NAPOLEON BONAPARTE. The portrait of Napoleon, as published in the Lady's Book, will be recognized as a spirited and faithful likeness. The history of this wonderful and fortunate man is so familiar, that it would be trespassing unnecessarily upon the patience of our readers were we, in this place, to give more than a mere outline, furnishing a few facts and dates for convenient reference. Napoleon Bonaparte was born at Ajaccio, in the island of Corsica, on the 15th August, 17G9. His family had been of distinction in Italy, but removed to Corsica during the war between the Gulphs and Ghibellines. His father was an advocate of considerable reputation, and his mother, Laetitia Romolini, since so celebrated as Madame Mere, was remarkable for her personal beauty and the strength of her mind. On the morning of Napoleon's birth his mother had attended mass, and on her return was suddenly seized, and the future hero of his age came into the world, on a temporary couch, covered with tapestry representing the heroes of the Iliad. He was h?r second child. Joseph, the ex-king

of Spain, for many years a respected inhabitant

of tins country, was the oldest. Ihere were three younger brothers, Lucine, Louis, and Jerome, and three sisters, Eliza, Caroline, and Pauline. In 177G, Napoleon was admitted into the military school of Brienne, where he was distin

guished for his mathematical attainments; but was unapt in general literature. In 1783, on the

recommendation of his teachers, he was trans

ferred to the Royal Military school at Paris, an extraordinary compliment to the genius of a boy of fourteen. Here he spent nearly three years, devoted to mathematics and history, his chosen authors-being Plutarch and Tacitus. In August, 1785, he obtained his first commission aa Lieut, of Artillery. In the beginning of 1792, he become Captain of Artillery, and witnessed, though he did not partake, the terrible revolutionary scenes of the 20th of June, and the 10th of August. His first military service was in Corsica in 1793, where he reduced a small fortress, in which he was afterwards besieged, and himself and his companions obliged to abandon it, and betake themselves to the sea. On the 18th December, 1793, Napoleon achieved his first memorial exploit in recovering Toulon which had previously been in the hands of the English. From this time Napoleon advance by rapid strides to greatness. He was directed to join the army of Italy, then stationed at Nice, with the rank of chief of battalion. Here he rendered good service; but after the fall of Robespierre, being suspected of having supported the party of that odious monster, he was for some time neglected. On the 4th of October, 1796, as commander of the forces of the National Convention, he achieved the triumph of that body, and laid the foundation of his own future greatness. Within five days after this affair, he was named second in command of the army of the interior, and soon after became commander-in-chief. In 1796, Bonaparte married Josephine, and three days afterwards again joined the army of Italy, at Nice. In less than three months he fought and conquered at Monte-Notte, Millesino, and Mendai, thus opening to himself the gates of Italy. At the bridge of Lodi, soon after, Napoleon distinguished himself no less by his skillful arrangements, than his personal courage. It was here, in consequence of his gallant behaviour, that the soldiery gave him the honorary nickname of the The Little Corporal. On the 14th of May, fourteen days afterwards, Napoleon entered Milan, of which he took military possession. As these were among the earliest of Napoleon's achievments, we have referred to them particularly: his subsequent progress during the remainder of his campaign was no less brilliant and rapid. He overrun all Italy; compelled Venice and the Pope to submit to his victorious arms, and drove Austria into a treaty of peace, by which France was an immense gainer. Returning to Paris, where he was regarded with coldness by the Directory, his active mind planned the celebrated Egyptian expedition, on which he embarked on the 19th of May, 1798, taking with him 40,000 picked soldiers, and some of the ablest generals then in the French service. The events of that expedition need not here be recorded: they are among the darkest and brightest of Napoleon's eventful life, and are full of romantic interest. In little more than a year he rt turned to France, and availing himself of the agitations which his friends had created, overthrew the power of the Directory, and assumed the First Consulate. During Bonaparte's absence, Austria had re-conquered nearly all her Italian possessions, and one of the Chief Consul's first objects, after settling the internal government of France, was to break down the growing power of that nation. At the head of his army he effected the passage of the Alps, crossing the great Mont St. Bernard, the greatest exploit of modern warfare, and pouring down upon the plains, carried victory with him wherever he went. The surrender of Geneva and the triumph at Marengo, with the restoration of all that had been lost in his absence, brought Napoleon back to France covered with fresh glory. On the 15th May 1802, he was proclaimed Consul for life. In 1804 he was endowed with the title and authority of Emperor of the French. The famous battle of Austerlitz in December 1805, established the imperial dignity, and from that time Premiers, Dukes, and Marshals were created, a magnificent court established, and all the ceremonies of royality strictly observed. After four years passed in the construction and completion of the most mighty projects, both civil and military, the celebrated Code de Napoleon public works of all kinds the invasion of Spain new triumphs over Austria Napoleon divorced Josephine and married the Arch-Duchess Maria Louisa, and on the 20th of April, 1811, had issue, the late Due de Richstadt, who soon after his birth was publicly proclaimed King of Rome. From this time forward Napoleon's fortunes seemed to decline. In 1812 he made hi3 disastrous Rusian expedition, from which he returned with a loss of 400,000 men, including forty eight Generals, and 3,000 regimental officers. Reverse followed reverse, until April, 1814, when the allied armies having previously entered Paris, he was compelled by his perilous position, to abdicate the thrones of France and Italy, and consent to a voluntary exile in Elba, retaining the empty title of Emperor, and a scanty establishment. In less than a year, Napoleon taking advantage of fresh discontents, returned to France, resumed the imperial goverment, and after a brief reign of an hundred days, was finally overthrown at Waterloo. His banishment to ' St. Helena, his employments en that desert island, and his death on the 5th of May, 1821, are all familiar. In this brief sketch of the greatest man of modern times, we have purposely avoided all commentary, and only alluded to such events as were necessary to maintain the connection of his history. Sat.
