news of forty failures at Paris, eighteen
at Bourdeaux, fourteen at Marseilles,
fifteen at Lyons, seventeen at Nantes,
six at St. Malo, nine at Rouen, ten at
Havre, six at Dunkirk, two at Ostend,
eleven at Flushing, eight at Rotterdam,
sixteen at Amsterdam, ten at Genoa,
twelve at Leghorn and eight at Naples.
From Prussia we hear that ten Silesian
manufacturers have failed, and there is
an apprehension, should the Elbe con-
tinue to be in a state of blockade, that
their number will in a short time be
doubled. This war of the ambitious
Corsican, is certainly more against the
trade of England.
