On the 10th of June Napoleon atrived at Dres-
den ; he alighted in the gardens of Count Marco- '
lini, a retired spot in Frederickstadt^ which had^
been prepared foy him. These gardens, although
not so extensive and beautiful as i'ElysSe Napo-
leon (now rSlysSe Bourbm,) which formfed his
ordinary summer residence, resemble it in some'
respects ; as they are sequestered, and appear'
calculated for pursuits free from care.
In the suburb before-mentioned houses had
been prepared for the greater part of Buonaparte's
retinue. But Berthier took up his quarters at the
palace of BruM ; as for Caulincourt, a cabinet had *
been contrived for him in a wing of the house
occupied by Napoledn himself.
