The Censorship over the Paris papers has become so
jealostosly rignirmis, that thoy hare lost all political hi-

It wonlol :appear that the commission of crime its Paris

ors. as those tof London ; lint still the proportion of
atm ions offences has of late far exceeded the register
of crime hi 1.0.n10n. Among the soldiery the
increase of rrime, generally of a barbarous nature,
has been considerably. Pros:oention: against political
writines hate certainly much increased: all the li-

A bill has been broug:it into ►lte House of Commons
to eons,.el the inhabitants of Newington-butts to build
two churches ; and this, notwithstanding the d,•rided
dissent of a very large majority of the parishioners,
regularly expressed on more than one occasion. The ,
Rector, and the few individuals who support him, are
imposing this very heavy expen,e on the parish, at a
time when th.. parish-otheers are employed 15 boars
week in r. lieviog the poor, the rate for support-I
iaz whom amounts, exclusively of all other rates, to
no less a tutu than Ss. 3d. in the pound; sad this raw
is c ,Ile4ed from a population consisting almost entirely
of persons incolues lamely sufficient fur their
own support. After this, our readers will not be ear- ,
prised that out of JD pari►h•officers 3 only have peti-
tioned fur this measure, a measure the less justifiable
