Napoleon’s Three Warnings.
The celebrated Fouche, Duke of Or
leans, was retained for a time, it is wed
known, in the service of the Bourbons,
after their restoration to the throne of
France. He retired to the town of Aix,
in Provence, and there lived in affluent
ea*e upon the gains of his long and busy
career. Curiosity attracted many visitors
around this remarkable man, and he was
habitually free in communicating his
reminiscences of the great events which
it had been his lot to witness. On one
occasion the company assembled in his
saloon heard from his lips the following
story :
By degrees as Napoleon assumed the
power and authority of a king, everything
about him, even in the days of the Consu
late, began to wear a court-like appear
ance. All the old monarchical habitudes
were revived one by one. Among the
other revivals of this kind, the custom of
attending Mass previous to the hour of
audience was restored, and Bonaparte
himself was punctual in his appearance
at the chapel of St. Cloud on such occa
sion*. Nothing could be more mundane
than the mode of performing these reli
gious services. The actresses of the
opera were the choirists, and great
crowds of busy, talkative people were in
the habit of frequenting the gallery of the
chapel, from the window of which the
First Consul and Josephine could be
seen with their suites and friends. The
whole formed merely a daily exhibition of
tiie consular court to the people.
Atone particular time the punctuality
of Bonaparte in his attendance on Mass
was rather distressing to his wife. The
quick t fnd jealous Josephine had discov
ered that the eye of her husband was too
much directed to a window in the gallery,
where there regularly appeared the form
and face of a young girl of uncommon
beauty. The chestnut tresses, the bril
liant eyes, and graceful figure of this per
sonage, caused more uneasiness to the
consul’s wife, as the stranger’s glances
were bent no less often upon Bonaparte
than his were upon her.
_ Who is that young girl ?” said Jose
phine one day, at the close of the service;
“what can she seek from the First Cou
i observed her to drop a hillet just
down at his feet. Tie picked it up ; I
* av him.”
No one could tell Josephine who the
m'ject of her notice precisely was, though
there were some who declared her to be
an emigrant lately returned, and one who
vow probably desirous of the intervention
us the First Consul in favor of her family
ith such guesses as this the Consul's
wife was obliged to rest satisfied for the
time.
Alter she audience of the same day had
passed, Bonaparte expressed a wish for a
bine in the park, and accordingly went
out, accompanied by his wife, his brother
Joseph, Generals Duroc and Oambaseres,
anu Hortense Beauharnois, wife of Louis
Bonaparte,
ine King ot Prussia had just presented
napoleon with a superb set of horses, four
m number, and these were harnessed to
an open chariot for the party. The Consul
'■’A -- uis head to drive in person
■mo mounted into the coachman’s place.
. ,0 ;' ; iariot set off, hut just as it was turn
ing into tho park, it went crash against
a .:one at the gate, and the First Consul
wu, thrown to the ground. H e attempted
to rise, but again fell prostrate in a
stunned or insensible condition. Mean
'•vluK the horses sprang forward with the
eua.uot, and were only stopped when
at the risk of his life, threw him
out and seized the reins, Josephine
Wa " ta *en out in a swooning state. The
u-st of die party quickly returned to the
Kr-t Consul and carried him hack to his
apaitments. On recovering his sensees
ul;: A l ' v ' brsfe thing which he did was to
put his hand into his pocket and pull out
the slip of paper dropped at his feet in
the chapel. Leaning over his shoulder,
Josephine read these words : ‘*Do not
drive out in your carriage to-day.”
‘‘This can have no allusion to our late
accident,” said Bonaparte. No one could
foresee that I was to play the part of a
coachman to-day, or that I should be
awkward enough to drive against a stone.
Go, Duroc, and examine the chariot.”
Duroc obeyed. Soon after he return
ed, very pale, and took the First Consul
aside.
•‘‘Citizen Consul,*’ said he, “had you not
struck the stone, and stopped our drive,
we had all been lost.
“Plow ?” was the reply.
“ There was in the carriage, concealed
behind the back seat, a bomb, a massive
bomb, and with a slow match attached to
it, kindled ! Things had been so ar
ranged that, in a quarter of an hour, we
should have been scattered among the
trees in the Park of St. Cloud. There
must he some treachery close at hand.
Fouche must ho told of this—Dubois
must ho warned.”
“Not a word, then,” replied Bonaparte.
“The knowledge of one plot hut engenders
a second. Let Josephine remain ignorant
of the danger she has escaped. Hortense,
Joseph, Oambaseres, tell none of them,
and let the Government journals say not
a word about ray fall.”
The First Consul was then silent for
some time. At length he said : “Duroc,
you come to-morrow to Mass in the chapel,
and examine with attention a young girl
whom I shall point out to you. She will
occupy the fourth window in the gallery,
on the right. Follow her home, or cause
her to he followed, and bring me intelli
gence of her name, her abode, and her
circumstances. It will be better to do
this yourself. I would not have the police
interfere. Have you taken care of the
bomb, and removed it?”
“I have, Citizen Consul.”
“Come, then, let us again drive in the
park,” said Bonapaito.
The drive was resumed, hut on this oc
casion the coachman was allowed to fulfil
his own duties.
On the morrow the eye of more than
one person was turned to the window in
the gallery. But the jealous Josephine
sought in vain for the elegant figure of
the young girl. She was not there. The
impatient First Consul, with his confidant,
Duroc, were greatly annoyed at her non
appearance, and small was the attention
paid by them to the services that day.
Their anxiety was fruitless. She was
seen at Mass no more.
The summers of Napoleon were chiefly
spent at Malmaison ; the winters at St.
Cloud and the Tuilleries. Winter had
come on, and the First Consul had been
holding Court in the great apartment of
the last of these palaces. It was the 3d
of the month, which the Republicans well
called nivose, and in the evening* Bona
parte entered his carriage to go lo the
opera, accompanied by his aid-de-camp,
Lauriston, and Generals Lannes and Ber
thier. The vehicle was about to start,
when a female, wrapped in a black man
tle, rushed out upon the Place Carousel,
made her way into the middle of the
guards about to accompany Napoleon,
and held forth a paper, crying :
“Citizen Consul ! read, read !”
Bonaparte, with that smile which Bou
rienne describes as so irresistible, saluted
the petitioner, and stretched out his hand
for the missive.
“A petition, madame ?” said he, in
quiringly; and then continued, “Fear
nothing ; l shall present it, and sec jus
tice done !”
“Citizen Consul !’’ cried the woman
imploringly, joining her hands.
What she would have further said was
lost. The coachman who, it was after
wards said, was intoxicated, gave the
lash to his horses, and off they sprang
with the speed of lightning. Napoleon,
throwing into his hat the paper he had
received, remarked to his companions:
“I could not well see her figure, but I
think the poor woman is young.”
The carriage dashed rapidly along; it
was just issuing from the Street of St.
Nicholas, when a frightful detonation was
heard, mingling with and followed by a
crash of broken windows. The infernal
machine had exploded !
Uninjured, the carriage of the Consul
and its inmates was whirled with undi
minished rapidity to the opera. Bona
parte entered his box with serene brow
and unruffled deportment, He saluted,
as usual, the assembled spectators, to
whom the news of the explosion came
with all the speed which rumor exercises
on such occasions.
All were stunned and stupefied, lie
stood, with crossed arms, listening atten
tively to the oratorio of Haydn, which
was executed on that evening.
Suddenly he remembered the paper put
in his hands. He took it out. and read
these lines:
■MIST3BI ©I 111 f©im
“In the name of heaven, Citizen Con
sul, do not go to the opera to-night; if
you do go, pass not through the street of
St. Nicholas.”
i he warning came, in some respects, too
late.
On reading these words, the First Con
sul chanced to raise his eyes. Exactly
opposite to him, in a box in the third tier,
sat the young girl of the Chapel of St.
Cloud, and, with joined hands, seemed
to utter prayers of gratitude for the escape
which had taken place. Her head had
no covering hut her flowing and beautiful
chesnut hair, and her person was wrapped
in a dark mantle, which the Consul recog
nized as identical with that worn by the
woman who had delivered the paper to
him at tiie carriage-door.
“Go,” said Bonaparte, quietly but
quickly to Lannes, “go to the box directly
opposite to us in the third tier. You
will find a young girl in a dark mantle.
Bring her to the Tuilleries. I must see
her;” and, without raising his eyes, hut
to make Lannes certain of the person, he
took the General’s arm, and said, pointing
upward, “See there—look !”
Bonaparte stopped suddenly. The
girl was gone ; no black mantle was to he
seen Annoyed at this beyond measure,
he hurriedly sent off Lannes to intercept
her. It was all in vain. The hoxkeeper
had seen such an individual, hut knew
nothing about her. . Bonaparte applied to
Fouche and Dubois; but all the zeal of
these functionaries failed in discovering
her.
Years ran on after the explosion of
the infernal machine, and the strange ac
companying circumstances tended to make
the occurrence more remarkable in the
eyes of Bonaparte. To the Consulate
succeeded the Empire, and victory after
victory marked the career of the great
Corsican. At length the hours of change
came. Allied Europe poured its troops
into France, and compelled the Emperor
to lay down the sceptre which had been
so long shaken over half- the civilized
earth. The isle of Elba became for a day
the most remarkable spot on the globe ;
and, finally, the resuscitated Empire fell
to pieces anew on the field of Waterloo.
Bonaparte was about to quit France.
The moment had come for him to set
foot on the hark which was to convey him
to the English vessel. Friends who had
followed the fallen chief to the very last
were standing by him to give him a final
adieu. He waived his hand to those
around, and a smile was on the lips which
had recently given the farewell kiss to
the imperial eagle. At this instant a
woman broke the hand that stood before
Napoleon. She was in the prime of
womanhood; not a girl, hut yet young
enough to retain unimpaired that beauty
for which she would at any time have
been remarkable among a crowd of beau
ties. Her features were full of anxiety
and sadness, adding interest to her ap
pearance even at that moment. “Sire!”
said she, presenting a paper at that mo
ment, “read ! read !” The Emperor
took the epistle presented to him, hut
kept his eye on the presenter. He seem
ed, it may he, to feel at that instant the
perfumed breeze of the park of St. Cloud,
to hear the choristers chanting melodi
ously in the chapel as he had heard them
in other days. Josephine, Duroc and all
his friends came haply before him, and
among them the face which he was wont
to see at the fourth window in the gal
lery. His eye was now on that counte
nance, in reality, altered, yet the same
These illusory recollections were of short
duration. Napoleon shook his head and
held the paper up to his eye. After
perusing its contents, lie took the paper
between his hands and tore it to pieces,
scattering the fragments in the air.
“Stop, sire,” said the woman, “follow
the advice ! Be warned ! It is yet
time!”
“No !” replied lie; and, taking* from
his finger a beautiful oriental ruby, a val
ued souvenir of his Egyptian campaigns,
held it out to the woman. She took it,
kneeling, and kissing the hand which
presented it. Turning his head, the Em
peror then stepped into the boat, which
waited to take him to the vessel. Not
long afterwards, he was pining on the
rock of St, Helena.
Thus the three warnings, two were
useless because neglected until the danger
had occurred ; and the third—which
prognosticated Napoleon's fate, if once in
the power of his adversaries—the third
was rejected.
But who. was this woman, Duke of
Orranto ?”
“Oh/’ replied Fouche, “I know not,
with certainty. The Emperor, if he knew
ultimately, seems to have kept the secret.”
All that is known respecting the mat
ter is, that a female related to St. Regent,
one of the authors of the explosion in the
Street St. Nicholas, died at the Hospital
Hotel Dieu, in 1837; and that round her
neck was suspended, by a silk ribbon,
the oriental ruby of Napoleon.
