May be said to be perfectly Frenchified.—These ci-devant tri-culotte gentry now "trip it on the light fantastic toe" to the tune of Carmagnole, as merrily as any sans-culotte that ever issued from Paris. The cockade is mounted in every hat, Mynheer feels as happy in complying with Pichegru's requisitions, as if they cost nothing, or he could make a penny by them. Which is saying a great deal. One curious requisition is that of 6000 cats to kill the rats in the magazines of the two Republics.
