Austria. I" How could ! have escaped
from Elba," he said, s but with the con-
sent of the English, whose ships lowered
on every side, and whose commissioner
was my daily companion" With Aus
tria, he added, he had made a truce tor
twenty years-asserting that the Arch
duke Charles was actually with him, and
the empress Maria Louisa and the young
king of France were on their journey to
France. These statements he spread
every where, asserting in addition that
the allies were not sorry to see the B0ur-
bons deprived of the throne, on account
of their unwillingness to abolish the slave
trade.

have more than once exclaimed, g Je
