ARTILLERY.

Capt. Batt.. in his work. entitled
=. Campaign of the left wing of tho
Allied Army in the Western Pyre-
nees and South of France relates
the following instances Of the accura-
cy in firing by the French Artillery
men:
whenever the troops were Disco
vered by the enemy from the citadel,
they were immediately fred upon /;
and it was found expedient to place
even the sentinels in such situations
that they might be able to guard their
posts without exposing their persons.
1t frequently occurred that they were
shot whilst imprudently, or inadver-
tentiy. stepping from behind the walls
& hedges which had concealed them
Strict orders were given not to re,
turn the fire of the enemy, as partial
eRrag ,men;s of ssch a srt would be
always much more advantageous to
the bleckading force, prior tn the ar
rival of their battering train. than to
the French, securely posted as they
were in so strong a work as the Cita-
del. Occasional instances occurred
which showed the extreme accuracy
of the French artilIerymea in point.
inc their cannon; ana afforded the
most convincing proofs of the ALSO
lutte necessity of keeping OR senti-
nels in places where they could not
be discovered; and where, through
holes pierced for that purpose in the
garden walls, or through the hedges,
they could observe the enemy's move
ments, without unnecessary expo
sure. A soldier of The German Le-
gion had been posted at the angle of
a large house, with directions to look
round the corner from time to time,
but On no account to remain exposed.
Unfortunately. he placed one leg be-
yond the angle of the building, and
in a moment afterwards it was car
ried Of by a cannon shot. This
| might have been accidental bot a
second and third instance immediate

| was not 80. A soldier of the Light
Infantry. belonging to those stationed
at St. Bernard, under the command
of Lord Saltoun, was posted behind a
breastwork dug across the road
which leads from the suburb of St.
Etienne towards Boucaut, not far
from the bank of the Adour. This
road was looked down upon from the
citadel, and was guarded with ex-
IRENE jealousy by the enemy. The
! soldier was desired occasionally to

ways to conceal himself again as
quickly as possible he, however,
had the rashness to stand boldly up
right upon it, and was instantaneous
ly killed by cannon ball, which Ii
terally cut him in two.
| "A similar instance OF their accu-
racy in firing, occurred on the esd
February, when Col. Maitland's bril-
gade took shelter behind the sand
hills on the borders of the marsh in
front of the entrenehed camp. A

FASHION.

We have Dcan several times NOR
titled and dissusted OF late, by the
coarse tests which have found their
way into many of the newspapers,
respecting a certain article OF dress
adopted 10y the ladies. With the
Portsmouth Journal, We think there
is something very graceful in the
present fashion among ladies', OF
wearing a simple sash or belt round
the waist. 1t sets of handsome
shape To much advantage, and does
something TO paliiate the defects of an
ungracefai one. But then (says fhe
ediior) the material Of which it is
made should be proper one; We
cannot abide a leather strap. Who,
on reading llomer's beautiful des-
cripIInn D. me zone vi Venus, would
think on a harse bette
-- from hsr fragrant breast the zone IN.

The kind deceit, che still reviving fire,
Pers ,a,iye speech, and more persuasive signs,
Silence that spoke, and eioqusnce OF eyes.
Now, with all possible Difference.
we beg leave to dissent from this
Wholesale condemnation of the mo
rocco belts that are worn. 10 our eyes
they are at once simple and beauti-
ful. And what is more, they are
substantial and economical. And
BESIDES, there is no justice ia the
counar,son instituted between the
simple morocco giIdle and the zone
of Venus, as mentioned by the poet.

upon ancient customs, however,
which has grievously annoyed u.s.

ia do away as sson as possible. we
allude to the fashion Of drawing or

fashion, in our view. that We ever
saw. If one meets lady, whose

ward or backwards, until ne looks
