At Hanau, strongly fortified town,
the news of the return of Napoleon
was confirmed, and l was closely queS-
toned, and could with difficulty pro-
cure horses, for which l was delayed
three or four hours. During this time
my hosts were very civil and attentive.
They spoke French fluently, and took
great pains to point out to me the
wonders that had been performed by
Napoleon and the remnant of his army
three times they were beaten back
while attempting to cross the river, but
at last succeeded, believe, by fording
the river, the bridge having been
burnt, and obtained possession of the
town. They showed me where their
house had been struck by three cannon
balls during the action, and, although
evident sufferers by these dreadful ex-
ploits, boosted that the French officers
quartered there; a fact of which they
seemed very proud. One of the most
remarkable things attending this jour-
ney; my ears were constantly saluted
with the praises of the French, and
but little of the allied armies.-Mrs.
John Quincy Adams, in Scribner's.
