HOLLAND....-.LIBEL.---A Commissary of Police
at the Hague, picked up in a public coach a pager,
which seems to have been dropped out of the pocket
of a passenger who was there before him.
It was a Dutch libel, containing good wishes
for the enemy, and abuse of France.
This coach had conveyed some conscripts and
some guards of the company of reserve.
" Search is making to discover which among them
dropped this paper."

64 I -am going to celebrate a Te Dews for our vic-
tories. We are in a dreadful state of anxiety. The
wounded are coming in. Our Marshal Ondinot has
been beaten. I wish the Emperor knew bow much
they are disheartened in the interior. I will not con-
ceal it : I am too faithful a servant to wish to pay
my court by falsehoods. I will, however, put a good
face upon it ; and, as long as I do or can remain at
my post, I will serve conscientiously, without start-
ing trifling obstacles, which, when pushed to the far
Chest, never produce any national benefit.
44 I pray to GOD most heartily for the Emperor.
I entreat him to protect, to enlighten him, and to
pus a stop to.this frightful mass of calamities ; such
as neve'', at any known period of history, pressed at
one time upon so vast an event of country before."

ANECDOTES OF LITERATURE AND SOCIETY.
" Paris, Etth September.

44 M. Bertin, who in the reign of Louis XVI. was
a personage of great consideration, or, to speak more
correctly, a real power, is no more. This ancient
Sovereign of the empire of fashion, she who for a
long time ornamented,' according to the suggestions
of her own caprice, the heads of the women, and was
the cause of deranging the affairs of so many fami-
lies, could not come to her end without some. circum-
stances bordering on the marvellous. On the third
Sunday of the Wes at St. Cloud, she macle one
among the immense multitude of spectators assem-
bled_ to behold the Empress. Certain recollections
crowded upon her memory, and her lively emotion
bathed her cheeks in tears. Her head became giddy
and heated with visions. She was brought back to
her house, where she was seized with a violent fever.
In her delirium, she incessantly repeated, " 1 have
seen the Queen again—l have seen my benefactress
once again. ,Nothing remains for me now but to
die." On the Thursday she gave up her last breath.
Her name, which was toe a long time associated with
the ridiculous, wilihe rendered•honourable by grafi.
tude. At Brussels, this wvJwtta, whose fimune was
reduced to enormous bills, which nobody thought of
paying, had a funeral service performed for the Queen
at a great expense. How many of those who attend.
ed at it had cause to blush, at seeing themselves an.
ticipated by a milliner in this testimony of sorrow.
