The effect would be twice as brilli a nt, and ten tiines more delightful. The inne. of the LITERARY FUND in Gerard street was brilliantly illuminated with P. R. Ackermnnn's Repositoryexhibited a large trans parency, representing Buonaparte in the field of battle, seated owildrum, his bands under his chin, and elhOws on his knees ; opposite, oh a dii mounted cannon, was seated Death, 'who, in the same, position, was staring the tyrant in the face. In the back ground Were seen the French Legions overthrown, flying, and pursued by the victorious Allies. A large circle • surnionnted the whole, brilliantly illuminated with gaS. We rhall begin our review of the Illuminations in the City with the India HouSe. howeter, the display was but meagre ; the whole consisting of a few festoons of lamps entwining some of ttie 'pillars in the front of the building, and the let ters G. R. surmounted with a crown. The gene ral appearance was very inferior in brilliancy to what we have witnessed on former occasions.. • ].loving westward, our attention Was attracted by the•illumination at the NeW London Tavern, where the words " Leipsic and Nictory" were displayed - in large letters toningd of variegated lamps. The Excise-011ice was but sparingly de corated, and presented nothing novel. The illumination at the,Bank, however, by far surpassed in elegance and splendour, every thing else in this qutrter of the nietropolis. The ex tensiVe range of building which it presents•pos sesses great capabilities of effect, and they were improved to the best advantage. • The various compartments of the range were occupied alter nately by stars and circles fortnett . by the most brilliant laMps. These extended throughout the . whole length of each of the wings ; and the prin cipal entrance was decorated by the initials of his M.ijesty, and a most brilliant star of large (amen- . sions, surmounted by a crown. The alert of the whole was highly pleasing, from its extent, regn larity, and brilliancy. The Mansion-house was, neatly and tastefully lighted up. The illumination diet not displav much breadth, but the interchange and brightness of the variegated lamps prodUced a pleasing effect. It cobsisted Of the initials, G. It. surmounted with a star and crown, and the whole surrounded with wreaths of laurel. Guildhall, a G. 8.. a brilliant star between, a crown over, and a range of small lamps along the balcony: • At the Post. (Mice - there was nothing' partieu , larly'deserving of notice, except that the lung. en trance from Lombard-street exhibited a splendid vista, which it:minded us of the covered walks in Vauxhall Gardens'. Arches at lamps were suspend ed throughout the whole of its extent, and the view was terminated 4y a star of variegated lamps. In Cheapside there was little to detain the at tention of the spectators. • At one window we oh served a well executed transparency of the Spread Eagle of the Russian and Austrian terms,' but from its minuteness it was liable to be overlooked.— There was also no allegorical transparency at the corner. of King-street', which excited some ob servation. It represented Atlas sustaining the globe Upon his ample shoulders, while the Euro pean quarter of it was prominently displayed, as if illuminated. The houses of Messrs. PELLATId GREEN, and of Mr. BAILEY, the glass-manufacturers, in St. Paul's Church-yard, %vele illuminated. The latter had the word Leipsidt" in - large let ters, surniminted with olive branches, ethblema tie of the prospects of peace opening t Europe from that great battle. On *Ltiiig2ite-hill, the il lumination at Mr. &noes merited particular oh;- servation. The lludson's Bay House, in Fenchurch-street, was well lighted up. The only novelty which it presented were tridents formed of lamps. Goldarnitl►'s Liall was tastefully ornamented in the front with festoons of variegated lamps, over , hung by. a large GAL and a Crown, in golden letters. Bridewell Hospital made one of i the most dazzl ing appe•irances : the whole front was one sheet of fire ; G. it. in very large letters, was on front of the building, with a crown of the largest (Haien slung, and most brilliant effulgence, on top ; the word " Mina," in very large letters underneath, and a double row of festooned lamps along. the base,' and every window arched over with bright lamps. In Garden court, Temple, we noticed in the window of a German Gentleman, we belioe, the following striking and appropriate tratn,parency : at one side of the window was an Austrian spread double Eagle, with the motto underneath, " Vint Germania," on the other side was a reversed French Engle, with a falling crown, and the motto, " Ca dens NAVOLEON," in the middle, and " Leipsig" underneath. The Office for the Patent Anti-Attrition Com position, at Charing-cross, was very beautifully int:initiated with a Star and an Anchor, and with the 'words " The Allies anti Victory;'' 'the Star to demonstrate that their 'cause is bright, dear-, and good, the Anchor that it is secure. - The. finvness of the- night enabled the crowds assembled in the streets to enjoy the gratifying spectacle without alloy -and as tar as we could p erce ive, good order and decorum generally pre- Oiled. As usual, however, the large space' . in front of Somerset-house allowed the Mob to as semble, and annoy time passengers with squibs and crackers.

Longle de, Bcoubeck, as well a - many others, who, with their Ninnies, perished in consequence.

Or the sane day, which was three days previous to the me morable battle of l-locidtschoote, he Was ap pointed by the late General llouchard Co the com mand of a brigade of that army which hettitnmand ed, and in gratitude for that favour, he denounced 'that Genefal for not having (as he was pleased to say), driven'the Duke of York and his army into the sea, and he was guiflotined in consequence. Manbrnge being besieged by the main.body of the - A t•ttriati army, with die view of causing a diver simt, on the 6th of October, West Flanders was :alai i .vaded by the. French, in three coluiuns, an 1 Vaiannme having represented to the National Directory the great benefits they might derive by the pillaging of t.ose countries, he was appointed to the command .of the left wing of that army ; and having taken `Without difficulty the town A' Fernes, he wrote a pompous letter to the 'Directory . (which must still be in the recol lection of many of your readers), in which he stated that he had that day taken Forties, and that he should be the next day at Nienport, and that on the day following lie should address them from Ostend; but Isl,euport being well defended by the late Captain IVilson, of the British Artillery, and the 'regiment of the Count de la Chartre, and some I!;itglish gun-boats, which raked his columns and killed many of his Melt, he was at length C01111')C11Cd to retreat, leaving the whole of his heavy artillery behind. Uxasperated at this disappoint - meet, having calculated as he had done, on the ( p ie lt e i t i t i; l l:r .te li c e oi b li c i t i u g hl obtain at Ostend, lie put to emigrants of to his own .acknowledgment, 20 the regiment of La Chartre, who had been made prisoners, and two Of them being of high rank (the one a 11 . 1arquis), he boasted of haying shot them . With his own hands. - The town and 'neighbOurhood of Fumes was plundered of every thing, and every crime committed on the unfortunate inhabitants, even too shocking to re late ; and when the Magistrates appealed to his humanity, looking at theta with the ferocity of a tiger, be told them lie would leaYe nothing except .the hare walls and their eyes to cry out of. Hav ing pillaged the town, and laid waste the sur rounding conntry, he returned with his blood:- hounds to Thiliquerque, where lie was, , suspentled from WS command by order of thePirectory, not for the crimes, he had coMmitted, but because he had nut gone to . Ostend, as he bad pro posed, and had undertaken to do ; however, ' on representing to the Directory the honourable manner in which lie had executed their, inten tions, and the plunder he had sent into France, and above all that he had put to death so many enemies of the French Republic, two of the principals with his own hands, he was considered worthy of . their confidence, and in as few days reinstated.— On the same, day Gen. Vandanime entered the town of Forties ; the towns of Menin and Coutray (the fenner of which was then'the head-quarters of the British army) were attacked by the right wing of that plundering army, under the command of Oetimls Davesnies and lloche, and after a Most gallant resistance during several days, both these towns were taken, and were, as well as the surrounding country, pillaged, hut without any of that cruelty or rigour with which Pones had been treateed.,'r he centre Column, conunanded bythe late Gen Ilona lid ovas on tileSlitlli day to have blockaded the fortress of YypreS on the hOilth and west side, to keep the garristin in check , to cover the pillage of the town of Poperingue, and the adjoining country ; but- that column 'having been obliged to support the right wing, poperingue was not taken till the lOti., and Gt neral Moreau, by whom it was taken, and Geueral Rolland, tinder whom he command `ed, being iiminane characters, whose object wigs, even in those .lays of terror, to tin all n the good in their power, anti prevent every evil, ' General Mm damme was sent to•iillage that town and neigh bourhood; in the smne in.t.iicrly manatee he had , done at Forties, and three hundred waggons, sent from France, were laden with the plunder of that town ; . even the . bells from the churches were taken, a's ivell as cattle and horses of every description, - and sever=al of the surrounding vil lages wantonly reduced to ashes, mid the most brutal cruelties, too shocking to relate, were com- H Il I 0 . , . . . . mittecl under his sanction L on tli. nufortnnate in- i' ktabitants:•several men, women, and even 'eh A,ll-n 1 vvere.absolntely hoc 'hied ; and b e ti ing san e ,, n! • ; t ,d'. hy the.
