When Bonaparte® was created First Consul for lifo, his court was similar to that of a king. | An- clont customs were: revived, and tho code of eti- ustto was ns rigid as a hundred years before.- $9 tho Consul found that the palace of the Tailg~ ties was but a dull sojourn, ha spent most of lis Igigura. tima at Malmaison, although it was some- what too small for the etalage of power, - Seoing this; ho tool possasgion of the palace of St, Cloud, which ho had refused to necopt, whon previously offered to him, anying,-\I shall take nothing from the peoplo\-a promise, which he forgot as goon as he had overcome the first difficulties of his caraer.

Gaudin, prime minister, was, it is said, the first who presented himselfat a levee in a cont trimmed with lace. | 'The example was soon fol- lowed, and the laco and silk stockings replaced the aword and the boots, | Bonaparte himself at cont trimmed with red sill, and all the Euglish- men attonding on audience fad. their hair pow- dered. Some courtiers also wore powder. *'Pri- flee,\ saya n gravo historian, 4 had become state 'atfairs.\ The old ladies of the court of Louis XV, were at tho head ofthe anti-revolutionary. party ; the young ones were afraid that the old custuime | would be agnin introduced; buat Madame Bona- parto belonged to the opposition, and perhaps it b to hor that the French ladies owe the advan- tago of not having their hair powdered as of yore. Analogous to the Court of Versailles, a grout at- traction to thoso coming to the levee was the mass preceding: it, Many had lost the hnbit of going to church; some had helped to overthrow the state religion; however, nothing could bo more brilliant that this coromony ; the actrosses of the opera ang there ; and those who could not find room noar the wiudow, facing tho choir, walked and talked in the gallery, 'The Consul attended the chapel more rogulacly than Madame Bonaparte liked, - Josephine passionately loved her husband, who was already too much the victim of those om» bitious views which afterwards drove him to di- voree. Sho dreaded any rival that might by pes- sibility have made Bonaparte do without her.-- Now it happened that during mass the Emperor's windows opposite; which was occupied hy a young girl of great beauty, whose sparkling orks seemed to glide over a: little prayer book,in order to meet the piercing looks of the Consul. + Who is that young person ? asked Josephine of one af her ladies; *sho has, I think, some in- tentions: on Bonaparte, for I saw her drop a note which he-picked up,! No ona could satisfy Josephine. The young (lady was said to be English, but nothing more was known respecting hor. On tho day of the bil- lat, und after the leveo Boneparto had a fancy for a drive in tho park, four in hand. He had, hows» over, scarcoly taken the reins, when he fell from the seat. Mo tried to getup, but fell ogany ond ; fainted. 'The horees were frightoned and ran off. Duroc, however, contrived to stop them, nnd. the First Consul was curried to his apartments.- | Once recovered, ho remembered the billet dropped in the chapel; and Josephine, leaning over his shoulder, read, © Do not ride out to-day.\ +How could an accident of this kind ba fore- told ?\ exclaimed Napoleon. * Duroc, my friend, examine the carriage / Duroc obeyed, and entered soon after, pale and torrified; taking the Consul into the adjoining room, he said, +Consul, had you not met with this accident, we should all have been destroyed ! 'There was, in tho carriage, and under your seat, a shall loa» dod with shot. A fow minutes more and the match would have communicated to the gunpowder.- Foucho must bo told of this.' + Don't say a word about it,' answored the Con- sul ; ono attompt always brings on more.

'The Consul then raised his eyes, and in the up per pier saw the young gizl from the chapel of St. Cloud, who was gazing on him, and seemed thankful for his preservation. Her head had no other ornament than the long curls which floated down over her beautifal breast ; and on her shoul- ders was a little black cloak which she had worn on approaching the Consul's carriage. +Go !' said Bonaparte to Lannes, + to the upper tier ; you will find there, a young lady ; to whom must speak-there; do you see !-opposite.-- She wears a black cloak.\ Lannes went up, but the vision had fled ! Years went on; victory succeeded victory. At last the moment arrived when France was invad- ed and Napoleon was obliged to abandon the sceptre which,to use his own words, he had pick- ed up !' Tho Island of Elba became, for n time, tho most dazzling point in the universe. 'The Emperor mude but one step from the Gulf of Jurn to Paris, after which the empire was again thrown Into confusion by the battle of Waterloo. 'The lmperor, whose eagle was not thonecforth to take flight threw himself under the protection of England, Before cntering the boat which was to conduct him to the British ship,his friends placed themselves around him to toke a last farewell.- In the middle of the crowd, a female, of dazzling beauty, was seeo, trying to approach the Emperor, Hereyes were filled with tears, which rendered her still more interesting. *Read this !\ said she, handing a note to Bon- aparte ;' 't is still time © Napoleon read the note, and looking up, tho't himself once more in the park of St. Cloud, or at the Opera, listening to Haydn's Oratorio.

Lord Edward Fitzgerald. It may not perhaps, appear altogether ill-timed to mention in this place, that when Lord Edward laysuffering under the fatal wounds of which he died in 1798, a military man connected with govern- ment, who had known him at this time in Charles- ton, happening. to allude, during a visit to him in prison, to the cireumstances under which they had first become acquainted, the goliant sufferer ex- claimed-* Ab! I was wounded tien in a very different cause; that was in fighting against li- berty-this, in fighting for it.\ It is, indeed not a little striking that there should have been engeged at this time, on opposite sides, in America, two noble youths, Lafayette and Lord Edward Fitzgerald, whose political principles nf terward so entitely coincided ; and that, while one of thein was fated soon to become the victim of in unsuccessful assertion of theso principles; it has been the far brighter destiny of the other to con- tribute, more than ones, splendidly to their tri- umph. Hxhibition of Personal Courage by Lord Edward Fitzgerald, There took place on the Curragh of Kildare, a well known rencontre between his lordship and some dragoon officers, which-like most other well known anecdotes that the biographer has to inquire into--receives from every new relator a wholly different form. The following, however, are as nearly as possible, the real cireumstances of the transaction. Mr., Arthur O'Connor being af that time on a visit to his noble friend, they rode together, on one of the days of the races, to the Curragh-Lord Edward baying a. green silk handkerchief round his neek, It was indeed his practice, at all times, (contrary to. the usual cus tom of that day} to wear a colored silk neckeloth, -yencrally of that pattern which now bears the name of Belcher; but on the present cecasion he choso to wear the national, and at timo olnoxious eolon groev. At the cond of the race, having left the stand house in a canter to return home, the two friends bel not procearded far before they found them- gtlves overtaken by n party of from ton to a dozen officers, who, riding post them in full gallop, wheeled round, so as to obstruct their prseage, and demanded that Lord Edward should take off his green cravat. Thus accosted, his lordship answered coolly,--\ Your cloth would speak you to be gentlemen ; but this conduct conveys a very different impression. As to this neekeloth that so offends you, all I can say is, -here I stand ; let any among you, who dares, coms forward and take it off.\\ This speech, pronounced calmly and deliberately, took his pursuers by eurprise, and for doubtfal how to proceed, when Mr. terposing, said, that if the officers chose to appoint two out of theit number, Lord Edward and him , self would be found ready to attend their sum- mons at Kildare. 'The parties then seperated, and during the two following days Lord Edward and his friend waited the expected message,. But no farther steps were taken by these military gentle- men, on whose conduct rather a significant vere diet was passed ata Curragh ball, shortly after, when it was agreed, na T have heard, by all- the la» dies in the room, not to accept any of them as partners,. Moove's rocollection of Pitzgerald. With Lord Bdward I could have no opportuni- ty of forming any scqunintance, but romember (as if it had been but yesterday) having once seen him, in the year 1797, in Grafton street,-when, on being told who he was, as ht passed, I ran anx- fously after him, desirous of another look at one, whose name had, from my school-days, been asso- ciated in my mind with all that was noble; patriot- ic and chivalrous. Though I saw him but this once, his peculiar dress, the elastic lightness of his step, his fresh, healthful complexion, and the soft expression given to his eyes by their long dark eyelashes. are as present and familior to my me- mory as if I bad intimately known him. Little did T then think that; at an interval of four-and- thirty years from thence,-an interval equal to the whole span of his life at that period, -I should not only find myself the historian of his mournful fate, but {what to many will appear matter rather of shame than of boast) with feelings so little altered, either as to himself or his cause. The Arrest of Lord Edward Fitzgerald. As Mr. Murphy was standing within his gate way, there came a woman from Moore's with a bundle which, without saying a word, she put in- to his hands, and which, taking: for granted that it was for Lord Edward, he carried up to his lord ship. -It was found to contain n scout, jacket,and trousers of dark green edged with red, togother with a handsome military cap, of a conical form, At the sight of this unitorm, which for the first time led him to suspect: that a rising must be at hand, the fears of the already nervous host were redoubled ; and on being desired by Lord Edward buudle to a loft over one of 'his warehouses, and there lid it under some goatskins, whose offen- scurch. mind. A sergeant major, with a purty of soldiers of it, halting before Moore's door, hnowledge of his haunts, startled Lord: Edward and he expressed instantly a wish to be put it hours. Lord Bdward's ofticious friend Neilson was, i1 his usual flighty and inconsiderate manner, walk ing up and down the street, saying ocensionally,n he passed, to Murphy, who was standing in hi gatoway-* Is he snfe ? ¢ Look sharp.\ __ W hile this anxious scene was passing in on nenrone: Passages and Ancedotes in the Life of to put it somewhere out of sight, he carried the siveness he thought, would be a security against About the middle of the day an occurrence took placo, which, from its appearing to have some connection with the pursuit after himself, ox- cited a good deal of apprehension in his lordship's has been seen to puss up the street, and were at the moment when Murphy ran to apprize his gucst This suspi- cious circumstance, indicating as it seemed, some some place of secreey ; on which Murphy took down in one of the valleys formed between the roofs of his warehouses, left him there for some During the excitement produced in the neighborhood by the appenrance of the saldiers, nests quarter, treachory-and it. is still unknown from what source-was at work in another. It must have been late in the day that information of his lordship's hiding place reached the government ag Major Birr did not receive his . instructions on the subject till but a few minutes before he procee~ ded to execute them. | Mojor Swan and Mr.Ryan (the Intter of whom volunteered his services) tap. pened to be in his house at this moment ; and he had but time to take a few soldiers, in plain clothes, along with him-purpasing to send,on his | arrival in Thomas-street, for the pickets of infun- try and cavalry in that neighborhood. To return to poor Lord Bdward 1i-as soon as the alarm produced by the soldiers bad subsided, he ventured to leave his retreat, and resume his place in the back drawing room-where Mr. Murphy having invited Neilson to join them.they soon sat down to dinner, | 'The cloth had not been many minutes removed, when Neilson, as if sud- denly recollecting something, hurried out of the room and left the house; shortly after which Mr. Murphy, seeing that his guest was not \inclined to drink any wing, wont down stairs, - In a few min. utes after, however, returning, he found that his lordship hut in the interim, gone up to his bed- room, and, on following him thither, saw him ly- ing, without his coat, upon the bed. - Thore had now elapsed from the timc of Netlson's departure not more than ten minutes, and it is rseerted that he had, in going out left the hall door open. Mr. Murphy had just begun to ask his guest whether he would like some tea, when heurfig a trampling on the stairs, he turned round, and saw Major Swan enter the room.. Scarcely had this} officer time to mention the object of his visit, when Lord Edward jumped up; as Murphy de- scribes him, ** like a tiger,\ from the bed, on see- ing which, Swan fired a small pocket-pistol at him, but without effect; and then, turning round short upon Murphy, from whom he-scemed to appre- hend an aiack, thrust this pistol violently in his face, suying to a soldier, who just then entered, ''Pake that fellow away.' Almost nt the same instant, Lord Edward stroclt at Swan 'with a dagger, which it now appeared, be had in the bed with him; and immediately after, yan, armed only with a sword-cant, entered the room. In the meantime, Major Sir, who had stop» ped below to place the pickets round the house hearing the ¥eport of Swan's pistol, hurried up to the . landing, and from thenco saw, within the room, Lord Bdward struggling between Swan and Ryan, the latter down on the floor, weltering in his blood, and. both clinging to their powerful adversary, who was now drapging them towards the door. 'Phreatened, as he was, with a fate similar to that of his companions, Sirr had no al- ternative but to fire;, and, aiming his pistol delib- erately, he lodged the contents in Lord Edward's right arm, near the shoulder. 'The wound for a moment staggered him; but, as he again rallied, aud: was pushing towards the door, Major Sirr called up the soldiers; and so «desperate were their cuaptive's struggles,that they found it neces- sury to lay. their firelocks across him before he could. be disarmed or bound so as to prevent fur- ther mischief. It was during onc of these Instinctive efforts of courage that tie opportunity was, ns I under- stand, taken by a wretched drummer to give him a wound in the back of the neck, which, though slight, yet, from its position, contributed not a lit- tls to aggravato tho uneasiness of bis last hours.
