LONDON. 1828. The Duke of Rovigo, as we observed in our notice ok hisiformer volume, is a staunch un flinching partizan, ready to make every sacrifice, however pair6l, provided he may thereby exalt the character of his idol, Napoleon, He seems to believe in but one model of excellence—th e Emperor of the French. His very weaknesses he converts, by some strange alchemy, into virtues,--anti finds an ingenious intention in his most unmeaning blunders. Thus, in his prema ture abandonment of his army, after the flight from Moscow, which few could imitate with safety who aspired to the heroic character, the Duke of Rovigo discovers that a conspiracy ex isted in Paris, which alone, contrary to his inclina- Lion, brought Napoleon from Russia ; that had he not arrived at that particular crisis, the conspi rator, General Mallet, with his other reckless subordinates, would have done incalculable mis chief. In like manner, the defeats of the French Generals throughout the Peninsula, under Wel lington, are accounted for from the fact of their having run counter to the direction of Buona parte. Had one commander acted at Salamanca, another at Vittoria, precisely as they were ordered by Napoleon, then, adds Savary, the Peninsula would have been safe to this hour. Again, after the battle of Smolensk° the Russians re treated, but with such admirable tact and rapi dity, that the French were unable to overtake them. This has been long hinted at as an error in Napoleon ;' to fight a battle with Ea little caution, as to enable the vanquished to retreat in better order and under better auspices than the victors. Savary aware 'of this, throws the whole blame on Junot, though Napoleon was actively superintending in person ; and after commenting on the orders put forth by him, ob serves, " had these measures been carried into effect, the enemy would infallibly have been de stroyed, and the campaign at once decided." Having alluded to this warp in the Duke of Rovigo's judgment, we cannot refrain from saying a word or two respecting another trait equally characteristic. Next to his idolatry of Napo leon, is his disrelish—we use the gentlest term— of the English Peninsular victories. He per petually hints that they were owing to the jea lousies that divided the French Generals in Spain and Portugal, thereby detracting indi rectly from the military genius of Wellington, who, whatever may be thought of him in the Cabinet, is assuredly first-rate in the camp. " 111-fortune" is the complacent epithet 9ppli9tl by Savary to the French blunders in the Peninsula. " 111-fortune seemed to attach to those who were destined to serve in that couatry. All were impelled by zeal for the Emperor's service; all were ambitions to please him, and to secure his good graced ; and no sooner were the means placed at their command of acquiring glory, and of even obtaining what they had most ardently desired, than they turned their minds to other views. Envy and jealousy had taken up their abode in every breast. A spirit of ri valry prevented those combined movements which would have required the junction of troops formed from the dif ferent corps. In the midst of all their misunderstandings, Wellington was invested with an absolute authority over an army accustomed to submission, which he alternately moved upon one or other of our corps, well aware that be had net to apprehend any impediment from the General whose neighbour he was about to attack. It is clear from the boldness of his movements, that he must have been fully sensible of the power which this ground of security placed in his hands." The reader will not fail to remark the insi dious structure of the above extra c t. A con trast is artfully put forward between the dissen tions of the French and the unanimity of the English camp ; as also between the unlimited authority of Wellington and the crippled power of his opponents, in order that, these points conceded, a very slight residuum, as little in fact as possible, may be left to the ability of the English commander. This is ungenerous and unworthy a mind so capable of friendship and admiration as Savary's. Bating these defects, which verve the cause neither of justice nor Napoleon, we have every reason to express ourselves satisfied with the Duke of Revigo's Memoirs. They abound in anecdote, and give a full and on the whole, we are inclined to believe, a characteristic estimate of Napoleon. In reply to the very prevalent idea that he was gloomy and distrustful, Savary par ticularly alludes to his very candid and cheerf,ki nature, observing with great truth, that it was these attraetive qualities, fqrnore than any genius he possessed, that rendered him the idol of his army, His generosity, too, is dwelt on at some length. Indeed, throughout the volume, he is the one and indivisible" hero of Savary's fancy, an admiration to which none, either of past or present ages, can lay stronger claitrs. Among the desultory extracts f the, present volume—for ne.i,atet: Space nor time will allow of more regular analysis —we give the following; they are amusing, and probably new to, our readers, and will form an agreeable con clusion, WAPOtioN ; s citATERosITY. " The Emperor's kindness, even towards his personal enemies, was always carried to excess. I will cite an stance of it which came under my own observation, and occurred immediately after this a air of tile priesthood. " I was informed :sgt the CO,Ur,lik , of the wint er th a t a fa mily of great distinction in Dresden felt extremely uneasy at the resolution formed by a young man of twenty years of age, connected with it by the ties of relationship, who had suddenly left the University of Halle, or of Leipsie, where he was prosecuting his studies, and had taken his passport for Frankfort on the Maine, from whence he would probably penetrate into France. " I was also informed that this young man was very light-headed, and had quitted the Lutheran creed to em brace the Catkolic religion. " The notice given was short, and the information ex tremely vague. I should have failed to make any discovery, had not one of my agents written by the same courier to apprise me of the passage through that town of a young Saxon named Wondersale, on his way to Paris. He added that the Saxon had taken up at Frankfort a letter of credit upon Paris. " I could plainly see that be distorted the name of the young man, who, according to my calculation, must have been two days in Paris ; and I caueed every search to be made after him by the Prefecture, as well as by the Aliuiatry of Police. " I issued this order on a Sunday morning, at tke hour of ten ; and ordered an application to be made to all the banking-houses which were understood to correspond with Germany, for the names of all those in whose favour they had been directed to open a credit for the last five or six days. " I was immediately furnished with a list of names ; and remarked, amongst the rest, the German name of Von der Sulhn, having a credit for Frankfort of such a date, with the name of the street and hotel where he was to be found. " He was accordingly met at his hotel towards five o'clock in the evening of the same day. Four pair of pis tols and a dagger were discovered in his apartment ; and he bad confessed himself; and received the sacrament. " When he entered my apartment, I was much mere disposed, as I looked at his handsome countenance, to speak to him of balls and amusements than of more serious matters. " I bad, besides, nothing but suspicion to act upon, and wasborced to assume a disguise iu order to get at the truth. I spoke morality to the young man, and forcibly dwelt upon the irreparable disgrace which attended a wicked ac tion, especially when committed by a person of his distin 4iiiebee birth. He coloured, became embarrassed, and with that candour of mind which indicates innocence from guilt, he at last acknowledged what had been his intention in coming to Paris. He had resolved to kill the Emperor, in order, by coupling their names together, to immortalise his own. " It was difficult to carry to greater lengths than this young man had done the readiness to sacrifice one's self in order to commit a criminal action. I made a written report to the Emperor of whatever had preceded and followed the arrest of the young Saxon, whose intentions admitted no longer of any doubt. " The Emperor wrote in the margin of my report, by the hand of bis Secretary---' This affair must be kept con cealed, in order to avoid the necessity of publicly following it up. The young man's age must be his excuse: none are criminal at so early an age, unless regularly trained to crime. In a few years his turn of mind will alter ; and vain would then be the regret of having sacrificed a young madman, and plunged a worthy family into a state of mourning, to which some dishonour would always be at tached. " Confine lain in the castle of Vincennes; have him treated with all the care which his derangement seems to require; give him books to read; let his family be written to, and leave it to time to do the rest. Speak on the sub ject with the Arch-Chancellor, whose advice will be of great assistance to you.' " PAPAL EMPLOYMENT. The Holy Father was very penurious; notwithstand ing that all his wants were amply provided for, he used to count over with great care some dozen pieces of gold which he hard, in his desk, " He kept a strict acrount of his wardrobe, from his pontifical robes to his shirts, stockings, and the most tr►fling articles of his dress. " lie never looked into a book during the whale day; but employed himself in a way which would not be cre dited, had it not been notorious. He patched and stitched up any accidental rents in his gowns, sewed buttons on his small-clothes, and washed the front of his robes to clear them of the stains of snuff, which he took to excess." THE NIGHT WATCH, 2 VOLS. LONDOX, 1925. This is a rambling incoherent sort of work, with little or no attempt at any continuous inte rest, but nevertheless with a sufficient variety of entertainment to render it generally welcome. Why it is called the " Night Watch" we pro fess ourselves wholly at a loss to conjecture. The tales are certainly connected with the sea— a series of desultory maritime sketches—but do not otherwise, as far as we can perceive, bear out the appropriateness of the title. The first story, entitled the " Captain," furnishes us with some good details of the life and customs of a sailor from the period of his entering the service as a Midshipman, down to the time when he is rated as a Post Captain, and allowed unques tionable supremacy over that place of authority the quarter-deck. The inconveniences of his situation as a Midshipman, where lie is perpe tually and incurably subjected to the rough un mannerly gibes and practical jests of his un couth young ship -mates, are very vividly pour trayed, and go far, we think, to realize the notion of' an earthly Pandemonium. As a specimen of the author's manner we give the following sketch of the'battle of Trafalgar. After Southey's magnificent description of that event it will appear somewhat tame ; nevertheless, it is not without its own merit : " Daylight of the 21st of October, 1805 ; displayed the signal for the enemy's fleet.—Let that iy never be for gotten ! The almost calmaeee that weNailed in the morn ing, and harbingered the bat*, seemed but to render the deadly strife more conspicuous. " As the British fleet was wafted by gentle winds to wards their powerful enemy, the preparations for battle evinced every man to be in earnest, " The cabin bulkheads on each deck were cleared away, and displayed long, level, unbroken batteries, tended by their gallant and rejoicing crews. Fire-buckets, match tubs, shot-racks, powder-boxes and wads, were arranged in their proper places; arm-chests lay open, and pikes, pistols, and cutlasses gleamed in every directioz... " The tonipions were taken J 1.4 of the muzzles, and there was a loud creaking vi the gun carriages, as tie officers examined that everything was in fighting order. " All wro now ; the fleets were dosing, " Where was a dead silence till the signal of the Great Patriot —c England expects every mau to do his duty'— flew at the victory's maat-head. Instantly an enthusiastic murmur of approbation spread from ship to ship, from tc, dea, from gun to gun, from man to man. " A few straggling shot hiving through the air indicatc4 the near approach of the fleets, and a loud len&-4,,r, rwn fire of heavy cannon soon showed the lee-tliv,4.,ian breaking the dark concave line of the enemy. 4 Bravo, Collingwood !' was in every heals, anti fiAre was but one common soul in the fleet, "Maoy a valiant heart beat high expactation, which 'was doomed never to surviyo pother day. Many an eye gazed that moment on the instruments of death, which in a few short ho-,tra were to close it for ever. The. pa e .I au to their stations, the battle be cemt general, loud peals of cannon roared throughout the line, tire gleamed on the ocean, and the air was filled with the thick fumes of sulphur. The very masts she* in their sockets, the silt trembled, and the affrighted. wind breathed low. " The stately ships, whic•bi so, late)/ sailed gaily forth, now presented the ti-gletl; appearance of wreck, giving efidenec.of the deadly strife that was at work, till ship grapPTea with ship, And man with man. The day advanced, crash succeeding crash of the falling masts, till amidst the groans of the dying and the loud kuzzas of the victor, the great struggle was decided iu favour of England„ and her flag waved triumphant over the deep—b - 4 her hero had fallen. Nelson, the father of his men, the patriot of his country, was no mo:o. Peace be to his ashes, and honour to his name 1„" The " Boatswain" is a story told, in the first person, by a rough old gunner belonging to one of his Majesty's' frigates. It lets us into the history of hi s amours, which evince all the bl un t characteristic simplicity of the sailor, as well as the numerous adventures, misadventures rather, be encountered, previously to his being able to obtain his present " high" preferment. This story is re lated with considerable powers of humour and knowledge of sea-character, and from its being throughout in the first person, a reality is thrown over it that adds considerably to the effect. The " Doctor," a third tale, displays also great merit; and, indeed, with- the slight draw-back we have hinted, we may confidently recommend the " Night Watch" as a work full of lively, va ried, and innocent entertainment. LORD BYRON AND THE DEAN OF WESTMINSTER. I have just seen that the worthy Dean of 'West minster, in accordance with the tolerant spirit of Florentine bigotry in the 14th century, will not allow Byron's name to pollute the sanctuary of his Abbey, —.I say his, as he and his followers make money by making a raree-show of their sancted Church,--and his it must surely be, when, with unabashed in solence he dares deny a place to the memory of Byron beside the mighty names of the country he too has honoured. Does the " Quarterly Review" Critic forget the Poet's own address te— Ungrateful Florence ! Dante sleep; afar, Like Scipio buried by the upbraiding shore; Thy factions, in their worse than civil war, Proscribed the Bard, who, for ever more Thy chlidren's children would in rain adore With the remorse of ages ; and the crown Which Petrarch's laureate brow supremely wore Upon a far and foreign soil bath grown ; His life, his fame; his grave, tho' rifled—not thine own. Boccaccio to his parent earth bequeathed His dust—and lies, if not her great among, With many a sweet and solemn requiem breathed. No--even his tomb Upborn, must bear the hytena bigot's wrong, And Santa Croce wants their mighty dust, Yet for this want more noted, as of yore The Ca is pageant, shorn of Brutus' bust, Did but of Rome's best son remind her more ; Happier Ravenna! on thy hoary shore, Fortress of falling empire ! honoured sleeps The immortal exile; Arqua, too, her shore Of tuneful relics proudly claims and keeps, While Florence vainly begs her banished dead and weeps. " Shall we but weep"--No, thanks to the strains of Byron, and of Milton, and Addison, and Burns ; and of Hooker, a n d L oc k e , and Paley ; and of Chat ham, Fox, and Canning; and of many and many other glorious names, far deeper graven in our hearts than on the permitted slabs of Westminster Abbey ; there lives a spirit amongst us shall spurn the monkish time-serving insult offered to the brightest genius of modern days, and, in vindication of the wrong, wreathe a brighter crown around his brow. It is well that the dark cloisters of Westminster Abbey are forbidden--he himself has told us, speak ing to his adopted Greece— While kings in dusky darkness hid, Have left behind a nameless pyramid, Thy heroes, tho' the general doom Math swept the column from their tomb, A mightier monument command, The mountains of their native land ; There points the muse to stranger's eye, The graves of those who cannot die. Let us then, in accordance with , his own spirit, place his monument in the open air, free to the public view, there to be seen and to be admired, and to wake a kindred feeling amongst his Countrymen, without the payment of a Westminster admission fee. Surely the Dean's bigotry has overstepped his selfishness.--But enough of this ; let the Cekna mittee, let Mr. Hobhouse, who was hi s friendiA life, now vindicat e hi s judgment, and by proposing a public site and an appropria4 monument, testify the gratitude and admiration of England to the memory of Byron. The Duke of Wellington has too well earned the noble monument erected to him in the Park, not to feel proud at the prospect of having such an as s o c i a t e as B yron beside him. Idere let them stand, the Achilles and Apollo, the greatest Warrior and the greatest Poet of modern days; and then we may thank the liberal Dean for having excluded the one from Westminster, as we sincerely hope the other may long remain without a cause for being carried there. Honour then to Byron, let us bury all angry feelings in his premature grave, and say with him— Peace to Torquato's injured shade—'twes kis In life and death to be the mark where wrong Aimed with her poison'd &news; but to miss.—. Oh victor unsurpassed in modern song ! Each year h,lags forth its millions; but how long The tide of generations shall roll on, ALEI not the whole combined and countless throng, Compose a mind like thine? though all in one, Condensed their scattered rays, they would not form thy sun.
