PARIS, so THERMIDOR, AUG.3B.

The 2 tit demi-brigade of Light Infantry hap-
pening to pafs through Clermont Ferrand, the
principal town of the department of Puy de Dome,
on the 23d Thermidor, ( Aug. ) perceived an
obeli(k, which the inhabitants of? that city had
erated to the memory of General Disuse,
who commanded this regiment in Egypt. As
might be e speEted, they were inftantly mfpired
with all thole emotions which the recolleEtion of a
deceafed leader is calculated to excite, and a ge-
neral cry was heard throughout the ranks, ti Let
at do honour to the memory of our brave GentralP'—
They immediately formed into a fquare battalion,
a mode of forming very commonly adopted by
this warrior ; the band played a number of mourn-
ful airs. A part of the regiment defiled round
the °Wilk, and the carabineers whetted their arms
on the pedelial. Thus on another occafion two
grenadiers whetted their fabres on the tomb of
Marelchal SAXII, and doubtlefs the carabineers of
the zilt thought like them that the marble confe-
crated to a hero had the power of communicating
valour.—journal du Defeafeurs.
