".. The wnnt of room obliges us to give a brief account of thefe RAs, that we tray hdve n.ore fpace for the devcl'pe .dent of tlie horrid catalirophe which tcr- ruinated, before the age of 32, the life of thi«» unfortunate prince. We tranfenhc literally, the narrative which the baron de Marguerh has given of this dreadful feene, in hit) Biograohe Univerfalle. The prince lived at Ettenheim as a private individual, occupying himfelf \viih the culture of il>wcrs, witli hunt¬ ing, and promoting the happmeis of all thofe who were with him, when the e- tcntsofthc commencement of the year 1804 took place. At this period Bo¬ naparte having been informed by thr Confcfiiousofa man named Gueicile, who knew not how t<> die, and the trcacheiy of Philtippe, a gnicer of T report, wh 1 gave up a correfpondence canied on be¬ tween Mr. Michaud of the French aca demy, the baron de Margnerir, and the princes of the hcufe of Bouibon, that thefe princes, then refugee* in England, fcH formed the plan of le-afluining their authority in Trance, whither they wen- invited back by the general wifh of the nation ; that Piehegru, M< (TV* de Po lignac and other perfom of intrepidity, tverc in the plot ; that England favour¬ ed them with all her might ; he though. it advifahle to fci/.e the perfon of the dnlte d'Enghein, fufpe&ing that he was privy to the whole, and fuppofing that i»i-. papers would j»ive valuable informa¬ tion as tj the objed in view, as well a- the perfons and means to Lc employed to fen her it. Mr. de Caulincourt, a gentleman of JV-avda, wh'if- .fcinitljV V?i bsN $m -•! let vice uf the houfe of Conde, was fent lor this purpofe into the department of the Lower RhinC] with fecret letter-. from the minifler of foreign relations aw] thr miin'llcr of police. But in order to dec*ive the public, as to the real obj.ft of his million, he was oflenflbly 11: veiled by the miniftcrof war, with powers to accelerate the conftwdion of a f)-«ti:laof ba'-, defined for the mad expedition then in contemplation againfl England. M:\ d" CauUncourt wa* accompanied by a fupcrior officer of Bonaparte's guard, nam-d Ordenner ; theyatrived together at Straflnrgli —From this city Mr Cau- Iincourt directed the whole affair, having under hi* orders a man named Rofcv. atid another man pf notoriety by the name of Metier. Whilit he proceeded to 0(f nhourg to an ell there fame emi grants of distinction, Genetal F Iwhcn he wa* informed that a ncife w&< h ard nbou hi^ houfe. He iprings fro'i his bed undreiTed, and ieized his gun , ton* of his fervants leizes another ; they brow open the window ; the duk ;iiea out, Who goes there ? On C'san- .jfwer, they were go'ng to fite ; but Schmidt raifed the prince's gun, and pre cited from tiling it, laying that all re .It :nce was vain. The prince made herein GruOrWin pro- mife, that if they afktd for the duke I'Enghcin, he Would name himfelf as ueh ; which might facilitate his efcape. The prince haftily clothed himfeif in a hunting drefs ; he had not time to put oft hi» boot*. The ftaircafe is afcended, C-------, PfcifdorfF, and fome other gen- and Colonel Ordenner were difpatched to Ettenheim ; an officer of the gendar¬ merie, Chariot and a fergcant of the feme corps named Pfcrfdorff; had been A-nt i» difguITc to Ettenheim, to difcover the o ince'sicfidence, and to know pofi lively "fin! were there at the time ; if hia ufEcerf auddomefticfl were numerous; if they refided with him } were all on their gu.ird ; and if refinance w?re to be ap- prehended from the inhabitants of the place The anival of two grangers cre¬ ated fufpiciom, and an officer of the ar¬ ray of C nde, named Schmidt, was direc¬ ted to fd:w PferfdorfT, and tty .0 difcov- er hi« inrer.tious. Thi< miilim was bad¬ ly executed : Pferfiio ff fmnd means to deceivr him—Schmidt however aiT*rtcd "tlpr \\r had followed him for two h agues b ailed »hat he had eafily penefrated fn to his defi^DA, and that there was nothing to apprehend from thefe two Grangers -To- * much: reliance was unfortunately pla - 'cod on thia report, and the prince deter niiiied eo fpend the night at Etrenheim, having fpenr the day in hunting. How- ever, notwithdanding the favourable in¬ formation given by Schmidt he refolved to abfciit himf-lf on rhe morrow. Thefe things occurred on the 14th of March ; hut dnrinrr the night of the 15th the prince** residence wasfurrounded by three or f Mir hundred men, who were joined V«y fcveial gendarmes. The troops, with the exception <f th** gendarmes, were un- confei* us that a prince of the houfe of Pourbon was to be arretted and when trK f'ldiera v^r-rw-apprif d of it. they ma ci/efted trV darned regret at having co¬ operated in fWh an tAOeditlon The <d^ke d'£r>£hcia had jud rctiied to bed. darmes enter with piltol in hand ; they .,fk—«« which of vou is the duke d'Eng- hetB ?" The baron had lotl all his pn fence of mind ; he remained Blent. The qnellion was aflccd ngniri ; the fame ft lence \ then tlie duke anfwered himftli —" If you come marred liirn, you muit have adefcriptton of hie pcrf -n, look f«i him." The gendarmes thinking they were add re fling one of his fervants, an fwcred—** If we had we (hoilld aflc no qtieiUons ; if you will not point him out come on all of you/' The chevalier Jac¬ ques the prince's fecretuvy and triend, having heard that an armed f rCC had entered the duke's houfe, ran out half drefled, and fent a fcrvailt to ting the a iarm bell. The fteeple was already oe cupied by a oicquet of f ddfen, who be:it the fervant, and prevented him from ful- lilling his miffioni Nothing had heeir negle&ed to itfure thefuccefsof this a trocioUS undertaking. The chevalier Jacques was fick ; he collected all bis Itrength, and offered to accompany the prince. He was at fiift repulfed, but having infifted on it, he wa» permitted to enter : ' Here is one more of then)," faidtluy, as they Opened the door. He remained one year in Bonaparte's dun gcons at Vinceenes and the Temple. I; was under the immediate efeort of th-. gendarmerie, that the prince and fcveral of his officers left Ettenheim. They had not time to drefs thcmklve*, the piinc had only hir. pantaloons and wu'tUoat. When they arrived at a mill yt form didancc from Ktteiuheim, they (tnppe*! and the prince obtained per million to fen . a fervant for money and for clothes. The] b'.irgomaftsrr of Ettenheim was fent \o ud pointed out to the gendarme* which of the prifoncrs was the duke d'Eng field ; they had been ignorant of it until then. He wa* nearly on the .point of cfcapinjj from tliis mill : the outlet had been examined, the bypaths which led fr:**n k (dt^rtamct], and phnkj throwr. acrofsthe rivnh-ts : but juft at the mo ment of effecifng hi*5 efcape, a door which was nfud'y left open was found acciden¬ tally barricaded on the oc.tfide. After the prince had received the clothes he expeGed, they proceeded towards Kop pel, where they croiTed the Rhine. It is perhaps, not uccdlcfs to mention here, that at the paffoge of this river, one of the oilieers of the efeort, wbofenume i^ not known, matiifcfted by confufed Ggm and a line of conducJl noticed by the prince and hi?- officers, that he intended to fave him. He wanted to make thofe gmdarmes who were in his way embark [ | lii ll, and then place in the fecoild boat deflired for the prince, th^fe foldiers on whom he could depend ; but unforefcen e'reumftances prevented the execution of this project.—When they left the boat at RlHnau, they found no carriages there, and were obliged to proceed a league on foot, before they reached the wretched vehicles which tranfportcd them to Strafbtirgh—The prince was hi the firlt of them and with him was his faith j fu] fervant Jofeph Cannonc. The ef¬ eort having no orders did not know where to fceure the piifuners; the prince who preceded the 01 hers alighted at Char—'* houfe. Theft ha took afide the officer and offered to make his fortune, if he J would favor his efcape ; the officer rcfu fed to do fo. Orders foon arrived to conduct the prifonei to the citadel. The commandant of this citadel treated the prince with the utmoft harfhnefs, and guarded him with fuch vigilance, that he placed two centintls in the interior of hiV 'pnrtment .• they were withdrawn by or det of Gen. Leva], who hi h y difappro- ved of this condndl when apprifed of it. The duke d'Enghcin didiibuted fome money among his followers, while he was in the citadel ; his papers, which had been feized at Ettenheim, were there examined. Among thofe papers, the prince's will was found ; he was deli red to fign and feal it, but refufed to do fo, and declared he would not fign the ver¬ bal procefs unlefs the chevalier Jacques was prefent. This incident appeared feriou8,and ft was neceflary to have re¬ ference to the prefeft, who gave bis confent. Two letters which contained fqme jokca on Bonaparte, were alfo found among the papers, the prince wifhed to throw them into the fire The commit fary of Police, Popp, who was prefent at the examination, did not ubjc&tO it ; but Chariot faid roughly to Popp, " do you think thisis the way tu do yourdu- tv 99 On the iSthi.f March, carry in the morning, the doMrs ef thc prifon were • hrown open, th« gen darmes funound the Princes bed ; they compel him to iteU hadily ; he a/k^ permilfion to take his faithful Jofeph with fi£n ; he is told that he will havt no occali -n fjr liirn.— fleaflcs what qo&ntity of linen he mr.y tkewith him ; h^y aifwer one or two changes* From (hat moment rhe Prince loft all-hope, and foiefaw fhe fate which awaited him.
