Or BONAPh RTE.
The Count of Warsburg Truchess, who
was the Commissioners appointed by the Rus
sian Government to accompany Bonapar,e tul
Eiba, has published account OF his Jour-
ney, under the title of" New Itinerary of
Napoleon Bonapsrte, from Fountanbleau to
the Island ofElba." The following is a brief
view of the nature of the work.
The Count of Waldburg arrived at Fon-
tainbeau on the evening OF the 10th OF April,
1914, whittier the English and Russian Com
mlssioners, who were also to accompany Ma
poeon to Frejus, and superEtend his embar-
kation, had already repaired
The 18th was the day appointed for their
departure. which Napoleon found means to
postpone to the 21st; but as it could no lon
ger be deferred he set out at nom in calash.
accompanied by tie four Commissioners, and
nine carriages for his suite. That day they
travelled to Nevers where the last detach-
ments OF the guard distributed on his route
were stationed, On arriving at Viiia-neuve-
sur-allieT, the guard whioh had followed Boz
naparte ceased to accompany him, and con-
sequently the cries, of Viue IEmbereur :
which had been hitherto heard on his passage,
also ceased suddenly. Bonapartc likewise
began to lower his Zone, without, however,
falling 10 that excess OF debasement which
he afterwards exhibited. lie could still affect
galety, and on one of those occasions, cUm-
pairing his past with his present state, he
made this consoing reflection, which We can
not refrain from now recalling to the atten-
ton ofhis psrtisans.-"Oh casting up the &C
counts have los, n0tiing-I began with six
francs in my pocket, aad retire very rich.n

seemed to revive his spirits. Bnt in proper
ton as we proceeded southwark the stronger
were the sentiments of the people expressed,
and the greater the depression of Bonaparte.
On passing Orange, fear Ito 81 We it its proper
nane) took complete possession of him.
ut Organ Count Schuwaloif who was on
one side of Bonaparte's carriage, harrangued
the populace in these terms -"Are YOU
not ashamedto insult the unfortunate and the
deienceless He who ssucied ne was to rive
laws to the universe is sufficiently punished
by the wretched situation in which he is pia-
ced Leave him to himsef-Look at him
DO you not perceive that contempt IS the only
weapon which ought to be employed against
this man who has ceased to be dangerous.
The people applauded this address, and
BonaParte seeing the effect it produced, made
signs OF appreciation to Count Schuwalcf, nd
afterwards thanked him for the service he had
rendered him.
" quarter of a league further on he dres-
sed himself in shabby blue great coat, and
round bat with large white cockade, and
galloped before his carriage on post horse.
We did not come up with him till within half
a league of st. Canal. His suite, from the
General to the scullion, had displayed " bite
cockades, suitable provision of which he ap-
Peared TO have made beforehand. At the inn
OF anat, he WAS announced as Col Campbell
and when we visited him in his chamber,
We found him weeping We sat down to la
bic, but as his own cooks had not prepared
the dinner, he would not eat for fear of being
poisoned. However, as he was ashamed of
the terror which had seized him, he took
some of every thing offered him, taking care
however to send back his plate untouched
or to throw the meat under the table, to make
it appear that he had eaten what was given
to him. All that he dined OH was a little
bread and sone wine, a bottle of which he
Caused to be brought from his carriage and
shared it with us.
When we were alone, lie Showed how
much he believed his life in danger, and to
prove that his fear was well founded, he rela-
ted what had passed between him and the
landlady who had not recognised him. Adj
dressing him, she said, "havc you met with
BOnaparte ~" No" ''I am curious to know
whether he will escape think the eople
will massacre him, and am sure the villain
we'll deserves 1t but tell me, are they going
to embark him for his island ;" :: Yes" "Wiil
they rot drown him - hope So" was
Napoleon and on telling the story to
us, he said, " You see to what dangers ! am
exposed"
"After this he fatigued his escort with his
apprehension and irresolu;ion Fearing the in
hsbitants Of AK, he wished to return to
Lyons to take another route, but his great
embarrassment washOw to get out Of the Inn 4
at Canal. lie wished to learn whether there
was not some concealed door by which
he might escape, or whether the window,
the blinds of which he had drawn the moment
he arrived, was not too high TO be leaped. He
was exceedingly vexcd on being informed
that c window had grating on the outside.
