PARIS, February 21.
Our Parliament, as all the others, continues to pour out its vengeance on the Jesuits. After selling by auction their moveables, they are proceeding to the sale of the real estates. Those who were in Office under the General of the Society, are not much to be pitied, because they foresaw the Storm, and prepared for it: the greatest Sufferers are those who least deserve to suffer, having had no share in the Society's affairs. Some of these are now obliged to ask alms of their landlord; being in want of all necessaries: but in the midst of their distress, they discover a patience and resignation truly admirable.
