BONAPARTE'S PORTfOLIO.-A pamphlet has recently
appeared in Holland, entitled, •" Buonaparte's Portfolio, taken
at Charleroi, June /0, 1815, part I. It is prefaced by th•
fallowing statement:--" Mr. Van Uchelen, one of oar officers.
who was made prisoner on the t 7111 of June, and taken to
Charleroi, was there forgotten by the French on their defeat
at Belle Alliance. He profited of the opportunity, declared
himself commandant of the town, and with the assistance of
some armed people whom he collected, he stopped the
plundering of the powder and other wpggons, and placed is
security twelve pieces of cannon, and many other valuable
articles. Ile brought a large portfolio to BrusselF, and it waa
found to be the portfolio of Baron rain, First Cabinet
Secretary to Bonaparte." All the documents therein con-
tained, are of very recent date ; and they throw considerable
light on the internal situation of France, although there is
little in them amusing. Bonaparte's travelling library was
found in six tmanks, and amounted to 800 volumes—among
them were, Homer. Ossian, Gil Blas, Don Quixotte,'and
Voltaire's Charles Xll. all beautiful editions.

of the conquest of Germany, three the private property of

There is a pleasant story told of Prince Blucher. It is,
that he visits the Louvre with a catalogue in his hand, in
which the galleries from whence the pictures are taken are
seated " From
.the Dusseldorf Gallery !"—" 0 yes— I
recollect it—take it down ;" and the veteran has the picture
or pictures taken down at once.

it seldom happens that when a man and his spurs set out
together, the latter arrive before himself. But Bonaparte's
spurs arrived in London last week, and were presented to the
1 ince Regent on Tuesday last, by Lord Erskine, to whose
care they were consigned by the Duke of Wellington. The
spurs were found 'in the carricge captuted after the late
battle.
