COPY OF A LETTER FROM GENERAL SAREAEIN TO

HIS UNCLE) /111. TISCHZR) A MEILCUANT IN
Y.EEDS.
•' SIOST IiONOVRED UNCLE,
44 As the letter attributed to Madame Sarrszin
must have alarmed you, I hasten to write toYnn,
in order to tranquilize you with -regard to 'the
fate of my spouse.
44 Previous to my departure from'ticialovst4
took care to make a solid provision:for heksup.,
port, and remitted her a yearn allowance in ad.=
'sauce. I cannot gipe you farther information on

this head at the present moment. •
66 Madame Sarrazin is in possession of
,her fa.
mily property, which .1 never totsched. A well•
furnished house and wardrobe, a number of joy_
els, and other valuables, completely attest the
sincerity of my attentions, and my attachment
for her and my son.
" Bonaparte may confiscate what I. have left,
at Boulogne ; Madame Saunas, I *duce prim;
does not stand its need of it. •
46 I challenge Bonaparte to publish the letters
written to my son. Bonaparte wishes to got that
child within his grasp. This is the object of the
letter, which was either fabricated; or extorted by
the violence of his agents from Madame Satre.
zits, an excellent, but delicate and timid woman*,
66 Bonaparte makes my wife say, that I have;
been deranged these seven years. He represetiek
her as a native of Switzerland, though he per.
fectly well knows that she is au' English woman;
having been bora at Exeter.
" My reply to Bonaparte will not appear until,
the 6th of August, in consequence of a. delay in.
the printing: I shall take care to send you a
copy of it. The followink fact, which is not:
stated in it, will furnish )ou with a key to,the
hatred which Bonaparte bears 'towards me.
" Ten years se, Madame Murat proposed to
sue to do as many otter Generals had duce, who
had dismissed the wives theyhad married in forties]
countries, for the purpose, of 'espousing Fran**
loess s. Tisis. was at spend dinner shelave,, ful+
lowed by a ball. Xecterne Copan, according to,
pub& rancour, Bonaparte's Mistre'si of the Re:
vets, was thbte, teith a number of the Most faset.,
seating of her nymphs. I answered that I was
honest man, and would keep eorwife. On my relays '
from St. Domingo, witithee't was sent only. in-the
expectation that I sbouldithere find my grave, I was
coldly received, and givee-to onderstaad, that the
religion, u well as the decade's of Madame Sari
razin, presented her being received it , Court:.
Madame Murat also refused to receive her. My
spouse-signified a wish to visit her Parents, who
reside In Switzerland ; and Bonaparte having or,
dered me to set off, to take, ;he command in the
Isle of Cadiand...to direct her to join ase, would
have been to sacrifice both her and my sun to a
climate much more pestilential than that of the
Isle of. Walcheren. From that moment I adopted
the resolution to quit the service of Bonaparte,
and formed such arrangemenli as to make their
fate independent of mine. But for *my wishes to
accomplish this object, I should have been in
England upwards of a year ego.
66 What enrages Bonaparte against me is, that
he cannot tell the public that I am a coward, a
plunderer, or a blockhead. My remarks will prove
to him that I sun neither a madntan, nor a bad
husband.
Though my father-in-law, in consequence of
his tosses in trade, has been able to give (ity half
the dowry promised me, lE am not, on that ac-
count, the less faithful to My eugagement,i.
" Neither" icofiay, Aor the desire of richeil
shall ever make' me KO for a divorce.
44 As Bonsilate lattjis tribe opened,
it was requisite that miCurtespontlettee Should, in
ea erYies pec t, bean contlnclals as not only to oc-
casion* no suipicions,
,bet.also to dissipate such as
might be occasioned by malice or indiscretioi. 'I
know that Bonaparte is no less cunning than he is
wicked. I bed to regulate my actions and
my writings accordingly. Be has beau pi,
dupe; and it is the mortification he fee/to:ow
that score, no less than _his fear 'of seeing
himself completely. elpokul, in consequenci of
the knowk-dgik which I- have: had these Meets
years of -ail that has !.cased in the interior of
his 'amity, 'which has been, the cause .of the ridi.
cult:poi reports-he has published respecting me. .
6' Until I can' have the pleasure of seeing yen
and your family, I beg you will accept the ho-
mage of my sincere devotion. .
66 I have the lasnour to be, &e.

A few days ago as the workmen were digging
a cellar adjoining the City of Antwerp Inn,
Dover, they discovered several human bones, and
at length a chalk-stone, which had beed hollowed
out to contain a human head, which appeared to
have been decapitated, as the stone was adapted
to receive the neck part. The skeleton of the head
was nearly perfect when first discovered, the teeth
in the jaws quite perfect; bet after it bad been
wood to the air fur a few boors, it mouldered
away to dug.
