We do not know oil perusing such a story whether more to despise tyre Char/ohm who played the principal part, or the People so egregiously frivolous and degraded as to endure the tragic fooleries of such a Cox comb. We have beard tuna of the excesses committed by the Cossacks in France, and God knows the outrages to which a Country is exposed when overspread by the best disciplined hostile army, are enough to tnake liumanity - shudder 'and nature weep tears of blood.

The minds of the French were exasperated. They every. where asked which was the most dmizeruns enemy . of I:'rancy ? 'Frenchmen tied before their own Countrimen. At length, to arrest 'the spreading evil, Napoleon, who knew not how to provide either suhsist elice or pay for his soldiers, issued a Proclamation, &c. It was confined to the Army, and Napoleon' took especial care that-it shriul4 not reach Paris: . . " Order of the Day, deed Nogent, Feb. 8.

The con ditions were, that France should return to her' finther li flits, and an Extraordinary and Secret Council of the Regency almost unanimously de cided, that the tennis should be.aceepted, ,but, as M. GIRAUD observes of the Tyradt, " his good fortnne betrayed him, by caressing him, and he lost every thing, because he believed he had•gain-' •ed all." . _ . The last grand. desperate plan, which ended in. the 'overthrow of . the Usurper, viz. his March to . throw himself between the Allies and the Rhine,' is narrated with some new cirenins:tances, but the Author does not seem to he aware, that it- was in ileveloving his army -by Areis-sur=Aube- in 'this mauceuvie, ~that litioNAPanTE first enabled his enemies to ascertain the, real amount-of his force, the comp: moire weakness of which determined them to hire him to defeat, by appearing to fall. into his- -stratagem, while in- fact, they seized the opportunity of marching upon Paris. This was a r deeisive movement on both sides; and the, happy result is known, but neither the above tact, which we state Upon= our own unquestionable "in formation ; nor the intelligence contained in this volume, that BUONAPARTE had taken measures to concentrate all the garrisons of the places on the Rhine, to cut oft the retreat of the Allies, are generally, if at all, known.to the public. We al most tremble to look hark to the crisis when these Tlieastlt . C3 were attempted, but the resolution of the adscraarY was too late. . We shall not pursue the. History through the scenes which terminated in the capitulation of Paris, but rionclude these remarks with noticing a statement which says little:for the accuracy oi the Author ; .and another which.ation'o3 a novel instance of the atrocious character of the Tyrant. At (he baule.of Toulouse, M. GIRATiD informs us abosit 16 or 18,000 mcii repulsed, during 'a whole day, the'attacs .of an enemy infinitely superior, and that they destroyed 20,000 of the enemy, prin cipally Sriniards. Surely the man Wfio could gravely relate this, had no ground for ridiculing the Corsican's The'other transaction to which we have alluded, is of a more credible nature : atter noticing that ninny persons who impeded the,anajitious views of the Malian dis appeared so apropos, that it almost seemed as if the bullets of the Enemy Were commissioned to accomplish his purposes, hesubiains ip a note the following Less superstitious solution of these Pro vi*:rtial in Iciferpees •, " I ‘rill mention one Fad' onlv amidst a thousand which nub•^a lie ci!efl.

The order published by the King to this effect, expressly in dicates that these troops reach their provisional destination on the Elbe and the Oder, the far . ther destination to their future garriSons in time of peace will most probably take place.. - LETTER FROM VIENNA, JAN: 23.—The nego ciations concerning the Slave Trade seen now, in consequence of generotd sacrifices on the part of England, likely to lead to the conclusion, that Spain and Portugal will agree to abolish it on the terms prescribed to France in the Treaty of Paris, that is in four years. Several notes have again been exchanged about Poland and Saxony, with out leading to any official publication of the re sults,. so ardently expected. Though none of the PoWers are willing to give the first cause for War, when after such long struggles, and the best founded hopes of peace, it would, be highly un expected and generally detested tlirouglidu: Europe, and most destriictive in its consequences; yet each of the Allied Powerg abides so firmly by its principles or pretensions, that each expects the first concession to come from the others.
