(Translated f??r Cltathstoti Courier from the Krcbeh.J I was an ofliccr in the Borride of Bavaria, when in 180(5 I was sent into Tyrol, which Cittno to ho incorporated into that kingdom. My regiment formed part of tlio garrison ol Trout, where I remained until Tire latter part of uiy sojourn hero, was marked by au event of which I shall aver preserve j . the remembrance. The Bavarian dominion was not rcgaide?.l with a favorable eve by the Tyroleans, and our position in the country was not vary agreeable. Tho inhabit ants of Trent aud its environs exhibited towards us an extreme froidour, and if by chance thoy * deigned to notice us, it was only to seek a ijuarrel to allow their extreme aversion. I uoou nut ay that this manner of living became singularly disagreeable to young j ofliccrs greedy of pleasure, and how they ; ^ ve re eiiuuied by tho life of a garrison. So . .mo day after r repast, a liltlo more copious and gay than usual, two or throe of the most adventurous among us, proposed to present ourselves, without being invited, to a soiree which was to be given at a house in llio country, about balf a league from the city. This project was reeeivod with acclamation, and notwithstanding the grave rouioiistianee of some of ihe wise heads of the regiment, it was decided that lite soiree should uo. boii gro mill gro, honored bv tho pi evince <>i live or six young ofliccrs, who. regarded ihumielvoa as the elite of the , corps 01 the light dragoous of his lJavarian Majony. Wo had all abandoned ourselves to a Inistorous joy, which excited in us the idea ^ of placating ourselves at a Tyruloan asseiu ' l?ly. 1 >11 our arrival at the door of thecha loau, the <ioiuc-lie,?>ruck will* surprise, had - * scarcely Imio tn'announce us when wo polio* Iraled wlo ll?a grand saloon, which was tilled with a society as brilliant as wo could havo found even at Munich."lJut what over whelmed us with confusion, was to see tho master of the house approach with an air tho most polite, and begged us to bo seated. Wo wero projrared for anything but a re-1 copliou of this kind; and, as wo pre&oiitod a most pitiable ligtiro, wo Weio too happy that olio among us had tho p'o>otice of mind to extricate us froiu aioli a d Uiculty. He askod pardon with an air of fiankuc.s ?lbi tho indiscretion wo li i 1 commuted, ox ^H*od us on the monotony of our existence ?prayed llio ladies to havo tho g >o I ue- a to intercede f>r us, and succeeded in kills manner to establish between the ?r ho>l of llio elmtivin and ourselves an appearance of cordia.ny. Among Hie great number of ladies tlTore, there was olio who particularly attract. d mo. SJio was very pretty; her sweet and spiritual physiognomy, joined, altogether, with her maimeis, compelled me to give her all my attention; and tho pretty Doro thee repulsed not my advances. livery one appeared con*: ous an 1 :i"rc.i able, with lliu exception of otic individual. "* His name was Kiiscn; his gloomy nir an J shrewd features, more Italian thai Germuu, formed ajitrikiug contrast t the fiank ami j smiling face of TXiuthoe. In truth, it wa> I difficult to imagine that anything could I ovist iu common between two poisons ?o 1 opposite in appearance; T, howevjy ventark-! od that thu inoro my hiini'^irily with Doiotheo increased, the d">rKer hccatuo the siuistor countouauco ot Uuaon. lArruthoo Could not hut oh-.orvc this - > change, when it had become ?o evident as. not to be mistaken, sheappio:iciieti him+ :uid eudeUvored, by a thousand little lialtor, ing arts, to restore his good humor.

'These woids caused mo to examine the two more closely, and what appeared so iuexplicable was, that the unquiet and agita tod maimers of Dorethco seemed more in- j spired by fear than love.

The domestic preceded us with a torch, by the rays of which I saw that the features of tuy companion wore pensive and ubstructed.

At length, breakfast being ready, n i boy was despatched to call him to his meal whon lo! and behold! it war seen that Barnes was buried in tho grave unconscious' ' ly dug by his own hands.

Tho French government, nc- i cording to this authority, has entered into * a contract with a mercantile house at Mar- i seiiles for tho supply of 10,000 blacks I . to Cuudaluupu and Martinique, and this i | contract, it is alleged, has been signed by , the French Minister of Marino and Foreign !

Wo urc in a pretty mess; can got nothing to eat, nor any wine to drink, ex? copt whiskey; and when wo uit down to . 4 Jinner wo nro obliged to keep both handa 1 iruied. While I wrilo this I hold a sword in each hand, and a pistol in the other. I concluded from the beginning lb at this would bo the cud of it, and 1 see I was right; for it is nut half over yet. At proaant, there aro such goings on that everything is at a staud still. I should have answered your letter a fortnight ago, but I did not receive it unlit this morning. Iudeed, icarco a mail arrives without being robbed. No lougor ago than yesterday the coach with tho mail from Dublin was robbed near Ibis town. Tho hags had been judiciously left behind, for fear of accident, and by >*ood luck there was nobody in it but Iwfi uuUido passe Hirers, who hail notl?5n?? Lho thieves to Uko. Last Thursday, notio? was given that a gang of rebels was advancing hero uuder the Froucli standard, hut they had do colors, nor any drums axcept bagpipes. Immediately ornry man la tbo place, la* eluding inou, women snd children, ran out lo meet them. We soon found our forco much too little; wo were too near to think j( rotreating. Death was in every face, but Lo it wo wcut, aud began to bo all alivo agaiu. Fortunately tho rebels had no guns except pistols aud pikes, and as we had plenty of muskets aud ainmuuition, we put them ull to tho sword. Not a soul of them escapod, except some that were drowned In ruljaceut bogs; and in a very short time nothing was hoard but silence. The uaL forms wore all of different colors, bat mostly green. After the action, we went lo rummage a sort of camp which they had left behind them. All wo found was a few pikes without heads, a parcel of empty l?otlies of wator, aud a bundle of French com* missions tilled with Irish namee. Troopa aro now stationed all round the country, which exactly squares with my idea*. I havo ouly time to add that I am in great Uaslo. P. S.?If you do not receive lhla, of courso it must have been miscarried, therefore I beg you will write aud let me liUOW." _ Advehtisiso.?The St Louis Republican, in concluding a congratulatory notice of its pio-perity and success, says of advertising: The truth is, advertising has become a throat featuro in tho business of the country. No merebnnt can better understand this than those who engage in it most extendvoly. Tho prominent advertisement* of our fancy goods dealers, and of our wholesale inerchauts, spread all over these pages, best attest tho estimation in which tuoy hold it. If they can in this way sccurq a readiug by tons of thousands of persona every day, this is just what tliwy want. If they can by so easy a process and so cheap a cost attract huudrods of buyers to their counters ovory day, what matters it to thorn that thoy pay a few dollars for doing it.

As a matter of course, every man in search of a pnrtico- ri| lar object or thing, looks to tho advertising columns of a nowspapor to fjud it; and if there bo any one so stupid as not to road tho.-o columns, lie will never koop up with liii ucigbbors or llio progress of tlio age."
