It was reniatlcal;le, that in his own. :ate he should

blishment placed on the simphst lusiting, intriguing
favourites banished, and older Tani economy intro-
duced in the right place. The Duke inquired mi. I
nutely into every thing—he was alissays accesciHe to
the distressbd—he had a singular mlenuiry, and knew
the history of a very great number n - his staij cts.—
He willingly cov-zersed with his penile ; he sought
opportunities of allowing the Ice..: r omens to commu-
nicate with him ; all were known to hint, hut isc left
every man at lull liberty in hts operations; far very
different tto:n su many other pets) Princes, he never

Frederick William, the son of Charles Ferdinnad,
distinguisned himself in two events, iu the last of
which he fell with glory.
When the depericia!,ce of Europe was scald by
the peace Of ISa-tl, the Duke of Brut:snick Was on
' the Bohemian ttootizrs, in the middle of sullugated
Germany. Disdaining, though it'sras in his power,
40 remain subject to the enemy, he undertook the pas-
sage which seemed hardly possible, through a num-
ber of It‘ttile hands, every one of which was supe-
rior to his own, till he reached the sea, on which he
did not possess a Lingle boat. The adventure became
a great actiovement, from the prodieous efforts
made, and the valour di>played in so many rencoun-
ter., the skill in counter-marching t escape, the dex-
terity in obtain:lig irt.ssels, and the good fortune with
which so difficult an undertaking was crotened.
The evening before his death the Duke of Bruns-
wick and Wellington were at a ball at Brussels. The
Duke, whose whole mind was occupied by the awful-
ness of the crisis, was often absent—he listened and
heard a distant Cannonading. lie communicated the
circumstance, and expressed hinlself afraid .of a Sur-
prise. Wellington did nut entertain any such belief,
• but thought that it.was a salutation on the arrival of
1 thelKing of Prussia at his army. Brunswick repeated
his apprehensions several times. He requested UT-
gently to be permitted to mlrcli out immediately with
a corps, by way of gUardiug against danger. This
was conceded, and he was alloWed to take with him
his Brunswickers and 2,000 Saxons. He immediately
began his march, a considerable time before mid-
night, allowed his troops to rest and march by turns,
and advanced four German miles. Ile tell in all at
once with a very large army of French destined to
fall on Wellington.
He had the good fortune to transmit immediate
intelligence to Wellington, who ,vatted himself of.
the precious hours. The devoted valour with which
the Duke and his warriors for eight long hours oc-
cupied the French; to allow time for the assembling
together of the army—the obstinacy with which he
threw himself with his small and wearied band in the
way of the hostile primp—the loss of nearly three
r boundtt hewsoouars.

We dare to say that the Chamber of Peers owes

speedy because it is important to restrain the indig-
nation which is bursting forth on all sides. You will
not suffer a longer impunity to engender new
scourges, greater, perhaps, than those which we are
endeavouring to escape. The King's Ministers are

&Iced by the Ordonnance of his M4jesty, and which
will be read to you.

According to this Ordonnance, your judiciary
functions will commence from this instant. You owe
to rursclves, Gentlemen, not to give out any opi-
Li-r, at present, for or against the accused. He will
wpear before you at the day and hour which the
Clamber shall fix."

afterviards read to the Chamber :—lst. The judge-

Pleven o'clock, to take cognizance of the procedure
which has been bad against Marshal Ney.
