[Front the Plain igtsfeilshatatt.] [The following pages describe the writer . `s firtt introduction to the Ex.Ernperor at Porto Ferrajo, in the island of Elba, in M■y, 1814, shortly after Isis abdication. He had arrived in his Majesty's ship Undarated only a few days before, from Frejus. Th• account is extracted from a short journal kept during that interesting visit :—] Po►to Ferrajn, May 8, 1914. We had scarcely anchored when Captain Usher came on board from the U•dau•ted to welcome our arrival ; and we were soon sarrounded with other boats from the shore. After some hule time spent in mutual inquiries, lie pointed out to ns Napoleon at H distance, untiring himself in • boat, and he left us to antionirce to him who we were. He soon returned iii company with Colonel Niel Campbell, the British Coininis.ioner appointed to attend the Emperor from Fontainebleau, who brought a mes sage from the Es-Emperor, inviting us to visit bum on shore. We landed immediately, and Colonel Campbell accompsnied us iu:the Hotel-de-Ville, which .r for the temporsry'residence of Napoleon. On the way he pointed out to us a house at a little distance, which is fitting is p for his future residence. TO be sure nothing can be more mean and ill-furnished than his present abode. The spartmeot into which we were shown is small, with no other furniture than two or three chairs. Count Bertrand, who still retains the office of Grand blurechal du Palair, received es with much politeness, and prepossessed us with his pleasing ad. dress. We were also introduced to some of the inferior officers df his household. The Count soon quitted us, to announce our arrivul to his Imperial muter, who was writing in • little room within. Out cariosity was now rinsed to a degree of inten sity,. We were separated only by a door from the once vein Napoleon, the boast of France—the 'scourge of Europe! Presently the door opened— 'he entered, and, with a slight bow, came forward to receive us witll mach apparent good humour. The Grated Marechal presented as in form, end he received us very graciously. He inquired as to the length of oar,passage from Genoa, the name sod force of the frigate, and a few other trifling questions, and theta looked towards me as though ready to receive my communication. I then de. livered to him . . [ 1 next prevented to tom a copy of the Convention for the cessation of hostilities, which h.d been signed at Paris, on the MI April, after his depar lure. He read it eagerly, and I watched his coun tenance with great 4curiusity as the several articles passrd under kis eye. During this time his features betrayed considerable motion ; and when lie came to that passage which denoted that the French fron tier war now to be restricted within the limits which existed in 1791, he looked up with at expression of much surprise, repeating " 1791" with great em phasis. He made 110 other commetit sufficiently loud to be audible. While Napoleon was thus oc cupied, of courscevery eye amongst ns was fixed ioteutly upon him. The address and appearance of Bonaparte were certainly attractive, more especially whets viewed Ruder the impressions with which we saw him. He was dressed in a plain uniform of green, faced with red, 'waistcoat and breeches also green, with Hes sian boots and spurs. A silver cross of the Legion of Honour hung at his breast, with another smaller Order. which I could not make out. He is short, and somewhat fat ; bis height, us he stood facing me, apparently not more than five feet five or SIX inches ; his limy black. and cut quite short; rather bald, and wearing no whi•kers. His roaspleziou is • clear brow'', without any colour in the cheeks; but though sallow lois appearance isqoite healthy. He takes much snuff, and moves with quickness. his features are well formed ; and l should call the head sltogetber handsome if it were not too large fur his body, and the neck too short. His general aspect has more an air of bonhomie than I expected. There was a tranquil serenity in his look which exhibited no traces of the anxiety he must have lately suffered. His smile is very pleasiog, and his voice nut disagteeable, except iii . r laugh, which is singularly discordant, almost a . neigh. 1 imagine ins. face mug have been more handsome before he acquired his present emboss. point ; and this also deducts a good deal from tha gracefulness of his figure ; to which, whatever elegance it might 'rote loser possessed, he has now no pretensions. Irian more the appearance of ft. minine softness than of muscular activity. His person in general appeared perfectly cleanly, his hurt white and delicate, and his limbs have that female roundness of form which dues not become a man, and especially r soldier. After some Num-, he renewed the conversation by asking fur news. I gave him all the public in telligence which had reached Genoa preview to my departure, avoiding as much as possible such de. tails as might bring back {Manful recollections. He expressed great settee of Cantina' ()sheer attention to him daring his passage Cons Frejus, as well as sluice his arrival at Porto Verrsjo. I stated that one of our cruisers would be allowed to convey the Prin cess Pauline to Elba. Thisaterned to please him exceedingly. and lie spoke of it with much sense of acknowledgment, shraing guest 'wkly for his sister's recovery, whom he stated to be in very deli cate health, He spoke sidle extreme difficulty of the English language, saying, though he bud at length acquit ed the power of reading it tenthly, he could never overcome the harsh prinitniciatton. I asked him if ie understood it when •puken ; he said, " Only souietinies ;" and bid me speak a lew sentences de liberately. sayong. as I smut oh', " A b ! thin I com prehend *eh enough ;" and immediately gave the interpretation to French ; but lie added, " When you speak wench odor I am soon bewildered—your words are sll confusion sod discord to my ear ;" and ►hook his head, say tog, " Ala fei, c'est rine liangre bar bare." . . . In the culotte of my replies to his iiiquiries con renting the present stated affairs on the Continent, 1 referred more than epee to the peculiar sitinitiou of the Neapolitan territories. and 1 WWI struck with the apparent iudtffereuce with which he hewed the subject, 'veining disincliued to talk of Murat. about whom, independent of relationship, he could nut but really entertaiu much interest, oriageotout of less proximity to Elba. • After this a j os% silence followed, during which be appeared to belost in reverie. He Chen suddenly -recollected himself, and after speaking apart with Colonel Campbell for two or three minutes. he came forward and asked us to dine with him, which of course we accepted, although we had already dispatched our dinner before we entered the port. It was now past sit o'clock; dinner was immediately served in an adjoining room, of somewhat larger (bitten stem, tawdrily fitted up with looking-glasses, &c. and a sort of throne erected at one end of the apartment. The guests consisted of the Austrian Commissioner., Baron Koller. Colonel Camp bell. Captain Tower, Captain Usher, Count Bertrand, General Druuot, and myself. ?heel'''. net was very good. but not in any manner remark. able. The service was of silver, made very light. being • part of his camp equipage. The coffee service was of Sevres China, and the whole was marked with the imperial crown. and the letter N. beneath. 'lmpede ate with a good appetite, almost wholly in silence, while the Grand Mare chal was very attentive to his guests. When the dishes were removed, Napoleon began to talk freely, and put us all at our ease by the mediate, with which he engaged in conversation. Like all other men of eminent ability, his manner was plain and unaf fected. His inquiries were chiefly directed to con tinental intelligence. When I come to speak of Spain, his countenance showed mach surprise on learning than Ferdinand VII. on returning front his long captivity in France. had shown spirit enough to halt at Valencia. with a resolution to re• fuse the acceptance of the new Constitution emu- Wished by the Cortes. As he was accompanied by the Duke of San Carlos, he was doubtless well in formed of the democratic views of the Liberates in that assembly; and I mentioned that General Elio (lately executed), on his arrival at Valencia, had openly declared his resolution to support the King in his prerogative. Napoleon did not seem to have heard even the name of this officer. and asked what I considered the %corral disposition of the troops in the South of Spain. In answer to this I observed, that hitherto the Spanish army had expressed the fullest determination to support the new constitution, but that of course Elio had ascertained the disposition of his own troops before he ventured to take the part of the King. On which Bonaparte ob * that unless Ferdinand secured the army generally, he would bring inevitable destruction upon his own head; that he should conciliate no other class of his subjects ; the masse of the people were not worth his attention; all his river must depend on the troops. This observation was quite consistent with the maxim upon which he himself has uniformly acted, and to Oita alone he owes his extraordinary eleva tion. He never seems to have looked to the people for his support ; and Colonel Campbell told me, that not long since Napoleon explicitly avowed this maxim in answer to the urgent solicitations of his Ministers, when the Allies passed the French froo tiers. Their entreaties were received with his usual obstinacy, and he replied, " 4Von, footsie je see jeraiJost eons st la ootion." He next asked ow what arrangement the Allied Sovereigns deigned fur Beauhainuie (late Viceroy/ of hal)), and if I knew where he then was? Of their ultimate intentions I could say nothing, be yond what was contained in the treaty of abdica tion, by NU article of which they engaged to give him a suitable establishment one of France. I in formed him of the armistice just signed with the Viceroy at Mantes, by General Bellegarde, which had established tranquillity for the present in the North of Italy. The surrender of Genoa did riot seem to surprise him; but I remarked he was very little disposed to talk of airy thing in which Mu. rat's co-operation with Lord Brutinek's forces was at all concerned. 1 found he had heard no particular+ of the battle of Toulouse, nor of the sortie from Bayonne, with which I now acquainted him. He expressed great concern at the unnecessary bloodshed which had en sued, fur want of proper intelligence of the cessa tion of hostilities at Paris. by which all this slaugh ter might have been spared. The Emperor then mentioned, that in his imps. Bence fur some intelligence, lie opened a communi r•ation with Pionebtoo, on the opposite coast, and hoped soon to obtain through thit channel some regular tidings of public occurrences. lie jested with much apparent good.humour about his peeseut humble dominions, comparing them with the em pire he had just lost ; talked of obtaining the +ore seiguty of the little islands oflPiatioaa and Mouse Christo in addition to that of Eller, and seemed pleased to learn from► Csphiiii Tower that there was good water to be found ou both of them. We spoke of the difficulties which occtur.d at Genoa, and others of the Italian ports, in conse quence of the alarm which had been excited by the plague at Malta; and as there was a vessel now in the port just arrived 'front thence 1 said his corn. inonicirtions would he greatly interrupted unless he c.mld furnish me with some written document to authenticate the healthy state of this ibbind. Ho immediately acquiesced in this proposat,"aud di rected General Drouot to prepare the requisite certificate of health. The conversation then turned on the Barbary Stales ; he expr.s•ed great anxiety respecting them, le►t souse attempt should be made upon him by the Tunisian or A lgerine corsairs, in the present weak state of the island. He said that he looked for Ins safely entirely to the pro•ection of the Britoil' cruisers, and hoped that the Undasixted would slut be withdrawn from Elba. _ . 11re sat some time after dinner. though little wins was drank, and scarcely any by Napoleon htou'rlf : ice and coffee were then limed, and snow alter he Inc fmm table end we followed him into the " Audience Chamber" (is I found the nest spars. meat so deflgrillied). Here a circle was formed. and he Renewed the conversation a short lime, say iug eumething so each person, as though he was once more holding his lerce in the Palace of the Tooleries. I took the occasion of some inquiries about our ship, to inform him of my niteinion to quit Elba on in return to Genoa, the next esening, or the fol lowing morning, and requested that I might be allowed to bear any of Ins commiosions for the con. tinent. In return, he 'netted us all to breakfast with him to-morrow morning, saying we must seat leave him till we had seers his dominions. Of course we were delighted with the opportunity of Iteuriug more of hi. conversation. He proposes to employ to-morrow in riding with iss through the island, slid Aulehiog the ria's amusement by dining et Porto Langone, on the oppoiite aide of the island. About vine o'clock he took leave of us, and withdrew to his own apartment, leaving as highly gratified by his gracious behaviour, so unlike the impressions with which we had approached him. It may well b e supposed that all the time he was present, my ob. a-rvation was fixed on every thing he said, and did, and looked, with the deepest attention. It was quite evident to me that his unusual courtesy was as. slanted as necessary policy at this lime, when h e considers our natal force as his principal security against the Barbary corsairs, and . that gene ra ll y h e must feel it to be his interest to Ingratiate himself with these about him, whom he must regard as so many spies en his conduct. The effort of keeping up tins sort of conversation with us. however, was not always successful. H e relapsed now and then into fits of thoughtftilotsr, during winch he occassoloslly lost that singular com. mind of feature which I had heretofore heard de. scribed. In such moments of forgetfulness, his countenance shrwed that leis mind was busily ens gaged elsewhere, in matters of far deeper no west. He avoided with great dexterity all allusion to those wonderful changes which have so lately occur. red in France, referring only to such transacti u were unavoidably mentioned to °basin the itilimna lion he required. It may be supposed that his guests were squally anxious to observe ■ similar forbearance, and this produced some embarrass ment in maintaluing the conversation, and in log replies to his numerous questiotrs. Considering the tremendous plunge which he hat just made front an imperial throne, surrounded with all the pride and splendour of military sovereignty, to the paltry mansion of the Mayor of Porto Ferrajo—that he has suddenly exchanged • crowd of abject Ministers, •ud • guard of Marshals arid Generals, for the company el half a dozen foreigners its an obscure island; when all these violent coo. trams are put together, and contemplated in their full extent, his present self-possession surely affords • powerful proof of the versatility of Isis mind, and the fitmuess of his resolatiou in Wining up against a reverse of fortune so sudden and so complete. Nothing but a latent though sanguine hope of res:or•tiou can account for this extraordi. nary equanimity. To ■ man of his temper and disposition, I can scarcdy conceive any exertion assure irksome thaw this of playing the agreeable to persons like our. ►elves, whom in his heart he must regard with pro. found contempt and dislike; and 1 appieliend that ii British officer, of all others, is the object of his implacable aversion.
