~ VI. Gaillardet the Paris correspondent of the
Courier DIES Flats Unis, says manuscript of 20
pages written by Napoleon in st. Helena, has been
discovered and is likely to produce lively sensation.
1t is sort of biography, and is designed to justify
his policy in the eyes OF his and Of France. The
style is buetinie, and each sentence makes report
The royalist conspirators are severely handled The
death Of the Duke dEnghien is defended at length,
and liberty is proclaimed to be the necessary aim of
every Government, that can expect to continue.
What is singular, the memoir sent to Repub-
licsn Of s3, the Journalist, Prudhomme, whom moth
ing could induce to support the Empire That infexi
| Die integrity of Prudhomme won the esteem Of
Napoleon, who knowing him to be connected with
Fouche, often inquired of the latter what were the
opinions of his Jacobin friend with respect to his
reign. On one occasion, Fouche replied to the EN-
peror "You wish to know Prudhomme S opinion
very WELL he says YOU perperae nothing but follies"
At another time, respecting the death Of the Duke
d'Enghien Prudhomme varied the saying of Tai
leyrand ut is more than crime; yes but it is not
fault" Napoleon cites in his memoir, this express
sion emanating from man of intellect, without
naming him.
| When the old Jacobn received the memoir, how
is unknown, he wrapped it up and wrote upon it ::
Manuscript of Napoleon Bondparte and after
wards died at st. Helena, May 9Th, 1921 "Prud
homme was probably afraid to plblish during the
reign of the elder Bourbons says NJ Gaillardet and
he died short time before the accession of the
younger branch An aged daughter, his sole heir,
has discovered by chance this production buried in
| dust. She submitted it to an Able who is one of
the most remarkable Of the French clergy by the ele
walton and fberality of his views-the Able Michon
the author of very much esteemed book on the
East, and the editor of the Religious Press"
gather from him these curious Details and the fac
that the memoir will be published at an early day.
1t would seem that NJ Gaillardet credits the au>
thenticty of the memoir; but others are liksly to
suspect it to be n Jacobin forgery
