.. Since General Vs wDA Ret At E is arrived at Beaumont, 1 do not think it
proper to make him return to Philippeville, which would fatigue his
troops. 1 prefer letting this General encamp in the first line, a league
anti a half from Beaumont; I shall review his troops to morrow. The
6th corps will then be plaoed a quarter of a league behind.
In this case, the army of the Moselle will- join tomsorrow near
Ln ilippeville the detachment of cuirassiers Coming from Alsace.

I hope to pass the -Sombre to-morrow, the 15111 ; if the Prussians do
Mit evacuate, we shall have a battle. Suchet must take Monitueilhin.
and fortify himself there. Recommend that there be 10,000 muskets
as Lions to arm the National Guards. The 300 cannon of the marine
must be placed in batteries at Paris; let them be there before the '2stb.
Lastly, let the company of cannoneer •• • • march. Let them go
en diligence to Vincennes on Thursday. Do not be too prodigal of
muskets to the federes : we are in great want of them every where. I
direct « • * * from Maubeuve to Paris. [The blanks are for two words
that we cannot decyptier. the rest of the letter is quite unintelligible,
except a few words ; we see that mention is made of the Rlome. ut the
Saone, of Rapp, who is to defend Alaace to the utmost, ut Be tort, of
:Mane:, &c. His Imperial Majesty seems very uneasy about all this ;
he had much business on his hands at this moment, and never wrote
with more precipitation.]

LETTERS FROM PARIS.

Paris, August 24.
The grand Russian Review will consist of 140,000 ►fen. There
will also be another great Review of the British Army, near St. Denys,
after %hid, I believe the Allied Armies will go into cantonments.
Yesterday morning, about 10,000 British troops were reviewed near
St. Deny'., by the Duke of Wellington, attended by the Emperor of
Russia, the Heiman Platoff, &e. They made a grand appearance, sad
were in high order rind equipment ; they are the newly arrived troops:
chiefly from America.
The Louvre promises to exhibit little else than empty frames, an im-
mense number of paintings, have been taken away since the Prussians
gave over. The latter took from 35 to 40, but they are removing them
now by scores:' Tim told the Belgians are doing this at the same time;
I dare say the Trench are taking many themselves, and blaming others
for it. The doing so accords completely with their general condnet ; for
the poor inhabitants of the places though which the armies ma►ched,
exclaim chiefly. against the French, who were so zealous in the work of
destruction, that little was left for the Prussians and Belgians to do in
that way, whatever their inclinations might have been.

Paris, Aug. t'.)s.
Letters from Poictiers, of a recent date, confirm the account I gave
you in my last, of the infamous conduct of the military towards the
Duke and Duchess of Angouleme. I understand that the Dike be.
hated with the greatest courage on this occasion. and that be cut
down, with his own hand, two of the men who attempted to remove the
white Rag from the windows of his hotel.
