NApoLEoN's ArrExrr TO Pass THE RED SEA-
The author Of Eothen, or Traces of Travel, after
mentioning several speculations as to- the point at
which the Israelites passed the Rcd Sea, one Of
the suppositions being that they treversed only q
small creek at the northern extremity, near Suez,
proceeds as follows Napoleon, when at Suex,
made an attempt to follow the supposed steps Of
Moses, by passing the creek ut this point, bot it
seems, according to the testimony of the people at
Suez, that he and his horsemen managed the mat
ter in a way more resembling the failure of the
Egyptians than the success Of the Israelites.--
According to the French account, Napoleon got
out Of the difficulty by that warrior Ike presence
of mind which served him 50 we'll when the fate
of nations depended on the moment. He ordered
his horscmcn to d:sperse themselves in all dircc-
tions, in order to multiply the chances OF finding
shallow water, and was thus enabled to discover
line by which b. and bis people were extricated.
The story told by the people Of Suez is very diff
fcrent. They declare that Napoleon parted from
his horse, got thoroughly submerged, and was
only fshed out by the people ON shore. bathsd

the second time that did so, chose the time OF
