THE FIELD OF TOULO'

E-A SKETCH.

" Go nit forth into the Fieht., nor walk by the way, for the
Sword of the enemy ;• fear is titi every side."
Prepl,4;t J'cramith.
Nay, okl Man, go not to the field,
Ull:t4 thy heart's to pity urea ;
I wtiul,l not view that deadly &nee
For all the treasure once in Franca

But now I yearned out to see ,
[(any 'mine there m'ght be :
I pass'd along—all silent ; dead I
They rested on their grassy bet.
Oh! but it was a fearful rght,
To see that fittl in the lonely n'ght;
Just one wild wataring glance I threw,
And clued my eyes to shun the view.

A murm'ring sound stole on my ear,
I: seem'd the sigh of some one near ;
• I call'd, but no reply was given ;
A soul had wing'd its eight to Heaven!
Again, ag.tin, a low strange sound !
'l-was the blast of night as4t swept the ground,
Lifting th:i plumes all bloody and low,
That once wav'd bright on the warrior's brow.
Then Julian came, and we went on,
• In vain—there was no living one;
But many an EngHsh Mother's care,
And many a Lady's love lay there.
• There was one spot, where something bright,
glitering in the pale, moonlight ; •
Qh ! btes.ed Virgin ! who might be
Unmov'd, that mournful sight to see!
• °Twat a warrior. Youth whose golden hair
All lightly wav'd on the dewy air,
• filtnil the moonbeam resting on his face,
G.:me it a sad, unearthly grace.
A broken sword beside him lay,
It faird him on that di sptrate dly
- -

Shimliring he scem'd, but he drew no breath,
His sleep was the heavy sleep' of death.
Nay, go oat, go not, to the field,
• Unless clay heart's to Nature steel'd;"
• For all the treasures once In Francs,
1 would not view that deadly dans. !
Hawarden, May 4, 1814.

ihARTes policy to reward his favourites by matrimonial
alliances with young ladies of fortune. It appears
from several documents published in the Journal des
Delats, that ,in 1810 he had sent circulars to his Pre-
fects of Departments nn the Rhine, requiring them to
transmit lists of the young ladies of family in their dis-
tricts, that they might be enrolled in the " class of
heiresses." This list, or table, of which mention is
Made in the Circular, and respecting which the most
profound secrecy is required by the local Authorities,
is, divided into eight coliseum.: —ln the first, the name
of every Lady is required to be inserted ; second, their
age ;* third, the name of their parents; fourth, their
former possessions and present estate ; fifth, their for
tunes; sixth, the supposed fortune of each of their.
daughters, and their expectauzies ; the seventh, the Ds.
ture and Licality of their property ; and the last culuma
