ON TIVE DEATH OF LORD BYRON.

Wv
aRsar high thy bleak majestic hills,
Inv sheltered vallics proudly spread;
And England, pour thy thousand rils,
And wave thy hcaths with blossoms red.
But ah ! what poet now shall tread
Thy airy heights, thy wide domain;
Since ne, the sweetest bard, is dead,
That ever bveath'd the soothing strain
Hang year harps Ger the waters TO weep,
Yhe sweetest of poets is dead!
He slumbcrs in deaths silent sleep,
Aud the cypress waves over his head!
Drop, We willows, your pearls O CT MS loihp'
All nature in sadness appear;
let TN, r,eon be cpvclepcd in gloom,
And its halo be dimmd with u tear!
The bard who late strung his Tyre
The cold urn shall warp i'll its breast;
That bosom which love did inspire,
Eternity points to its rest!
No more the sweet maidens Of Greece,
Eurapturcd, shall dwell en- his name;
The harp, with its masters ut peace,
And lost its PTometheau lame
No friend of his youth closed his eyes.
MOI soften'd his pillow of care;
No wife mingled tears with his signs,
Nor child OF his bosom was there
The heart which for liberty hrcathd,
Lies embaln'd in the land of the brave;
Whose sword shall never be shcathd,
Till it vanquish The coward and slave!

ANECDOTE.

AT the time that Francis +. Of
France was taken prisoner at the bat
tie of Pavia, one of his officers, the
yalorous Chevalier Bauregard, smit-
ten by the charms of an italian lady
named Aurelia, of a noble family,
declared his passion to her. Azure
liza, although she was battered by the
declaration, refused his pretensions,
on the grounds Of the levity of the
French character aud their national
indiscreiion. The extreme violence
Of the Chevalier's love urged him to
propose to the lady to put his con-
stancy to any proof she could think
proper. Aurelia accepted bis propo-
sition, and engaged 10 marry him if
he would consent to remain dumb for
six months. The Chevalier promis>
ed, and from that moment never e-
pened his lips. lie retarned to Paris
amoag his friends and relations, who
Iamented the singular in6rmity he
had brought with him from the army.
Bauregard expressed himself oaIy by
signs; the physicians were sent for,
he refused their assistance. The
captive King was at length restored
to his people. but his joy at bis re-
turn was lessened by the situation of
the unfortunate Chevalier, who was
honored with the Kings particular
friendship. Francis sent his best doc
tors TO his fayorite, who this time
accepted their medicines, but to no
effect. The Kings attachment went
so far as to employ even the Char
latans, who in his time as we'll as at
present. pretended to possess spcci.
fics for all evils. He even called in
those who dealt in charms, but to no
purpose. All the Court was hopeless
at his core, when a fair fortunc-tel.
Ter presented herself, and wrote to
the King that she would undertake
the restoration of the Chevalier to
his speech. Being sent for, she was
introduced to Bauregard, when she
addressed him by the single word
Speak!!y Bauregard Immediately
recognised in the stranger his beloy>
ed Aurelia. who had long witnessed
his constancy and devotion. Fran
els was sensibly effected at the event.

MISCELLANY.
MEMOIRS OF FOUCHE, By
HIMSELF.

We copied (says a Boston paper,)
q few days ago, from the London
Courier, an extract from the work
under this title. We now copy from
the same paper the following notice
of the work.
A publication has just made its ap-
pearance in Paris, which. as an his
torical monament, must be regarded
with great curiosity. We speak of
.The Memoirs of Fouche,' a postum.
NOUS work Of that notorious ckarsC-
ter. Nine years ago, when he was
minister of police to Louis XVIII. a
short sketch of his life appeared i'm
England, which, so far as it went.
driineated him much more correctly
than his own partial pen. 1t spoke
Of his atrocities in 1898 and 1894
1t cited his own recorded statements
of the Churches he had plundered.
and the tnassacres that he had perpe-
srated. These things he OF course
throws into shade. He declares that
he was never member of any OF the
Revolutionary Committees. This is
true, as regards the Committees Of
Government ia Paris; but at Lyon
lie presided for many weeks in a Re-
evolutionary Committee, which day
after day slaughtered 60, 80, 100,
500, individuals at time. In short,
Robespierre himself was not more
sanguimary monster. But the actions
Of F0uche are well known; and if
they were rot, We could not expect
to find them faithfully related by him
self. His opinions on other events
and persons are more likely to be i'm
partial, & they are abHndantly Carl
Gus. He is not enc of those who think
that the Revolution was inevitable
On the contrary, he says that it Louis
XVI. had had the firmness to dissolve
tho National Assembly, he might have
safe on his throne to this hour; and
lac expressly declares that the Bastille
would net have been attacked on the
i4th July, if the Generals had done
their duty on the 18th.
Alter the murder Of the benevolent
Leuis, the Government was seized
by the National Convention. Let us
hear how Fonche describes this pow.

The following animated composition,
written by w. G.. Read, captain OF tbe
Baltimore Grenadiers, was sung at the en-

The memorable 18th of Brumaire
found Fouche Minister Of Police to
the Directory. It's carious to OBJ
serve him (unconsciously as it were)
exposing his own perlidy on that oc-
.casion. He knew all Bonaparte's
intrignes to get possession ofthe Con
,salship; he knew that the struggle.
was TO take place that morning at.
st. Cloud: but he was doubtful ofthe
event. He therefore took ne step
one way or the other. but sat at Pa
ris surrounded by his police agents.
his eye on both parties, sending eut
spies every FIVE minutes, and receiv-
ing intelligence as frequently, until
the sword lof Bonaparte had cat the
Gordian knot. Thea he fastened to
salute the victor. and was rewarded
by being continued in his post as Mi
mister OF Police.
1t has often been observed that Bo-
naparte, at the time OF which we are
speaking. showed himself far 4nferI.
or to our Cromwell; and Fouche's
picture of the scene, which is drawn
with great IiveIiness. fully confirms
the remark. CromwelI's conduct WAS
cool. deliberate and fra, and the act
was wholly his own. The part which
Bonaparte had to play was chalked
out for HIM by Sieyes, Tafleyrand,
and others; and he would have failed
in the performance it it had not been
for the energy of his brother Lucien,
and the decision Of Murst. Even in
the Council Of Ancients, where his
adherents formed a majority, lie de-
Iiyered his speech with Much hesita-
ton 4 disorder; but when he came to
address the Council of Five Hundred
he turned pale, and trembled at the
opposition which he encountered, and
was actually carried out OF the Hall
by his ewn soldiers.
FouChe mentions an incident, which,
to those who know the local situation
Of the Palace OF St. Cloud. strongly
marks the state Of in decision into
which Bonaparte was thrown. No
sooner had he escaped from the Hall.
than he mounted his horse. and gall
loped down the avenue, distance of
above quarter of mile, to the
bridge leading towards Paris. Near
this spot was Sieyes waiting in
post-chaise With six horses. Murat
joined them at the bridge. He it was
that decided Bonaparte to turn back
and lead the troops against the Legis.
lative Body; while Lucien as Presi'
dent of the Council of Five Hundred,
lent the cloak of his authority to the
forcibIe dissolution of the Govern
meat. These details give o tone and
color to the transaction very differ
ent from what is commonly imagined,
and we see in them traits perfectly
consistent with The flight from the
Army ia Russia, aud the Sauce OUT
peut at Waterloo.
