NAPOLEON 81l Appearance Before the Convention' BY JOHN S. C. ABBOTT. The National Convention now prepared another constitution for the adoption of the people of France. Tb 6 executive power, instead of being placed in the hands of one king, or president, was entrusted to five chiefs, who wore to bo oatlod Directors. The legls lativo powers wore committed to two bodies, as in tiro United Slates. Tho first,-corresponding to the United States Senate, was to be called the Council of Anciento," It was to consist of two hundred and fifty laembors, each of whom was (o bo at least forty years onpge, ond a married man or a widower.* An un tnkrrted roan wasnol considered worthy of a.post of such responsibility in the service of tho State. Tho second body -was called the Council of Five Hundred, from the number of members of which it was to be composed.: It corresponded with our House of Rep resentatives, and each of its was to. bo at least thirty years of ago.. This constitution was far superior to any other which bad yet been formed. It was framed by the moderate republicans, who wished to establish S re publican government, protecting Fronee on the. one hand from the royalists, who would re-establish tho Bourbons upon the throne, and on the other hand from the. misrule of (ho violent Jacobins; who wished to perpetuate the Reign of Terror. This constitution was sent down to the primary assemblies of the poo* pie, for their adoption or .rejection. It was accepted promptly in nearly all the rural districts, and was adopted.by acclamation in the army. The city of Paris was divided into 96 sections, or wards, in each of which, as in our cities, the inhabi (ants of that particular .ward assembled'At'lhe pulls. When the constitution was tendered,to Jbcs? several .sections ofPaiis, 48 of them voted, lujts, favor, while 46 rejected if. The royalists and tho. Jacobins, tho two jpxlromcs, united in thc.opppfftido,’ oadh- ; pArly hoping that by (lie overthrow of v/fiW» might obuin Uio precedence; Thp Convention declared lh«t tb'o mr»JorUy of (fienation harfjjvory where pronounced in favor of (ho new constitution, and they prepared to carry its provisions into effect. The opposing sections, pow thoroughly aroused, be gan to arm, resolved upon violent resistance. ( Tho Parisian mob, ever ready for an outbreak, joined most heartily with their more aristocratic leaders, and all Paris seemed to bo rousing to attack (ho Con jrpUtion. Tho National Guard, a body of soldiers corresponding with the American militia, though far better officered, equipped and drilled, joined promptly the Insurgents. Tho insurrcction.gun was fired, the looain polled, pnd the gloomy, threatening masses, marshalled under able loaders, swarmed through the streets. The Convention was in tho utmost slate of trepidation; for. In those days ofanarohy,blood flowed like water; and life had no sscrodncss. It was not a mob of a few hundred straggling men and boys who wsrp-to surround (heir hall with hooting* and to break their windows; but a formidable army of forty thousand men,in battle array, with artillery and mut kelry, headed by veteran generals, who had fought tho battles pflho old monarchy, with glooming ban ners and trumpet tones, wore marching down from all quarters of the city, upon the Tuillortcs. To meet (his foei tho Convention had at its command but five thousand regular troops; and it was uncertain but that (bey, in the moment of peri), might fraternize witn the insurgents. Gen. Mcnou was appointed, by the Cunvention, to quell tho insurrection. Ho march- 1 ed to meet the enemy. Napoleon, intensely Inter, cited in the pasalng scones, followed lh<* solid columns ofMenou. -Out the general,a mild and Inefficient man, with no nerve to moot such n crisis, was alarm* ed ia view of the numbers end tho influence of his antagonists, and retired before them. Shouts of vic tory, resounded f fora the National Guards through all tho streets of Parts. They were greatly emboldened by this.trlumpb, and felt confident that tho regular troops would hot dare to fire upon (ho citizens. Tho •hades of night were now settling down over the agitstod oily. Napoleon, having witnessed the unsuc cessful mission of Monou, ran through tho streets to the Tulllorios, and ascending (ho gallery whoro the Convention was silting, viewed with a marble blow, and a heart opparontly unegitated, tho scene of con fusion there. It was eleven o’clock at night, and tho doom of the Convention scorned sealed. In the utmost alarm, Meoou was dismissed, end the unlimited com mand of tho troops intrusted (o Darras* The office w,ts full of peril. Successful resistance seemed im possible, and unsuccessful was certain death. Oarros hesitated, when suddenly be reoollcotod Napoleon, whom bo bad known at Toulon, and whoso military science and energy, and reckless disregard of hisown life, and of tho lives of all others, ho well remembered. }lq immediately exclaimed, 11 1 .know tho man who osn defend us, Ifeny .one can. It is a young Corsican officer, Napoleon Bonaparte, whoso military abilities 1 witnessed st Toulon. Ho Is a man who will not stand upon ceremony," Napoleon was in the gallery si (he time, and it. is not impossible that the eye of Darras, chancing to light upon him, caused the sug gestion. Ho was immediately Introduced to tho Convention. They expected (o eoo a man of gigantic ftsmo and soldierly bearing, brusque and imperious. To their surprise, (hero appeared before thorn a small, slender, pale.faced, smooth cheeked young man, apparently •bout eighteen years of ogp. The President said, "Are you willing to undertake the defence of the Convention ?" ‘‘Vos 1" woe the calm, laconic reply. After a moment's hesitation, tho President continued, "Are you aware of the magnitude of tho undorl&k tag?" Napoleon fixed that eagle glance upon him, which few could meet and not quail before it, and replied, 11 Perfectly: and 1 am in the habit ofaccom plishlng that whisn I undertake." There was some thing in tho tone and the manner o/th is extraordinary roan, which secured for him immediately tho confi dence of all tho members of tho house. His spirit so calm and imporlurtblo, in tho midst of u scone so exciting, impressed them with a conviction (hat they were in tho presence of one of no common powers. After the exchange of a few more words, Napoleon •aid, 11 Ono condition Is indisponslblo. 1 must have the unlimited command,entirely onlrammolodby any orders from the Convention." It was no llrno for debate, and (hero was unhesitating acquiosenoo In his demand. Tbo promptness, energy, and unfailing mourcoa of Nipolcon, were now moal conspicuously displayed* Al Sablons, about fivo mlloi from Paris,there waa a powerful park of artillery, consisting of llfty heavy guns, Napoleon Instantly despatched Mural, with * P hr *7 (o' take Ihoao guns, and bring (hem i lo (no Tuillerics.-Theywore seized, by. tho rnountod Iroopa bul a few moments before a party of infantry arrived from (ho sccUons,Torlho same purpose. Tho insurgent*, though more numerous, dared no'l attack the.dragoons, and the guns were lakes In safety (p Napoleon; and ho disposed (hem, heavily charged wllh grape shot, in such a way as to sweep all .the avenues leadlng to the Convention. The activity of the young general knew not a mb* montV intermission. Ho wssevory whore during the night,, giving directions, infusing energy, and inspiring courage. Ho was well aworo of the fearful odds against him; for with five thousand troops ho was tO'~enooiin(or .forty thousand men, well armed, well .disciplined, and' under experienced officers.— They could easily bosiogo him, .end starve him’to surrender. Thoy could.from behind barricades, and from house (ups, and chamber windows, soon so thin out his ranks, that resistance would be hopeless. Tho officers of tho National Guards, however, had no con* ception of the firm, indomitable, unflinching spirit which they had to encounter. They did not believe that any one Would dare to firo upon the citizens pf Paris. The Convention wore roused to a lively sonsp of tho serious aspect of affairs, when in tho gloom of night eight hundred muskets were brought in with an abundant supply of cartridges, by order ofNnpo lean, to arm thb members as a corps of reserve. This precaution indicatcd’to thorn tho full extent.of tho danger, snd also the unwavering determination of one who was intrusted with their defence. As the light of the morning dawned upon the city, the Tull, lories presented the aspect of an intrenched camp,— Napolean had placed his guns so aslo sweep 01l tho bridges.and nil the avenues, through which an oppo sing force could approach the capital.- Ills own im periurnblo calmness and firmness aftd confidence, communicated itself to tho troops ho commanded. The few laconic words with which ho addressed them, like electric firo, penetrated their hearts, and secured devotion, oven to death, to his service. Tho alarm bells were now ringing, and tho gone, erale beating in all parts of the city, Tho armed hosts, in dense black masses, wore mustering at their appointed rendezvous, and preparing lo march in solid columns upt>n tho Convention. Tho members, in jheir seats, in eilonco and awaited tho fearful assault, upon whoso issue Uicir lives were suspended. Na poleon; pale and solemn, and perfectly calm, Impcr- Curable and determined, had completed'all his ar rangements, and was wailing, resolved that the ,rc. sponsibility of the first blow should full upon his assailants, and that ho would.take tho responsibility of tho second. ' Soon the enemy wore seen advancing from 1 every direction, in masses which perfectly filled the narrow streets of the city;; With exultant tousle and waving banners, they marched proudly oh lb aU tacklljo besieged band upon every side, and confi dent, from their overpowering numbers, of bn easy victory. They did not believe that the few and feeble troops of tho Convention would daro to resist the people, blit cherished tho delusion that a very few shots, from their own side, would put all opposition to flight. Thus unhesitatingly, they came within the sweep bribe grape shot, with which Napalcon had charged his guns to tho muzzle. But seeing that the troops of tho Convention stood firm, .awaiting thoir approach, tho head of ono of tho advancing columns levelled (heir muskets and discharged a volluy of bullets at their enemies. It was the signal far an instantaneous discharge, direct; sanguinary, merciless, from every battery.' In quick succession explosion followed explosion, ami a perfect storm of grapo shot swept tho thronged streets. Tho pave, moots were covered with tho mangled and the dead. Tjic column* *'they l turned—rthC 1 storm still'raged unabated ; they •flod in utter dismay In thd ■tbhir •till pursued (hem. Then Napoleoo'commnndod lil* lilllo division impetuously to follow (he fugUivcF t and to continue (ho discharge) but with blank cartridges. As the thunder of these heavy guns reverberated along the streets, (ho insurgents dispersed through every available lane and. alley, and in less than an hour the foe was nowhere to bo found. Napoleon sent his division in every section and disarmed the inhabitants, that there could bo no rc>galhoring. lie then ordered the dead to bo buried, and the wounded to.bo convoyed to tho hospitals, and then with his marble brow &s unmoved as if no event of any great importance had occurred, he returned to his head* quarters at (ho Tuillorics. , “ How could you,” said a lady, "thus mercilessly fire upon your own countrymen ?” M A soldier,*’’ho cooly fcplicd,;,‘'is but a machine to obey orders. This is my seal, which I hpvo impressed upon Paris.’’— Subsequently, Napoleon never ceased to regret occurrence; and tried to forgot) and to have others (orgotlhot ha had ever deluged (ho streets'of'Poris with the blood.of Frenchmen. Thus Napoleon established tho new government of France c*»Hod the Directory, from the five Directors, who composed its executive. But a few months passed away before Napoleon, by moral power, with out the shedding of a drop of blood, overthrew the constitution which his unpitying artillery had thus eslablishod. Immediately after the quelling of the sections, Napoleon was received by the Convention. It was declared, by un.onjmoug resolve, that his energy had saved the Republic. His friend Darras became one of (ho Directors, and Napoleon was appointed Commander-in-chief of (ho , Army of the Interior, and intrusted with the military defence and. government of the metropolis. Tbo defeat of llio insurgents was the death blow of.sll the.hopes of the Royalists, and,seemed to establish the Republic ppon a permanent foundation. Napoleon manifested the natural clemency of his disposition very strongly in this hour of triumph. When IhoConventibn would havo executed ftlenou as a traitor, ho pleaded his cause and obtained acquittal., !Io urgod, and suc cessfully, that as the.insurgent* wore now.haimlcss, they should not bo punished, but that a-veil of ob)[. vion should bo thrown over all their deeds. The Convention, influenced not a little by the spirit of Napoleon, now honorably dissolved itself, by passing ah act of general amnesty for all past offences, and surrendering the government to the Directory. The situation of Napoleon was now flattering In the extreme. Ho was but twcnly.fivo years of ago. T|io distinguished services ho hud rendered; the high rank ho had attained, aod the ample inoomo at his disposal, gave him a very elevated 1 position In the public,view. The eminence ho had now attained I was not a sudden and accidental outbreak of cole- I brity. It was the result of long years'of previous 1 toil. . Ho was now reaping the fault of the sood which ! he had sown in his incessant application to study in I the military school; in his continued devotion to lit crary and scientific pursuits, after ho became an of ficer; in his energy and • fearlessness, and untiring assiduity at Toulon; in his days of wintry exposure, and nights of sleeplessness in fortifying the coast of Franco, and his untiring toil among the fastnesses of the Alps. Never was reputation earned and celebrity attained by more Herculean labor. If Napoleon had extraordinary genius, as unquestionably ho had,,this genius stimulated him to extraordinary exertions. Immediately upon tho attainment of 'this high dignity and authority, with the ample pecuniary resources accompanying It, Napoleon hastened to Marseilles, to placo his mpther In a position of per fect comfort. And ho continued to watoh over her 1 with most filial asaldully, prqvipg lilraiclfan affee- , tionato and dutiful son., From this hour the whojo family, mother, brothers, and slaters, wo*e taken under his protection, and all their interests blended with his own. , 1 ' • The post which Napoleon now. occupied was one of vast responsibility, demanding Incessant caro, and moral courage and taot. The Royallsta-and tho Ja cobins were exceedingly exasperated, Tho govern* meal was not consolidated, and had obtained no 1 command over tho public mind. Paris was filled with tumult and disorder. Tho ravogss of the revo lution had thrown hundreds of thousands out of.em ployment, and starvation was stalking thrpugh tho streets of the metropolis, It became necessary fur the government, almost without means or credit, to I fbed the famishing. NupolCon manifested groat skill I and humanity combined with .unflinching firmness in 'tepressinp disorders.

EATING OUT THE CHANGE. A lady used,'.sometimes, to, relate the following odd story, of which Isho was. herself the heroine; and its repolilibn always afforded. us tho benefit of. a hearty laugh. We'Will, give it,aanodros possible, in her own words: : .'.Between thirty and, forty years ago, said she, It was toy lot-to reside on (he banks of llio Hudson, some fifty miles from Now York. As there was no house .of public entertainment within a distance of ten miles, iloflon happened that persons travelling across the country, or on tho river, found themselves undor 'tho necessity' of stopping at my hoUso for something to oat. To" furnish such with meals bo. came Under the circumstances, a duty; and' in order ttf bojustto myself os well as to tho stranger, 1 charged a moderate price for my food and labor.— Very often, it happened, that I would bo called upon lo got breakfast or dinner for half-a-dozen mod and woman, passengers‘becalmed in some vessel on tho river. Generally, my prices wcro 'coasldbrcd .so moderate as to occasion remaik, and; often >sbmo guest or guests would voluntarily, iperbaso thoj'atd of compensation I demanded.'

Ono day, nearly an. hour after tho fStmiiyifad taken dinner, a traveller of the dcscrlpliotolusl ferred 10, made his way lo my door, and .asked.if 1 could furnish him with a meal. I .replied that, J could not cook him a dinner, but, that if .ho’.would take cold meat, broad and butter, and milk, set these before him.

At first, ho approach ed the food with a species of.voraclly; but.gradually cal moro deliberately, until .finally, from very reple tion, his stomach refused an additional mouthful. “What’s lb pay, ma’am,” said ho at length, as ho pushed his chair back from the table, and common, ccd picking his teeth.with a fork. . ~ “ | generally charge’ eighteen ponce for a dinner,*’ I replied, “ but as youf’s is only a cold cut, I supposo ten pence will do.” . ’ : ' Tho man'drew forth a.shilling piece, and as ho landcd'il lo mo, said “ Have you the change;Tnp’arp?”; •' “1 fcnlly don’t think'!-have a,penny in tho house.
