That the agents of Congress, Franklin and Deane, are totally neglected by all in France, except a few interested merchants, who have been abused out of their property, and think it their interest to countenance those heroes, till proper Consignments from the Congress are sent them.
That the former abettors of the American rebellion are now their most inveterate enemies, and subscribe cheerfully for the encouragement of the new levies; that men, both for the sea and land service, are raising with the greatest facility; and that the new regiments will be completed much sooner than was at first expected.
