THE DAILY EVKN1NG TELEGRAPH PHILADELPHIA, MONDAY, OCTOBER 3, 1870.
THE CHARACTER OF APOLEON III.
A writer in the Galaxy in 18HG gave an
account of the daily life and character of the
Emperor Npoleon, which is doubly interest
ing now, coming aa it did from one whose
intimate association with the Tuileriea ena
bled him to speak from personal observa
tion: He is short of statnre, bnt broad and stout.
In fact his torso is that of a man of six feet
high and well-proportioned. His arms are
long and mustular, the hands bony and
strong, but bia legs are very short remark
ably bo from the knee clown. Hiding on
horseback, the Emperor appears to great ad
vantage; in fact, while sitting, he produces
the ellect of a large-sized man. When risen
to his feet, however, he seems unaccountably
ehort of stature. He is well a Tare of this
fact, and is fond, on all publio occasions, of
appearing on horseback. His walk U not
dignified he waddles. That this may not
be too noticeable, his Majesty has adopted
a slow, steady pace, from which he seldom
departs. His face is rather long, and ren
dered more bo from the tuft of beard grown
upon the chin, and which he twists to a point
with circ a moustache. His moustaches are
long and likewise twisted to a point, giving
to the countenance a sharper character. His
nose is aquiline, and his eyes are small and
far apart. The countenance has a docided
Jewish enst, and his enemies bay that this is
quite a natural result. There is, with but
rare exceptions, a cold, hard, indifferent ex-
f session in his eyes which are of a dull,
eaden gray and the whole appearance of
the man is one to chill and repulse the be
holder. All this changes, however, the mo
ment he smiles. Then he seems attractive;
the well-shaped mouth assumes an expression
of kindliness which is as beautiful in the
otherwise unattractive countenance as is the
most clearly defined and vivid rainbow across
a Btorm-darkened horizon. There is, in the
firm set of the head upon the broad anu short
neck, evidence of strength and power; and in
the calmness and quiet of the Emperor's man
tier lies the secret of his influence over more
impulsive and less reserved natures. Able to
restrain and govern his own emotions, he
naturally controls those of lesser wills; hence
the mastery he exerts over his immediate fol
lowers and adherents. But few of them, how
ever, are strongly attached to him, and he is
undoubtedly well aware of the fact. He has
but little faith in human nature, and no be
lief in human attachments. To secure the
continued fidelity of those who surround
him, he bestows upon them continued
favors. I have heard persons
who had remained by him
through his good and his bad fortune com
ment upon the fact that he never seemed to
trust to their love or affection, but always
dwelt upon the principle that in their support
of his plans and purposes they were but ena
bling him to reach a position which would
insure his power to confer upon them suitable
rewards. Since his acoession to the throne,
Napoleon has kept near him those who were
mainly serviceable in the successful accom
plishment of the plot. Not, however, as is
well known in France, from any feeling of
gratitude, but simply because in the transi
tion of the coup d'etat there took place cer
tain things of which the Emperor nowise
desired the publication. Hence it was a
matter of policy to conciliate these poople,
and they were the recipients of imperial favors,
dealt out in no niggardly manner. Prominent
among the individuals in question were the
Counts de Slorny, de Tersigny, Walewski,
General Fle-f-, Mocquard and others, all of
whom benefited vastly. Bat they knew to
what they owed the Imperial kindness, and
bnt felt assured of its continuance so long
as the power of Napoleon was not affirmed
beyond the reach of scandal. That they pos
sessed documents and proofs which the Em
peror deemed valuable or dangerous may be
believed from the fact that the moment he
heard of the death of Mocquard, who was his
private secretary, he at once repaired to his
apartments and took possession of, and car
ried away, all his private papers. The same
thing occurred when Count de Morny, or
rather Duke, as he had become by favor of the
Emperor, died. His Majesty drove to the resi
dence of the '.Duke and ransacked
bis papers. There were undoubtedly
in the keeping of those men
grave secrets, hence their tenure of office and
favor. He has undoubtedly been, on many
occasions, kind and generous where the re
cipients of his benefits had no claim upon
turn, but, as a general thing, these acts of
kindness were not without an arriere vensee,
No sovereign now existing has a keener
Knowledge of the eflects to be produced upon
the masses by the semblance of generosity
and the determination to recognize merit. In
France there were never so many rewards,
bo many decorations, so much advancement
given to lesser offioials and to soldiers and
non-commissioned officers. But this does
not proceed from an overflow of gener
ous sentiment. The lmperor, in pursuing
this course, merely seeks to attach the people
to aim tnrougn tneir interests.
I mentioned above that Napoleon smokes
inoeBsantly. He does this to excess, seeming
to enjoy the quiet, dreamy state into which
the tobacco plunges ntui. lie uses cigarettes,
larger than the usual size, and for hours has
one lighted in his mouth. As the bre ap
proaches his ringers, he abstractedly takes
from the packet near him a tresn cigarette,
lights it, puffs volumes of smoke from nose
and mouth, and leaning back, seems to take
nleasure in beinc half hidden bv the vaDor
He laughingly asserts that iu th?se moments
of abstraction he forms his plans for the
future, and that he owes his success in life
to the more than ordinary amount of reflec
tion indulged in during these, dreamy inter
vals. Of course I have no intention of caus
' ing it to be understood that such familiar re
marks were made to me by the Emperor.
Facts such as the above I gleaned from con
stant intercourse with his most intimate fol
lowers and friends, who are fond of expatiat
ing upon his peculiarities. '
No one except the Englishman Kinglake
has ever expressed any doubt regarding the
personal courage of his Majesty. He has
evinced on many oooasions a coolness and de
termination more remarkable than any im
pulsive or hasty daring. I remember staud
lna near him on the night Orsini and his ac
complices endeavored to kill hi in with ex
plosive bombs, and came bo near succeeding.
A huge piece of broken iron passed through
the carriage, near the Emperor's hetd, sm tun
ing the glasses, and a piece scratched his
nose bo that the blood trickled dwn.
The noise and confasion, the plugg
ing of the wounded horses, the soreaiis f
the dying among the crowd, many of wu iui
were struck by the missiles, appareutly h-id no
effect upon Napoleon's nerves. He was o.tlm
and collected, issued orders regarding the
wounded, whom he desired to be atteude 1 by
the court physicians, and then, with ttia
almost fainting Empress npon bia arm, ha
entered the opera house as though- nothing
bad happened. Over and over again, when
warned that there was likelihood of his being
attacked while passing through the streets,
he has ordered hia escort to fall back, and
ridden far in advance, determined to run the
risk without endangering others. lie, how
ever, has his moments of fear. At times he
is oppressed by presentiments, and at these
periods beoomea morose, unapproachable, ex
ceedingly bitter and Rarcastio in hia address to
those who surround him. His immediate sur
rounders give him all the solitude he desires
when these fits are npon him, and throughout
the palace Ic jours noirs de a Majette the
Emperor's dark days have a decided influ
ence. When he becomes more cheerful, the
fact is evinced by hia ordering a shooting ex
cursion, during which pastime he is as nearly
gay aa one ever sees him. He selects hia
favorites to accompany him, and with a sort
of morbid pleasure trudges through the
covers to be hunted over so rapidly that hia
followers soon become worn out. His strong,
short legs seem never to weary, and as he
notices the latitude of the others, he smiles
grimly, and if they fairly break down, the
smile becomes a chuckle. Toe servants
in the palace tell many amusing stories
regarding the queer doings of the
lumper or when the morose tit . ia upon
bim. They say that in his n m he arranges
things to suit himself hngi his engravings
and family portraits, places the furniture, and
Eiles away his letters and papers. So long as
e is, in his way, cheerful, he seems satisfied
with the disposal of the rooms; but during
"the dark days he takes down the pictures.
moves the furniture and the books, all the
while grumbling and growling at himself. On
these occasions the -mailre d'hotel of the
palace is in despair. The dinners are always
"detestable, the wines "sour in short, the
great "Cicsar" is as fretful and whimsical in
his blues as the most petted and spoiled girl.
By contrast, at other times he eats and drinks
anything, makes no complaint, and gives less
trouble than the most insignificant member
of hia household.
I mir-ht cite manv little incidents to orova
that Napoleon has no very line feelinos, but
the following will suffice. As is well known,
he is fond of riding and driving splendid
horses. Naturally enough, one would sup
pose that when these latter have done him
good service, in fact been used up by his
overriding or overworking them, for the rest
of their lives they would be well taken care
of. Nothing of the sort; no such good for
tune awaits them. I have seen horses which
for years had borne hia Majesty faithfully,
ending tneir days in the shafts of a butcher a
cart. The moment they are no longer an to
the mark, they are civen away or sold for a
trifle. They must no longer cumber the Im
perial stables. This fact speaks volumes in
proof of utter selfishness and want of senti
ment on the part of the Emperor. A gentle-
man'grants a home to a dog or a horse which
has been faithful and true. He sees to it
that after their toil and service they may end
their days in comfort. As far as Napoleon is
concerned, the dogs are shot and the horses
sold. Were it necessary, I could enumerate
instances in which the coldest treatment to
men who had been devoted and true, but
were no longer needed, proved that Napo
leon is not overburdened with kindliness, and
that he is a stranger to gratitude.
napoleon Has one hxed idea which has al
most become a mania; that is, the discovery
of Borne terrible engine of warfare, some ex
traordinary musket or cannon. He' is theo
retically and practically one of the most
skilful artillerymen of the day; and he bends
his energies towards the perfection of that
branch of military science unceasingly. It
will be borne in mind that he was the first to
use rifled cannon, to the efficacy of which he
owed in a great measure the brilliant series
of victories which marked the campaign of
18.V.) as one of the most successful the French
may boast of.
On bis return to France the Emperor was
more than ever occupied in examining into
new inventions of cannon and firearms, and for
months he and Colonel Fave, one of his
favorite aides-de-camp, passed hours each day
making experiments. At the Tuileries, at
Fontainebleau, at Compiegne, and at St.
Cloud, there are rooms which may be termed
arsenals, so filled are they with the arms
which the Emperor has invented, bought, or
received from those who are aware of . his
passionate desire to examine and try every
species of fire-arms. He is somewhat of an
alchemist, and at times diligently endeavors
to fabricate explosive snbstances of unheard
of power; but the constant requirements
of office, the routine of Imperial life, take
him away perforce from these cherished pur
suits, and of late ill-health has put a stop to
his experiments of the above nature. He
has numberless models of iron-olad vessels,
and but few would be inclined to believe how
much treasure has been spent in endeavoring
at the national ship yards and foundries to
carry out the Emperor's ideas of what maybe
done in the way of producing a resistless and
monster iron man-ef-war. These experiments
are kept secret, as they generally fail, but
tne determination of his Majesty is not to be
repressed, and he will doubtless keep on in
his search after the terrible until death shall
put a stop to the workings of his ever an
xious, ever ambitious brain. '
RUSSIA.
Her Military nnd Naval Force.
The Russian fleet consists of two great
divisions the fleet of the Baltio and that of
the Black Sea. Each of these two fleets is
again subdivided into sections, of which
three are in or near the Baltic, and three in
or near the Black Sea, to which must be
added the small squadrons of galleys, gun
boats, and similar vessels.
' According to an offioial report, the Russian
fleet consisted last year of 2'JO steamers,
having 38,000 horse power, with 2205 guns,
besides 2'J sailing vessels with ti. guns. The
greater and more formidable part of this
navy was stationed in the Baltio. The Black
Sea fleet numbered 43; the Caspian, 30; the
Siberian or Pacific, 30; and the Lake Aral or
Turkman squadron, 1 1 vessels. The rest of
the 6bips were either stationed at Kronstadt
and Sweaborg or engaged in cruising in
European waters.
The iron-clad fleet of war consisted at th )
commencement of 18418 of 21 vessels, with an
aggregate of 14: guns.
The largest of the iron-clads are two armed
frigates, the Sevastopol and l'oiarski. The
Sevastopol nearly equals the British iron
clads Black l'nnce and V arrior In her ditnen
sions, and exceeds those of the French Gloire
and Normandie. At the time of flotation the
Sevastopol measured 300 feet in length, and
her greatest breadth is 52 feet 3 inches. - The
ship draws 2 feet at the poop and 21 at the
cnuiiiH. iter plates are 4 inoues thick, fast
ened to a double coating of teak from 6 to 0
inches thick.
Her engines have a nominal force of 800
horse-power, and the is armed with steel
gnns of the greatest cdihre. liar prow has
a beak of a formidable kind attaohed to it.
The Pojarski's armament is placed in a cen
tral battery, occupying about 80 feet on the
length of the gun-deck, both Bides and ends
being completely armor-clad. The armament
consists of eight SOO-ponnder steel guns, !
four on each side.
The Imperial navy was manned at the be
ginning of 1807 by ;),2.'Mi sailors and marines,
under the command of 37!)1 officers, among
whom are 119 admirala and generala.
Russia controls in time of war an army of
more than 1,000,000 soldiers, while she has a
navy capable of obstructing commerce and
inflicting extensive injury on an enemy. The
annual expenditure for the army is $$0,()D0,
000, and for the navy $15,000,000.
Russia has been recen ly adapting herself
to the present system of warfare. The army
was to have been fully supplied with new
weapons by April last, and by the end of the
year the War Department would have at its
disposal GS)5,000 breech-loaders f2 000 ac
cording to' the Krink system, and the rest
according to the Berdan.
The artillery branch of the service has re
ceived special attention. Ths mountain and
field artillery are now completely supplied
with improved bronze guns of calibre from
to 0, rifled, breech-loading, and mounted on
iron carriages. The siege and battery guns
for the attack or defense of fortified places
and the coasts comprise rifled mortars and
guns frani 8-inch to 11-inch calibre, throwing
projectiles up to fr,0 pounds. The use of
prismatio powder is now general, and the
manufacture is being extensively carried on
at the Okhta Works. Tha foundries of
St. Fetersburg, Briansk, and Fetrozadovsk
are capable of supplying 800 cannons per
year. The factory at Vassili Ostrow already
turns out 300,000 cartridges per diem, and
will shortly be able to furnish f00,000. The
small arms manufactories are able to trans
form in twenty-four hours 2000 muskets of
the old pattern to the rapid firing system of
Kruka, and the number of continuous fire
mitrailleuses, whose range exceeds that of in
fantry weapons, is amply sufficient for all
eventualities. New establishments are
being formed at Krasno-Selo, Riga,
Moscow, Warsaw, "Wilna, Kharkow, Ka
zan, Odessa, and in the Caucasus.
Finally, the Academy of Artillery, of
which Lieutenant-General Flatow is tha
director, is in a perfectly satisfactory state,
as is shown by the constantly increasing
standard of instruction among the cadets, sub
officers, and troops. The Imperial Corps of
Engineers, at the head of which are placed
the Grand Duke Nicholas and General Totle
ben, is also progressive, and its literature, as
well as the works executed by the corps, tends
to show the immense progress which military
science is making in Russia. New defenses
in iron are to be placed at Kronstadt, to resist
the attack of iron-clad vessels, All the pon
toon detachments have been provided with
iron boats, and 1000 submarine torpedoes are
now manufactured annually.
