The French Journals notice with approbation,
a work just published in Paris, entitled, " Tim
Decline of England; in a Linter from an English-
man to Lord LlVEttroot.." The publication is
described as a moist .tion from the English. The
Editors of the Paris Journals pretend, that though,
,aa good, Frenchmen, they. cannot read without
interest the proofs ut 14 nglish decay established,
and 'by an Englishman too, in this work, yet they
are too faithful Allies to be rejoiced ut them. We
know .nothing of the hook, and think it not im-
probable that it may be, ranked among the many
forgerfes which are no,w, in such frrie circulation.
"We beg, however; to offer our gratitude to the
French Journalists 'forthe sympathetic grief which
they express at the prospect of .England's Clown
fat, but we believe we na'assure them, that their
'sorrow is without Cause.
