Depiction: Buonaparte is being driven from France..... The late Imperial Chancellor is the most eager to be rid of his disgraced master.... in one hand he holds the deed of expatriation, "Abdication, or the last dying speech of a murderer - who is to be delivered into the hands of the devil the first fair wind." "Tally" is attacking his ancient confederate "Boney" with his club-foot and his crutch simultaneously: the flying exile with his hat held in hand as a mark of respect to his new master, is responding with humility: "Votre tres humble serviteur, Monsieur Tally." A gibbet, with its noose ready, is pointing to the "Isle of Elba."
Depiction: Seen in the distance is the "Boney" family, there receiving the elevation which they have merited, all the members being collectively exalted on a gallows. The victims of "Boney's" successive campaigns and actions without cessation, invalids whose limbs have been lost in his wars, are rushing up as fast as their maimed condition will permit, flourishing their crutches and unstrapping their wooden legs, as offensive weapons wherewith to avenge their injuries, crying: "Bone him, my tight little Tally" while an invalid with one arm is waiting for the flying general at the place of embarkation: "What! Let him daylights for him!"
Unsigned.
