TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

SIR,

Cruikhotn, t. 6, 1808.

I read in a Paper of thiS morning n few lines,
tolerably dull, written on the suppo,,*. death of
BUONAFARTE. A friend of mine, who was at Paris
some time since, informs mr, that while he was
there a report was suddenly srread of the decease
of Madame BUONAYARTE : and the French, who
Alave an infinity of tenderness for her, set them-
selves,forthwith to write her epitaph. The follow-
ing, which was pretty freely handed about, is one
of the best, doing equal justice to her virtues and
her feelings:

LPITAFAE DS :MADAME SUONArASTE, VEUVE BEAU•

HA it NO( S.
Ci-git indulgente & bonne :
Elle eut maints & mums lavotis,
Et nemaltraita peisoanc,
Personne, hormis ses deux marts.

The tran4ation, which I am told is wonderfully
correct, is by my second sun, just entering into his
Humanities.

ATITAPH ON MADAM BUONAPARTE, WIDOW OF MONIIEUR
BEAU tiILIINOIS, ETC.
Here Ices, of tenderness approv'd,
A nymph by all mankind belov'd ;
And she did love them all again,
Yes, all—except her husbands twain.
A CONSTANT READER.

Whea th,- Zealous left Lord COLLINGWOOD, on
the 4th ult. Admiral Putty's was about to depart
from the station off Cadiz, to relieve Admiral MAR-
TIN, in the command otf Corfu.—The Fame,
Northumberland, and Excellent, were also going up
tl•t ,Mediterranean. It is his Lordship's intention, !
lichen he leaves Cadiz, to resume the command of the
Squadron off Tonlon, to take all the Line-of-Battle-
Ships with him into the Mediterranean ; three Fri-
gates only will be kept off that port. The dispatches
sent to his Lordship in the Pickle were not lost,
though they went down in her : his Lordship found
out a Maltese diver, who, atter three days' exertion,
found them : for which he rewarded him.---The
Ccesar, 80, Rear Admiral Sir RICHARD STRACHAN ;
Easzle, 74, Capt ROWLEY j Formidable, 98, Capt.
FAYERMAN ; Standard, 64, Capt. T. HARVEY (be-
side the Repulse, Queen, and IPindsor Castle) and
the Lavinia Frigate, are coming home. The late

happy change of atiairs in Spain, will enable his
Lordship to send home the same number of Line-ot-
Battle-Ships as were constantly kept in the tiresome
blockade of Cadiz. _

Deficiency
Nearly Soo were for unlimited service.

Letters from Liverpool assure us, that so confident
are the merchants of the surrender of Martinique to
Sir A. CocintAsz, that several Vessels are taking in
cargoes to proceed to that . island.
- A private letter of the od inst. has reached town
from Gijon, which states, that a vast French army
itas assembled round Bayonne, and that BUONA PARTE
himself is again in that place. This army is stated,
but doubtless with great exaggeration, to amount to
a hundred and,fifty thousand men.

Sir H. Burrard, it is stated, is to succeed Sir H.
Dalrymple in the command at Gibraltar, in which
case the Staff of the army in Portugal will stand in
the following rotation :—Sir H. Dalrymple, Sir J.
Moore ; Lieut. Generals Hope, Lord Paget, Sir A.
Wellesley ; Major Generals Lord W. Bentinck,
Fraser, Manninghatn, E. Paget, Spencer, Hill,
Murray, Ferguson, M`Farlane, Leith, and Clinton ;
Brigadier Generals Nightingale, Ackland, Fane,
Anstrut her, and Crauturd.
The Duchess of Rictimotm,on the receipt of the

intelligence of Sir ARTHUR WELLESLEY'S glorious
vietory, influenced by feelings truly amiable, though
retired to rest, ordered her carriage, got up, and
drove off with speed to Lady WELLESLEY'S mansion,
with the news of his safety and his vktory. The
luxury of doing such an ad, and the gratitude and
pleasure with which it was received, can never be
telt or described but by the two lovely and amiable
women who experienced it.
SCOTS MILITIA.—The number of men who vo-
lunteer from the ten regiments of Militia in Scotland
