Staz--litter Majesty has directed mt, by your
ordkr of the elide of the 18th of this month, to
Make a report of all that concerns the Ex-General,
• garratin.

JOhn &Mein was born in the Borough 'or Saint
Silvestri', in the Canton of Penne,io the deportment
of the Lot end Garonne, on the 15th of August.
1779. Hos+arents were farmers. Guthrie,' th of
September, 17e6, he enrolled himself in the sth
regiment of dragoons, which was disbanded on the
Idth of September, 1781.
At this time he settled at Rettig, in the depart-
ment of La Gironde, where he exercited the profess
Gioia of teacher of mathematics. On the Tst of Sept.
1790, he obtained the place of Professor of Mathe-
matics in the school of Sorrete, which was then nu.
der the direction of the Benedictines; 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 etn-
ploynsent two years afterwards, to follow the move..
rent which almost the whole French nation then
suede towards the frontiers, and he repaired to the '
Army of the North.
Being sent to Chalons for the instruction of the
young engineers in the school of artillery, he was
there, when, after the taking of Vesduno the inha-
bitants of Chalons; formed a battalion, of which be ,
Was appointed Adj.-Major, the functions of which
appointment he performed till the 20th September,
1792, the time of the disbanding of this battalion ;
but these circumstances, found hi a Memoir signed
by himself, are only warranted by his own decla-
ration. What is certain, is, that he was appointed
at MKS Lieutenant of a volunteer company, called
the Si. hlawrice, at the end of 1791, and Captain
of the same compauy, on the letb Mardi. 1733.
On his first entrance into the service, he gave
woof' of that restless and intriguing spirit which
be has constantly shewn in his military career.
He confesses himself, the Memoir alcove cited,
that, for having mite; part in some remonstrances,
which appeered seditious, lie was broken and de-
graded by order of General Houchard, in 1793, and
obliged to serve as a common soldier. He adds,
that, on the }at of October, 1793, he joined, at
Clitatillon, the chessman of the Giroude, that he
was present is different affairs in the army of La
Vendee, in which he was in quality of Secretary to
General Marceau, and was appointed Adjunct to
the Adjutants-General, on the 9th of Prairial,, year
On the 6th of Froctidor, of the same year, he
was appointed Adjunct of the first class of the corps
of Artillery, by the Representative of the People,
Gild, who had beet* Sent to the army of the Sambre
and the Meuse.
On the 6th of Brumaire, year three, the same
sepresentative appointed him Adjutunt-General,
Chief of Battalion, in consideration of the testi-
minty which General Nlarcesu had Orel; of his
conduct after the +expedition of Coblentx.
The 18th Brumaire, year 3, his appointment
was confirmed by the Committee of Public Wed-
fire; sod, on the sth Prairie) following, he ob-
tained the commission of Adjutant-General, Chief
of Brigade.
He made the campaigns of the year three, year
four, and year fire, with the armies of the Sambre
and Meuse, and Italy.
On the 37th Fructidor, year 6. he received
orders to proceed to Rochefort, to serve in one of
the divisions of the Army of England. lle was one
of the small number of Frenchmen who made good
their descent in Ireland, and he was appointed by
Geueral Humbert, General of Brigade, at the
captum of Killala, and General of Divisiute at
the alfeir of Castlebar, where he took a 'tendersl
from the enemy's horse. On his return to France.
he found the Executive Directory very little dis-
posed to confirm en rapid a promminte He de-
manded to serve as Adjutant-General of the Army
of Italy, commanded by General Jautiert.
Having been charAed to conduct a body of
troops to the army of Rome, he made with that
army the campaign of the 7th year in Naples, and
was appointed General of Brigade on the field of
battle, after the affair of Trellis. At the army of
laity, his suspicious and doubtful conduct exposed
loin to insinuations humiliating fur a military person;
he was charged with acting the part of an informer;
his constant opposition to the orders of his chiefs
strengthetted shut opinion, and the unpleasant
treatment he experienced eutupelled him in ask
leave to retire. On the 1 Ids Plaistow', he received
orders to return to trance. On the tat Primal,
year 9, native was given hum that he was no longer
in the list of the Staff Office's.
Whittled to pounce life, his mound inquietude
inspired him with several plane.

Botav;an Republie ; bat he fulfilled none of dim
resolution*, and he was stilt to France, when, err
the ioth of Vendemiaire, he was re-established on
the Staff of Generals of brigade., in the room of
General Colli, appointed General of Division.—*
Two months afterwards he was appointed to go to
St. Domingo. He remained there only a-year, the
bad state of his hea!th inducing General Roclism-
barn to tend him back to France, where he arrived
on the 4tklof Friroaire, year 13.
General Augereau then commanded a camp,
General Sarraziu applied, arid obtained to be em-
ployed under his command. Ills character, ever
inclined to accusation, soon raised against him nu-
merous enemies. He avowed himself the accuser
of the Generals and Administrations of the Army,
to a Memoir which he transmitted to the Emperor,
wader date of the 23d of Fiiinstire, year 13. The
try of indignation which was raised against him,
deprived him of the courage of supporting publicly
the part lie had undertaken, mad raised such a
storm against bum, that he saw himself again for
the second time obliged to request leave to resign.
He was, nevertheless, retained irr his post, and
made, with that part of the army, the campaigns of
ea year 14, or IeOG.
Some disputes wlitch lie had with General lieu-
delet, in whose division he served, obliged the Go-
vernment to recall him to France.

Oa the Gist of October, Nob, he was employed
in the 04th railitiry division, under the orders of
General Chambarlhar, who confided to dim the
command of the department of the Lye. The mil,-
undersvinding which emii took place between the
Prefect and him, evinced the neCenity of giving
him another destination, and he inks nut to the
isle of Cadvand.

His conduct, continuality extravagant, and his
arbitrary itroceedings, incensed against hint the in.
habitants, the Authorities, and General Chainbarl-
bac. The c omplaints which reached Goveiunient
intiiredd it again to change his risi*denee, and he re-
cei►ed letters of service for the tlith Military Di-
rioion.

He served in this division from the 11th of Fe-
bruary, 1909, and had the happines-n to live there
iii excellent harmony with both his superiors and
suhalteriis, till, by the most diiirsisifal &Armco,
lie imprinted au indelible opprobriuin oil his name.
Such is the history's& General Sarrazin. which,
to speak properly, is only that of the extritvagioice
of his mind, the errors of bis china( ter, and Ins
numerous alraiuidities. Toe but FEI.IIII,

SEVILLE, JUNE 9.
A convoy, consisting of a large number of tran-
spor s, lad.n with artillery, ammuu.tion, and
other military stores, escorted by • five gnu-boat,,
of the Royal Navy, set sail from llietranei a fur
l'a'agnara, and arrived at line o'clack in the latter
place. The enemy's flotilla having been informed
of the departure of the convoy, immediately got
under weigh fur Bagman, but the convoy had al-
ready reached a safe statiou under the guns of
our batteries. The enemy's flottlla begun
notwithstanding, en attack on the convoy, but
were compelled to sheer off, with the exception of
one gim-boat, which remained off hiagnara, to ob-
serve the convoy. His fslejiaty had out sooner bum
informed of this circumstance, than he ordered a
detsehmeut of greoadiers to embark oti board of 7
or A fishing vessels, ai.d drive the shore gun-boat
from her station. The grenadiers arcoraingly at-
tacked her with so much gallantry ai.d spirit that
she would undoubtedly have been takers, but for
the arrival of two other English gun-boats, under
the pri.tech,w of which she effected tier es-ape.—
