Journal of sin Ald-d-Cnmp of Rocham beau. The Trovldence Journal describes an origlnnl French manuscript, now In pof ession of Mr. O. F. li arris of that city. It Is the journal of a French officer who served under Count d Kochambeau, and bears the following title: "Journal depuls mon depart de Franco 2tf Mars, 1781. josq'au 18 Novembru do la mcme atinco que rarmec aux orders de M. 'e Cte. de Rocham beau est entre dans ses Quariiers d'nlver.'' (Journal since lis departure from France, tho 2iih ot March, 1781, to tho 18th ot Noveuibsr of the same year, of the army under tbe orders of the Com pie de Kochambenu when it went into winter quarter-.) It Is handsomely written and makes a small folio volume ot 116 pae. In It arc nine beautifully executed maps and plans, some of them four feet in length, as follows: 1. Map of the Islttn 1 of Rhode Island; 1, 3, and 4. Maps of the route of Rochambeau'H army from Newport, through liartlord to Ftt-bkill: 6. Camp on tho North river, near Dobb's Ferry, showing tho positions of the French aid American armies; 6. Map of the country north of New York, embracing Fort Washington, Harlem river and the vici nity; 7. Morrisnnla, with portions of the East river and Long Island; 8. Froe's Point and purt ol Long Islitnd; ft. I'lan of West Point; 10. fUu of the H attic of Trenton; 11. Plan of the Siege of New Yoik, 1781. This valuable and interest irg manuscript was in the celebrated Alatson mvffa.s which took place in Paris on the 15ih of January, in 18G8, at which Mr. tfarrta was so fortunate as to socure It against the competi tion of several European libraries and collectors. Alter spendiog a few days in Boston and Cam bilJgettne writer came to Providence, where be found tbe French troops encamped under General Count de Rocbamboau. Hu observa tions about Providence are very brief. He calls it a '"bcautliul little town," with au extensive commerce belore tho war. There Is nothing curious here, he says, but "a hospital ot the greatest beauty." The building alluded to was doubtless the old, or northern, editico of Bro wn University, which, at one period during the Revolutionary war, was used for a hospital. This fine structure, so superior then to all others in 1'rovldence, together with Its beautiful situa tion, no doubt attracted the attention of the Fre nch oflicer. From Providence the French troops com menced their march westward on the 18' h of June. The first day they encamped near Water man's tavern, and toe second day reached Plain field, which tbe writer says occupies "a superb position." This oflicer seems to have an eye to the position of every place he sees, with a view to its detente. The position of Windham he also considers fine. Of Hartford littlo is said; but with Weatherefleld ho was In ecstacles. The houses there were fine, and iu order to see the H adjoining coautry he went up into the steeple ot tbe village church. He says he could see the country for fifty miles around, and declares it to be the most beautiful be had seen in Ame rica. The route from Providence to Flshkill, with each day's march, Is laid down with great precision. The army Fet out in a single division, until they reached Windham, when they formed two divisions, and thus, from eight to ten miles apart, in parallel lines, they marched to the Hudson river. We will not follow the army further. The Jowtutl says: "In addition to the journal there are In the volume tho following interest ing papers: A copy of the capitulation of York town and Gloucester, in which event the French army took part. A letter in relation to the same from General Washington. Journal of the Siege ot Yorktown, by M. de Mcnouville, Aide Major-General. Abstract of the campaign of the naval lorces, under orders of Compte de Grasse, printed by his orders on board the Ville de Puris. Construction of the American army, and notes on tbe Constitution ot the thirteen United State.". Tbe maps and plans are drawn with care, and add greatly to the value of the journal, which was doubtless prepared for General de Rocham beau himself, it is In its original red Moiocco binding, with the edge of the leaves richly gilded. "We learn that there was great competition for it at tbe sale, aud that, besides several orders for tle volume from the United 8utes, the British Museum and other great EuroDcan libraries were comnetitors for it. We think our townsman, Mr. Harris, showed much clack in carrying off the prine against such antagonists. it is to tie noi eu mat lue manu-cript may be printed, accompanied by its maps."
