We doubt not but the fourth volume

of the late insurrection, which must be 
allowed to be interesting in every point 
of view. It wasa novel sight in Eu- 
rope, to behold Bonaparte, the van- 
quisher of so many kings, opposed by a 
handful of peasants, who having taken 
post in their native fastnesses, for a 
tine detied the united forces of France 
and Bavaria. 
“ Mort du Musicien Giroust. 
of Giroust, the French Musician. 
‘This celebrated man died at Versailles. 
in 1798, overwhelmed with years and 
with misery. While young, like the fa- 
mous Thomas, he obtained two prizes, 
Yor two different compositions, each on 
a subject proposed to the candidates. 
During six or seven years, he directed 
the Concert Spirituel at Paris, and was 
also Miusicianto theInnocents, [le was 
at the same time nominated superintend- 
ant of the Music at the Chapei Royal, 
where he continued until the dissolution 
of that establishment. After this he be-

Versailles, and being a zealous friend of 
the revolution, he was coentinuaily em- 
ployed in composing civic songs for the 
Natioal and Decadery Festivals. It 1s 
to him, that the patriots were indebted 
for the song of “ Vous reconnoisons 
sous l’Empire des lois, &c. He also set 
to music, part of the Ode by. Thomas, 
entiled “ Sur le Temps,” as well as the 
most affecting of the passages of his 
« Epitre au Peuple.” 
Notwithstanding these claims, Giroust 
was suttered to live in great mdigence, 
and even became reduced to thé neces 
sity of selling honey and milk to the in- 
habitants of Versailles for a tivelihood. 
When it was too late, he obtained trom 
the Minister of the tlome Department 
the sum of eight hundred franks, but his 
health was now ruined, and his spirits 
fled, in consequence ef the neglect he 
had experienced,
