LA VERITE.

.`Sur Les Gent Jour ; compiled principally from a
Report upon the projected Regeneration of the
Roman Empire. By a Citizen of Corsica.
We proceed to acquit ourselves of our promise
of making some extracts from the work, the title
of which is given above. As it is necessary our
Readers should he informed upon what authority
the statements made i this work, so opposed to
the events that actually took place, are given
with the Advertisement of the Editor, we begin
where this information is contained. 4t says::—
" The consideration's which determined Napoleon to re-enter
France in the month of May, 1315, the motives which led to
his departure from the Isle of Elba, are even at this day diffi-
cult to penetrate. The Historical Episode of the Hundred
Pays is known to the whole world, and in the whole world
there are very few persons who know how that event -was
brought about. This Work is destined to withdraw a part of
:he veil under which the truth is hidden ; and if the authors of
some of the documents which are here given were dead, that
truth might have been perfectly displayed.
" Two only of these are in the- tomb. One of them is-the
illustrious Melchior Deltic, Counsellor of State at Naples,
author of L'Histuirc de lit Republique de Saint Marian, and
several highly esteemed writings, and one of the most virtuous
men of Italy.
" Although his signature is not added to the report-upon-the
situation of Italy, (which is one of the most interesting docu-
ments this book contains), it was nevertheless written at Naples
under his own eyes, and nearly all at his dictation.
" The other is the Count Louis Corvelto, justly regarded as
one of the best lawyers of Genoa, and perhaps of Italy, a Mem-
ber of the Executive Directory of the Ligurien -Republic, after-
wards a Counsellor of State of the French Empire, and Mi-
nister of Finance under the Bourbons from 1815 to 1819..
" Of the rest, neither the other Italians nor M. Corvetto
were ever in the secrets of Napoleon in reference to his designs
upon France, and the surprise of the latter was only equalled by
his grief when he learnt that the Emperor, upon landing in the
Gulf of Juan, took the road to Paris instead of that to Rome."
The advertisement then says, that the port-
folio, whence the information this book contains
was drawn, had still a large variety of interesting
documents, but which must be suppressed for the
present, because their publication might occasion
great inquietude and distress to innocent persons,
and concludes by requesting the reader to suspend
his judgment until such time as circumstances will
permit the Editors to publish the exact truth,
and submit the documents themselves to examina-
tion, anti of which they did not doubt the result.
This Advertisement is followed by a -Preface,
which contains nothing remarkable. .It men-
tions LAS CASAS, MONTHOLON, GOUISGAUD,
O'MEARA, STOIOE, and flonuousE, as the
only authors who were -worthy to write upon
NAPOLEON, and refers to. NAPOLEON himself,
and speaks of Sir lIUDON LOW>:. as having assured
himself an imperishable fame, without having de-
stroyed an Ephesian Temple.
