NO ncEs OF BUON kPARTE.

Not a syllable 'Procced•A really from the heart
of /his man, on those occasions, when he uttered
the language of sensibility one pf -these itt
particular, he repeated somelines which lie got by
rote from a play., We recollect the scene he play-
ed off, a few days: befOre his departure; before
some Officers of the National Guard of Paris : his
demeanour had an air of pathos, anti in fact drew-
sonic tears from a few of the spectators who were
easily duped ; hut these which Buonaparte seemed
to Shed were forced and affected.. After an An-
diEttss, delivered with somewhat of a pathetic air,
he ye-entered his closet., and clapping one of his,
confidants on the back, said to him—'l You have
seen how I did them !" ThiS fact May be relied
on; and will .serve asp trite illustratio'trof all the
scenes he Played off While at.Fontainbleau. His
last adieus may be r?garded as the fifth act of the
precious melo-draio. Sonic of-the besotted spec-
tators. shed tears on the parterre, while he laughed
in his sleeve at their miserable simplicity.
FONTAINBLEAt7,• Arr,ic 20.—A1l those who
were near and observant
_of ,Buonaparte at the
moment of his departure, have been struck at the
want of sensibility and affection Which ht 3
maaifested to those about him. Not one trait of
genuine ..emotion—not one word from the heart,
marked him susceptible of the:least cordial feeling ,
or attacbtnent. It is thought, that be feared 'his
loss would occasion little or no regret, as his few
lingering atteudauts had abandoned hjin ; and on ,
the eve of his departure he had but one servant
remaining. He received the adieus of his oldest
companions, in arms without addressing a single
word of cordiality or friendship; and the man,
who played so many parts, was never able ti) ap-
pear the man of goodness. Buoitaparte , spoke a
good deal latterly of his intention to engage in
scientific studies. " After all," said he, " I shall
be, to the last, a most extraordinary character !
I.hoe abdicated like the Emperor Charles V. and
I shall indulge hereafter in literary pursuits." He
then. spoke of such extraordinary projects, that
the military men regarded him as one whose rea-
son was affected. 'lt is very certain that he al-
ways placed conficie%ce in the Ministers of Astro-
logy. For some successive days a feMale endea-
voured to get a private interview with him ; it is
thought she meant to communicate some slow
but subtle po-ison and at the same time to inform
-him of his future destiny. We are ignorant
whether she succeeded-in obtaining the interview,
but she certainly remained four days at Fontain-
blean. Some years Since she-came from Egypt
at the instance of Buonaparte.
It was only in getting into his carriage that he
shed sonic tears—not for the sake of those whom
he had•quitted, but for himself alone ; 'hut this
caused the uneasiness of no one, and it is matter
of satisfaction that his conf:act entirely estranged
from him so great a number of brave men, who
were so long attached to his, fortunes, and who,
perhaps, woull have remained devoted to hint, if
so much-egotism and insensibility on his part had
not alienated their hearts,

MoNTARcrs, APRIL 23.—Btionaparte passed
through this town on Wednesday, at four o'clock
in the afternoon, in a carriage drawn by
horses, with. about 25 horse soldiers foliowing.
The Russian, Austrian, French, English, and
Prussian Generals, and their immediate atten-
dants, occupied six other carriages, each drawn
by six horses. These were followed by 2.0 car-
riages, containing the baggage and domestic at-
tendants of Buonaparte. Some draft and led
horses, and picquets of cavalry, passed in .the
morning. The foot soldids of this cantonment
,were under arms ; they-knew how' to respect the
misfortunes of Buonaparte, and preserved a strict
silence,' neither manifesting any sign of d;sap-
probation, or the reverse. Buonaparte passeA
the front of those brave troops, and, on entering
the town, affected an air of calmness, saluting on
the right and on the left those persons' who ap-
peared at the windows from motives of curiosity.
Numbers reproach him on the score of
: the fact is, that few ,feel any interest
about him. General Bertrand was in the same
carriage, and appeared much more affected then
his master. Buonaparte will sleep at the Chateau
de Briare ; he makes short days journies, and pro-
ceeds next On the road to St. Tropex.
