A letter is said to have been received il New

guished generals, Lallemand, was at Barcelona
occupied In raising corps of 10000 men, compo
sed OF Frenchmen dsafected to the present govern
ment, who were to be called Les Cheuaiiers de la
Liberte; and in case of War breaking out between
Spain and France, were to march into the latter
country under the tri colored banner, with the OBJ
Ject of exciting an Instruction, driving out the
bourbons, and seating young Napoleon on the
throne of his iather.''
Whether this statement be correct or not, there
is very little doubt but thousands of Frenchmen
would flock TO the standard of one of Napoleon's
generals so circums;anced--and, should the war
proceed, that such a standard will be raised We have

Proridential Escape.-MIDDLEnuRY, YER
MONT MARCH 25.--A Mr. Scarlet, together with
his wife and three small children, were descending
the mountain near the bottle factory in this town
when, on the brink OF frghtful precipice, one OF
his horses stumbled. In recovering, the check rein
caught under the neap of the sleigh, and the team
became unmanageable At this awful moment
Mr.. S. leaped from the sleigh, and had no sooner
caught one horse by the head, than the other was
dangling over the precipice, sustained in the har-
ness by his mate, who still kept his ground. Mrs
S threw out her children, and, the instant she had
cleared herself from the sleigh, the horse which
still remained upon the brink leaped,ofF! The hor'
SECS and sleigh were precipitated torty feet, where
they met with an obstruction by which they were
disengaged from each other, and thence descended
ninety feet! One was killed, but the Other wa;
found alive, and standing, and without any material
fracture. His preservation is said to be owing to
his striking upon a spongy accumulation OF ice and
snow upon the surface oil the river which winds a.
long at the base OF the precipiee This IS said moi
TO be the first hair-breadh escape which has occur
red at the same spot, and deserves the serious al
ten,ion of the owners oil the road.--.Standard.
