him with a writ,"paying all fees. &c. so 
that Mr. Tooke observed, 44 he had only 
two or three guineas to pay on his en¬ 
tering the House of Commons.” 
Lord C. at one period, lamented that 
his education had been greatly neglect¬ 
ed: he added at the same time, 44 he 
regretted exceedingly, that he had run 
away from the Charter House.” On 
this, Sir Francis with a deep sigh, ob¬ 
served, 44 that he had also to lament 
that he had run away from Westmin¬ 
ster.” Mr.Horne Tooke, consoled them 
both, by observing, 44 that he had run 
away from Eton!”

SONG by J. H. TOOKE. 
Oh, my Crowny’s quite up side downy, 
Oh, you’ve brought me to a fine pass; 
Corsica’s master’s full of disasters ; 
You shall receive due returns by the mass. 
Instead of a peerage, you shall have jeer- 
And for a ribbon, the ears of an ass ; 
What ! the ears of an ass ? 
Yes—for Harry Dundass, 
And the horns of an ox 
On his forehead of brass. 
Oh, all’s Ruin, no peace is brewing ; 
Oh, you promised me I should be quit, 
Foreign Literature. [Dec. 1, 
Negociations, cant, and vexations, 
Malmesbury,Hawkesbury, all are well bit; 
For this delusion, shame and confusion, 
Hypocrite, nought but the gallows is fit. 
What! the gallows for Pitt ? 
Yes—there is nothing so fit, 
For that insolent, false, 
Hypocritical Pitt. 
Oh, my Army, how you alarm me, 
Keep them so close, they mayn’t hear peo¬ 
ple cough, 
If they love freedom, we shall not need 'em, 
Eastward, and westward, and south pack 
them off; 
Good Master Windham, rarely has thinn’d 
’em : 
This he facetiously terms killing off; 
Will he say killing oft'? 
Yes—with.jeering and scoff*, 
’Till the turn-about reptile, 
Himself, is turn'd off. 
Oh, my Treasure, gone beyond measure. 
Oh, all’s lost in this cursed fray ; 
Hanover, Brunswick, nay all are turn’d 
sick, 
Saxony, Prussia, Sardinia, 
Hesse, Spain, and Holland, Germany, all 
Land, 
Loyalist, royalist, and Corsica; 
What ! all gone away ? 
Yes—for ever, and aye, 
And they laugh at the dupe. 
Whilst they pocket his pay. 
NOVELTIES OF FOREIGN LITERATURE 
THE EMPEROR NAPOLEON 
A WORK has just been published in 
Paris, by Santini, Napoleon’s faithful 
valet, under the title of 44 Chagrins Domes- 
tiques de Napoleon Bonaparte & l’lsle 
Sainte H61&ne; precede de Faits Histori- 
ques de la plus haute importance ; le 
tout de la main de Napoleon , ou ecrit 
sous sa dictee, &c.” 
The following is extracted from an ad¬ 
vertisement prefixed to the work : 
The pieces of which this work is 
composed, were brought from St. Helena 
to England, by the ship Heron. The 
person who was in possession of them 
transmitted them to France in the month 
of July. Powerful considerations make it 
imperative on us not to enter into any de¬ 
tail on the manner by which these pieces 
have become private property. As to their 
authenticity, it is more than sufficiently 
proved by the important secrets which the 
work contains, and which are now brought 
to light for the first time. 
A double motive has determined us in 
the publication of this work. 
1st. A report was prevalent in Lon¬ 
don, that the British government secured 
the inspection of all the manuscripts left 
by Bonaparte, without regard even for 
those with whom they were deposited. It 
was even said that Sir Hudson Low e provi¬ 
sionally seized upon all the papers of his 
late prisoner. If this fact is certain, this 
work will only possess the greater merit. 
2d. We have thought that every thing 
which relates to that extraordinary man 
ought to be handed down to posterity. 
We now hasten to lay the most valuable 
extracts before our readers : 
historical PARTICULARS, commenc¬ 
ing with the siege of toulon, en¬ 
tirely from the hand-writing of napo¬ 
leon. 
At the siege of Toulon, I began to 
perceive that every thing which formed 
part of the revolution had not the se¬ 
cret of pleasing me. My reasoning was 
just, and I .had on my side every officer 
who merited that title. What a pity 
to see statesmen, (for it was necessary 
at this epoch to call them so) what a 
pity, I say, to see members of a tribune 
coming to distribute manoeuvres to men 
whose sole profession consisted in mak¬ 
ing them. The representatives sent to 
the armies cost France the loss of 
200,000
