THE DAILY EVENING TELEGRAPH PHILADELPHIA, WEDNESDAY, SEPTKMBE R 14, 1870. FALL OF 1H.R FIRST NirOLEOX. Tbe incidents that attended the final de scent from the French throne of Napule on I are endowed with fresh interest at the mo ment of the downfall of Lis nephew. It ia fair to remember, in estimating the compa rative difficulties by which the two men were surrounded, that Napoleon III. ascended the throne at about the same age at which Napoleon I was finally overthrown, and that the reign of the former as Emperor was about double in years that of the latter. Napoleon III wielded the sceptre about aa loDg as his predecessor, Louis Thilippc that is to say, a few months short of eiglittt n years. So fur as credit is due for mnintniuirtg control during a long period over an exceptionally turbulent and excitable people, Napoleon III desorves a large Bhaie of it. Unlike Lis uncle, who abdicated, he was dethroned iu his absence by the act of tbe people. Paris never turned upon him while present; although his imputed Baying that he will return thither, "not to give u reckoning but t ) exact One," may be the utterance of resentful despair. "We must not lorget that from 18.2 he was only in Paris as a reigning sovereign. Napoleon I thoroughly expected to have won the battle of Waterloo. His exulting exclamation on seeing the English army, on the morning of the 18th of June, drawn up on the heights opposite the eminence of La Belle Alliance, "At last, then, I have these English in my grasp," entirely represented his anticipations of triumph. Of his subse quent observations on the subject, those made to O'Meara, at St. Helena, are among the clearest and most decisive: 'I told him," said O'AIeara, "that Lord "Wellington had determined never to quit the field of battle alive." "He could not leave it," replied Napoleon; "he could not retreat. He would have been destroyed, with his whole army, lie said so himself to that cavalry oflicer who was wounded. If Grouchy had come up at that time instead of the Prussians, sot a man would have escaped." O Meara asked him if he had not believed for a long time that the Prussians who ad vanced on Lib right were Grouchy 's division. He replied: "To be sure I did; and I can even now scarcely account for tho reason why it was not Grouchy 's division instead of them." O'Meara then asked him what ho supposed would have been the event if neither (Jruuchy nor the Prussians had come up that day if it would not have been a drawn battle whether both armies would not have kept their ground?" "No," was his reply, "the Englihh army would have been destroyed. It was defeated Veforo midday. I should have gained everything, I had gained every thing. I beat tho Prussians, but accident, or more likely dtstiny, decided that Lord Wellington should gain it, and he did so. He was fortunate accident and destiny favored him. I could scarcely have believed lie would have given me battle, because if he had retreated, as he ought to have done, to Antwerp I must have been over ' whelmed by armies of three or four hundred thousand men coming against me whom I could not poKsibly have resisted. Besides, if they intended to give battle, it was the greatest coyliontria in the world to separate the Prussian and English armies; they ought to have been united, and I cannot conceive the reason of their separation. It was also coylioneria in him to hazard a battle in a place where, if defeated, all must have been lost, for he could not retreat. He would have been altogethtr destroyed. He suffered him self to be surprised by me. He ought to have had all his army encamped from the beginning of June, as he must have known that I intended to attack him; he might have lost everything by it; it was a great fault on his part; but he has been fortunate, and everything he did will meet with ap plause. Sly intentions were to destroy the English army. This I knew would produce an immediate change of Ministry. The in dignation against the Ministry for having caused the lo.ss of 40,000 of the flower of the English army, of the sons of first families and others w ho would have perished there, would have excited such a popular commo tion that tley would have been turned out. The people would have said: What is it to us who is on the throne of France, Louis or Napoleon ? The English would have made peace. The Saxons, Ba varians, Belgians, Wurtembergers, and others would have joined me. The Russians would have made peace. I should have been quietly seated on the throne." Tbe effect of the loss of Waterloo on Na poleon was almost maddening. He raved in alternate paroxypms of grief and anger, although he did not, as, aooording to Caulain court, he tried to do after his abdication in 1814, attempt to commit suicide by taking prison at Fontaineblean. He returned after Waterloo, as is known, immediately to the Elysee. "He endeavored," says Caulaincourt, "to give vent to the emotions of his heart, but his oppressed respiration permitted him to articulate only broken sentences." "The army," he said, "has performed prodigies of valor. ...inconceivable efforts.... What troops! Ney behaved like a madman He caused cay cavalry to be cut to pieces All has been sacrificed I am ill and exhausted I must lie down for an hour or two My head burns I must take a bath." After his bath, "It is grievous," he continued, "to thick that we should have been overcome after so many heroio efforts. My most bril liant victories do not shed more glory on the French Army than the defeat of Mont St. Jean Our troops have not been beaten; they have been sacrificed massacred by overwhelming numbers My guards suf- . fered themselves to be cut to pieces without asking for quarter I wished to have died with them, but they exclaimed, 'Withdraw, withdraw, you see that death is resolved to spare your Majesty ;' and, opening their ranks, my old grenadiers screened me from the carnage, forming around me a rampart of their bodies My brave, my admirable guard has been destroyed and I have not perished with them." "I had," resumed the Emperor, "conceived bold manoeuvre witn tue view or prevent ing the i unction of the two hostile armies. I cad combined my cavalry into a single corps of twenty thousand men, and ordered it to rush into the midst of the Prussian cantonments. This bold attack, which was executed on the 11th with the rapidity of lichtniBG?. seemed likely to decide the fate of the campaign. But I was compelled to chancre mv plan. Instead of making an nnexnected attack. I found myself obliged to engage in a regular battle, having opposed to ma two combined armies supported by immense reserves. The enemy' forces quadrupled the number of ours. I had cal culated all the disadvantages of a regular battle. The infamous desertion of Bourmont forced me to change all my arrangements." The original abdication at Fontaineblean, if fore the departure for Elba, was oouched in these words: The allied powers having prooldisuei that the Emperor Napoleon was the sole obstacle to the re-establishment of peace, the Empe ror Napoleon, faithful to his oath, declares that be is ready to descend from the throne, to quit France and life itself for the good of the country; but without prejudice to the rights of Lis son, to those of the Empress as lit gent, and to the maintenance of the laws of the Empire. "Given at our Talace of Fontaineblean, tho 4th day of April, 1814." On the ;th of April this was altered so as to read as follows: "The allied sovereigns having declared that the Emperor Napoleon is tho sole obsta cle to the restoration of a general peace in Europe, the Emperor Napoleon, faithful to his oath, declares that he renounces for hioi Felf end his heirs the throno of France and Italy; and that there is no personal sacrifice, Dot even that of life itself, which be is not willing to make for the interests of France." This abdication, of course, was not final the last and conclusive act having been made in favor of his son, June 22, 1815. The lat ter, Napoleon II, born in 1811, died July 22, 1K'2, at tLe Ptlnce cf Schoenbrun. It was after the first abdication, and immediately following the escape from Elba, that the Mdiitmr, then the organ of Louis XVIII, thus recorded the progress of tho returning Emperor from day to day: "The Anthropophagist has Escaped." "The Corsicau gre has Landed." "The Tiger is Coming." "The Monster has Slept at Grenoble." "The Tyrant has Arrived at Lyons." "The Usurper has been Seen in the Envi rons of Paris." "Bonaparte Advances Toward, but Will Never Enter, the Capital." "Napoleon Will be Under Our Ramparts To-Morrow." "His Imperial Majesty Entered the Trrile. ries on the 21st of March in the Midst of His Faithful Subjects." Some of Napoleon's explanatory and excul patory utterances while in exile have a spe cial value for Americans, and it is interest ing at this time to read them. Take for ex ample the following to Las Cases in St. Helena: "See in the United States' how, without any effort, everything prospers; how happy and peaceful everything is there; it is in reality the public will and interests which govern there. Put the same Government at war with the will, the interests of all, and you will immediately see what confusion and what increase of armies would ensue. Arrived at power, thoy would have had mo a Washington; the words cost nothing, and surely those who said them with such facility did so without knowing either times, or places, or men, or things. If I had been in America, I would willingly have been a Washington, and I should have had but littlo merit, for I do not see how it would have been reasonably possi ble to do otherwise. For me, I could be nothing but a crowned Washington. It was not possible in a congress of kings, in the midfat of kings conquered or mastered, for me to be otherwise." And again, to Montholon: "If I had not conquered at Austerlitz I should have had all Prussia on me. If I had not been victo rious at Jena, Austria and Spain would have attacked me in the rear. If I had not tri umphed at Wagram which, by-the-by, was not so decisive a victory I had to fear tnat Itussia would abandon me, that Prussia would rise against me; and, in the mean time, the .English were already before Ant werp. "1 saw that theuestinios of France depended upon me alone. The circumstances in which the country was place I were extraordinary and entirely new. It would be vain to seek a parallel to them. The stability of the edi fice of which I was the keystone but depended upon each of my battles. Had I been con quered at Marengo, Franco would have en countered all the disasters of 1814 and 1815, without those prodigies of glory which suc ceeded, and which will be immortal. At Austerlitz, at Jena, at Wagram and at Eylau, t was the same. The vulgar failed not to blame my ambition as tho cause of these wars, but they were not of my choosing. lhey were caused by tho nature and force of events. They arose out of that conflict of the past and the future, that permanent coali tion of our enemies, which compelled us to snbdue under pain of being subdued." TLe prescience of the following in the ad vice to his son, dictated to Montholon, is re markable: "The whole mass of the people, and tho whole army, up to the grade of captain, were on my side. 1 was not deceived in feeling this confidence. They owe me muoh. I was their true representative. My dictatorship was indispensable. The proof of this is that they always offered me more power than I desired. In the present day there is nothing possible in France but what is necessary. It will not be tne eamo witn my son. uis power will be disputed. lie must anticipate every desire for Lbcity. Words cost nothing, as Napoleon truly said, and the world will soon, no doubt, be favored with the explanations and aphorisms of his defeated successor. That he will leave to his son, in place of the crown he was powerless to keep, a legacy of wise counsel is probable; but whether that son will ever have better opportunities to apply it to government than Lad Lis cousin, Napoleon II, time only can dtteimine.
