DEATH OF M. BERTRAND D 8 AfOLEVILLE.

This gentleman, who wtis under the ancient Regime,
Minister of Murine to Louis XVI., and since distin-
guished by some able works, store particularly an
Abridgement of the History of England, in four Bvo
volumes, died on Monday last at the eivaneed age of 74.

prise the most affecting incidents in the life of that
unfortunate Prince and his family. It is remarkable,
-that, although he could write the gnglish, language
with considerable fluency, and even elegance, he could
never speak it correctly. The whole of his " History
of England" was written by his own hand, and re-
ceived no other corrections, but those which were sug-
rated by his Printer. His " Annals" and " Memoirs.
were translated froth the original MS. by R. C. Dallas,
Esq.—We know, that since his return to his native
country, he has devoted much of his time in complet-
ing his " Annals; and that a treaty was actually on
foot with one of our firbt houses for its publication
here. He was indefatigable in his resea:ches; and the
cause of truth would lose nothing,, which either exer-
tion or ability could accomplish in furtherance of its
object. Latterly he has been totally blind; although
we understand he has left several unpublished produc-
tions, which it is the intention of his heir to submit to
the test of public approbation. He displayed the most
sincere proofs of seal and affection to his King ; and
remained with his almost deserted Prince, till the De-
mon of Anarcy denounced him to the National Assem•
bly—his person was sought after with the severest
scrutiny by the blood-hounds of the Revolution ; and
' his escape was as miraculous for hitnealf, as it was
&mimic for posterity. His tors will be deplored—by
• the reigning Sovereign—as that of a faithEdly attached
servant to the cause of legitimate monarchy—by France,
as one of its most ardent well-withers for her pros-
Perity.

Five French officers have been seat to Maubeuge,
Conde, Ltmdrecy, Bouchain, and Cambray, there to
receive the guns and military stores of the respective
garrisons, from the hands of the foreiomers by whom
these fortresses are to he evacuated. t/The Prefect of
the Moselle has enjoined the several Mayors through-
out his department, to restrain the inhabitants from
expressing, in.any offensive manner, their exultation at
the departure of the foreign troops.
The British cavalry had arrived about the 15th inst.
from Cassel and St. Omer, on the ground marked out
for the grand parade manoeuvres. The Russians had
been exercising %r many days to prepare themselves.
The sovereigns were to reads the scene on Monday.

It is said that the decision of Congress on tise ques-
tion between Bavaria and Baden has acetually taken
, place, and has been highly favourable to the latter state.
—The Grand Duke is to retain the whole of his do-
' minions, except that part comprised within the Tauber
Circle, which is to be immediately surrendered. The
Palatinate, however, is not to be dismembered in the
event of the Grand Duke's death, the House of Flock-
berg being declared the successor of that Sovereign.
A letter f:om Boulogne, dated the 17th hst. says:—
" Mc. Cock, printer of Windmill-street, Haymerbet,
and a Mr. Ogilvie went into the water to bathe, when
by the sudden rapidity of the current, they were car-
ried a considerable xr.ly out to sea, and although both
expert swimmers, were unable to regain the shore.
Captain Bushnell, of the Assistant packet, seeing their
perilous situation, immediately sent his boat. to their
asristanee, but only in time to save Mr. Ogilvie', who
hail nearly perished. Mr. Cock was not so fortunate ;
tOr, being quite exhausted, and babre assistarce could
rtach hint, he sunk to rise no more ; his bode has not
yet been thund. Mrs. Cock, who accompanied her
husband to Boulogne, is so affected with the melan-
choly catastrophe, that it is doubtful whether she will
survive him
