Show How He Spoke of Napoleon. In the winter of 1828-9 the old admiral, t5ir Sidney Smith, came to London, and his nephew, Beaumont Smith, invited my father, mother aud myself to meet j him at dinner. We were very much amused with his conversation. He kept ' talking nearly the whole time, and gave ' us a full account of his celebrated re- j istance to Bonaparte at the siege of Acre. We remarked that he nevei named Bonaparte, but always referred to him as "that fellow," "that curiou lUaracter.'' etc. Teinole Bar. |
