But this truly gallant Amazon de clared, that thole who (hould attack these disarmed prisoners rriuft fir It take her life :—nor did (he quit them till (lie had conveyed them 10 prison, and thus (ecured them from every oilier vengeance lave that of the law. The Federifts of the 83 Depart ments, who had witnelled both her braveiy in the attack, and her huina nitj after victory, bellowed upon her a civic crown, as the reward of her virtues.

M. Choudieu thought there was no occaflon for being so soon alarmed. He endeavored to point oijt the im inenfe resources of France, the supe riority of iis forces, and the danger which the enemy would run by pe netrating into the kingdom, as they would Jbe prevented from the possibi lity of returning by the camps of Se dan, Mouzan, Maulde, Maubeuge, &c.

BRUSSELS, August 26 The circumitances which have reached us refpeifting the lurrender of the town of Longwy, add infinite ly to the advantage of this firft luc cefs, fmce it leaves none of those re grets which are commonly insepara ble from vitfrory. The befiegeis, as one may fay, fuffered 110 lo!s, and there were only a few of the laborers wounded. His Excellency Count Clairfayt having on the 2rft, advanced with his army Longwy, eretfed some batteries, which the besieged endeavored to destroy by keeping np a violent fire during the whole of next night, buc their guns having been badly pointed, our batteries wei e opened at the break of day, and a great number of bombs were thrown into the town, which set fire to it in feyeral places, but the besieged fountl means to extinguish the flames.

Before the new fyf tefn, there was 11a peace in Krance whenever money could be extorted hir war ; no law, but that which a corrupt court formed, and corrupt judges admihillered ; and no order, but that of promotion at court, fpr crimes "against the country. What ever the new fy!tem may have done, therefore, it has not overthrown peace, law and order.
