" ST. DENIS, JULY 4, ISIS.
" I was truly happy to find the report of another
battle in front of C impeigne was unfounded; there
was. however, some little lighting between the Prus-
sians and some French. From Cambray we went to
Raye, where the King was, and in a small town
there was as much confusion as you Clll imagine.
The British stormed Catnbray and escaladed it. It
is an amazingly strong place ; our loss was 30 killed:
Peronne, through which we passed, is not a strong
place ; here there was a little fighting, and the Duke
of Welliugrrar was very near being killed by a can-
:v.!' ball. Jost as we ware leaving Kaye, an account
reached the ling of the Military C'nvention signed
at Paris. Tire hells immediately were rung, and
every beurst was illuminated. Hundreds of carriages
set off for Pat is, and the icing left just before mid-
We followed and overtook him at the tirst
rage ; he looks remaikahly well. The Prussians
plunder ant destroy as they go; we saw several
houses burn:rig in the night. They are not restrained
by their o.licers, for they all say they will make the
French feel what they themselves have experienced,
and though the Blitish pay for every thing and are
rot alim% ed to pl.inder, 1 have not met with a single
Ltiglisli Officer who is not of :pinion the Prussian's
ILL quite properly. The French detest the Prussians,
but much teapect the English as far as I have yet had
El opportunity of perceiving.
" One can form an idea of the scene that a
country exhibits which is the seat of war, without
seekg ii. Almost eve-y house is f ‘rsaken by the in.
h tbstatitt, arid Irlthirtg but de.olation appears, for the
Prussians never leave a house that they enter, in the
state in which they found it. They were determined,
they said, to burn P.iris ;. and it is thought they
will not be restrained from avenging themselves, at
least in some degree, on that eity. One of the objects
or ;he Duke's almost unprecedently rapid march to
Pay is, was to prevent the destruction of the city.—
the English are the Parisians indebted for their
lives and property. Will they be grateful for this?
Events will s•rese.
44 1 have now to record one of the finest sights an
Englishman could behold. I saw the tallied forces,
beaded by the English.. ascend and take possession of
Monte Mame. I went to the top of it, where you
have a view of the whole of Parisp which city squid
be destroyed from thence in eirsey.ahortlime indeed.
Two hundred thousand men coul4.never take Monte
Mitre from the English, if supplied with provisions.
The Parisians now must submit, for if they were to
revolt, the city. would cerfainly. be *strayed. They'
must be dreadfully &Oft it seeing their capital a second
time, within about fifteeu months, in the possession
of hostile armies.

safe to remain there till eker th", sea and the Bri•
tish troops occupy it.-this they .er.lilida *bet to-it.), I
or vmanfrow. Lord C.assixns.+ol,l67, says is ar-
rived hem. As a civilian I haystmet.witb much at-
tention from the English oaten! .excepting one, on
Monte Matte, whose name f.hoe not yet been able
to learn. Ths. diffiFsilty of traVel4pg and getting
lodgings is immense. I slept but one night in camp,
there being no bed to be got..
" The -French troops quit the capital this day, and
tile Dished Wellington will review, the Allied Forces
ip front of Paris either this afternoon or to-morrow.
Rmaparte was understood. tar yesterday three
leagues only from Paris. His troops retire behind
the Lire, and are expected to disperse and go to
their homes, though some think the business is not
yet settled. The army is in high spirits airs the
British trine ps look nobly. What a contrast between
them and sum*• of the foreign troops I The difference
characterises the Hai in.
" The weatbtr is very fine, but much warmer than
in E al gad : the dust is tinbe.traide.

yesterday a ti ig of truce was sett into Paris, and that
the Parisians tiled at the men; they wt unded a dra-
goon and killed a Portuguese sery tr that was with.

arms would be distributed to eve.y body applying

musket. and now the 'ems cannot be got back from
them. , I sr ould• in t wonder if there should )et be
horrible work in Paris; mid till every think is per-
fectly tranquil, I am resolved to keep close to the
British army."

I have taken up my quarters in this capital, which is

The crowd of Paribians at St. Denis y. bterciaty was
immense. Those of the National Guard who came

their wives, were shot when they approached the gates

. The French peasants of Gilt fear an invasion.—
They are leaving their hones, carrying off their
effects and driving their cattle before them. They
retire beyond 111.,unt Sure. At Verscis there are ne
troops. and hardly any. inhabitants. An Austrian
column had passed Geneva on the 28th, and pro.
seeded towards Gore and Vestoix ; on the 29th the
sound of cannon announced anew action upon the
Arve. Baron Frimont had his head-spatters, on the
28:11, at Evian.
Tlie French soldiers say they would agstar.,yeet

We doubt whether the sacking of Mal , Naito* by
the PI usziant afforded a richer booty than gist which
