TlIiJ GENEHAL HOSPITAL NEAU (JVEIIEC.

This is a community of women ; they hâve a foundation for taking care of thirty invalids, idiots, or incurables, whicli they are at présent in no condition to fulfil, their revenues being in no way equal to the expence, and as a large sum is owing them by the King of France for the sick of his arrny. In the time of the French, they were allowed rations for as'manyof the above as they took in, and a pension of two thousand livres. The Ladies of this community are of the best families in Canada, and by the présents they were continually receiving from them, they were chiefly enabled to subsist ; that resource is now at an end, as the gentry, in gênerai, are in the most distressed circumstances.

They owe a very large debt, contracted in a good measure for the sick officers and soldiers of the French army ; the French King owes them a large sum sufficient to discharge it, but they must be reduced to the utmost beggary and distress if he does not pay ; the sale of ail their houses and lands will scarcely te sufiicient to satisfy their creditors.

Their whole estate in this country

does not bring tfiem in at the

most above 5000 Livres.
