of such absurd stuff, must either be in

or they wotijld jieyer have attempted to -j
thrust such k farrago of stupid lies

seem to be gheediSy swallowed by some
of the Journalists; This circumstance
drew from Bonaparte one day a remark
Editors of the Eng

bu l, at one meal, horns and alt ! This
anecdote I have heard from a v person
who was present, f. • / £
% « Sometime back, Sir H. and Lady
D. Mrs. M’CJintock, =<jgfc£ - ,4 Wethera 11,
with several other ladsesand gentlen en
were introduced tcfhim in the garden,
to all of whom he was affable, and they
departed highly pleased Wi|h their re
ception. When it wak mentioned *to
him afterwards, that the ladies were
particularly gratified,’ and that they
were surprised to find hint’ so different
a persoa frpm what he had been repre
sented, he* is said to have replied laugh-;
ing .I “ suppose I was
some strange animnl with two great
sticking out of my head.” ~
It has been assorted that h% : has fre
quently reviled the memory of Kleber,
and evch by some that lie had cauffedis
his assassination. .Quite-fthe crontrary
would appearTrom the very handsome
manner in which he speaks’of htm. *V*
time back he expressed -hlmscli
(sh |he following manner :—lf lCieb£r?

taken Egypt with an army Without’ ca

The friends and the relatives of th e
late lamented Sir J Moore, would pro
bably not be displeased to hear the fol
lowing tribute of applause paid to ‘Jflif

ho judge need not be pointed out- —
- Moore,!said Napoleon-, ‘was a brave
sotdV r s excellent officer, arid a man
of talent. He made a few mis
Which were probably from the ffifficujp
ties by which, he was surrounded, and
most likely caused by the incorrectness -
hifi inforitiation having nfrated him/
.This: he repeated, observing, ‘ that:
hid commanded the service in
.Egypt, where he evinced considerable
talent- He died/added he, gloriously ;
he died like a soldier/ Speaking
abut St, Helena, he observed, ‘ that
such was the deplorable state of the isl
and. that the inhabitants considered the
absent of actual want, or the lack oft
starvation, as f the greatest blessing—
Tor example, said he, P-*~went the
other day; to a R—-’s, and there they
said. 4 Oh, how happy you mnst be to
hkvefresh meat every day at dinner!
Oh i if we could enjoy that, how happy
we should be 1“
; ‘ It was stated some time back, that
Kapoleor/s maitre Wiotci, and otheriiSßp
MTsuite had signed a paper, ( pursuant
to orders received from England, either
to do that or quit St. purpot-.
ting their willingness to remain and sub
mit to such pestuctions as it might be
thought necessary to impose upon them.
The following is an abstract from that
paper: *« We the undersigned, wishing
to remain in the service of the fiknpe*
ror Napoleon, consent however dread
ful may be the abode of St, Helena, to

an order had been ts.uedUv the Severn
merit fora levy or ballot of srx<y thou-
to be embodied as a militia.
In the opinienr of some persons, this
measure isndopled with a view of le v-
themigufar troops at the disposal of
the goveriwnet, ior the purpose of send
ing them to South America ami to Mex
