LILLE, MIX Is.

Count Bournsont entered our city yesterday amidst
the acclamations of the people, who were frantic
with joy at returning under the government of the
King. At the first moment it was not possible to
'preserve from the rage of the people sonic
duals, notorious as Jacobins or Bonapartists. They
have had to support the first consequencts of the po-
pular fury. Their houses were surrounded by a
crowd, and the windows all broken ;- in short, they
were molested in all kinds of ways.

troops sallied from Metz. and suddeßly attacked the
Prussian troops, who though taken by iurprise, de-

by numbers, they were forced to fall bu'k. Towards
evening some fugitives, wowided, and ,baggage, ar-
rived here. An alarm being spread In the city, two
battalions of militia took their arms, and asked to
march against the enemy.

the Prussians, the French were repulsed on all sides,
and our troops resumed the positions which they
had for a moment abandoned before Longwy.

MR AR mr.

The regiments lately arrived from Canada, which
were ordered to Irelat.d, have been countermanded.
A General Order has been circulated thretelicsit
the Army during the present month, enclosiog the
PRINCE ltrox.vr's PrOclaniation,by which all soldier's
serving for a lithited period, are directed to be re-
tained for a further term of three years, after the ex-
piration of such pea iod.
It may be useful to many'of our Readers to be in-
formed that etiqu.ate requires that all yfijal letterk
to the Commander-in:Chief should have on their en-
velope five et cetera:, thus, &c. &e. &e. &c &c.
Lord MUSKERRY is arrived in Limerick, and oft
Thursday assumed the command Of his It egiMene,
the County of Limerick Militia.
Our Readers will recollect thai two French *eaglet
were taken it the ntlmorable battle of Waterloo.
The name of the brave captor of one of them is
FRANCIS STILES, then a corporal, now a serjearit in
Captain Pout's troop of the First Royal Dragoons.
We shall be happy to reeord the name of the gallont
captor of the other eagle, if any of our military
readets will haire the goodness to furnish us with it.
The Public have already admired the noble sim-
plicity and heroic tenderness of the Duke of W EL.
L11401'011% letter to Lord AIIERDtEN. His genertliis
consolation has soothed the roofings of others Who
have lost relations on the glorious day of Waterloo,
especially when the Officers who fell had long been
so near to him, that he coild
.observe their virtue,
and fully estimate their loss. Tile Duke has written
a letter with his own hand to .Mrs. Catalano, the
mother of that brave Officer, in %elicit he offers the
only consolation which the heart can On such an ioc-
casion receive—theassurance of the sense entertained
by the great Commander of Colonel CANNING'S Vir-
tues and services, and of the esteem and tegtet of '
the most distinguished Officers whose dingere and
glories he had shared. • •
~ Sir HENRY Etaas, of the 23d or Welch 14'Osileeri,
who clos.ld an illustrious career on the Plaint of WA...
terloo, was an officer young in years, lint Old in
honours, and who e military acqhirements justly en-
titled him to look forward to the highest rahk (f hie
profession. His services in the West Indies, Hollaild,
Egyir, the Peninsula, and France,/ can only be ap-
preciated by those whose greatest pride is to have*
been under his command. Six times severely wound.-
ed, he terminated a life devoted to his Coontry,' at
the head of a mist distinguished corps, in !Wei he
had passed through every gradation, and to whose
high reputation he had larlely contributed. Beloved
and respected by his o:ficers —adored and reirared
by his men, the name of Itaus•will long live-in'the
grateful remembrance elf his regiment.. ' Deeillfte:
grotted in civil as in htilitary • life, his hatife Ay;
Worcester, has to lament her brightest ornamerte.----
Although his rank precludes him from a Mtn:bal.:A
in Westminster Abbey, the gimple Tablet erected by
his brother Officers, and consecrated by their aff,c-
tion, will be the fairest Tomb to the Memory of so
inestimable a character.

The field library carried by Bona Matt with hint
during the last campaign, and taken on the 19th
Jute, at Charleroi, consisted of the following works :
'1 he Bible, Homer, Manon Lestaut, Boisuet, -Ls Pueelle,
the' History of Henry IV. the Conspiracy of Menai, La Patie,
(poem by Denny), the Anarchy of Poland, La Fontidoe's I ales,
History of the Progress and Doentfill df the RoMan Pepuhtts,
Don Quisotte, Treaties of Peace by Martens, Gil Ws., Me-
morial of the Revolution 'Devil upon Two Sticks, the Revolu-
tion of Corsica, the Antuteinents of Spa.
So confident was BONAPARTI of Success A the ever-
' memorable battle of Waterloo, that late even as
six eclock in the evening, he was heard to declare
that he shotild that night certainly sleep at Brussels :
but Pholarne propon, mai: Dies &pots. Situated on
his temporaty platform, erected of wood, and so ele-
vated that lie could see around him-to the ettent of
thirty miles or more, BONAPARTM first heard of the
approach of troops on his left. Satisfied, hoivever,
that they were his expected reinforcements; he gave
no heed to the repeated declarations of his Generals.
that they were the Prussians. He was at length ti•
du:ed to direct an Aid-de-camp to node: through ii,s
glass the colours, and ascertaining them to be really
Ptussian, BosataitTa, in theattmost tage, exclaimed,
se Then all is lost : let every one take care of himself."
Upon which he left the platform, Mounted hii horse,
and scampered off.
The expression in Hot:APAR-ries letter to the Pima:
Resenr, 16 tos'amoir :ur les fern." coming to seat
himself at the hearth, is singularly happy and cha-
racteristic—bespeaking that characteristic hospitality
which was anciently accorded by the heathens to
those who placed themselves under favour of the
household goddess Vesta, whose more particular sta-
tion was the hearth. This retuge not only gave a
tide to personal security, like the sanctuaries in ti 6
-middle ages of Christianity, but alio established a
claire' to hospitality and protection. There is a fine
exemplifieatibn of this ancient custom in Stinet4
SPURS% Tragedy of Corielabus; but the Roman
Chieftain seeks and finds the protte.tioa in a fofin
More appropriate to his character under the 'tattle of
ire God of War, in the hall of his Volecian iitalt
Tonmos Ammo.
