Ordered to be prepared for 500 Cossacks, who are

The hallowing is an extract of a private letter
received here, dated Nancy, Nov. 18, 1813 :
'''' I received your lett4ir of the 12th, which tranquilized me
with regard to your personal safety, about which T was not a
little alarmed. It was yesterday reported here, that in order,
to prevent the enemy from entering Holland, orders had
been given to cut down the dikes. So desperate a step has
struck me with horror. You can have no idea of all that
is said here,—how men speak out and, clamour, not only in .
private houses, but its coffee-houses, Inns, the streets, and
market-places; country-people and town's-petTle, all are
loud in their complaints, and what nut a little contributes
thereto is, that we are now assured of the destructive defeats
of the army, of which, it is currently reported, that there arts
not now ao,ooo men left in a state fit for sect ice; officers and
men conic back with sticks in their hands; the former
have no longer any soldiers to command, and the latter
arc without arms. But the most horrible spectacle of all
are the sick and wounded. The hospitals are crowded wills
them; they are lying upon straw;` about eight hundred of.
them have been sent to lleauceryille, where they are starv-
ing like mice. In short, ail that you see is lamentable, Some
who are less sick than others, are begging alms on-the high-
ways. They arc must of them young conscripts; who look so
pale and misshapen, that every one exerts himself to give
theM something to eat and to warns them : hut what adds to
our misfortunes, we are to have 15,000 men quartered upon
us, fur wham we must not only find lodging hut also food.
Since last week the price of the common wheaten loaf, which
cost 30 soup, has risen to 44 sous; and this not from any want
of corn, of which there is abundance, but from the want of
hands to ,thresh it, which is not woolen's ;work. To-duty
sonic fugitives have arrived from Cologne. •
" At Meta 40,000 men are eolleettd. Not a lodging into
be got the: e,
"'The people here are afraid of- being sooner invaded by
the enemy than you in Holland. Pork costs here 22 sou.;,
and other kinds of meat 17 sous. There' are no longer arti-
sans here. When you want a pair of shoes, you must be-
speak them two months beforehand. Such is the wretched
situation of Nancy. •
".1s to the army, I can give you no certain information.
All who come here from it, bring with theta the most dismal
reports."
AmwreanAst, Nov. 24.—Major Marklsy this
day appeared with a party of Cossacks, before
