This anecdote I have heard from a v person who was present, f. • / £ % « Sometime back, Sir H. and Lady D. Mrs. M’CJintock, =<jgfc£ - ,4 Wethera 11, with several other ladsesand gentlen en were introduced tcfhim in the garden, to all of whom he was affable, and they departed highly pleased Wi|h their re ception. When it wak mentioned *to him afterwards, that the ladies were particularly gratified,’ and that they were surprised to find hint’ so different a persoa frpm what he had been repre sented, he* is said to have replied laugh-; ing .I “ suppose I was some strange animnl with two great sticking out of my head.” ~ It has been assorted that h% : has fre quently reviled the memory of Kleber, and evch by some that lie had cauffedis his assassination. .Quite-fthe crontrary would appearTrom the very handsome manner in which he speaks’of htm. *V* time back he expressed -hlmscli (sh |he following manner :—lf lCieb£r? had livt-d, the English neVegwouid have taken Egypt with an army Without’ ca valry and artillery* Ihe Turks Were nothing. ,? “ Klcbcr, KJeber, 51 re peated he, 1 “ was an irreparable loss Francs and to we.—He was a man of the brightest intents, and a General ot the greatest br very.” “ Menom he observed, * was a brave man, but desfi tute of talent.” . - _ The friends and the relatives of th e late lamented Sir J Moore, would pro bably not be displeased to hear the fol lowing tribute of applause paid to ‘Jflif :*nlmoryi by ah enemy Whose capacity ho judge need not be pointed out- — - Moore,!said Napoleon-, ‘was a brave sotdV r s excellent officer, arid a man of talent.

Oh i if we could enjoy that, how happy we should be 1“ ; ‘ It was stated some time back, that Kapoleor/s maitre Wiotci, and otheriiSßp MTsuite had signed a paper, ( pursuant to orders received from England, either to do that or quit St. purpot-. ting their willingness to remain and sub mit to such pestuctions as it might be thought necessary to impose upon them. The following is an abstract from that paper: *« We the undersigned, wishing to remain in the service of the fiknpe* ror Napoleon, consent however dread ful may be the abode of St, Helena, to remalii ’ it submitting ous selves to >uch restrictions, nowever atoitrary and unjust hey may be winch have been iff. posed upon the sEmperor’ the persons m ms service ” “J Re^|wpro Uiat an order had been ts.uedUv the Severn merit fora levy or ballot of srx<y thou- to be embodied as a militia. In the opinienr of some persons, this measure isndopled with a view of le v- themigufar troops at the disposal of the goveriwnet, ior the purpose of send ing them to South America ami to Mex ico, where their services are much nanc ted. Others talk, of an exoerHtion to West Florida m the con tem pt alio iof a war with the United Slates. ‘ m London Aug 7. t The reflections* which we have had occasion to make on the policy of the French government, in reviving and consolidating its military establishment on a grand and c&cl«nt scale are confir med.
