A few days ago a lady happened to have just received
the sum of 1,200 banes. Passing by the Jardin des
Placates, she stopped some time to admire the tricks of
the bear Martin. A very amiable young man was in-
stantly very eager to give her all sorts of explanations
respecting the bear, his education, and his history.
lihnitly, however, the lady being sufficiently instructed
in natural history, thought of retiring; and it was then
that the di-covered that the amiable Cicerone had eased
her of the 1,200 francsos-Paris Paper.
A leter from Toulon says—. 4 The expedition will be
much more considerable than was at first supposed,
and it is said that thirty regiments will be embarked.
The vessels La Duchesse de B Ili, Le Finisterre, L'Oise,
and La Caravan, have received many troops on board ;
and the Didon was hardly out of the arsenal when
soldiers were put gin board of her. The Armide is ready.
but it is thought that she cannot be in the roads till
the 12th of September. The Cuirassier has sailed foe
Marseilles to escort some of the transports."
Maasan.Las, Auo. 81.—A number of Officers of all
descriptions have lately passed through this city con-
nected with the expedition; and the son of Marshal
Soult has ju.t set off for Toulon to embark with Gene-
ral Schneider. Large purchases of salt provisions and
biscuit continue to be made. We begin to feel a great
scarc.ty of :colors, for all that we could possibly mu t-r
have been embarked, and we are now forced to g we
higher wages. We are in daily expectation of ore ar-
rival of the steam-boat which was bought in England
on accouut of the Greeks, and the coals and other
necessary articles have been got ready for it. The bri-
gade of General Schneider is expected to sail very soon,
and it will be followed by a number of transports laden
with ammunition, provisions, iv. The gendarmerie
has arrested a great number of sailors who had deserted.
