What a contemptible Onaek. We do not know
oil perusing such a story whether more to despise
tyre Char/ohm who played the principal part, or
the People so egregiously frivolous and degraded
as to endure the tragic fooleries of such a Cox-
comb.

We have beard tuna of the excesses committed
by the Cossacks in France, and God knows the
outrages to which a Country is exposed when
overspread by the best disciplined hostile army,
are enough to tnake liumanity-shudder 'and nature
weep tears of blood. We have read too, authenti.:.
eated descriptions of the monstrous.cruelties and
fiend-like atrocities which marked the course of
the French in the Peninsula ; hut what 'Shall we

More barbarity in France, than those who entered

evil, Napoleon, who knew not how to provide either suhsist-
elice or pay for his soldiers, issued a Proclamation, &c. It
was confined to the Army, and Napoleon' took especial care
that-it shriul4 not reach Paris: . .

" Order of the Day, deed Nogent, Feb. 8.

The-Emperor expresses his displeasuTe with the Army on
account of the excesses to which it has abandon rd ifseif.-
Thcse'exeesses, which are always blameable, become more
criminwl when they are. committed on our own territory.—

Inh.ribitants eiery-where fig, a' -lid the•,4rmy which ought to de-.

.After this confession, who will listen to cow--,

joyed- 'after -surplising" GenerAl ALSOFIEFF, and
forcing Generals SACKER and YORCK Arhoin he•

Sois,ons and Rlichns., anal thence compelling
BLUCHER also to fall baelt with great loss, while
success, at the sameffinn, attended the divisions
under •Vrcroa and;ilJaanoNT on the Seine,' was,
we are assured, the ignis fawns whiCh led him to
at
his downfall, lie exclaimed " 1 shall lie Vienna mueli•.sooner than they will be at Paris,"
and tore in-pieces the Treaty sent, for his appro
bation by his Ambassador at 'Chi-16110n. The con-
ditions were, that France should return to her'
finther li flits, and an Extraordinary and Secret
Council of the Regency almost unanimously de-
cided, that the tennis should be.aceepted, ,but, as
M. GIRAUD observes of the Tyradt, " his good
fortnne betrayed him, by caressing him, and he
lost every thing, because he believed he had•gain-'
•ed all."

The last grand. desperate plan, which ended in.
the 'overthrow of
.the Usurper, viz. his March to
. throw himself between the Allies and the Rhine,'
is narrated with some new cirenins:tances, but the
Author does not seem to he aware, that it- was in
ileveloving his army -by Areis-sur=Aube- in 'this
mauceuvie, ~that litioNAPanTE first enabled his
enemies to ascertain the, real amount-of his force,
the comp: moire weakness of which determined
them to hire him to defeat, by appearing to fall.
into his- -stratagem, while in- fact, they seized
the opportunity of marching upon Paris. This
was ardeeisive movement on both sides; and the,
happy result is known, but neither the above tact,
which we state Upon= our own unquestionable "in-
formation ; nor the intelligence contained in this
volume, that BUONAPARTE had taken measures
to concentrate all the garrisons of the places on
the Rhine, to cut oft the retreat of the Allies, are
generally, if at all, known.to the public. We al-
most tremble to look hark to the crisis when these
Tlieastlt.C3 were attempted, but the resolution of
the adscraarY was too late. .
We shall not pursue the. History through the
scenes which terminated in the capitulation of
Paris, but rionclude these remarks with noticing
a statement which says little:for the accuracy oi
the Author ; .and another which.ation'o3 a novel
instance of the atrocious character of the Tyrant.
At (he baule.of Toulouse, M. GIRATiD informs us
abosit 16 or 18,000 mcii repulsed, during 'a whole
day, the'attacs .of an enemy infinitely superior,
and that they destroyed 20,000 of the enemy, prin-
cipally Sriniards. Surely the man Wfio could
gravely relate this, had no ground for ridiculing
the Corsican's The'other transaction
to which we have alluded, is of a more credible
nature : atter noticing that ninny persons who
impeded the,anajitious views of the Malian dis-
appeared so apropos, that it almost seemed as if
the bullets of the Enemy Were commissioned to
accomplish his purposes, hesubiains ip a note the

ilzata.s, Jam. 3'l.—ln order to contidict still
mort fay the reports of *arlike preparations
making by the Allied Po:vers.,. which were cir;
Ciliated in many German and French Papers, it
is interesting to adduce, as an indisputable' fact,
that four Prussian regiments of infantry and ten
regiments et cavalry have just left the Rhine and
its neighbourhood, to return home. The order
published by the King to this effect, expressly in-
dicates that these troops reach their provisional
destination on the Elbe and the Oder, the far-
.
ther destination to their future garriSons in time
of peace will most probably take place.. -

LETTER FROM VIENNA, JAN: 23.—The nego-
ciations concerning the Slave Trade seen now, in
consequence of generotd sacrifices on the part of
England, likely to lead to the conclusion, that
Spain and Portugal will agree to abolish it on the
terms prescribed to France in the Treaty of Paris,
that is in four years. Several notes have again
been exchanged about Poland and Saxony, with-
out leading to any official publication of the re-
sults,. so ardently expected. Though none of the
PoWers are willing to give the first cause for War,
when after such long struggles, and the best
founded hopes of peace, it would, be highly un-
expected and generally detested tlirouglidu:
Europe, and most destriictive in its consequences;
yet each of the Allied Powerg abides so firmly by
its principles or pretensions, that each expects the
first concession to come from the others.

STOCKAIOLM, JAN. 17.—" Clue Diet will open at'

-turbanees have brokenoot in the Northern parts

.HAMBURGH, JAN. 28.—The illustrious friend
of our' city; conntßenningsen, left us to day to
go to Hanyver, which' boasts of having given in
him to the great Empire, one of its most distin-
guished heroes. His-E2ccelleney will pass some
iveeks.with his family at Henover, and then pro-
ceed to It s new destination, the-command of the
Southern Army' of ,the gryat.Monarch, to whbut,

our-Metter fortune.
