Napoleon*s fatnooa expedition into Italy was laid out with reference to the actual existence ol a communication between France and Lumbardy, by the Simplon, and in May, 1800, Gen. Bethen court aet out, at the head of eighteen hundred men, and eight pieces of cannon, to seek a hew route over the Alps. The adventures or this fur loro hope of the Simplon are detailed by Di*jon vil, second in command of the expedition, in a despatch to Berthier, and never was a story mote French or more interesting. . At one place in Ha midst of the mountains, they Lund that the rude bridge over whi^h they had to pass had been swept away by an avalanche. The chasm was sixty feet broad, with perpendicular sides, and s torrent roaring at the bottom; but General Be thencourt only remarked to the men that they were ordered to cross, and cross they most. A volunteer speedily presented himself, who, clambering to the bottom ol the precipice, eyed deliberately the gloomy gulf before him. In vain “the angry spirit of the waters she ieked,” for the veteran—a mountaineer, perhapx, himself— j saw that tire foundations of the bridge, which were n *tt i g more th.n holes in the bed of the torrent to receive ihe extremity * of the poles, which had upported a transverse p.'le above, were still leti, and not many feet under the surface. He ct led to his companions to fasten the end of a coftf to the precipice ubove, and flmg down the rest of the coil to him. With this burden on I.;- -t.I.lu.. U tl.nn alnnr.Mil hlllillv. hut C1U tuuftiy, into the water, fixing his legs in the foun dation holes i'f the bridge. As he sunk deeper and deeper in his progress through the roaring stream, bending up against the cm rent, aud seeming to grapple with it as a human enemy, it may be imagined rh«t the spectacle was viewed with intense interest by his comrades above — Sometimes the boles were far apart, and stri •J :ig from one to toe other, it seemed a miratie that he was noi swept away; sometimes they were too shallow to atf.rd sufficient purchase, and, a- lie Mood swaying and tottering for a mo ment, u mho hered cry burst from the hearts of the spe tutors, converted into a shout of triumph I »r.d ... J i', •« — J— 1J *r -r"*14 foyw t ; .mother step, plunged his body into a tie per ! crevice, and remained steady. Sometimes me holes were too deep, a still greater danger; ai d once or twice there was nothing visible ol the adventurer above the surface but tm arms and head, hi* wild eyes glaring like those of a water demon amidst the spray, and his teeth seen firm ly clenched through the dripping and disorder ly rauatachio. The wind, in the mean tune, in creased every moment, as it swept* moaning, through the cavern; whenever it struck the ni ter, the black water rose with a burst and a shriek. The spirit of human daring at last conquered, and the soldier stood panting on thij opposite pre cipice. What was gained by the exploit? The rope stretched across the chasm, and fastened finnlv no either side, was as good as Water j too bridge to the gallant Frenchmen; Gen. B. himself was the first to follow the volunteei; an.! after him 1000 men, knapsacked, armed and accoutred, swung themselves, one by one, across the abyss, a slender cord, their only support* and an alpine torrent their only footing, lhe terror of the Austiian post may be conceived, when they saw .« thousand men rushing from the Alps by pas«.tee- vhich oature herself had fortified Mill cimngly inaccessible ramparts!
