Junot instantly replied in the affirmative; He was accor dingly called out of the ranks to a drum head, and Bonaparte dicta ted his dispatch. While Junot was wiiting, a cannon-ball struck the ground near him, and covered him with dust—•“ That will do,” said the soldier, “ for l wanted some sand for my letter.” “You are a brave fellow,” observed Na poleon, kk what is there I can do tor you ?” “ Have,” replied Ju- | not, these worsted epauletis taken off my shoulders, and re place them with silver.” It was accordingly done, the soldier was , piomoied, afterwards made go- I vernur of Paris, and elevated to I his present tank.

London ; To the. Citizens cf Avgujld. ON Saturday last the Counci had great debates on the necessity ot a Patrol every night, to guard our properly from (ire or robbery, first it vas on the question to re commend to the citizen* in general to incorporate themselves and turn out by rotation, to this l was in favor, because I conceived it was necessary that lx* done lor the protection our pro-f perty N* verthelessl insist upon it ibat if the different companies were to do the it duty, as it is stated in the patrol law that then the City would oc sufficiently guarded.—l pi opose this, that if our companies ui this city would only agree to turn out ten men everv night— there are Jive companies in the city, & I am told, consisting in all, fully 300 diet! ; in that case, it would Gil to the lot ol each man once a , n, °nth—- 1 o ibis l hepy our good cu izens in each company will agree. ; Ihe second debate was proposed by a gentleman in Council, who lias the honor to be a captain of militia, 1 hat we should sign q pe tition to our legislature, praying them to pass an act similar to one passed in 1765, for the town of Savannah, in favor ol the city of Augusta, in respect to patroT, which the gentleman conceived, would then empower all the captains oil districts to command everv oneliv- I ingm their district to do patrol du" ' ty. including Volunteer companies. Although I do not think that the act. puts it iri the power of the cap tain 61 a district to command the ; volunteers ot their district, still 1 was against it, because the patrol i law at present in force, includes all the indicia and volunteer companies 1,1 but each to he com i thl-ir respective cap- j sill’s.
