JULIOS CAESAR AS DESORIBED BY BONAPARTE. ‘The Emperor's Gescripiion of Cwsar, his habits and is vory graphic, He says * * * ‘To these natural gifts, develop yy @ brilliant education, were joined physical advant His lofty stature, and his finely moulded and well-proportioned limbs, imparted to his aon & grace wRidh distinguished him from ali others, Kis eyes were Gark, his glance penetrating, his com- plexion loriess, and his nose straight somewhat thick. Hismeath was small and regular, and the lips rather full, gave to the lower part of his face an expres- sion of kiniiliness, while his breadth of forehead indi- cated the development of the intellectual faculties. His face was ftli, at least, in his youth ; but fa the busts whieh wore made’ towards the close of his life, hig features are thinner, aud dear the traces of fatigue. His voice was sonorous and vibrating ; his “gesture noble, and an air ‘ef dignity pervaded his person. His constitution, which at first was dell grew robust by sober living, and by his habit of exporing himself to the inclemency of the seasons, Ac- oustomed from his 1th to mamy exercise he wasa ‘bold horseman ; he supported with ease privations ‘end fatigues. Habitually abstemious, his health was not ‘weakened by excess of labor, nor by excess of pleasure. Nevertheless, on two oocasions, once at Cordova and then at Thapsus, he had # nervous ‘attack, which was erroneo- usl thought to be epilepay. “He paid lar attention to hie persom, shaved with eara, oF the hairs pluckett out; he brought forward -ertistically his hair to the front of bis head, and'this, in his more advanced nee, served to conceal bis ens. He was reproach with the affectation éf scratching his head with only one @ager for fear of deranging his hair. His dress was arfanged with oxquisite taste. His gowm was generally bordered with the leetclara, ornamented with fringes to the hands, and was ‘boun round the lois by a sash loosely knotted—a fashion which distinguished’ the elegant and effeminate youth of the period. But Soylla was not deceived by this‘show of frivotity, and he was wont to recommend that perple should have an eye on that young man with the flowing sash. He hada taste for pictures, statues and gents, and he always were on his finger, in memory of his origin, a ring on which was-engraved the figure of an armed Venus. Te sum up, there were found in Cwsar, physically and morally, two natures which are rarely combined in the mame person. He joined aristocratic fustidiousness of per- gon bo the Le od of avidier; the graces ‘of mind to the profundity of thought; the love of luxury ‘and of the arts toa passion for military life inall its veimplicity and rudeness. In a word, joined the ele- of manner which seduces to the energy of charac- ter which eommands. Such was Cresar at the age of 38, when Scylla possessed himself of the Dictatorship. He had already attracted the attention of the Romans by ‘his name, bis wit, his engaging manners, which wero so pleasing tormen, and still more so, per! to women. (Liv. IL, cap. i. CAESAR 48 A POLITICAL LBADER—HIS DIFFICULTY IN FORMING A PARTY. In poriods of tarnsition—agd this is their greatest dan- ger—when iis neesary to Letween a glorius past and on unknown future, bold and enscrupulius men are thote only who thrust themselves forward, Others, more timid and enslaved by prejudices, ‘remain in the shade, and are an obstacle to tne movement by which society is Dorne on to new ways. It is always a great evil for a country which has been a prey to iy mgr that honest men, or good mien, as Cicero called them, do not accept the modern ideas which by moderating they might di- rect. Henceiprofound divisions. On the one hand, dis- reputable people profit by the good or evil passions of the crowd; on the other, aonorable, but passive or intractable men :ppow all , and provoke, by their obstinate resistance, iegitimate impatience and deplorable violence. The opposition of these last mentioned has (he double dis- advantag: of leaving the fie'd clear to thse who are less worthy, and of Kanes, up doubt in the minds of the float- ing mass who judge of parties more by the probity of in- dividuals than by tho value of ideas, What ia those times at Romo is a striking example of the fact. Was it not, indeed, just that should hesitate to prefer to the taction which had at its head illustrious persons Itke Hortengius, Catulus, Marceilus, Lucullus, and Cato the party which counted in its ranks men like Cati- nius, Manlius, Catiline, Vatinius and Clodius? What more legitimate in the eyes of the descendants of the ancient Jamilies than that resistance to all change, and the dispo- tion to consid-r all reform as utopian, and almost sacrili- gious? What more logical than to admire tho firm. hess of soul of Cato, who, still young, braved the threat of death rather than admit the ponsibility of becoming one day the defender of the cause of the allies demanding rights of Roman citizeus? And how should not enter into the feel- ings of @atulus and Hortensius defending with obstinacy the privil of the aristocracy, maai- feating their fears at the onward impulse (o concentvale all authority ina single person?

Terrified innovaton, they confounded in the same pro- on the sedition of a few Tribunes and the just de- of the people. But their influence was so cor able, and the ideas that were hallowed by them held 1 an’ empire over their minds, that they would still have obstructed the triumph of the popular cauee, had not Casar, by puting himelf at is head, givin it new lustre and irresistibie force. A party, like an army, cannot emguer bul und ra Vader wrhy fo eommand it, and all who, since the time of the Graccli, bad raised the flag of reform bad sullied it with blood and degraded it with ro- volt.

He spared no effort to min over Pompey, Crassus, Cloero, Servilius, Capio, Q Fusius Calenus, & Sulp civs, and many others of the same starnp. In mo- ments of transition, when the old system is in extromity and the new one not yet in place, the greatest difficulty does not consist in overcoming obstacles which are op- posed to the installation of a government called for by the wishes of the country, but in solidly establishing 1t; in foanding i on the co-operation of honorabie men penetrated with the-new ideas, and firm te their princi- ples.

We have shown Casar acting only in accerdance with his political convictions, whether as the ardemt promoter of all popular measures or as the avowed n of Pompey. We have shown him aspiring, noble ambition, to power and honors, but we know that histo- rians in general suggest ether motives for his conduct. He is represented as .eving since 684 all his plans _ar- ranged, his snares laid, his instruments ready. They attribute to him absolute knowl dge of tho fufwre, the faculty of directing men asd things at his pleasure, and of making each man an upeovecious accomplice in his coop dosigns.
