OF

THE following account of the early years of BONAPARTE is from the pen of a Noble Emigrant, who was his school-companion. It was translated by a most respectable Gentleman, to whom the French author is intimately known as a man of unimpeached probity candour and good sense , and there- for the narrative may be considered au. thentic. The work, from which it is ex- tracted appeared in print some time ago, but was called in immediately after publi- cation, for reasons which now no longer exist. It appeared in the Kelso Mail the editor of which says he had it from the translator.
BONAPARTE of a family originally Italian, was born, in the year 1769 at Calvi, a little town of Corsica of parents noble but poor ; his god-father, the celebrated Paoli gave him at the font the name of Napoleone.—
