ly performed there, in which many of them had a
share. 'The little fortress of Lafere, on the other
hand, is still occupied by the ejlemy, but closely sur-
rounded by our troops, and is so quiet, that we
should know nothing about it did it not thunder
every morning during our morning prayers, to wake
its sleepers; and had it not the civility to wish us
good night every evening by a parting shot. Let
them do so awhile if they still, we are in no hurry,
and they must crime to at last. It is no wonder that
we are well off, and that our troops, who are well
fed, are quite satisfied!, for this departm'nt of the
Aisne is one of the finest in France in many respects.
Corn, wood, grass are excellent, plenty of -vegeta-
bles are found ; and about Lion and Sr. Quentin
large plantatimii of fruit trees. In many places good
heer is made, perry is a common beverage, and wine is
produced on the hills of the Aisne and Marne. In
short it is a fertile country, and !Wog here in all
respects very agreeable.
Only the people who possess and cultivate this
country are every where dirty arid ugly. I have not
yet seen a tolerable face either of man or woman.—
They have almost all eyes sunk deep in the head,
looking gloomily averted, and a banditti-like guilty
appearance. Their features are in general, as it
were, disfigured, aro! deeply furrowed by intrinsic
corruption and vice, and fill one with an uncomfort-
able shuddering, as one feels in a house of correc-
tion, among criminals who have been long confined.
This is the reason why one COMMA feel one's self at
one's ease here. What will be the final fate of this
people, who, like the Prodigal Son in Scripture,
quitted its father with its inheritance, consumed its
substance in debauchery, and at last desired- to eat
from the swisie-trough ? Will it be wholly consum-
ed by hunger, or reflect and lay—Father, I have
sinned in the sight of heaven, and before thee ?
Who knows this, and who will decide? • For who
has discovered the thoughts of the Lord, and who
has been his counsellor ? As for us, till, this bro-
ther, who is now dead, shall return to life, we will
mind the salvation of our own souls; till the ground,
and see that we remain in the father's house.—
(Rhenish Mercury.)

COURIER EXTRAORDINARY.. Wednusany Mori,ll,X.

For some time the report has been seieral times
spread, that the Treaty of Peace with the Allies
`was signed. Since yesterday the report was general,
and we hate the assurance that this good news is well
'founded.
. We are assured that on the Ist of October, the
greater part of the Russian army will hese re-crosed
the frontiers of France.
The Princess of IVAGILAM (Madame Berthier) was
presented to the King yesterday.
The Russian Etat-Major established at Gros Bois,
has set off lo join the army at the Camp of Vertua.
Somme, Phalsbourg, Nancy, and Tool, enjoy
perfect tranyisillity.
' To the fatal dissensions in the South are united in
some places the excesses of religious fanaticism. At
St. Affrique the Protestants had been preciously ar-
rested, when, on the 40th of last month, a troop of
furies burst the gates of the church, pillaged it, and
set it on fire.

FLANDERS' MAIL.

Yesterday we received the Paris Papers of Thurs.
day, and this morning those of Friday last came to
hand. A Flanders Mail also arrived this forenoonovith

It is now allowed that the insurrections in the

about to be struck by the Re►oletlobists in the
