A Clause In Napoleon,s VIII,

Peter the Great is said to have made
a will in which he eXhorted his heirs
to approach as nearly as possible to
COnstantinople and toward India, but
the authenticity of this document has
been disputed, and it is shrewdly sus-
pected to have been forged late in the
eighteenth century by August Won
Kotzebue. OF the genuineness, how
ever, of the last will and testament
of Napoleon l. there can be no man
ner of doubt. One of it's clauses was
as vindictive as the testamentary in
junction of Queen Austrigilda to her
husband to have her two doctors killed
and buried with her.
The exile of LOngWood absolutely
bequeathed 10000 francs to a fellow
called Cantillon, who had been tried
in Paris for an attempt to murder the
Duke of Wellington. The man was
still surviving in Brussels when Ma
