Qtr the ,lst of April, in the mornint, Biterna
parte reviewed the troops which he
,eertied to
consider as .his own ; the Marshals and Peneralt
who had learned from the papers the 'resolutiOnt
of the Senate and the ProvisiOnal Government;
conversed together on the Subject !owl enough
to b'e heard brNapoleJn, but he appeared. to par
no attention to what they said,
,and the reirie*,
passed quietly. When it was over, Alarshal Noy;
as had been settled, entered the Palace with him,
and followed him into his cabinet, where he asked
hini if he was informed of the • great revolution
that had taken Place at Paris. He repled, with
all the composure he could assurrie,:that be knew
nothing of it, though he was doubties well in-
formetl of the Whole. The Marshal then gave him,

the Paris Papers, whibh he seemed to read with
attention, but he Was Only seeking to gain time
to form an answer. Meantime came Marshal
Lefehre, who,addresslng his late Emperor in a
feeling tone, said,- -" -Volt are undone k you
would not listen to the'rouncils of any of your
" set•rants, acid now the Senatehardeclared that
" you have forfeited the Throne. 'These words

made such an impression_ on him, who used to
consider himself -above all laws, that be itninedi
ately burst. into a flood of tears, 'and, otter si:me
minutes reflection, Wrote an act of abdication in
favour at his son._
Another Officer,.who was likewise a witness of
whatpassed, relates, that on the sth, about 11
o'clOck, several Generals sent to the Duke of
Bassano, who was mostly alone with the Empe-
ror, to dissuade him from appearing on the Pa-
rade., Buthe Would not refrain from: it. About.

half past eleven, he formed a plan, which he made
the Duke of Bassano write and sign with him, to
repair with 2.0,000 nien,• that he had- still with
him, to Italy, arni join the Prince Eugene Napo-.
leon, He 'repeated
.seyeral times, '" if I choose`` to go there, I am certain that all Italy will de-
" dare for me." • On the Parade, he looked hor-
ribly pale and thoughtful, and his convulsive mo-
tions ;hewed his internal struggles; •he did not
stop above eight or ten Minutes. When be got
into the Palace,. he sent for the Duke of Reggio,
and asked him if the troops would -follow hint ?
" No, Sir," answered the puke, " you have ab-
dicated."—" Yes, but certain conditions."
" The soldiers," resumed the Duke, "
comprehend, the difference ; they think you have
no wore any right to connriand them."—"
then," Said Napole6n, " this is no more to be
thought of; let us wait ,for ' the accounts from

Paris."

The Marbals returned in the night between
tcv'ele and one. ;Marshal .Ney entered first.--
Well,have you succeeded ?' exclaimed the Em-

perm..
". Revolutions do-nut turn back ;' this, has be-
gun its course ; was too late. To-morrow the
Senate will recognize the-Bourbons."-,
When shall I be able to live with my family
" When your Majesty shall ,please ; and, for
example, in the Isle of Elba,
.with a revenue of
six millions."
Six 'millions !
,that is a great deal for a sol-
dier, as 1 am. I see very well I mast submit.
Salute all my companions in arms."----(ilere Napo-
leon ceased speaking.)
The following circumstances may be added :
Four 'day's ago, Napoleon thought of passing
Decree, inflicting the penalty of death. upon every
one who 'Should be found to have a newspaper
iit
his pocket. The evening before his dethrone-
ment, he made a Colonel a present.of an estate in
Westphalia.
The Emperor oftlitssia, immediately on his ar-
rival at Pai'is, role on horseback to the Thuille-
-
ries, examined every thing, and praised the taste - 4
with which' it %vas. adorned. " 1 have found Paris •
e -y-74-ie,'• sates -b-13---A-DaJm7, -" -but--1 shall
" leave it in a much more flourishing
• Being shewn the Saloon of Peace, he said,
" What use could Buonaparte 'Make of this Sa-
" loon ?"
When he' came to the great Gallery of the Mu-
.seutu, he said, " Ten days are necessary to see ,
" this fine collection." Observing that some,
pictures were removed, be said, " Ills cltaracter
" must have beeti quite misunderstood, if any
" tear bad been entertained for the Museum,'
: The Emperor laughed, though. not with bitter-
ness, at the fear with which,it had 'been attempt-
ed-to
inspire the Parisians. .
The Inonnment of the Place Vendome is unUr
the prdtection of the high
:Allied Powers ; the
Statue of Buonaparte, at the lop Of it, is to be
replaced by that, of Peace. As the Emperor Alex-
ander rode by said, " 1 should be atr...id of
becoming giddy, if I stood so high."
" Your Majesty's arrival at Paris has. been long
" expected and desired," said somebody. "
" should have been here sooner," replied the
iilityeror : " attribute my delay to the Freneu
valour."
