Men of all nations, who visited the sepulchre which Madame Nry erected over the ashes of her illustrious husband, inscribed with pencils their trunnions and sentiments of his virtues and valour. These inscription., in some instances—by their praises of the tono who, in the cause of his count , was the 1 , bravest of the brave"—seemed to re flect on the present dynasty; whose s)cophasits wrote counter-in.crip I, above or below those which haul been the tribute of English, of Itus•iass, of Prussian, and of American respect; mind the Police put ass end to this war of sentisisetit, by causing the tomb to be removed. Nothing now in dicates the spot where lie the remains of the mats whose history is known to all Europe ; and unless the ciaiweasa of this romantic burying ground. ur some one who knows the spot, points st out, a stringer might traverse the hill of Mount Louis for a mouth ere he could find that speck of its surface which the ashes cf the murdered Ni, have consecrated. The xril, or iron-railing, still exists ; and Britons, who know that it fences so sacred a spot, lean gently on it, and talk over the infraction of the Convention of Paris, which allowed the Prince of the Moskwa to be immolated to per sonal envy and implucsble bigutry.--( Dublin Freeman's Journal.)

But it was soon universally understood that the French were in full retrtat ; there wits now no hove of a great pitched battle, mid all that I could expect was, that as our regiment formed rut of she advance, we might now and then have a brush with the rear.guard French, which was, you know,. composed of the flawer of the army, and c anded by Michael Nil, the " bravest of the brave " t will give you, in another letter, an account of the most striking scenes I witnessed during the pur suit alter our most ferocious enemy. They had been cheated out of a victory over us (so they said, and an, in Gallic presumption, they problibly felt), when wine mouths before, Mancini beheld that army which he dire:stein-al to drive into the sea, frowning upon him front impregnable heights, all bristling with cusituni. Instead of bottle, and conquest, and tr . ph, they had long remained ill hopeless inuc , ivity, mid at last, their convoys being intercepted by the guerillas, they had en dured the most intense nil-cries of famine. Accord ngly, when they broke up, the soul of the French uglily was in a burning &vet of savage wrath. The consummate sk II of their leaders, and the umni tigateil severity of their discipline, kept the troops in !iron and regular order ; and certainly, an all oc casions, ally' I had an opportunity of seeing the rear-gmaril, its movements were most beautiful.— I could not help g the mass moving slowly away, like a us oiltionde of demons, all obeying the signs of one si n ister spirit. Cull me not illiberal in tints speaking of our foe. Wait till you have heard font me a detaled ac count of their metriless butcheries, and then you will ad-nit, that a true kffight wilier; not the leas of chivalry in uttering his abhorrence of blood thirsty barbatians. The ditches were often literally filled with clotted and coagulated blood, as with mire—the bodies of peasant., put to death like dog, were lying there horribly tie ingled ; little naked infants, of a year old, or less, were found besmear ed in the mud of the road, transfixed with bayonet wounds—and iu one instance, a flab!, of about a mouth old, I myself saw with Inc bayonet left still sticking m its and matrons were found lying dead aids ciao I and shameful wounds : and, as if some general law to that effect had been promulgated to the Henry, the limits were hanged ritioa trees by tile road-side.

There was no reatiqiii to anticipate any adventure or danger in the coovefit ; ye' the 'gild eyes, and the wilder voice of the ~i,l "„„, powerfully affected me ; and though oft, r a ll, ale was only such un old woman us our may owe one where, I malty began to invest her still many iiii. posing qualities, till 1 found that, in a.rot of reveik, I bud r walked up a pretty long flight of sit ps„ at d war standing at the entrance to the cloisters of the convent. 1 then saw something that made me live( di. ly forget the old woman, though what it was I diti see, 1 could not, in the first innintiiits of my atuu.zi. talent and hot ror, very distinctly comprehend. Above a hundred dead bodies lay and sat before my eyes, all of them apparently its the very attitude ur posture in which they had died. I loekett at theist fur at least a minute, before I knew that they were all corpses. Something in the mortal silence of the place told me that I alone was alive in this dread ful company - . A desperate courage enabled ate then to look steadfastly at the scene before sne.— The bodies were mostly clothed in mats, sod rugs, and tattered great coats; some of them mere) , wrapped round about with girdles of straw, and two or three perfectly tusked. Every face had a differ euit expression, but all painful, horrid, agonised, bloodless: many glazed eyes were w.de (sprit; awl perhaps this was the most shocking thing in the whole spectacle. So flimsy eyes that saw not, ail seemingly fixed upon different objects ; souse cast up to 1-leaven, some looking straight forward, and some with the white orbs turned round, and drip sunk in the sockets. It aas a sue t of hospital. These wretched beings were mocly all desperately or mortally wounded ; and after having been stripped by their coinrades, they had been left there dead and to die. Suet, were they, who, as the old hag said, would out tiou. ble sae. 4 I had begun to view this ghastly sight with some composure, when I saw, at the remotest past al' t h e hospital, a gigantic figure sitting, cover.il alio blood and almost naked, upon a rude bedstes, , with his back leaning against the wall, and Ins el. fixed directly on mine. I thought he was ally. , and shuddered ; but he was stone ad. In last agonies he had bitten his wider lilt I cu.- tirely off, and his long black beard was dreliciacii in clotted gore, that likewise lay ir. large blots his shaggy bosom. One of his hand« had consist sively grasped the wood-work of the bedstead. % had been crushed in the grasp. 1 recogoised corpse : he was a seijeaut in a gren sitter regiiiieii•. and, during the retreat, distinguished Ihr sets of savage valour. One day he killed, with his own halal, Harry Warburton, the right-hand man of my IM company, perhaps the finest made and most power ful man in the British army. My briliErre hail nicknamed him with a very coarse appellation, and I really felt as it' lie and I were seqiiaintances.— There he sat, as if frozen to death. I wrist up to the body, and raising up the giant!' muscular arm, it fell (1-)wii again with a hollow souu.l against the bloody side of the corpse. My eyes iinconscitassly wandered along the wall-. They were covered with grotesque figures and ca - ricaturts of the English, absolutely drawn io blood. Horrid blasphemies, and the most «hock ing obscenities in the shape of songs, acre in like manner written there; and you may guess what aim effect they had upon me, a hen the wretch. a wit. had conceived them lay all dead corpses around my feet. I saw two books lying on the Hoor ; I !if:, it them up. One seemed to be full of the ttio.t hideous obscenity ; the other was the ! Ir r. impossible to tell you the horror reduce by this circumstance. The books fell fr hand; they fell upon the breast of one of the tie dies ; it was a woman's breast. A women hail lived and died in such a place us this ! ‘l'l.at had been in that heart, now still, perhaps only a few hours before. I knew not. It is possible, lose strong as death—love, guilty, abandoned, de praved, and linked by vice unto miseiy—but still love, that perished but with the lag throb, aii.l yearned in the last couvolsion towards some clue these grim dead bodies. I think some such idea as this came across me at the time; or has it. now only arisen ? Near this corpse lay that of a pellet t but•, cer tainly not more titan 17 years of age. There way a little copper figure of the Virgin Mary round hi. tie •k, suspended by a chain of hair. It was of little value, else it hail not been suffered to reittatit there. In his hand was a letter; I s.iw enut trh to know that it was from his mother—Mon eherPs. &c. It was a terrible place to think of mother-- of home—of any social homy.' ties.
