L ni.s Bonaparte appears to have been moved bv the scene of diibels before him ; the system was partially abrogated, and the communication opened between England and Holland through the direst medium of neutrals. It is ilaied, i fhefe indulgences provoked the indignation o’ the emperor Napoleon. j i firft of . t eitner.o reed by the Ruio* of : xlodand, was the desertion of his wife, the • ( daughter of the French empress; who, after j ibm * faccefsiui intrigues, withdrew from her husband to her mother.
