she is now nearly reduced to a Skeleton ; this change
is ascribed to the anxiety of her situation, in conse-
quence [of the rupture between her father and her
husband. Some of the Parisians go so far as to insi-
nuate, by hints and inaendos, that Bouerearc does
not always restrain the violence of his temper, even in
his intercourse with the Empress, and this conduct is
supposed to operate so powerfully on her health and
spirits. The people of Paris remained tranqnil,
though groaning under a load of. Private as well as
public misery. Nothing was known at Paris of the
order for suspending the payment of debts due from
France to Holland ; the first information this Gentle-
man received on the subject was from the Dutch
Papers which he saw on his arrival here."

The Dkpatches from Lord WELI.IraToN, of the
122 d init. (of which we gave a sketch yesterday in a
Second Edition) were brought by Captain the Count
de Gitaustomr, a French Emigrant Officer in the
British service. This gallant Officer had an oppor-
tuniti'of entering Guiche, in which his patersig estate
is situated. It is now in- the-pessession of one of the
Thieves and Assassins of BONAPARTeS Legislative
Body. The Count de i!tAblidONT was immediately
recognized by• an old Abbe, and by the ancient
tenants of his father, and greeted with the mon en-
thusiastic demonstrations of joy and affection. They
made a triumphal arch for him in the village, through
which he was carried on the shoulders of the vil-
lagers. He vow austred that the some ardent dairy for

BRITISH ARMY IN FRANCE.
'We have received but few private communications
from the Army under the Marquis of Wetaastoron,
on the subject of the late splendid victories. The
particulars which we are enabled to lay before our
Readers are, nevertheless, gratifying. Sou Les army,
although more numerous than was- expected, was
composed of. a motley collection of old Men and boys
—the latter were literally whipt forward to the at-
tacks, and of course fell into the most complete dis-
order. The French loss woo consequently enormous
—some accounts say in the proportion of five to one.
It appears that SOUL? entertained no suspicion of the
fidelity of the Nassau and Frankfort German Regi-
ments, which came over to the British on the 10th,
for he placed them rather in advance. They were
originally 4000 strong, but mustered only 1700 when
they came over. Their Officers state, that mutiny
and desertion prevailed to a considerable extent in
the French army, and that SOUL? had been compelled
to place the Italian troops be had with him in the
rear, with a view to prevent them from going over
to the Allies in a body. The French Officers are.
sick of the war, and curse the great NAPOLEON with-
