IParrdife Loft, b. 4. med. Ispi- is, taw Whoever ferioully vetoes upon the prefent degrad *l Rate of Europe, will be tempted to predia the fpeedy eztinaion of the German name; for all the fees shies ereaed to maintain the independence of nations have been gradually removed by fraud. treafon i cowar. dice. and violence. The time is come. when nations as well as individuals, are permitted to live only by in dulgence. Upon the Continent, the image of peace Is cherithed to sues, while its fpirit is repreffed : the Corfiean hasmerfecoted freedom into the grave, and adorned its fepulchre. Indeed, it is a matter of doubt whether, in the afloat lage of continental flattery. the Preis be not an evil. For, nearly all the ordinary (onset of information throughout Germany, upon ithbjeas emerged with Corfican ambition, are replete with falfehood and impollure. Virtue is calumniated public (pick fatyrized. and no charafters are fate but thofe whom infamy cannot fink lower. The flattery bellowed by the poets of antiquity on the de(pots tithe world. refembles in every thing but its beauty and elegance. the adala inn of modern fycophants. &tent of empire, the improvement of arts, the diffufion of fplendour. are the topics with which Horace ornamented the polka of Augußus bet the penetration of Tacitus develops., amid& there flattering appearances, the germs of ruin. The florid bloom but ill concealed that fatal malady which preyed upon the vitals of the Roman power. Be tween the periods of national honour and complete degeneracy ► there is uftially an interval of national vanity, during which, examples of virtue are recount ed, and admired without being imitated. The Ro-1 mans were never more proud of their anceftors than when they coifed to referable them. It is the fame With the enflamed French. The Paris Journals of the lag mouth, in recounting the tour of the Corr - lean'. wife to Aiz4a-Chapelle, difgu ft the world with details of ceremonies and buffoonery, which are irrefittibly ridiculous. In the real of the Imperial laves to ez prefs their abatement and vaffalage. the e ourtly forms of the age of Louis XIV. are mimicked fo wretchedly, that the vanity of the woman mull have . given way to her (corn of fuch mifcreants. The Prefer*. we are informed, like the Tempter of old, took her up into a high mountain, and thawed unto " the weft lionle of the out*, % atehen," all the kingdoms of the world i n a moo. cm of time, and with an impudent lie in hi. Mouth, proclaimed, that " the remain. of thirty-liz Emperors of the Romans hail, in the admiral jniephine,' the eleventh Emprefs, who may proarate herfelf be fore the altars in which they are entombed." Whe ther the adored Jofephine believed this fulfome adu lation or not, isle us a matter of indifference. but it might not have been anti& in the flattering varlet to bave apoingifed for the banes of thofe roads, which through the improvident ad mini fi ration of"the mighty ffiltpolcoo," had compelled his Aogult Spare in the sourfe of her journey to defend from her carriage, and wade a confiderable part of ten leagues in the land. left the thould break her Imperial neck The fpeech of the Prefea is, however. worthy of obferyation, as containing the leading features of every difeourfe pro mounted by any agent of the Corfican. Ever fence the year ma, there has not been a finglefishowhof a Frenchman. without thunder. That nation is fond of a wife in the air. Accordingly. the hyperbolical Ocophant, in the courfe of his addrefs of congratu. Wiwi. did not forget to call in the aid of Thunder. and eb give an official hint to Switzerland and Ger- Many. Spain and Portugal. Naples and Turkey, that " doubt le fs whether it dire& its light over the rum. nit of the Pyrenees. glance along the frozen Alps, me mace with its divider the thorn of England, give free dom to the Mediterranean fear." (a new difcovery in Geography, fence the world had hitherto been taught to believe that there was but one Mediterranean tea) "or defcend upon our fertile plains, the French Eask may every where view trophies of glory, and enn•emplate with pride its powerful empire." Much in the fan e fulfome (trains (poke the Prefeds and Pro-confuls of ancient Rome, after all lie virtues of their forefa thers had been extinguifhed among them. But mark the fpeech of my Lud tnc Bilk-•p ! That holy hypo crite exultingly declares that " the univerfal relaxa tion which your Majelly will behold in this city, is a tellimcny of the extreme &fire of its inhabitants to behold their Emprefs, whole fuhlime virtues, both of mind and foul, fame bath rendered public. It afire. frbm the agita:i.:ll which they fed in pjfijfing the atiguß {ponce of a hero, whom they ',germ or the :regret' of Prince, whc h.rve preceded him in the Ancient Throw of the 'noire! What could this reverend fool mean by " the ancient throne of the Empire ?" It is but the other day tinee Aix.la.Chapelle was a free Imperial city of the German Empire, and it was formerly the capital of the Empire and the refidence of the Empe ror, the ceremony of whae coronation was perfumed there until the year 153 t. A part of the Imperial Re galia was preferred in it; cathedral, before the period of tllc French eruption. It is lefs difficult to combat tins !Inf.; than aupidity I hence it is no eafy matter to -Itopi el. e ad the adulation and homage of thisblunder : rot if, by tha term" ancient throne °film Empire," be tinderliood the Carlin& eenplre. then ' the Bi!hop, to a papable falfebood, has joined the higbeft infult, not only to the Princes of the Houle of Auftria, but alfo to all the fovereign members of the Germanic Body. On the other band, if the newly erefted Empire of France be alluded to, the prcpo• fition is equally (Ale and abfurd: falfe, becaufe a fo reigner taken from the dregs of the moll contemptible little Maud in the world, without any other qualifi cations than thole which belong to an atTan, a rob ber, and a cheat, has nfurped the throne which be longs to an ancient and illufirious line of Princes— and abfurd, becaufe that cannot be elleemed ancient which is the creation of yefterday. There is no affi nity whatever between the Ccrfican tyrant and a le gitimate fovereign. He is altogether a felf-ereated fovereign, and has mounted the throne of France by pradifing all the arts of a demagogue, and by wading through leas of blood. Richard 111. was an nfurper, but then be was a royal one, and odious as were the means by which be obtained fupreme authority, 'yet, when he had been feated on the throne, the avia tion between the perfon of the monarch and the office of monarchy, was preferved in the minds even of thofe who bated his name. For although lie was i regicide and a violator of the etabliffied conflitution, the whole nation recogni fed in him, the brother of a king and a defcendant of the royal houfe of York, the le gitimate heirs to the throne. But the Corfican, con- Icions that he has no other title but the (word to ellablifis his ufurpation, and aware of the utter im p:Ability of reconciling his fubjed lives to the idea of royalty in bir perfon, fprung at one bound into an Imperial throne. In this aßumption of an imperial name (for he potleffed the power before) I think that the tyrant and his con Ail have evinced great know. ledge of the habitual reafuning of mankind, as far as the determination extended of crating a new dynall y in France, and no further,, as I fhall hereafter de monftrate. It follows from what has been Paid above, th at when his eccleliallical or civil fatellites congratulate him as the greaten of Princes who have trended him in their cadent throne, they Cap indircaly the founda tion of his authority, by recalling to the minds of the people, the rememstance of their former Princes, and encouraging them to contrail the reign of a blood- Rained ufut per. t•f bate defcent, witk the exploits and virtues of a Charlemagne, a St. Louis, and an Henry IV. of royal lineage. The Military, from whom we Are not accuilomed to cape& much caftsillry, have taken a different condi, and have (hewn that they underftand the point better. In none of their fulfome addreffes, do we find any allufions to an ancient throne. No I they deri►e the empire from hins—he is the author and founder of it—it originated in him, and is to be upheld for him. By the power of the lword he brained the throne, and with it, they engage it thall be maittisined. This is a very fimple logic ; it prnvokes Ito difcuffion ; it creates no diffi culties ; it filences reafnn, and challenges oppofition. The hierarchy and the Prefab, are therefore too for ward in their pious zeal, and utiles they are more guarded in future, they will afford juft caufe for indu cing us to qnellion their loyalty. Inftead of thus forc ing upon the tyrant's view, the ?ladled blaze of an illultrious anceary. I fhould recommend theerather to hail the a ufplcion s prognollics of the future; to give the fancy its full (port, and to carrol on the biding& which they are Cure to derive from the domination of the defasdash of " the greateft of Princes." But, it may be urged, that the elle& of fuch a majeflie peroration would be defeated, becaufe the Corfican has no defcendants, and as he mull be ap proached lowly and reverently. with fludied corn pliments. and oriental &Rion, which bear fome re lation to truth, the adoption of this flight of imagi nation might teem to border on the ridiculous.— That this monfler has no child, the tearful eye of humanity may. perhaps, deplore. If the innocence of infancy had ever fmiled at hit prefence, (a many widowed matrons, and fo many weeping recorders of his cruelty, would arreft his terrible career, and extort from his ferocious foul repeated fighs of an• gun. But furely there is fomething more confenta , neous with our nature, to look towards futurity, than to revert to thole ages which have palled away, elpe daily when it is confidered, that emolument, ho nours, power, and even life itfelf. are at the nod of the augull NAPOLCON. Betides, it is sot quite cer tain, that fuch an infinuation would prove unaccep table to Imperial CSSAR. Before be began to play the Emperor, he has been heard to regret that he was childiefs. Can no means be found to remedy the evil ? Has It not been foggefied in fame of the Coa• Cliental Journals, and who can be ignorant of the intent ct thcfe previous foundings? that poilibly the Imperial Nevotsoe, in mercy to the prayers of his people, may be prevailed on to difpenfe with the fervices of his at i vill jimt.fi," and raife to the Ire-, perial thrones more hopeful And blooming bride? The Pope and the Conclave can be affembled at a MO.. ment's notice t they will not deny a favour to the cherifhed fors of the Church, now enrolled in the ca talogue of its faints. It will not be the WI time that this precious affemblr have difpenfed with the laws of GOD; BONMPARTII. therefore, has only to fignify a with, and they will fign, teal, and deliver the bull of repudiation for the peace of Holy Church, and the good of all the liege Mkt% of France.

That importunate monitor was dilmiffed at a very early period from his ferrite; nor has the given him the leek interruption in the career of his vices. Yet they are not entirely parted. Since the affaftination of Ptcriscao and the Duke d'Estcusta, he refutes all acetic to his perfon.

The death of General HAM I urnx continues to be the fubjeft of general converfation and regret. It was not to New York alone, that there demonllra• tions of regard for his memory were confined. In Button, and in many other tcwns, the Magitlrates and public authorities, teilified their grief for the lola of fo illubioni a citizen, by every Fr lEble tettimony of refpea. Public orations were alfu delivered in honour of his virtues. A few days after the General's funeral. a Coro ner's jury were fummoned to return& verdift refpea ing Lis death. It is mentioned in one of the New York papers, that after a deliberation of feveral days the Jury brought in a verdia of mu►der, againfl Mr. Buss, and the two feconds as acceraries to the duel. None of the parties have hitherto furrendered themfelves. There was, however, a report in New Vent, that Colonel Buss h.sd been kized with a com plaint in the bead. which it was apprehended would prove fatal. The end nature of the complaint had not been afeertaineel, but it was conjeiltured to be a dropfy in the head, a difeafe generally conlldered in curable. Of Mr. Ness, Colonel Busa's fecond, and Mr. PINDLITOII, fecond to the deceafed, nothing was known. Some opinion may be formed of the temper of the Americans with regard to France, from the ruble• quent account of a judicial proceeding at Charlefton. In confcquence of information given to the Officers of the Revenue, Rating that a fchooner had ►een fitted in that port, and was intended to be converted into a French privateer, the was fent after early in July, by the Collator, to where the lay at anchor near Sulliven'e Wand, and brought back to the town. A libel was filed againfl her, and the trhl came on a few days afterwards, when the jury brought in a verdiEt againft the .vetrel and cargo, whir were in confequence condemned as forfeited to the United SUM!. The Captain was pot in con finement, and was to be tried for the offence. Mr. MUNROE, Amballador at the Court of Lon don from the United States, is raid to hare been ap pni..•ed to the Government el the new acquilltions in I,tuiliana. The American Government is endeavouring to p-eferve the relations with the interior of the Cnnti nent. The King of the Ofage Indians, accompanied by his Chiefs and Warriors, with their interpreters and attendants, are on a vifit at INksv York. There is little, of a general nature, in there papers deferving of much notice. There is nothing new from Sr. Domingo, or from any of the French ifiands. The blockade of tie principal ports in Martioiyne is kept vp firialy, but these is no profpea of the iaand being carried without a very confiderable reinfotte ment of troops from Europe. Guadaloupe remains quiet, and we are fntry to find that our trade coral , noes to he confiderably annoyed by privateers from that qua! ter. _ _ _ An American Captain, from Barhadoes, mentions, that a few days before he failed, the Britith Chip Hip pomenes arrived at that Wand. The Hipposnaner, tome time before, fill in with the French privateer brig Bonaparte. The Captain, according to this ac count, which fermi very improbable, immediately re folsed to boat d ihe privateer, and for this purpofe, he, attended by the Firit Lictoen4nt and about eight manned the b.ust and foun fucceeded in their objeA: '1 lie Tierchmen, as loon as they found this (mall party on board, all ran below to their quar ters. Haring, however, afcertamed how few there was of our countrymen, they returned on deck, nustracred all our 10411 party, with the exception of the Captain of the T-lippomenes, who effeaed his ef. cape to his own weird. Our cruisers in the American Seas are very much nn the alert. They have lately intercepted a number of American fhips fufpeflati of carrying Lae enlow s, or having on board contraband goods. A proper weplanadson having however taken place, the flops were permitted to proceed on their voyage.
