The successive rains during the last month caused a great
deal of sickness among the troops encamped round Paris.
The symptoms have been principally those of scarletina, but
in their progress they assumed a more serious character, as
out of 15 men of the 15th regiment taken into the hospital at
Charonne. four died on the day they were received, and two
the following morning.

A YORKSHIRE FRIEND.—I may he allowed to particula-
rise the kindness of Mr. Mullins, the senior member of the
circuit, who grasped me warmly by the hand, and offered me,
as a mark of his esteem, to swap horses with me on the spur
of the moment. It was very old, and slightly lame in one
leg, but the friendliness of his feelings was made equally ma-
nifest by the offer as if I had accepted it, which, however, I
declined doing, as I was unwilling to deprive. him of the ser-
vices of so long tried a favourite. Mr. Mullins is a native of
Yorkshire, and retains a considerable share of the accent of
that beautiful county.—The Northern Circuit, from Black-
wood's Magazine.

THE CHANCES OP WAR : THREE BRITISH MARAU-
DERS SAVE A FRENCH ARMY FROM CAPTURE.—SouIt,
after this disastrous defeat, continued his retreat on the day
following, with all possible expedition up the valleys of the
Lanz and Guy; but he was now in a most hazardous situa-
tion ; his troops were all worn out with excessive toil; his
fighting men were reduced to thirty-tive thousand ; Foy,
with eight thousand whom he had rallied, was retiring up
the Guy towards Zubiri, entirely separated from the main
body, which was slanting down towards the Bidassoa ; and
the baggage, artillery, and caissons could scarcely be hoped
to be preserved, while recrossing the rugged summits of the
Pyrenees. Graham, with twenty thousand, was ready t°
stop him on the side of St. Sebastian ; and it was only by
an extraordinary exertion of skill and coolness that his arms
in these circumstances, was preserved from total ruin. - He
directed his retreat, not by the valley of Bastan towards tu_.!
