The Spanish bull fight or the Corsican matador in danger

Napoleon, the Corsican Matador, has successfully wounded several bulls that represent Prussia, Denmark and Holland. In his attempt to slay the Spanish bull, he has been gored in the backside by the animal in revolt. Although Napoleon has been injured, and Joseph Bonaparte trampled in the ring, the Spanish bull has been stabbed by Napoleon's sword. Monarchs comfortably sitting behind a stage wall in the "Theatre of Europe" watch over the fight and cheer the bull forward.
