Some soldiers perceiving a peasant partly dressed in military clothes noticed him close enough to observe that his shoulder straps were fastened with buttons stamped with eagles: they immediately seized him, and were in the act of conducting him before the colonel, when the peasant found means of effecting his escape, by abandoning the horse he was riding-an officer of the police who was present, immediately dispatched after the runaway his agents: his name is known, and he will certainly be arrested.
