NAPOLEON ON TIIK ISLAM) OF ST. HELENA.(From an engraving of Horace Vernets picture.) The Battle of Waterloo 297 d. Gneise7ia7i to Muffling. Senlis, June 29, 1815. If the Duke of Wellington declaresagainst the execution of Bonaparte, hethinks and acts like a Briton. To nomortal man is Great Britain undergreater obligations than to just thisrascal, for through the events that hebrought to pass Englands greatness,prosperity and wealth have been sovastly increased. They are lords ofthe sea and neither in this dominionnor in the commerce of the world havethey any more rivalry to fear. It is quite different with us Pru.ssians.We have been impoverished by him.Our nobilitv can never again recover. And should we not look upon our-selves as instruments of Providencewhich has granted us such a victory inorder that we should exercise eternaljustice? Does not the death of theDuke of Enghien call for such ven-geance. Shall we not subject our-selves to the reproaches of the peoplesof Prussia, Russia
