BONAPARTE.
!ROM Kin TLVPIPTiteII TOUR IN FRANCE.
(Coutinsted from err Paper of December 11.)
Net very long after the institution of Saint Cyr
was broken up, when Napoleon went to Paris for
the purtiose of escorting home his eldest sister, wh6
it has been said was a pupil there • at this time there
was a club held in Paris, affiliatea in some sort with
the great pareht of all the clubs in France, that of
the Jacebine. Among, the Members of this club, it
was a humour frequently to exchange names with
each other' as a testimony of friendship and brother-
hood. Napoleon was a frequent attendant at its
meetings, during the short time that he now remain-
ed in Paris ; and this circumstance seems to have
given occasion to a whimsical idea circulated in a
pamphlet, published a few years ago in London.—
It is there asserted, that Napoleon being much ac-
quainted with a Scotch Gentleman of the name of
Oswald, who was a member of the club, they awed
to exchange names, so that, in fact, the person win)
now bears the name of Napoleon Bonaparte is the
Scotchnutn Me. Oswald, while the real Bonaparte,
under the name of Oswald, waskilled 'fighting in the
Conventional Army in La Vendee. So far is true, as
that a Scotch Gentleman of the name of Oswald, did
belong to this club ; he had been originally in the
service of Euglish East Indip Company, but being
embarrassed with debts fled his country to avoid im-
prisonment ; when seeking an asylum in France, he
enteral into the service of the French Republic, and
lost his life fighting' against the Vendean insurgents.
Re left a widow and two sons; who, having been
strongly recommended to the Emperor's mother, she
gives the widow a pension, and has procured Com-
missions in the army fo • the twosons. It is not a
little remarkable, that any subject of Great Britain
should have thought of claiming Bonaparte as ,a fel-
low-countryman.
From this time till the beginning of 1793, Bona-
parte remained in Corsica, only pursuing his stu-
dies, and going through the ordinary routine of his
profession while in inaction. Nis leisure hours were
very much occupied in cempiling the lives of illus-
trious Corsicans, after leer of Petarcl'i, par-
ticularly of thee., patriots who had distinguished
items:Ales at various times in lighting for the inde-
pendence of the country. Two Wations of his mo-
ther, a father and son, who ' ad fallen in the de-
fence of Ajaccie, againse the Genoese, in 1762, were
among the number of these. Ile mid made a cowl-
derable progress in this work ; but when afterwards
he was calltd into a life of incessant bustle and acti-
vity,
was perpetually moving from place to place,
the manuscript was unfortunately lost. Great pains
have been subsequently taken by his brother Joseph
to find out what became of it, and to recover it, but
without success. Napoleon was always an enthu-
elastic admirer of Plutarch; and while a youth, was
*ever without a volume of his Biography in his
possession. He has been also reported by some of
his English biographers to have been passionately
fond of Ossian ; but this is a mistake : indeed the
works of Ossian were at that time scarcely known in
