PRENCN EMIGRANT' CLERGY.

The following is Mr. Ea:a:lt's fecond Letter
to the Prenth Archbilhops and Jii(hops :
" MY LORD,
" In my Letter of the f 6th Wt. with which t had the honour
to trxnfrnit the Brief of the Sovereign Pontiff, which I fent to
you by the exprefs order of hisHolinefs Pope Plus VU. as well
as to each of your colleagues refilling in this Kingdom, I fond.
red your Greatnefs, as well as your Colleagues, to tranfmit me
the Anfwm that each individually would think proper to nuke.
I have, however, heard it kid, that, in confequenco of the
meeting held by your Greatniffes, you intend to 'after collec-
tively to the paternal invitation of his Holinefs ; I therefore find
myfelf fiddly obliged, my Lord, to inform you, and to beg
of you to intimate the fame to your Colleagues, that by this
meant yob will not felfil the Intention of his Holinefs, who has
precifely commanded me to tranfmit his Brief to wich of you,
in order that you might, feparately, and after having invoked
by your prayers the diftribution df underilanding, make itch
an Inkier as you conceive yourfeives in conkience to beinfpired
with by the FATRZR of Mercies.
" lam palhaded, my Lord, that you and your Colleagues
would experience an acute (minion, if, in the anfwer to his
Holinefs, you had adopted, even involuntarily, a method little
conformable to the &fires of the Holy Father, and which are
not entirely congenial to the filial refpea which you have me-
Randy manifeited towards the Sovereign Pontiff. I flatter
inyfelf, therefore, that you will accept the petfent advice.
" I have the honour to be, .
"With the molt perfect coofideration,
" Your Creamers's

" Mat humble and obedient Serrant,
" No. 42, St. Mary-la-Bonne-Street, " c. gamma."

London, Sept. 22. aot."

The French Bilhops held their final meeting on
Saturday laft. Every one.of them adhered to the
opinion which he gave before. The purport of
their deliberation was not upon the main ground
of the queftion, but upon the form in which the
letters containing the determination of each in-
dividual should be couched. After a long debate
it was definitively refolved to conform ftrialy to
the method prescribed by the POPS. All there
Prelates were yeftenlay to deliver to Mr. ERSKINE
their different letters, the contents of which are
funpleln the extreme, as any oppofition mull be
to no purpofe.

To the feventeen Bifhops who compoced the
firft meeting is to be added the Bithop of Rhodes,
who jut} arrived front Scotland. The Bifhop of
Troyes, who was on an eacurfion in Holland, did
'not arrive till Sunday.. His opinion, long known
from a publication, Is An favour of their reigning.
Thus, amongft nineteen French Bifhops who have
taken refuge in London, five are decidedly con-
formids.

There are fix Bifhops in France, all of whom
are known to be conformifts—the BiihopP of Mar-
reifies, of Nifmes, of St. Malo, of Angers, of
Senlis, and of Alais. Without the realm of France,
and on the Continent, we may reckon among the
conformifts, the Archbifhops of Ruch, Touloufe,
Troyes, and Cambia', and the Bifhops of Longres,
Lacon, Amiens, and feveral others.
Thiis it appears that of the 4 French Bifhops
.aliie, there arc eighteen known eonformifts, and
it is thought that party will now gain tome far-
ther acquifitionx lt is highly probable, therefore,
that A will, without much farther diffi.
culty, be able to eftablifh religious tranquillity in
France.

Some letters, it is Paid, were lately written to
Lord Ntssom, for the purpofe of extorting money,
pythreatening that unlefsone hundred pounds were
fent to the writer at a given period, he would pub-
lilt to the world tome anecdotes which it was the
interfl of the Noble Admiral mould be concealed.
His Lordfhip, however, inftead of complying with
the demand, has adopted means for bringing the
culprit to punifluncnt.
TH Corsier-Getos*.--The tragedy of
Hamlet, intended to have been erformed at this
Theatre laft night,for the purpofe of introducing to
the town a ram zentleman from a private torepasey,

have this day taken from the coffee-houfe book an
account of the numbers of thofe who died on the

arrived from Ireland and Wales, which are as
follows: on board thefhip—,frotn Londonderry,

are Rill alive are in a moll miferable condition,
many of them being obliged to live in tents in the

to ratify the avarice aj . Mid, w rather batan of
land jobbers, we are burthened with thoufands of
poor wretches, who might have lived comfortably
at home, without hazarding their own lives, or
