VERSES
On seeing an in/art asleep in its cradle.
SWEET iic thr C ‘.mhcrt, gentle bibe,
And ftx/thing all thy little dr-? is,
Luri Tied ai thy lovely face.
Where dove-likeinnccence allbci-ns.
Safe b.-ncWh thy’ father’s roof,
And preSCng now thy little bed^
With fond uSfeftiou i.urfe can <lra.v
The silky coy ’ring e'er thy head.
Loud howls the wind but not a blalt,
Acrola thy tender frame (hall sweep ;
l;own comes the rain, but not a drop
Shall v. et my Lucy in her Deep.
Long on thy cheek may rofvs bloom,
(If gracious licayen (houldfe permit)
But longer Itill my gentle bread,
Be every virrue’i lovely feat.
From a London Paper.
A HEROINE.
Adelaide Lanc.enois, alias
Sans Gene the female captain
cf Dragoons.
In the month of December,
iSoi, w 1 en, on the way ftom A
vignon to Leons, the Paris dili
gence was joined by a young Jj.
dy, at Momelimar, fht- was han
ded in by an officer of Dragoons,
who, recommendmj her to the
care of the coachman, and to the
civilities of the company, wifh.d
her a plealant journey.
The in fide paffmgrrs now a
mounted to eight in the whoic ;
among them were four young
Lyoncfe, of a lively and gay dis
pt fition, fond ofjokting and
laughing, but upon the whole,
inoffenfive. The new travelling,
companion, the only female o(
th “ parry, was drefled in a brewn
silk gown, neat enough, but her
manner and convetfation did
not correspond wirh her fpmale
apparel ; and, together wiih the
colour of her comj lex on, teem
ed to indicate that she had pafled
more of her time in the tents of
camps, than at the toiler, or in
the drdTing room. Her featuies,
however, were not coarse, nor
her voice rude, but rather fufe.
In fadl, j. was veiy difficult to
know what to make of her
T hole confide rations, cr perhaps,
cui ioficy, made the young Lyo
nefr evince fume inclination to
amuse themfdves at herexpenfe.
hue ihr* interrupted them, by tel
ling llitr was not in an hu
mour to joke, and that if the’
did not conduct rhemklves wirl
that refpeft due to her f x and
per lon, (he would, at the end oi
the ft; it tieut them as they
merited.
When the Diligence ftoppe
to allow the paflengers time r
break foil, flic ordered the driver
to bring her the Portmanteau,
Captam Langenois, her huiband,
had given to his care. H ivin ‘
received it, Ihe went up liars
wuh the chamber-maid, and in
ten minutes, returned, fully ac
Coutred in rhe regimentals of an
officer of Dragoons, with her la
bre by her flue, challenging, in
rather severe expressions, the
tour young Lyoncle to fight her,
• one after another. She, at the
fame time, threw lome papers
Upon the table, faying, “ Read
thtfe, ‘feu bl am hers, and >Oll
will lVe ihat, although a woman,
1 have made levin campaigns,
received nine wound*-, and tna,
at pttjent, after giving tny re
fignatlon, 1 eijoy a pension of
eight hundred livres (34!.) bes
towcti on n e by the firft conlu ,
as a reward for my lirv ces.”
Some ot the other paflengers
interfering, and those who had
unintentionally offended her,
having made an apology, he;
good humour returned, and fl-.e
continued, for the remainder of
the journey, a veiy agree-blc
companion.
As loon as the diligence fe*
off, live favored lor ftllow tra
velers with the following parti
culars of her military life:
Her present hi fband, though
me lon cf a nob*eman, ir. N.jr
mantiy, was, in 179a, obliged to
liner as a volun.ecr; and as
lui h he pafled through Bcfancon,
wncrc Hie was burn. Being Ici-
zed.with a fever in the house of
>er parents, where he had been
billeted, (lie took particular care
cif him, and* mutual affeftion
was soon formed between them.
Her father oppoling htr inclina
ion, she put on men’s clothes,
and joined the 9th regiment of
huflars, in which her lover fer
vcd. She made the campaigns
of 1793 and 1794, in the mari
time Alps; was there wounded
and promoted to a cornetcy,
while her lover dill continued
in the ranks.
Being informed by letters,
that a relation of his was a colo
nel of the 15th regiment of dra
goons, young Langenois, wrote
to him, and was afterwards ad
vanced to the rank of a fob-lieu
tenant. Either from inconstancy
or from other causes, he had
hitherto ncglefted his promise of
marrying her; and,notwithftaid
ing her entreaties, left her to join
his new regiment, then on the
fronteirs of Spain. Thus desert
ed and wretched, in hopes of
meeting with death, she rufhfcd
in r o the enemy’s ranks, in the
fitft engagement, where, after
having her horse fiiot under her,
and received two cuts of a fibre
in her head, she fainted away
from iols of blood, and, at her
recovery, found herfeif a prison
er in an Aultrian hospital. Her
lex being difiovered, she was
trea ed by the enemy wiih great
delicacy, and, as soon as con
valefccnt, exchanged. She the
resigned her com million as an of
ficer of hussars, to enlili as a v >i
un-eer in the regiment o dra
goons, then in Spain, where lieu
tenai t Langenois lerved.
Having heared that fiie ha 1
been killed, he was rroft agreea
bly surprised at her arrival; and
in gratitude for her fidelity, and
f-r her facrifices, not only mar
ried her, but procured her, from
his relation, the fame rank with
himfeif. When the peace with
Spain was concluded, her regi
ment was ordered to join the ar
my of Italy ; wher*, at the bat
he of Lodi, she was wounded in
three plates, and promoted Bo
naparte at a firft Lieutenancy, at
the lame tune that her husband,
who had greatly diltinguifhed
himfeif, wis made a Captain.
Daring the blockade and l'eige

In one o‘ the daily skirmishes,
n the vicinity of ihat city, file
igam had Lei ha fe kt led under

uer by gen. Haddick ; who,
n admira ion of her ,co rage,
presented her a beautiful Hun
gurian hor e of his own, and re
le-tled tier w.thout being exchan
ged. J ,is horse, the g neral of
divili >n Duhem, had the info-
Irnce to put into requisition so
himfeif, during her illness of a
tvver that then raged in the
trench army ; and when, on
her recovery, the claimed it, he
clu ed to reffore it. She sent
‘urn a challenge ; bur, instead of
tigh icg, hr ordered her under
arrrlt tor lubordination. Such
was, however, the regard that
the officers and men had for her,
that in her encounter with the e
eny n. xt day, her horse upon
winch D them rode, was killed
Dv them, which teuiftcd him so
much, that he demanded and

Afcer the peace with Austria,

her husband, to Pans—was in

Bonaparte, who ordered a fabre.

ney. Pickets of the 15th dra
goons were quartered in every
Itation where the Diligence chan
ged horses ; they all spoke of
her courage ; generofiry, and
humanity, with the enthusiasm
of sincerity and gratitude. They
would have narrated many trails
liufirating what they said, but
her modesty prevented them;
they never ceased to exclaim, as
long as fhewas in fight, Oh !
la brave et bonne femme !'*
When at Lvons, she went to
the play, diefied in her regimen
tals. General D jhem was then
governor of that cuy. Owing
her a grudge, he sent his Aid
dc-camp to her box, asking her
how (he dared to appear at the
theatre, without firlt informing
s he governor of her arrival ?
“ Tell your general,’* said she,
“ that I am no longer in fervicei
and that I should be much obli
ged to him, to fettle with me on
| the other fide of Point Morant,
for the horse he hole from me last
rear. 1 hate here*’—-continued
ihe, laying her hand on her fabre
“an infh ument, prrfented me
by the First Coniul, which fiiall
cut the affair (lion:.” As ihe
(poke very loud, her converla
tion was heard ana applauded by
the pit. She was, however, ad
vised to continue he journey for
Brian or* that night k as Duhetn,
as well as Bonaparte, had, during
1793 and 1794, beoione of the
