The fituation of the filk manufa&turers of 
the parith of Folefhil, in the vicinity of Co- 
ventry, is truly diftreffing, and contradi&s, 
in a great meaiure, the vaunted profperity of — 
the country; neither is it confined to this 
place alone, but the neighbouring parithes 
ate in a fimilar fituation. This place, which’ 
before the commencement of the war, was 
flourithing, full of induftrious manufa&urers, 
and almof without a poor inhabitant, is now 
reduced to fuch a wretched condition, that’ 
ali thofe who are enabled to pay the poor- 
rates, are determined, if not fpeedily relieved 
to. quit the parifh. Ont of 641 houfes of 
different rents in this parifh, there are but 
$4. capable of paying poor’serates. There 
are feveral fmall farms, but not one large. 
one, and all are at advanced rack-rents. 
There are now two paupers for ‘every houfe 
in the parifh, and the amount of the. poor- 
rates is one-fourth more than the total rental 
of both land and houfes in the parifhes. Such: 
is the fituation of the ribbon-manufadtory 
in this part of the country, owing to the: 
decreafe of trade in that branch of manufac 
ture fince the commencement of the war !
