- FURTHER EXTRACIS RNAL. rnom LAS,CASES JOU PERSONAL RISKS OP NAPOLEON. After the passage of the Mincio, Napoleon, having concerted all his plans, pursued the enemy in every direction, entered a castle on the lift bank of the river. He was troubled with the head-ache, and he used a foot bath. A large detachment of the enemy, in great confusion, art ived, having ascended the river as tar as the castle. Napoleon was there, and only a few persons were with him; the sentinel on duty at' the gate had just time to close it, exclaiming 4g To arms r and the General of the Army of Italy, in the arms of victory, was compelled to escape through the back gates of the garden, with but one boot on. In the .ame campaign, Napoleon incurred another imminent risk. Wurmser, who had been compelled to throw himself into Mantua, and who was debouch ing suddenly on an open plain, learned from an old woman, that only a few moments before his arrival, the French General, with but a few followers, had stopped at her door, and that he had fled at the sight of the Austrians. Wurniser immediately dispatched parties of cavalry in every 'direction, calculating with certainty on the precious capture. 44 But," said the Emperor, " I must do him this justice—he gave par ticular orders that I should not be killed or harmed in any ay." Fortunately for the young General, his happy star and the swiftness of his horse combined to save him. WAR AND GREAT COMMANDERS. " The fate of a battle," observed the Emperor, " is the result of a moment, of a thought: the hostile forces advance with various combinations; they at tack each other, and fight for a certain time; the cri tical m-ment arrives, a mental flash decides, and the least reserve accomplishes the object." He spoke of Lutzen, Bautzen, &c. and afterwards, alluding to Wa terloo, he said, that had he followed up the idea of turning the enemy's right, he should easily have Sue ceeckd ; he, however, preferred piercing the centre, and separating the two armies. But all was fatal in that enagetnent; it even assumed the aprearance.of absurdity ; yet, never theless, he ought to have gained the victory. Never had any of his battles presented less doubt to his mind ; and he was still at a loss to account for what had happened. Grouchy, he said, had lost himself; .ley appeared bewildered, and his countenance sufficiently expressed the remorse he felt for rontainbieau and Lons-le-Saulnier ; Derlon was useless; in short, the Generals were no longer themselves. If, in the evening, he had been aware of Grouchy's position, and could have thrown himself upon it, he might, in the morning, with the help of that fine reser,ye, have repaired his ill success, and, perhaps, even have destroyed the allied forces by one of these miracles, those turns of fot tune which were familiar. to him, and which would have surprised no one. But he knew nothing of Grouchy ; and, besides,, it was n , a ea .y to act with decision amongst the wrecks' of the at.; y. It would be difficult to imagine the con- 1 dition of the Fiend) army on that disastrous night— it was a torrent dislodged from its bed, hurling away everything in its course. TREATMENT AT ST. HELENA. The Emperor, alter dictating to me this morning,' was successively engaged with some Gentlemen,with whom he prolorrged his walk for some time. When they withdrewl tiiliowed him imin the lower path. lie was du!l alifsilent, and his countenance appeared somewhat harsh and ruffled. "Well," said he, as we were eturning to dinner, "we shall have sentinels under our windows at Longwood—they wished to force me to have a foreign officer at my table and in my draWing. room. I cannot mount my horse without being accompanied by an officer; in short,we cannot stir a •tep under pain of being insulted r I replied, that thi, was another drop of sorrow added to the bitter cup we were &mined to drink to his piiStglOry and power, but that his philosophy was sufiici'ent to dly the malice of his enemies, and to make them bliish for their brutality in the facir of the whole world. I ventured to remark that the Spanish Princes at Valencay, and the Pope at Fontainblean, bad never experienced such-treatment. u Certainly not," rt sumed he; " the Princes bunted and gave balls at Valencay, without being physically aware . Of their chains: they experienced respect and courtesy at all bands. Old .King. Charles IV. ;moved ft:OM Coin peigne to Marseilles, and froM Marseilles td tome, whenever he wished. And 'yet fuivr diffeient are those places froth' this! The Pope, at-Fontainebleau, sibaterer may hive been the reports circulated the world, was treated in the same manner." NAPOLEON AND HIS WIVES. To-day, the 19th ' when 1 paid my respects to the Emperor, he shen . id me a libel uoon hitisself, which uad fallen into h is bands, and asked me to translate it. Amidst a m ass of other nonsense, some private litters were mentioned , which were said to hare been addressed by Napaleon tote Eniptess Josephine, under the solemn form of Madinat it Ai. Blouse Alltision was pest made ton ciitabination of silles and agents, by whose aid the Er4ero:r peeped into the pritrate affairs of every family in France, and pene trated the secrets Of all the Cabinets in Europe. The Emperor wished to proceed no farther,and made me lay aside the bOok, saying, " It is too absurd.".— The fact is; that, in his private correspondence, Na poleon always addressed the Empress Josephine very unceremoniously by the pron Min " thou" (tat) ; and " All good little Louisa" thfa bOn»e petite Louise), was the fornt by which he addressed Maria LOnisa. NAPOLEON'S WRITING. The first 'tiirsei ever saw the Emperor's running band was at St. CIOOLI, after the battle of Friedland, when the Empress Josephine amused herself by snaking us try to decipher a note which she held in ter ¶and, and which seemed to be written in biero ktyphics. It was to the following effect—"My sons lave once more shed a lustre over my career ; the iictory of Friedland will be inscribed in history, be sides those of Marengo, Austerlitz, and Jena. You will cause the cannon to be fired (tu ferns firer k canon); Cambaceris will publish the bulletin." I was again favoured with the sight of a note in the,Ertiperor's hand-writing, at the time of the Treaty of Tilsit. It contained the following-44 The Queen of Prussia is really a charming woman. She is fond of coquetting with me; but do not be jealous: I am like a cerecloth, along which everything of this sort slides, without penetrating it. It would cost me too dear to play the gallant." On this subject an anecdote was related in the saloon of Josephine. It was said that die Queen of Prussia one day had a beautiful, MO in her handy' which the Emperor asked her to give to him ? The Queen hesitated for a few momenta; and then pre sented it to him, saying- 4 Why should Iso readily grant what you request, while you remain deaf to all my entreaties ?" She Alluded to the fortress of Magdeburg, which she had earnestly solicited. Such was the nature of the intimacy, and such the conver i sations that were so unblushingly misrepresented in English works of a certain character, where the Em peror was described as an insolent and brutal tyrant, seeking, with the aid of his ferocious Namelukes, to violate the honour of the lovely Queen, under the very eye of her unfortunate husband. _ INSPECTION OF LETTERS. With regard to the inspection of letters under the' Government of Napoleon, whatever may have been publicly said on that subject, the Emperor declared that certainly very few letters were read at the Post offices. Those which were delivered either open or sealed, to private persons, had, for the most part, not been read : to read all would have been an endless task. The system of examining letters was adopted with the view of preventing rather than discoveting, dangerous correspondence. The letters that were really read, exhibited no trace of having been opened, so effectual were the precautions employed. NAPOLEON'S WOUNDS. While he was dressing,.he put his hand on his left thigh, where there was a deep scar. He called my attention to it by laying his finger in it; and; finding that I did not understand what it was, he told me that it was the mark of a bayonet-wound, by which be had nearly lost his limb, at the siege of Toulon. Marchand, who was dressing him, here took the liberty of remarking that the circumstance was well known on board the NorthuMberland, that one of the crew had told him on going on board, that it was an Englishman who first Wounded our Emperor. The I.'mpet or, on this, observed that people had in general wondered and talked a great deal of the sin gular pod fortune which had preserved him, as it were, invulnerable in so many battles. They were mistaken," added be; a the only reason was, that I made a secret of all my dangers." He then related that he bad had three horses killed under him at the siege of Toulon; that he had had several killed and wounded in his campaigns of Italy ; and three or four at the siege of Sr. Jean d'Acre. He added, that he had been wounded several times; that at the battle of Ratisbon, a ball had struck his !Teel ; and at the battle of EAing or ‘Vagram, I cannot say which, a ball had torn his boot and stocking, - and grazed the skin of his left leg. In 1814, be lost .a horse and his hat at ArC6-suraube, or its neighbourhood.. After the battle of Brienne, as he Was returning to head quarters in the evening, in a melancholy and pensive mood, he was suddenly attar ked by some Cossacks, who had passed over the rear of the army; he thrust one of them away, and was obliged to draw his sword in his own defence; several of the Cossacks were killed at his side. But 'what tenders this cir cumstance very extraordinary," said he, 66 is, that it took place near a tree which at that moment caught my eye, I.nd which I recognised as the very tree un der which, when I was but twelve years old, I used to sit duritig play hours and read Jerusalem Deli vered:" Doubtless on that spot Napoleon had been first fired by emotions of glory ! TIIE FRENCH CIIMIACTER. The Emperor, as we were going along, observed, that any one who could have seen us at that time would recognize without difficulty the restlessness and impatience of the French character. "In fact," said he, " none but Fiendimen Would ever think of doing what we are now about." At length we ar rived-, breathless, at the bottom Of the valley. What We had at a distance mistaken for a beaten road proved to be, nothing but a Tittle streamlet, a foOt and a half wide. We proposed to step across it and wait foi our .horses ; but the banks of this little streatolet were very deCiptiVe. They appeared to consist of dry gioUnd, Which at first supported us; but we soon found .ourselves Suddenly sinking, as though we had been breaking thibugh ice. 1 had already sunk aboie my knees, when, by a sudden effort, I disetigaioJ Myself, and turned to assist the Etisperi3r, who had bdth legs hi the mud, and had got his hands on the ground, indeaiouring to ex tricate himself. With a ghat deal of trouble, we. regained the terrafrnia; and I could not help thirk ingof the ttinrshes of Arcola, Which we had been .en gaged in aesdibin g a feW days before, and in which Napoleon had very nearly been lost. The Emperor lodkechit his clothes and said, " Las Cases, this is a dirty acliienjure." A if ire had been lost in the Mud," added he, " What would hiire been said in Europe? The canting hyt'incritei'Wonld have proved beYond a dotibt, that we had been swallowed up for our crimes." CENERoSITY. On his return the Emperor expressed a wish to breakfast under a tree in the garden ; and desired us tp remain with him. During the ride he had men tioned a little present that he intended for us. " It is a *Me, •to be sure," observed he, '4 , but everything mutt be proportioned to circumstances, and to me this is truly the tvidonis mite." He alluded to a monthly stipend which he had determined to settle on each of us. It was to be deducted from an incon• siderable sum which we had contrived to secrete in spite of the vigilance of the English; and this sum was henceforth Napoleon's sole resource. It may well be imagined how precious this trifle had become. I seized the first moment, on finding myself alone with him, to express my opinion on this subject, and to declare my own personal determination to decline his intended bounty. He laughed at this, and as I persisted in my resolution, he said, pinching my ear, " Well, if you don't want it now, keep it for me ; I shall know where to find it when I stand in need of it." SOCIAL PARTY. JANUARY Ist-3d, 1816.—0 n New Year's day we all assembled, about ten o'clock in the morning, to present the compliments of the season to the Emperor. He received us in a few moments. We had more need to offer him wishes than congratulations. The Em peror wished that we should breakfast and spend the whole day together. He observed that we were but a handful in one corner of the world, an/ that all our consolation must be our regard for each other. We all accompanied the Empergr into the garden, whet', he walked about until breakfast was ready. ' • UNIYBRSITY INTELLIGENCE.
