BETTS'S PATENT FRENCH DISTILLED BRANDT. 11113,1A1011. to REAL COGNAC BRANDY. At IN. ran IMPUIAL GALLOP! T cannot be too generally known that there exists in this I country a purely BRITISH SPIRIT, the product of our own mil, which has been brought to such perfection. as not to be dada giddied from the Seem Preach Brandy, excepting that it is free from those acid and astringent qualities which contaminate most of the Spirits Imported front foreign parts, and is in consequence decidedly more wholesome. This fact has been attested by some of the Ira chemists to the world, who have analysed the Baaum. as appears by testimonlab in the possession of Mr. J. T. BETTS, the Sole Proprietor and Patentee : copies of which may be seen at the. Printer's. - The value of this exquisite Brandy is thoroughly understood by all the considerable Dealers in the Kingdom ; but to BRETT, of 109, DRURY-LANZ, London, belongs the merit of introducing it to the Public in its true and lee. tissue character, by the single gallon, which, by an arrangement with the Patentee, he it enabled to offer to coonoiseeurs and families on distillery terms, for cult on (or before) delivery in London.

Immediately after he was named Lelgionnaire, ant was the youngest officer decorated in the French army. Ile was sent into Italy, and from thence to Constantinople, being one of the officers destined to defend that capital against . the English. He afterwards offered to go into Persia with General Gardanne, plenipotentiary minister to that Court, who was taking with him several officers of different classes to organize the Persian army d l'Europeenn , . Chosen by this general to establish the materiel and per sonnel of the artillery, he built an arsenal at Ispaban, where he cast 50 pieces of cannon, which he presented to the Persian monarch. After having rendered many se: - vices, and acquired much local information, he return ed to Europe, by the way of Russia, in 1809. He serve.l some time as volunteer in the Polish army, under the orders of General Poniatowski. He came back to Vienna, where he found himself Captain by seniority, and was placel in the Imperial Guard. Having returned to France, be became, in 1811, Aide-de-Camp to the Duke of Ragusa, whom he accompanied in his Spanish campaigns. After the battlu of Salamanca, be was sent on a special mission to Napoleo:i, who was then in Russia. He arrived at the Emperor's camp the eve of the famous battle of the Moscosva ((th of September, 1812), and the next morning, notwithstandinl• the fatigues of an immense journey . from Spain into t!, heart of &mitt, he was seen, as a voluntter, serving a cannon, and wail severely wounded at the tumult against 'grand redoubt: Named chef d'escadro► by the Ewers,. en the field of battle, he ret ailed to France, and afterwards, attached to the sixth corps, served in the campaign of Sax ony in 1813. Promoted to the rank of officer of the legion of honour, and oolonel of the staff, he was present at tlia 41aavaign of France in 1814. He served, in 1815, as vo- AwMeer, upon the frontiers of Lorraine, his native country, lwhich was then being ravaged by the Cosiacks. In 1817, he accompanied to Lyons, in the quality of 614 Oa officer, the Marshal Duke of Ragusa, at epoch of the important mission, the Marshal had to discharge in that town. The Marshal's administrati of Lyons was furiously attacked by the journals, aud defend ed by Fabvier, in a pamphlet written with astonishing spirit. and frankness. General Centel one of the principal rides of Lyons, who had been dismi..sed from office by tip; Duke of Ragusa, accused Fabvier of defamation.TheCOlonel though defended by his elder brother, an advocate of Nanci, who gave, on this occasion, the strongest proofs of talent and energy, was condemned. After the sentence, Col. Fabvier was reformed, and the next year placed in disponibiliti. Com merce then became the object of all his occupations. , About August. 1820, Col. F. was arrested ; the Government wished to convict him for meddling in the affairs of that epoch, but the Chamber of Peeks, assembled in high criminal court, did justice to the accusation, and restored him to liberty. Nearly about this time, Fabvier came to England, where a young bdy of high rank and beauty, and wilinown t &whim). able world, fell in love with him:\ n Colont? was set lossoeible to her charms and Au erestedness, but he nobly deferred a final union, till he kg relieved Greece, to limo struggling sons he had already offered the aid of his wart He a gave it, and when every other philhellenin volunteer was obliged to return with dissast, Fabvier remained supporting every species of privation rather than abandon a nation, who, though unworthy of him in many respects, were yet shedding their blood to throw off the Ot toman yoke.
