so little regarded his punishment, that lie
got drunk, and walked about stripped He
has since claimed his discharge as an Amer

England, and received the bounty. But

England now is the only barrier which
opposes this rival Of ancient ALEXANDER,

Unexpectedly. He had but a small force
but advanced with that rapidi'y, that he was
at the Gates Of the City before the govern
ment we're aPprzed of his approach /; and
Immediately demanded admittance-which
was granted. Soon after, Bonaparte order
ed very heavy contribution to be levied
from the citizens, which was vigorously car
ried into execution.
