The London Monthly Magazine con
tain* a feriesof letters on the present date
of Switzerland, by a traveller in that
country, to his friend in London, From
one of thele letters we extrail the follow
ing interetting article :—
Near Zurich there was an auxiliary ar
my of Ruffians, who came far, very far,
from the holders of Alia, and the imrat
finable deferts of Siberia and TaTtary.— '
Many of the rude inhabitants of thofe re
mote climes now eyed with amazement 1
the novel and grand fpeftacle of Helveti- <
n's towering lnowy mountains, and were i
drlfined to carry on a new and unuloal .
warfare amidft itscraggy precipices ami j
in the depth of its abyfles. The whole
furronnding country abounds with ac
counts of the intrepidity, obedience, fide
lity, and tlurdinefs, of thel’e modem war
riors.—Even theFiench officers were of
ten heaul to fpeak with admiration of
tlieir military virtues.
The melancholy incidents which took
place during thele hoftilities, are neceffa
riiy frelh in the memory of the inhabitants
Among leteral which have been related to
me, I cannot retrain from communicating
one which has ftrongly inipielfed my
■mind. A newly married pair were liv
ing happily and careiefs in their village,
when the tidings were brought by fugi
tives, ot a decifive battle having juft ta
ken place in the neighbourhood. The
repdit was too coufiitried by the thunder
ing of the appioaching cannon. The
bridegroom equally animated by a marti
al fptril, and a love for h.s wile, wavered
betwixt the defire of engaging in the con
tril and of flying with the ohjeff ol his
effVflions. He went.out as far as the haf
ty intienchments of the retreating party,
where canm n was already planted sg.nnlt
cannon, and where the cries ot the ci m
batants were loft in the horrid roar of
-grins and the elafhof aims. In this feenc
of tumult, the thought ot his bride, and
of her abandoned ftate, gained the alcen
■slency in his mind j he hulleited back to
htsluiule »nm! It a ihower ot balls, which
ft tick the earth on ail tides of him.— I
Be lore he leached the houle his aged pa
tent niet him in trars, and pointed to the
Tool, where a iiolti'e ball had violated
Shetr peaceful dwell rg. Wheie is my
wife ? was the reply of the anxious Inti
bind. On being informed that flie had
gone up (fairs to Ife the cottage that war
laid to he but mug in the neighbourhood,
be flew to the garret, wlteie to hit img
preflible horrrt, he fa-v her weltering in
her hiood. The vety ball which liau
(buck the roof, had taken < ff both her
kgs in the moment in which fhe looked
out ot the window She now lay in rite
•gonits of death j he iliitw hiinfVlt be
(i te !ie> , and recalled Iter for a moment to
life, by the loud ire is of Ids lamentations.
She opeurd hei eyes, eilaved to Hietclr
forth her arms, and moved Iter lips tu
him—but her arms funk, her lips refilled
to do their offi-e, file reclined her head,
and her torn fled to heaven 1
She is dead cried the frantic hufbard
ffarting up, and breaking through the
crowd of fpcflatort, who vainly attempt
ed to oppole his progress ; be rulhed to
wards the tntienchmtats and was feen no
tnoie 1
Some foliliers afterwards related that a
young man luddenly Ipiung in ann-ng
litem, they knew not from wnence, Inarch
cd tlier aims from one of them, a.nl was
darting o*er the intienchments with in
credible fury when (onre grape (hot ffiat
tered his body in pieces and numbered
b tn with tire (lain who filled the ditch.—
Thcte he probably remained j tor when
the intrrnchment became utelels, after
having been itormed by the enemy, the
moat was doled up, and feivc<l as a com
mon grave for the frieadiels ftrangcr and
the unhappy hriffiand, whole beloved wife
after a week's union, wasconfigned at tire
fame time to agrave tn the neighbouring
church yard!
