Monsieur Le General,
1 Pra> jour excellency to pardon the li
berty I take, ot stating to you my unhappy
situation, and ot requesting you to grant me
your protection. . *
For mote than two year* past I haveinhab
ited Switzerland, my country, with my son,"
of five years ol age ; already so unfortunate
As to have been obliged, by the improper con
duct of my husband, Gen. Sarrazin, which
I can prove to have been altogether, unme
rited on my part, to live at a distance bom
him. 1 have become more so, from learning,
by the Moniteur of the l$<h of this month,
(he ciitne which he has just committed.—
During my residence in Switzerland, h*»
wrote born time to time to hit son ; fornenr
four months he has ceased to write. Hts
letters winch I have preserved, can testify
his attachment and his entire devotion to H.
M. the Emperor, but at the same time,
strengthen the suspicions which I have these
seven jeats entertained, of a derangement
of his intellects, and I am petsnnh-d that
his last unhappy step, arose from no other
cause.
• T knovy iiot whether my husband has left
arty fortune in France ; if lie Ins not. or it'
the little there may be, is to be takrn from
us, I and my son will he without resource.
I confide in the goodness of four excellency,
ai d venture to uquest y oti tube pleased to
interest yourself on cur behalf, aptl At least
t amc what » IF cts of the General tnsy. pe

To the Editor of the Globe.
Co fly of a letter from General Sarrazin
to hia uncle, Mr Fischer, a merchant in
Leeds.
•'“Most Honored Uncle-V\s the letter
attributed to Madame St'Tarin must have
alarmed you, I hasten to write you, in order
to tranquilize you with regard to the fate of
my spouse. •*
“ Previous to my departure from Boulogne,
I took care to make a solid provision t'ot
her support, and remitted her a year’s'
allowance in advance I cannot give you •
farther information on this head at the pre I
3ent moment.
“ Madame Sarrnsin is in possession of her |
family property, which I never touched. A
well furnished house and ward-robe, a num
ber of jewels and other valuables, complete- i
ly attest the sincerity of my attentions, and
my attachment for her and mv son.
“ Bonaparte niav confiscate what I have
left at Boulogne ; Madame Sarrazin, I assure
you, does not stand in need of it.
“ I challenge Bonaparte to publish the
letters Written to mv son. Bonaparte wish
es to get that child within his grasp.—
This is the object of his letter, which was
cither fabricated, or extorpul by the vio
lence of his agents, from Madame Sana
zin ; an excellent, but delicate and timid wo
man.

have been cTeranged these seven vears He
presents her as a native of Switzerland, j
though he perfectly well knows that she is
an English woman, having been born at Ex- I
eter
“ My reply to Bonaparte will not appear
untii the 6<h of August, in consequence of a
delay in the printing I shall take care to
send you a copy of it.—The following fact,
which isnot stated in it will furnish you with
a key to the haired which Bonaparte bears
towards me
“ IYn years ago, Madame Murat propos
ed to me to do as many other Gen- als had
done, who had dismissed the wives h'ev had
married in foreign count) ies f**r the purpose
: of e-sptHising French ladies l'hts was at a

whither I w.'s srnr only in expectation that
I should there find my grave, I was coldly
teceived. and given to understand that ihe
religion, as well a* the education of Madame
Sarrazin prevented her bt-iog received at
coai t .My spouse ••igoified a w'i3h to visit
her parents, who reside in Switzerland_—
and Bonaparte having ordered me to set o!f
to take the command in the Ide oft ailsai d
—to direct her to join me, would have been
to sacrifice both her and my son ton climate
™uc.i m ,,e Pest''rr>tial than that of the Isle
of Walcheren Prom that moment 1 adopt,
ed the resolution to quit'ho service of Bona
parte, and formed such arrangements as
tomaketheir fate independent of mine.——
But tor my wishes to accomplish this, 1
should have been in England upwards of a
year ago.
vvnat enrages Bonaparte against is,
that he cannot lell the public I am a coward
a plunderer or a blockhead. My remarks
will prove to him ihat I am neither a mad
man nor a had husband.

“ As Bonaparte causes all letters to he o
pened. u was requisite that my correspon
dence should, in every respect, be tfo con.
tlucted, as no: only to occasion no suspicions
but also to dissipate 3uch as might be nccal
sioned by malice or indiscretion, I knew
that Bonaparte is no less cunning than he is
wicked. I*had to regulate iny actions and
my writings accordingly. He has been my
ui’pe ; and it is the I’nortificutton be feels on
that score, no less than his tear of seeing
himself completely exposed, in consequence
of the knowledge which 1 1- »ve had these 15
years of all that lias passed in t fie interior of
his family, which has been the cause of •
the ridiculous reports he has published res 1
