alteration of all dames of Frenchmen, is a sure forerun-
ker of the success which awaits the good cause in a country
which seemed to wait only for a sign of re-union to fly from
the detested •yOke. This we have to sdd from most posi-
tive information, that the French forces• now under the
standard of the descendants of Henry IV. amounts to 8000
infantry and 800 horse, and the command, has been given,
in the first instance, to:Colonel flapatel, the fi icnd and Aide,
de-Camp to Moreau. Some cavils have been attempt-
ed at a postcriptum of that letter, vatiog, " that
would it be believed, the Austrian Commander, who is
a General, was huffed at this movement." We shall
observe, that• this letter being of a private nal nu., the
passage itself might have been as well omitted. It will be
seen, however, by the very first sentence of the letter, to
which none of the papers have paid any attention, that the
Count d'E.-ears says, " sail arrieg u 'Cash samedi an .!nip
(ip) nous en sornniec parlis Dimanche 20." I arrived at
Basle on Saturday the 19, and we left it on Sunday the 20th.
count d'Escars had arrived at Bede, on that date, front the
Mead-quarters of the Allies, where he bad obtained the full
concurrence of the coalesced Sovefeigns to the views of
the House of Bourbon, and he departed again on the next day,
with Monsieur, for the interior of France, certain that sloth
would now impede the progress of the noble undertaking.—
In such a state of thire;s, and we can !pledge ourselves to
the utmost of the tr tiro of the c ircumstances,. Oat d'rs
cars having been actually seen at the head-quarters of the
Allies at Troves, it was natural that, in a private coamtinicA
ljoh, he should exin ess hisaston ishmen tat an Atis!rian.General
being buffed at a movement, of which he had not probably re•
ccived previous notice, and which likely might have interfer-
red with the approyisionment corps and ether military
details. This of course 'can prove nothing against the
lion of the Allies, whose dispositions the French Princes had
previously ascertained, and who seem to see at last the neces-
sity of ridding the world of the revolutionary scourge by
.which it has been so long desolated.
The Gazette of last night contains also dispatches from
the Marquis of Wellington, dated from St. Jean dt Luz, the
9.oth of January. They relate to a partial movement of his
Lordship's right towards the Palai, and the Gave d'Oteron,
which •was already known, and produced no results of any
importance.
