Emperor pissed between 10 review hem,
they were 10 fire on him, and then give
atlle to the rest Of the review if thew
saw fit 10 attack them. A very simple
plan Of murder il was, without complica-
lion.
At twelve o'clock the night befo. e
the review, man, deeply disguished in
furs, presented himself at the ofhce of the
chamberlain Of the imperial residence,
and demanded to see the Emperor. He
was at once informed that the Emperor
had retired for the night, and that he
could not be seen by any body. The
man took the chamberlain aside. and told
him he must see the Emperor, as il was
a matter Of Importance, matter even Of
life and death and after much expostula-
ton, he gained an interview, TIE visitor
was one of The mobiles engaged in the
conspiracy, whose conscience was too
active, and who had determined to save
the life of his sovereign. He revealed
the entire plot to the Emperor, giving
him such proofs rs satisfied him of the
entire truth of the statements. The EN-
peror thanked him, promised to remem.
ber him in future for his devotion, and
gave him directions how to avoid suspi-
cion of having betrayed his fellow con.
spirators.
" The Emperor then retired again 10
rest. The next morning he sent for
few Of the principal officers who were 10
be in command at the review that day,
and who he knew were fast friends of
his. Quietly, and without emotion, he
revealed to these astonished men the cold
blooded plot which had been concocted
against him, and the terrible vengeance
which he intended to wreak. He gave
them their orders. Without any show
of design, the four revoted regiments
were to be isolated, and placed at one
side of the main body. All the other reg
imens were to be provided with ball cart
rige, and the infantry with one hundred
cannon, loaded with grape shot, were to
be drawn up on The side next the doomed
regiments. Everything was arranged
according to the wishes of the Emperor,
without any serious suspicious on the
part of all but the few persons in the Sc
cret, that anything unusual was going 10
take place.
"When the appointed hour for the re-
view arrived, the Emperor, dressed i'll
grand tenue, as a general of division,
rode on 10 the ground rapidly followed at
some distance, by brilliant suite. He
