are left
,without employment,
,they must either starve or steal. Now the French
Conquerors, being themselves bent upoo plunder,
will 4uffer no •native iaterlopers, ; though;
hey have no .principle which Cap lead them to
fiezttotl stealing a din or et Oirrte, they will
,assuredL

hfitg,, shoot, (irown, guillotine' all
thieves but Frrneb4 thieves.,
A man can lose but his all. A poor man's all is
as valuable to him as a rich man's all to him. kali:
ii rlas still, whether a man lose. little or much ; and
therefore the Poor, involved in common wretched:
nets with the Rich, will be 'no better off than they.
The French never spare the little property of the,
P,or :—witness what Denon reeyrds ; nothing ;Was
left even,of the;huts of the,poot Egyptians, except
the mud. of whiCh they were made, .and that only
because it would not burn...

S. A, poor man'sfimi/x is as clear to him .as
rich man's,torbim. If the Poor think' that the li-
centious French Soldiery, who are sensible of no
check-either from kligion or Humanity, who have
been nursed- in la6d, and bred in infidelity, for
more than twelve years, Will 'spate their wives and
daughters, they—are,•much mistaken. They will
seize them with greediness, Anti violate them with.
out remorse, in the sight of their husbat.di and fa-
,the.rs ;77violate them first, and kill them on the-
'spot, and their dearest relatives, the helpless wit_
nesses`of their sufferings, afterwards. Even those
poOr men of Egypt who remained in their little
cabins, .and paid all that was ekaaed from them,'
'and surrendered all that was .deManded, had n ;feu
of their wives and daughters violated ;---no doubt
tlik way gtheral with those who fled, and left their:
fern ale relations behind, Or with those who resisted
the Invaders of their native land.
6. The Rid' can fly to save themselves and their
families; they can lost away in carriages, or on
horseback; out of the line of the Enemy's match,
if they choose ; though it appears to. me, that no
rich man in England, whose age or bodily strength
shall permiX him to carry a &dock, will avoid the
enemy ;—ho, he will rather seek him, and defend
,at once his own house and the poor man's cottage
—but I say, the Rich have it in their rowel to fly,-
if they chooSe to do so; or, at least, they can send'
theii. wives and children to a place of falety ; but
the Poor can do no such thing ; they remain fixed
to a spot, doomed to stiffer all that an implacable,
Enemy shall.think proper to inflid in the -wanton.'
tress of cruelty ; and the wives of their bosom, and
their tender children, infants, and sucklings, must
suffer with them

7. , Those Taxes of which De speaks above,
are not merely. Taxes of the nature of our's, but
Military Contributions, 'as thetare called ;
of money and valuables,, arms, accoutrements, cloth.
ing, forage, food and vessels to dress it in., futcl,
and every thing a vielorious Army may choose to
demand :--am matter how poor a man may
the chair he sits on, the bench he works at, the bed
he lies on, the Sunday clothes he takes a ;decent
pride in, all, all must go,---and that On the pain' of
death, and military execution. Deliver or die is
not more the language of a Highwayman, than of
the ,French Soldiery, who have subsisted on,, and
have been paid by plunder, from the first breaking'
out- of the kevolution::—"they have despoiled some
of the fairest Countries on the COnrinent• ; and the
wraith and comforts of this happy Lland,-instigate
them, more than any thing, to invade, attack, and,
which God forbid ! subdue us.

S. It in the event we 4141 he subdued, then,,Wee
to the Vanptiihed 1 The French generals have de_
elated that England thall net be a plate deSirable to.
live in; that ti,ey twill sower Englishin4 over the
face of the world, and that they shall be found troy
(inhere but in England" They come upon us'like the
Tbieftlescribedp the •gospet; a Book these French
Infidels not only disbelieve, hot detest---,," The
Thief cotneth rte, but for to steal, and to kill, and
to destroy." England is held up by the French
Government as an objet. of plunder. The wealth
:of the rich Landholders, who employ the labouring
men ; and ht the Merchants and Manufaelurers, who
encourage the ingenuity of our workmen, is pointed
at by the upstart French Rulers, as affording an
ample harvest of pillage. These Thieves, who have
robbed Btabant, Holland, Savoy, Piedmont, Italy,
Switzerland, Venice, and are now sacking Hanover,
are next directed to England--hereto steal ; and
ihat,they may steal with impunity, they will kill;
and because o the glorious,stand England makes,
sitiVe.hitndeod, against' their wicked enterprises, if
'they succeed in their abominable designs, they will
:destroy it utterly,—ln which event,
9,.The Sibooh which educate rill; t the' children
of the Poor, will be thrown down— the Hospitals
which receive them when sick ar hurt, will be
converted into Barracks ; 'as will. our Workhouses,.
which,,As public edifices,' emulate our Palaces : the
whole system of our Poor. Laws, that nohle monu.
meat of Naiional Charity, by 'w/.ich the Rich bind
thernselves to Provide for the Indigent, will be done'
away : the aged Poor, the infiint Poor, those of
them who are sick, or 'those who labour under the
effetts of accidental hurt, or isainful disease, must
languish in misery all death shall free them front'
the dreadlid consequences of. French conqueste;--
And as to those lidxsuring men, whether English,
Irish, or ScOtch, whop are strong to labour, they
will be forced into the ranks'of the l: teach Army;
and compelled to assist in desedating thls•Realin ;
Or, which is, More likely, they will be. sold for
s:Javes, to Work in the• Mines of MexicoAnd:Peril
for it is a fad that the French have sold their
Hungarian and AU:titian Prisonerti't6 the Spauiardi
,dig in those mines like the Negro slaves. The
stouter and the more inured to laboiir any working
Snan is, the better price will he fetch' in the slave,'

.
'or
.4 pick,axev who cannot wheel a barrow, or
stand tbe.fUrnace the Melting hOuse, will be only
tit to be killed ; but the able.: bodied labourer will
be sold for a slave. 0 titrible fate !- that a free.
leo-n N ative Of the British' Isles, should be sold by:
a French converor, or Corsium Adventurer,' to '
wpik as a slave in the Spaoisii mines—the Worst of
all !very, worse than Death itself.
Let my poor,Friends, therefore, refleel upon What,:
I,have hod beisare •thern ; and let theta know
aurally, that if the French 6ucceo in3heir 'attempt
upott.this Country, their .condition will he mow

Not long ago, a Chertsey long coach, was over.
turned near Hampton, owing to the horses taking
fright. Almost the whole of the inside passenger,
'were: dangerously hurt. The persons on the our
loiving notice of their, danger previous to the coach
being overturned, jumped off the roof, and by that
Means escaped broken babes. The coach was almost
shattered to pieces by the fall.. A .very ihort
time prior to this . circumstance, another Chert.
sey coach, of the sathe conStruaion; was overturn.
ed. near 4unbury, on its way to town, heavily laden
on the top with passengers. There was no blame
attached to °the Coachman. The accident Was
owing to the giving way of a sand bank while pass-
ing a cart. Oh this occasion, much serious mis-
chief ;ensued; • not fewer thin 'a dozen
passengers
were shockingly bruised and maimed. One un.
fortunate Young man had his leg broken and shat-
tered in a
,theadful manner,. and was taken by
water to Hampton. •' Mr. BLIZAP.D was applied
to for surgical assistance,' who gave' it as his opi-
nion; that the patient would be dead in, twenty-
four. hours
,if his limb was not amputated. It was
with difficulty he was persuaded to undergo the
Opetotion ; but it was the means of 'saving his life,
anti he, .is .now in a foil- way, of recovery.. The
Coacirmaster, we understand, has offered 2001. to
