During the short peace of 1802, at one of the reviews in the Carrousel, he observed an English officer in the Highland uniform. He went up to him and asked him if he belonged to the 42nd regiment ? On the officer replying that he was in a Fencible corps, Napoleon turned from him, taking a pinch of snuff, and added, " Ah ! 352 RECOLLECTIONS OF Monsieur est, sans doute, dans la Garde Na- tionale. " This remark might appear trivial, but Napoleon alluded to the motley crowd of English who then floc...ked to Paris, in various fancy uniforms, many of them passing themselves for officers in the British army. Napoleon never lost a favourable opportunity in making himself acquainted with every particular regarding the discipline and economy of our troops. His first successes were obtained at the siege of Toulon, when serving against our auxiliary forces, commanded by General O'Hara, who fell into his hands by a sad want of military experience and foresight. Admiral Hood had landed a British force to assist the inhabitants of Toulon, who had revolted against the existing Government.
