All these pensions have a retrospect of
nearly two years, consequently the sum of
$500 c. was paid immediately to Mr.. Burke,
and the second and third pensions were in
stan,ly realized into total sum of something
more than 10000 pounds sterling.
1t would occupy too much space TO follow
Mr.. Miles through his long and interesting
letter; our object being British corruption,
we follow it into the same scenes which Mr.
Miles had previously pointed out in the pro-
ffigate mission of Mr.. Wickham.

in 1875, TO sound the disposition o. Pichegru,

treachery of the count Mongaiilard one of
