A London paper reports that Bonaparte has grown fat and lusty, unrecognizable from four or five years ago.

Full Text

Bonaparte, says a London paper, is grown so fat and lusty, that those who saw him four or five years ago, would not know him or scarcely believe he is the same person. He never eats meat, as it does not agree with his stomach, but takes often very strong broths of beef, mutton, &c. eats a great deal of vegetables, drinks neither wine nor spirits, but takes coffee, made as strong as possible, five or six times a day. He dresses always very plain; a green coat, with a small star, white waist-coat, pantaloons, and boots; a hat without lace or feathers, with a very small national (round) cockade.
