Gene; serve F! MoREA declare, France dcterm who sh he ncv winced than so' tier th to the should having Princr i attenti, friends, must be convinced that Moa EAU 'as not privy to the enterprize; and we know that in confidential conversa tions with his friends in America, he constlntly not only denied any previous knowledge of it, but even condemned the plan itself. Ile used to say, that to effect any change in' France the people should wait till. men and revolutiona7:n springs were worn out : and he thought that moment had arrived when he met his death-wound under the walls of Dresden. General MottEAu wrote since to his lady; his letter, dated the SOth of August (and not the Ist and 2d of September'. is that of a tender father and affectionate husband, unmindful of his sufferings, and of the danger which threatens his life, and anxious only to soothe the anxiety of an amiable compa nion, from whom he has received so many proofs of attachment. Ha wrote, in a very few words, that he had been wounded, and had suffered the amputation of both his legs, but beg of her not to be alarmed. Ills daughter too, their only child, Occupied much of the attention of the Hero, but still the good cause for which be had so severely suffered was present to his mind. Ile requests bis Lady not to credit the reports she may bear of the retreat of the Allies, which, be says, was not a reverse, but a slight deficiency in the arrange- Silents ; the words are—" ce n'cst pas un rercrs, MdiS un rousu." He adverts in two or three words to the good for tune which, as usual, attended BUONAPARTE in the present instance, and gives hial a most appropriate appellation. The hand writing was but little altered. At the bottom of the letter, Colonel-Adjutant RAPPATEL, who was in this country * year ago, and proceeded hence to Russia, where he has de. served by his good conduct to be named Adjutant to the Em peror of Russta, writes with the permission of the General, under the same date, and informs Madame MOREAU, that on that day, the wounds had been dressed and looked well, and that the fever had considerably abated. He_ adds, that the Surgeon, in a particular conversation he had with him, had given him consinerable hopes from the appearance of the wounds, the decrease of the fever, and the magnanimity and composure of mind the General had evinced ever since the accident. Mr. RA r pATET, then begs of Madame 11 , 1 0 - ksau not to credit any of the reports which she may bear, promising never to disguise the truth frotn her. " I feel con fident," says he, " that we shall save him," On tie Ist of September Mr. RAPP A TEL added the fol lowing W:Jds to the above letter—" Every thing goes on welt, he is quiet."— ; " /out, birn des! Ira:qui/le." From all these circumstances we were induced to hope that the wounds of General NIOREA IT would not have proved fatal, and that lie might still have lived to see the successful ic, Ire and _ the vill4,e of Kiclingsweelder, Sept. 2. " Silesia is delivered from the enemy. It is to your valour, bravo eoldirrs of the R,,ssian and rrubsian a; ray under my coeumand, to your efforts and patio' - e in bearin4 futignoi and wants, that I owe the good fortune of having wrested a beautiful province from the hands of a rapac'ons e , " In the Little of the liatabach, the enemy advanced pressing). !unusly upon you. Cnuri.:.sonsly, ItHil with the rapidity of light. a;n!, you bunt thrill fe one behind your heights. You disdained firing at thum. V:oe advanced against them with the bayonet, and thrust them down the steep banks of the rapid Niess and the Katz. back " Yon hive since wailed through rivers and swollen torrents. You I: , .ve spent whole nizlits in the mud ; several of you even with out provi:ions, as the badness of the road . . and the want of convey ance prevented the supplies from coming up. You had to struggle with cold, damp, privations of all sorts, and even of clothes, &c. you did not repine; you diligently pursued the beaten enemy. Thuile* to you Ow such praiseworthy conduct. He only is a brave sold:cr who unites such qualities in himself. " You have in your hands 103 cannon, 250 tntnisils, the camp hospitals, the enemy's forges, his flour waggons, one General of Division, two ltrigidier-Generals, a great number of Colon-Is, Of. crrs of the Staff, and others, 18,000 prisunets, two eac:es, with other trophies. The rest of those who were opposed to you in the battle of the Katzbaeh, were so much panic•struck as to be unable to hear the siuht of your bayonets. You have seen the plains be. tween the katzbach and the Bober ; tl:Ey bear testimony of the ter ror and consternation of your enemies. " Let us scud up our thanks to the Lord of Hosts, by whose aid you have defeated the enemy ; and, assembled in Divine Service, prostrate ourselves before him for the glorious victory he has granted 11%. Let your devotions close with three burro, and then once mote against the enemy." The td battalion, 40th regiment, recently quartered near Waterford, is under orders to embark immediately flora Cork for St. Sebastian's. It is also said, that the 37th regi ment is to be brought forward to the same destinatioc, from. thbraltar, in order to form part of the garrison of St Sebas tian's, which is considered the Gibialtar . of the North 'of Spain : a corps from the southern Gibraltar is therefore se !Wed, as particularly adapted for the foundation upon which the new garrison of this important station is to be foi med. The remainder of the garrison, it is expected, will consist of Spanish regiments, to whom, after a little time, the whole charge of the place will be committed. A letter from Hull, states, that Commodore Roegers had visited Archangel, where he destroyed eight vessels. The Park and Tower guns fi;ed on Tuesday, to celebrate the victory of the Allies over Vandamme. Buonai - )arte's last Ilulletin gravely declares, thit General Jomini (now in the Prussian milks) is conc . , 7;;;.61 to thath.
