smite details about the part in Which he wilt per-
sonally concerned. A Captain of Grenadiers of
the 64th (King's 60th) regiment of the line, who •
-passing through the place had been invited to
table, related that he hail belonged to the Corps,
of Vamlamme, which, with that of Grouchy; bail
pushed forwards without stopping, and had ar-
rived on the morning of the 19th, between Lon-
value and Brassels, where they Wereainfirrmed of
the defeat of the grand army.
.Another affirmed,
that the confusion first.began among the Grena-
diers of the imperial Guard. The conversation
became gradually more lively and general, tin
General'Markongey took up the discourse, and
xvith much fire, but with a very agreeable deli-
very, explained, first, the progress of the battle
till the coming up of the Prussians,. painted the
English as wholly beaten, and engaged in a re-
treat which was indeed perfectly orderly, bat would
doubtless been irrecoverable had those troops
been Grouchy's, which Buonaparte, with incon-
ceivable obstinacy, believed to be so-; or.if some
men had not lost their preseoce.of mind in whose
hand the good and bad fortune of France was at
that time placed : and now he broke out into a
tirade which I remembered almost word for word,
and so wrote doWn at the nest station at Coupois.
It is the following -:
" In short, Sir, see what has brought us to. the
brink of the precipice ; but what do I say, to the
brink ? It is indeled between two abysses that the
beautiful France is placed. On the one side, tltere
is the most dreadful of all evils, a civil war of ex-
termination (a 1/1071 RI a outrance)-; on the-other
hand, a Eine: hut half alive, who arrives in the
train of the English baggage,and'after him that
drunken debauched -rake 13—, and. that bigot,
that. unfrocked monk
" This is truly what England wanted ; not only
to impose upon us an automaton. (mannequin) as.
Sovereign for the moment, but to perpetuate this
Clod game to the coming generation. Is that
what is wanted ter reign- over a nation endowed
with almost chivalrous sentiments, and copse-
onently to cnterprizes. I might say adventures
such as are met with in romance or in ancient
history ?
" Every moment people repeat " Vive Hen-
ri IV. 1" Yes. honour to that great man, to that
magnanimous. Sovereign ; but was there ever less
resemblance between the founder of a family, or
'his great great grantlehildren, • than between him
and the Bourbons of our days ? Did Henry IV.
alter lie had pronounced amnesty and 'pardon,
ever place greybeards, who had grown old in arms,
who had distinguished themselves by their ta-
lents, their zeal and their.bravery (against bhp),
under the order of young coxcombs ()renegue's),
of insolent fops (musca dins), who thiOlt they
make their first essay in arms with honour, bylifiz.7-
suiting the veterans who have deserved well of
their country for twenty years together I Or did
he ever permit old dotards (ganaches) figures from
the other world, wig-blocks (letes'aperruque) who
seem to come from under the ground, to pretend
to the titles, even to the property of their fellow-
citizens, became the latter had with their lives
and fortune supported a rootest against the uni-
verse, whilst they,?recipitately left their native
land which was in danger."
In this style Ire eont bitted to talk till I depart-
ed, arrzather till I told him that I had beard at
Bourges, that the Krng. would 'take 7,000 men
not of the Imperial Guard, for his own Body
Guard, and that he (Markongey) whold retain
the command of the first corps.
At ,Sareergoes I spoke- to a INltrechal de Camp,
whose name I have forgotten ; he was }list em-
ployed in
.examining the 21st regiment. '['here
were about 200 men. Yagers, Voltigenrs, Grena-
diers, all mixed together, and a very great num-
ber of Officers.
" See, Sit," said lie to me, " all that I have
been able to preserve of my brave men for his
Most Christian Majesty."—Afterwards I met a
detachment of
,the young guard. near 500 men,
Who were 3nat going to relieve all the troops at.
St. nonzie, Tauvenay, Saucerre, St. Satur, as feu.
as Beaulieu.
This is the report which I have hereby the
honour most humbly to lay before your Excel-
lency.
