NAPOLEON'S DREAM.

He LOnged to Follow In the Footsteps Of
Alexander tho Great.
Bonapart was q child of the Mcdi-
terrancan. The light of its sparkling
waters was ever in his eyes, and the
fascination of its ancient civilizations
was never absent from his dreams of
glory. His proclamations rang with
classic allusions, his festivals were
adorned with classic ceremony. In in
fancy he had known of Genoa, the
tyrant of his island, rs strong in
the splendid commercial enterprises
which stretched eastward through the
Levant, and beyond into the farther
orient; in childhood he had fed his
Imagination on the histories of Alexan-
der the Great, and his conquest of orr
entail empires; in youth he had thought
to find an open door for his ami mbition,
ing service with England to share the
renown of those who were building up
her eastern empire. Disappointed in
this, he turned with the same lack of
success to Russia, already England's
rival on the continent of Asia.
1t is perfectly comprehensive that
throughout his early manhood his
ed to the same ideals. The conqueror
of Italy and Austria might hope to
realize them. Was he not master OF
the two great maritime common
wealths which had once shared all
eastern trade between them? En-
glands intrusion upon the Mediterra-
mean basin was a never-ceasing irrita-
tion to all the Latin powers. Her
commercial prosperity and her mastery
of the seas aggravated the exaspera-
ton of France, as threatening
even her equality in their an
cient rivalry. From the days of the
first crusade all Frenchmen had felt
that leadership in the reconstruction of
Asis belonged to them by virtue of
pree.ccupation. Ardent repu ublicans.
moreover, saw Frances mission incom-
plete in the liberalizing of the CONT.
nent, and the department of marine
under the directory stamped its paper
with the motto: Liberty of the Seas. ="
Imaginative forces, the revolution
ary system, and the national ambition
all combined to create ubiquitous en-
thusiasm for the conquest of the Medi-
terranean. To this the temperame
and training of Bonaparte were as the
spark to the finder. It was with will
ing ears that the directory heard his
first suggestions about the Venetian
isles. and subsequently his plans for
the capture of Malta, which was to be
followed by a death-blow to England's
supremacy in the seizure of Egypt and
the dismembcrment of Turkey.-Prok
