From Segur's History ofthe Expedition to Russia.
CONFEDERATION OF MOSCOW.
While our troops were yet strug-
Cling with the coDhagration, and the ar
my was disputing their prey with the
flames, Napoleon, whose sleep none
had dared TO disturb during the night,
was awoke by the twofold light of day
and of the fire. His first feeling was
that Of irritation, and he would have
commanded the devouring element
but he soon paused and yielded TO i'm
possibility. Surprised that when he had
struck at The heart of mighty empire
he should find there any other sentiment
than submission ana terror, he felt him
self vanquished and surpassed in deter
mination.
This conquest, for which he had sa.
cri6ced every thing, was like phan-
tom he had pursued, aud which, at the
moment when he imagined he had
grasped it, vanished in mingled mass
of smoke and fame. He rose every
moment, paced TO and fro, and again
sat down abruptly. He traversed his a.
partments with quick steps; his sudden
and vehement gestures betrayed pain
ful uDeasiness; he quilted, resumed, and
again quilted, an urgent occupation, 10
hasten to the windows and watch the
progress of the conhsgration. Short
and incoherent EXPLANATIONS burst from
his labouring bosom. Z" What ire
mendous spectacle 1T is their own
work SO many palaces What ex-
traordinary resolution What men -
These are Scythians indeed!''
Betwe en- the fire and him there was
an extensive vacant place, then the
Moskwa and its two quays; and yet the
panes of the windows against which he
leaned were already burning TO the
touch, and the constant exertion Of
sWeepers, placed on the iron roofs of the
palace, were not sufficient to keep them
clear of the numerous fakes Of fire
which alighted upon them.
AT this moment rumor was spread
that the Kremlin was undermined: this
was confirmed by Russians, and by writ.
ten documents. Some of the attendants
were beside themselves with fear
while the military awaited unmoved
what the orders of the emperor and
fate should decree and to this alarm
the emperor replied only by smile Of
incredibly.
But still he walked convulsively; he
stopped at every window, and beheId
the terrible element consuming his
brilliant conquest seizing on all the
bridges, all the avenues to his fortress,
inclosing, as it we're, besieging him in it
spreading every moment among the
neighboring houses, and reducing him
within narrower and narrower limits,
coDfning him at length to the site Of
the Kremlin alone.
We already breathed nothing but
smoke and ashes. Night approached,
and was about TO add darkness to our
dangers; the equiuoctiaI gales, in ALI.
ance with the Russians, increased in vi.
olence. The king of Naples and prince
Eugene fastened TO The spot: in compa.
ny with the prince of NeufchateI they
made their way to the emperor, and
urged him by their intreaties, their ges.
lures, and on their knees, and insisted
on removing him from this scene of des
olstion, All was in vain.

Mr.. Walter Scott, and The Scotch Novels.
The following circumstances, which
we relate upon good authority, go far TO
identify Sir Walter Scott with the author
ship of those popular novels and tales
generally ascribed to his pen. Some
years ago, Mr.. Joseph Train published
small volume of poems, illustrated by
notes, which evinced considerable anti
quarian research on the part of the su-
thor. Mr.. Train presented Sir (then Mrl
Walter Scott, with copy oftbis volume,
the annotations of which pleased the
Minstrel so much, that he invited the au-
thor to Abbotsford, procured his advance
ment in the Excise, and made very IA
vorable mention of him in the notes 10
one Of his own poems. One Of Mr..
Trains visits took place short time
prior to the publication of Old Mortality,
and the History of the Covenanters;
