ed state of disgraced and detected France. Her
army composed of300,000 men, has been melted
down by dcsertion and disorganization This
is the wish of the allies; they have pursuaded
the good old king to the measure of dlsband,ng |
them, and thus the country falls an easy pres
to these hordes who amount to about 75,0OOOmen !
stationed in different points The Pruss,ans |
commit the greatest depredatons, for VIII CHI they
are pad by the English who, though they wish |
the destruction OF all the manufactures of France
rather hire those barbarians, who have such good
reason to do the work in revenge that they d., u
with pleasure All the monuments of art have

The Prussian officers in Paris arc much 4 e.
lsatshed with the arrogance of the English n
taking TO themselves the merit of the battle Of
waterloo. They accuse their Commander m
Chiei OF being brbed by the English government
to consent to this. Thy say, and very trUlv
that there were but IS or 10000 British ,roor1'
IN inc allied army at that battle; that the dvi
ION commanded by Lord Wellington wa com
2leteiy beaten until the Prassians came ,,n in
me rear and right of the French, and tnrned the
; day IN Their favor, and that now hese insolent
lslanGers take the whole honor of the battle 10
themselves, while 1t evident TO all Europe thar
they owed their salvation TO the Pr,,ss,ans,
ms IS a truth which ought to be stated IN the
Omted States, for our Essex Junto party will
not tail to echo the false official accounts of the
British ministerial papers The tact IS. that
Lord Wellington is good general but British
troops are not thought much of in Europe. The
lrlsil and Scotch fight well, but the mere Englsh
soldier IS poor deyii"
