_May 1, 1814._ _The Tyrant of the Continent is Fallen; Europe is Free; England Rejoices._ Published by R. Ackermann, 101 Strand.--The 'Corsican' is exposed to a worse fate than fell to Belshazzar; his conquests are taken from him, the throne of state is overset, the Imperial purple is stripped from his shoulders, the diadem and sceptre have fallen; the sovereignties, crowns, and dignities which were his playthings are swept away; the once almost master of the world is now in a desperate strait; his person is seized by the Father of Evil, who is claiming his due; the presence of the Foul Fiend has disturbed Napoleon less than the hand of Fate: 'Empire and victory be all forsaken to plagues, poverty, disgrace, and shame. Strip me of all my dignities and crowns. Take oh take your sceptres back. Spare me but life!' An arm of vengeance, appearing from the clouds, has effectually paralysed the faculties of the conscience-smitten conqueror; a flaming sword is hanging over his devoted head, and a voice of terror is proclaiming retribution:-- Thou'rt doom'd to pains at which the damn'd will tremble, And take their own for joys. _May 1, 1814._ _Boney turned Moralist._ Published by R. Ackermann.--1. _What I was--a cruel tyrant._ The Emperor is shown in all his glory of empire and conquest, his back to the Palace of the Tuileries, and dressed in the robes of state, the purple mantle on his shoulders, the diadem on his head, the orb and sceptre in his hands; his feet raised on crowns of vanquished kings, and potentates enslaved to prop his state. 2. _What I am--a snivelling wretch._--The general is seen in solitary abandonment on the island rock which constituted his miniature kingdom of Elba, shedding tears over 'the brief history of my life, which I intend to publish.' This view is, like most of the deductions of satirists, rather beyond the strict veracity of the case. Bonaparte showed himself during his stay in Elba, as it will be remembered, both active and cheerful-minded; and it is recorded that he would discuss with the visitors--who flocked to his miniature kingdom from motives of curiosity--his present condition and his past state with pleasant humour and even jocularity. 3. _What I ought to be--hung for a fool._--The figure of Napoleon, with an ass's ears added, is suspended on a gallows. _May 1, 1814._ _Irish Jaunting Car._--Hull, Esq., del.
