The whole uniform of the armed Citizens of Paris is brought over by Mr. Astley, who sent to France merely by importing these regimentals, to prove that the cockades worn by the fine parade of soldiery at the Royal Circus, ought to have been one shade lighter than they are, and therefore that the destruction of the Bastille which Palmer and his crew has got up, is not perfect. Now, is a person is really desirous of seeing a proper representation of the assault and battery, the storming, &c. so finely said to be represented at the Circus, let him come and see young Astley gallop round the ride. That’s what the old jockey went partly to France for. The uniform, notwithstanding what he says, is for Ireland, where cloth is twice as cheap as in France. This is the way to build houses.
