AUGUST S. the field of honour. AVarriors! the universe resounds with your high deeds. In the midst even of the disasters 'which have attli•.!ted your country, you have been signalized by vietories; , --in saving her, von put vonr entanies, who constituted the terror of-the world, to flight. Tite road traced by their flight has been I:it 6f your triumph.; if their precipitate march was at length •rued; and if we left the theatre of our virtories, it was only in the noble de sign of arriving at the goal of our wishes. Every one will be ton vimlal of this truth, when he considers, that, in the ',host murder ous battles whieh followed, me have gathered fresh laurels; that we have lost neither artillery nor men. exrept a few wounded; and Ora during the retreat whole butteries and battalions have fallen into our hands. • " Such is the fruit of that foresight which has governed all tom movements and all our operations. Preserve the same confidence in your Chick ; pay them the most perfect subtnission,--with those sentiments, and the spiiits which animates you, your arms 'will meet w ith ucw obstades. Prepare yourselves for new vielories : our Mona' eh is in the midst of lie will he a witness of your efforts, and reward each accot ding to Isis r.iurit." • FRENCH CRUELTIES. [FROM THE Conver otteur Imparaal.] The Berlin Ga:rtle contains the details of the horrible events which, Witter the direction of the Peen, h, sticped in blood fast spriog the country of 0 I lenburg. The eet , %%hid' inclined metes minds towards ind..peodenee are kuovr: ; t!T following is an ab btrilet of t% hat has been the constopience of this noble movement : `• Toe Soh-Prefect Froehet, had, on retiring,, appointed an Ad roioistratise Commission, composed of five members, charged with performing his Inactions during his absence. This Commission saw itself obliged, by the dismission given it by the Mayor of °Menlo'. g, to estabiish in its place a Communal Commission, composed of five inembers'of the ancient. Magistracy of the town, at the sante time it sent eilentAr letters into the province, by vehich it maiotained the Mayors of the rural Communes in their functions, under the name of Comnannal Commis:: inners. It charged them expressly to maintain tranquillity and good order in their distorts, and to form each, for this purpose, a guard composed of landholders. This measure, dic tated by the most wise local circumstances, was condemned os a crime in a letter written by Prefect Count Urberg; and as soon a. , the French re-appeared in that country, the five members of that cotninission ncrearrested and conducted to Bremen. The Military Commission, assembled by Gen. Vandamme, stated, among the principal charges of accusation against the Communal Commission, it having spoken in its circular, of troops which approached, with out having specified that it by that meant it expected French troops ; and its having signed, in quality of an Administrative Com mission, without having declared that it was a French Commission established by the Sub-Pretiwt. On those charges an imprisonment of six months was adjudged against the five Members. An ocolar witness, worthy of credit, assures us, that 'hullo; their interrogations they behaved With all that dignity which is the result or a con science without reproach, and that not one of them retracted, butt all agreed in having acted in concert. Bolt neither their conduct, nor their defence, had ;my influence upon the conduct of their op jeessors ;it was reqnested to make evaroples to spread terror. It was know n several day's before. at Bremen, that two of time Mem burs of that Commission were ;no-tided tor them, and that the lot would fall upon Messrs. Borger and De Fenk. " The French had, undoehtedtv, fixed urn those two vietims, because they had, in quality er Chancery Counsellors to the Duke of Oldenharg, the first places in the Administration of the country, that they were distinguished for their knowledge, and by time gene ral esteem—that, besides, their sienatores were first im order, in the documents pukliAted by the Commission. The three other Mem,- hers were M. de Negolein.•and the merchants Bolling and Klaeve mann. The interest they inspired is beyond all expre?sion. We are even assured, a ransom of 41,(100 crowns was altered for M. de Fel:. Both evineed the greatest resolution to the last moment. iu the horrible sentence was carried into execution. When it Nras wished to tie a bandage 04(1 Mr. de Burger's eyes, he begged he a'lowed the a. , :peet of that Hearne towards which he aro , : about to proceed. His request was granted, and he fell on the first foe. Mr. Fenk suffered longer, and it was not till after several discharges that his life was terminated. His last words were-1 recommend to J : t pay wife and eight ehildren. " The three other Members were forced to assist at time execu tion of their untimtunate colleagues. They were condeutoed to an imprisonntenti afterwards cc:imitated fur at tine."
