Marshal Grouchy the two generals Lallemand, generals Vandamrae, Lakanal Peniera, Gamier de Saintes, ' ount Real, Sec Stc. are at the head of this enter prize. All these distinguished men have the means of doing much good. Never was a project set on foot under better auspices, or entered into as we Learn with more ardour and a fuller determination to make a fair experiment to show what Frenchmen can do M T am astonished" said a Capitalist of Philadelphia to Generals Clauzel k Desnouettes, 'that such as you Who 'avc money at command, should undertake such a Don Quixote expedition, v ten by taking your stand in the Exchange, you would get 20 per cent, for your money without trouble " " We have been accustomed," replied General C auzel l to labor for the glory and hap
