on Duty, at Toulon and in Hospitals ; and the reason why
the Account now exceeds that made op to the 3 rst of Decem-

a later period, which enabled the Board to make it

1 HE bIiKE D'ENCIIIEN.

ACCORDING to several vivate Letters, the exe,
curion of this gallant Prince .was as private,
.and as
studiously concealed, as his condemnation was pub-.
lished with eclat. For twenty-foUr hours after his
murder, petitions for him were presented by the
Duke DE LIANCOURT, and several other of his
friends, through the means of Madame Bo NArAELTE,
as the First Consul resides at Malmaison, where he
is visible to none hut his Ministers, favourites, and
relatives. Even in the. Senate, on the 22d, it was
proposed by LAN JU INA IS, to advise the First Con:
sul to park& the Duke. It is said at Paris, that
this Senator Pointed out in strong language the
danger of accustoming Bo NAPARTE to blood ill 67:4
causes; and said, among Other things, " thaeNt RO,
cried at one -time when he was forced to sign his
name to a death_warrant ; but, at another time,
accustomed to the sight of blood, by the advice of
depraved counsellors; he murdered his own mother
and brother, his tutor, his senators, ministers, ge_
nerals, and all classes of Roman citizens, with the
same indifference as he saw Rome burning." Bo:
NAeARTE desired General MORTIRR to be Presi.„
dent of the Military Commission which condemned
the Duke, but he declined it. General HULIN was
then appointed (the son of a washerwoman; and fur.
merly a servant in the workhouses of the Court at
Versailles), notorious since July 14. th, 1789, in
all the dreadful catastrophes of the Revotution.
After sentence was passed, the Duke asked,, if
he could see BiiNAPARTE ? Yes," said Hut.ix,
" ilyou. have any discoveries to make."
covet ies!" answered the Duke, with indignation
" carry me to the place- of execution." " That
cannot be done," said Hyena, " before •we have no.
ported our sentence to the First Consul," " I knew
the sentence," answered the Duke, "before, against
the lassoeof nations, he carried me away from Etten...
heim.", From the time of the Duke's arrest, he had
never once been permitted to lay down on a bed, to
undress, to shave, or to change his linen; and his
feet were so swollen from fatigue. that he coal&
hardly stand., In the dungeon at Vincennes, witete
lie was shut up, with four gensd'armes, for the four-
teen hours he lived after his condemnation, there
neither was a bed nor chair.; there was some strio.v,
where he sat down, but he was prevented from it
moment's rest by the noise and questions of these
satellites, who had orders to prevent his slumber.
A Clergyman was with him for an hour, hut was
not permitted to speak with him, except so loud as
to be heard by the guards. In the morning,. before
day-light, on the zad, Gen. MUR AT. arrived at'
Vincennes,' escorted by fifty Mamelukes, and ac-
companied with four Aidede-Campa, and Gent-tals.
MORTIER, HULIN, and Louts BotsAtARTR, who
had come on' purpose from the toast, Each • Ma-.
rneluke held -a flambeaux, and 200 gens-d'artnes,
and 300 men'of the Italian troops, surrounded she.
Castle, prevented the approach of every one, and
guarded all the avenues to that part of the wood,
about a hundred yarda distant from. the Castle, fixed
fur the place of execution. The Duke being told
that his sentence was to he executed, said, calmly,
" I am ,ready and'. resigned." . When he heard
upon inquiry, that the grenadiers who should shoot
him, were Italians of BONArARTR'S guard, he said,
"t Thank God ! they are not Frenchmen. I am
condemned by a foreigner, and God be praised, that
my executioners are foreigners too. It will be a
stain less upon myt country Men." At the place
of execution, he lifted. his hands towards Flea.
ven, and said, " MAY -GOD PRESERVE MY KING,
AND DELIVER MY COUNTRY FROM ITs FOR E I Gl7.
YOKE." • Two gens-d'armes they wanted to tie a
handkerchief over Isis eyes; but he said, " A loyal
Soldier, who has so often been exposed to fire and
sword, can see the approach of death with flaked eyes
and without jiar." His hat was then taken off. But
in looking at the grenadiers, who had already pointed
their fusils at him, he said, in Italian, " Glenn-
diers, lower your arms, otherwise you will misrme, or
only (wound ?se." Of the nine grenadiers who fired
at him, seven hit him ; seven bullets pierced his
body. Immediately after his murder, General Mu.
RAT sent his Aid-de-Cantp to Maltnaison. A small
coffin, filled with lime, was ready to receive his
hotly, and a grave had been dug in the garden of the
Castle, where he was buried. Such was the end of
the Duke of ENGH IE N, butchered in the' thirty.
second year of his, age, by the barbarous foreign
Usurper of theAhrotte of-his family. He possessed
the sincere affe4ion, 'not only of his Royal Rela-
tives, but of every
_Frenchman who had served on.
der him, -and of. every person ivhci -kneW him:. He
had not only the esteem, but the friendship of the
Archduke CHrsttLeS, who, during several cam-
paigns,.had been 'assisted by his talents, and wit-
nessed his courage. He was as generous as brave;
and in the age of pleasure,. deptived ,himself of all
enjoyments, to assist his nuinerous distressed'coun.

V. Fen, in rBoi, Baas was sent into exile at
Brussels by Bonaparte, Moreau bought his estate,
Grosbois, belonging formerly to Louis XVIII.
and there he chiefly pax.-,es his time with his ainiab:e
wife, in the company of some few, but chosen friends.
Report says, tits principal occupation is the continu-
ance of the history of his campaigns ; and as he is
as accomplished a writer as an illustrious warrior,
when he favours the world with this publication, it
must be both highly valuable, and greatly interest-
ing.
" Moreau does not approve of the changes Bo-
naparte has made in the Government, more than
of the Peace he concluded with Austria..and Eng-
land : he predided the short duration of the latter,
and he insists on the uncertainty of the former.—He
has often expressed himself, that despot for despot,
he prefers a Bourbon to a Bonaparte, a Frenchman
to a Corsican. He has exposed Bonaparte's inso-
lence towards Foreign Nations, and his tyranny and
oppresSion over-Frenchmen ; he has condemned. the
impudence of his Consulate for life, the shameless-
ness of his nominating a successor, the hypecrisy of
his religious concordat, and the affeaation 'of his
ridiculons Legion of Ho'nour.*. The immorality of
