The' courts, halls, corridors, and even ,the anti-chambers were filled with groups of hii ollieera, dignita ries and servants, who loudly diAanted in terms of severity and Contempt on his despe rate struggle to reign; while tho sound pene trated to the most retired part Of Napoleon's apartments, like the voice- of 'reproach, and seemed to increase in v9lume as each passing hnur destroyed his last hopes. lie was obliy ea, from tiros to time, to open the'do - or, and, in a voile by turns imperious or severe, order his chamberlain in waiting to silence these muttered sounds of disaffection:" Been those with whom he was most. intimate, Mad to . wham he confided his-reveries and his tho'ts, immediately reported them' in the conversa tions of the palace, and thereby increased the general fears and discontents. Every one tried to impress upon his neighbor the urgtnt ten- son for flight which he entertained; so that the ingratitude, instead of being might appear general, and already desertion was loudly arid unhlusbingly spoken of. 'ate party urged the uselessness of remaining in a palace now rhqn,ged, into a barrack; and about to become a prison; the others, the necessity of going to Paris, to protect their wives,moth ers, or children, who were becoming alarmed. The latter showed letters from M. do Talley rand or the senators, and the former suddenly recollected that their names belonged in the first instance, to the ancient monarchy; and on its return to the Tuilleries they .could not think of being absent. All of them bad cer tain affairs, interests, family .concerns or duties of situation, which ought to outweigh the usl.-; less determination of sustaining a fallen sol dier; and some of them being compromised as accomplices, thought it necessary to seek pardon by evincing an inclination to 'betray, as a pledge of fresh 'fidelity to the rising power. At the doors of all the apartments, in the cor ridors, on the staircases- and in the yardsprep; orations for departure were making without restraint; the greater part leasing without the .ceremony of a faiewell ; while every nods and I then the noise, of a carriage rolling throtigh the courts of honor gave notice of another deserVon.
