ed with the strictest and most minute or
ders Mademoiselle Agiee was permitted
to carry nothing with her, beyond what was
merely indispensable during the journey; and
in spite of her age and infirmities the day
after the Generals arrival she set out. On
arriving at Paris, she alighted at house
in the Place du Carousel, opposite the pal
ace of the Tuileries; there she found do
mestics in the livery of Bonaparte, and, IN
short. a completely furnished mansion;
well stocked wardrobe had been prepared
for her, Bonaparte had recollscted even her
fovourite colours, and had omitted nothing
he imagined would give her pleasure; she
had long audience of Napoleon, he assign
ed her, besides house, carriage, and DO
mestics, maintained at his expense, an annu-
al income of six thousand francs. Her PEN
sion notwithstanding the fall OF Napoleon,
continued to be regularly paid her, until her
death, which happened in 1922.


ECHOS.--There are several echos in
the highlands, which, from their powers.
and the number of times which they re-
peat, have attracted much attention among
the curious. From the spot where the ar
tillery is usually planted at West Point, we
have often counted five distinct reverbera-
tions on the discharge of a ield-piece. And
the celebrated echo below the Point, near
the scite of old Fort Washington, repeats
nine times. One of the most distinct echos
that ever we heard is upon the east side of
Ostego lake, occasioned by the peculiar
conformation of the mountain celebrated IN
Cooper's novel, "The Pioneers," as the SUI
bliinest scene of the fire in the woods. The
reverberation is distant, yet SO distinct,
that a whole sentence of ordinary length is
repeated; and the effect of band of music
of tranquil evening upon the bosom of the
lake, is very fine, as it appears like two
bands, ct different times playing the same
time. IN the days of auld lang sine," it was
favourte amusement of the villagers, with
their wives and sweethearts, to enjoy dou-
bc banquet of music in this way, upon the
lake of moonlight evening. But neither
of these echos bear any comparison with


one in the ncighbourhood of Milan. This
echo, as we are informed, has been counted


to repeat the report Of pistol eighty-five
times. And what renders the popularity


still greater, is the fact that some words


in the same sentence are repeated stronger


than others, and do not always regularly


and gradually diminish and die away. This


echo interested Bonaparte very much; he


went several times and used TO discharge


two pistols at once, and always exclaimed


that it was the most extraordinary thing he


ever heard ~. I. com. Dddp.
