The CROWN PRINCE of _;NVEDEN is reported to have
actually landed in Pomerania, and thus we shall soon see one
1 of BuoNAPAnTE's most celebrated Generals fighting against
him. The army which the CROWN PRINCE will command
will be upwards of 50,000 men, and the scene of its opera-
; Lions will probably be where BUON A PART E Will command
in person.—The murderer of the Duke D'ENen EIN will be
I pitted against the saviour of him. This is an anecdote that
should he generally known, because it does so much honour
to the CnowN PRINCE. In the year 1799 the Duke came
secretly to Paris; BUON APART E was then in Egypt ; the
Covernment was without force, and the Bourbon party
hoped to regain its power. The CROWN RINCE of SWEDEN,
then Gen BERNADOTTE, was Minister at War. The Duke
confided to him, through a common friend, his being at
Park, and offered him the post of Constable of France, if he
would restore the Bourbons. " cannot serve their cause
(he replied?, but as the descendant of a hero, as a man has
j placed confidence in me, no harm shall happen to him. Let
the Duke depart instantly—for his secret may in three days
ihe no longer mine." The Duke departed without mnolesta-
tiou, and re' iced to the territory of Baden, from whence (as
11 our readers know) he was so treacherously seized, and basely
assassinated by BUO NAPA RT E.— COUrier.
The following extract of an intercepted letter, dated Ber-
lin, Jan. 91, spew, the vain anxiety of the French Officers
to prevent the communication of the disasters which had
befallen the Grand Army ;
, From the General of 13rigArle Senneealle to the Major of the 6tii
II Regiment. -

" Endeavour to avoid as much as possible any communication be-
tween your troops and those which return from the army : do all
that yon can to keep up the moral of your soldiers, recommentlini
to the officers of companies to see them frequen!ly, and to unde-
ceive them with regard to the reports which are incessantly in
circulation.
" It is very difficult to prevent the soldier from learning what
passes in public :to do so, it would be necess u'y keep him shut
np, which would have as bad an etrect. Eager thr news, he runs after
every one who arrives, hanging upon him who tells the most dis-
astrous news ; and the relator, to inspire tile more sympathy, always
► xw.,geratvs his misfortunes. It is unfortunate that we had not
Intro placed in a position where we inivlit have avoided thcoe re-
turners. The remains of several caval!!. regit.lcnts pas,ed through
