given. FUT the refreshment of the Chronicle, wn
quote a remark upon one of its calumnies against
'our soldiers about two months ago :
Some mention is made of disputes having taken place at
Versailles between some French and foreign soldiers.. This,
cannot well,be wondered at, when our.o.Wit NeWspaperS, with
s malice that may almost be termed diabolical, sharpen the
Aaggcri of the Frrne.bnritagainst our eiv►l Iroopi, by libelling
Caul calumniating the latter, representing the men as deVoid
erf all discipline, and their commander as a base wretch, who,
for the sake of sacrificing a Military rival, could deny his otvn
Compact, and shuAle off a sacred duty."
