ANECDOTES OF THE EMPEROR NAPOLEON M.-
With the future Emperor or France, when an exile
in England, I had been well acquainted.' He had been a
constant subscriber to Her Majesty's Theatre, was a frequent
guest at my house, and had assisted at the afternoon fetes
given by rue at my residence, The Chancellor's, at Fulham,
where he had entered heart and soul into the
amusements
of the hour. Frequenters of these champetres entertain-
ments may remember one occasion when Prince Louis
Napoleon figured in the same quadrille with Taglioni, Cerito
and Carlotta Grisi, having the director of Her Majesty's
Theatre vis-a-vis. The Prince and I frequently dined in
company at Gore House, the residence of the late Countess
of Blessington, where all that was distinguished in literature
and art was constantly assembled; and it may be worth
recording, in connection with the Prince's known firm reli-
ance, on his destiny that at one of these dinners, when Count
d Orsay was expatiating on the evidences that had come
before him of the popularity of the Prince (although, at that
time, the law forbidding any member of the Bonaparte
family to entet the country was still in force), the future
Emperor oat silent with a significant smile upon his face,
the meaning of which none could fail to interpret. On
another occasion, when I was alluding to the part played by
General Cavaignac in June, 1848, in firing upon the people
after the emeute had been quelled, the Prince drily, but in
an earnest manner, remarked, "That man is clearing the
way for me."—Lumleys Reminiscences of the Opera.
