" In defiance of themai ly scull+ of au insulting enemy, this nation has, during the" late Continental War, re-established its military character, and vindicates! . its ancient restoivii.

Under such a Leader as the Duke of tVellington, and with such brave companions in anos, nothing was too ardutius fur a British Offi cer to achieve. Sir J.

I have completed that - part of a shint toznr whieb•einliracei the in► n teat of war ; that is, I have passed IVI-sx, la Ferte-ons jOtiarre, Chat eauThierry, SuissUlis, Lana, Craone; Ana, Corherry, Rheims, 'Chalons, and Troyes.— Thinking . . that a short digre,sion from yoar itu rirmtiate object, Paris, !unay not be disa.gree able, 1. shall proceed at once to tqalce such Extracts lion'' , in Jour!)•Fil as relate to this sub.:. ject„ and which way give a new. feature to the political and military - .details respecting these places‘whieh are llngland. My HI a (mei of procnring inforithitim was by conversation with the inhallitafifs,ofall sorts, especi \ ally in:the respectable shops - and for th loses, - the bOoks of the Prefectures and Scuts-Trefectures of the. Departments, wliich.were•readily shdwn me. In the immediate neighbour' hoo-d Of Paris, somefeW houses are destroyed ; and at 'Meaux, the explo sion of the powder Magazine, by,an unlucky tic- . cident, overthrew five or six in its reach. The inhabitants of this town speak with much more bitterness of the losses'they sustained from thci . r' own countrymen than of the ill conduct Of the Allies, who, from all I could learn, seent to have given no grounds for compliAint. In this, as in other parts of the country, when oilier fuel could not be procured, the furniture, the doors and witi- do w frames, were, ok necessity, converted to this At La Forte, the Sallie story as ;it use, and burnt. Meaux. At Chateau Thierry, the Russians, who were worsted in a skirmish under the town, are much complained of, but yet I heard nO fact of sin gular atrocity, or more than usually befalls a coun try occupied by hostile armies ; some women (the aged and infants,. for the others had saved them selves) were violated, and some shops pillaged, but this by the license of individuals, contrary to the general order. The gold and silyer of the country was, of course, concealed as much as possible. Hence to Soissoos, the country is na turally so bare and desolate that it could not suffer' much .(for the, population and number of Villages, are always in proportion, to the goodness of 'the soil); but to the right and left are a few farm-' houses destroyed, probably because they Vt'Cr deserted. Soissons itself has suffered terribly. The ruin of its ancient chiaches and abbeys, more than 30 of which were destroyed in the Revola lion, is now completed; the suburbs levelled with the ground. And who have done this mischief? The Allies - ?'no, the Freud!) themselves, and that with cir cumstances of unnecessary cruelty. The.enemy Was yet at Laon when the order was given; there was there - fore no cause for extraordinary haste, but yet the conflagration was commenced without an hour's notice, and the iithabitant s, who might have saved their goods, were deprived of all, with a barbarous and wanton atrocity. I have myself conversed with a poor fellow who offered to destroy his house, and begged only for a respite of 12 hours ; this was refused ; and himself, a wife, and six young children, are reduced to a state of the most abject poverty, from one 'of comparative affluence. To complete this little history, his house was a new purchase; and. had not yet been paid for. 'But after thus exhibiting the black- character of. the French .soldiery, it is but just to give due praise to the character of French Men; the sufferers have every where been assisted with the greatest liber ality by their neighbours, who have reeeived•them into their houses, and supplied them with .food as far - as their 'means extended. Many nevertheless still inhabit the numerous and unwholesome vaults with which Soissons abounds from th e ruin of its religious houses. The loss •of SoissOns `is eltimated at 4,000;000 francs ; that of the De= parlment 04.; Aisne, at 46,000,000 ; in the neigh bouring Department of Aube 1,450 houses have been destroyed, but the amount of the losses is not yet collected,. In speaking of the *des,' the - frencb universallyattribute the success of the Allies to treachery, especially in MARNIONT ; and, as far as may be judged from the sititation of the fields of battle, there is some reason to believe this, especially after the battle of Granite, and in the capture of Lunn. Between these two positions, there is a hill commanding a valley, which the Allies were obliged to cross in their retreat from Craone; - Maataoa - 2. was ordered to occupy this bill; but did not, in consequence of which the. Allies reached Laon easily. ; bad he clink it, they must haVe sustained a terrible loss, or been obliged to take the direction of Soissons, which was BUONA PARTE'§' principal ohjeCL Laon was impregna ble, (as rtyJNArARTE found afterwards) without treachery, PHIL O-VIATOR.
