“ The day before yesterday a trum
peter arrived at our camp with a request
to General Bournonville to meet a Prus
sian officer who was waiting for him on
the plain. The General immediately
repaired to the place of rendezvous, but
was much surprised to hear the officer
reqaeft permiflion to forage in a neigh
bouring village called Mafrecourt. It is
to be observed that only the evening be
fore, the enemy had plundered the in
habitants of this unfortunate village. 'I
forbid you' replied the French General,
' to take from hence the smallest article.
If you touch only a chicken I will set
fire to the village.'

that the Prussians should come to make
war against a people who were fighting
for liberty, and who had (worn to de
fend it even atnidft the ruins of France?
For some days past a great number of
Pru ffuns have deserted and come over to
us, all afflifted with a bloody flux, as
they have only had a pound of bread for
three days—this malady prevails also in
our camp.
A currior arrives and informs us that
five thousand Prussians have been sur
rounded in our forefts near Voie—they
had scarcely anything with them, and
can only chafe between surrendering,
dying of hunger, and being cut to piec

face of all Edrope.
