OF the wound, and tells his wife that he is

OF acute pain, nothing escapes him that is
merely personal to himself His mind. on
the contrary, seemed to be wholly absorbed
| IN the issue OF the great contest in which he
had SO anxiously wished to bear an useful
and honorable part. He earnestly entreats
her not to credit the reports which would
not fail to be propagated, of defeats and dis
asters sustained by the allies. He assures
her that there is no foundation for such re-
ports, but quite otherwise for every thing
had hitherto gone on well on the side of the
allies Near the conclusion of this letter,
he makes some allusion to the long persecu
ten and unrelen,ing enmity wlIsch he has
met with from Bonaparte, whom he repre-
sents as having crossed him in all his pur
suits. The beginning Of this letter is written
IN his own hand but the concluding part of
