an exception. But he now acknowl-

happened TO him. The ugly logs that
were floating in the Danube broke down
his bridges and forced him to RE-.

MARSHAL LASNES,
LATE DUKE OF aoNrnBELLo.


The curiosity which has been excl
ted by the death of this gallant soldier,
may perhaps receive some small sails
faction, by the following brief accounts
ofhis life.-Marshal Lasnes il is said,
was the son of an inkeeper in the south
of France +; he entered the army as a
private, short time previous TO the rev.
olution but was soon after promoted.
The first official account we have of
him, is, that he was appointed a General
of Brigade, in the army OF Italy in 1875.
At the battle of Lodi, in conjunction
with Massena and others he led the
troops across the bridge in the face OF a
tremendous fire from the Austrian ar
tillery and at the action in the village
Of Arcole, he was carried off the field
coveredwith wounds. Marshal Lasnes
followed the fortunes of Bonaparte
when he undertook his expedition to
Egypt. In this campaign he displayed
his usual intrepidity and was severely
wounded at the assault upon St. Jean
dc Acre. He was one OF the favorite
generals who accompanied Boraparte
when he returned to France. Soon after
his arrival he was appointed to the conn
mand of the van guard Of the army in
Italy, * greatly signalized himself in
the actions which took place previously
to the battle OF Marengo, particularly at
Montsbello, from which he afterwards
derived his title. AT the conclusion
of the war he was sent by the First Con-
sui as ambassador to Portugal, where he
continued several years. In the last
war with Austria, Marshal Lasnes held
distinguished command, and gained
considerabl credit by his conduct, par.
ticularly at the celebrated battle OF Aus
terlitz, where he commanded the left
wing of the French army. His daring
courage, in the late wars, and at the as
sault of Saragossa, are too well known
TO need recital. After many victories,
gained by him in the present war, he re-
ceived mortal wound, at the late action
on the Danube, of which he fingered
till the 3lst of May when he expired.
He had received IS wounds during his
life, and was supposed to be one of the
bravest and most skillul generals that
the world has produced.
