Klns4cj,N,C. l. Mi 9 I FJ 1! . ' B " '' J. , 'J.1U U , From Mis Pardoo's Episodes in French History. Till; CAPTURE OF IVREB. The 'French army was preparing during the campaign of 1800 to meet the Austria a forces under the Arcfiduke Charles in the plains of Italy, and was traversing with al most incredible difficult and perseverance the stupendous lino of the Alps which ex tends from St. Bernard to Nice and Monte notte, encountering hour by hour obstacles so formidable that neither the courage of the troops, the immense resources of the commis sariat, nor the military genius of their lead er, were enabled entirely to overcome them. Nothing daunted, however, by either suf fering or fatigue, they toiled on, as if they already foresaw that the indomitable will of their General-in-Chief was destined to make them masters of Milaji and Turin, to lead them to Genoa, and to dictate hlscwn terms of peace to his haughty rival on the battle field of Mttengo. Within a lew leagues of Milan, in a hoi- low between two hills, and on the left bank rf fit.rifi rtiM, thv at loners rum upon the little town and fortress of Ivree, ture to dilute -their parage even for an in- stint, its fortifications beinc almost nominal, which iney scarcetv anncipaiea woutti ven - and the natureof its position rendering it ira - possible that its garrison could sustain a regular siege. They were, however, in error; cour ageous, wonderfully adroit, and finatically patriotic, the inhabitants of the town, and the troons in the citadel, consisting onlr of ifour thousand men with twenty-five guns, held the place three entire days against an 'J f thirty thousand men commanded by three i me youngest, dui already three or Hhe best generals in Europe? Bernadotte, Makers, and Lannes.

' "Mercy; Mercy!! uo not kill lutn. lie is my husband, and ilie lather of my child." The (epublicaa uiTicer looked down upon her without pityor emotion. . What had he to do with the agonies and the outcries of a ivpman? In a second he had thrust her viofeitly from him ; and tak ing one step forwa l, had fired his pistol at the head of the grayhaired veteran. The discharge o' the weapon was echoed by a cry wrung frorthe very soul ot the un happy wife. - ' 1 , " George, my chi'd-, where are you ? Your mother calls you. , Come." At the well-known voice, a lovely boy, scarcely three years of age, who, as he 6aw his father fall, ha4 toncaled himsell, pile and trembling, beneath that father's bed, ap proached hi mother, and having reached her side buried his face in the folds ot herdres. ar if to shut out the frightful scene around him. But frenzied br desDair. she nlucked "in from nis new hi'ling-place; and leading ; " -i mu nd emotionless as though it had proceeded from lips of stone i f "Coward! Your.work is not yet done.

During, the remainder of this frightful day the young widow continued a prey to the most agonizing' despair After having seen her husband laid in his grave with all the impressive ceremonies of military funeral, the onlortunato woman, who had lost in one hour ifll that she had loved on earth except her child, tell into a perfect state ot apathy ; that apathy alike of soul and body which is not fatigue, which is not terror, which is not madness, but the utter apathy of despair, Not even the tears or caresses of her son, the idol of her maternal heart, could rouse her: she did not hear his voice, she did not feci his kisses upon ber lips, she was uncon scious that his loving arms were clasped about her neck ; she breathed, but that was all ; her inner life was extinct." So long as she had a husband to avenge, child to defend, she had retained strength and courage to speak and to act; but now that tbe assassin ot her husband had under gone the disgrace of a public degradation, while the prompt and fearful retribution of a military tribunal threatened his life, she remembered only the immensity of her loss, the depth of her bereavement and the was consequently more astonished than alarmed when, early on the following morning, a French aide-de-camp came to apprise her that the General-in-Chief desired an inter view with her at the Town Hall, in which he had established hit head-quarters. Without the hesitation of a moment the newly-made widow took her child by the hand, who was pale and feeble from terror and want of rest; and then, lifting him in her arms, she followed the messenger with a firm step, but without having uttered a syl lable, , . Introduced at once into the council-cham ber, she found herself in the midst of all the most celebrated generals of tbe French army those men who were subsequently to ful fill such different destinies who were to gain or to lose thrones; and to leave upon the field of battle, or in the intrigues of courts, or amid political conspiracies, some their honor, and others their heads.

A armtstice, and then a tettlantnt of this deadly ' quarrel by a peaceful separation, i, the onlxj lolutm of the fjcultu whkh;j to the imida of nghsh tlattsmn, and, we may add, the statesmen of other countries, fa tlm matter we may say, without hesita- ' tion, that all Europe i$ unanimous. At the time of the first rupture, when secession and the depth of the feeling that inspired it were little understood, there was in tit ia countr party, and in France and Germany a larger partr, which were indignant Still against the Southern leaders, and cheered on the North to what was considered the easy overthrow of the political conspiracy that had usurped the government of a deluded and bewildered people. " Whatever may be the sympathies of any person, however much he may condemn the institution ef slavery or the principle of se cession, yet he feels that all that is past and ' gone, and that the question is now whether , a war of extermination shall be carried on ' by one community against another. ' ", - " If the Americans had been wjse enough to let the South go freely at the first, it ia ' " quite possible that by this time it would have been seeking re-admittance, for the f Union party was then a reality and not a fic tion, and a re-action against the policy of the secessionist leaders mieht have taken place. Although it is too late to hope for , such a reconciliation, yet the North may even now, by a dignified concession, avoid the terrible sacrifices and the intensity of hatred which a persistence in the war will necessarily produce. - ' Ever 6ince the beginning of this unhap- . py conflict, the crowning victory which was ' to restore the South to Federal supremacy, has always been dancing like a will-o'-the-wisp before the eyes of the Northerners. It has led them through a boundless waste of blood and money; it has caused them to stir up hatreds which a century perhaps trill hardly appease, and it now glimmers before . them as deceptively as ever, while they are . sinking slowly but surely into the slough of . tv-five thousand men, the fourth ot July, 1801, was fixed for 'the termination of the rebellion, which was declared to be reprobat Nv ed by a majority in every State but one. ' " That fourth of July came and went, and at no time since has the fall of the Confederacy been fixed for a later date than three monthly from the time of speaking ; and now another fourth of July is upon us, and the South ii still unbroken in strength and determina- tion. . , , , . All the power of the Fc'kral Government has been put forth ; a deft which no man . accurately knows, but which all suspect to be vastly greater than admitted by the go vernment, ha been contracted; men have been raised by the hundred thousand Eu rope has been put under contribution to fur nish arms and atorcs and all the apparatus of ' conquest; fe? main armies have advanced in the Confederate territory; half a doien exnetiitions have fastened themselves on the coast, and vet the South remains unconqutrcd. ' It is demrtfiftrated that the Federals can on ly cffeit their purpose by a campaign far more gigantic and by an expenditure far more laush than that of the past twelve months. The present result of their Immense ex ertions is that their gunboala control thcv -rest rivers of the continent, with the cities on their banks, and that their armies, besides securing hlontuckr, have military possession of certa.n parts o"f Virginia and Tennessee. i But it may, we tiunK, ne taiu wun vom- n!eia accuracy that in these two aiaici r. , Federals hold only the ground they ftaw, upon.
