and those more in the interior are rapidly being
placed in that state. Vielthworks and entrench-

NARRATIVE of the DUKE D'ANGOULEME.

A LETTER FROM TWE DUKE D'ANGOU-
Eg PE
DATED 3ARCELONA, APRIL S.
I bare
aOtl'ast arrived here, having done all that
EXTRACT
tmy power do ; and shall now state to
i was
you, M
few words, what has pasted in the South.
On the 30th of March, Atnedee Descars repulsed
General Debelle before Montelimart ;- on the 2d
of April we completely beat the enemy at the
passage of the Drome : 2 cannon, 2 colours, and
800 prisoners were the fruits of the victory : the
possession of Valence as well as of the course
of the here were its results.. On the 3d, I learned
that Gen. Ernottf, abandoned by the 58th refit. had
been obliged to retrograde upon Sistcron, and that
Nismes and Montpelier had hoisted the signal of
rebellion. 1 was speedily informed that Generals
Grouchy and- Pire were marching front Lyons
against me,-and that Gen. Gilly was marching from
Nisthes upon Pont St. Esprit : I perceived that it was
necessary to think of retreat. On the 6th, I
learned by the arrival of M. Ferdinand Berthier,
that all was over at Bourdeaux and roulouse.—
General Phi the same day attempted the passage
of.the Isere, and was repulsed. The news from
Nistnes and Montpelier beingilisseminate4 among.
oar National Guards, made us lose a part of them.
I quitted Valence at half-past 10 at night. I bi-
vouacked with the 10th regiment, and afterwards
marched for MonteiiMart, where I arrived at 4 in
the afternoon of. the 7th. The Colonel of the
14th who had rejoined nie the evening before, hi-
ed me that he st:tts no longer
master of his
regimentfrom that town
in fact quitted me, and proceed-
ed for Valence. It had been propozd MC to
alone
this' I ref used.
The country people, who were ill-disposed, were
operating lunch on the. minds of the regiment of ,
artillery, which front that time was of no farther
use. The proposal' of departing alone was re-
newed again refused it, and sent General
D'Aoitanne to Ge4eral Gilly at Pont St. Esprit,
to wake a, convention with him for liberty to pass
with toy corps, in order it 4; retire on the Durance
and on the tsols I continued thy march. Gencral
