Besides, I learned that our ci-devant Colonel was on full retreat for Scotland, carrying off poor Julia along with him.
The one he deemed the most successful represented a soldier dressed in the three-cornered hat, blue coat with red facings, yellow breeches and black gaiters of the Volunteer, seated on a big drum, his feet on a pile of cannon-balls and his musket between his knees. It was the citizen of hearts replacing the ci-devant knave of hearts.
This project was therefore relinquished for the time; but a number of the children of the principal ci-devant German nobles, who, by the Treaty of Luneville and Ratisbon, had become subjects of Bonaparte, were, by the advice of Talleyrand, offered places in French Prytanees, where the Emperor promised to take care of their future advancement.

At the medical school of Paris are held the meetings of the It was instituted for the purpose of continuing the labours of the ci-devant Royal Society of Medicine and the old Academy of Surgery.
This phenomenon, the cause of which has been so often explained, must be common to all buildings constructed in this manner. In speaking of the Champ de Mars, I mentioned that LALANDE obtained the construction of an Observatory at the ci-devant Ecole Militaire.
