EDITOR—In the first number of a new musical publication, " the Harmonicon," appears a " Canzonet,7 composed for the work by Mr. Braham ; " 0 very sweet was morning's dawn :" the words of which are stated to be by the late Mr. M. G. Lewis, M. P. The words of, the Song are not given as originally penned and printed : and had they been so, the fame of Mr. M. G. Lewis, although an M. P., would not have been enhanced by them ; I have, however, my doubts whether Mr. Lewis ever read the lines in question ; and I am satisfied that he did not write them, because some twenty years ago—l wrote them myself ; and about September 1807, they were , published, with my initials, as a signa ture, in the Morning Chronick. Now, whatever may be my contempt for the lines—l have none for the writer, and their recent re-appearance is connected with that concerning which no person of proper feelings is at liberty to be indifferent ; I mean my liability to the suspicion of acting so unworthily as to appropriate the effusions of an other man';; mind, and especially of one standing so high in the esteem of the literary world as the author of the Castle Spectre. I am, accordingly, most reluctantly forced before the public in my own vindication ; And , therefore, I request that you will please to give this a place in one of your columns, together with the hapless composition, as it was first written.—l am, Sir, &c. 10, Johnstone Stre e t, B at h, Jan ED WARD MANGIN. . 12, 1823.

EXTRAORDINARY OCCURRENCE.-A short time since two fine rams, which had been bred up to gether, were found dead in a field near Tewkes. bury, lying in a position which left no reason In doubt that they had been fighting, and that, the same violent blow had killed them both ! (Gloucester Journal.) MOST EXTRAORDINARY MISTAKE. On Monday evening, at -eight o'clock, an Inquisition of a very extraordinary nature was held at the Coronation Tavern, Charles -street, Somers Town, before THOMAS STIRLING ' Esq., Coroner, on the body of a yoUng man named John Southey, who expired is a lunatic asylum at Bethnal-green, on the 26th of last month. The CoftoNEn observed, before any evidence was taken, that he, when first informed of this business, scarcely knew whether to grant a warrant for the inquest, as the man was said not to be dead, but in a trance: however, his doubts had since been completely dispelled. To account for the singular proceeding of not interring the deceased for 17 days, but actually keeping him for part of that time in a bed, comfortably wrapped up atatitthes, it would ap pear that his family actually supposed that he was not dead, but entranced : they Consequently refused to have him con signed to the grave. He for a number of years . past was in a lamentable st a t e o f madness, and was placed i n Mrs. War burton's asylum, Bethnal-gre en, where every attention was paid him. The madness with which he was afflicted occasionally caused violent conv u l s i ve attacks of .epilepsy, and in a dread ful attack of thi s ki n d , on the morning of the 26th of last month, lie expired. The directors of the asylum instantly sent to his family, to whose house, in Charles -street, his body was that evening removed. The body was p l ace d on the bed, but certainly it presented not the ashy hue of death ; on the _coatrary, the count enance was composed as if in sleep ; the features were collected, and the face - was overspread with a fine healthy colour; these appearances created considerable surprise, and more so on the following day, when the body was discovered to be rather warm, and , the limbs in a remarkable state of flexibility. The family latently consulted some friends, who, on perceiving that the body presented no change even on the following days,pronoun ced 'their opirians that the deceased was in a tranee,and therefore it would be absolutely inhuman to nail him up in his coffin, or bury him. The family, of course, would do n i e n it t r e r h e o n p d e atnhxatiotuhse ly watched by the bed for some t i me daily, editacy would soon be o ver . I n t h e mean while, the affair became notorious all over the n e i g hb our h oosl; anti some eminent physi. clans andis irgeonsaanong whom were U r. Brooks cret, tax. viewed the baly, but they laughed at t h e extraordinary credu lity of the deceased man's family, and pronounced him dead. This opinioa was confirmed at the latter end of last week by the slow decemposition of the body, putrefaction having taken place. A strange and very vague rumour was then spread through the neighbourhood—nam e ly, that the deceased was entranced, and during that state he was improperly treated by his relatives, who made use of no means to restore him to life, but entered into some understanding with the surgeons, who consequently attended, and not only practised upon the body, but actually opened the.nran's head while he was alive. These false and inconsistent reports produced a very great sensation in the neighbourhood; and the more so, when it was under. stood that the parochial officers and Mr. Stirling had received. anonymous communication& It was then determined on, that an inquest should take place,. and consequently the jury was summoned. Tae room was crowded to excess, several medical and surgical geademen being p resent . The following was the I evidence addaced William Henry Aeret, rag e of Francis -street, Bedford. square, surgeon, stated, he had known the deceased and family for some years, but had not seen him for some rime previous to his death. Ile waiesent for on Thursday, and found him in his coffin, lie examined his body, and found some slight scratches on his neekebut not su ffi c i ent to cause his death. Ile directed that heshourd not be fastened in the coffin, and saw hfin again on-the following day, last Friday, when he examined the body, and found from the abdomen symptoms of putre. faction. On the Previous day he had no 'ilotitt he was dead, but wished to ascertain the cause; and in the presence of se vend surgical geutlemen, the head of deceased was opened. and a considerable effusion of blood on the brain, on examination, was discover e d.. H e h ad no doubt his deat h proceeded from natural causes. Joshua Brooks, Esq., of Bl enheint-stteet. surgeon and lec turer, exsmined.—Stated he had seen the deceased. Having been informed hy Sic George Alderson, that tae man was in a trance, and never having seen any body in that situation, his curiosity was excited, and h e accompanied Sir George and an other gentleman; but the moment he saw the deceased be pro nounced him dead. Ile discovered samptonis of putrefaction h ol e t , the in tlt ly tir a e presence c t 1 3 1 e oefYseesywer7le gentleme n , eeniiietelYil e a x ec a l i d nin examin ed the Fri day ceased's head, and was of opinion, from the appearance of the brain, that he died from the effects of eanguine apoplexy. The' witness more than 'once expressed his surprise at en inquest .being held open the man, whose death was so very natural, Mra Chabot, surgeon, of Clarendon-square, opened de ceased's head by the wish of Mr. Brooks, and was of the mine opinion as to his death ; he had pronounced him dead several days before. The superintendent of 'Airs. Warburton's Lunatic Asylum, Bethnal-green, said, deceased had been in the asylum under his care tor nine years ; he was frequently seized with convul sive fits, and was, during the period they lasted, very furious, He was seized with one of those attacks on the morning of the 261 of last December ; during the struggle, he expired. The CORONER thought no further evidence was needing, and said they could come to no other conclusion on the evidence but that the man died in a fit of apoplexy. The Jury were of this opinion ; and before they retired to view the body, Mr. Brooks requested to know who was to re munerate him for his attendance ? The CORONER said he had no power to give him any thing. Mr. Brooks expressed his surprise at thia t and said it Was acting extremely inconsistently, to summon hint to attend upon a care so very clear, when his duties elsewhere were orso math importance. A Juryman asked him if he did not think the Jurymen were as much entitled to payment as himself; they were called from their business. Mr. Brooks replied, their business Ives not so important as his; he might elsewhere be wanted : besides, there was no necessity to hold an inquiry upon a n an who died a natural death. The Juryman said, that could not he known until the case was fully investigated ; and he was of opinion, that when a ercise of an important public C i l u u r t;, y svaent7re4"esquireubdieddielor the L3i' attendance of a sur geon , h e should obey that mandate, without any exp. -tation of reward. 3lr. Brooks was always willing to give his advice and assist ance to the poor and to the parish paupers gratuitously; and although he did not come for his fee in this case, yet he thought it was most unjustifiable 'to summon him. upon a case which actually was clear to any person who would take the trouble of inquiring ; he thought it so very singtilar that he should be pitched upon. Jones, the summoning officer, observed it was thought ne cessary in consequence of the mysterious reporta , flying about, to hold the inquest, and it was his duty to summon, if not to compel the attendance of the bestevidente. The CORONER interrupted th ,, discussion, by saying he could not award to any witness, and Mr. Brooks retired. The Jury then viewed the be, y, and recorded the verdict— Died of apoplexy. SUICIDE. An Inquest was held yesterday at the Three Colts public , house, Hackney, before T. W. Uxtvix, Esq. Coroner, on the body of Mr. John Varvell, late of 'l'avistock-street, .covent. garden, perf u m er , w h o was f oun d d rowned in the Regent's Canal, with a wound in his throat. Frani the evidence of the Lock keeper, it appeared that the tkceased had cut his throat, and then ,threw himself into the water. Charles Varvell sworn_l am son of the deceased, the de ceased called on m e a b out 11 o ' c l oc k nit Saturday. morning last, and appeared in a dreadful state of mind, he ran about the room like a child, and - said he could not slcep.....d teeaK d h a d lost two old friends about a week ago, which apptared to prey very much upon his mind. The-deceased hadlesitlesi in I avt-, stock-street upwards °fah years, and was 80 years a ag e . Wit ness was perfectly satisfied that the deceased wits in an insa ne " state of mind. The Jury consulted a short time, and returned a verdict, " That the decea se d, b y i n fli ct i ng a wound on his throat, atoll throwing himself into th e water , occasioned his death, an d that. he was at the time in a state of insanity. MEMOIRS OF BUONAPARTE. The following Extracts from NAPOLEON'S ;Memoirs and LAS CASES' Journal of his Conver sations at . St. Helena, may not he unacceptable to our Readers : " The name of BUONAPARTE may be spelt either Bona. parte, or Beonaparte ; as all Italians know._ Napoleon's father always Introduced the u; and his uncle, the Archdeacon Lucien (who survived Napoleon's father, and was a pirent to Napoleon and his brothers,) at the same time, and under the same roof, wrote it Bonaparte. During his youth Napoleon followed the example of his father. On attaining the command of the Army of Italy, he took good care not to alter the orthography, which agreed with the spirit of the language; but, at a later period, and whey amongst the French, he wished to - adopt their ortho graphy and thenceforth wrote his name Buonaparte— At Briars—." Immediately after dinner the Emperor walked in his favourite path. Ile bad his coffee carried down to him in the garden, and he drank it as he walked about. The con versation turned on love. I must have made some very fine and sentimental remarks on this important subject; for the Emperor laughed at what he styled my prattle, and said that he understood none of my romantic verbiage. Then speaking with an air of levity, he wished to Make me believe that he was better acquainted with sensations than sentiments. I made free to remark, that he was trying to be though worse than he was described to be in the authentic but very secret ac counts that were circulated about the palace. And what was said of me ?' resumed he, with an air of gaiety. ' I re plied, it is understood, that when in the summit of your power, you suffered yourself to be enslaved by the chains of love ; that you became a hero of romance. In short, that you conceived an attachment for a lady in humble circumstances; that you wrote her above a dozen love-letters ; and that her power over you prevailed so far as to compel you to dis. guise yourself, and to visit her secretly and alone, at her own residence. In the heart of And how came this to be. known ?' said he, smiling ; 1 which of course amount ed to an admission of the fact. ' And it was doubtless added,' continued he, that that was the most imprudent act of my whole life ; for had my mistress proved treacherous, what might not have been my fate—alone and ditiguised, in the circumstances in which I was placed, 'amidst the snares with which I was sur. rounded ? Nit what more is said of me P- 4 Sire, it is affirm ed that your Majesty's posterity is not confined to the King of Rome. The secret chronicle states that he has two elder bro. there'; one, the offspring of a fair foteigner, whom you loved in a distant country ; the other, the fruit of a connexion nearer at hand, in the bosom of your own capital. Itwas asserted, that both had been conveyed to MalmaiSon, before our depar ture ; the one brought by his mother, and the other introduced by his tutor; and they were described to be the living portraits of their father.' The Emperor laughed much at my informa tion, as he termed it; and being now in a merry vein, he be gan to take a frank retrospect of his early years, relating many of the love-affairs and !timorous adventures in which he had been engaged."------ " After the passage of the 31incio, Napoleon, having con certed all his plans, pursued the enemy in every direction, and entered a castle on the left bank of the river. lie wart troubled with the head-ache, and he used a foot-bath. A large detach ment of the enemy, in great confusion, arrived, having ascend ed the river as far as the castle. Napoleon was there, and only a few persons were' with him: th e sentinel on duty at tit l e gate hail just time to close it, exclaiming, "ro arms I' anti the General' of the Army o f Italy, in the arms of victory, -was compelled to escape through the back gates of the garden with but one boot on. " In the same campaign, Napoleon incurred another immi nent risk :—Wurrnsur, who had been compelled to throw him. self into al antua, and who was debauching suddenly on an open plain, learned from an old woman, that only a tew 1110. talents before his arrival, the French General, with but a few foPoweni, had stopped at her door, and that ho had fled at sight of the Austrians. - Wurrnser immediately dispatclud patties of cavalry in every direction, calculating with certainty on the precious capture: lint,' said the Emperor, ' I must do him this justice—he gave particular orders that I should' nut be killed, or harmed 'in any way.' Fortunately for the young General, his happy star and the swiftness of his horse combined to save " The first time (says Las Cases) I ever saw the Emperor's running hand was at St. Cloud, after the battle of Friedland, when the Empress Josephine amused .hereelf by making us try to decypher a note w h ic h s h e held in her hand, and which seemed to be written in hieroglyphics. It was to the following effect My sons have once more shed a lustre over my ca. reer ; the victory of Friedland will be inscribed in history, beside those of Marengo, Austerlitz, and Jena. You will cause the cannon to be fired (infrres tker mums) ; Carnbaceres will publish the bulletin.' —1 was again favoured with the sight of a note in the Emperor's hand-writing, at the 111110. of the treaty of Tilsit. It contained the following :—"rhe Queen of Prussia is really a charming women, she is fond of eo quetting with me ; but do not be jealous; I am like, a cere cloth, along which every thi ng of this sort &Mee, without pe. netrating it. It wo u ld cant me too dear to pl a y t h e ga llant.'".-.. " The Emperor laughed at what he termed my proaing.— ' What,' said he, cis the advantage of popularity and wain billy of chera ct e r ? Wh o posseaaid thoeequalities in a more eminent degre e t h an t h e unfortunate Louis XVI ? Yet what was his fate ? His life was sacrificed ! A Sovereign must serve his people with dignity, and not make it his chief study to please them. The best mode of winning their love is to secure their welfar e . Nothing is more dangerous than for a Sovereign to flatter his subjects : if they do not afterwarda ob. tain every thing they want, they becoale irritated, and fancy that promises have been broken ; and if they are then resisted, their liatred increases in proportion f 1421 they consider themselves deceived. A Soya reign's - first duty is, doubtless to conform with the wishes • of the people; but what the people say is scarcely ever what they wish: their desires and their wants cannot he learned from ti eir own Mouths so will as they are read in the heart at their prinee.' " The conversistion turned on war end mat commanders. fate , of a battle,' observed the Emperor is the result o f a moment, of a thou g ht ; t h e hostile threes advance With vari oui combinations,. they attack each , other andlight for a certain time; , the critical moment arrives, a memal flash decides, and the least reserve ac c o m pii s h es t h e object.' He spoke of Lutzen, Bautzen, &e. t. and afterwaria, alluding to Waterloci, he said, that had lie followed up the idea of turning the enemy's right, he should easily have succeeded; lie, however, preferred_ piere. ing the centre, and separating the two armies : B u t all was fatal in that engagement ; it. even assumed the appear a n ce o f absurdity ; yet, neverthess, he ought to have gained the vie tory.
