from Bonaparte ate exceediagly curious. They exhibit
that astonishing man in a in which he has refer
hitherto been scan—th it of a tendcr I,:ver and warmly
aTectionate hu,bavd. Mr. Tennant has given the cor•
respondence between himself and the individual from
whom he received these curious documents, in x% hick
the manner in which they came iuto the possession of
thatindividull is explained. " 1 obtaired," he says,
the letter; in queqion through a person attaclled to
the Ernpiets, and wl.o was deeply in her confidence.
Tee letters were given me a few days after the dea-th of
the Empress, v.ithoat any views of interest, the charac-
ter of the person to whom I am indvhtcd fru' the posses-
don of them being above every suspicion of frand."—
fhe following ate a selection from these letters:

[Of this letter Mr. Tennant observes, it is without a date ; but
from the style and address it should seem to have been written by
Napoleon, at Paris, just before his marriage with Josephine.]
" SEVEN O°CI.CCK IN THE MORNINCI.-1. awoke Inn of
thee; thy portrait, and the recollection of the intoxica-
ing evening of yesterday, have left no repose in my
mind. Sweet and incomparable Josephine! what a
curious effect have you had on my heart. Will you be
angry? Are you sorrowful? Ate you disturbed?
My soul is broken with grief, and there is no place of
repose for your ft iend. But is there snore repose for me
when, delivering ourselves up to the dm, sentiment
which overpowers lite, I take from your lips and your
heart a flame %shies burns me ? Al: ! it was this night
that I became truly sensible your portrait is not your-
self. Thou a: tto set out et man ; I shall see thee ar in
in tinee bouts. In the meantime, inio dace atnor, re-
ceive a thotr,and ki,ses, but do not give me any, fur
they burn my blood.

[TN!' letter, Mr. Tennant remarks, is dared the 14th Germinal
(4th April). On the 9.7 th of IMatch, Bonaparte arrived atfirad-
quarters at Nice. Finding the army badly provisioned, he removed
his head-quarters to Alhenga.)
Punt MAURICE, THE 14111 GERmiNAT..—I hare re-
ceived all the letters, but no one of them made the same
impression on me as the last. Dost thou think, my dear
love, of the consequences of writing to me in these terms?
Dost thou believe that my situation is not cruel enough
already, vs itliout increasing my regret, and disturbing
my soul? What style, what sentiments those thou de-
scribest ; they are of file; they burn my poor heart. My
sole Josephine, away from thee there is no joy—away
from thee the world is a dc!err, where I remain solitary,
and without feeling the pleasure of unbosonring myself;
thou halt taken an ay more th.;il my soul ; thou art the
sole thought of my life. If lam annoyed by the com-
plexity of business, if I tear its results, if people disgust
me, if I am ready to curse existence, I put my hand
on my heart, thy portrait beats there—l look at it, and
love is for me absolute happiness, and everything is
smiling except the season I am still absent from my love.
By what ar t bast thou captivated all my faculties—con-
centrated in thyself my whole moral existence? it is
magic, my sweet love, that Enid' only with my
life. To live for Josephine is the history of my days. I
act to come near thee—l die to approach thee. Mad-
man, I do not perceive that I am banishing myself—
What countries what dominions divide us! What a
length of tune before thou wilt read these characters—
feeble expressions of a loving heart, where thou reignest.
Ah, my lovely woman, I know not what will be my
fate it it keeps me still longer from thee ; it will be in.
supportable; my courage does nut extend to this. There
was a time when I prided myself in my courage, and
sometimes in casting my eyes on the mischiervehich men
may do me, or the fate which destiny may yet reserve
for me ; 1 brave the most unheard.of evils without Aid-
der ing, without astonishment; but now the idea that
my Josephine may be ill, and particularly the crud,
the racking thought that she may love me less, wounds
my soul, checks my blood, renders me sorrowful,
downcast, does not even leave me the courage and the
madness of despair. I formerly said to myself, men
can do nothing against him who dies without regret ;
but row to die without being loved by thee—to die
without this certainty is the torment cf hell, it is the
living and striking image of absolute annihilation.
It seems to me as if I were suffocated. My only
companion, thou whom late has destined to make
with me the painful voyage of life, the day when
I shall no longer possess thy heart, nature will be arid
for me without heat and without vegetation. I stop,
my sweet love my soul is sorrowful, my body is fa-
tigued, my mind is confused ; people weary me, I ought
to detest them—they separate me from my own heart.
I :on at Port Maurice, near Oneilie ; to-morrow I am
to be at Aibenga ; th.: two armies are in motion; we
endeavour to deceive each other—victory to the most
skilful. I am contented enough with Beaulieu ; if he..
alarms me a good deal he is stronger than his prede-
cessor. I hope I shall be at him in tine style. Be not
uneasy; love me as thy eyes; but it is not enough to
love rue as thyself—more than thyself, than thy thought,
thy mind, thy sight, thy all. Sweet love, pardon me,
I forget nature is weak, for those who I.el strongly for
him whim thou aniMateSto 41 N.

• 44 ALBENGA, THE iGTII GERMINAL (APRIL 6).—lt is
one o'cluc k, after midi, ißl,t, and a letter has been brought
me which is sorrolAful; my soul is affected—it tells ml
of the death of Chauvet. He was Commissary-in-Cbid
to the At toy. Thou hat scinetimes seen him, my 10,4p0
at Barras'. I fed t! e want of consolation it is in writtn;

to thee alone, the thought of whom has so much influ-
ence on the moral situation of my ideas—to you I must
unbosom myself—of my sorrow, what is the future?
what is the past? what ate we ? what magic fluid en-
viron us, and conceals from us the things which-it most
imports us to know? we are born, we liveo‘e die in the
midst of wonders. Is it astonishing that Nests, Astro-
logers, Charlatans, have profited by this penchant. by
this singular circumstance, to keep our ideas in leading-
strings, and direct them according to their dei•ires ?
Chauvet is dead, he was attached to me; he has per-
formed important services for our country. Ilk last
word was, that he mould set out to join me. les, in-
deed, I see his shade ; he wanders there, everywhere;
he makes a noise in the air ; his soul k in the clouds
he will be propitious to my destiny. But, madman, I'
lied tears for Irieniship, :ind who will tell me that I
have not otheis to shed for- an ineparable calamity?
Life of my life, write to me by every courier, otherwise
I shall not be able to live. lam Touch occupied here..
Beaulieu hes put his army in motion; we are in the pre-
sence of each other. .I am somewhat fatigued, and
every day I am on horseback. Adieu, adieu, adieu
w ill go to sleep ; sleep coo.ules me ; it places thee at
my ; I close thee in my arms. But when I wake,

last, but it was not in Banaparte's hand-wiitiug. •
