PRIVATE LETTER, PARIS, SEPT. i.
" Much cnnfufion has prevailed here for this week,

all the half-crowns, 24 and i z ;lyre pieces, that were
coined before the year o 72(i, thonld he no Langer cur-
rent. and that even thole of Louis XV I. were not to
be received in payment, i 1 the date were not pet fatly
legible. Next morning, when the pco;le were af-
fembled in the principal market place, they became

few of fuch were to be found. The poblic difirtic
