During the Congress at Lunde'lle. the First Consul, being in-
formed that the Government messengers were In the habit of carry-
ing various things in their trunks, and particularly delicate dishes
for persons high its favour, gave orders that in future this prac-
tice should be discontinued, and that they should carry nothing
but dispatches. The same evening Cambaceres entered the saloon,
where I was alone with the First Consul, who bad already laughed
most heartily at the embarrassment this measure would cause to
his wortby colleague. " Well, what is the matter at this late hour,
Casnbaceres?" " I come to ask an exemption from the order you
have given to the Postmaster General. How will it be possible to
make friends, if we cannot give them requisite dishes any more?
You know yourself that it is in a great measure by the table one
reigns." The First Consul laughed a great deal, called him a
Gourmand, and concluded by telling him, whilst tapping hint
gently on the *boulder : " Console yourself, my dear Cambaceres ;
don't put yourself uut of temper : the messengers shall continue to
carry your Dines aux teufes, your Pales de Strasbourg, your lam-
boss de Marilee, and your Bartneefies."

After the peace of Amisos, the First Consul was occupied is
appointing an Ambassador to England : be fixed his eyes, I hardly
know why, on General Andreosal. I took the liberty of making
a few observations on a choice which appeared to me little calcu-
lated to answer the high importance of the mission. He answered
me—" It is not finally determined upon ; I will speak to Tel-
leyrand." The same evening Tatleyrand came to transact business,
with him : we were thee at hialtnaison. The question arose re-
specting the appointment of an Ambassador to England. The
First Consul mentioned several persons, and said afterwards-.." Il
have a mind to appoint Andreoesi." TaUeyrand, who was soy-
thing but well disposed for this choice, answered with a witty and',
sarcastic air—" You intend to appoint Andre-mad / (Andre also.)
Who Is this Andre ?" "I do not speak to you about an Andre ;
11 speak about Audreossi ; don't you know him ?" " Par dieul—
Aodreossl, General of Artillery. Andreosd, oh! yes, yes,.it Is
true, Andreossi ; I did not think of him. I went over the•Nist of
the Diplomatic Body, and could mot find his name. It is true—yes,
yes, it is true, he is in the Artillery." The First Consul spoke
then of General Andreossi in terms -to make Tall eyrand under-
stand he intended that General of Artillery for the Embassy to
London. He proceeded on his mission after the peace of Amiens
in 1802, and returned a few months afterwards, having hardly bad
time to establish himself. There was not much to do, which salted
him : in fact, he did nothing.

It was In the beginning of 1801, that Fulton presented to the
First Consul his memorial respecting steamboats. I suggested
that so important a discovery deserved to be mostly examined.
" Pah," said he, " all these inventors, all these projectors. are
either intriguers or visionaries : don't speak to me any more abeut
them." I observed, that the individual whom he designated as
an intriguer, only brought to light again an invention already known
—that Franklin had written to one of his friends, a Doctor, as fat
back as 1788, " that there was nothing new at that moment in the
shape of physical sciences, except a beat which had been put in
motion by a steam engine, and proceeds up the river by its own
power. The opinion is that the construction may be simplified
and perfected so as to become of general use ;"—that the discovery
of this power was of an old date, and ought not to be rejected
without due investigation of its utility. But he would hear nothing
about it. In this manner was adjourued, to an indefiulte period.
an enterpri.e calculated to give so great an impulse to industry and
the system of navigation. The same circumttance often occurs ;
it establishes the error of pushing too far the idea of distrust in pro-
jectors: nothing obliges us to admit the truth of what they ad-
vance, but on the other hand nothing, justifies a refusal to examine
their plans. Fulton went to America. and availing himself of the
knowledge he had acquired In England and France, built, three
years later, at New York, the first steam-boat which proved suc-
cessful. France might, many yetirs earlier, have derived the bene-
fit of this powerful mover applied' to navigation, and which has so
considerably promoted industry.
