This mon.ing w•e received French Journals to the Bth ilia. inclutive, horn which w•c have made ihe fo!lowing PARIS, FEB. 7.—The Enzlifh Jountals have fp• - .l:en a great deal (..f a pretended tiandard, laid to have been taken in Egypt, at die bode of the 2 t a of March, from a corps called r 3 : , n-pare,': In- Thae never 1 , -as a corps of that name. It is true, that at that battle the 3d battalion of ;he 2!ii liohr, oonfiding el three hundred men, of whom more than a half were natives of the couatry, having been dicpatched as tiraiikurs to tura a wing, thirty men alone were kit to guard the liandard. The tirailleurs having been driven back, the thirty men were liirrounded, and all perithed. By theft: mean.; the flandard fell into the hands of the enemy. The FIRST CONSUL, when he reviewed this demi-brigade at Lyons, not ileing the flaudard of the 3d battalion, obtained procf that not one of the thirty men left to guard the flandard efcaped alive, before he declared that the honour of the demi-brigade was in no manner fullied by that event. The kind of fervice for which the light infantry are defined requires, that if Ilandards are given to them in the time of peace, they ought to leave them at the depot in the time of war. It was by want of attention to this pradice that the (landard was taken.—Menikur. It is laid that the Captain Pacha, when he made his entry into Con ftantinople, bullied the French Rag below the Turlifh, this circumftance is not cor rat. The Captain Pacha had already entered, wh en a French frigate, which had fallen to the thare of the Turks, thought proper to hoiff the French flag in this manner. The Grand Seignior, who was in one of the balconies of the Seraglio to fee the fquadron pafs, was the firit to ()Verve this, and fent orders perfonally to remove the flag, which re nt.iined in that fituation only five minutes. Citi ' tizen SEBASTIAN I, deeply aTeCted by this atten tion and amicable folicitude of the Sovereign, waited, next morning on the Caimacan, to thank him. The brave Captain Pacha did not think this fufficient : he caufed the officer to be arreffed, and he was not reheated till he had proved, that being feparated from the fquadron by a gale of wind, he was ignorant that peace had been figned,---Moniteur.
