repulsed with the loss of several men, esp'ecially the
Officer who was to be *pointed Governor. The
English General granted r.. 1 No au Es a Flag of

a long time in.small towns,, and was astonished to
perteive the grossness of the prejudices which are
instilled into the people against, the-,French. Fit 'y
never speak of them in any 'other terms bar.as French

Under an improved Administwition, the. taxes for

the ptirpose.. The barrier tax produced last year
filtetn millions, _len of which were appropriated to
repairing and completing the roads; this year, car-
riages pass over Le Simplon and. Mont-Cenis. At
the Bodge of Tours, the: three arches which 'lad,
fallen down are perfeCtly res4ored, -and new. bridges
are
,ereaed in various parts of the Republic. Three
new bridges 'are building at Faris, partly -at the- ex-

public expence. The third of. these (near tl'e 3-ar-

The Canal of St. Quirgin is.carrying on at four
different plaCes,. and a subterranean gallery of con:
siderable length'is just complete(f. Canals are also
undertaken in various parts of the Republic, parti.
cularly one which will unite the navigation-of the
Rhone_ with that -of the' Rhine, and another which
will carry; a water comitunieit ion into the very
centre of she Ancient Bretagne.

The Canal which -is to -join the Schettit, the.
Maese; acid the Rhine, occupies the serious atten-
tion of GoVermitent. Measures are taken for its
speedy eketution, and the funds are already pro_.
vided for that work, which will 'open a comniuni-
