_Anecdote of Napoleon._--I remember to have heard of a young lady, one of
the _detenus_ in France after the Peace of Amiens, having obtained her
liberation through a very affecting copy of verses of her composition,
which, by some means, came under the notice of Napoleon. The Emperor was so
struck with the strain of this lament, that he forwarded passports, with an
order for the immediate liberation of the fair writer. Can any of your
correspondents verify this anecdote, and supply a copy of the verses?
