a Very serious quarrel. Tire Marquis cie GallO;who

agreed to substitute the word darling for that of

General, rind pal titular ly his love of plondee
On his eeturn from joiped his division,
the heat =quarters of which were at Padua,
.hehad •
for the teaa of his Staff an officer,.; who, to rely the,
least of hirn,• was fully, as expert a 4 his eommander.,
in the art of plundering. It was Adjutaet•General
Solignac, who is at this mumeut a General of Di-
vision, under,General Junot, rim Portugah The ex-
tortiop must hate been eilorrrteaus, *ince tie inhabi-
tants were obliged to make rumplahos to Btioue-
parte, who affeeted to censure Massena. The latter
threw all the bletne upon the head el his Staff, who
readily consented to take all the fault upon himself,
provided heewas pot called upon tpinake restitution.
The robberies of .General Masssna formed the enb-
jeti of convsrsatiou of the whole army. The very
soldiers were' ashamed of them ; and the officers
felt the greatest tourtificatiou in being under NS
orders. They were restramed by the presence of
Buonaparte. They, howeVer, soon had an oppor-
tuonrof 'theWing their rest-omit:en. Masseeae.ap-
ppitned General ;n Chief of the Army 'of Rome, set
out with all possibfe (expedition for'this brilliant de-
stination. Already did 'he lusr for the chefs d oeuvres

and be couch:l(U with assuritte them thet the Ge-
nteel was well inclined to do evety thing in his

ing the attachment of the officers to General Mireur,
the)! unanimously refused to follow his advice,. ob-
serving e--" that they had long known how ready
Massena was to make promises; that his conduct at
Padua was 'a
pledge fur that winch he would follow
at Ronie, if be was received We're; and that they
were resolved nut to acknowledge been as Comman-
der in Chief." On hearing Iles, Massena did not
know what to do. It .was said that his Aides-de-
Canes could hardly prevent heist from blowing out
his •brains.. Having been appeased, however, by
some friends, he wished to waken fast effort. He
endeavoured to conjure this -political storm by. filiry
prociamatioes. Officers and soldier:, bate laughed
at them. el'heir veciferation increased to such a de-
gree, that fears were entertained of their proceed-
ing-to violence. Massena was obliged to make his
escape frets] Rome under. she shelter of night.
The Dieeetory del trot tied it convenient to punish
this dison‘eii, rice of their orders ; and to indemeify
::lasselia for the mortification he experienced at
Rouse, he was appointed Commander in Chief of the
ikraiy in Helvetia.• For the purpose of facilitating
the opeiations of the Army of the Danube,. com-
as 'tided by Jourdan, whice was to act in Suabia,
i'vlassena 'passed the Rhine: At er taking Fort St.
Lucisteig, he marched towards Cuire. Al, hough
attacked by a force tierce iimes greater thin that
under his command, the Austrian General Atiffen-
berg defended the ground 'inch .by hie!). The fol-
lowing are the terms in which Massena gives an ac-
count to the Directory of, the battle in which lie
took, this General prisoner :—" Tired by this long
resistance, and wishing to strike a deciSive bleme.l
ordered the battalions. of the 37th and 103 d to be
formed into a condensed-mass, and in' this fermid-
able array I, made them match at a charging pace."
He dearly paid for this slight advantage by his ab-
surd attack upon the entrenchments at Feldkirk.—
He endeavoured to carry thetu. by assault six times
in succession ; be was as often repulsed. General
Oucbnot succeeded in obtaining possession of a
height, where a few guns would have greatly an-
noyed the Austrians. • general Jellachich attacked

. ,
it at the head of the Hungarian grenadiers. Eery
ULM who did no: save himself by flight was put to
the sword. Atier a loss of 6uoo in killed and
wounde.!, Massena followed the muvewents of the

Army a the Danube, which had been defeated at
Hietlingen by hince Charles. Attacked on the

left bank of the Rhine, he sheaved a good front.-
Through obstinacy he fought several engagements;
as useless as they were sanguinary, and Luck a posi-
tion on the left bank of the Limaih. At Zurich,
he sacrificed, for no. objet whatever, a great num-
ber of brave men. He was finally obliged to fall
back as tar as Mount Albis, where he took a posi-
lion, his right resting 011 the lake of Zug, and his
lett on the, Rhine.

The Archduke Charles having quitted Switier-
lindAvith a ,select corps, and marched ros,v:irds.Alati-

11Lissena, who bad received considerable rein-

foiceiwnts, and who was consequently much supe-
ior to the Austro-Russian army,' made various ridi-
culous ex.:uSes tor postponing the attack he was
ordered to make. .13c-rnadotte was then ,Minister of
War. The real motive of Alassena's inaavity was
at 'length discovered. , A confidant of the 'Minister

wrote Itjtn,

that (lie Commander in Chief. was

determined to remain on the defensive so long as he
continued at the head of the war deportmeht (lint
he was more than ever'. prejudiced against him, by
the enmity which arose between them in the Army
of ; and that be .would r:ot by a victory -ccu-
firm Bernadotte in an eminent .situation, which lip
was mortified' to see him fill." The same Un'icei-

_ .
communicated, that General Sault had several days
before presented w Alassena a plan ofattdck, wh eh
was adopted, with this remat k on the part of the
General in Chief:—‘‘ We will inakti: I,nl attack, my

The Ccfninanitler of the army of _the Sambre and
„Meuse was leading to Buonaparie a division of
15,000 brave and well disciplined men. In appear-

and more steadiness, h:in the division of Massena.
Fault ilium be tound with them. They were treated
as Ai istocrats and. Royalists. The soldiers of Bev-

Massena, that they did.not join the Army of Italy

Alter.havolg rtiolu‘ely 510C...tided the positions in the
neighbourhood of Genoa, -Massend -was obliged to
shut himself up in that city. He sustained a siege,
or rather a blockade in it, the celeb ity of which,May
be ascribed to the eNti-aordinary sOlienude sANhich the
arrival of Iluonaparte in the 4411)ese,eXciled
Lord K.eith and the Austrian Generals, to 'induce
Massetsa to surrender. They obtained by tia.teiy
an advawiTe from. Massena that force could not'
have extorted. • My. historical noies will citable the
reader to form an estimate of this period of Mits.
semi's-military career. He surrendered Geno.l ton
days before t.1.1e battle of M;irengo,,which took pia( e
on the 14dr of Jude, I son. Lois atiirtned that he
could have protracted hiS defence beyond that time,
notwithstanding the assertions of his histor au, Ge
Thirbault, his former Aide. de-Camp. When Buo-
naparte learned the. real situation of Genoa when it
capitulated, he expresied his ilissatis'faction to.Ma4.,
sena,' and deprived him of the command of the
Army of 'tidy, which' he had conferred on him alter
the battle of Marengo.
Little afictied by his disgrace, for which he felt in-
demnified by the great wraith be
.had acquired by
iNtis,ena lived in great reOreitlent, some-
times at Paris, but generally. near Matinaison, -Ja
a very fine country-house Which he had purchased,
at , Ruelle, a large village situated near the great
road which leads to the water-works at Manly'. He
was appointed a Member of the Legislinve Body.
At the period when Buonaparte , was named Con-
sul for lite, Massena ptovt6 that he was by ito
• means of a rancorous disposition. lie was fOrward
publicly- adopting
_every thing that could' be
agreeible to 'his old General in Chief. He follow. rr
ed the same plan ‘‘ hen the nomination of Emperor
took phce. Buoraparte was forced to fork,-t what
was odious in his conduCt at Gen6h, -and rewarded
the'submiSsion of Massena,. by p:actog him in the
list of Marshils t't the Empire. His, ronoriition to
favour excited no surptiset It was lino Nu that
he loved nothing but money ; end 'every' buck %VHS
persuaded that he would humble himself until he
had soothed' the wrath of [he,goltansi but all uti-
lb w
ary men were astonished when they learnt that
he was appointed General i'n Chief of the Army of
rtaly, in 1805.

While litionaparte manoeuvred in Suabia with
the-froops of the camp of boulogne;and destroyed
an army of 30,000 Austrians uodk-r the orders Of
Mack, Massena was getting beaten by Prince Charles
at Caldero, in front of Verona, on the very same
ground whore he had been overthrown by Alvinzi'
in t 796. The army of the Archduke ..,as composed
of chosen troops ; he had fin' battalions of Hunga-
rian infantry. When the reverses sustained-on the
Upper panube obliged that Prince to sound a retreat,
in order to succour the hereditary Provinces, Mas-
;en i pursued him with much- less impetuositr than:‘
in 1797. He carried on hiS circumspection wo far
as to let him get two marches a-head. He had his
reasons ibr not pressing too closely on the Austrian
army ; the affair at Caldero had taught Jinn to re-
sped

- When the peace of Presburg had authorized the
conquest of Naples, Massena had the command of
the centre of.theT army of Joseph Buonaparte. . In
the organization which the new General in Chief.
gave to his army after his 'entrance into Naples, he
afpointed Massena commandant of his right wing.
'He made him occupy'Naples and the adjacem
winces.

In 18tt7, Massena was summoned to the grand
army in Poland. He corritnanded the co, ps• detach-
ed upon the Nalew in the direction of Druezewo.
He had only to support one affair of advanced posts,
which was at first to his disadvantage, b rt which he
repaired by Ow arrival of all his troops..
Itt 1809 'Mass:ma was employed, in the grand,
army. His corps not having been able to take any
share in the battle of Eckniuld, he sensed there in
Che capacity of Aidtf•de-Camp. Buon'apare says in
his liullenn, that the Duke of Wvoti serked by
carrying orders to the different' corps of the army.
At the battle of E.sliog, he had to perform 'iziore
important functions. He stood in need (4" all his.
iirmaesi, to keep up his men wider a terrible fire of
artillery and muskttry, \Ouch- could ohly tte tet.bly

that, with resped to that Power, those reguiatiuns

Of Prance and her dependencies, and the cargoes, to
the amount of several millions of dollars, sold as

the Duke of Cadoreiwo days before he lett Paris..

voked. Every American vessel will be.admittedt
2: The confiscated property will 'be restored as
soon as Congress; shall have revoked the law on 't he
3ilbjeCA of fines incurred for the contravention of
Non-intercourse Bill.

It may be remembered that the Princess of SAX-
ONY declined the matrimonial overtures of BuONA-
PARTE, and it is by no means improbable that that
circumstance may' have operated upon the unrelent-
ing nature of the Tyrant, and induced him to new-
model the Government.,of Saxony, and reduce its
Ruler to a private station, though one .of his own
created Kings.

Sunday last, a wolf and a racoon, belonging to
an itinerant shownian of the name of Perkins,: who
was on his way from Stamford to Leicester, broke
out of his caravan at Empingham, in Rutlandshire,
.where he had put up for the night. It is supposed
'they escaped through a door that (vas not prop:rly
secured. The racoon has not yet been heard of,
but the wolf has been seen in Burley Wood ; all
eßdeavgurs to take him have as yet been ineffectual.
Several sheep have been missing since the escape of
these Voracious animals.
