WHKN every pspsipn sunk to rest, '
Together Hope nd Fear are sleeping,
And thought within the tranquil breast . ■
Alone hi* drowsy watch la keeping i
On tiptoe, in tbM silent bow *
(Sacred to feeling,)
Young Fancy quit* her secret bower,
Through the mind’* inmost chambers
ing.
So light her trefd, that eeaaon never
Awake* to stop the fugitive;
So swift her flight, with vain endeavour
He to pursue her track would strive,
Whehe palid Fear would never venture,-
There heedless hies the airy sprite, ,
And where Hope cannot, dare not enter i
She, hovering, wheels her rapid flight.
The name that timid Love, sq fearful,
Ne’er suffers to escape his tongue,
She dwells upon in accents cheerful,
And makes the burthen of her soag.
And wh<?ff the lyre of Hope, forsaken,
No longer charms the ear of Care,
Again she bids each string awaken.
And sing* away die fiend Despair.
The clgads o’er distaDt'prospects flying,
Take various forms at Fancy’s will j
“ They are But clouds,** Hope tells her sighing ;
Fancy replies, “ they’re pleasing still
“ ’Twas but the wind, that proudly ruling,
” Over the bowing foliage past
But Fancy answers, Reason chiding,
“ There’s musick m the wh stling blast”
In vain, from yonder cliff depending.
Fear’s shrinking eye the blossom meets ;
But Fancy, steepest hills ascending.
Can, if not gather, taste i s sweets;
‘And when the faded form of pleasure
Fond Memory can no more retain,
Fancy, thy lyre, in pKhitive measure,
Can win it from the shades again.

Reply uf General Sarrazin to General Bo
naftarte.
London, July 21, 1810.
General,
I have perused with equal astonishmen'
and attention, a narrative respecting my
self, which was given in the Moniteur of
the 4th of this month.
You quote only my memorial of 18th or
23d Frimaire; but I have addressed no less
than twenty to you ; the last dated from
the camp at Boulogne, August 27, 1809
which contains fourteen pages; whereas
this which you have quoted has only fou'
pages.
Since you broke me with the army o>
Italy, on being only suspected, why did y« i
restore me with the army of Brest ? If w
would obtain credit, we must at least Ik
consistent, and preserve an appearance oi
truth.
Whosoever shall read your narratives
and reflect upon what he has read, wil 1
discovef, in the tone of indignation will
which you speak, your mortification on my
.having had the good fortune to escape from
your Bastites,
You have appealed to my twenty-first and
last memorial, I beg you to read through
out—sooner or later, truth will get the bet
ter of imposture.
On the 18th of June you had given Gene
ral Clarke no orders to make any report to
you respecting me ; on the 2d of July, you
learned that I was in London, busy in un
masking your designs. You thereupon
dictated to your Secretary, what you be
lieved would do me hurt, and you made
General Clarke sign it with his name.—
The whole world knows that your minister*
are simply but so many puppets, not even
excepting General Berthier himself.
Having procuredfeny discharge from the
regiment of the Colonel-General of Dra
goons, I was appointed governour to a young
nobleman, the Count de Vcrduzan, with
whom I remained in that capacity for the
space of three years. In 1790,1 accepted
the office of Mathematical Professor in the
royal military school of -Sorise, and bad
the care of three sons of the Prince de
Bethune, as their private tutor.
Having joined the army of the North in
1792, 1 acted as volunteer in the first en
gagements. I was appointed to the artillery
school at Schalons, a candidate for promo
tion. The taking of Verdun, and the king
of Prussia’s approach, occasioned a battal
ion to be raised, to which I was appointed
Adjutant-Major, and in which Mr. De
mersal*, now a Colonel of Artillery, was
obliged to serve as a volunteer. This offi
cer will certify thia fact, of which you seem
to have year doubts.
General Houchard, commanding the ar
my of the Moselle, had a nephew whom he
i wished to establish ; my compahy was a
fine one; the nobles were dismissed from
the army ; Houchard would insist that I Kl
was the son of the Counfege Sarraaln, aa Igj
emigrant, who was hia Colonel, and that I 9|
was very like my father. It was in vain Jfl
that I declared myself a peasant's son; ao gj
1 was obliged to serve aa a private soldier Qfl
in the army of La Vendee,, .
Being appointed by General Marceau, in 9
November, 1793, as hia Secretary, I put in 9
order the notes of General Kleber, his pats 9
ticular friend, relating to the siege of Metv z 91
and the war of La Vendee. It .was bv the 9]
direction of these two general* that I first df I
set about my work entitled " Instruction* /
for Troops during a Cafftpaign." •
Having followed General Marine T
the army of Flanders, in April, 1794, I T
wttsptesent at the battle of Fleurus, which I
was gained, a* 1 have proved In my obaer- . J
vat ions, by the resolution and foresight ol
General Soult. w
Being appointed to the corp* of Engi- ■ ■
neers, 1 was e mployed bj General Jourdan
to make the junction of the armies of the 9
Sainbre and Meuse and th* Moselle. In W
the attack of Coblent a, I succeeded in car- j'9
rying the redoubts which covered the Al
bridge of the Moselle. ‘ ,X I
At the siege of Maastricht I was J
pointed Adjuian'-General, Chief nf Battnl- M
ion, and Chief of Brigade at the Iflockade
of Luxemburg. I wa* appointed tn escort * I
the gai risen of this place with Marshal TB
Bender, eighty four ) ears of age, as far -ta ml
the Rhine, and I have the Marshal's Com
mendation of my attention to him. \ IB
Employed on the left wing of General ««
Kleber’s army, I was engaged tomukdth* K
pit paralions lor the first crossing of the M
Rhine, which took place in September,
1795. The army bore upon the Maine, H
r <om whence it was dtiven by General ||
lairfait, who then forced the line* at U
Menta. , 1
1 was with the right wing nf the atimy <8
■luring the campaign of Huutlslrurk. I 'll
made the campaign of Germany with Grti- JI
ral Bernadotte, aa the chief officer of hia ;.?■
tuff, when Prince Charles defeated J or- ■
lan, in August, 1797, aid forced him
rest to the Rhine. At this time it
hat General Mgrcau eff-c.ted the retreat
■<> deservedly admired, and that you made
your first campaign in I'aly. ' 9
Bernadotte’a di»'Won Ich Coblentz in ])*.<■
cember, 1796, and joined your army inflfl
March, 1797. Appointed Cnlonel of the aH
14th regiment of D>ag<>on*, I made the
campaign of Vienna in that capacity Be-SI
ittg recalled by General Bernadotte to, my ,'ql
former situation, at the head of his stuff, ‘ul
after the p ehminaries of Leobcn, you gw
charged tn» with the commission of paying i’l
the hon<>uis due to the Count of Cobciiizel, LI
•he Marquis de G dlow, the Count dr Mer- jll
f< id, and General Clarke, as P>enipoun- .fIH
' juries of the treaty of Campo Fortnio. Bl
You expressed yourself well pleased with jfl
the manuscript copy of “ In*" actions for 91
Troop* during a Campaign,” wh ch I h.d al
sent you at Paasariaim, in July, 1797. f I
It being intended that I should m ike one
-o accompany the embassy to V enus, and
being come to Paris to proceed on my
matick mission, you gave nn a good i ccijWjpM
lion, and proposed to me to
you to Egypt; but on my tefusal to leave 9|
Bernadotte, you insinuated tome Directory* ■
that a Republick ought to have no gentle- w
man following their Ambassadoure, and I K
was sent off to the army of England, com- E
ma tided by General Des tix. f
Being returned to France, after having P
been taken prisoner in Ireland, I w*a eto
ployed with the army of Italy, General I
Joubert sent me with eight battalions to the 1
army of Rome commanded by General f
Championnet, and afterward* by General ,
Macdonald. After the retreat of Napleg, I’ l
this army joined that of Italy at Genoa, I
then commanded by General Moreau—. A
Government sent me out letter* of service
for the army of Switzerland, commanded *] I
by General Masnena, 5 |
At Paris on my w.<y, General Bernadotte Bl
then a Minister, gave me the office of the Vfl
Marches of the troops in the War Ik pat*. .>1
meat, and afterwards that of the Appoint
meets. You were atjll in Egypt. It wat 9
at that time intended to overthrow the Di-
rectory, and appoint three Consuls—Jmw- fll
dan, Augereau and Bernadotte, ♦ere tha 111
Generals named : I was to have been np- H
pointed the War Minister. Acting upon >1
the information I received from Berumlotm. «■
and thinking that my obligations to him 1 1
required of me toextiicat* him from so M
dangerous a step, 1 acquainted him with U
all that was doing by the Diiwctn|| bit je* 11
and Barraa, who set the m*fhiees of the S|
Jacobin* to work. II
In order to requite my seal, the Direc
