FRENCH LANGUAGE.

A GENTLEMAN, who has devoted a
"A considerable part of his time to the
study of foreign languages and the manner IN
which they may be taught with most adyan
tage, is DESTROYS to give Lessons in French,
which, being now considered as a necessary
branch of polite education, he Aatters himself
to meet with sufficient encouragement-and
the method of teaching which he means to
adopt, (being that of Mr.. ". Dl1fe, SO gene
rally approved Of added to strict attention
TO clear and proper pronunciation, will ena-
bic his pupils to acquire the language In
shorter time, than that which has hitherto
been in use-of which little experience will
prove the truth Of his assertion.
AS his family lives a short distance from
Alexandria he Intends to remove to the town
as soon as he finds prospect to defray the
expences of housekeeping, and invites there
fore those who wish to be instructed to make
their applications, the sooner the better, to
Mr.. GENERES, who will give the necessa-

General Order to tie Armu.---Saturday, I'd
3uly, 1909 Tear the 9th.
Since the 10Th of April last, a proclama-
ton of the rebel Potion, indicates great pre-
.pa,ations for an incursion in the saorth, for
the purpose of releasing his accomPlice La
MARE, who is closely shut up at the Mole.
A rising en- m0sse of all the forces Of the
south and of that part of the west which is
in possession of the rebels by numerous re-
QUESTIONS from the youngest to the Oldest,
are marching for this attempt. Monsieur
the president was early apprized of the OBJ
ject of the insurgents, but declined taking
any measures to oppose their designs, least
he should too soon crash their prospects,
he rather preferred permitting them rasliy
to carry on their plot, being we'll assured OF
conquering aid dHsipating them like dast,
as soon as they should openly show them
selves, the event has fully justified his coa-
lectures.
The rebels appeared with all their dispos-
able forces about the middle of June before
Mirebelais, headed by their two perhdious
chiefs Potion and Gurin; and whilst they
threatened to attack Mirebelais, almost the
whole of their forces de6led, under the COM
mand of the brigands David Trois, Lys,
Burdet, &c. under the orders ct David
Trois, they presented themselves in the
quarter of the south, threatening all the
country about Grand Rivierre, and promis-
ed themselves nothing less in their foolish
presumption, than the conquest even OF the
Cape.
Monsieur the President Immediately
caused the troops TO march with two squad
Ions of his horse guards, for the purpose OF
anaihilating the rebels. Such has been their
activity and their ardor, that the rebels had
not time to possess themselves of a single
position they were vigorously attacked,
routed, abandoning their dead and wound
ed on the field of battle. sought their safety
by precipitate Eight. The infamous Da-
via T,ois has paid with his life his numer-
Gus crimes, and has received the Just pun
ishment due to his vaillainy his colleague
Boudet, colonel Of the 18th regiment los,

pursued the remains of the insurgents with
the utmost vigor. Arrived at Banique,
these wretches found the river Artibonite
swelled by their blood; part tried to pass
it by swimming, bur not being able to sue
coed, they thought themselves out OF dan
ger hid along the bank OF the river. JUST
ar this time our army fell on them second
time and dispersed them. The greatest
part Of those who attempted to pass the RI
yer, was carried down by the rapMity OF the
current. A battalion and halt were drown
ed; very few gained the opposite shore'
and precipitately renewed their Hight. AS
soon as the troops could fleet their passage,
they pursued the insurgents, and arrived at
Mirabalais without being able TO overtake
them.
The rebel Lamarre, anxious to profit by
the attempt this gave him an opportunity
of making, made an effort to attack, when
blocked him SO closely; but be was inlme-
diately driven by the bayonet within his
lines, leaving the place covered with dead,
amongst whom was his two aids. de HIM
self abandoned his horse and escaped under
disguise. Behold then to what this famous
expedition is reduced, raised at 3 great ex-
pence and by numerous articles: they boast.
cd that they were about to conquer the
north! Strange blindness! Cannot the nu-
merous losses which rebels have received
teach them the folly and absardlty ct their
attempts! lsit possible that after 80 many
reverses and disasters, these jewellers and
their agents will have the hardwood 10 pub
lish accounts of successes they have never
obtained Is it possible that any man, now
ever partial, can discover a single circum-
stance which has given the smallyst success
to their efforts. We invite the testimony
of all the strangers, as well those who
are established al as those who frequent our
ports, if ever the rebel Peticn or any OF ms
satellites has even in one instance succeeded
in the attacks they have made on US; on the
contrary, they will attest that whenever they
have shewn themselves, they have been pa
nished for their temerity, and have reaped
the iufamy due to their baseness.

put himself at the head of his troops IN Or

the blindness to participate in this attempt

"S.nkng under the load Of business ex-
hausted with excessive fatigue, grieved to
the very heart at the incessant and urgent
wants of the army under his command, and
full of zsal for the cause he SO herolcally
defended. Geners' Rsding breathed his
last this morning, leaving to his cotempora-
ries, examples OF a bravery seldom equalled,
and to posteri,y, name which future ages
will not easily forget, The brother at arms
of SO deserving an officer, my grief mus'

than that of any body Else, as feel his loss
the more severely from my remembering
the many times that attended h'm to tns
field of battle, and my having shared the
laure|s with which he was crowned IN MS
last moments.
Government have resolved to give to the
pubi,c, this euiogy which doss equal honor
20 him upon whom it is bestowed and TO
him who pestows it; until thew have collect
ed the particulars Of the services rendered
to the NATION by the ilustrlous Rednag, and

imitation of which ought TO be the object of

Nay 20.
Itis positive tf,atahe French army of Es-
tramadura has left the banks of the Guordi-
ana, and proceeded to cross the Tagus al
Alcantara. This town was attacked on the
18th instant, by division of from 10 80
$4,000 men, supposed to have been COM
manded by marshal Victor in person. The
town was defended only BY one battalion of
she loyal Lusitanian Legion and the regi-
ment OF militia of ,Iaa,ma nova, with Six
pieces of ordnance, and fifty horse of the
eleventh, the whole under the orders of CO.
lionel Mavne of the said loyal legion, and
making up rather less than eighteen hun
dred men. This brave garrison, which had
already opposed the enemy's progress in
Brossas, where it had It's out posts, sue
ceeded in defending the bridge upwards Of
6honrs and Withdrawing to Rosmaninhal
in the eneny's presence, and in spite of the
great superiority Of their cavalry. 1t is
true, that 1t sustained some loss, but the
wtose OF It's artillery was saved. Maj Grant,
ot the same legion, entitled b.mself to the
highest praise by Misconduct Ia that action,
