This garrison was composed of a detachment of troops of the line, of a corps of national guards, and of some Dunaniers. Immediately atter the occupation of this fortress, a corps of Prussian troops proceeded towards Thionvillc. Verdun is 'expected to be attacked immediately. The taking of Lungwy calls to mind one cf the most affecting anetdotes of the French ReVolution. The Prussian army attacked it in 1792, it was in Ito way pre pftred for a siege. AL de Saverne, the Governor, was forced to 3.lrrender Mier :i. short resistance. living summoned before the Revolutionary tri bunal at Pnris, he was condemned to suffer the penalty 'Of death as a conspirator.

PAM, Strr. 13. LETTER FROM A VOLU NTEER. These French have no ('llaracter. Many of them were quite impatient for the day when Colonel Labedoyere was to be shot, as he deserv ed. But the curiosity of these polished French men *ere not excited either by the convic tion of the justice of the sentence, or by ge- - herons pity, which may be afforded even to the criminal hut they wanted to see .him shot, and Why ? because he was in his person a very handsome man. He conceived his part well, and our friend 141--ri at the moment of his merited death, made his epitaph. " Couta;reuus and bold, he died the death of the wicked, hut only the death u? tiie itst i 3 great." _ _ Now their beads are full of Ney ; they would delrly like to see a Marshal shot. We intend to celebrate the anniversary of the victory of Leipsig on the 18th of October, upon the heights of Montmartre. We ivait with in expressible eagerness for this glorious day, with which we shall combine those of the 18th and 19th of June. We are preparing our patriotic Songs. LAUSANNE, SEPT. 12.—The news received from Wurtemberg, that the King had acceded to all the demands of the States relatively to the an cient constitution, are, it seems; for the present, to be Understood With the limitation that the King has declared, that when the States are again called together, it shall be according to the basis of the ancient constitution. There are, howcl-cr, the best hopes, that the differences in that coun try will be appeased by granting demands that are founded on absolute necessity. For the rest, a public spirit, and firm union, which honour the German character, slim themselves in this coun try, which must make the Sovereigns see that it is high time to understand and to respect their people. It is affirmed, that the attention of some great Sovereigns has been attracted by what is going forward, and that they have recommended and amicable arrangement. A t/GSI3URG, SEPT. 1-1.--- 7 - -The Milan Courier states, that the fate of the lonian islands is finally decided and that they are to form an independent republic under the protection of Great Britain.

The above facts, and othei• very important in;. telligence, will be found in our subsequent ex•• tracts from the Paris Journals of Saturday last, the 23d, which have just reached our Office. We re joice to see that the Revolutionary Ministerial Fabric has received a death-blow. The change which has - taken place (whoever may be the Suc cessors of the 13tionapArtists, Jacobins, &e. who have too long appeared as the Advisers of a Bour bon Prince) plainly declares that the better system has prevailed. 'The factious may call the stipporters of that system, White Jacobins, Re-actionaries, - Pure Royalists, or what they please, but it is 11917 evident that the voice of France is united tb Old voice of Europe, in desiring that they eliotild piedominate in the Councils of that Country.H If any pledge can be given for the continued re pose of the earth, it must come.from men like these, who have some character, some faith, some claim to be trusted, and not from trebly perjured, san guinary rebels. There are, it' will be seen, various lists of the supposed new Administration.
