CONDUCT AND CONVERSATION OF THE EX-EM PEROR; ON BOARD THE NORTHUMBERLAND. (From s work of Dr. %Timor u, Surgeon of the Northumberland, Ow published ) During the evening Napoleon addressed his in. quiries to Captain Beatty of the Marines, who speaks French with great fluency. They related to the re gulations and discipline of the marine troops, etc. Sec- Nor could he have chosen an officer who was better qualified t& gratify his military curiosity on the subject which at this time employed it. Captain Batty had served with Sir Sidney Smith in the East, and was 'at the siege of Acre • an event that is not l among Bonaparte's most ple asing recollections.— When, however, he was informed of this circum. stance, he treated it with glut good humour, and seizing thetaptain by the ear, exclaimed in a jocular tone,"" Ab, you rogue, you rogue; were you there ?" He then asked what was become of Sir Sidney Smith : when he was told that the gallant Knight was at this time on the Continent, and had 'submitted a proposition to the Congress at Vienna to destroy the Corsairs on the coast of. Barbary, an instant reply was given, ci That it was, as it bad loag been, most disgraceful to the European ?wen, to permit the existence of such a nest of miscreants."—This opi nion confirms, in some degree, what has been su;. Bested respecting a proposisas that Andreossi is said to have been instructed to make to our Government daring the short peace with Consular France. In this interval of hostilities a notion is entertained that the First Consul proposed a co-operating expedition be ttveen the two powers to destroy, root and branch, the piratical States of Birbary ; on which occasion, as the story goes, he offered to supply the military force; if England would engage to furnish all the naval implements necessary to give effect to an en• terprize so honourable to them both. It such pro positions were actually made, there cap be no dqubt that : sufficient reasons then predominated for hesita ting in the acceptance of them; and the hasty re newal of the war put an end to all further delisa. Lions, if any had ever existed, on the subject. The next inquiries which Napoleon made were respecting the British „Artillery service; they were addressed to the Captain of Artillery on board, whom be found completely qualified to answer the mime. rous questions which he addressed to him. I under stand that his first entrance into the army was in the Artillery Corps, and the subject was consequently the more interesting, and a very few week* only had passed away since be bad fully experienced our Sold tactics in that branch of warfare. He descended into' all the misstate of the service, and inquiredinto the state and discipline of the non-commissioned officers, bombadiers, miners, and privates of every Character. The education of the cadets , was also scrutMsed,and he particularly asked, if they were instructed by pm. fesseraip Mothematics, satural.philosophy, cheenie,l trirs itc. and ia oedee that thee, *light he a Blear understanding as to theapectic tams of art, be cilia) feat, took refuge in Fermi. From that harbour he was peremptorily ordered to sea, according to his original instructions; but, contrary to their most im perative and explicit intent, he steered his course for Cadiz. 66 He might as well," exilairried Napoleon, raising his voice, and increasing 'his impetti .s..ty— eg he might as well have gone to the East Indies." Two days after Villeneuve had quitted his anchotaot before Cadiz, a naval officer arrived t'tere to super. sede him. The glorious victory of Trategar soLn followed, and the French Admiral died a:eby dos, after his arrival in France: report says, by his awn hand. —lt had been a favourite conkrcture in-Several' of the Newspapers, that Bonaparte, who had• tidlitt death in so many forms in the field of battie,.:Sii( whose courage cannot, I should suppose, be liablpto . Suspicion, would, nevertheless, play the coward at , last, and put an end to his life, rather than suffer the' disgrace of being sent a banished man . and a capflva. to St. Helena. The prevalence of such an.opinion reached the ear of the object of it, who calmly re. plied—" No, no I I have not enough of the Roman .. in me to destroy myself." , The subject was continued, in consequence of the incidental mention of Mr. Whitbread's name and • the unhapy termination of his life. That circuits stance, its well as the political. character of Mr. Whit. bread, wit not altogether unknown to .Napolebn.--: After having described him as a faithful and active friend to his country, but who never betrayed ant illiberal or local prejudices against the enemies' *of it, he seemed disposed to attribute the lainentabte event to the moisture of our climate. He was not ignorant of the effects ascribed to our gloomy month. of No. vember, and multiplied Isis questions as to the preva. lence of fogs in our island, and their supposed effects on the physical' system of its inhabitants, so as to produce those hypochondriac disorders and theta/sine vita to which self-destruction is frequency imputed. He reasoned for some time with no commostingenuity on the unexpected topic, and concluded with this d e ., cisive opinion :...e. Suicide is a crime the most revolt. ing to my feelings; nor does anyleason present itself to nay understanding by which it tan be justified: It certainly originates in that species of fear which we denolninate cowardice (liolironerie). For what claim can Opt man have to courage who trembles at the frowns of fortune? True heroism consists in becoming ' superjr to the ills of life, in whatever shapethey tray challft_e_ him to the combat." .14 Dr. Warden says, g 4 Ever since .l bald enjoyed ; Ato , occasional communication with Napoleon, I never . ceased to be animated with a strong and carious de.' sire to learn his opinion of out renown'edComMndir. I had repeatedly beard that he -did 'flat 'withhold it ; but I could never ascertain the fact on any certain authority. The present ntornent appeared to, atkril me the opportunity which I had so anxipiisly sought, 1 as hi seemed to be in a temper of more than usual communication and courtesy, though I have never had reason to complain of either. At all hazards, I therefore resolved to make the trial, as it might'he the only opportunity I should ever possess. The people of England, I said, appear to feel an iiitercst in knowing your sendalects 'respecting the military character of the Duke of Wellington. They have veno doubt that you would be just; and perhaps they may indulge the ezpectation that your justice would pro. .duce an eurogium of which the Duke of Wellington might be proud. Silence ensued : I began to think that I might have gone rather too far ,for it . a Most anti that I bad never before addressed him withnet ,looking full in his face for a reply, but my eyes dropped at the pause, and no reply was made. This, 'however, was the second question I had ever asked which remained a moment (unanswered. At the ranks time, be did nit appear to be in the least displeased, as in a few minutia be renewed the COMMILKIII with an inquiry.'! - . • has the . Press, lint, speedily will published, .
