The events which pass at This time be-
fore our eyes, seem rather the eject of a
theatrical delusion than of reality We can.
not deny that the acts OF he congress have
inspired Napoleon with the idea of tie
possibility of securing himself from the false,
they were preparing him, by endeavour
Ing TO revive the attachment of his old com
rades III arms. He was not ignorant that
the French military we're reduced to a
state OF misery and despair. BY the effect
ot the reductions Which bad taken place,
and the prospect of peace which would
fender their future services useless. He
knew likewise that the Buurbons had neg
iected to make sure 20 them the confidence
ct the numerous class OF new landhGlders,
by respecting their acquisitions, and the
constitutional charter which he had given

GUM is evidently exaggerated. These
troops consist or two battaliCnS OF the
guards, TO which we must add the Esd and
54th regiments, with some weak second
battalons, altogether amounting only to 6
or z thousand men. We have, in truth, to
purchase and 60 pay for the remainder of
our contingent, which is in the whole 10000
men but the troops which ought to com
pose 1t, al re not yet in Belgium. ID.
