“ For several days Napoleon had appar
ently been occupied with some secret de
sign. He became dull, Ik his mind was only
occasionally roused by the contemplation of
the gloomy pictures of history. 1 he * mjeci
of his private conversation was the \oUinta
. r - i , l. _ I, ..-oiiQ art flf
ry death to which the heroes of antiquity
fa. - . ., iu situations similar
had doomed themselves
to his own, and he coolly quoted and disc s-
eed, different examples and opinions on the
auhiei-r. The apprehensions which this tin n
Qt'mimLtvcreJiaturally calculated to inspire,
were increased by the. following circum
stance, The Empress had quitted Bints lor
tile purpose of joining Napoleon—she had
arrived at Orleans, and was expected at
i'ontainhleau—hut Napoleon himself stated
-that orders had been issued to prevent her
from carrying the design into execution.—
He feared that this interview might induce
him to relinquish his meditated design. On
the night of the I2th(April 1811) the silence
which reigned in the long corridors of the
•palace was suddenly interrupted by the
sound of hurried footsteps. The servant-
•of the palace were heard running to and fro ;
candles were lighted in the inner apartments
— and the valets dc chambre were called up.
Doctor Yvan and Grand Marshal Bertrand
Were all summoned. The Buke of \ icenz'
was sent for-—and a message was dispatch
led to the Buke of Bassano who resided at
the chancellery. All these individuals hai*
arrived and were successively introduced in
.to the Emperor's bed chamber. Curiosity
in vain lent an anxious ear—nothing was
beard hut groans and sobs escaping from the
anti-chamber, and resounding through the
gallery. At length Dr. Yvan came out- of
the chamber—he hastily descended into the
Court Yard, where finding his horse faster,
ed to the railing, he mounted him and gal
loped off. The secret of this night has at
Ways bt-en involved in profound obscurity.
“ The following story has, however, been
related: During the retreat hum Moscow,
Napoleon had, in ease of accident, taken
means to prevent his falling alive into t
hands of tire enemy. He procured from
Surgeon Y'van a bag of opium, (it was not
Cahanisj and' the same which' CoHttrtVdet
made use of to destroy himself,) which hi
wore about his neck as long as danger was
to be apprehended, lie afterwards care
fully deposited this bag in a secret drawer in
his cabinet. On the night of the 12th, he
thought the moment had arrived fur availing
himself of this last expedient. The valet
de chambre, who slept in the adjoinin
room, the door of which was open, heard
Napoleon empty something into a glass ol
w ater, which lie drank, and then returned to
bed. Rain soon extorted from him ari ac
knowledgment of his approaching end. Hi
then sent for the most confidential persons
in his service. Y’van was sent for also ; hot
Yearning what had occurred, and hearing
Napoleon complain that the poison’was not
Sufficiently quick in its effect, he lost all self
possession, and hastily fled from Fontain-
hlpnii: It is added that Napoleon felllffth a
long sleep, and that after copious perspira
tion every alarming symptom disappeared :
the dose was either insufficient iu quantity,
or time had mitigated the power of the poi-
- gon. It is said that Napoleon, astonished
at the failure of his attempt, after some
moments reflection exclaimed, 1 God has or
dained that I shall ’live:' and yielding to
the will of Providence, which had preserv
ed his existence, lie resigned himself to a
new destiny. The whole affair was hushed
in secrecy ; and on the morning of the 13th,
N’apolcort arose and dressed himself as usu
al ; his objection to ratify the treaty was
now M-nn end, and he signed it without
further hesitation.”

Soon after tho Cabinet Council as

with despatches from Sir W’ni. A’Court.
He travelled from San Lucur in ten days.
During his journey, he was attacked by
robbers, and shot at uear Seville.

Pants, August 6.—A letter from To-
Iosb, dated July 30, alter detailing the
cxcoeses committed at Saragossa, 0:1 the
20th, and following clays, on the authori
ties of an eye-witness, says, that—“ af
ter the arrests, a great number of res
pectable inhabitants left Saragossa by
night. The 22*1 and 23J, the discon
tent of. the populace was general, be
cause they remained alone with the
Priests in the city, which uow more re
sembles the meanest village of Arragon
than the capital of the Province. Ex
traordinary couriers were dispatched by
the French authorities to the Duke of
Angotilcme, He. it is hoped that his Roy
al Highness will order a detachment of
at least 5 or C000 men, to maintain tran
quillity at Saragossa. Such is the fine
use made of the eight thousand muskets
distributed to the populace ou the en
trance of the French.
Persons from Valencia assert, that
similar scenes to those acted in Saragos
sa had taken place in that city ; and that
3000 families had left it, and were wan
dering over the country. There are
some guerillas in the province, who
have already captured several hundred
black cattle destined for the army.
It is asserted, that yesterday (the
29th,) the garrisou of Pampeluna made
another sortie.
“ The people for war have acted, it
must he said, on illusions. They thought

(Front Bayonne Papers.]
Madrid, July 21—The action before
Cadiz, on the t6tll, was one of the most se
rious that has yet taken place, and no doubt
considerable loss must have been sustained.
In that before Corunna, on the 13th, the
7th regiment appear to have suffered the
most.—At Seville, there were so many sick
ami wounded on the 20th, that it had been
resolved to embark a great number of the
latter on board the French squadron, to c„..
vev them to France.
w ho had spr ... ,
itton at Liverpool had declined a tittle,
hut was at that trilling decline very much i»
demand. „ ...
The intelligence from Greece is not less
disastrous than that from Spain. Advices
are reial.vd r..m. femyrua l»» tlie. till ol Ju
to embark for England. We found he was
on his way to Cadiz, and that no vessel for
Cadiz being at Corunna, lie chose England
as the shortest and safest road. On our
caching (.tape Finisterre, Vego and his suite
rere apprehensive of some French vessel
intercepting us, so Sir Juhu Doyle kindly
ifime to Vigo with us.”
Another letter from Plymouth dated 7th
August, is of this tenor. .
“ The different inns are filled with Spanish
and French officers, who have left the coun
try, it is said, with a view of returning by
the way of England to Cadiz.
'•Many of the officers who have landed
here, are in the suite of Gen. Quiroga, who,
they state, is ordered by the Cortes to Ca
diz. Some think that lie is not overbur-
thened with courage, and all concur that h>-
is not a skilful General. An aid de-camp of
Sir Robert Wilson is also here, ordered to
England by Sir Ilohert, on a special missi-
on—he states that with about six hundred
English, and the men now under Sir llobnt s
command, he would soon drive the French out
of Spain, for, from their confidence of suc
res", they arc scattered over the country,
and would become an easy sacrifice to a few
F.nglish soldiers.’’

At 2 o’clock iu tlie morning, on the 2dth

A letter from Madrid, dated July 28lh,
from a quarter upon which every reliance
may be placed, declares that “ the derided
object of the Duke's journey to the South,
was to enter into a negociation, if possible,
with the people of Cadiz, and that “ the
French were inclined to treat on a liberal
basis." The letter adds— 11 The Russian
ambassador seems to direct all measures and
operations here, and it is evident that he has
been doing every thing in his power sine*
he came here to induce the Regency to art
as if it were totally independent of tlie
French government."

“CoBFtqJuly 0.— Intelligence has Iicpit
received tu 1 e highly agreeable to the Greeks.
After his expedition against Negropont, the
Captain Pacha informed the Scraskier ol
Larissa, that he had sent part of his fleet to
Patras, and invited him to take the field im
mediately to penetrate into Greece through
Geo' Molithr ll • Tbcrmopyl®, whilst the other corps would
1 ’ commence their operations from Carys-
tos and Patras. Meliet Pacha committed
the same fault as his predecessors—lie ad
vanced through Zeitouni without wailing to
hear whether the other corps were also in
motion. Odyssens defended the passs of
Thermopyl® with unconquerable resolution,
a It ho’ lie had only 2000 men at ’he com-
ntenrement of the conflict, whilst Meliet at-
taeked him with 8000 Europeans and 7000
Asiatic infantry, besides f.Ooo cavalry. The
Greeks lost upwards of 700 men—but after
fihir hours constant fighting, numerous rein
forcements arriv ed, and the Turks experi
enced a total defeat. Part of them threw
themselves into the castle of Zoitouni, which
was taken by storm—and another capitulat
ed In the town of Demago. Meanwhile the
corps which had advanced from Carystos
was also repulsed. There remains llierefm e
only the corps of tlie Pacha of Scutari to
combat, and it is highly probable lhal this
campaign vvi!! terminate as ignominiously
cm to have been ihe principal objects of
the incursion. Immense numbers of Turks
have hastened thither, andvtheir esasperati-
is extreme. The Greeks at Myteleoe
have rejected every proposal lor peace, and
have declared their determination to con
pier or perish in the contest.
Accounts from Constantinople of the 10th
July confirm the foregoing accounts. The
former relations of Turkey with Russia are
expected to he re-established.
Abdulhad Pacha lias sent 12,0n0men from
Salonica to the Gulf of Volu, in order to
suppress the insurrection. The insurgents
took refuge in Tnkeri, but the Turks burn
ed nu less than 24 villages, and massacred
more than 8000 men, while women and
children were carried into slavery. It is re
ported that the Pacha of Scutari is iu pos
session of Thermopylae.
Sir Robert Wilson’s pretended negneiati

We stated that France was willing to ter
