Our men have gained the opposite bank ofthe river. whose waters were fast losing their clearness, for a few moments halted to form ; the air was filled with a hurling shower of lead and iron as the infantry and guns play- ed on the slope over which our men must advance. Then that splendid infantry. in one great rush, precipitat- ed itselfon the foe ; and lbeheld with feelings which I cannot express the Light Division, beating. bounding, teaming, like a bloody surge up the aseent, and in a storm of fire, bright steel, and whirling smoke, charge to- ward the deadly epaulment from whit-h came roar and flash incessantly. And now the wounde come stagger- ing back from the combatâ€"their eyes wild with fire, their faces blackened with smokeâ€"fierce with pain. A man ofthe 30th was the first: he limp- ed along. with his foot dangling from the ankle, supporting himself on his fireluck. ‘- Thank you kindly, sir,” said he, as I gave him a little brandy, the only dropl had left. “Glory be to God. I crippled and wounded some ofthe Russians before they made an example of me, any way.”-â€"(Laugh- ter.) But the gallant Light Division who had left in that desperate advance upwards of one thousand men in the field, were not to win the final honors ofthe day. The enemy. seeing that there was n mere handful of men in- side the Work. got his guns in position on the hills above, and shook our scattered troops by his fire. Then calling in his reserve, he pushed down some four or five thousand men in splendid order from the left, so as to W110 SHALL JUDGE A MAN.

Antiquity has transmitted to sm- ceeding ages many words. both simple and sublime. worthy ofthe deeds of the heroes ofthe time. ln this case, inquiry is of no avail, and we must ac» ccpt all such sayings as truthful tra- .ll' us. All we are able to do is, to examine whether the words attribut- ed to Alexander, Pericles, Cineinnatus or Caesar, are worthy ol'these great “wit; and n we find they could have said so. why. they did say so. But, happily or not for the time of the tnnderns, historical criticism is there less difficult; and it is really curious to inquire whether the words whit-It are attributed to high persons, especi- ally to crowned heads, -ere truly uthrrtrd by them.

The famous Talleyrand, of running mvmnry. had in the evening of that eventful day a rather select party assembled at 'his hotel, and ask- ed the company as a matter ofr‘oursa: “ What did the prince say?" The gene: al anSWer was: " Nothing atall.” " But,” exeiaimed the sly diplomatist, " he must have said something ;” and addressing a “ell-known political writ- er. he continued : "B , you are a wit; go into my closet and make a mat." B went, and came back three limes ; his wil was at fault, and his ideas did not satisfy the company. At last he returned a iomth time, and pronouncad with triumphant emphasis the above mentioned patriotic words ; “ Nothing is changed in France; there is only one Frenchman more."
