the carriage with /relines which I shall not attempt to
pourfiay. "You need not be afraid," sald the Count,

the Emperor won't eat you." I assured him that I
was nnt afraid of that, and that he, who had nothing to
fear, was shivering with the cold as much as I was.
This remark, however, made me summon up more

resolution than a youth of sixteen might othe►wise have
felt under such circumstances: I had reminded Mr.

R'gel that it was now my turn to be examined firs•.
We walked hastily across the streetiand after ascending
a staircase, found ourselves in•the antechamber. in wh.chi

there were a number of officers. and where I observed

Also some materials for breakfast. The Count opened
a door, and beckoned me to follow him. I heard him

say, 44 Behold, sire, the young Englishman, of wh"m I
have just spoken to your Majesty. The door closed as
soon as I entered the room. I male a lnw bow ; and,

on raking my eyes from the ground, perceived stand-
ing before me a little figure, arrayed in a white-night-
cap and dreping-gown ; an officer in uniform, whom I
found to be Marshal Berthier. the Minister at War, was
standing by his side. The Emperor stood still, with his
arms crossed, and a, cup of coffee in his right hand ; he
surveyed me attentively, and said, " Who are you r'
My reply was, " Sire, 1 am a subject of his Britannie
Maje,ty.' " Where do you come from?" " Sire, I
come from Gotha in &army ; and in going from thence
,to Leipzic, I was detained by some soldiers of the ad-
vanced guard, who brought me to the house of the
Grand Duke of Berg, at Gera, and his Highness sent
me here to have the honour of being examined by rur
Majlsty." "Which road did you come by ?" " Sire,
I came by Weimer, Erfurt, and Jena ; from whence,
not having been able to procure horses to take us further
titan Gleina —." " Where is-G elms, And what is it ?"
"Sire, Gleina is a small village belonging to the Duke
of Gotha."

On hearing that I had passed through these two
places, he paused, Pad then said,, " Trace out the plan
of your route." He then sat down at a table on which
'a map of Germany- was spread, in every respect similar
to the one which I had seen at. the Grand Duke's.
Berthier was seated at a smaller table, in the corner of
the room, to take niues of what passed. I stood at
Napoleon's h-ft hand, and o.e Count placed himself
mictly opposite. Maporroi,, as soon as he had seated
himself, placed his light elbow on the table, and leaning
his face upon his thumb and lo e finger, I caked rue full in
the face, illlll said, " On what day did you leave Gotha?"
At that moment I had forgotten the exv t day of our
departure; anal knowing the great import ince of accuy -
racy in regard to dates, 1 began to calculate backwards
from that day,, to the o,ie upon which we kit Gla.
This pone, though but a short one, excited the Empe-
ror's impatience, and he repeated, in rather an angry
tone, " 1 ask you, what day diJ you leave Gotha ?"
His abrupt manner, and a significant, look, which I saw
him etch loge with Berthier, would have very much
interrupted my calculation, had I not fortunately at that
moment c 'ncluded it, and namei the enact day of our
departure. He then looked for Gotha iat the map, and
asked me a number of questions as to the strength of
the Prussians in that place,—the reports prevalent in
regard to their probable movements, &c. He next sought
out Erfurt, and inquired whether I had observed any
troops in motion betwten the two places? He was very
minute in his interrogatories with regard to Erfurt.
He asked- how strong the garrison Ma, there I re-
plied, that this was a point which I had nut had an
olsportunity to ascertain. He asked me if I had been at
the parade ? I repled in the affirmative. " How many
regiments were present?" Sire, I cannot tell—the
Duke of Brunswick was then at Erfurt, and there seemed

to be almost as many officers as soldiers assembled on
the parade. "Is Erfurt a well fortified town?" " Sire,
I -know very little about the strength of fortifications."
Is there a castle at Erfurt ?" Upon this point I felt
some doubts ; butt was afraid to plead ignorance again,
lest he should imagine it was feigned. 1 therefore boldly
said, "Yes, Sire, there is a castle." After inquiring
whether I had m.de any obeervations on the road be.
tweets Erfurt and Weimar, he proceeded to question me
minutely as to the "state 4 the latter place,—the number
of t (fops qualm ad there,—the destination of the Grand
Duke, kc.
On my mentioning that Jena was the nest place at
syhich we stopped, Napoleon did not immediately dis-
cover its eract situation on the map. I therefore had
the honour to point to it with my anger, and show him
the place at which he so soon afterwards achieved so
brilliant and decisive a victory. He inquired wl o com-
manded at Jena,—what was the state of the town,—,
whether I knew any particulars about the garrison, ace.
and then made similar inquiries with regard to tileintl
and the intervening road.
Having followed up the investigation until the ma•
ment when we were attested, lie paused, and !coked at
me very earnestly. I may here remark, that he put no
quesi ns to nue in rega,d to my parentage or sonatina
in life. I presome that ihese particular s had been fully
explained to him by Count Fiolsbeig. How," said l.e,
