BUONAPARTE HALF-POISONED:

The following strat,ge story (says the Times) is
from the Courier: we are not disposed to put
much faith in it :

• • " *Our Paris letter, inserted on the 9th, men-
tioned a pamphlet, just published by M. Cadet
Garsicourt, who was pharmacianto puonaparte.'
Our correspondent D. says, ' that 'this is the
person who, at the desire of the ex.-Emperor,
atter his return from Waterloo, prepared hint it
poison, active, subtle, and inevitable. This he
wore concealed in the cull' of his sleeve, and
tasted it afterwards .at Mahnnison ; but the con.
rage even of heroes sometimes vacillates, and it
• is certain that Buonaparte did not swallow .the
• whole portion. His faithful Mamalnke, who
witnessed the transaction, believed his toaster
poisoned, and ran precipitately to the Doc de
Vicenza (Caulaineourt), to whom he imparted
his fears. The Doe coldly replied, Laissez le
faire,' leave him to himself;' but an instant after
entered into the presence of his fallen master.—
linonaparte himself, from the internal sufferings
he was exposed to, apprehended he had taken too
much, and tinder this idea, depressed, but not
without 'coolness and self-command, took leave
of those who surrounded hint. 1 pledge myself
for the authenticity of this fact. M. de Canlain-
court is now at Paris, or in the neighbourhood,
and will not gainsay mc. If this Nobleman did
not fly to counteract the effects of the poison, it
was because he conceived it was the only, refuge
from sbame and humiliation, the least painful de-
noument of so unprecedented an elevation and
so abject a downfal."
If the story be stringe it is by no means new, baring
appeared In at least ball a dozen of publications many
months 'ago !
