_July 17th._--This evening we had just returned from walking in the
gardens when we were told by the servants that three English robbers
had been just then taken up. There were two men and a woman, who had
robbed some English at an hotel in Paris of a great deal of money,
and gone off with it; they were, however, all stopped and taken up
at Versailles. We heard of another Englishman that had swindled. An
English lady told us that at Boulogne there were quantities of English
who came over in debt, and that a prison there was so full of English
that it was called the British Hotel.
