The Courriere de l'Eure states that the Russian
prisoners who have been residing at Evreux for
the last twelve mouths have received official notice
that they were free. General Bodisco, his wife,
and children, and his two aides-de-camp were pre-
paring to leave for Paris, whence they would pro-
ceed to Russia. General Bodisco, wishing before
he quitted Evreux to express his gratitude to the
inhabitants for the kind manner iu which he has
been treated, addressed the following letter to the
editor of the above journal :

" Monsieur. le Redacteur,—The Government of his
Majesty the .Ecnperor Napoleon has just generously
restored me and my officers to liberty, and from
this moment we may return to Russia. I shall never
forget with what delicate attention your countrymen
have alleviated the weariness of our captivity ; nothing
has been wanting which could, contribute to make us
love your good town. We have lived here, if not hap-
pily, for no one can be happy so far from one's own
country, at least peaceably and tranquilly; and it has
been a great alleviation of our Misfortune to be able
thus to judge for ourselves of what there is noble and
elevated in the French character. We shall always,
my two captains and myself, call to mind with
what kind affability we have been treated, and the
name of Evreux will be always remembered by us
wherever we may be, and
,whatever may become of
us. Allow me, through your journal, to address to
your fellow-citizens our thanks and our adieux, and for
yourself, Monsieur le Redacteur, with whom my rela-
tions have always been of the most friendly kind, accept
my cordial and sincere salutations. Once mere, adieu,
and thanks to the excellent inhabitants of Evreux,.

The Semaphore of Marseilles contains a letter
from Pera which states that the late fire in that
place in the immediate neighbourhood of the
French artillery yard, where several millions worth
of ammunition and stores were collected, is sup-
posed to have been the work of an incendiary. Ti'e
French soldiers on duty there had frequently seen
a man loitering about the place, who has not been
seen since the fire, and the strictest search has not
yet led to his discovery.
