The Bill for this line is now in progress through 14 atil, 4n e t i" ; and, with the already existing lines, and others recona t) the Board of Trade, will form a continuous chain of ,I ),soiteliounication from Aberdeen to _London, in connexion with pa) rerth, Edinburgh, Glasgow, and the important towns .of li&Caalorkg the lino. The Report of the Board of Trade on Rad 711s,,rounication in Scotlaad, and which has been laid before Z s te t ,'"crit, states that " the Aberdeen line southward is a proper 011eL eess arY part of a system of railway communication for the 0111, - ,; Portion of Scotland ; that this line appears to be well laid out, i k e 'vr to the objects which it has to attain ; and that the Inver ra,it hi increased by the consideration that a cheap and easy q,_ * -ated "sing a district of considerable population and local traffic, 0114 the have been surveyed from Aberdeen to Inverness. Should ii to th e ease, it seems not improbable that railway con.imuttica -411 , More northern counties may be extended in this direction." t.., Mtge dance with the views thus indicated in the report from evity u of Trade, it has now been resolved to extend the means of stltirineMontunication northward from Aberdeen to Inverness.

The levity of her conduct, t3ler t. husband in the mo s t un f avoura bl e colotirOttii, en re- 'Zi‘•:?Z.4/,,N turned from Egypt, tilled him with anger. - Ho had " i t:4 ." , thaights of separating himself from a wife.whom, right or wrong, he believed to be culpable. She wept a long . ; * tune at his feet ; her two children, Hortense and Eugene Beauharnais, both very dear to General Bonaparte, wept too ; he was overcome, and yielded to a conjugal ten derness which, for many years, was with him paramount to policy. He forgot the real or alleged faults of Jos6phine ; he loved her still, but not as in the early period of their union. The unbounded extravagance, the vexatious imprudences, in which she daily indulged, frequently excited in her husband gusts of impatience which he could not repress ; but he forgave her with the kindness which prosperity inspires, and could not long be angry with a woman who had shared the first moments of his nascent greatness, and who, from the day of their union, seemed to have brought Fortune along with her. Madame Bonaparte was altogether a woman of the ane len 74inie, devout, super,titious, nay, a royalist, de testing what she called the Jacobins, who hated her in return ; seeking only the society of the ancient nobility, who, returning in throngs, as we have said, used to visit her in the morning. They had known her the wife of an honourable man, pretty high in rank and military standing, the unfortunate Beauharnais, who died on the revolutionary scaffold ; they found her the wife of a pa, venu, but of a parvenu more powerful than any prince in Europe ; they did not hesitate to go and solicit favours, while affecting to look down upon her. She was eager to make them partakers of her power, and to render them services. She even took pains to excite in them a sort of illusion which they were fond of iudulg in,r, that, in reality, General Bonaparte was only wait ing for a favourable occasion to recal the Bourbons, and to restore the inheritance which belonged to them. And, singularly enough, this illusion, which she de lighted to instil into them, she would almost fain have shared herself ; for she would rather have seen her hus band a subject of the Bourbons, but a subject the pro tector of his kings, surrounded by the homage of thia ancient French aristocracy, than crowned monarch by the hand of the nation. She was a very faint-hearted woman. Though giddy, she loved that man who covered her with glory, and loved him the more since she wag less beloved by him. NOVELTIES, INVENTIONS, AND CHANGES. The rage for novelty is the pervading passion of all classes of Londoners. They are the inost exigeant people in the world in this resw:d, and the inventive faculties of our artists, mamifacturers, and crafts • men must be sorely taxed to find the wherewithal to gratify this restless entichement. The fair and graceful denizens of Mayfair, the "travelled beaux" who throng the stately salons of Holder ness House, or Devonshire house, the fat and greasy citizens, and the plodding tradesman who drives hebdomadally in his gaudy phaeton to his cottage, with a double coach-house on Clapham common, are one and all equally affected by this de sire. If novelty can be combined with utility, taut mieux, but if not, the masa of useless frivolities, which are to be found in our shop windows, bear ample evidence of the facility with which this taste Som w e grace ful y n and o v e e l t l y e g , aym is lashNi,anyvsartioabbley may be gratified. the Quadrant, whip;,h - in R foundcom bined at that vast establi s meat Regent-street, near to this !am is occupied by Messrs. Nicoll. The inventive "powers of the artist who presides over of fashion are always at work. The rarni fics.tions of his far-spreading fame extend into every capital of Europe. The gorgeous East is ransacked to furnish the costly materials for the rich waistcoats which are laid out in such sumptuous profusion on his counters, and the magnificence of his numerous robes de chambre is also the object of general attention. He has recently introduced a new species of coat, which is called his Registered Paletot," and after much trouble, and a considerable display of ingenuity, he has succeeded in constructing a garment which will be equally available for the equestrian or pedestrian. England is undoubtedly burthened with no great debt of gratitude to her sapient legislators, but amongst the few good " Acts" which they have re cently passed is one which empowers inventors to ap propriate to themselves, during the space of three years, the profits arising from the sale of the invented article, and this will fortunately enable Mr. Nicoll to derive some benefit from his ingenuity. The ma terial from which these garments are " built," is woven from the wool of the llama, and Lea a pecu liarly soft and silken description. The application of the various substances which are used as linings, will reader this paletot suitable for either summer or win ter wear. In Edward-street, Portman-square, there dwells a Schneider, bight Wilson, who has conceived the happy idea of lining coats and sailing jackets with air bags filled with blow-pipes. If the wearer find him self in any unpleasant predicament which involves the possibility of his being suddenly immersed in gurgite caste, he can instantly inflate himself up to such a buoyancy, that nothing but a cork could compete with him ; and after having puffed himself up like the frog in the fable, he turns a small screw to keep him " in wind," and can then calmly and philosophi cally await the impending danger in all the air-tight consciousness of security. " Every man his own Humane Society" seems to be Mr. Wilson's motto ; rowers who avail themselves of his invention may venture forth in frail wager-boats without having be fore their eyes the dread of all that— " horrid apparatus By which folks arc unsuffocated gratis." And the security afforded by these sailing jackets will he no inconsiderable addition to the pleasures of yachting. These air-bags may be fitted into any coat for a comparatively trifling sum. It has been hitherto said that drowning men catch at straws, but if any man on board a sinking boat were discovered to pos sess one of these life-preserving garments, his fellow passengers would find something more substantial to " catch at " than a mere morceau de paille. The numerous washes and cosmetics with which the faded beauties of former days vainly sought to restore the charms of their youth, were laid aside simultaneously with pitches, hoop petti coats, &c. They were shot down by the fire of Pope and Swift's satirical artillery. But the teeth and hair are, unfortunately, subject to many of those ills which flesh is heir to, and the whole civilised world bears testimony to the effi cacy and restorative power in several of Messrs. Row land's inventions. It w ere vain to speak of their Kalydor or Odonto, since the whole periodical press teems with their praises. The best proof of their real excellence is to be found in the numerous imita tions of these articles, which renders extreme caution necessary ; otherwise, the unwary purchaser will be duped, and find his toilette table covered with useless, and, perhaps, injurious compounds. In Paris, how ever, the ladies are not content with these adjuncts to beauty. They place but little reliance in the power of those charms which the Arab chiefs lately declared had put the sun out of countenance. They call in the aid of all those artificial adornments of jewellery and bijouterie with which M. Piot tempts his fair cus tomers. What numbers of coroneted carriages now " stop the way" on the broad and noble Boulevard des Italiens, at the establishment which he has re cently opened near to the Opera Comique ! The se lection of jewellery which English ladies have brought to this country from M. Piot's shop, speaks volumes in favour of his taste, judgment, and work manship. Whatever be the epithets which N. Thiera may think fit to apply to England, M. Piot has as suredly no right to talk about "pes:fide Albion," for the natives of our isle flock in large numbers to the establishment, and do not allow a day to elapse after their arrival in Paris without making extensive emplettes.— Post. MORE GAME OUTRAGES.— Some nights ago, a gamekeeper named Bridges was told there were two well known poachers, named Rutter and Ashcroft, residing in Bewdley Forest, in the Rance Wood, in the parish of Mamble, near Cleobury Mortimer, upon which he and his informant went in search of them. After waiting in the neighbourhood of the wood for some time, without seeing the poachers, Bridges and his companion parted to return to their respective homes. Shortly afterwards Bridges heard the report of a gun, and on going back he saw the poachers coming out of the wood , up on which he laid hold of one of them, in whose pocket he felt the barrel of a gun. The latter then pulled out the stock, and struck Bridges on the head with such violence that he fell to the ground senseless. Some time afterwards c onsciousness returned, and he succeeded in reaching Mamble, when Mr. Jones, surgeon, of Cleobury Morti mer, was called in, and that gentleman found he had received a severe wound on the forehead; several in c h es in length. We are happy to state that he is now in a fair way of recovery. The poachers are supposed to h ave made their way into Staffordshire, for they had not been taken when this account was sent to us.—A few nights afterwards, William Inett, who acted as gam e k ee p er i n th e absence of Bridges, saw two Tenhury p oac h named Baldwin and Williams, going towards the Forest Cover, upon which he watched their motions, and shortly , po w a h ch en ers h f e elll a g s afterwards saw them snare three rabbits. He accord inglyhseimrvetdo the as been, onein te roffe the red ground ßridges w h i aci th the barrel of his gun. Here lie laid senseless, till a young man named Bates came up and assisted him horse, when Mr. Jones dre:sed his head, an d he i s now doing welt. ilt s expected that the offenders in this case will soon be in custody, if, indeed, they are not already taken — Wor cestershire Chronicle, A. splendid ball took place at the White Horse AsseroUly-roow., 'Uxbridge, on Monday evening, which was attended by most of the el ite of fashion in the neighbourhood and surrounding county.

The prominent advantages of this system of Atmospheric traction, are, that the continuous valve is dispensed with ; roads are crossed uron a level without interruption of main; one atmospheric railway can be intersected by another, thus saving bridges, approaches, and leakage ; and a stationary- engine every ten miles is sufficient. The system combines extreme simplicity with extreme efficiency, and that obtained with a small comparative expense in working and construction. It is estimated that a saving altogether upon the other plans of Atmospheric Railways (having the continuous valve) will be nearly 3,0001. per mile ; two mains or lines can, on this plan, be laid down for little more than the cost of one, upon the other plan. Increased safety is Insured, also obstruction and destruction by weather and other sources are placed beyond probability by the mains being buried, &c. The objects of the Company are to purchase the Patentee's right for the United Kingdom, to grant licences to Railway and Canal Companies to use the invention, or lay down the works under con tracts with the different Companies ; and, in the first place, to pro cure all experimental line in the neighbourhood of the metropolis, if found desirable. The source of income is unlimited, and the expenses, with the ex ception of the purchase of the Patents, and laying down the experi mental line, must necessarily be merely nominal. A Model, upon a scale of one inch to the foot, may be seen at work on Wednesdays and Thursdays, between twelve and three o'clock, at the Company's offices, by application to the Secretary or Officers of the Company.

Dear Sirs,—ln reply to the verses you wrote, I have taken occasion to send you a note. I certainly think you have very good reason To be quite out or patience with Winter's long season. But, Gentlemen, much brighter days are at hand, When a beautiful Spring will encircle the laud. You asked me, you know, Messrs. MOSES and SON, To speak with the Winter, and this I have done. I inquired how long he intended to stay, And I said you were all hi a terrible way. I told him that birds were all waiting to sing, And that you had prepared your new stock for the Spring. I explained that the dresses of MOSES and SON Could never be worn till the Winter is done. And when I had talked with the King for a while, I succeeded in making his Majesty smile ; And, Sirs, he assured me, betbre I had done, That he'd not disappoint Messrs. MOSES and SON. From this I conclude that your opportune rhyme, Will produce its effect in a very short time. And now, in the hope that you'll long trade together, I remain, yours sincerely, THE " CLERK OF THE WEATHER."

Upwards of 20,000,000 cubic feet of gas have passed through some of these meters without regula tion or repair, and which are still working to •the entire satisfaction of the gas company and consumers. All gas consumers who study economy and a good light are invited to avail themselves of the advantages and comfort to be derived from the use of Defries's Dry Meter, but, to prevent the substitution of im perfect imitations, it is necessary at all times to order Denies's Dry Meter, and to observe his name on the brass badge in front of all his meters.

Ilebb and Co., Solicitors, Argyle-street, WIL LIAM NICHOLSON, Esq., in the Chair, the following resolutions were unanimously carried : Resolved,—That, as itis the object of the Subscribers to this Com pany to construct the proposed Railway between Shrewsbury and Birmingham, and not merely to obtain a paltry premium on their Scrip, this meeting feel called upon to express its strong disapproba tion at the course of proceedings adopted by the Committee of Management. Resolved,—That it was the bounden duty of the Board of Manage ment to have convened a special meeting of the Shareholders on the rejection of the Bill by the House of Commons, and the reluctance of the Board of Management to afford the necessary explanation to the Shareholders, added to the many false reports which (whether they emanated from members of the Board or not) have been circulated clearly for purposes of private speculation, renders it imperative that a general meeting of Subscribers be convened forthwith. Resolved,—That a general meeting of Scripholders in this Company be accordingly summoned for WEDNESDAY NEXT, the 2d day of April, to be held on that day at the London Coffee-house, Ludgate-hill, at Eleven o'clock precisely, at which all subscribers to the undertaking are earnestly invited to attend.

Thiers. Vol. 11. This volume possesses more interest and variety than the first, though that furnished ample and graphic details of the passage of the Alps and the battle of Marengo—one reckoned the most remark able military movement in modern times, and the other the great step by which Napoleon mounted the imperial throne. It made him First Consul, and from the consulate to the empire the transition was easy. M. Thiers has devoted a considerable portion of the second part to the state of Egypt after the departure of General Bonaparte, the discontent of the army and its leader, General Kleber ; his victories over the Turks; his defeat at El-Arisch, and his assassination at Cairo. Though not disposed to go out of his way to pay compliments to the English, and least of all English naval officers, the author does justice to Sir Sidney Smith, whom he describes as a man of generous feelings, and to Colonel Douglas, who did everything in his power to save the wreck of the garrison from the fury of the Turks. " Some of these unfortuuate men," says he, " obtained quarter, thanks to Colonel Douglas, and owed their lives to the interference of that hu mane, gallant, and distinguished officer." He de scribes also at considerable length the famous battle of Hohenlinden; attributes, though reluctantly, praise to Moreau, and modifies it with the imputation of great faults committed in several movements, and en deavours to lessen his glory on that occasion by an ticipation of events which, unfortunately, cast a shade on his early career. He cannot, however, deny him the merit of prudence, vigour, and suc cess. " Moreau had proved himself capable of com manding 100,000 men with prudence and vigour ; no man, excepting Napoleon, had manoeuvred such a force so well in the present century ; and though the plan of the conqueror of Hohenlinden be at an immense distance from that of the conqueror of Rivoli, of Marengo, and Austerlitz, that plan is, never theless, glorious, and would have remained glorious, if criminal misconduct, the fatal effects of jealousy, had not subsequently sullied a life till then noble and pure." The celebrated passage of tl-e Splugen by Macdonald is described in a few lines, though it rivals, perhaps eclipses, the passage of the Alps by Bonaparte. the leading features, however, of this section of the work arc the domestic policy of the First Consul, the negotiations with foreign powers, and the vast schemes he formed for uniting the whole of Europe against the great barrier to universal dominion, England. In all these Bonaparte displayed the greatest ability, and, with perhaps some excep tions, is entitled to the highest praise. He arranged the discordant elements of a great nation, put an end to anarchy by moderation, justice, and humane plans; was lenient to the errors, or rather the prepossessions of the unfortunate royalists and the priests ; and was only the bitter enemy of that unprincipled portion of the community who delighted in endless revolution from selfish motives, and would have sacrificed the honour, the glory, and safety of their country for even the chance of temporary power. To these men for a long time he attributed all the attempts on his life, and nothing but the most indubitable evidence could convince him that Georges and other royalists were the real authors of the infernal machine. We regret to find that M. Thiers here forgets the im partiality of a great historian, gives as facts what he cannot prove, nay, what are fully denied by as good Frenchmen as himself, and ministers to vulgar preju dices and national antipathies in language, though not direct, yet not to be mistaken, by leaving the impression on the minds of his readers that the assas sins were the tools of the English Cabinet, and that they were furnished with English gold to carry their diabolical schemes into effect. This it is true was the belief of the First Consul, but we believe he was afterwards disabused by the earnest and indignant asseverations of Mr. Fox, independent of other proofs ; yet M. Thiers still sticks to the original calumny and uses such expressions as these :—" Georges, having returned from London to the Morbihan, was full of money, thanks to the English, and secretly directed the plunder of the diligences. He had sent some of his cut-throats to Paris, for the purpose of murdering the First Consul." And elsewhere—" In a lower sphere conspired otherwise than by words the intriguers in the service of the Bourbons, and lower still, but more dangerously, the agents of Georges, with their hands full of money, supplied by England." These and some other national pre judices are unworthy of M. Thiers' high rank, ability, and acquirements—they only injure his own charac ter, and detract from the value of a work of great merit. But this littleness, to apply the gentlest term, is not unfrequently an accompaniment of the brightest genius, and latterly diminished that halo of glory which surrounded the head of Napoleon himself. He has been admired by the vulgar chiefly for his great victories. These, however, entitle him to the least praise. They were obtained at enormous sacrifices ; human beings were treated as mere machines; the best blood of France was shed to gratify his lust of dominion, and at last, in the utter recklessness of despair, he sacrificed himself and his country. His highest merit consists in his domestic administration, in composing civil broils, improving the civil code, retrieving the finances, and carrying out vast and national works. From No vember, 1799, to September, 1800, the face of France was changed ; the public funds had risen from 12 to 40, and the public creditors, to their astonishment and delight, received a half-year's dividend in money—a thing which had not occurred since the commence ment, of the revolution. " This financial phenomenon;' says M. Thiers, " produced a great effect, and it ap peared to be not one of the least of the victories of the First Consul. This was an enigma which the mass of the public explained by that extraordinary power, which he was already said to possess, of doing . what ever he pleased. But there is no miracle in this world. there is no other cause for real successes but sound sense, seconded by a strong M. Thiers thus sums up the labours in which this won derful man was engaged during the winter of 1800- 1801 : All things were being organised at the same timo, with the harmony which a comprehensive mind is capable of introducing into its works, with the rapidity which a resolute energy, an authority already punctually obeyed, is capable of imparting to them. The g enius which accomplished these things was without doubt ex traordinary ; but, it must be confessed, the situation was as extraordinary as the genius. General Bonaparte had France and Europe to move, and victory for a lever ; he had to digest all the codes of the French nation, but they at the same time all ranks were disposed to submit to his laws with implicit obedience; he bad roads, canals, bridges to construct, and the necessary resources for these objects at his undisputed disposal ; he had even nations ready to furnish him with their treasures—the Italians, for example, who cheerfully contributed to the expense of opening the Simplon, and to the endowment of the Hospices raised on the summits of the Alps. Pro vidence does nothing by halves. For every mighty task she furnishes a great genius, and to every groat genius she assigns a mighty task. For details of these useful and noble undertakings, we refer to the work itself, which, we may add, im proves on acquaintance. The style is simple, and, at at times, highly eloquent. The narrative flows natu rally, and without effort. The interest never flags, and the writer, unlike some who claim the pharactei' of historians, never obtrudes himself, and rarely his individual opinions, on the notice of the reader. His remarks abound with good sense, and his occasional deviations from impartiality must be attributed rather to his national propensity, and to his admiration of the hero of the work, than to wilful misrepresenta tion. He draws characters with a masterly hand, in a few words paints to the life their defects and their virtues, and in the narration of a tragical event stands unrivalled. As proofs of these historical abilities, we subjoin the characters of two or three leading men of that period, with those of Napoleon's brothers, Joseph and Lucien, and his wife Josephine, FOUCHE, TALLEYRAND, CA MBACERES, JO SEPH AND LUCIEN BONAPARTE, AND JOSEPHINE. M. Fouchis charged to exercise this power, formerly an Oratorian and a Conventionalist, was an intelligent and a crafty personage, neither good nor wicked, well ac quainted with men, especially the bad, and despising them; employing the funds of the police in supporting the agents of troubles as much as in watching them; always ready to procure bread or a place for every per son weary of political agitations; thus making friends for the Government, and more especially for himself; creating for himself obliged dependents, far superior to credulous and deceitful spies, who never failed to inform him of everything that it was his interest to know; having persons under obligations to him in all the par ties, even among the Royalists, whom he knew how to manage, and to repress at the right time; always fore warned, never overrating danger, nor exaggerating it to his master; clearly distinguishing an imprudent man from one really to be feared, knowing when to caution the one, to proceed against the other; in short, managing the police better than it was ever managed, for it con sists in disarming animosities as much as in repressing them; a superior minister, if he had had elevated inten tions, if his indulgence had sprung from any other prin ciple than an indifference to good and evil, if his activity had proceeded from any other motive than a passion for interfering in everything, which rendered him irksome and suspicious to the First Consul, and frequently gave him the appearance of a vulgar intriguer. For the rest, his intelligent but ignoble countenance, was a faithful mirror of the qualities and vices of his soul. . . . M. de Talleyrand descended from a family of the noblest lineage, destined by his birth for the army, doomed to the priesthood by an accident, which deprived him of the use of one foot, having no liking for this im posed profession, successively bishop, courtier, revo lutionist, and emigrant, then afterwards minister for foreign affairs under the Directory, M. de Talloyrand had retained something of all these different states ; there was to be found in him a touch of the bishop, of the man of quality, and of the revolutionist. Having no firmly fixed opinion, but only a natural moderation, which was opposed to every species of exaggeration ; capable of entering at once into the feelings of those whom he wished to please, either from liking or from interest ; speaking a unique language peculiar to that society which had Voltaire for instructor ; full of smart, poignant re partees, which rendered him as formidable -a, he was attractive ; i by turns caressing or diss s t' a l n ful: with demon strative or impenetrable careless, '',lgniaod, lame out loss of gracefulness, in sh or t, one of the most ex traordinary personages, and such a ono as a revolution alone can produce, he was the most seducing of negotia tors, but at the same time incapable of directing, as head, the affairs of a great state ; for every leader should pos sess a resolute will, settled views, and application, and he had none of these. His will was confined to pleas ing, his views consisted in the opinions of the moment, his application was next to nothing. In a word, he was an accomplished ambassador, but not a directing minis ter ; be it understood, however, that this expression is to be taken in its most elevated acceptation. For the rest, he held no other post under the Consular Govern ment. The First Consul, who allowed no person the right to give an opinion on the affairs of war and of diplo macy,merely employed him to negotiate with the Foreign Ministers, on basis previously prescribed, and this M. de Talleyrand did with an art that will never be surpassed. He possessed, however, a moral merit, that of being fond of peace under a master who was fond of war, and of showing that he was so. Endowed with exquisite taste, uniting with it unerring tact, and eren a useful indo lence, he was able to render real services, by simply op posing to the First Consul's exuberance of language, pen, and action, his sobriety, his perfect moderation, and his very propensity to do nothing. But he made little im pression on that idiperious master, from whom he ex torted no respect either by genius or by conviction. Thus he had no more empire than M. Fouch6, nay, even lose, though quite as much employed, and more-agree able. . The First Consul prized the plain good sense of M. Fouch6, relished the grilses of M. de Talleyrand, but absolutely believed neither the one nor the other on any subject, and, as for his confidence, had given that, given it wholly and entirely, but not to either of those two men— to his colleague Carabac6res. The latter, with an under standing far from brilliant, had extraordinary good sense, and an unbounded attachment to the First Consul. Having trembled for ten years of his life under pro scribers of all sorts, he loved, with a kind of affection, the powerful master, who at length procured him the faculty of breathing at his ease. He loved his power, his genius, his person, from which he had not received, and hoped never to receive, anything but favours. Ac quainted with the weaknesses of men, even of the greatest, he counselled the First Consul, as one ought to counsel when one wishes to be attended to, with perfect sincerity, with extreme discretion, never for the purpose of show ing off his own wisdom, but always to be serviceable to a Government which he loved as dearly as himself, always approving of all its acts in public, whatever they might be and never disapproving of them but in pri vate, in an absolute hlte-a. Vie with the First Consul; keeping silence when there was no good to be done, and when censure could be but a vain pleasure of finding fault ; sure to speak his mind, and with a courage highly meritorious in a man so extremely timid, when he was in time to prevent a blunder, or influence the general conduct of affairs. And, as if a character which is in cessantly under self-restraint must needs be betrayed into some weakness, the consul Cambac4 Is exhibited a puerile vanity with his inferiors, lived with some subal tern courtiers, who paid him fulsome homage, walked every day in the Palais Royal, in a ridiculously magni ficent dress, and sought, in the gratification of a gour mandise that has become proverbial, pleasures which were suited to his vulgar but prudent soul. Of what consequence, however, are a few foibles, redeemed by superior reason The First Consul cheerfully forgave these foibles in his colleague, and made much of him. He appreciated that superior good sense, which never wished to shine but to be useful, and which threw a tempered and true light upon everything. He appreciated, above all, the sincerity of his attachment, laughed at . his weaknesses, but always with delicacy, and paid him the very high compliment of confiding everything to him alone, of never being concerned but about his judgment. Hence, he was susceptible of no influence but his—au influence scarcely suspected, and on that account very great. i . . To convey an accurate idea of the circle surround ing the First Consul, we must say a word concerning his family. He had four brothers, Joseph, Lucien, Louis, and J‘come. The two latter we shall notice in due time. Joseph and Lucien only were then of any importance. Joseph, the eldest of all, had married the daughter of a wealthy and respectable merchant of Marseilles. He was mild, tolerably acute, agreeable in person, and caused the brother less vexation than any of the others. It was for him that the First Consul reserved the honour of negotiating the peace of the Republic with the states of the old and the new world. He had charged him to conclude the treaty which had been signed with Ame rica, and had just appointed him plenipotentiary to Luneville, thus seeking to assign to him a part which should be popular in France. Lucien, at present Mi nister of the Interior, was a clever man, but of unequal mind, restless, ungovernable, and, though possessing talent, not having sufficient to make amends for what he wanted in point of good sense. Both flattered the pro pensity of the First Consul to raise himself to the su preme power ; and this was but natural. The genius of the First Consul, like his glory, were things personal to himself ; one quality only could be transmissible to his family, that was the princely quality, if he should one day assume it, in preference to that of first magistrate of the Republic. His brothers were amongst those who asserted, with least reserve, that the present form of government was but one of transition, devised to lull revolutionary prejudices ; but that he ought to make up his mind, and that if he wished to found something truly stable, it was indispensably necessary to introduce greater concentration, unity, and durability. The drift of all this was very evident. The First Consul, as every one knows, had no children, which greatly embarrassed those who already dreamt of the transformation of the republic into a monarchy. It was, in fact, an inconsis tency to pretend to be desirous of insuring the regular and natural transmission of the supreme power in the family of a man who had no heirs. Thus though, hereafter, this default of heirs might be a personal ad vantage for the brothers of the First Consul, it was now an argument against their projects, and they frequently reproached Madame Bonaparte for a misfortune, of which, they said, she was the cause. Having quarrelled with her, from sheer jealousy of her influence, they had not spared her in conversation with her husband, told persecuted her with their remarks, incessantlyatnhe i and loudly repeating that it was absolutely necessary for Consul to have a wife who should bring ham chrldren, that this was not a private but a public consideration, r swith e u solation on this point was indispensable, . n th the most a o n rd d e t r ha to t a revolution the future welfare of F ance„. They in caused these cruel sentiments, pregnant t o be repeated sinister consequences for hall lips. The wife of the First Consul, apparently so for tunate, was, therefore, at this moment, very fax from happy. Josallphine Bonaparte, who had been married first to the Count de Beauharnais, then to the young general who had saved the Convention on the 13th Venda micas°, and now shared with him a place which began to resemble 4 throne, was a Creole by birth, and had all the graces, all the defects, usual in women who are so born. Kind-hearted, profuse, and frivolous, not . a i beauty, but perfectly elegant, and endowed with afuute PUBLICATIONS.
