GENE[dL LAS.ILL E.

The following charseter of this Officer, who fell.
in the battle of Wagram, and whose remains have
been conveyed to Paris for Interment, is taken from
the -iburnolde l'Empire. That the deceased Officer
posSeSsed coOderable.merit may ,be admitted, but
the extravagant Manner in which his anions are re-
corded in this sketch, is little calculated to do hica
honour ; for this' bombast style, which invariably
chara6terizes the French compositions of a similar
nature, represents'l4sA LLE as a madman, rather than
a good soidier. NOr is it possible to believe that the.
'successes here .related could have taken place with
such disproportioned means, unless his opponents,
.like Captain Bobadiii we're ail " pkinet-struck."

" Death C has snatched away, an officer of rare
merit, at the age of 34 years. Cherished aid ho-
noured by his family, his friends and his soldiers,
General Count LASALLE has left a great example to
sortie, and-a memory dear, to. all: He was born at
_Metz, on the mth of May, 1775, of a noble family,
of that city. He embraced the profession of arms
.frorri a very tender age. So .early as 1780 he served
in a regiment of Alsace as an officer. Impatient to
distinguish himself, he had sought an opportunity
in vain, when the Revolution opened a vast career
to those whose genius destined them to a com-
mand' over others., BLit a new, prejudice had,.
succeeded to an old one.—The birth of the
Count LASALLE, which had opened to him the road
to military honours, deprived him of his rank. He
forgets that he had commanded—he conceals 1114
name and his services in the rear ranks of the 231
regiment of mounted chasseurs, and, like TASERT,
his great uncle, he retains nothing but his native
,courage. , He soon attracted notice._. His regiment
served in the Army•of the North, and he
the rank of a Corporal. Followed by some chas-
seurs of his company, be attacked and, took a,bat,
teril.—The report of this action -reached the Com-
mander-in Chief. 'He saw young LASAL-L.E, 4ind
made him-an Officer.

" In Italy, at the head of 18 horsemen, he met
top husSars of the enemy, and did not hesitate a
moment to charge them. The hundred Austrian
hUssars, eleekrified by a French cavalier, yield to -
the impetuosity of 18. men. Carried away by his
ardour, he went astray in pursuit of the enemy, and
found himself alone in the middle of four hussars,
who rush upOn him. He 'fights these four aclver-,_
saries, wounds all the four, and rejoini his little.
band, who had despaired of him as lost.

Thebattle of Bivoli added to the glory Which
he had already 'acquired. The ,enemy occupied a '
height which commanded the plain : they must
be driven from it ; and it is Lasalle wh6
chosen by him, who knew so well how to select
among men, the person most fit to execute an enter-
prise as perilous as honourable. T,,e enemy IS
driven from one poSition to another, and the rna,
dest vktor returns charged with colours and !awe's,
wille) he lays at .the feet of his General. The Etn-
, ni.
peror says to tn—" Rest yourself under these ce-
him's, LASALLE, you have done well."
" His services in Egypt procured- for him the rank
of Colonel. He returns from Egypt to gather fresh
laurels in Italy. He was made General of Brigade
in the campaign of 1805, against Austria.
Iu 1806, in the war against Prussia, General
LASALLE dared alone, at the head of two regime:as
of cavalry, to attack a strong place, and 'succoss jus-
tified the attempt which apeared so rash.
"Stettin opens its-gates, a.garrison of 6,000 men, •
and too pieces of cannon, fell into the hands of the
vitStor.

" At the battle of Heilsberg, LASALLE was every
where at the head of his light cavalry. By one of •
those inexplicable chances which frequently !tapper'
in war, the Grand Duke of Berg, now King of
NapleS,- was enveloped by twelve of the enemy's
dragoons. LASALLE hag not time to refle&, nor to
give orders. His heart carries loot off He plates
alone upon the' enemy, with the I:pidity of light-
fling,' slays the oflice.r who coin oands the detach-
ment, and puts the rest to flight. In a. tew hours
after LASALLE is enveloped in his turn, whiie ;tha'
dotting himself to his impetuosity. The Grand
Duke of BERG perceives the danger of his d•-1..er..,4*.
He flies to his succour, rescues him, and; eintirae(
ing him, says " General al,e are quit."
". The .war in Spain ()netted to General Lasalle
a new care.tr of glory. With a corps of 6000
fantry, and only 800 cavalry, he fought at Torque--
mada a Spanish army of 27,0Q0 men, and took ail
Its caution. • Pursuing his s.ccess, he' gimed a se-
cond vtdory before Palencia ; and that ei y, al-
though defended 'by a 'river, and a nurnetoos• •
garrison, was obliged, as well as, Valladolid, to sur.•
render at discretion. Charged wit n the administra-
tion.of the Spanish provinces which had sitbinittelL
he made the new Governineht beloved among tneht: •
He was no longer that formidable man whom theY
had only known by his exploits. Persuasion flowed.
frOrn Ilis-lips;; goodness was painted in his counte"
nanee ;' delicacy and honour were the rule of bis
condu(d, and gained hint the hearts of all.
" CUESTA.twictt conquered, and FLAKE, who WI

A terrible battle took place at Medinadel-111A;
Seccir. The fate of this diy was; for a long by
uncertain... Ge ,eral LASALLE decided the Victor) is,
a charge at the head of the loth and 22d regiule D°lo
of chasseurs. In a few days after this niemoO
adibn, he was appOinted brand Officer of the 1..c51°

MIDDLEBUitGiII AUG. 24.—At length I have
had an opporfenity of seeing the effeets of our berm-
bardnient vn Flashing, into which it had been, for
some dayS, ra:ht`r difficult to &id adinksinn,,,and a
more melancholy speCtacle it is scarcely possibly to
imagine. The mangled bodies of men; women, and
children,.are daily extracting from
,the wrecl: of
their former habitations ; nearly 'one third of the
• town is in ruins. Of the Stadt-House, which has
been long the admiratien of travellers, which„ in
fa&, was Cone of the tnest splendid buildings in. the
Dutch territories, the outer walls 'alone: remain ;
two churches have been. burnt to the ground, one of
which was in the vicini.y of
.the arsenal ; the la:ter
had a most .miraculous escape, it received between
forty and fifty shots, and fire three different
times, bht owing to the ,extraerditia y precautions
taken, by 'the enemy,
_it viers got under. In one in-
stance the fire appears to have reached a yard
•of the tnagazine, which-romaitied nearly hundred
barrels of powder. 'Had this'cauht What a tre-
: -mendous etfed ! 'most kobriblf‘not a vestige of the
' • town would have been left standing. But 'mischief
enough has been doneto this unfortunate town ; not
a house have I seen-Which has not been perforated
'in various-places-. 'Although aiN. assemblage of ca-
lamity must naturally r7tcito coMpassion in fi;Vour at

deniatile testimony,' Lideed the ability displ.-i)'ed
by lhis.cotps 'WaS roost conspicuous. The biat. re-s
were disposed with great 'tet• inene • Their
ee
- pal force was on the riglit or, the lines, and in the
centre. There were (i*ittejn 24-pounders, and six
, 10-inch mortars at the former; teie24-petiodci aed
two mortar batterieS, the one of six 10-inch, and
.the other of four.] 0-inch at the latter. The guns on
the right bore diredly on -die enemy's left, and 'en-
filaded the sea-defeuees---to the westward of the
town; the guns in the centre enfiladed those of the
- enemy's left, and-took their searifr fences inseverse ;
between the right and centre there was a battery of
six 24 pounders, manned by the seamen, and also
some 10-inch howitzers, which enfiladed part of the
enemy's defences. On the I.:ft was a battery of
three 24:-pounders, and four to-inch mortars, which
bore on the right of the town.. Such was the de-
structive operation of these batteries atikl the ship-
ping, that it is'sepeosed, if theft fire had not been
suspetided on Sunday during the interval produced by the suunnoni sentin the gaeris-am, the
whole town would have been in flames on Sunday
night. An immense column of fire argil smoke en-
veloped the tom) about one o'clock on Monday.
It would be difficult to say which of the batteries did
-thest exetution. I have heard it stated that the
mortar-batteries in the centre were peculiarly et-Tec-
tive ; • to a shell' from one of these the firing
Of the Stadt-House is 'attributed. These mortars
\vete commanded by Captains Adye, 11,1dcartney,
andTyers. Tire ten gun battery in the Centre, un-
der Captains Munro and Scott, is also the sufejetrof
much panegyric. The tire batteries on the right,
under the cotumand of Capt.iin Smith, were roost
judiciously directed. Form, ately fur the shipping,
rt shot from one of these batteries completely detno- lished the furnace for heating shot, at the very out-
set of the bombardment, before itidced the shipping

so generally attached to the delay dint took phice
to
the constriklion of the works. it is stated, that
-cons( quence of the resistance made by. 'Terveer,
which prevented the ordoaece traeseorts from land-
ing their stores, &c. until Wednesday evening, the
entrenching tolls, &c. necesory for the constmaion
of the works must be waited for until they were
brought to the lines by the reads thiongh
burgh. When these necessaries arrived, it is as-
setted that the Engineers immediately commeoced
their operations. It is not pretended' that any delay
whatever took place in the conveyance or these ne-
tessaries. Such a pretence indeed could not be al-
leged, for no department of the service has been
condutted with stick judgment, or executed with
such dispatch, as that committed to the Marine Bri-
gade, under the dire6tion of Lord A. BeaUclerk,
whose acLivity and attention has been most 'exem-
plary ever since-out army landed. The progress' of
the works was also retarded by the inundation, and
the Piling fire of the garrison. This fire was such
that each of .our won
king parties had two men per-
petually on the watch for its protedion. The busi-
ness of
,these men was to keep their. Oyes on the
• ,
enemy s guns directed towards Ahern,
ever they observed i•flash, and, when-
to cry out " Shell !''
ppm; which cry the party were immediately pros-
trate; and so remained until the shell burst they
then rose again and resumed their libour. It is not
to be expected 'that men working under such cir-
cumstances could make much progress, and I have
myself seen a party so proeeeding. •

MAIDSTONE, A uG. 29.

Early this morning he following convicts were
removed from the County Gaol, under a Strong
guard, to tiVvolw•icb, and there put on board a Hulk,
prepßratory to their being transported to New South
Wales, viz.—Thomas Smit hers, Wm. BJrchani, Ro-
bert Hughes, Chatlesßowles, Wm. Hail, Jeremiah
Barlow, and Thomas Millen.

CommytmcNTs.—Peter Presnel, committed by
Sir HENBY HAWLEY, Bart. 24th inst. on suspiclou
of breaking open the house of John Orpin, in Ley-
bourn, 00 the 23d inst. in the day-time, no persOn
being therein, and feloniously stealing and taking out
of the said,bouse one ham, a quarter of a hundred of
coarse clay sugar, three loaves of bread, sundry arti-
cles of linen, two sacks, and a case of razors, the
property of the said John Orpin.
Joseph Budds, committed by War. LUsHINGTON,
Esq. 25th inst. charvd with having vio:ently
sauliod Hannah, Vaughan, in the parish of Mur-
stop, and having attempted to commit a rape upon
her body.

, Yesterday morning, as Mr. W►n. Jarvis, baker, of
this town, was driving a one-horse chaise down
Gabriel s Hill, the horse's feet slipped, and he tell
down : whilst he was endeavouring to get \the ani-
mal up,again,.,he suddenly plunged, and struck. the
shaft of the chaise against Mr. J.'s, leg, and unfortu-
nately broke it.,

Last week, at Crayford Fair, as Vial) Reynolds,
a poor man, who resides at Barming, in Kent, but
had long been accustomed to attend the several fairs
of the county wish a swing boat, had erected his
machinery at the above fair ; a shower of rain com-
ing on while the same was in motion, discomposed
some of the apparatus, and in order to save the peo-
ple who were swinging in the boat from the danger
that threatened them, he endeavoured to stop its
progress, but in the attempt it struck him on the
breast, and after expressing " I am a dead man,"
he instantly expired.

Yesterday morning, at six o'clock:, n respe@able
Gentleman, residing in the first floor, at a Mr.
Huntley's, Stationer, No. 4, Duke-street, Grosve-
nor-square, put a period to his existence by taking a
vast quantity of laudanum.
Extraordinary instance of Longevity and Fecundity
in a domestic Fowl.—There is row living, on the
lands of Garey, near Ballymoney, a goose, the pro-
perty of Mr. John Camack, a respectable farmer,
who avers that she is now upwards of 40 years old,
and for the most part of which time produced from
40 to 50 eggs each year. She regularly hatched one,
and sometimes two broods in the tieason, until the
last two years, when, owing to her peg age
the course of nature, her procrt alive powers must
have been exhausted. lio%;ever, from her external
appearance, there is reason to conclude she may yet
live a considerable time longer.
Wheat rose very considerably at the Devizes
market on Thursday. But a very alive Alefnber
of the Bath Agricultural Society states, that he thorlit
it his business stridly to inquire, at•the last 1,-V;tr-
minster market,, respeaing the real state of the crop,.
of wheat and other grain, and he had the assuranee
of several principal fin-niers, that they had not then
been materially damaged by the rains. The inter-
vals of sun-shine, with the operation of the drythg
winds, had enabled the diligent farmer to secure fits
grain. There was in general very lit! le appearance
of smut or blight; and the crops, upon the Whole,
do certainly exceed :he usual average.
CORIV• EA CHANGE, AUG. 30. There are 9ev,rai
fresh arrivals of Wheat .0-day, and the remaining-
qmantities rather considerable, very tew toe samples,

We lately rhad.occasion to mention a tnelarrcholy
calamity which occurred .by the sicking of ahe pas-
sage-boat between aornoch and'Tain, in Beotlaild;
The following additiorW particulars are contained in
a letter from an inhabitant of Dornoch, to his friend
at Glasgow ;
" I have to relate one of the most -awful and the
most tnelancholyaccidents that ever oecurredin
part of the world.. Last Wednesday, being the fair
day at Taiu, the ferry-boat in passing from that side
to the south side, sunk, and the whole on board
FOrishea; ti>,.4p,,vards of one hundred'and
-twenty Oessong, among whom 'were Sheriff IVI‘ Cul-
loch, Nr. John Leslie, merchant; and Isabel his
f ;ter, l'itere were epwarcls of Neity from
the- town, and sixty-three from the parish. It is
easier for yOu to conceive than for me to describe
the awful situation of the whole toWit. The whole
church-ydrd is one scene of graves ; and all yester-
daY carts were employed in carrying the dead bodies
to the town. Few of those belonging to the town
have been yet found; but I am hopeful- a' number
willte found this day, as we have got a net; and are
going to try what we can do.. The boat was over-
loaded, and, as soon as they left the land, began' to.
. The blame Has-been much laid on 'Suther-
land, the ferryman .on the south-side, who has suf.,
fered, as he happened 'unfortunately to be on this side
that fatal morning., The day was liiiite•Ohn. Good
God what whavoc in one parish—whole farniliett-have
perished 11.!...e:
