MEMOIRES pour servir à L'HISTOIRE de la VIE PRIVÉE, du RETOUR, et du REGNE de NAPOLEON en 1815. Par M. FLEURY DE CHABOULON, Ex Sécrétaire de l'Empereur Napoleon et de son Cabinet, Maître des Requêtes, au Conseil d'Etat, Baron, Officier de la Légion d'Honneur, Chevalier de l'Ordre de la Réunion. 2 tom. 8vo. ii. 4s.

A TRANSLATION of this very interesting Work. 2 Vols. 8vo. 11. 4s. These Memoirs of the "Private Life and Reign of Napoleon in 1815," may be considered as completing the history of the French Revolution. The official situations filled by M. Fleury have put him in possession of materials relating to Napoleon, which have not been accessible to any other writer. The Memoir, respecting the conferences in the Isle of Elba, which induced Napoleon to return to France, has been perused by the Emperor; he admitted that it contained "the truth, and nothing but the truth;" and declared to M. Fleury, that he approved of its publication, though at first he was inclined to retain it for the purpose of insertion in the Memoirs of his Life, which he himself is writing. The knowledge of the facts stated in this Memoir, has hitherto been confined to the parties immediately concerned in the transaction.-In order to disconcert the intrigues of Fouche, (Duke of Otranto,) M. Fleury was employed by Napoleon to meet the secret agent despatched by Prince Metternich to Bâle, at the period when the allied Sovereigns were not unwilling to allow of the abdication of Napoleon I. in favour of the King of Rome. The details given by M. Fleury explain the machinations of Fouche, and his views with respect to the go. vernment of Napoleon.-In his narrative of the battle of Waterloo, M. Fleury has indicated the reasons which led Napoleon to separate himself from his army. All the preceding accounts of the abdication of Napoleon have misrepresented the circumstances which attended it :-And an attempt has been made by M. Fleury to place this event in its true light. He now offers to the world a detailed and accurate history of the conduct parsued by the provisional government, by whose orders Napoleon was detained as a prisoner at Malmaison; although it has been hitherto stated, that he lingered there in the hope of being recalled by the army. And he developes the negotiations between the French government and Lord Wellington, and the other commanders of the allied armies, which ultimately led to the capitulation of Paris; this portion of the narrative being illustrated by many documents which have hitherto remained inedited.
