During this period of the battle, General Pack sate on horseback in the middle of the road, shosiing an example of the most undaunted bravery to' the troops. I think I see bibs now, as he then appeared, pelfectly calm and unmoved, and with a placid smile spool* face amidst a perfect storm of: shot and shells.. His Aide-de-Camp, Le Strange, who was afterwards killed at Waterloo, had his horse shot Oder him, - and both came down together. A few mi• notes ifterwasds, I observed 'General Pack suddenly turn pale, and Seem as if going tolaint. This was oc• itsioned by alsall which had passed through his leg.

Our men were mown down by sections: I caw six of the company to Which! belonged fall together, 'as if swept, eiray by the discharge of. one gun, and the whole ground over *bier we rushed was covered with the dead: The redoubts were erected along the side of a road, and defended by broad ditches filled with water.

He had escaped from his *nasl during a dark night, and concealed himself in a Wood fur a day or two, until they were gone.

He bad joined us only two or three days pre- Onus to the battle, and wits standing close beside de in dr flesh of ycluthond health, and hope—in the very modest elf victory—the proudest one of life t his eye but twinkled once, and he lay a corpse at my feet I " What an thea, efirit andribed, . st ...Thai posits' with man's breath away. • • r That sliest him isafing, sense, and mind, ' And leav'st bins cab! anausidass day a While I was yet gazing upon him in a kind of stupor,.l.reeeitedu blow, ai if from a hag* club, 'on . tbe' elbow.

The first sensation*which I was consciois of after my fall was that of a burning thirst, universally felt after gun-shot wounds. I observed our men still falling around me, in consequence of the fire from the two for. tified houses; but at last the firing suddenly ceased, and A dead silence ensued. My faintness now beginning to wear off, I raised my head, and thrbugh the clouds of smoke which were clearing away, I observed that the road was covered with troops in blue uniform. At first I . sopposed them to be Spaniards, but was soon unde .ceired, And..discovered them to be French.

A description of their dress, which was in-the most'fanciful :siege taste, cannot fail to be interesting. In the first place, the body was clmpletely • smeared over' with . the kind of paint I have before de scribed, his' Majesty's colour. like that which dibtin. guishes the Imperial family of China, .being yellow—. while-the beery Of his attendants was dark red. The hair of the head was dressed in long small curls, hang ing down behind, and which. instead of hair powder aodpomatum,. were well stiffened with ochre and oil ; is front similar curls, dividing front die forehead, hung down on each side below the vars. sonsewhat is the style of Neodyke'r -female Omaha 'of the age .of Charles I.

This iingelarlyerhamental bea&dress was surinoented by a-flattish low-crowned het, With a narrow being, the whole 'shape hot a little resembling that of Mansbrieffs helmet; the frame work, conwtacted of loosely wase split rattan; wat covered over and Ornamented With' leaves, the bones of monkeys...and- other animals. aid a few: white, and occasionally red, feathers; the latter df which appeared to haft been dyed in the blood of seine animas!.
