Death «4* Napoleon Bona
parte.
The age has lost its greatest name.—
Nal’olkon but lately the most
powerful amt splendid of monarchs, has
expired on a little rock infilhe middle of'
the Atlantic-Ocean. He lias died of a
Itngei iug Hint**, the cons quence of con
fin- ir.eiii and the bad climate. He has
died in solitqde, in the dreadful calm of
his distant prison, shut out .from-his fa
mily, fiom liis friends, from the scores
of ins immortal career of glory, from eve
ry thing which could supply association
nnu sensation to the dreary void of his
nuuirahy active mind. The animal win
encumbers lis once magnificent throne,
and all the vampires of legitimacy, will
doubtless chuckle over the mr Ifrtichoh
end of the man whose genius abashed
them, oven when in its remote prison;
hut there are hearts on which the news of
his death strikes like a heavy blow. He
was far away from our eyes and on
thoughts; Iwit we fell a pervading con
cern. ' fit that he lived, and some thing
of a feeling that he might again uppi a, a
fftong ns, as.ft soldier still unequalled ns
a mart taught wisdom by experience !
That consciousness and that feeling »ro
torn away by this event; and we cannot
but be sensible of the shuck.
In person, Bonaparte, like most of'the
great men alio have cut a figure in active;
life, as below the middle henpit; and in
the t arly part of his life was very thin.—
Ills j erson was well turned, broad in the
shoulders, and, till he grew fat, very ele
gan* downwards. I'he late Mr. West
told us, that he had never seen a hand
enme*- itg and thigh; and the first consul
knew it, fin he liked to dress in light fair'
colored biteches and white silk stock
ing;. His head was somewhat too large
for ho, body, hut finely out, as we may all
ote in his ir.etlais. 'lt looks 'ike, .one of
thr handsomest Roman emperors. If is
faci is Italian, with an olive, complexion,
a lor; head of genius, and A mouth and
chin of resolute beauty.
Napoleon was of a warm temperament,
Ifenerous, rfnd affectionate. He was be
oved by those about his person, and was
happy in both his marriages, though the
fir- was a connexion of love, the second
of policy. No greater proof can be ad
duced of the devoted attachment of .lose*
ephine, than the pleasure she received
from .us visits, nftershc bad been pu' asidt
for h. r husband’s mistaken views of poli
tical management. He took some pride
apparently in keeping up a spl< ndid
court: indeed it was by far the most bril
liant in Etiroper but the greatest part of
its lustre was derived from the residence
of men of letters and taste, and the uni
on of art with magnificence. The ladies
of his cour| were particularly the warm
IHin.ircrs of their brave and handsome so
vereign On his return to Paris from
Elba, when he was borne up the stairs
of the Thnilleries on the shoujderg of the
enthusiastic crowd just from the
galling yoke of the contemptible grin
ning n<- keys who swarmed in w ith the
nstolen legitimates, he was met by spme
of frit* former companions; and one lady
fell upon his neck in tears.

It is an undeniable fact, that Bonaparte’s
physician did not sign the ** Report”
which professed to give an account of the
appearance of his body after death. This
is acknowledged by C&stlercagh himself,
to be an “ unaccountable omission.” Ihe

tbe Philadelphia “ Aurora” analyzes t];e

the general pathology before death, and
the appearance cf the dissected corpse
after death, that Bonaparte was poisor ed!
For oursi Ives, though we are amateurs,
we are but indifferent judges in the sci

It appears that tne port of St. Helemt
was kept shut for some time after he was
dead'; this is another “ unaccountable
circumstance;”—but Custlereagh will find,

A CASE OF ANALOGY.
M. D’Autriehy, an engined, a middle
aged .man, hud resided for some time in
St. Domingo, when the civil revolution
broke out there ; and -was involved in the
■ war against tire blacks. Tliis was not his
first rencounter; there had been sevi ral
conflicts before, where the revolted ne
groes had beaten the white*; and after
taking a number of prisoners, the enraged
negroes had put them all to death, by the
most refined cruelties. M. iPAutrichy
\> as not ignorant of these barbarities ; the
little troop in which he was fighting, was
surrounded by the enemy ; and such was
their peril, that he expected every me
nu nt to be taken; with this conviction,
and a due consideration of the fate that a
waned him, he resolved, if possible, to
avert the torture, such as had been in
flicted on some of his friends, who Imd
fallen into their hands. The d ffivulty
was to procure tire-means—as an engineer
and a draftsman, recollecting that among
Iris c olors which he had about him, there
were some which contained arsenic—” I
can now defy those monsters,” sjiid D’Au.
trichy, and he swallowed such a quantity
as he thought would rescue him from the
cruelties he apprehended. But it hap
pened that they fought so well, that they
were not taken prisoners. On the other
hand the dose of arsenic did not prove
sufficient to immediately kill him ; he nus
fereu violent cholics and some severe con
vulsions; but being a young, vigorous and
temperate man, his constitution appeared
to overcome it, and the stomach returned
to the-performance of itscualomary func
tions. M. U’Autrichy continued thus,
tree from pain, for some time ; but he
gradually lost flesh, and frequently had
pain-, in bis stomach and.bowela,,and some*
times acute choiics.
In this situation he came to Philadel
phia, with a great number of his country
men, when Cape Francois w'as evacuated,
and like many of them, being destitute of
other means of procuring a livelihood, he
had recourse to the skill in which he was
(distinguished; and as surveyor, landscape
painter, am’ elegant draftsman. A gen
tleman of this city, (Mr. Paul Bnsli,) who
was agent for a-company who owned large
quantities of land employed him for some
time in that capacity; but his disease in
ert using, D’Auuichy lingered 3 or 4 years,
and at last died in this city, leaving a
daughter, and Ids mother-in-law-; to whom,
as well as his physicians and friends, he
nail often related the above particulars,
and slated them to be the cause of his ap
proaching death. On those occasions he
requested that his body should be opened,
to verify the facts which be had stated.
His physicians, one of whom, an eminent
practitioner in this city, who relates th>s
fact, aid is now alive-, did open the bo.
dy, as drain d, and found the Itmgs, the
I'Vei, the heart, and every other organ,
and viscus, in a pus ctly sound state;
' but, when they came to iay the stomach
open, that viscus whs found to be the scat
of extensive disease, adhesions connected
with the superior surface particularly
about the pyloric extremity. The inter
nal surface of the stomach was schirrus,
and advancing to cancer.
1 was struck, as, 1 date.say, you will be,
at the coincidence of the appearance of
this subject, with that given so formally
concerning the great Napoleon, as pub
lished in all the prints; and when I con
sidered that M. O’Autrichy had died by
mineral pmson, administered by himself,
and that the fact of his having been so poi
soned, could not be doubted, because all
thr facts agreed; 1 believe the facts bear
a r, semblance too exact, in the result,
however different in the origin, to rend> r
any inference at all necessary.
Now, Mr. Duane, 1 will ask any physi
cian, the most accurate and experienced
morbid anatomist ; what are the appear
ances always exhibited on dissection, by
the human stomach, that has received
arsenic, or any other corrosive substan
■ ces ?—and, if all physicians answer the
i question readily, by saying tliat the ap.
peurancti In such H case will be precisely
. '.nose which were exhibited on the ap.
pi arances of Napoleon’s stomach being
- la'd open; and if that opinion be corrn
t borated by the experience of all pmcliti
oners, must not the conclusion be inevita
■ bie, that Napoleon was poisoned.
And then I will ask these gentlemen,
. cn in learning and experience, whether
.sts frequently or ever occur, of a schir
s being exhibited in a stomach, especi
) iy in robust, sober, and vigorous sub
• jeew, unless caused by tbe introduction of
-*♦ ;7
IcoffosWfc substa«ce<; »n<! if their answer
be in ihe negative, I must believe, that
Napoleon was premeditatedty poisoned.
What is a schirrus, or schirrosis? Q.iin
cy*s Lexicon defines it,, an induration of
the glands, from gritty obstructed matter,
as it happens frequently to the liver in
jaundice, and the like.
It appears to me very plain, therefore,
that we have evidence filly sufficient to
govern our judgment, in dictating an opi
nion, that Napoleon died by corrosive poi
son.
As o the story of which the editor of j
the National Gazette oafs he has good
reason for believing, that th; anecdote of
his having described hill disease as heredi
tary, is well founded-—! assert, that this
story or pretended notion for belief, has
no foundation; however, lam willing to
leave that gentleman the whole merit of
his belief; for faith they say will remove
mountains; but an hereditary schirrus,
precisely on the pyloiit extremity, ma l b*»
imagined by an accommodating fancy, and
repeated, or even believed by the editor
of the National Gazette; but I venture to
say, that no physician of experience or
respect for his own reputation, will no
ticf' it otherwise than by a smile.
But I should like to know the reasons
for the belief of this pyloric disease, in
pies- ence to many others, related of Na- j
poleon. Is it because there are no exam
ples of siidt tnut del s ofeminent men; or
is it to attenuate the odium which must
forever cover the British Machiavelists,
when the whole matter shall be exposed
to the world, as to a certainty it will.
Upon calling to mind a few incidents
within a few years, 1 think I can recollect
the murder ofPaul of Russia; 1 can reeol
lect the murder of the gallant Ney; I can
recollect the murder of Mura*, and by the
order of an agent of the same power, that
murdeied th*- venerable Carraccioli, even
after acipru ation.
If 1 puss only my mind over the map of
India, or peruse a smgfepage < f Edmond
Burke's pagesutter* dindaysofhisunpf n
sioned eloquence, I can see a great bents
factor and a great emperor sacrificed. In
deed that region appears strewed over
with assassinated emperors and princes—
from Cheit Sing to the king„of Candy,
the oldest of the legitimate jnonarebs. It
being evident that Napoleon died 1 by poi
son, it remains to he examined, who and
by whose orders that poison was adminis
tered; but as this is a delicate question,
and I have some further use of my pylo
rus, 1 will leave you, orany other gentle
man better acquainted than I am with En
glish magnanimity, to settle that ques

Narrative of a Fact, whico took place in
England about 20 years ago. The Ech
tor knows that the circumstances hap
pened as he relates them.
Mr. Harcourt and Mr. Billings were
fine young men, and Urongly attached to
each other. The first wbb a nephew of
Lord Harcourt, and of Gen Harcourt,
and was a cornet in the 10th regiment of
Light Dragoons. Mr Billings was a high
spirited, rich, and well educated West
Indian. He keptrsnthtrens !
These two gentleman met at watering
place,where there, was a theatre; to which
upon seme occasion, .that produced a
house full of fashion and beauty, Mr.
Harcourt attendee, a parry oi Ladies, and
•at among them in the front row of his box
Thus ciicttinttauced ( .,hesaw mthePu,
his friend, who having in vam tried to en
. ter the box at its door, returned to the pit, :
and being somewhat intoxicated, insisted
that Harcourt should permit him to clam-,
ber over ihe front ot* the ho*, and in
trude himself into a seat on the bench
with ihe Indies, whom the latter protect-;
td. It was evident that Billings could ;
not mean to rude, because he was tow
dmnk to mean any thing. Harcourt,
therefore, managed, rather than opposed
him, and at length, by a little persuasion,
induced him to mnke another trial a ihe
tox door, where, through Harlco r*s ex
ertions, tie at last lound a seat. He had,
by this time, recovered in some degree,
’he equilibrium of his mind, or in plainer
English, his senses —and, when the play
was over, attended Ilk friend home. No
apology for Ha,court’s condum at the
Theatre, was thought of—indeed, Billings
was duly sensible of his friend’s correct
and delicate mode of reproof—* and here
the business would have ended, il no
“dux foemina facti,” no vicious and high
tempered mistress bad interfered. But,
“I)iis aliter visum est.”
In the space of a single hour tins innocent
faunas had, thro* life kindness of“some
good-natured friend,” been reported, wilh
more than usual exaggeration, to the West
Indian’s there amie who when Billings ar
rived at home, frowned on him with every
mark of contempt, as a coward who had
received a blow without spirit to resent it.
Such was the young man’s attachment to
her, that he could not bear to sink in her
estimation —and he explained fully the na
lur<- of the provocation given by himself,
and so judiciously repelled by his friend.
This would not do The woman felt that
she had power, and resolved to show it by
producing a duel. She, therefore, stop
ped Mr. Billings by haughtily assuring
him that he who could put no with vblow,
was unfit to be the protector of any woman.
Between apprehension of losing this.
, hyaena,” the fear of having submitted to
•' improper treatment at the play house, and
the dread of quarrelling witli his best
tViend, the generous West-Indian, was dis
if acted. At length the artifice and re
proaches of his JUistreis prevailed, and he
, sent Harcourt a challenge. The latter
. knew the strength or r& her weakness of
his friend’s attachment to this harlot, and
■ the use she might make of it—he was,
, therefore, somewhat prepared for this m„d
• summons, and without consulting any bird
person, went immediately to the clialien
. per, whom he had contrived to withdiaw
♦rom the she dragoon’s watchful inspec
tion. >
At this interview, the eloquence of
[ truth and friendship was irrtsistable. Bii

cords with which this second (or second

gerous h disgrupeful passion. The friends
rushed into each other’s arras - the woman
was discarded, and those who hud anxious

Alas! it was not their fate to he left tf>

The Pimts who have arrived at Boston
since the gale, inform (hat the mast head
of a sloop was to be seen out. of water,
two andj a half miles outside the Light-
House; the vessel sunk in about six fa
horns water. At half tide it can be ob
served that the jib is hoisted, and also the
mainsail, with three reefs in it. It is sup
posed she capsized, filled and sunk dur
ing the gale, and that al on board were
drowned. Not the least article has been
found by which the name of the vessel
can be ascertained.
At Middletown, Conn. |the gale lasted
(ivt hours. It blew down the spire of the
Episcopal Church, and t' ok off about
half the Methodist Meeting House; seve

At Weathersfield, the brick School
House was blown down.
At New London, the pale commenced
about 7 o’clock in the evening, and con
