BERNADOTTE.

I dined on the day of my arrival at Greifswald
with the Prince Royal of Sweden, and had two
long conferences with his Royal Highness. His
engaging manners, spirited conversation, faci-
lity of expression, and the talent which dis-
played itself in all that it said, convinced me
on my, first interview that he was no ordinary
man. It was, however, my duty not to permit
myself to be dazzled by his brilliancy, but to as-
certain if possible, through the glitter that sur-
rounded him, what were his real views, and how

far the warmth of his expressions and splendour
of his designs would be borne out by the rea-
lity of his services to the general cause.
The cautious line he had adopted and main-
tained during the last campaign, had been of the

most important consequence to the allies. No-
thing; had yet occurred in his demeanour which
could be made a matter of reproach ; but, it must
be owned, there was nothing to justify confi-
dence : it remained to be discovered whether the
future would wear a more promising atpect. The
unequivocal proof of his sincerity would have
been, to have bolBly and unreservedly committed
his new subjects against his old friends : it was
not possible to believe him fully in earnest,
until we should see him fairly in action at the
head of his Swedes, with French troops for their
opponents.

- He was on the eve of setting out to Trachen-
berg, at the moment of my arrival. The time,
therefore, was too short to allow of systematic
discussion ; and our conversations, on both
sides, assumed a very miscellaneous character.
Of these conversations, and of all the points em-
braced in them, my position debars me froth
giving a complete account ; but the impression
left upon my mind will be conveyed exactly by
a phrase of which I availed myself when record-
ing what had passed—" He clothed himself in
a pelisse of war, but his under garments were
made of Swedish objects and peace ;" and fur-
ther to confirm me in my belief that these sen-
timents were not erroneous, a celebrated and
distinguished General Officer, who was at this
period one of my colleagues at the Swedish
head-quarters, emphatically assured me, " Le
zele du Prince se montrera toujours plus A me-
sure qu'il se croira moins necessaire. In the

progress, however, of my detail, I shall bring
forward circumstances and facts that will enable
the impartial reader to form his own judgment.
In this part of the narrative, it is only necessary to
state that there was, in truth, no natural link to con-
nect him with the allies; policy had brought him
forward; but both policy and affection restrained

in from committing himself absolutely against
_ ..

that nation, the love of which was early engrafted
in his breast. I must, however, beg to be un-
derstood in any observations I make, as not
having adopted them from any official source :
they will be confined solely to the sentiments I
formed myself on the bare military subjects that
came forward, and were then in agitation. My
opinions may be incorrect; the data for my judg-
ment deficient ; the difficulties of the Prince
Royal's position known better to himself than to
others ; but such as my sentiments are I give
them, with honesty, and, I hope, becoming de-
ference, while writing a military narrative.
It happened very fortunately, that the news of
the debates on the Swedish treaty in the two
Houses of Parliament, and of the very con-
siderable majority in its favour, had preceded
my arrival. At Stralsund this had a most satis-
factory influence ; and it was natural to ascribe
much of the Prince Royal's cordiality to this
cause. Of the individuals by whom his Royal
Highness was surrounded, the most prominent
was a Colonel Camps, his foster-brother, a
Frenchman ; the Swedish Generals were un-

doubtedly honest, upright, and sensible men ;
but there existed a secret ascendancy over some
of the staff-officers, which it was difficult to de-
velop. I must however do, thus early, full
justice to Baron Wetterstedt the Secretary of
State, General Adlercreutz (since dead),General
Count Lowenhehn, and some others ; never

were more valuable officers than these, nor men
more devoted to the common cause of their
country and Europe. If reports were to be
credited, at times there was a less direct and less

- :--.
respectable means of influence than these in
___-

operation. There was certainly nothing in the
character or habits of some leading persons at
the Prince's head-quarters, which made it im-
possible to believe the reports in circulation. A
celebrated actress had lately taken her departure
from Stralsund, and it was said had been con•

veyed to General Vandamme's out-post with an
escort. As to the nature and extent of her com-
munications, rumour was not idle. But I advert

to the fact only, for the sake of reminding my
reader that the manoeuvres resorted to by Na-
poleon were not always of a strictly military
character.—Lord Londonderry'i Narrative of
the War in Germany and France.

BOURRIENNE'S MEMOIRS OF NAPOLEON.
—This work certainly forms the most impartial history
of NAPOLEON that has ever appeared. In his preface the
author says—" I shall state respecting this extraordinary
man all that I know, have seen, and heard, and of which I
have preserved numerous notes. With confidence I call
him an extraordinary man ; for he who was indebted for
every thing to himself—who won so many victories, sub-
jugated so many states—obtained absolute power over a
great and enlightened nation—scattered crowns among his
family—made and unmade kings—who lived to be almost
the oldest sovereign in Europe—and who was, without
dispute, the most distinguished of his age—certainly was
not an ordinary man. It is my wish that he who may
undertake the difficult task of writing the history of NA,

perfection of his design. He 1,1%11 at least find truth."

took place at Rotherhithe, between a party of York hire
snit Irish labourers. It appeared that the former, who
are employed by Mr. FLOWER, a baige-owner, as excava-
tors, have been in the habit of neglecting their work, and
the latter being hired in their place, gave great offence.—
They jumped into the barge in which the Irish were work-
ing, and began beating them with sticks. One man was
so dreadfully injured, that he is not expected to survive.--
They were yesterday held to bail at Union-hall.
