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.
