'l'..te following is an extract of a private letter re-
ceived here, dated Nancy, Nov, 48, 1813:
.. received your letter of the 12th, which tran-
quillised' Me with• regard to your persosat sifety,
almat which 1. was nit L littte alarmed. it was yes-
terday tepaited:'here, that in •ocaer. to prevent the
enemy 'frutiChiteting Hottand, orders had been
given to cut down the dikes. So desperate a step
ha% struck me with horror. :Yettran haves no idea
of all that .is. said Isere--howmmi speak out and
clamour,:not only. Ili private hcescso.,*,but in coffee-
houses,_ inns, the streets, and market-places; country
people mot towtes-people, all are Iced in their cum-
plaints ;. and what not a 514te contributes thereto is,
that we ere now assured of the destructive defeats of
the artoy of which,it is currently reported there are not
sow 804090 men left in a state fur service ; officers
and awn come hack with sticks in owls. hands ; the
,former have no longer any soldiers to command, and
the latter are witt.,not arms.. rout the most horrible
spectacle of all are ine sick and wounded. no hos-
pitals are era* ded with th,m ; they are there lying
upon straw ; about 800 of them have been sent to
Beauccoville, where they are starving like mice. In
short, all that pin see is lamentable. Some who
ate sick than others, are begging alms. on the
highways. They are most of thent young eenstripts,
who look SO pale and mis-shaper, that every one
exerts himself to give them something to eat and to
warm them : but what adds to our misfortunes, we
arc to have 15,000 men quartered upon us, for whom
we most not only find lodging but also food.
