L.SOIV LAW, will vd McKean sibyl: One evening in December, in (he memorable' jear of 1' 72, in a cafe, in the Rue Montholon, seateS a mixed party discussing tlpe events of the present time, and..speculating on those of tho fiitfire. The greater part were, citizens,. while the lesser, from their costumes, appeared ■ to belong to the profession. The laugh', and gibe occasionally broke forth, hut their conversation was more that of seriousness \ than mir.h. Apart from the company, in a corner of the room, stood a young soldier, with his back against the wall and his arms folded upon hiS breast. He appeared to be com pletely bLried in thought, and regardless of I every object around him. His features were i beautifully modelled, inclining almost to femi nine' delicacy, and his hair of a rich glossy brown, fall in flowing ringlets down his back. His stature w(is that.of the middle size, with a person correctly formed altogether presenting, in form gnd feature, a study for' the artist or So silent, was hje that he had been completely fnrgotteh by His associates,, and it was onlyf whilst one of them in tossing off his glass of tin erdibaire, in prefacing it with the toast of t‘ Destruction to, ine Bourbons,” that be quickly raised hie held and casting his flash ingfevestowards the drinker, ejaculated in a short [quick tone —" Monsieur!” that his presence was remembered, and hailed with shouts of welcome. I “ Ah, Li 1 Monsieur Bonaparte; are you still there?” jeried'one of them;; “we thought you had gouts to keep the mice company in the garret.'’| , “ Or tq&he Oileon to take lessons from Talma when ido you appear, lieutenant? we bear that voulare. about to change the sword for the buskin. ’l • | . ’ The ybung man surveyed the speaker with a frown upon bis brow, arid a contemptuous cnrl of the lib. ! - , “ Ko Iffencc,” continued the speaker, seeing that tbelypung sojdier did . not receive his rib aldry injthe best" of tempers', “ But you and Talma he so constantly together, we thought you had some serious designs of becoming a ■fblloweriuf Melpomene.”*' “BatfL you are a child, Captain Benyer,. waste vour words upon fools, they are only fit for sucli society," said Bonaparte. “ilal ha!” shouted Berryer, "the little gentleinkn is angry.” “ An| most complimei anotherjof the party, “i be wasted upon fools, you( ous assemblage around rver." ' A loi|d laugh followed ;Tiis remark, and Bo aapartd rising took his suit at the table. A .deep gtoom was settled on his countenance, and beseemed, in no way disposed to join in the merriment, but politely uncovering, he begged) his companions n it to imagine that his re»ark(alluded at all to tiiem. 11 But, i added he, “lirctract not one word I have japplied to Bcrryel.” - jj i ' In a X anstant Berryer jwas on his feet, and the others followed his example—but Bona parte remained coolly seated, and filling out a glass ,01 wibe, as he look’.d a vole me of scorn at Berriyer, quaffed off tlje liquor and quietly replace*! the glass upon the table. “Yop shall answer this, Lieutenant,” cried BerryeK , , “ Wien, where, and how you please,” firmly and coolly answered Bonaparte. “ Here, at this vely moment, and on this very spot,” and drawing his sword, be stood waiting the assault of his Epemy. “ N<|t here! not herij!” shouted ft doren voicesi " This is "no p! ice to settle such an affair.’; i - - All places,” cried Bonaparte, are proper, “ TGe ichurch shotild afford no safer shelter •than tie field where jot r honor is to he vindi cated.! ■> • . I ” EionghU answercc Berryer. |“ Enough! pray do not prevent' me,” and break pig from them be drew his swbrd. ! A circle was in a moment formed, and the two cqmbatants stood face to face, cool and de termined. A profound (silence reigned in the room.jwhioh was only broken hy the sound of their as the comjjatants each sought for an advantage of assault; ' . ®lt is well known, that (Talma was 'the intimate friend M Bonaparte, on hisfirstcomingto Baris, and so poo A then was the young •soldier,' that he, refused not 'to accept of the kindness of the tragedian in procuring' for hit*, free,admission to the theatre, jThis was not forgot San by Bonaparte when he had 'aacendodlhe lodderlof fortune.

Sword flew, whirling Inio the' nip, and descending, was caught by a female, whq unseen and unhsarq,.gfidcd like .a. spectre jntp, the circle.j , . “ Hold!” she “ Stain" Act' 1 your, name by a .drunken frolic. The future Em peror, of France must war with nobler ene mies.” i ~ , , ■ As she said this she looked like a sibyl in the .moment, of inspiration. She might have been about twenty-five years of age, tall and commanding.in person—browned with the suns, of .foreign climes. Her, eye was dark as the raven’s and of unspeakable brightness—her hair, which.descended in thick black ringlets over her shoulders, was braided in front, and her brow.encircled by a. brilliant scarlet ker chief., ■ Her garment was a loose flowing robe, of green, fastened at the waist by a blue scarf, which descended nearly to the ankle ; and her feet were encased in richly ornamented slippers of red morocco. The party were surprised at her appearance, and it was some moments ere the silence was broken. ,At last Bonaparte said— “ Who'are you and what want you here?” “ I .am the genius of your, fate, Napoleon. In my hand I hold the rudder of your soul—to good or to evil I can direct it. Forbear—seek not to imbrue your handr in the blond of your friend, and. saying this she dropped upon her knee, and placing the sword of Eerryer at his feet, cried—“ Hail, Emperor of France !” A loud laugh burst from all around save Na polebn,, who impressed by her sudden and sin gular appearance as well as by her'words, stood transfixed to the spot, gazing upon Ke*. “Mock me not,” she replied to their de rision. “ I speak the truth—there is not one ■of you but shall yet behold kirn the conqueror of, the world —the Emperor of France! ' Look ! look, behind that star, how, brightly it gleams,” :she continued, pointing to, the window through which, in a‘ dark December sky, one bright and Jmly star was «glo®’ng in unspeakable brilliancy; “it is the star his glory. Lodi, Marengo, Austerlitz—bloody will be‘your fields to the imperial dia dem. BeMR waxes, tt glows in ac cordance to my words, and yet dark clftuds seem to threaten to bedim its glory.'

Intenpinablo' sens— a honren rock iiis home and a ijraveTi'rd^rcytons of his enemy,”, and uttering a loud scream,, from the apartment. Her mysterious speech,'had created a strange feeling In the bosom of every one presebt,' but more especially In that of Bonaparte, who stood like a statue, gazing , a pan the star. At that moment'a loud roll of drums was heard, tind Birras, one of the directors of the p'onvention, entered, and. addressed Bonaparte, told him he was appointed to'the compiling of the Con ventional troops, with full, power to act as he deemed proper for the restoration of peace to Paris. “Hal bn ! ha! said I not rightly f” shouted a female voice aft the window. All eyes were iq an instant turned towards it, where, for’a moment, the face of the sibyl was seen, flushed with joy and waving her hand above her head. “ 'Tis strange,” half aloud muttered Napo leon. . “ What is strange?” inquired Barras, amazed at the apathy evinced by Napoleon on receipt of bis good intelligence." “Nothing, nothing Monsieur,” He. replied; “ a strSnge femiie has been among ns, who pre tending to the art of divination, Has'covered me with glory and shame in the same-breath. Behold!” “ ’ '' ~ ' At this moment a brilliant light arose from without, illuminating the whole apartment; but in place of the sibyl was seen a beautiful female with an imperial diadem .encircling her brow. In her left hand she held another, while with her right she pointed to Bonaparte. “Do my eyes df-eire me!” exclaimed Bar ras. “Is this the effect of a fevered imagina tion—or do others see as I do ?” “It is no deception 1” shouted some dozen voices. “It is indeed there—approach her, Napo leon, ’tis on you that she smiles so graciously." He did so, but the next moment she bad dis appeared, and nought hot darkness supplied the place of brightness. : Loud shouts now arose without,, and the rolling of the drum, the report of fire-arms, told that tumult and bloodshed were again at work in the streets of Paris. “ Lose not a; moment, Bonaparte,” said Bar ras, “we shall talk of this again—may the vision prove time. Take this sword—let it -carve out your path to its fulfilment.” - Bonaparte received the weapon, and bowing assent, departed to assume his appointment, while the others followed, wondering at and speculating upon what they,had witnessed. We shall now change the scene to the battle of Lodi, that memorable event which won far the Corsican high fame and'honor. Luring a greater part of the day be had assisted in the duties of the'common; soldier, with his own. hands charging and dischargings piecoof ord nance, when on the v«iiy eve of victory he was .struck with a musket bnlL-tho blood flowed freelr, sight almost forsook him,, and he was nearly faliing to the earth,, when a voice whis pered in hi* ear— “ Arouse thee—thy wound is heeled. This is thy first passage to to the imperial crown !” He looked, and the sibyl who- two years be fore had confronted hiriiin the cafe, intho rue de MdtMohn, stood there in the midst of death ar.d carnage. ; - •- ■ ■ Hal” cried Bonaparte, “ yon here 1” • “ Why not?” she coolly replied. “I am tby genius.

But reverse of fortune now fell upon his arms, and alone in the old and, princely palace,of Fnntainh(eau, in a solitary chamber, on the eveniug of the 11th of April, ISI4, we now beheld him, dVivcn to the very verge'of despair—at the mercy of those, a cap turcd.conquerer, to whom he had shown none, and with whom he had violated every principle, of honor,- . j lie, is seated at a small table, where before him lie’rations documents, one,Jot which he scans; with a keen and ..anxious eye; —ever and anon .ho. rises and walks.about ths apartment, muttering to himself, and striking his hand upuaHiis brow—hosuddenly p ruses—seizes the pen and isahout to apply' it to the document—' now fie casts it from him, and assumes an air of terrible determination—his hand now falls' unwittingly upon a pistol—he starts—be.grasps it—a, wild light flashes fiom his eye—he raises it—what, shall the hero of “ a hundred fields,"- how tiencath the reverses of'fortune?
