charged the enemy with his squadrons, and LANNES
led his Grenadiers on the border of a wood in the
distance to cut off the retreat of the Austriaus.
2,000 pri,ioners, several pieces of cannon, arid borne
fisga were captured. LANNES and MURAT, who had
,een EXCELMANS actually on the poiut of the enemy's
bayonets, commissioned him to convey to NAPOLEON
the news of the first success obtained, and the flags
taken from the enemy. The EMPEROR received at
Donauwirth the young and brilliant officer, promoted
him in the Legion of Honour, and delivered to him
the insignia in the presence of the whole of
the staff, in order to give greater diatinc-
Lion to the first recompense merited in this war."
The field of Eylau saw him promoted General of Bri-
gade, and he ;soon after accompanied MURAT, then
taken prisoner, and was detained for three years in
to Spain. In that country he was
Duke Da BERG,
Englaud, until 1811,
when he went to Naples and
was appointed grand equerry to his faithful friend and
patron, Piing Jimmie. In the Russian campaign he
was appointed by NAPOLEON to the command of a
diviiion,''and served with courage and skill through-
out that aul the subs, fluent campaigns of BAWD.),
and Silesia. Ile commanded the 24 division of
cavalry at Waterloo, but on the termination of
he war, iudiag the Imperial game was utterly
alaaed out, proffered his submission to Louis
XVIII. He was exiled by the Restoration
on no tangible
grounds of disaffection, but was in
some yeah permitted to return to France, and soon
diet the accession of Louts PHILIPPE to the throne
Mamba' GERARD, he received the appointment of

which fill within the bestowal of the Patece Pas-
SIDENT was exercised in favour of the brave adherent
of the Emma; in recollection of the gallant ser-
vices which forty years ago constituted EXCELMANS
otie of the glorioui pillars of the, Empire.
It is impossible to witness the removal from
amongst us of any- of those illustrious war-
riors who fled Europe in arms throughout
that wenderld period, without a certain feeling of
regret at the le.s of a relic of an age which will ever
remain itnpritted in burning characters on the page of
histor3,
although GOD forbid we should be destieed
io witness a iacurreuce of its brilliant but baneful
features. Wa therefore pay the homage of an
honourable natation to the brave departed, who has
leftbebind bin a name not without honour in the
land ageinst which he once gallantly combated. It
is well said bfaha by a powerful morning contempo-
rary, oHe Was, as a man, one of the best of those
•who followedin the train of Napoesori's fortunes, for
he was without inordinate ambition, without osten-
tation, and without avarice. He was fondly attached
to his nearest domes is connexions, and it was impose
bible to see his tall, weather-beaten form, slightly
bent with age, or to watch his resolute countenance,
without recognising the stamp of a soldier and a
gentleman."

'THE Fit F4.NC REPUBWC.

We have received the Paris journals of yesterday.
A telegraphic dispatch informs us that the PRINCE
PRESIDIar irrived in Paris last evening, at seven
o'clock_ llr drove in an open carriage, between two
-rows of troops, along the Boulevards, the , Euc
TR'lale and the Champs Elpee to the Barriere de
12k:toile, and went straight to St. Cloud. --
An immense crowd thronged his relssage, and sa-
luted him vlith acclamations. It was a most tri-
umphant emu. There were lout cries of "Vive
N apoloon," ku d several of " Vive l'Empereur."
• The municipal council of Montauban has voted a
sum of 20,000rr. to fete the Patrice PRESIDariT on his
Passage tnrOogh that town, on his approaching ex-
cursion to the scull. The municipal council of
Roam:re his voted 10.000'. for a similar-purpose,
Tne Mouileur de la Meurthe states that, while the
PRINCE was'psssing ihrtugh the streets of
Pao, his carriage was stopped by the crowd which
pressed round it ; while in this position a stout
peasant forced his way. through the dense mato, and
coming up close to the PRI6,qDRI`ET, uncovered his
breast, and striking it with his hand, exclaimed,
" Mon, Prince, now sommes c,.ntens I" A general
shout evinced how strongly the people participated in
this feeling.
