The garrison are prisoners of war, and are not to serve again, till they are ex changed. Eighteen cannons, and ten mortars, have rbeen taken there.

Some of the Parisians go so far as to insi nuate, by hints and inaendos, that Bouerearc does not always restrain the violence of his temper, even in his intercourse with the Empress, and this conduct is supposed to operate so powerfully on her health and spirits. The people of Paris remained tranqnil, though groaning under a load of. Private as well as public misery.

'We have received but few private communications from the Army under the Marquis of Wetaastoron, on the subject of the late splendid victories. The particulars which we are enabled to lay before our Readers are, nevertheless, gratifying. Sou Les army, although more numerous than was- expected, was composed of . a motley collection of old Men and boys —the latter were literally whipt forward to the at tacks, and of course fell into the most complete dis order. The French loss woo consequently enormous —some accounts say in the proportion of five to one. It appears that SOUL? entertained no suspicion of the fidelity of the Nassau and Frankfort German Regi ments, which came over to the British on the 10th, for he placed them rather in advance. They were originally 4000 strong, but mustered only 1700 when they came over. Their Officers state, that mutiny and desertion prevailed to a considerable extent in the French army, and that SOUL? had been compelled to place the Italian troops be had with him in the rear, with a view to prevent them from going over to the Allies in a body. The French Officers are . sick of the war, and curse the great NAPOLEON with out much reserve.
