THANATOPSI9.
BY MR. BRYANT —AY AMERICAN.
To him who in the lore of nature holds
Communion with her visible forms, the speaks
A various language; for his gayer hours
She has a voice of gladness, and a smile
And eloquence of beauty, and she glides
Into his darker musing*, with a mild
And gentle sympathy, that steals away
Their sharpness, ere he is aware. When thoughts
Os the last bitter hour come like a blight
Over thy spirit, and sad images
Os the stem agony, and shroud, and pall.
And breathless darkness, and the narrow house,
Make thee to shudder, and grow sick at heart:—
Go forth nnder the open sky, and list
To Nature's teachings, while from all around,
Earth and her waters, and the depths of air,
Comes a still voice—yet a few days, and thee
The all-behoiding sun shall see no more
In all his course ; nor yet in the cold ground.
Where (by pale form was laid, with many tears,
Nor in the embrace of ocean shall exist
Thy image. Earth that nourished thee, shall
claim
Thy growth, to be resolv’d to eagh again ;
And lost each humble trace, surrendering up
Thine individual being, shah thou go
To mix forever with the elements,
To he a brother to the insensible rock,
And to the sluggish clod, which the rude swain
Turns with bis share, and treads upon. The oak
Shall send his roots abroad and pierce thy mould.
Yet not to tby eternal resting place
Shalt thou retire alone—norcoiildst thou wish
Couch more magnificent. Thou shah lie down
With patriarchs of the infant world—with kings,
The powerful of the earth—the wise, the good,
Fairy forms and hoary seers of ages past,
All in one njigbty sepulchre. The hills,
Rock-ribb'd and ancient as the sun ; —the vales
Stretching in pensive quietness between—
The venerable wood—rivers that move
In majesty, and the complaining brooks
That make the meadows green—and poured
round all,
Old Ocean's grey and melancholy waste—
Are nut the solemn decorations ail
Os ‘he great tomb of man. The golden sun,
The planets, all the infinite host of heaven.
Are shining ou the sad abodes of death,
Through the still lapse of ages. All that tread
The globe, are but a handful to the tribes
That slumber in its bosom.—T a ke the wings
Os morning, and the Barcan desert pierce,
Or lose thyself in the continuous woods
Where rcdls the Oregau, and hears no sound
Save his own dashings—yet, the dead are there,
And millions in those solitudes, since first
The flight of years began, have laid them down
In their last sleep—the dead reign there alone.
So sbalt thou rest—and what if thou shall fall
Unnotic’d by the living—and no friend
Take Bote of thy departure! All that breathe
will share thy desliny: the gay will laugh
And beauty of its innocent age cutoff—
When thou art gone, the solemn brood of care
flod on, and each one as before will chase
His favourite phantom, yet all these shall leave
Their mirth and their employments, and shall
come
And make their bed with thee; as the long train
Os ages glide away, the sons of men,
The youth in life’s green spring, and he who goes
In the full strength of years, matron and maid,
The bow’d with age, the infant in the smiles
Shall one by one be gathered to thy side,
By those, who in their torn shall follow them.
So live, that when th v summons comes to join
The innumerable caravan that moves
To the pale realms of shade, where each shall
take
His chamber in the silent halls of death,
Thou eo not, like the quarry slave at night,
Scourg’d to hisdungeon, but sustain’d and sooth’d :
By ao unfaltering trust, approach thy grave,
Like one who frraps the drapery of his couch I
About him, and lies down to pleasant dreams. j

J? APOLLON IN KXILE; OR, A VOICE FROM
ST. HELENA.
The Opinions and Reflections of Napoleon
on (he most important Events of his Life\
and Government , in his own Words. By
Barry O Meara, his late Surgeon.
No work ever appeared in the English language ‘
.io calculated to detain a person from his bed, or |
to descend to the latest posterity, as these vol-1
juries. They Dot onl} contain the stroog origual
opinions of the most extraordinary man that ever
Jived, but the} bring us acquaint*.l with every
circumstance of his character. We know the
author; sod, as we believe biin to he a truly hon
est and conscientious man, so we have no doubt
of the substantial correctness of most things
which he has narrated. Our extracts -.re copious;
And we hope we have enriched our pages with
the most piquant passages; hut we could hav
donbled their number with equal interest to our I
readers. Nothing fatigues in two full sized vol
umes ; but we have preferred the parts which re
late to European and publicktopicks ; and could
not abridge, without spoiling their effect, all those
details o. petty malignity, ty which a man, whose
name and fame will mark his age, when his ent
miss are forgotten, was hurried out of life by a
eysteiu of policy as unnecessary as it was tingene
r*w. The best excuse is erronr, for we hope
Itipii ere n.t wicked by design ; but as the conse
quences are not less fatal, how much we ought
to cherish free discussion, and listen to the admo
nnions of by-standers, before any thing is done,
w hich, if wrong, cannot be recalled.
[London Monthly Magazine.
PREFACE.
Piared by peculiar circumstances arising
from my profession, about the person of
the most extraordinary man perhaps of
any in the most critical juncture of his
life, I determined to profit by the opportu
nities afforded tne, as far as 1 could consist
ently with honour. The following volumes
are the result.
Toe few alleviations which I had it in
my power to offer, Napoleon repaid by the
condescension with which he honoured
me; ami my necessary professional inter
h course was soon increased into an inti
macy, if I may speak of an intimacy with
•uch a personage. In fact, in the seclusion
of Longtvood, he soon almost entirely laid
aside the emperour; with those about him
be conversed familiarly on his past life, and
sketched the characters and detailed the
anecdotes, which are presented faithfully
to the reader. The unreserved manner
in which he spoke of every thing can only
be conceived by those who beard him; and
though where his own conduct was ques
tioned, he had a natural human leaning to
wards himself, still truth appeared to be his
principal, if not bis only object. In the de
lineation of character he wa peculiarly
felicitous. His mind seemed to concen-
trate its beams on the object he wishe J to
elucidate, and its prominent features be
came instantly discernible. It may perhaps
be only right to add, that some of the ob
servations or argnments on particular sub
jects were committed to paper from Napo
j I eon's own dictation.
I spoke as little and listened as attentive
ly as I could, seldom interposing, except
for the purpose of lending to those facts ou
which I wished for information. To my
memory, though naturally retentive, I did
i not entirely trust; immediately on retiring
from Napoleon's presence, I hurried to my
chamber, and carefully committed lo paper
. the lopitks of conversation, with, so far ns
! l could, the exact words used. Where I
| had the least doubt as to my accuracy, I j
maikeditin my journal, and by u sobse
j quent recurrence to the toplck, when fu-i
ture opportunities offered, I satisfied my-’
self; this, alt bough I have avoided them as’
much as possible, may account for some
occasional repetitions, but I have thought
it belter to appear sometimes tedious, than
ever to run the risk of a mis statement.
I.ONGWOOD.
Longwood is situated ou a plain formed |
on the summit ol'a mountain about eighteen
hundred feet above the level of the sea ;
and including Deadwond, compiles four
teen or fifteen hundred acres of land, a
great part of which in planted with an in
digenous tree called gumvvood. Upon his
return from I.ongwood,Napoleon proceed
ed to the Briars, aud intimated to Sir
George that he would prefer remaining
there, until the necessary additions were
made to Longwood, to returning (o town,
provided th? proprietor's consent eouid be j
obtained. This request was immediately i
granted. The Briars is the name of an
estate romantically situated about a mile
and a half from James Town, comprising a
few Rcres of highly cultivated land, excel
lent fruit and kitchen gardens, plentifully
supplied with water, adorned with many
delightful shady walks, and long celebrated
for the genuine old English hospitality of
the proprietor, Mr. Balcombr. About
twenty yards from the dwelling house stood
a little pavilion, consisling of ohe good
room on the ground-floor, and two garrets,
which Napoleon, not willing to cause any
inconvenience to the family of his host, se
lected for his abodn. In the lower room
his camp-bed was put up, and in (his room
he ate, slept, read, and dictated a portion
of his eventful life. Las Casas and his son
were accommodated in one of the garrets
above, and Napoleon’s premier valet de
charabre, and others of his household, slept
in (he other, and upon the floor in the little
hall opposite the entrance of the lower
room. At first his dinner was sent ready
cooked from the town ; but afterwards Mr.
Balcomhe found means to get a kitchen fit
ted up for his ü ß e. j
Mr. Balcombe’s family consisted of his |
wife, two daughters, one about twelve and j
the other about fifteen years of age, and ■
two boys o! five or six. The young ladies
spoke French fluently, and Napoleon fre
quently dropt in to play a rubber of whist ;
or hold a little conversazione. On one oc- 1
casion he indulged them hy participating *
in a game of blindman's buff, very much to 1
the amusement of the young ladies. Noth- i
ing was left undone by thi- worthy family |
that could contribute to lessen the inconve
niences of his situation.

and immediately demanded if he. had per

he was a mad man.’ said be.’ ‘ He has died \
without having the esteem of mankind. He i
betrayed meat Fontainebleau; the procla
mation against the bourbons, which be aid
in his defence I caused to be given him,
was written by himself, a„d 1 De ver knew
any thing about that document until it was
read to the troops. It i„ t r „ e , that l sent
him orders to obey me. What could he do
His troops abandoned him. Not only the
troops, but the people wished to join me.’
MISS WILLIAMS.
1 had lent hitn Miss Williams’s “ Present
Slate of France,” to read. Two or three
days afterwards he said to me, while dress
ing, ‘That is a vile production of that lady
of yours. It is a heap of falsehoods. This,’
opening his shirk and she wing his flannel
waistcoat, ‘ is Ihe only coat of mail I .ever
wore. My hat lined with steel, too! There
i > s *he hat • wore,’ pointing to the one he
(always carried. ‘Oh, she has doubtless
been well paid for all the malice and the
falsehoods she has poured forth.
HIS HABITS.
Napoleon's hours of rising were uncer
tain, much depending upon (he quantum of
rest he had enjoyed during the night. He
was in general a bad sleeper, and frequent-1
ly got up at three or four o’clock, in which j
case he read or wrote until six or seven,
at which time, when the weather was fine,
he sometimes went out to ride, attended by
some of his generals, or laid down again to
rest for a couple of hours. Wheu he retired
to bed, he could not sleep unless the most
perfect state of darkness was obtained, by
the closure of every cranny through which
a ray of light might pass ; although I have
sometimes seen him fall asleep on Ihe sofa,
and remain so for a few minutes in broad
day-light. When ill, Marcband occasional
ly read to hitn until he fell asleep. At
times he rose at seven, and wrote or dicta
ted until breakfast time; or, if the morning
wa’ very fine, he went out to ride. When
be breakfasted in his own room, it was gen
erally served on u little round table, at be-
twees nine And ten ; when along with (he rest of
his suite, at eleven ; in eitherc***, a lafourcßtlte.
After breakfast, he generally dictated to his suite
for n few hours, and at two or three o’clock re
ceived such visiters, ns hy previous appointiucut
had been directed to present themselves. Be
tween four and five, when the weather permitted,
he rode out on horeback or in the carriage, ac
companied by all bis suite, for an hour or two ;
then returned and dictated or read until eight, or
i occasionally played a game at chess, at which
time dinner was announced, which rarely exceed
ed twenty minutes or half an hour ill duration,
lie i,te heartily and fast, and did not appear to
bp partial to liigb seasoned or rich food. One of
his most favourite dishes was a roasted leg of mut
ton, of which I have seen him sometimes pare the
1 ourside brown part off; he was also partial to mut
| ton chops. He rarely drunk as *,uch as a pint of
claret at his dinner, which was generally much
j diluted with water. After dinner, when the ser
j vants had withdrawn, and when there were no
| visiters, lie sometimes played at chess or at whist,
j hut more frequently sent for a volume of Corne
j illo, or of some other esteemed author, and read
aloud for an hour, or chatted with the ladies and
the rest of his suite. He usually retired to his
bedroom at ten or eleven, and to rest, immediate
ly afterwards. When he breakfasted or dined in
his own apartment {dam t'intchcur,') lie some
times sent for one of iis suite to converse with
him boring his repast. He never ate more than
j two meal* a day, nor, since 1 knew him, had he
ever taken more than a very small cup of coffee
after each repast, and at no other time. I have
also been informed by thoe who have been in his
service for fifteen years, that he had never ex
ceeded that quantity since they first knew him.
ST. HELENA.
In this isotamaladttta,’ said he, 4 there is neith
er sun nor moon to be seen for the greater part of
the year. Constant rain and fog. It is worse
than Capri. Have you ever been at Capri?’ con
tinued he. I replied in the affirmative. ‘There,’
said he. 4 you can have every thing you want from
the continent in a few hours.’ lie afterwards
I made a few remarks on some absurd falsehoods
j which had been made in the ministerial papers
i respecting him; and a,*ked if it were 4 possible
that the Emrli.li could b* so foolishly credulous as
tu believe all the stuff we published about him.’
ADMIRAL COtKBCRN.
4 He is not,’ said he, 4 a man of a bad heart ; on
the contrary, I believe him to be capable ofageu
erou action ; but be is rough, overbearing, vain,
cholerick, and capriciuus; never consulting any
body; jealous of his authority; caring little for
the manner in which he exercises it, and some
times violent without dignity.’
FEES.
He tlum asked me many questions about the
relative price of articles iu England and St. Hele
na, aud concluded by asking if I took any fee* for
attending sick people on the island. 1 replied in
the negative, which seemed to surprise him.
‘Corvisart,’ said he, 4 notwithstanding his being
nir first physician, possessed of great wealth, and
in the habit of receiving many rich presents from
me, constantly took a Napoleon for each visit he
paid to the sick. In your country, particularly,
every man has his trade: thn member of parlia
ment takes money for his vote, the ministers for
their places, the lawyers for their opiniou.’
CIIRONOMETBRS.
4 How shameful it is,’ said he, 4 for your govern- 1
incut to put three cr four hundred men ou board ‘
of a ship destined for this place, without a chro-1
noiaater, thereby running the risk of a ship and
cargo, of the value perhaps ofhall’ a million, to
gether with the livAs of so many poreri diatoli, for
the sake of saving three or four hundred franc* for
a watch. I,’ continued he, 4 ordered that everv !
ship employed in the French service should be I
supplied with one. It is a weakness in your gov- j
•uiment not to be accounted for ’ He then ask- >
ed me if it were true that a court of iuquiry wa
then holding upon some officer for having made
too free wilh the bottle. 4 ls it a crime,’ added ;
he, 4 for the English to get drunk, and will a court |
martial be the consequence? for, if that were the ‘
case, you would have nothing but courts martial,
every day. was a little merry on board :
every day after dinuer.” I observed that there
was a wide difference between being merry and
getting drunk. He laughed, and repeated what
he had said relative to courts martial. 4 ls it true,’.
said he, 4 then, that they are sending out a house
and furniture for ine, as there are ao many lies in
your newspapers, that 1 have my doubts, especial
ly as I have heard nothing about it officially ?’
