Santini, Huissier du Cabinet de l’Empereur NAPOLEON, arrived at -Portsmouth from St. Helena on the 25th February 1817. He affirms, -that Napoleon, on his arrival at St. Helena, was treated by Sir -George COCKBURN with respect and delicacy. He was afterwards -transferred to Longwood, once a farm belonging to the East India -Company. In this wretched asylum he still remains. His sleeping -chamber is scarcely large enough to contain a bed and a few chairs. -The roof of this hovel consists of paper, coated with pitch, which is -beginning to rot, and through which the rain-water and dew penetrate. -In addition to all these inconveniences, the house is infested by -rats, who devour every thing that they can reach. All the Emperor’s -linen, even that which was lately sent from England, has been gnawed -and completely destroyed by them. For want of closets, the linen is -necessarily exposed upon the floor. When the Emperor is at dinner, the -rats run about the apartment, and even creep between his feet. The -report of a house having been sent from England is false. The _new_ -Governor has introduced into the house of the Emperor _absolute want_. -The provisions he furnished were always in too small a quantity, and -also very often of bad quality, and in the latter case, when sent -back, were never replaced by others more fit for use. Often being -without butcher’s meat for the Emperor’s table, the steward has sent to -purchase a sheep for _four guineas_, and sometimes could only procure -_pork_ for making soup. Captain Poppleton, of the 53d regiment, has -often lent candles, as well as bread, butter, poultry, and even salt. -M. Santini was, even from necessity, in the habit of repairing secretly -to the English camp to purchase butter, eggs, and bread, of the -soldiers’ wives, otherwise the Emperor would often have been without -breakfast, and even without dinner. The Governor sent seven servants to -Longwood, but the Emperor was obliged to dismiss four of them, _from -inability to supply them with food! The Emperor is limited to a bottle -of wine per day!_ Marshal and Madame Bertrand, General Montholon and -his Lady, General Gourgand, and Count de Las Cassas, have also each -their bottle. Marshal Bertrand has three children; M. de Montholon two; -and M. de Las Cassas one, about fifteen or sixteen years of age; and -for all these mouths the Governor allows no rations. - -In this state of things the Emperor has been compelled to sell all his -plate to procure the first necessaries of life. M. Santini broke it in -pieces before it was sent to the market. The produce was deposited, -by order of the Governor, in the hands of Mr. Balcombe. When the -house-steward, wishing to supply the deficiency of the provisions -furnished by the Governor, makes purchases himself (which happens every -day), he can only pay them by orders upon Mr. Balcombe. When M. Santini -did not succeed in shooting a few pigeons in the neighbourhood of their -dwelling, the Emperor frequently had nothing for breakfast. Provisions -did not reach Longwood until two or three o’clock in the afternoon. - -There is no water fit for cooking at Longwood. Very good water may, -however, be procured at a distance of 1200 yards, which might be -conveyed to the Emperor’s barracks at an expence of from 12 to 1500 -francs. The house is only supplied by the water which is brought from -this fountain; it is open only once during the day, at all other times -it is locked. It is guarded by an English officer, who is scarcely ever -present when water is wanted. There is a conduit for conveying water to -the English camp; but it was thought unnecessary to do as much for the -unfortunate Napoleon. - -The last visit the Governor made to Longwood, and at which M. Santini -was present, he offended the Emperor to such a degree, that he said, -“Have you not then done with insulting me? Leave my presence, and let -me never see you again, unless you have received orders from your -government to assassinate me: you will then find me ready to lay open -my breast to you. My person is in your power. You may shed my blood.” - -Admiral Cockburn marked out a circuit of two leagues for the Emperor’s -promenade; the present Governor abridged it to _half a league_. - -The climate of Longwood, and the humidity to which the Emperor is -exposed, have considerably injured his health. It is the opinion of his -English physician, that he cannot remain there another year without -hazarding his life. - -The Emperor’s plate being sold, he dispensed with the services of the -keeper of the plate; and, for want of a sufficient supply of forage, -he discharged one of his two pike-men. Having no longer any cabinet, -he thought proper to dismiss M. Santini. In the same manner, objects -of the first necessity for his household suffer daily diminution. Col. -Poniatowski has been removed from the Island by order of the Governor. - -M. Santini departed from St. Helena on the 28th of October, on board -the Orontis, sailed to the Cape of Good Hope, and again returned to St. -Helena, but was not suffered to land. The Emperor sent some provisions -on board the vessel; but M. Santini sent back the live-stock, as -the Captain insisted on his killing it immediately. As for wine, he -never tasted it during the voyage, as he would not submit to have the -Emperor’s present, which was strictly his own, distributed in _rations_ -by the Captain. - -On landing at Portsmouth, M. Santini proceeded to London, and published -the following Memorial. - - - - -Memorial. - - -GENERAL, - -I have received the Treaty of the 3d of August 1815, concluded between -his Britannic Majesty, the Emperor of Austria, the Emperor of Russia, -and the King of Prussia, which accompanied your letter of the 23d of -July. - -The Emperor Napoleon protests against the contents of that Treaty. He -is not the prisoner of England. After having placed his abdication in -the hands of the Representatives of the Nation, for the _advantage of -the Constitution adopted by the French People, and in favour of his -Son_, he repaired voluntarily and freely to England, with the view of -living there, as a private individual, under the protection of the -British laws. The violation of every law cannot constitute a right. The -person of the Emperor Napoleon is actually in the power of England; -but he neither has been, nor is, in the power of Austria, Russia, and -Prussia, either in fact or of right, even according to the laws and -customs of England, which never included, in the exchange of prisoners, -Russians, Prussians, Austrians, Spaniards, or Portuguese, though united -to these powers by treaties of alliance, and making war conjointly with -them. - -The Convention of the 2d of August, concluded fifteen days after the -Emperor was in England, cannot have of right any effect. It exhibits -only a spectacle of the coalition of the four greatest Powers of Europe -for the oppression of _a single man_!--a coalition which the opinion of -every nation and all the principles of sound morality equally disavow. - -The Emperors of Austria and Russia, and the King of Prussia, having -neither in fact or in right any claim over the person of the Emperor -Napoleon, could decide nothing respecting him. - -Had the Emperor Napoleon been in the power of the Emperor of Austria, -that Prince would have recollected the relations which religion and -nature have formed _between a father and a son_--relations which are -never violated with impunity. He would have recollected that Napoleon -had _four_ times restored to him his throne; _viz._ at Leoben in -1797--at Luneville in 1804, when his armies were under the walls of -Vienna--at Presburg in 1806--and at Vienna in 1809, when his armies -had possession of the capital and three-fourths of the monarchy! That -Prince would have recollected the protestations he made to Napoleon at -the _bivouac_ in Moravia in 1806--and at the interview in Dresden in -1812. - -Had the person of the Emperor Napoleon been in the power of the -Emperor Alexander, he would have recollected the ties of friendship -contracted at Tilsit, at Erfurth, and during _twelve years of daily -correspondence_. He would have recollected the conduct of the Emperor -Napoleon the day after the battle of Austerlitz, when, though he could -have made him, with the wreck of his army, _prisoner_, contented -himself, with taking his parole, and allowed him to operate his -retreat. He would have recollected the dangers to which the Emperor -Napoleon personally exposed himself in order to extinguish the fire at -Moscow, and to preserve that capital for him; assuredly, that Prince -would never have violated the duties of friendship and gratitude -towards a friend in misfortune. - -Had the person of the Emperor Napoleon been in the power of the King of -Prussia, that Sovereign could not have forgotten that it depended on -the Emperor, after the battle of Friedland, to place another Prince on -the throne of Berlin. He would not have forgotten, in the presence of a -_disarmed_ enemy, the protestations of attachment, and the sentiments -of gratitude, which he testified to him in 1812, at the interview in -Dresden. - -It accordingly appears, from Articles II. and V. of the Treaty of -the 2d of August, that these Princes, being incapable of exercising -any influence over the disposal of the Emperor, who was not in their -power, accede to what may be done thereon by his Britannic Majesty, who -takes upon himself the charge of fulfilling every obligation. These -Princes have reproached the Emperor Napoleon with having preferred the -protection of the English laws to their’s. The false ideas which the -Emperor Napoleon had formed of the liberality of the laws of England, -and of the _influence of the opinion of a great, generous, and free -people over their government_, decided him to prefer the protection of -_these_ laws to that of a _father-in-law_, or an old friend. - -The Emperor Napoleon had it in his power to secure, by a diplomatic -treaty, whatever was personal to himself, by putting himself either -at the head of the army of the Loire, or at the head of the army of -the Gironde, commanded by General Clausel; but wishing, henceforth, -for nothing but retirement, and the protection of the laws of a free -state, either English or American, all stipulations appeared to him -unnecessary. He conceived that the English people were more bound by a -conduct which was, on his part, frank, noble, and full of confidence, -than they would have been by the most solemn treaties. He _has been -deceived_: but this error will for ever cause _true_ Britons to blush; -and will, in the present, as well as the future generations, be a -_proof of the bad faith of the English administration_. - -Austrian and Prussian Commissioners are arrived at St. Helena. If the -object of their mission be the fulfilment of a part of the duties which -the Emperors of Austria and Russia have contracted by the Treaty of -the 2d of August, and to take care that the English Agents, in a small -colony in the midst of the ocean, do not fail in the respect due to a -Prince connected with these Sovereigns by the bonds of _relationship_ -and so many other ties, proofs of the character which belong to these -two Monarchs will be recognized in this proceeding; but you, Sir, have -declared that these Commissioners have neither _the right nor the power -of giving any opinion on what may be passing on this rock_! - -The English Ministers have caused the Emperor Napoleon to be -transported to St. Helena, at the distance of 2000 leagues from Europe! -This Rock, situated within the tropics, and 500 leagues from any -continent, is subject to the devouring heats of these latitudes. It is -covered with clouds and fogs during three-fourths of the year, and is -at once the most arid and the most humid country in the world. Such a -climate is most inimical to the health of the Emperor, and hatred must -have dictated the choice of this residence, as well as the instructions -given by the English Ministry to the officers commanding in the Island. - -They have even been ordered to call the Emperor Napoleon _General_, as -if it were wished to oblige him to consider himself as never having -reigned in France. - -The reason which determined him not to assume an _incognito_ name, -as he might have resolved to do on leaving France, were these: First -Magistrate for life of the Republic under the title of First Consul, -he concluded the preliminaries of London, and the treaty of Amiens, -with the King of Great Britain; and received, as ambassadors, Lord -Cornwallis, Mr. Merry, and Lord Whitworth, who resided in that quality -at his court. He accredited to the King of England Count Otto and -General Andreossi, who resided as ambassadors at the court of Windsor. -When, after an exchange of letters between the Ministers for Foreign -Affairs of the two Monarchies, Lord Lauderdale came to Paris invested -with full powers from the King of England, he treated with the -Plenipotentiaries possessing full powers from the Emperor Napoleon, and -remained for several months at the court of the Thuilleries. When Lord -Castlereagh afterwards signed, at Chatillon, the _ultimatum_, which -the Allied Powers presented to the Plenipotentiaries of the Emperor -Napoleon, he recognised by that the fourth dynasty. This _ultimatum_ -was more advantageous than the treaty of Paris; but, in exacting that -France should renounce Belgium and the left bank of the Rhine, it -exacted what was contrary to the propositions of Frankfort, and the -proclamations of the Allied Powers--what was contrary to the oath, by -which, at his coronation, the Emperor swore to maintain the integrity -of the Empire. The Emperor, besides, thought that these natural limits -were necessary, both for the security of France, and to preserve the -equilibrium of Europe; he thought that the French nation, in the -situation in which it was, ought rather to run the hazard of all the -chances of war than to depart from that policy: France had obtained -this integrity, and would have preserved it with honour, if treason had -not arrayed itself in aid of the allies. - -The Treaty of the 2d of August, and the Act of the British Parliament, -called the Emperor Napoleon, Buonaparte, and gave him only the title -of General. The title of General Buonaparte is doubtless eminently -glorious; the Emperor bore it Lodi, at Castiglione, at Rivoli, at -Arcole, at Leoben, at the Pyramids, at Aboukir: but for seventeen years -he has borne that of First Consul and Emperor, which proves that he -has been both First Magistrate of the Republic, and Sovereign of the -fourth Dynasty. Those who think that nations are flocks which belong, -of divine right, to certain families, do not belong to the age; nor do -they participate in the spirit of the English legislature, which has -several times changed the order of its Dynasty, because great changes -had taken place in public opinion, in which the reigning Princes not -participating, they became enemies to the welfare of the great majority -of the nation: for kings are only hereditary Magistrates, who exist for -the welfare of nations, and not nations for the satisfaction of Kings. - -It is in the same hateful spirit that orders have been given that the -Emperor Napoleon shall not be allowed to write or receive any letters, -unless they are opened and read by the English Ministers and the -officers at St. Helena. They have interdicted to him the possibility -of receiving intelligence from his wife, his mother, his son, or his -brothers; and when, in order to avoid the inconvenience of having his -letters read by subaltern officers, he wished to send letters sealed -to the Prince Regent, he was told that the order could not be departed -from, and that the letters must pass open, such being the instructions -of the Ministry. This conduct needs no observation; it gives rise, -however, to strange ideas as to the spirit of the Administration -which could dictate what would be disavowed even at Algiers. Letters -have arrived at St. Helena, for the Officers in the suite of the -Emperor; they were broke open and transmitted to you, but you have not -communicated them, because they did not come through the channel of -the English Ministry. Thus they had to go back 4000 leagues; and these -Officers had the grief of knowing, that there was intelligence on the -Rock from their wives, their mothers, their children, and that they -could not know the nature of it for six months:--the heart must solace -itself. - -They could not obtain either _The Morning Chronicle_, _The Morning -Post_, or any French Journals. Now and then a few stray numbers of _The -Times_ reached Longwood. In consequence of a request made on board -the Northumberland, some books were sent; but all those relative to -the affairs of late years have been carefully kept back. He wished to -correspond with a bookseller in London, in order to have direct the -books which he wanted, and those relative to the events of the day: -this was prevented. An English author, having made a tour in France, -and having published an account of it in London, he took the trouble to -transmit it to you, in order that it might be presented to the Emperor; -you thought proper not to transmit it because it was not sent to you -by the express desire of your Government. It is said also, that other -books sent by their authors have not been transmitted, because some of -them were inscribed to the Emperor Napoleon, and others to Napoleon the -Great. The English Ministry is not authorized to order any of these -vexations; the law, although unique, by which the British Parliament -regards the Emperor Napoleon as a prisoner of war, has never prohibited -prisoners of war from subscribing to journals or receiving printed -books: such a prohibition only takes place in the dungeons of the -Inquisition. - -The Island of St. Helena is ten leagues in circumference; it is -inaccessible every where; brigs surround the coast; posts are stationed -on the shore within sight of each other, which renders impracticable -any communication with the sea. There is only one small town (James -Town), where there is an anchorage, and where vessels touch. To prevent -an individual from quitting the island, it is sufficient to guard the -shore by land and sea. To lay an interdict on the interior of the -island can therefore have no other object than to deprive him of a -promenade of from eight to ten miles, which it would be possible to -make on horseback, and the privation of which will shorten the life of -the Emperor. The Emperor has been established at Longwood, exposed to -every wind, and where the land is sterile and uninhabitable, without -water, and not susceptible of any cultivation. There is a circuit -marked out of about 1200 toises; at about 11 or 1200 distance a camp is -established on a hill, and another camp in an opposite position at the -same distance; in short, in the midst of the heat of the tropic there -is nothing to be seen but camps. Admiral Malcolm, having learnt the -utility which the Emperor would derive from a tent in that situation, -caused one to be set up by his sailors, at twenty paces distance, in -front of the house; it was the only place in which a shade could be -found. The Emperor had as much reason to be satisfied with the spirit -that animated the officers and soldiers of the brave 53d regiment, as -he had been with the crew of the Northumberland. - -The house at Longwood was built to serve as a barn for the Company’s -farm; the Deputy Governor of the Island had since built some chambers; -it served him for a country-house, but it was not in a proper habitable -state: workmen have been employed at it for a year, and the Emperor -has been continually subjected to the inconvenience and insalubrity -of inhabiting a house in the progress of building. The chamber in -which he sleeps is too small to contain a bed of ordinary dimensions; -but every alteration at Longwood prolongs the inconvenience of having -workmen there. There are, however, in this miserable territory, -beautiful situations, presenting fine trees, gardens, and good houses. -There is, besides, Plantation House; but the positive instructions of -Government forbad you from giving up this house, although much expence -would thereby have been saved to your Government--an expence incurred -in fitting up at Longwood a hut, covered with paper, which is already -unserviceable. - -You have interdicted all correspondence between us and the inhabitants -of the islands--you have in fact placed the house at Longwood _au -secret_--you have even prevented any communication with the officers -of the garrison;--it seems, therefore, to be your study to deprive us -of the little resource which this miserable territory affords, and we -are here just as we should be on the insulated and uninhabited rock of -Ascension. During the four months that you have been at St. Helena, -you have, Sir, rendered the situation of the Emperor much worse. Count -Bertrand has observed to you, that you violate even the laws of your -Legislature, and that you trample under foot the rights of General -Officers, prisoners of war. You have replied, that you act according -to the letter of your instructions, and that your conduct to us is not -worse than is dictated by them. - - I have the honour to be, - Your very humble and very obedient servant, - - (_Signed_) THE GENERAL COUNT DE MONTHOLON. - -After I had signed this letter, I received your’s of the 17th August, -in which you subjoin the account of an annual sum of £20,000 sterling, -which you consider indispensable for the support of the expences of -the establishment at Longwood, after having made all the reductions -which you thought possible. We do not think we have any thing to do -with the discussion of this point; the table of the Emperor is scarcely -provided with strict necessaries, and all the provisions are of the -worst quality. You ask of the Emperor a fund of £12,000 sterling, as -your Government will only allow £8000 for all the expences. I have -already had the honour of informing you that the Emperor had no funds, -that for a year past he had neither written nor received any letter, -and that he is altogether ignorant of what has passed, or is passing, -in Europe. Transported by force to this rock, without being able to -write or to receive any answer, the Emperor is now entirely at the -mercy of English agents. The Emperor has always desired, and is still -desirous, to provide himself for all his expences, of whatever nature, -and he will do it as soon as you render it possible by taking off the -interdiction laid upon the merchants of the Island with regard to his -correspondence, and directing that it should not be subjected to any -inquisition on your part, or by any of your agents. Thenceforth the -wants of the Emperor would be known in Europe, and those persons who -interested themselves in his behalf might send him the funds necessary -to provide for them. - -The letter of Lord Bathurst, which you have communicated to me, gives -birth to strange ideas. Are your Ministers, then, ignorant that the -spectacle of a great man in captivity and adversity is a most sublime -spectacle? Are they ignorant that Napoleon at St. Helena, in the midst -of persecutions of every description, to which he opposes nothing but -serenity, is greater, more sacred, and more venerable, than when seated -upon the first throne in the world, where for so long a time he was the -arbiter of Kings? Those who in such a situation are wanting to Napoleon -are blind to their own character, and that of the nation which they -represent. - - MONTHOLON. - -_To General_ SIR HUDSON LOWE. - - -FINIS. - - -Printed by Macdonald and Son, 46, Cloth Fair, London. - - - - - -End of the Project Gutenberg EBook of Napoleon's Appeal to the British -nation, on his Treatment at Sain, by Napoleon I and Charles-Tristan, comte de, Montholon - -*** END OF THIS PROJECT GUTENBERG EBOOK NAPOLEON'S APPEAL *** - -***** This file should be named 50118-0.txt or 50118-0.zip ***** -This and all associated files of various formats will be found in: - http://www.gutenberg.org/5/0/1/1/50118/ - -Produced by Carlo Traverso and the Online Distributed -Proofreading Team at http://www.pgdp.net, in celebration -of Distributed Proofreaders' 15th Anniversary, using images -generously made available by The Internet Archive - - -Updated editions will replace the previous one--the old editions will -be renamed. - -Creating the works from print editions not protected by U.S. copyright -law means that no one owns a United States copyright in these works, -so the Foundation (and you!) can copy and distribute it in the United -States without permission and without paying copyright -royalties.

He affirms, -that Napoleon, on his arrival at St. Helena, was treated by Sir -George <span class="smcap">Cockburn</span> with respect and delicacy. He was afterwards -transferred to Longwood, once a farm belonging to the East India -Company. In this wretched asylum he still remains. His sleeping -chamber is scarcely large enough to contain a bed and a few chairs. -The roof of this hovel consists of paper, coated with pitch, which is -beginning to rot, and through which the rain-water and dew penetrate. -In addition to all these inconveniences, the house is infested by -rats, who devour every thing that they can reach. All the Emperor’s -linen, even that which was lately sent from England, has been gnawed -and completely destroyed by them. For want of closets, the linen is -necessarily exposed upon the floor. When the Emperor is at dinner, the -rats run about the apartment, and even creep between his feet. The -report of a house having been sent from England is false. The <em>new</em> -Governor has introduced into the house of the Emperor <em>absolute want</em>. -The provisions he furnished were always in too small a quantity, and -also very often of bad quality, and in the latter case, when sent -back, were never replaced by others more fit for use. Often being -without butcher’s meat for the Emperor’s table, the steward has sent to -purchase a sheep for <em>four guineas</em>, and sometimes could only procure -<em>pork</em> for making soup. Captain Poppleton, of the 53d regiment, has -often lent candles, as well as bread, butter, poultry, and even salt. -M. Santini was, even from necessity, in the habit of repairing secretly -to the English camp to purchase butter, eggs, and bread, of the -soldiers’ wives, otherwise the Emperor would often have been without -breakfast, and even without dinner. The Governor sent seven servants to -Longwood, but the Emperor was obliged to dismiss four of them, <em>from -inability to supply them with food! The Emperor is limited to a bottle -of wine per day!</em> Marshal and Madame Bertrand, General Montholon and -his Lady, General Gourgand, and Count de Las Cassas, have also each -their bottle. Marshal Bertrand has three children; M. de Montholon two; -and M. de Las Cassas one, about fifteen or sixteen years of age; and -for all these mouths the Governor allows no rations.</p> - -<p>In this state of things the Emperor has been compelled to sell all his -plate to procure the first necessaries of life. M. Santini broke it in -pieces before it was sent to the market. The produce was deposited, -by order of the Governor, in the hands of Mr. Balcombe. When the -house-steward, wishing to supply the deficiency of the provisions -furnished by the Governor, makes purchases himself (which happens every -day), he can only pay them by orders upon Mr. Balcombe. When M. Santini -did not succeed in shooting a few pigeons in the neighbourhood of their -dwelling, the Emperor frequently had nothing for breakfast. Provisions -did not reach Longwood until two or three o’clock in the afternoon.</p> - -<p>There is no water fit for cooking at Longwood. Very good water may, -however, be procured at a distance of 1200 yards, which might be -conveyed to the Emperor’s barracks at an expence of from 12 to 1500 -francs. The house is only supplied by the water which is brought from -this fountain; it is open only once during the day, at all other times -it is locked. It is guarded by an English officer, who is scarcely ever -present when water is wanted. There is a conduit for conveying water to -the English camp; but it was thought unnecessary to do as much for the -unfortunate Napoleon.</p> - -<p>The last visit the Governor made to Longwood, and at which M. Santini -was present, he offended the Emperor to such a degree, that he said, -“Have you not then done with insulting me? Leave my presence, and let -me never see you again, unless you have received orders from your -government to assassinate me: you will then find me ready to lay open -my breast to you. My person is in your power. You may shed my blood.”</p> - -<p><span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_3" id="Page_3">3</a></span> -Admiral Cockburn marked out a circuit of two leagues for the Emperor’s -promenade; the present Governor abridged it to <em>half a league</em>.</p> - -<p>The climate of Longwood, and the humidity to which the Emperor is -exposed, have considerably injured his health. It is the opinion of his -English physician, that he cannot remain there another year without -hazarding his life.</p> - -<p>The Emperor’s plate being sold, he dispensed with the services of the -keeper of the plate; and, for want of a sufficient supply of forage, -he discharged one of his two pike-men. Having no longer any cabinet, -he thought proper to dismiss M. Santini. In the same manner, objects -of the first necessity for his household suffer daily diminution. Col. -Poniatowski has been removed from the Island by order of the Governor.</p> - -<p>M. Santini departed from St. Helena on the 28th of October, on board -the Orontis, sailed to the Cape of Good Hope, and again returned to St. -Helena, but was not suffered to land. The Emperor sent some provisions -on board the vessel; but M. Santini sent back the live-stock, as -the Captain insisted on his killing it immediately. As for wine, he -never tasted it during the voyage, as he would not submit to have the -Emperor’s present, which was strictly his own, distributed in <em>rations</em> -by the Captain.</p> - -<p>On landing at Portsmouth, M. Santini proceeded to London, and published -the following Memorial.</p> - - - - -<div class="chapter"> -<hr class="divider" /> -</div> - -<h2 class="old-english"><a name="memorial" id="memorial"></a>Memorial.</h2> - -<p class="indent2"><span class="smcap">General</span>,</p> - -<p class="noi"><span class="dropcap">I</span> HAVE received the Treaty of the 3d of August 1815, concluded between -his Britannic Majesty, the Emperor of Austria, the Emperor of Russia, -and the King of Prussia, which accompanied your letter of the 23d of -July.</p> - -<p>The Emperor Napoleon protests against the contents of that Treaty. He -is not the prisoner of England. After having placed his abdication in -the hands of the Representatives of the Nation, for the <em>advantage of -the Constitution adopted by the French People, and in favour of his -Son</em>, he repaired voluntarily and freely to England, with the view of -living there, as a private individual, under the protection of the -British laws. The violation of every law cannot constitute a right. The -person of the Emperor Napoleon is actually in the power of England; -but he neither has been, nor is, in the power of Austria, Russia, and -Prussia, either in fact or of right, even according to the laws and -customs of England, which never included, in the exchange of prisoners, -Russians, Prussians, Austrians, Spaniards, or Portuguese, though united -to these powers by treaties of alliance, and making war conjointly with -them.</p> - -<p>The Convention of the 2d of August, concluded fifteen days after the -Emperor was in England, cannot have of right any effect. It exhibits -only a spectacle of the coalition of the four greatest Powers of Europe -for the oppression of <em>a single man!</em>—a coalition which the opinion of -every nation and all the principles of sound morality equally disavow.</p> - -<p>The Emperors of Austria and Russia, and the King of Prussia, having -neither in fact or in right any claim over the person of the Emperor -Napoleon, could decide nothing respecting him.</p> - -<p>Had the Emperor Napoleon been in the power of the Emperor of Austria, -that Prince would have recollected the relations which religion and -nature have formed <em>between a father and a son</em>—relations which are -never violated with impunity. He would have recollected<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_4" id="Page_4">4</a></span> that Napoleon -had <em>four</em> times restored to him his throne; <i>viz.</i> at Leoben in -1797—at Luneville in 1804, when his armies were under the walls of -Vienna—at Presburg in 1806—and at Vienna in 1809, when his armies -had possession of the capital and three-fourths of the monarchy! That -Prince would have recollected the protestations he made to Napoleon at -the <i>bivouac</i> in Moravia in 1806—and at the interview in Dresden in -1812.</p> - -<p>Had the person of the Emperor Napoleon been in the power of the -Emperor Alexander, he would have recollected the ties of friendship -contracted at Tilsit, at Erfurth, and during <em>twelve years of daily -correspondence</em>. He would have recollected the conduct of the Emperor -Napoleon the day after the battle of Austerlitz, when, though he could -have made him, with the wreck of his army, <em>prisoner</em>, contented -himself, with taking his parole, and allowed him to operate his -retreat. He would have recollected the dangers to which the Emperor -Napoleon personally exposed himself in order to extinguish the fire at -Moscow, and to preserve that capital for him; assuredly, that Prince -would never have violated the duties of friendship and gratitude -towards a friend in misfortune.</p> - -<p>Had the person of the Emperor Napoleon been in the power of the King of -Prussia, that Sovereign could not have forgotten that it depended on -the Emperor, after the battle of Friedland, to place another Prince on -the throne of Berlin. He would not have forgotten, in the presence of a -<em>disarmed</em> enemy, the protestations of attachment, and the sentiments -of gratitude, which he testified to him in 1812, at the interview in -Dresden.</p> - -<p>It accordingly appears, from Articles II. and V. of the Treaty of -the 2d of August, that these Princes, being incapable of exercising -any influence over the disposal of the Emperor, who was not in their -power, accede to what may be done thereon by his Britannic Majesty, who -takes upon himself the charge of fulfilling every obligation. These -Princes have reproached the Emperor Napoleon with having preferred the -protection of the English laws to their’s. The false ideas which the -Emperor Napoleon had formed of the liberality of the laws of England, -and of the <em>influence of the opinion of a great, generous, and free -people over their government</em>, decided him to prefer the protection of -<em>these</em> laws to that of a <em>father-in-law</em>, or an old friend.</p> - -<p>The Emperor Napoleon had it in his power to secure, by a diplomatic -treaty, whatever was personal to himself, by putting himself either -at the head of the army of the Loire, or at the head of the army of -the Gironde, commanded by General Clausel; but wishing, henceforth, -for nothing but retirement, and the protection of the laws of a free -state, either English or American, all stipulations appeared to him -unnecessary. He conceived that the English people were more bound by a -conduct which was, on his part, frank, noble, and full of confidence, -than they would have been by the most solemn treaties. He <em>has been -deceived</em>: but this error will for ever cause <em>true</em> Britons to blush; -and will, in the present, as well as the future generations, be a -<em>proof of the bad faith of the English administration</em>.</p> - -<p>Austrian and Prussian Commissioners are arrived at St. Helena<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_5" id="Page_5">5</a></span>. If the -object of their mission be the fulfilment of a part of the duties which -the Emperors of Austria and Russia have contracted by the Treaty of -the 2d of August, and to take care that the English Agents, in a small -colony in the midst of the ocean, do not fail in the respect due to a -Prince connected with these Sovereigns by the bonds of <em>relationship</em> -and so many other ties, proofs of the character which belong to these -two Monarchs will be recognized in this proceeding; but you, Sir, have -declared that these Commissioners have neither <em>the right nor the power -of giving any opinion on what may be passing on this rock!</em></p> - -<p>The English Ministers have caused the Emperor Napoleon to be -transported to St. Helena, at the distance of 2000 leagues from Europe! -This Rock, situated within the tropics, and 500 leagues from any -continent, is subject to the devouring heats of these latitudes. It is -covered with clouds and fogs during three-fourths of the year, and is -at once the most arid and the most humid country in the world. Such a -climate is most inimical to the health of the Emperor, and hatred must -have dictated the choice of this residence, as well as the instructions -given by the English Ministry to the officers commanding in the Island.</p> - -<p>They have even been ordered to call the Emperor Napoleon <em>General</em>, as -if it were wished to oblige him to consider himself as never having -reigned in France.</p> - -<p>The reason which determined him not to assume an <em>incognito</em> name, -as he might have resolved to do on leaving France, were these: First -Magistrate for life of the Republic under the title of First Consul, -he concluded the preliminaries of London, and the treaty of Amiens, -with the King of Great Britain; and received, as ambassadors, Lord -Cornwallis, Mr. Merry, and Lord Whitworth, who resided in that quality -at his court. He accredited to the King of England Count Otto and -General Andreossi, who resided as ambassadors at the court of Windsor. -When, after an exchange of letters between the Ministers for Foreign -Affairs of the two Monarchies, Lord Lauderdale came to Paris invested -with full powers from the King of England, he treated with the -Plenipotentiaries possessing full powers from the Emperor Napoleon, and -remained for several months at the court of the Thuilleries. When Lord -Castlereagh afterwards signed, at Chatillon, the <em>ultimatum</em>, which -the Allied Powers presented to the Plenipotentiaries of the Emperor -Napoleon, he recognised by that the fourth dynasty. This <em>ultimatum</em> -was more advantageous than the treaty of Paris; but, in exacting that -France should renounce Belgium and the left bank of the Rhine, it -exacted what was contrary to the propositions of Frankfort, and the -proclamations of the Allied Powers—what was contrary to the oath, by -which, at his coronation, the Emperor swore to maintain the integrity -of the Empire. The Emperor, besides, thought that these natural limits -were necessary, both for the security of France, and to preserve the -equilibrium of Europe; he thought that the French nation, in the -situation in which it was, ought rather to run the hazard of all the -chances of war than to depart from that policy: France had obtained -this integrity, and would have preserved it with honour, if treason had -not arrayed itself in aid of the allies.</p> - -<p><span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_6" id="Page_6">6</a></span> -The Treaty of the 2d of August, and the Act of the British Parliament, -called the Emperor Napoleon, Buonaparte, and gave him only the title -of General. The title of General Buonaparte is doubtless eminently -glorious; the Emperor bore it Lodi, at Castiglione, at Rivoli, at -Arcole, at Leoben, at the Pyramids, at Aboukir: but for seventeen years -he has borne that of First Consul and Emperor, which proves that he -has been both First Magistrate of the Republic, and Sovereign of the -fourth Dynasty. Those who think that nations are flocks which belong, -of divine right, to certain families, do not belong to the age; nor do -they participate in the spirit of the English legislature, which has -several times changed the order of its Dynasty, because great changes -had taken place in public opinion, in which the reigning Princes not -participating, they became enemies to the welfare of the great majority -of the nation: for kings are only hereditary Magistrates, who exist for -the welfare of nations, and not nations for the satisfaction of Kings.</p> - -<p>It is in the same hateful spirit that orders have been given that the -Emperor Napoleon shall not be allowed to write or receive any letters, -unless they are opened and read by the English Ministers and the -officers at St. Helena. They have interdicted to him the possibility -of receiving intelligence from his wife, his mother, his son, or his -brothers; and when, in order to avoid the inconvenience of having his -letters read by subaltern officers, he wished to send letters sealed -to the Prince Regent, he was told that the order could not be departed -from, and that the letters must pass open, such being the instructions -of the Ministry. This conduct needs no observation; it gives rise, -however, to strange ideas as to the spirit of the Administration -which could dictate what would be disavowed even at Algiers. Letters -have arrived at St. Helena, for the Officers in the suite of the -Emperor; they were broke open and transmitted to you, but you have not -communicated them, because they did not come through the channel of -the English Ministry. Thus they had to go back 4000 leagues; and these -Officers had the grief of knowing, that there was intelligence on the -Rock from their wives, their mothers, their children, and that they -could not know the nature of it for six months:—the heart must solace -itself.</p> - -<p>They could not obtain either <cite>The Morning Chronicle</cite>, <cite>The Morning -Post</cite>, or any French Journals. Now and then a few stray numbers of <cite>The -Times</cite> reached Longwood. In consequence of a request made on board -the Northumberland, some books were sent; but all those relative to -the affairs of late years have been carefully kept back. He wished to -correspond with a bookseller in London, in order to have direct the -books which he wanted, and those relative to the events of the day: -this was prevented. An English author, having made a tour in France, -and having published an account of it in London, he took the trouble to -transmit it to you, in order that it might be presented to the Emperor; -you thought proper not to transmit it because it was not sent to you -by the express desire of your Government. It is said also, that other -books sent by their authors have not been transmitted, because some of -them were inscribed to the Emperor Napoleon, and others to Napoleon the -Great. The English Ministry is not authorized to order any of these -vexations;<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_7" id="Page_7">7</a></span> the law, although unique, by which the British Parliament -regards the Emperor Napoleon as a prisoner of war, has never prohibited -prisoners of war from subscribing to journals or receiving printed -books: such a prohibition only takes place in the dungeons of the -Inquisition.</p> - -<p>The Island of St. Helena is ten leagues in circumference; it is -inaccessible every where; brigs surround the coast; posts are stationed -on the shore within sight of each other, which renders impracticable -any communication with the sea. There is only one small town (James -Town), where there is an anchorage, and where vessels touch. To prevent -an individual from quitting the island, it is sufficient to guard the -shore by land and sea. To lay an interdict on the interior of the -island can therefore have no other object than to deprive him of a -promenade of from eight to ten miles, which it would be possible to -make on horseback, and the privation of which will shorten the life of -the Emperor. The Emperor has been established at Longwood, exposed to -every wind, and where the land is sterile and uninhabitable, without -water, and not susceptible of any cultivation. There is a circuit -marked out of about 1200 toises; at about 11 or 1200 distance a camp is -established on a hill, and another camp in an opposite position at the -same distance; in short, in the midst of the heat of the tropic there -is nothing to be seen but camps. Admiral Malcolm, having learnt the -utility which the Emperor would derive from a tent in that situation, -caused one to be set up by his sailors, at twenty paces distance, in -front of the house; it was the only place in which a shade could be -found. The Emperor had as much reason to be satisfied with the spirit -that animated the officers and soldiers of the brave 53d regiment, as -he had been with the crew of the Northumberland.</p> - -<p>The house at Longwood was built to serve as a barn for the Company’s -farm; the Deputy Governor of the Island had since built some chambers; -it served him for a country-house, but it was not in a proper habitable -state: workmen have been employed at it for a year, and the Emperor -has been continually subjected to the inconvenience and insalubrity -of inhabiting a house in the progress of building. The chamber in -which he sleeps is too small to contain a bed of ordinary dimensions; -but every alteration at Longwood prolongs the inconvenience of having -workmen there. There are, however, in this miserable territory, -beautiful situations, presenting fine trees, gardens, and good houses. -There is, besides, Plantation House; but the positive instructions of -Government forbad you from giving up this house, although much expence -would thereby have been saved to your Government—an expence incurred -in fitting up at Longwood a hut, covered with paper, which is already -unserviceable.</p> - -<p>You have interdicted all correspondence between us and the inhabitants -of the islands—you have in fact placed the house at Longwood <i>au -secret</i>—you have even prevented any communication with the officers -of the garrison;—it seems, therefore, to be your study to deprive us -of the little resource which this miserable territory affords, and we -are here just as we should be on the insulated and uninhabited rock of -Ascension. During the four months that you have been at<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_8" id="Page_8">8</a></span> St. Helena, -you have, Sir, rendered the situation of the Emperor much worse. Count -Bertrand has observed to you, that you violate even the laws of your -Legislature, and that you trample under foot the rights of General -Officers, prisoners of war. You have replied, that you act according -to the letter of your instructions, and that your conduct to us is not -worse than is dictated by them.</p> - -<p class="indent2">I have the honour to be,</p> - -<p class="right2">Your very humble and very obedient servant,</p> - -<p class="right3"><span class="wordspacing">(<i>Signed</i>) <span class="smcap">The</span></span> GENERAL COUNT DE MONTHOLON. -</p> - -<p>After I had signed this letter, I received your’s of the 17th August, -in which you subjoin the account of an annual sum of £20,000 sterling, -which you consider indispensable for the support of the expences of -the establishment at Longwood, after having made all the reductions -which you thought possible. We do not think we have any thing to do -with the discussion of this point; the table of the Emperor is scarcely -provided with strict necessaries, and all the provisions are of the -worst quality. You ask of the Emperor a fund of £12,000 sterling, as -your Government will only allow £8000 for all the expences. I have -already had the honour of informing you that the Emperor had no funds, -that for a year past he had neither written nor received any letter, -and that he is altogether ignorant of what has passed, or is passing, -in Europe. Transported by force to this rock, without being able to -write or to receive any answer, the Emperor is now entirely at the -mercy of English agents. The Emperor has always desired, and is still -desirous, to provide himself for all his expences, of whatever nature, -and he will do it as soon as you render it possible by taking off the -interdiction laid upon the merchants of the Island with regard to his -correspondence, and directing that it should not be subjected to any -inquisition on your part, or by any of your agents. Thenceforth the -wants of the Emperor would be known in Europe, and those persons who -interested themselves in his behalf might send him the funds necessary -to provide for them.</p> - -<p>The letter of Lord Bathurst, which you have communicated to me, gives -birth to strange ideas. Are your Ministers, then, ignorant that the -spectacle of a great man in captivity and adversity is a most sublime -spectacle? Are they ignorant that Napoleon at St. Helena, in the midst -of persecutions of every description, to which he opposes nothing but -serenity, is greater, more sacred, and more venerable, than when seated -upon the first throne in the world, where for so long a time he was the -arbiter of Kings?
