BA' (The 27th volume of " Constable's Miscellany," which has just Issued from the press, contains Mr.- Mateo trn's " Reminiscences of a Cunpeign in the Pyrenees -and Sooth of France, - previous to the Prece of Paris." The battle of Toulouse is described with much *pleb, and I:Tendered more than usually interesting by the personal narrative. of the author.

Of 'these circumstances, at the time, however, I was quite igao•• rant; and as escape was impossible, I lay qnietly where I was on the road side, hoping to avoid notice among the wounded and the dead. • • " The enemy Marched past me in great force, keep ing up a tremendous fire, and having drums beating in the rear. The main body had •passeif without taking any notice of me, wheal was seized. aped by two strag glers who bad loitered behind.

I passed close by. the Marshal and his Generals, who eyed me with a look of grave cut iosity. " At last I arrived in the town, which exhibited such a scene of confusion as I never witnessed. Almost the whole French army occupied the streets ; the house tops were covered with cro.vds, and the windows seemed bursting with the population. All was terror and ex citement ; for Soult seemed determined to make a stunt even in the town, and Wellington commanded a po•i tion from which he could reduce it to ashes. I had no I sooner entered the streets than I became so faint and exhausted from fatigue and loss of blood, that I sunk down upon the ground. In a few minutes a French surgeon made his appearance, and examined my wound, which he laid open with the knife at both orifices; but so much was my arm deadened by the ball, that I scarcely felt the operation. As soon as it was over I was escorted by a file of gens d'armes to an hospital pre pared for the reception of the wounded. As we passed along the streets crowds of Ladies rushed out from their houses, and presented me with wines and cordials ; and being much exhausted and parched with thirst, I drank largely of every thing they offered me. " Upon asriving at the hospital, I was ushered into an immense room, which was crowded from end to end with the wounded and dying carers of the French army. I was then given in charge to two fat ro.y sick nurses, who, withoit any coy delays, or the sligbtes► attempt at a blush, script off my clothes and put me to bed. In a short time afterwards I received a visit from an English physician, who had been long resident in Toulouse. He info: med me that the French army would be obliged to retire, and that the inhabitants of Toulouse were well affected towards the English. 1 expressed a fear that, in the event of the Fiench army retiring, they might carry me along with them; but he set my mind at ease, by informing me that he had suf ficient i tNel %WI the medical department to prevent any thing of that sort; and after promising to repeat his visit, he took his leave. 66 Tow ,rds night I began to fAll into a slumber, but was every now and then startled out of it by the cries of the wounded, especially of such as were undergoing amputations. In the bed neat to mine lay an English officer who' had been wounded and taken prisoner; but he was then I speechless, and died during the night. On my other side lay a German, an officer in the FrenCh service, whose skull bad been fractured. He sung and con versed to himself in the wildest manner imaginable; and about midnight stinted out of bed, and snatched up and down the room in a suite ot delirium. quite alarming to the rest of us. He also died lila shott time. Slcep tame upon use at last, but it was a sleep of horrors. The various scenes of the preceding day, mixed up with the phantoms if imagination, passed in dire review before me. My friends teemed f4lling around me, the thunders of battle were in my ears, and we seemed . reireating and closely pursued by the ene my's cavalry. From these imaginary horrors a return to real pain was a relief. I awoke towards morning with a burning thirst, and the taste of sulphur in my throat, in consequence of the smoke which I had 'breathed the preceding day. I was amply supplied with lemonade; but my Lair attendants allovied me scarce any thing to eat, fur fear, as they informed me, of fever. • . . " About ten o'clock at night I observed several Os cm: enter the hospitat, and bid adieu to their wounded conipanions, by which I guessed that the French army were about to evacuate Toulouse. Shortly afterwards there were symptoms of commotion without—the move.' meat of a great army, infantry, cavalry, and artillery, through the narrow streets, with the confusion attend ing such a scene, produced a great noise, like the roar of the sea after a storm. I listened to the wild sound for hours, till at last it began to wax faint, and die away through the night, when I again' sunk into a slumber. Ou awakening in the morning I observed a number of priests in the act of administering extreme unction to the dying men by whom I was surrounded ; and the moment any of them expired he was carried out, to make room for some other wounded man, by whom his bed was immediately occupied. "Yet, even in that house of mourning, tbere oc curred one circumstance, which I still think of with pe culiar pleasure. About mid-day a young lady entered the hospital, probably to see some friend or acquaint. ante among the wounded. In proceeding along the room, the paused opposite to the place where I was lying, and, being informed by one of the sick nurses in attendance that I was an Englishman, she stepped up to my bed-side, and gazing on me with a look, in which curiosity was mingled with pity—all at once, yielding to the impulse'of her feelings, she bent over me, and, throwing her arms around my neck, pressed her cheek to mine: it was a ber4 of nature, and but the action of a moment ; for she raised herself hastily. glided away, and I never saw her again. Yet, trivial as this cir cumstance nisi seem, it remains lair and fresh in my re collection, while weighties matters have been long for-' gotten; and there are times, even yet, when, in the silencer f the night, and far away amidst the dream ing land, my couch seems spread in the hospital of Toulouse; and when, itridst that scene of suffering. my ear is tortured with shrieks of agony, and my sealed eye blasted with heart-rending sights—then, too, smiling away these horrors, the vision of the young French girl breaks upon my dreams, and in all the vividness of reality do I behold her, like a ministering angel, bend, ing over my couch—till once more 1 feel her dark tresses clustering oier my brow, and the pressure of bet sofeviarm cheek to mine. But to return: was not till the mists had cleared away, on the Morning of the 12th. that the British army discovered the retreat of the enemy. and began to feel their way towards Toulouse, which they entered very quietly ; Mid it War only by hearing their bands of music that I was made aware of their approach. About noon 1 was tisited by some of my brother officers, who ga' e me an account of the termination of the battle, and the names ur those who had laden. Though I was no longer a prisoner, the state rf My he4lth was such as to prevent my removal from the hospital, where I remained for . ter i days. On the 12th I heard the sound of cannon at idistance, and mu s t own I felt a kind of pleasure in. tOpposiog that it proceeded from some of our artillery, "41u , had come up with the enemy. " For Several succeeding days. hour after hour. I 'hard our bands of music playing dead Marches tfirout,h the•streets; - to numerous were the deaths after the battle; arid 'gsehrle, froth the• room in *lnch I lay. I had a t' ,liltipi e of the bright blue sky, undteord from without the hum of the world, and the sounds of lite and joy. contrasted with the doleful airline which 'peke of s'ir..uds and graves, and of them for whom light and life existed in vain. I felt as if it were doubly hard to die during the festival of nature—to leave the 6 fair day and the green eattli; with its leaves and Rowers. " Meantime I was regularly visited by the French surgeons; and on the fourth day after the battle, they came to inspect my wound, banging with them the in struments of amputation, in case such an operation should be necessary, but luckily it was not. During the period which I remained under their case. the) showed me every possible kindness and attention ; and when at length I was ordered to be removed to a em irate house, on which I had received a billet, in orde, to be under the inspection of the tegimeidal surgeon., they seemed hurt that I should leave the hospital. anu made parti:ular inquiries whether or not I had any cause of complaint against them. I also received daily visits from a Enoch Lady, a married woman. and the mother of a family, who brought me a regular supply of soups, mange:, spuoge cakes, &c. so that I may ti uly say, I could not possibly have received more attentim. and kindness,,if I had been in My own country, line cirri among my own neared relatives. " Some days after, our troops curved Tools:tow. I was waited upon by the chaplain of the division to which I belonged, whom some petson had sent to me, suppming, perhaps, that I was dying. Associating the idea of the chaolain with that of death a l was not a little startled at seeing the Reverend Gentleman approach my bedside with a pravei-ix ok in his hand, to proffer , spiritual consolation. I assured him. with much eager nem, that I was not in any danger. and, for the present, did nut require his assistance. He smiled good-ha- mouresily. and said. as I did not seem disposed tor prayers, he would, if I had no objections, give me the, news of the day. He then informed me of the sortie I which the enemy had made from Bayonne, alter the battle of Toulouse—of the abdication of Napoleon—and the cessation of hostilities. Upon leaving the French hospital I was removed to a private house, the only in mate et which that I ever saw was a maid servant, who divided her attentions pretty equally betwutt myself' and a pet frog which she kept in a large glass phial, as l i an ornament to the mantle-puce. " The details of a sick bed are not interesting; suffice it to say, that, set much pain and suffering, I was obliged, along with the other officers, to leave Toulouse about the 19ui of June, it being an article of the treaty of peace that no Biitish officer shOuld remain there after that period.• I was carried 'out of the town, and set down upon the banks of the Garonne. where I was al lowed to remain for several hours exp, red to a broiling sun, and was at .length stowed, along with five or six officers, in the tarne helpless state with myself. in a Rat• bottomed boat, having an awning to protect us from the son. A surgeon was sent along with us, and our servants.followed in another boat. " We had not proceeded far on our voyage to Bow dean; when the sky became suddenly overcast, and a tremendous thunder storm ensued, which continued without intermission the -whole day, accompanied by torrents of rain, by which we were completely drenched through the awning of our boat. In the evening we landed at a village, on the banks of the river, where we passed the night—and on the following morning re, sinned our voyage. In this manlier we proceeded down the river during the day, and landed every night at some village. but suffered the most excruciating pain on being moved from the boat. On these occasions it is but justice to say, that the French soldiers, whom we saw, were most ready to lend their assistance in carry ing us to and from our quarters in the different villages. " Is other circumstances, our voyage would have been a most delightful one, amidst the magnificent scenery of the Garonne, with its beautiful wooded islands and green banks, covered with flocks and dotted with villages. "On the fourth day of our voyage we arrived at Bandeau; where I was lodged in the house of a re• spectable merchant, from whom I received the greatest kindness. When able to sit up limped with the family ; end when confined to my room I was most amply sup plied with every luxury of the climate and season After remaining at Bandeaux about a fortnight, I cm barked for England on board a transport lying is the River, which then presented the animated spectacle of the embarkation of the British army. Boats filled with troops, and serenaded by bands of music, swarmed ups the water; and just as we got under weigh, amid cries of • HOZZ2 for England r we were answered by syn.- pathetic shouts of joy. proceeding from French pH blotters of war arriving from that country , and passing up the river the ships that were conveying them.home. " What must their feelings have been, when, after pining for tea and for twenty years in the prisons of ti foreign land, they were again restored to their long-lost country! With what throbbing. of hope and fear would they approach their several homes! With what trem bling hearts would they see the doors unfold—and with I what startled feelings would they gaze upon the altered faces of their early friends, or of the strangers an nouncing to them that those friends had long been sleeping in their graves! 06 Our fleet passed rapidly down the river. and was soon in the Bay of Biscay. After a voyage of a fort night, we came in sight of the Land's End—entered the Channel, and on the following day arrived at Spit. head. from whence I was landed at Portsmouth, on the same spot where I bad embarked about a year and a half before." - Thetharms of Dutch women swiftly ripen, and swiftly decay.
