Nearly opposite to this place, the highest mountains of the Pyrenees are seen, the chain declining in elevation to the right and left. Near the town of Tarbes, upon an elevation com- FRANCE. 291 mantling an almost boundless prospect, stands a monument, erected in honor of the Emperor and Empress Josephine, upon the occasion of their passing this way, about six years ago, to Spain and Portugal. Pro- ceeding through the small towns of Re- bastens and Mirande, we arrived at the city of Auch, a ver...y large, populous, and handsome place. The collegiate church is a magnificent and spacious edifice, adorned beautifully on the outside with fine speci- mens of gothic ornaments highly deserving of notice. The interior is no less splen- didly fitted up, having an excellent organ, accompanied by a very superior choir of singers-. The commune, for the transaction of the public business of the town, is a very elegant building. After halting some time, at the neat lit- tle town of Oimont, and at LTsle en Jour- dain, in the neighbourhood of Toulouse, we arrived at our present cantonments, that have nothing to recommend them but a very fine chateau in which I am quar- tered, belonging to one of Buonaparte's u 2 '292 FRANCE.
