EXTRACT OF A LETTER FltOM THE ARMY Iti FRAtiCE)
DATED ST. JEAN DE.LLIt, nu. 14.

• r.‘ We arc all,expecting with impatience the
signal for an aggressive movement across the
Adour. Our Field-Marshal has already recon-
noitered the enemy's positions ; several corps
have been put in motion, and we are not without
hopes of meeting with more friends than foes iii our
progress through France. The Duke D'AnGoe-
LEME seems to be extremely satisfied with the re-
ception he has, experienced from the inhabitants,
whose sentiments have had now an opportunity of
exhibiting themselves in the most impressive man-
ner. • His Royal Highness; who landed at St. Se-
bastian, after having had a narrow escape on the
Spanish coast, where he was in the greatest-dan-
ger of being lost with the Princess. Charlotte
packet, arrived at head-quarters, where he still
retains his borrowed name, but Where many loYal
Frenchmen have, however, paid him the ho-
mage they could no longer withhold from a de-
scendant of. their beloved HENRY IV. I had,
from an eye-witness, an account of this hffecting
scene. The Mayor, at the head of the Municipa-'
lity of this place, addressed his Royal Highness iti
a speech, where, after having alluded to the recol-
lection the city of St. Jean deLuz had preserved,
of the residence of one of his Royal Highness's
most glorious ancestors amongst them (Louts
XIV), he bailed with transports of joy the day
on which he and his countrymen were free to ma.•
nifest their wishes in favour of his Royal House.
M. RAIMOND ST. JEAN (such is the name of- this
worthy Magistrate) then deplored the dreadful
calamities that were still visiting the rest of France;
and expressod the hope, they would be soon termi-
nated by a peace; whose guarantee could only be
found in the word of the legitimate Sovereign. He
concludedby humbly entreating h is Royal Highness
to convey to their King the assurances of their res-
pect. and cordial allegiance. The answer of the
Prince to this Address was equally kind and
He assured the inhabitants of St. Jean
de Luz, in the name of his Royal Uncle, that
his Majesty's wishes had no other object but •
their happiness ; and that, being the organ of
the King's paternal affection towards them,
he would lose 'no opportunity of convincing
them that France would no where find a per-
' manent tranquillity, hut under the mild awl
auspicious laws of a Monarch, whom interest, ho-
nour, and justice, equally pointed to them as most
worthy of wearing the CroWn of his ancestors.
You cannot have an idea of the effect produced
by this interchange of dutiful and honourable seq..
thrients, nor the impression the condescending
arid affable manners of the Prince had upon, these
goOd people. The Clergy were likewise intro-
duced to his Royal Highness., but he declined the
honours they wanted to pay him at,Church... The
neighbouring Communes sent depututions to him,-
and all hands and hearts' seem to be united in sup-
port of a cause they look upon as that of every
loyal Frenchman."—(Times.)
