." / was much furprifed ar feeling in
Bonaparte's appeal to the Britifh nation,
that he had incurred danger in wifhing
to fave Mofcow from the conRagration in
1914 His amazing efforts and great
nefs Of mind were. however, limited to
mounting his horfe as ioon as the FIRE ap.
peared, and galloping TO the difance of
two Engliih miles from .hc town in or.
oerr place himfelf in fafeiy. He pafIed
three days and three nights in a palace
in the m'dit of a corps of troops, who
bivouacked, nd only returned to Moi

ed 7 r32 houfes. was well informed

the Kremlin, among others, and TO the
cattle Of Peiroufky, which had ferved
him as an afylum during the great con-
fagraiion Perhaps this was done by
him as an act OF kindneis, with the in.
tention of purifying them by FIRE from.
the evils he bad been the fource of.
From the tone cf this appeal it would
feem, that he dictated il at the moment
when his mind was guided by the same
feelings as during his paiIage to the iiland
of Sr Helena in 1915; aud he appears
unwilling TO forgel the lfyle of his bull
letins. which serves proof that habit
