Continuation of cxt< acts from the London Paper by
•the It oodrop Sims, Cajit. Haynes*,
•; Eosdos, July 13.
The following is an extract of a feller from Ma
laga, of the ISth ult.—“ The French are fortifying
Gibralfaro, a Moorish castle on a mountain above
the town, and commanding the place and burbo'ltr.
I hey have done this as a precaution against the
peasants, who swarui in great numbers round the
country. Our garrison consists of about 1000 Po
lish troops, and the French sent a furcti to M»rbel
!•:, to take possession of the castle there; but the
Spaniards having received guns Ironi Gibraltar, and
fortified it, the enemy did not succeed. "Great num
bers ol the French fall daily by the skirmishing
warfare which prevails all around us.—There are
five mails wanting from Madrid, which are proba
bly intercepted by the peasantry. The coni'st is
carried on with great barbarity ; if the French take
the armed peasants they hatig them, and if the lat
ter make the former captives they i ol them in pie
c-s. The Toads are infested as much with plunder
ers as warriors. We just learn that an English fri
gate, and tit teen English gun boats, base arrived oti
Marbelhi, to succour the inhabitants.’’
We are assured that the Spaniards are acting of
fensively in Andalusia; 6(X)0 of their troops em
harked, as we yesterday stat-d, at Cadiz, and hav
ing landed at Algeziras, were proceeding through
the defiles of Sierra Honda to the rear of the inves
ting army. We are n»t so sanguineus to predict
any overwhelming advantage Irom this prudent and
well concerted measure ; but that it must at least
harrass, oppress, and weary tbs enemy, • unques
tionable. And of this warlaie we see no end, ex
cept the melancholy one wa before stated, the failure
tof population ; for converts to his tyranny ftuona
parte makes none ; every Spaniard that lives, lives
Lately, when Louis Buonaparte and his wife were
at Pens, on the occasion ot Buonaparte's marriage,
Louis lived at bis mother’s hotel, and his wife at a
lu t'-er. Her children have always been considered
t' t .e children of Buonaparte, and not of Louis,—
Haifa Louis, in r.signing the crown, says, “ I give
it up to you, Napul. on Buonaparte, and your’s—
that is, to your son, wl o pisses for mine, and to wy
wife, i>y U'Jiutn you had this son.”—A most curious
family !
Buonaparte, who loves no one, is himself not the
object of affection even in his own family. We see
iiie diHVrences between him and Louis—Lurien has
not bt>( n upon temis with hint for y<-ars, and has
constantly refused every dignity ofi. red him—Jo
seph fears him—Jerome is the only one who lives
in any intimacy with him, but he is often the ob
ject ol the coarsest and most violent treatment.
From the French - Papers.
Paris, July 2.
The fete given by the Prince of Schwiruenberg
took place yes,tetv'iy, at which their majesties the
Emperor hihI Empress were present. They arrived
at 10 o'clock. The garden was illuminated with much
t-.ste, It presented different views of the country
which the empress inhabited in her infancy. The ope
ra dancers executed th^dances, dressed in the cos
tumes of the different people of the Austrian monar
chy. This part of the fete was followed by uncommon
ly fine fire-works. Twelve hundred persons were
invited. In order to receive so large a party, the
prince, according to the usual custom adopted at Pa
ris, had caused to be erected, with planks of timber,
a ball room, ornamented with pictures of gau?e,mus
lin, and other light stuffs. This saloon offered a ve
ry fine con ft d'ail. The queen of Naplesopened the
boil with prince Esterhaay, snd was followed by the
viperoy and princess Pauline of Schwartzenberg,
wife of the eldest brother of the ambassador,—
After the cotillons, a Scotch reel was danced, du
ring which their m»jetties arose to make the tour
of the circle, and speak to the ladies. The em
press had i eturned to her arm-chair, and the em
perour was .at tin* other extremity of the saloon,
near theprincess Pauline of Schwartzenberg, who
had presented her daughters to jiim, when the flame
of a wax-candle caught the drapery of a window
curtain. Count Dumanoir, chamberlain of the
emperor, and many uther officers who were near
him, endeavoured to tear off the curtains, but
the flames got higher. They immediately inform
ed the emperor, who had hut time to go to the
arm-chair of the empress, when he was instant
ly surrounded by the ambassador and officers of tlie
Austrian legation, who persuaded him to quit the
place. The fire extended itself with the rapidity,
of lightning; and his majesty slowly retired with
the empress, recommending calmness, in order to
prevent confusion. The openings from the ball
room fortunately being very capacious, the crowd
could easily'get into tbc garden ; but many moth
ers lost muclriime in searching for their daughters,
from whom they had been separated by the Scotch
feel, and many young persona in endeavouring to"
find tlieir motfiers. The rapidity of the fire was so
great,, that the queen of Naples, who followed in
the suite of the emperor having fallen, was only sav.
ed through the presence of mind of the grand duke
M We. tsburgh. The quern pf Westphalia was con
ducted from the saloon by the king of Westphalia
land count Metternich. The, vice roy who remained
*t the bottom of the ball room,’ and who (cured to
toiijc in the crowd with the vice queen, perceived th^t
thd fall of the lustres and ceiling interrupted thy pas
»*ge. He had, fortunately, remarked V small deftf
which led to the apartments of the Wei, by which
he got cut.' Happily no body bias perished ; some
twenty hdifcs hate beta more or tabs wounded. The
princess Lnyens, wife of the Russian cooitil, as well
*s the ladies of general baron Tousard god the pre
fect of Istria, have, cither in consequence of being
•eiaed with terror, or stopt in getting wt by own
obstacles, been grievously hurt. Ptfoce Kurakin,
the Russian ambassador, bad.the misfortune to fall
upon the steps which lead from shebofi room to tlm
garden; they were then on fire; he was for a. mo
ment insensible. Two officers ofc the Austrian, tegs-,
lion and two • officer*'of the imperial guard saved
lu*, Up keeps bis bed, and ia ia rsneirlariblf pain.
' - •.
The garden, extensive and well lighted, presented
during half an hour, the spectacle of husbands CaH
ing for their wives, of wive* calling upon their hus*
bands and children; and who, tile moment they
found each other, embraced with'transport, a* if a
long absence had separated them. The ensrperour
and empress got into the carriage at the garden gate.
When the emperour found his country equipages
which waited for him' at the Elysian finds, and had
placed the empress in one of them, he returned to
prince Schworlzenberg, attended bv an aid-de-camp.
Princess Pauline Sellwnrtzenberg was among the
last who remained in the ball room. Site held one
of her daughters by the hand. A piece of burning
wood fell upon this young person, when a man, who
was near her, took her up and carried her out of the
saloon. She was herself hurried into the garden.—
Nr- longer seeing her daughter, she ran every where,
calling her with great lamentations. She met the
king of Westphalia, whoendeavnured to calm her ;
she addressed herself tnprince Borghese and C'-unt
Regnaud. After searching for a quarter of an hour,
impelled by the heroism of maternal love, she enter
ed the burning saloon, from which moment we know
not what has become of her. The fire was then got
under, and the ambass.-idour’s hotel preserved, and
tranquility i e-estabhshed.
Prince Joseph Schartxenberg was engaged all the
night in search nfhis wife, who was not to be found
either at her brother’s, the ambaSsadour, or at M.
de Motteroich’s. He was doubtful of his misfortune
till the day broke, when a disfigured corpse was
found near the saloon, which Dr. Gall thought to be
that of the princess Schwa i tsenberg. It remained
bo longer doubtful Wnen diamonds, and the medalli
on of her children, whichtshe wore suspended from
her neck, were examined.
rnncess Pauline bchartzenberg was daughter of
the Senator Aretuberg; she was mother of eight
children, and f<>ur months advanced In pregnancy l
she was as much distinguished for the graces of her
person as hy the excellent qualities of her mind and
heart. The uflecthinate act which cost her her life,
proves how much she deserves to he regretted, for
death was most evident. The flames wtjre most
terrific ; none but a mother could have faced such
danger, .Apprehensionsare entertained for the lift
of the princess de la Layen, wife cf the Russian Con
sul ; also for that of the baroness Tousard. Fifteen
or sixteen persons more or less wounded are out of
danger. Prince Kurakin has slept, and this even
png great hopes are entertained that his accident
would not terminate fatally. The Austrian atnhas
sadnur, whose horrible situation it is easy to con
ceive, shewed, during the whole night, that attention
that activity, that calmness, and presence of mind,
which might have been expected of him. The offi
cers of his legation, and of bis nation, gave signal
proofs of their courage and devotvdness ; the pub
lic expressed great admiration at seeing the ambas
sadour accompany the emperour and empress to
their carriages, forgetting the danger to which hia
own family were exposed.
The emperour retired at three o’clock In the
morning. He sent several times during the night to
enquire the late of the princess Pauline Schwartzen
berg, which remained uncertain. At five o’clock in
the morning, he received the account of her death.
His majesty, who had a particular esteem for thjs
princess, regrets her loss extremely. Her majesty,
the empress, exhibited the greatest calmness during
{the whole of the evening ; but on hearing this morn
ing of the death of the princess, she shed abundance
of tears.

Refiort to Hit Majesty the Emficror and King.—
June 30, 1810. ,
“ SIRE,
** Your majesty hss directed me, by your order of
the date of the 18th of this month, to make a report
of all that concerns the ex-general Sarrazin.
“ John Sarrazin was boru in the bourg of St. Silo.
Cshe, in the canton of Penne, in the department of
the Lot and Garonne, on the 13th August, 17?0.—
His parents were farmers t on the 27th September,
1786, he enrolled himself in the 5th regiment of dra
goons* which was disbanded on the 14th September,
1787.
At,this time he settled at Rcole, in the depart
inent of La Gironde, where he exercised the profes
sion of teacher of the mathematics. On the 1st of
September, 1790, he obtained the place of professor
of mathematics in the school of Sorrezze, which was
then under the direction of the Benedictines j and
it was, no doubt, this circumstance which gave rise
to the report that he had been a monk ; an assertion
which certainly has never been proved. '
“ He left this employment two years afterwards,
to follow the movement which almost the whole
French nation then made towards the frontiers ; and
he repaired to the army of the North.
“ Being sent to Chalons for the instruction of the
Jroung engineers in the school of artillery, he was
there when, after the taking of Verdun, the inhabi.
hints of Chalons formula battalion, q| which be was
lt-inajor ; tliefunctions of which ap
appointedarijutant
oointment he performed till the 30th of Sept. 1792,
the time of the disbanding of this battalion. But
these circumstances, found in a memoir signed by
himself, are only warranted by his own declaration.
What is certain is, that he was appointed at Mels
lieutenant of a volunteer company called the Skint
M-iuri.ce, at the end of 1792, and captain of the
tame company on the 13th March, 1793.
“ On his first entrance into this service, he gave
proofs of his restless and intriguing spirit, which he
has constantly shewn in his military career. Fie
confesses himself in the memorial above cited, that
fnr having Uken part in some tyroonstranees which
appeared seditions, he wasbroj$en and degraded by
order of gen. HoUchard, in 1795, and obliged to serve
S* a crnimoii soldier. Me adds, that oa theist of
fHtoher, 1793, he jniped «t ChatiUon the chasseurs
•f the Glronne * that he was present in diflerent aL
