TK ALL DISEASES INCIDENT TO
Urn ses, Caitle and the Human Flesh,
lvnuii-ing the use of an externa! application.
Thin nt Compound, prepared by a prac
tical Chemist having a full knowledgo of
iul the iii "licnl virtues of each Ingredient
that enters into its composition, is warran
ted to exceed anything of the kind yet of
fered t j the public as an external applica
tion for the diseases for which it is recom
mended. We are satisfied that it will work
its own road into the confidence of all who
use it, and those who try it once will never
be without if. and therefore we rely on ex
perience as the best test of its usefulness.
It is pi-iun uneed by Farriers, nnd all who
have tried it to be the best application ev
er used. This Embrocation has been put
up tor over eight years, and it is only
through I hi- increasing demand and urgent
requ'-hl of my frii-n Is and the Public that
J Ki-nd it forth as the grand remedial agent
for the various diseases to v. bioh that noble
and iisi-l'ul animal, the JlOilSK, is subject.
.Many remedies have be--n offered to the
Public under different forms, some of these
mo injurious, others at best of little use,
and many wholly improper to answer the
purposes for which they arc recommended.
A judicious and really useful composition
free from those objections, has therefore
long bi-cu desired by many gentlemen who
have valuable homes, and arc unwilling to
trust thuin to the care of designing and
preieu'ling turners. J heir wishes are at
length fully gratified, by Dr. P.eale being
prevailed upon to allow this valuable Em

nmrkable man, aud he was habitually
l'ee in communicating lna rciuinis
cences of the great events which it had
deeu his lot to witness. (Jn ono occa
aion the company assembled in his sa
loon beard from bis lips the following
story :
By degrees ns Napoleon assumed the
power and authority of a King, every

of
the consulate, began to wear a court

stored, ana Jionupurte Iiimselt wuS
pnnctti.il in nppearanco at the chapel
ot bt. UlouU on suet occasion".
At one particular time the punctuality
oi jionaparte in ins attendance on mass
was rather distressing to his wife. The
quick and jealous Josephine had dis
covered that the eyes ol her husband
was too much directed to a window in
the gallery, where there regularly ap
peared the form and face of a youni; cirl

stranger's glance wero bent no less
often upon Jionaparte than his were
upon her.
" Who lo that younx girl : " fcaid J ose,

vice t " what can she seek from the
l'irst Consul 7 I observed her drop

it up ; isaw uim."
2o ono could toll Joserduno who the
object of her notice precisely was
though there were Nomo who declared
her to be au emigrant lately loturneJ
and one who was probably desirous of
the intervention of tho First Consul in
favor of her family.
y lth such guesses as tueao. the con
sul's wife was obliged to rest satis6ed
for thctime.
After the audience ot the same day
passed, lionaparte expressed a wish for
a unve in the park, and accordingly
went out, accomjianieu by tits wile, his
brother Joseph, Generals Duroc and
Caiubaccres and Ilortenso Ueauharuois,
Wile ot Jjouis Jionaparte.
'J'ho Iviug of Prussia had just presen.
ted Napoleon with a nuberb set of
norses, lour in nuuiDcr, and tucso were
harnessed to an open chariot for the
i i ...
party. Tho Consul took it into his
head to drive in person, aud mounted
into the coachman's place. The chariot
set off, but just as it was turning into
the park, it went crash against a stouo
ut ttie gate, and tne first vJoosul was
thrown to the ground. Ifo attempted
to rise, but again loll ptostratc iu i

while, tho hor.sc3 sprang forward with
the elm riot, and were only stopped when
Uuroc, at the rik oi his hie., threw
himself out in a swooning state. The
rest of the party quickly returned to
tho First Consul uud carried him back
to his apartments. On recovering his
senses lully, tho first thing which lie
did was to put his hand into his pocket
and pull out the slip of paper dropped
at his feet in the chapel. Leaning over
his shoulder Josephine read these
words : " Do not drive out in your car.

could foresee that I was to play the part

chariot."
l'uroc obeyed. Soon after ho return,

you como to morrow to mass in. the
Chapel, and examine with attention a
young girl whom I shall point out to
jou. She will occupy tho fourth win
dow in tho gallery, ou the right. Follow
her homo, or cause her to be followed
and bring me intelligence of her name,
her abode and her circumstances. It
will be better to do this yourself. I
would not have tho police interfere.
Have you taken care of the bomb, and
removed it."
"I have, Citizen Consul."
" Come, then, let us drive in the
park," said Bonaparte.
The drive was res'iinet'J but on this
occasion tho coachman was allowed to
fulfil his own duties.
On the morrow the eye of more than
one person was turned to the window
in tho gallery. But the jealous Joso.
phiuo sought :.n vaiu for tho elegant
figure of the young girl. She was not
there. The impatient First Consul, with
bis confident, Duroc, wero greatly an
noyed at her non-appearance, and small
was tho attention paid by them to the
services that day, Their anxiety was
fruitless. Sho was seen at mass no
more.
The summers of Napoleon were chief,
ly spent at Malmaison ; the winters at
St. Cloud aud the Tuilleries. Winter
had come on, and the First Cousul had
been holding court at the great apart,

was the 3d of tho mouth, which the
Kcpublicans well called mvoss, and in
the evening Jionaparte entered his car.

by his aid ec-camp Launston, and Gen
erals Lannes and Berthicr. The vehicle
was about to start, when a female,
wrapped in a black mantle, rushed out
upon the Place Carousel, made her way
into tho middle of the guards about to
accompany Napoleon, and held forth
paper crying :
Citizen Consul I read, read I "

Bourrienoe described as so irresistible

wards said was intoxicated, cave the
lash to his horses, and they sprung with
tho speed ot lightning. Napoleon
throwing into his hat the paper he bad
received, remarked to bts companions
" I could not well sec her figure, but
think the poor woman is young.
The carriage dsahed rapidly along : it
was just lsusuing Irom tho street of ETt
Nicholas, when a frightful detonation
was heard mingling with and followed
by a crash of broken windows. Tho in

and its inmu'ei were whirled with un

parte entered his box with sereuo brow
and unrufllcd deportment, lie saluted
as usual, the assembled spectators, to
whom the news of the explosion came
with all the speed which rumor exer
cises on sueli occasions.
All were stunned and stupefied
Bonaparte alone was perfectly calm. He
stood with crossed arm, listening at
tcntivcly to tho oratorio of Haydn,
which was executed on that evening.
suddenly no rem. m ;cred tne paper
put in his hands, lie took it out, anc
read these lines :
" In the name of Heaven, Citizen Con
sul do not go to tho opera
if
you do go, pass not through tho street
St. Nicholas.'' '
The warning came
in some respects.
too late.
On reading these words, tho Fiist
Consul chanced to raise his eyes. Fx1
aetly opposite to him, in a box in the
third tier, sat tho young girl of the
chapel of St. Cloud, and with joiued
hands, seemed to utter prayers ot grati
tude for tho escape which had taken
place. Her bead had no covering but
her flowing aud bcautilul chestnut hair,
umi her person was wrappeu in a dark
mantle, which t!ie Consul recognized as
identical with that woru by tho woman
who had delivered tho paper to him ut
the carriage door. " Go," said Bona-
:.r!e, quietly b it qiickly, to Lannes,
;ro, to the box directly opposite to us
on the third tier, You will find a young
girl in a dark mantle. Bring her to
the Tuilleries: I must sec her : " and
ithout raising his eyes, but to make
Lannes ceitaiu of tho person, ho took
the general's arm, and said pointing
upwaids, " See there look ! "
Jionaparte stopped suddenly. The
girl was gone ; no black mautle- was to
bo veer.. Annoyed ut this beyond mea
sure, b) hurriedly sent off Joannes to
interest her. It was all in vain. The
boxkeeper bud sei u such an individual,
but know nothing about her. Bonaparte
applied to Foueho and Dubois ; but all
the xeal of these functionaries failed in
discovering Lcr.
l ears ran on after the ' explosion of
the infernal machine, and the strange
accompanying circumstances tended to
make the ocourence more remarkable
in the eyes of Bonaparte. To the Con
sulate succeeded tho Empire, and victory
after victory marked the career of the
great Coraican. At length the hours of
cnango cauio. Allied Jburope poured its
troops into Franco, and compelled the
Emperor to lay down the sceptro which
had bo.cn BoJong shaken over half the
civilized earth. Tho isle .of Elba be.
came for a day the most remarkable
spot on the globe ; and. finally, the re-
susciated empire fell to pieces auew on
the held ot Waterloo.
Bonaparte was about to qu't Franco
1 be moment had como for him to set
foot ou tho bark which was to convoy
him to tho English vessel. Friends
who had followed tho fallen chief to the
very last were standing by him to give
him a final adieu. He waved his hand
to those around, nnd a smile was on the
lips which had recently given tbe fare
well kiss to the imperial eaglo. At this
instant a woman broko the band that
stood beforo Napoleon. Sho was iu tho
prime of womanhood ; not a girl, but
yet Jollng enough to retain unimpaired
that beauty for which sho would at any
time have been remarkable among a
crowd of beautfes. Her features wero
full of anxiety and sadness, adding in
terest to her appearance even at that
moment. " Sire ! ', said she presenting
a paper at that moment, " read 1 read ! "
Tho Emperor took the epistlo pre
sented to him, but . kept his eye on the
presenter. lie seemed, it may be, to
feel at that iustant the perfumed breeze
of the park cf St. Cloud, to hear the
choristers chanting melodiously in the
chapel as he had heard them iu other
days. JoEephine, Duroo and all his
friends, o ime fiappily beforo him, and
among them the face which , he was
wont to see at the fourth window in the
gallery. His eye wis now on that coun
tenance in reality, altered, yet the same.
These illusory recollections wero of short
duration. Napoleon shook his head and
held tho paper between his hands and
tore it to pieoes, ecatteriug the frag
ments in the air
" Stop, siro," said the woman, " fol.
low the advice ! Bo warned ! It is yet
time!"
" No," replied he ; and taking from
his finger a beautiful oriental ruby, a
valuable souvenir of his Egyptian cam-,
paigos, held it out to the woman. Sho
took it kneeling, and kissing the hand
which presented it. Turning his head,
the Emperor then stepping into the boat,
which waited to take him to tho vessel.
Not long afterward he was pining on
the rock of St. Helena.
Thus of three warnings, two were
useless because neglected until the
danger had oecured, and tho third
which prognosticated Napoleon's fate if
once in the power of his adversaries
the third was rejected. .
" But," who was this woman, Duke
of Otranto ? "
" Oh," replied Fouche, " I know not
with certainty. The Emperor, it he
knew ultimately, seems to have kept t!.o
secret."
All that is known respecting the mat
ter is, that a female related to St. ltc
genit, one of the authors of the explosion
of the street St. Nioholas, died at the
hospital Hctcl Dieu, in 1837, and that
round her neck was suspended, by
silk ribbon, the exquisite oriental ruby
ol Xsapoloon.
