PORTRAIT OF NAPOLEON.

LOUIS BoNAPARTE, the deposed King of Hol-
land, in answer 10 Sir Walter SCOTS History
of Napoleon, has given the annexed portrait Of
his brother:
The character OF Napoleon, from earliest in
fancy, announced what he was 10 be; and the
preseniment wasnever belied. He was, above
every thing, pre-eminently a Frenchman-nay,
he perhaps carried that affection to excess.
That he loved glory with the most ardent pas
sion, cannot be denied. He may certainly me.
rit those reproacbes which Alexander, Charlie
magne, and SO many heroes, deserved much
more than himself. However, upon that head,
he has explained himself in the most precise
manner, and no other person could have an

but il will be averred, as well BY those who
knew him as posterity, that shall judge his me-

A Lark, one lovely morn espie
In window of country seat,
A Linnet that poured forth with pride
Its varied warblinss rich and sweet,
The Linnet had a splendid cage,
Was fed and tended by the hand
of care-caressed by youth and age,
And by the fow'r Of Beaut, 5 band.
"wha, do you here ?" began the Lark,
"Come rise with me to meet the sun
Come leave that roost, and quickly-mark'
"The glorious rising's near begun"
"Friend," quoth the Linnet, "tarry here,
"And taste the life that enjoy;
"'Tis better than yon upper sphere,
"The ever-spending wings employ.
"Here, without one, one irksome thought,
al in my bright wired palace dwell
"E'en to my mouth the food is brought
"My plumage praised by every belle.
"Inever have a wish to roam
Sim ever blest as now you see
Give up your jaun,-make this your home'
And have, for aye, felicity"

Turned from the Linnet's cow'rng eye,
And instant rising, proudly took
