At the same time that he n a. engaged Li this mertianical employment, he likewi,e devoted himself, with success, to the sciences. :leveed' literary produttions made him known during the period of the Revolution, and occssionei I.i. appointment to various public offices. Thus, on the 10th of Audun, 171;2, he repaired as Civil Commissary to Belgium. In 1795, he re turned to Paris. His inclination, his tall stature, his robust cooscitution, and the ardour of youth, (for he was men no more than 'J years of age), induced him to change his former career for the military life. His rapid advancement was not the ,fen of intrigue mi favour. On the field of battle he was promoted step by step. In the ranks of the grenadiers, his comrades gave him, on account (.1 his intrepidity, like a second Latour D'Ailvergn, the appellation oi" The First French Grenadier." In his subs.-qitent commands in Switzerland, in Italy, and Holland, he maintained the same etlaradter for personal bravery, frequently rushing into the midst of danger, at the head of his comFrattions in armss He /list served in the department of I.a Gironde; 'supported tiarras on the 10th of Oloher, and materially coot, ibutei to the defeat of the 1- ' CO6iillip uho attacked rite camp of Grenelle. Soon afterwards he eras appointed General of Brigade, in the viaorious army of Italy, command by Bonaparte. At the beginning of 1797, the Austrians, er.cou/ aged by various successes, at ta.ked Verona General Brune led on the grena diers of the 75th demi.brigade against their can non, aid took them wi.li the bayonet.

This war was not nil••.•gderation. Solathurn opened its gates ; F.es:iu.g seas wormed t and Bern was taken, after is bloody en„wagument of f s,t teen hours. On the annievaary o/ dot battle of Marten, the battalions of the depict (mint of Le Cite d'Or, destioyed the bone-house at Murten, that monument, so morti fying to t..e French nation, of a viaory gained by the ancient Swiss. in 1476. General Brune, hay lug surmounted all the oh tacles which nature op posed to him. in Switzerland, dire.ned his attention to the r--etgitMzatiou of th e country. B at t h e Constitution Oionned by the. I.hre&ory for Helvetia. die tasted t'ae inhabit:Las of most of the Cantons. Tbe insutreCtion which it occasioned. and tie hor rors by which it was accompanied, were the work of the Lencn government of that &iv, cnons Par :4 the KWh' to base thaLlibteay force d larin them While Switzerland was a prey to anarchy, several couriers were sent by the Diteilory to meal General Brume. who was placed at the head of the army of Italy.

A con ventinn was concluded with General Brune, by which the citadel of Turin was delivered to the French. After receiving this pledge of sal:missing. General :crone issued a praclamatien, announcing die amnesty granted by the King to the insurgents, and requiring theist to lay down their arms, or they would be considered as enemies to France. At the moment when he war involving the advisers of tie King of Sardinia iii newt difficulties, and de. maneing liberty for the confined insargerns, as well to provision the citadel of Twin. imintoned to earls by an order of the raceived the commission to sup trued I me, a more conipkne terniu isalpine Authoritres, which, pion %vas the Frencn Troove.

It formallr disapproved the alte:ations made by its agents in the Constitution of the Cisa'pine Republic. and charged the new French' Ambassador. Fouelle. to restore to their situations those Cisalpine Diredois and Senators who'had suffered by the change. In the year 1799, a fresh war broke out to Italy ; and while the coalition was employing all its force against the eastern frontiers of France, England wa• equipping a f(11111IdAbIC expndition against littlland. The defence of the Batavian Republic s committed to General Brune; he resigned the command in Italy to General Joubert, and pro ceeded to the Texel, off which the English fleet soon appeared. Sir Ralph ,lhercrotnNy 14 teed at the Helder, and over-ran part of North Holland. General Brune, with the few troops s.:attered alang the coast, was unable to check the progress of the daily increasing British force, which might have annihilated tne French, but seemed to rely upon a counter-revolution in the interior. In no other way can the inaEtieity of the English, aftat their la.ding, he accounted fur. Mean•.ehile the troops detached from Belg;um, and from the camp at Liege, advanced by hasty marches, and Brune no longer hesitated to arras k the English and Russians. The latter, thirty-six hours after their disembarkation, were placed by the Duke of York in the advanced posts. In the first engagement tiny fuffered considerably from the French artillery ; they lost several pieces of cannon, some thousands of prisoners, and their General Herrmann. The contest still continued without cessation. Continually attacked, and receiving daily checks, the English were obliged to retreat. In one of this uninterrupted series of affirms, at Egmont, Genet al Brune was in the greatest danger A Cossack sprang upon him with his lance, and was on the pinnt of running him through, when one of the General's guides parried the blow, with the tog stroke of his sabre brnught the Cossack from his horse, cleft his sk•rll with a second, seized the horse, and said to Brune:—" My General, I present you the horse of a Cossack." After the evacuation of Alkmaer, the Duke of Yolk wrote to England. that for want of support, he was obliged to retire under the batteries of the Helder. The Cabinet of London now perceived that the expedition l,ad failed, and the third division of troops, whien was ready to sail from the English ;ruts, received counter.orders. Meanwhile a Courier brought General Brune a letter, in which the Duke of York de.ired to capitulate. This letter contained only a couple of lines, inviting him to r...ad the inclosed detailed dispatch of the Duke's Secretary. General Brune, in conformity with this new mode of negociatinn, likewise wrote a couple of lines, requesting the Duke of York to read the circuni-tantial answer of his Secretary. On the terms proposed by General Bruise, a capitulation was concluded; besides which, the English engaged to repair the batterie-, at the 'read, and all damages done to the country. On the 30th of November, 1;99, the evacuation of Holland was complete.l. The Russii.ns first departed ; but the elements re tarded the re-enibat kation of the English. The ever memorable 18th of Brumaire, or 9th of November, 1799, snatched the reins of Governirent from incapab!e hands, which were plunging France into ruin. Brune immediately informed his army of this important event ; and wrote to the Consuls, that his troops hart vied writ' each other in taking the new oath. Two months afterwards, in January 1300, Brune was called to the Council of State; and then received the honourable commission of restor ing internal tranqUility in France. as Commander in-Chief of the Western Army. General Hed(ar vine, who ha i before commanded in those agitated regions, supported him wit's hi; ..xperiehce and heal knowledge. Several Chonan Chiefs laid down their arms before General Bruce ; and those who still re sisted, were defeated in different engagements. In ternal peace was restored in La Vendee, and the moderation and energy of General Brune had the greatest ,hare in terminating the hug civil war. While he was engaged in the completion of this laudable work, the French armies had gained new advantages. Soon after the battle of Marengo, on the 13th of August, I nOO, General Brune was called from the tranquillised La Vendee, to command, a second tune, the army of Italy. As the negotia tions at Luneville, and the armistice that had been concluded, produced a suspension of hostilities, ke direaed his attention to the securing of the fruits of the viaory gained by Bonaparte ; and to the esta blishment of rigid discipline among the troops. The theatre of war again opened. General Brune resumed his wards the end of December, the passage of the Mineio, and repulsing the Austrians. with the lose of 24 pieces of cannon, and several thousand pri soner. On the I gtir of January, 1801, he passed the Adige, and advanced to Vicenza and Roveredo, where he received intellizrnce of the truce con chided between the Archduke Charles and General Moreau. Me, nevertheless, continued his viaorions march, in which he took from the Austrians, be tween the 25th of December and the 4th of January, 9010 prisoners, 36 pieces of cannon, and 5 pair of eslours. The peace of Luneville checked his farther pro gress, which would have brought him to the rirtht wing of General Moreau. As a Member of the C' until of State, General Brune, in November, ISOI, laid b•-fore the Legislative Body the Treity or l'etce concluded wish Naples. In the followi,g year he was appointed Ambassador to the Porte, wn:ch received him with rich pomp, and such dis tinrit shed honour, : as had not been for a long time conferred on any Minister. New clouds, however, arose at Constantinople. The Anglo• Russian party in the Divan, obtaining the ascendancy, General Rrune left Turkey. and returned to France, by way of Vienna, where he experienced a distineuished re ception from the Court. He readied l'aris,,in Fe bruary, I ao:,. Since toe 19;h of May of the pre. ceiling year, he had been one of the fourteen Mar. shah ot the French empire. At the meeting of the Semite, on the 2d:A of March, !WA he received frora the bands of the. Emparor, the Marshal's staff. and the grand cross of she Legion of Honour. Al the end of last year, the Empires', by a Decree is good at Warsaw, Appointed him Governor-General ot the Hanle Towns; and, ~ :1 the 21st of January last. Marshal Drone arrisrzai from the French coast, at Hansburgh, to assume that important office. - •..... THE BRITISH PRESS. LONDON, WEDNESDAY, APRIL 8. We received, last sight, Dutch Papers to the Ad .instant. Their eacusamkedaieghiell we have made some exgrads, are not important. It is stated, in an article from Munich, that a correspondence sub sisted between LUMArAaTg and the king ,it Sl4l. We have repeatedly Intit,L,:leJ, that the French Despot is endeavouring to bring aLotit a peace. When the King of POIL•SIA and the Em peror of Russia shall heir that Mr. CANNIN, is Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, they will, no doubt, pluck courage from the name, and swear eternal hatred to Bo AAAAA re. The specific motion of which Mr. Be •no has given notice for to-morrow, in the House of Com mons, has not, for obvious reasons, been suffered to transpire ; but it is generally understood to he an approval of the conduct of the late Mini s ters. From the great exertions made by thexe•peelive parties, it is supposed that the House never presented so full an attendance. The Opposition, we understand, ezpe3 that 273 will supp , itt tyir.

Trutt gallant Calomel, ai r Deputy Billets, yesterday garr notict i and tl, L .an M troa has accordingly fixed Monday a for an especial Coutt of Common Council, to r sider of the following motion : " That an humble and dutiful arsaLlress be present-;: ;„ H.

The second clause of this llAion is eq to an Address of congratulation upon th e of Ministry, and may be considered a very bold us. Jertaking on the part of Mr. Deputy 814C,1. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL of IRELAND hi been for some time in this city, and had left t , ,t a on his retnrn to Dublin, when the nftvs of l y e change of Ministry overtook him on the roa:l.— He immediately returned to town, and ma.kel his approbation of the conduel of the Ex-Minister;, by resigning his OiLe.

How contemptible The late Ministers thould sent intilions of money, and men without WM. her, to the Cmitinent. Away with prudence and economy, say th.l give u. plenty us ttlbaidies, and a march to Parrs. All this affeaed busty is easil j explained: Having repr ached their predecesio:: with having dune noth . ng, it is incumbent upon the New Ministers to chew what active fellows they are. Nut a man, ho:vever, of tie boasted twenty-five thousand has yet been embark. ed, nor a transport provided fur his conveyance. Those who knout the preparations necessary 13r such a force, laugh at this rhodomontaile ; but the ignorant are gulled by it. 'l%,e gallant General STUART, who distinguished bim,elt so much on plains of Maida, has been appointed, we be!ieve, to the command of the German Legion ; aNd it 14 hence supposed, that Ministers have a Continental expedition immediately in view. Their writers have accordingly raised the men, and provLittd them stores, transport+, &c. without delay; but they have found some difficulty in settling their destina tion.

Parltraxe,:. But the same Gaza% blowing hot and cold, sqs, that a dissolution will not be necessary, as the It: . ends of a certain Illustrious Personage will not vote against the New Ministry ; and the ADDINGTON party will support them. 'there is no au.': ,, tity fur this statement. The letters and papers brought by the Sar , h Chrigrana, were delivered out yesterday. Tiel contain no further intelligence, of any moment, re *peeling the late unfortunate occureace at Veilore.
