BONAPARTE
>From the London Morning Chronicle, of December 11, 1815
Bonaparte did not send a single letter to
Europe by the ship arrived from St. Helena, nor would he permit
one of his Companions to write. So that nothing can be known from
themselves of their situation or their sentiments.
Minutes of all Bonaparte's political conversations were carefully
taken. It seems he spoke with great freedom of the characters and
views of all the Potentates, as well as of their Ministers, and
those Minutes, which are considered truly important, are now in
the hands of our Ministers. According to Bonaparte's opinion, the
confederacy of the Allies was on the point of breaking at the eve
of the battle of Waterloo; and if he had gained the ascendancy,
would have been broken asunder in forty-eight hours.
