History CorrcctinK ARD,

One.half of the barber-shops and country
.averns IN Europe, Asia, Africa, America,
and Australia. contain picture OF "NApo'
LEON crossing The Alps" The great soldier
is mounted on an exceedingly large fat
char ger, that is standing upon its hind legs,
and paving the air. Napoleon keeps lsscat'
in defiance of the laws of gravitation. He
wears flowing and voluminous cloak,
which sets off his uniform; with his right
hand he is pointing to the summit OF the
mountains; he appears to be cheering, on
the countless host by which he is preceded
followed and surrounded; and, in general,
is comporting himself like a popular circus
rider. Since M. Theirs narrated the exact
mode in which Napoleon did cross the Alps,
the French artists have beer busy IN rep
resenting it; and we see in our own shop
windows the true version of the story re-
corded in steel-plate engravIngs. Perhaps
some of our readers may not remember the
corrective passage, in Thiers's Consulate
and Empire - ''The arts" says M. Theirs,
"have represented Napoleon bounding a.
cross the snowy Alps on fiery charger
but here is the truth unvarnished. he as
cended Mount St. Bernard mounted on a
mule, dressed in the grey great.coat which
he always wore, conducted by guide OF
the country displaying in the most difficult
baths the abstraction of mind occupied
elsewhere discoursing with the officers
whom he met here and there on the road
and then, at intervals, conversing with the
guide who accompanied him, making him
talk of his life, his pleasures, and his trou-
bles. like some traveller who had no better
occupation" The true picture is infinitely
more pleasing and romantic than the nc
tion, but 1t will be long ereit travels as far.

The correspondent of the n. Y. Courier.
in late letter, presents the following views
of the oft-talked of invasion Of England by
Louis Napoleon, and Of the effect such
movemant would have on the United States:
"The apprehension OF this invasion may
seem TO you chmercal, because OF its sp'
parent impracticabiiity, but the late Duke
of Wellington died in the conviction that 1t
would lie attempted. England Is bcstirrins
herself vigorously and sparing no effort in
the way ofpreparation for the coming shock.
Indeed, since beginning this letter, gen.
tleman Just arrived from the other side OF
The Channel has told me that, so soon as
the Presidents Bordeaux speech, III which
the speaker said, "The Empire is peace"
was reported there, every dock yard man
was set 10 work and every ship out OF com.
mission was overhauled. And we'll does it
behoove the great rival Of France TO be up
and active, if she would succ essiully meet
the onset of such wel.ordcred host as is
now escorting Louis Napoleon 10 the Pal.
ace of the Tuileries.
at is thought that an army SO, 600 strong,
thrown simultaneously on the shores OF
England and Ireland, would furnish ample
employment for all the regulars, not ex.
ceeding 30, 900, which Great Britain has in
hand, although they should be backed by
as many irregulars as could be mustered
