Comparative Sobriety Of the French and En-
cr;sh.-The following passage, respecting
81. amount OF tipsiness In France, 10 one OF
Az Walsh,s letters to the Intelligencer: ts
~, l. calculated that nine tenths of the Par
:. Foundation habitualy drink wine while the
n,ano,,on OF bibbers throughout the nation is
CONSIDERABLY smaller-not a fifth indeed of the
svhole. Alcohol and a greater or less quanti-
20 ~ water are mixed by the dealers with
,nns, &c The wine drunk in the capital.
When 4 bill against the adulteration of tobacco
,,,,s submitted in the British House of Conn
,sons, ! member observed that he cared moth
&c. at,,,,t il. for he could not conceive how
.hss or;s;nal article could be rendered more
nn;some ar foxious. / am inclined to say
snrne,hinr like this with regard to the wins
oya;na;res which the laboring classes of the
E,onch towns swallow by quarts at a time.
Moro sinnlinr shops are visible, at least, in
every o,narter of Paris than in London. In
,ov;c.t,on must be extensive in the British
n,e,rnuolis. official statistics end the reports
- sac;et;es attest a hor rid addiction to ardent
s~r;rits. the large seafaring population, native,
.rd foreign, with whom such a port must be
.yer crowded, would account for Q greater ex-
tarf and manifestation OF the evil. But !
sncas,ntered there, in the course OF a month
mast. chiefly in the streets, few d~runkards
comparitively; I see more tipsiness here In
