GE A EJUL SARRAZIN.

The motives which induced this 6,,ntlernan to
visit England have not been sufficiently developed ;
but we cnderstand that his arrival 18 in a great de'
gree to be ascribed to the, ndifterence and neglect
which he has experienced, while others of inferior
merit and sirvices have been raised to the highest

distinEtions-. He had been, we are informed, 24
years in the T'rench army, and as he saw upstarts
every day preferred, and had very little chance 01
being raised himself, he resolved, it is said, to quit
a country, the government of which is likely to
continue only during the life of its present ruler,
and then perhaps to relapse into all the horrors that
marked the Revolution.

He is a man, as we- learn, from the most re'
speelable authority, of general knowledge, as we 1135

exger ience. He is not, like most Frenchmen► 3

depreciate those Of others. He speaks of Buoro."
Pet RTE with apparent impartiality, and without
any observable bias of resentment. He considers
him as the first General of the age. Souvr, in

opinion, is the second; and ihe Archduke enaaLs

the third.
General SARRAZIN was on duty when Buorlit-
PARTE,and his new Empress were at Boulogne. Ar-
ter viewing the fortifications, and every thing inter'
esting in the town, they went to the heights to lalo
a peep at the ocean. The Austrian Princess had 3
telescope in her band, and observing a vessel cruiz'
ing, at some distance, she inquired what it was'
and was informed that it was an English vessel.
ceiva-n% five others in the harbour, she asked what
• they were, and was told that they belonged to 1116
Emperor. She then asked why the five vessels
I not go and take that belonging to the Enemy. At
