I'utils in this remarkable history are derived
from Gen. Rapp, who wus present nt tlm

of intimating to him that his request should

Accosting trim in the German language,
l desired him to wait till nfter the pnYaile,
adding, that should he have any claim to
ttrgio, he would then be heard. I continu
ed to nbaerve him attentively, his pertina
city having inspired me with auspicious
by no mealiato his advantage. 1 remark
ed that he kept his right hand placed in
side his great-cont, near the left breast
pocket, from which the corner of a paper
was rather studiously displnyedt ns if to
divert the attention from the real object.
Perceiving an officer of gendarmes, l beck
oned to him to ndvnnce, and recommen
ded him to suite the person of the young
man, hut without violence or noise,find to
detain him privately at the chateau till the
parade should bo over. The crowd as
sembled wore so occupied with the move
ments of the troop*, that the scene which
I have just described passed wholly unno
ticed. ■ . . ■ ,,
Immediately after the teview, I teas in
formed that an enormous kitchen knife
lind been found upon the stranger, whose
name, ns it afterwards appeared, wa;
Stup?. Sending instantly ft»r Diirnc, I
acconipanied Iritn to the room tvhefe Slaps
had been confined. We found liifn seated
on a lied: his nir was that of sadness, but'
hy no means of tefror. In his ptissedsioh
were found a portrait of a female, a pock
et-book. nnd' a purse containing two pie-
cesofgold. I questioned him nstohis mniic
with’whicli fie refused to acquaint me; say-
ingtliat he wotild tell it only to Nnpoleon.
I then asked him to what purpose he had

Still the same answer—“ I can tell U tility
to Napoleon.” “ Is it possible,” replied
I, “that yoti ban hnve WieditstWd hn at

The singiijaritv of this adveWtnre induced

to his presence.—Iluving asked who he
wus, and being told that he was a physi
cian,— 1 “ I have not the least ocCnsion for
him,” said Stupe, immediately on the
entrance of Corvisart, Napoleon ordered
him to fed the young man’s pulse, which
tie instantly did; Slaps nil (lictiniedisplny-
ing the most inconceivable pliletttu, and nt
length observing to the doctor, with tang

“ He is quite well, sire,” replied Corvisart,
addftessing himself to the Emperor. “I

dent triumph mid ijfitisfeclion. • I was
thunderstruck with the German's impur-
turbablo phlegm; nnd iliu Emperor him
self seemed wholly’ confounded at his nil

again accosted Stnps. “ Your iinngina*

ed lit,., pgaiti into FlandcKOlvliere la-
ment ing to see such eft'usioiiW Christiun
blood, he resolved to trv his fortune n-
gainst the Turks—In order to do this, he
passed through Franco with n variety of
adventure and misfortune, in which he al
ways sinewed a high und martini spirit.—
At Marseilles he embarked for Italy. But
the ship meeting with niueji foul weather,
a rubble of pilgrims on board hourly curs
ed In in for n Umioiiot, railed ot Queen E
lttebetli,-nnd Iuq whole nation, and swore:
they should never have fnir weMliep ns
long ns he was in the sliip. At Inst the
passion of those pious phristians rose so
high, that they threw him overbonid;
trusting, we may suppose, in tlu* merit
ami supi i,i rogation or dint holy pilgrim-
age, t" expiate the trifling offence nnd
peuenddto of murder. However, Smith,
bv thlfr divine assistance, got snfe to n
t'n.ail liuinbabiicd island, against Nice, in.
iSayoy. From thence lie was, the next
dhv, taken off bv n French rover, who
treated him very kindly, and with wliotn"
b« therefore made tlm tour of the whole
Medite rranean, both on the Mahometan
nnd Ul:ri;linn const At length after a
desperate buttle, having taken n very rich
Venetian sigjp, the generous Frenchman
set linn ashore with his share of the prize ;
amounting to about five hundred sequins;
iu specie, and a box of rich commodities,
worth near as much more. And now out
of Curiosity ranging all the regions and
Vipcipnlities of Jtnly, he nt Inst went to
lejimv, and entered himself a gentleman
volunteer, in the. count Mcldritch’s regi-
tnent ngaiust the Turks.
He had not been long in the Christian
army, before he was distinguished for a
man of great personal bravery, and in the
sieges of Olumptigh and Alba Regulis, hi
was the author of softie stratagems, which
showed a happy talent for w r ar, and did
Signal service to the Christian cause. II,;
was jlieteupnn immediately advanced to

BIOGRAPHY OF CAPT. SMITH.
He was borft a gentleman, to a Compe
tent fortune, nt Willoughby, in Lincoln
shire, in the year 1379. From'his very
childhood, he lind u romantic fancy, and
wns strangely set upon performing some
brave'ntid adventurous achievement; Ac
cordingly being iihont thirteen years of
ngc, nt school, be sold his satchel and
I looks, and ftfl he lind, to raise money, in
order'to go secretly beyoml sen. But his
father dying just at that time, he was slop
ped for the present, and fell Into the hands
of guardians, more intent on improving
his estate than him. However, nt fifteen,
in the venr 1594, he wns bound to a mer
chant nt Lyric, the most considerable trad
er in those parts. But because he would
not send him immediately to sea, found
means, in the train o(Mr. Peregrine Bur
ly, second son of the fbrd Willotfghby, to
pass into Frrtnge. lleVe, ami in the low
countries, he first learned the rudiments nf

eager of the honor of humbling this
haughty Musstilman; but it was nt last

Accordingly, the ramparts of the town
being lined with fair dholes nnd men in
arms, and the Christian armv drawn up
in buttulia, the combatants entered the,
field, well mounted ami richly armed, to
the sound of hautboys and trumpets ;
where, nt the first encounter, Smith bore
the Turk to the ground, and went off tri-
iiinphautly with his head. But lira infi
del garrison being enraged nt this, he af
terwards engaged tw o other officers, and

management of his horse, lie carried oh
