effects than we mentioned in our last. a
very respectable physician. who returned
from Beiville this morning, Informs US
q az there were no less than fourteen 7Vork-
men in the mill. when the eXplosion took
.place--that every individual Of these four
teen was either killed or severely wounded
that TEN of the number are now dead
and that three &C the remainder are in so
manged situation that no hopes are en-
tertained o. their recovery. The one who
vas least injured was blown through the
roof OF the building, and lodged in the mill
pond. Several Of his ribs are broken, and
ne IS otherwise greatly injured. Seven or
light Of the perse rs, now dead, have LETT
widows and children TO lament this mean-
choly event.
Four other rvor1tmen. in a very Provjden-
tial manner, escaped the destiny Of their
fellow iaborers. One of them, for the first
time in eleven months, had been called a.
way from his daily occupation. The other
three we're preserved in the following man

ter OF war, who addressed her majesty ia
the following words:
Madame,
" New orders from the emperor call ne
before your majesty, to lay vour feer
new trophies taken from the eneny of
France.
Z" At the time when the Saracens were
defeated by Charles Martei, in the plains
OF Tours and poictiers, the capital was a.
dorned with the spoils Of nation only
now, ma3aG. that 40 lesser dangers than
those with which France was then ,hrea,

results. and which were attended with
more difficulty to obtain, your august spouse
lenders you the homage OF these colours.
taken from the three great powers of Ru-
rope.
!" Since an infatuated blindnes, has rails
ed against us so many nations, those even
which France had placed in state Of in.
dependence, and for which she made such
great sacrifices, may it rot be said that
these colours have been conquered frora
when our enemies, listening to no other
counsel but revenge, in spife Of the ordina-
ry rules OF war, determined upon peuetrs-
ting into this empire, leaving behind them
the vast circuit Of strong places which en-
compass them on all sides when they az
temptedby a daring measure, to render
themselves masters Of the capital without
providing the means Of eFectiug heir re-
treat amidst 2 population exaspersted by
their Conduct, how Is il that acquainted as
they are with the genius. talents and char
