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.
