Perhaps it would not be requiring too inuch, if the 100 millions. which besides fall to this rouiitry, were applied to some purpose that would constitute a lasting memorial of the bravery of our armies. anti of the gr &tittle Of the nation.

It is etermitied. in order to make the custody of Buo, naparte douhy stire, to take military possession of the island of Ascension. which is situated 'l'oo leagues north west of St Hel.-na. This m-asure probably arises from its having been recently ascertained that a few years ago, some deserters made their escape in a tishing.boat from st. Helena to Ascension, and from th. lice to India, on board a ship which touched at that island to refresh the crew with the turtle that abound on it's shores. PRIVATE CORRE,PONDENCE. PARIS, D, c. 3, 1815.-1" have at length arrived at this noted city, notwithstauding the inclemency of the season, for we have had some sharp frosts and snow I hate, on more accounts than one, reason to be gratified at having undertaken the journey ; my object was of course to see every thing, and I this morning heard mass celebrated in the King's chapel. which was attended by Louis and all the Royal Family. Nothing could exceed the devotion of the King and the Duchess D'An.,:ouleme, but the Duke de B-- seemed to stare about him a little. On the whole, the . appeared to be eacerdinglv respected ; but the feeling, as faras I could ascertain, was ratner that of sympathy aril 1 1 admiration. i however, is the case only with the better, I mean the more virtuous sort of people ; thuu4h f.ven the canaille often clamour openly trgAinstßonaparte, and load! him with the most opprobrious epitheti. One mun told me he bad no doubt that the cold hearted villain ; Napoleon was inGTSTER. 791 the. AFioleon,' or destroyer, spoken of by St. John, in the Apocalypse. By the bye, I remember reading sometling of the sort alledged against bim, in his first campaigns in Italy. The same person told me, it was generally feared his work Was not yet doge ; that much precaution was n..cessatv, as well on the part of the Allies as on that of the Bourbons, and he ended his speech with a shrug of the shoulders, and a "mais en fin, destine', which made me think he was a sincere believer in what he had been advancing. Notwithstanding the misfortunes that have befallen the nation so lately the state of religion and morality Is daily improving ; nor can I see any reason to be persuaded that the relaxation in that respect is any thing equal to what we had been given to understand. Dr. Poynter, the Catholic Bishop of the Londan district, is expected here every day ; two other prieits of eminence, one of them Mr. Oandolphi, the controversial preacher, is also stayinz here ; they are come it is said, to redeem some church property. There has been a spar in the cabinet emit making pro. Der toilette:. This is truly French. It was observed, you recollect, that the late Governor of Canada found great fault with some of Wellington's troops, that had been transported thither from the Peninsula, because some wore short gaiters, some ton; and some hardly any at all, and wore therefore declared unfit for service; to which the Commanding Officer of the regiment replied, they had just been reviewed by that Noble Duke, and that he had no such apprehension about him. The truth is, the Duke's judgment of a soldier is guided rather by the bone and muscle of the man, than the cut or condition of his clothes; and he perhaps believes that the starsand cordons with whisk conquerors are invytted, are too much matters of course to carry with them any intrinsic importance. Be this as it may, he certainly forgot to put them on the other day, contrary to the etiquette (mind we have no English word for this), and it is equally certain that the King reminded /rim of the circumstance.--Adieu.

The legitimate Sovereign cif France has, as often, under the tection of those armies, been enabted to resume his throne, and to mediate for his people a peace with the Allies, to the marked in dulgence of which neither their conduct to their own monarch nor towards other states, hid given them just pretensions to aspire.
