Depiction: The "Corsican" is exposed to a worse fate than fell to Belshazzar. His conquests are taken from him, the throne of state is overset, the imperial purple is stripped from his shoulders, the diadem and sceptre have fallen. The sovereignties, crowns, and dignities which were his playthings are swept away. His person is seized by the Father of Evil, who is claiming his due . . . . An arm of vengeance, appearing from the clouds, has effectually paralysed the faculties of the conscience-smitten conqueror . . . .
Unsigned.
