The most of-them, however, were either empty, or the small sums which they contained were thrown by the for nor Governer, Count Narbonue, into the principal chest. From the books it appeared that the total amount thus collected was S$ 1,084 francs in specie, tend 411,000 francs in bills on Paris. How inade quate this sum must have been, even to supply the pay and various wants of a mass of troops collected i theve,tothe amount of 30,000 men, it is easy to con- Iceir'..ln the Inst weeks, also, of the siege, the gar risef(44ezeised hardly any pay. Upon the whole, the Ceoitoittee reported to Gan. Tauenzien, that the rumour was wholly unfoundeci. The situation of the hospit .1s , t this garrison, on. its capture, was the most deplorable that can he cOri ; ceivcd. In the courts of the hospitals were found waggons laden with dead bodies, which little care I seemed to be taken to bury ; nay, there were even ' found corpses lying at the entrances half covered with snow. The atmosphere within the rooms was so pestilential, from the miserable objects them ! selves, and the foulness of the bedding and straw, that a person on first entering them could hardly breathe. The number of sick lying in this frightful state amounted to 2000; but now all the necessary , means have been adopted for their accommodation, and a Commission of Health has been appointed to ' prevent the spreading of this pestilence. - ' PRUSSIAN CAMP BEFORE GLOGAU,liatt.l5. i .

In the Papers received, the head-quarters of the Emperor of the FaVICII are stated to be Sesanno (we have no doubt , Gezame is a misnomer). It is about five leagnei from Nogent-sur-Seine, and twenty-six from Paris : situated between the two rivers, Marne and Seine. There were many reasons for concluding that on the 10th or 11th a battle .of some importance might be expected to take place; and to which the article of the latest date in the French Papers seems the prelude. We mean that wherein it is said that " letters announce that on the Bth and 9th, the, carp. of tke Marshal Duke of TAlteNTum was engaged. between Chateau-Thietry and . Epernay, with tie* divisions of the enemy"- , --'biacoona.Lo's division being posted in that neighbourhood. But these important matters still in a state of dubity, cannot long remain so: the next arrivals must Wei- Indy clear away all uncertainty. In the mean while, although the French Journals do not afford any sat:sinctory military details, they furnish us with . • (.iplornatic transactions, which excite surprise as cell as lively,interest. While the dire work of car. uagecontinnes in the camp, unexpected civilities are exchanged io ,the Cabinet : and at the same time; that cruel death is unrelentingly dealt out by the contending armies, rival dinners are exchanged be. tween the ceremonious Ambassadors at the place of negociation. This appears, indeed, a new era, in which the iron and the golden ages are become united, and the powers which wield the two metals, that constitute the character of those times, seem at once • roughly and refinedly struggling for pre-eminence.— We are almost ready to exclaim with the inflamed i end divine British bard— " Whatever ig, is not." ~,,_ 1, Upon the:above contra-indications, where we at i 1 imee witness'symptonts of unabated fury and return. ; ins friendship, one idea strongly forces itself upon ' the mind of the o'aservant statesman, which is, that the'Freneft funds were but a few days ago so, low as 47 and .a fraction ; and that although a failure in • ;he cash• payments of the Bdnk has so recently taken place, and also, although no 'account could have been. 44 et Paris of the reported victories, when the !!mullets froninthich we notice the new pricep were tied, yet were they unaccountedly raised to 63 and ! . tt fraction. • We are compelled then, in candoir Ind ! eommemtente, to draw an inference not very , Ilat i.l tering to the over sanguine of our countrymen; thst sl' V .the proem of negociation fot. , peace inoty .;. • ye• hese, er *road s it does riot •rue, et 144 - I H . .
