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 if Genoa, in the of iboo >er regiment belonged to the corps urider the command of vT .nl. Rochambeau, whoattemp ed to t row in fuccourts to Mas- I 11a, the Governor of Genoa. In one o‘ the daily skirmishes, n the vicinity of ihat city, file igam had Lei ha fe kt led under i-r, w-s woun fed and made pri 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 v): tame i the command of ano ther divifiyn. Afcer the peace with Austria, at LuneviHe, she repaired, with her husband, to Pans—was in roduced by general Murat’ to Bonaparte, who ordered a fabre. a> a mark of honor, to be mven ter, which at present entitles her o r umber among the Legion ot honor. Her comm/ffion, cerf hcates, and numerous other pa pers, proved the ‘ruth o* ’ -r afe llrtion, and that fne dii. rafher 4 than exaggerated, y ‘mi litary exploits. Thr - /a? muUi beloved by t l ’,’ ‘ iS evident during • vr wn.jic JC 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 molt ianguine terrorifls and ac c6mplic.es of Robespierre, and he was known to be ai revenge ful as cruel.
