The following anecdote rens, it is laid, on the au-
thority of M. JIAN Da ST. FAUST, who commanded
and was taken on board l'Honneur fchooner, by the
Scoapuos floop of war (tee Tuefday's Gazette).—
He quitted Paris at the beginning of the prefent
month, and bad only failed one day from Dolzyel
when captured.
A few days before his quitting Paris BnNAPARTZ
bad commanded a Play at the Theatre Francais, and
in the ufual flyle of Sovereigns, he appeared there
with a brilliant retinue, and a very numerous guard.
The houfe overflowed in every part. He was feated
in his box, and the curtain about to rife, when an
orange, apparently artificial, was thrown upon the
flagefeveral voices exclaimed, " Ouvrez Pc range."
(Open the Orange !) The cry was repeated and re-
echoed through every part of the hook.
A principal actor came forward, and in compliance
with the univerfal with opened the orange, wherein
he found a paper, containing a zo livre piece of gold
coin. Several voices again exclaimed, "Lifiz le papier.
Lifez papier 1 !"—( Read the paper. Read the paper.)
It was again repeated with like earneflnefs and entho.
(lam as before,. the hoar refoonding in many parts,
with the tumultuous outcry. But before he complied,
the cautious Adkor looked towards the Imperial Box,
when BowAr.ters, fancying it might be Come adula-
tory compliment to himfelf, nodded affent. The
houfe was fluent as the grave—ashen the Actor read
aloud the following words ;
" Jens is Code,prews von. Louis! !"
Renounce the cerlican, and rritore your Louts."
The rapturous burg of applanfe which alined from
every part of the houfe On there wnrds'being uttered,
was not to be 'eleferibed—it appeared to rend the
Houfe. &mamma heird it as his knell; and quit•
ring the 'Theatre, returned to his palace in the utmoft
contulion and difmay.
