The following is an extract from the
hitherto unpublished diary OF the sec-i
rotary OF he English admiral who
conveyed Napoleon to st. Helena. Ma
poleon said many of his officers de-
serted previous to the battle of Water,
loo: and in speaking of the French
nation he said that the lower orders of
the people were the most sincere. the
most firm, and at the same time the
best dispositioned in the world; but in
the proportion as you rose the class
their characters became the worse, and

tickle and too volatile to be at all de-
pended on. They had one principle
for to-day and another for tomorrow,
according TO tho circumstances Of the
moment; and he attributed his Water
loo disasters solely TO the disaffected
officers OF his army. In talking of the
battle he assured the admiral he had
never fer moment mistook
the Prussians for Grouehy's d.
vision, but that he knew early
in the day that the Prussians were
closing on his flank; that this, how
ever, gave him little or no nneasiness,
as he depended on Gen. Grouchy also
closing with him at the same time,
and he had ordered a sufficient force
70. oppose the Prussians, who were IN
fact already b .cked. And he added
that he considered the battle through
out the day to be very much in his
favor, but that so soon as it was dusk
the disaffected officers promulgated
the cry of ''Sauve qui peut." which
spread such confusion and alarm
throughout his whole line that it be-
