FONTAINDLZAU, APRIL 20.
All those who were near and observant of Bona-
parte at the moment of his departure, have been
:.truck at the want of sensibility and affection which he
really manifested to those about him. Not one trait
of genuine emotion—not one word from the heart
*narked him susceptible of the least cordial feeling or
attachment. It is thought, that he feared his loss
would occafion little or no regret, as his few linger-
ing attendants bad abandoned him ; and on the eve
of his departure, be had but one servant remaining.
He received the adieus of his ealest companions in
arms without addressing a single word of cordiality
or friendship ; and the man, who played so many

time to intorm him of his future destiny. We are ig.

It was only in getting into his carriage that he shed

RIONTARGIS, APRIL 2.3.
Bonaparte passed through this town on Wednes-
day, at four o'clock in the afternoon, in a carriage
drawn by tix horses, with about 25 horse soldiers fol-
lowing. the Russian, Austrian, French, English,
and Prussian Generals, and their immediate atten.
dents, occupied six other carriages, each drawn. by six
horses. These were followed by '2O carriages, con-
taining the baggage and domestic attendants of Bo-
naparte. Some draft and led horses, and picquets of
cavalry passed in the morning. The foot soldiers of
this cantonment Were under arms ; they knew how
to respect the misfortunes of Bonaparte, and preserved
a strict silence, neither manifesting any sign of disap-
probation, or the reverse; Bonaparte passed the front
of those brave troops, and on entering the town,
affected an air of caltnness saluting on the right and
on the left, those persons who appeared at the win-
dows from motives of curiosity. Numbers reproach
him on the score of insensibility t the fact is, that few
fvel any interest about him. General Bertrand was
in the same carriage, and appeared much more affec-
ted than his master. Bonaparte will sleep at the
Chateau of Briate ; he makes short days journies,
and proceeds next on the route to St. l'ropea.
