NAPOLEON BONAPARTE.
Napoleon Bonararte, it is said, died at the
age of 81, bcing born August 9th, 1868. He
called himselfone year younger; he made this
misrepresentation for fear of the reproach of
not being a Frcnchnan, as Corsica was not
united To Frafsce till 1760. During the year

fond of talking of The events in which he had
taken part and of the men he had employed.
His conversation often turned to the actual
state of aiilirs in Europe, of which, for the two
ilrst years he had but an imperfect idea; only
now and then a few numbers of the Courier
would reach him.--Then he began To study
the English language, and in little time learn-

RUSSIA AND TURKEY.
The London Courier speaking OF the affairs
Of Turkey, says" the intelligence brought by
the foreign arrivals leaves us in doubt as to
what may he the definite measures of Russia
with respect TO Turkey. As far as rumors
nay be credited, indeed, there is every APP

accounts add that the preliminary act Of hos
