And this is no small praise. His system of government was false in the extreme. It comprehended the slavery of France, and aimed at the subjugation of the world.

In several communes the pelple manifest their joy by the ringing of bells, and by distributing wine, though the Count de Penna Florida, deputy of the province of Madrid, wrote to the deputation, advising it to avoid those noisy demonstrations of joy. . . . NAPOLEON'S WANT OF CANDOUR. It is no less remarkable, that Napoleon, though himself a soldier and a distinguished one, could never allow a tribute of candid praise to the troops and Generals by whom he was successively opposed. In mentioning his victories, he frequenly bestows commendation upon the conduct and valour of the vanquished. This was an ad ditional and more delicate mode of praising himself and his own troops, by whom these enemies were overthrown. But he never' allows any merit to those by whom he was defeated in turn. He professes never to have seen the Prussian troops behave well save at Jena, Of the Russians but at Austerlitz. Those armies of the Ulric nations, which he both SaW and felt in the campaigns of Mit sad' 1813, and before whom he made such disastrous retreats as those of Moscow and Leipstc, were, according to his expressiobs, more canaille.

LIFE OF NAPOLEON BONAPARTE. FURTHER EXTRACTS. Sir Wa Scoria Life of this extraordinary nun consist', of no less than nine volumes. It commences with the year 1783, and concludes with the death of Bo a. We this day resume our extracts, and shall continue them from time to time, until we'shall have laid before our Readers every thing that is intr. resting in the Work. PASSAGE OF THE BRIDGE OF LODI. Thougia the bridge was left standing, it was awept by twenty or thirty Austrian pieces of artillery, whose thunders menaced death to any who should attempt that pass of peril. The French, with great alertness, got as many guns in position on the left bank s and answered this tremendous fire with equal spirit. During this cannonade, Bonaparte threw himself personally amongst the fire, in order to station two guns loaded with grape shot. in such a post. tlou as rendered it impossible for any one to approach for the pur pose of undermining or destroying the bridge; and then calmly proceeded to make arrangements for a desperate attempt. His cavalry was directed to cross, if possible, at a place where the Adds was said to be fordable—a task which they accomplished with dif. Acuity. Meantime Napoleon observed that the Austrian line of in. (entry was thrown considerably behind the batteries of artillery which they supported, in order that they might have the advantage of a bending slope of ground, which afforded them shelter from the French fire. He, therefore, drew up a close column of 3000 grena diers, protected from the artillery of the Austrians by the walls and ' houses of the town, and yet considerably nearer to the enemy's line of , guns on the opposite side of the Adda than were their own infantry, width ought to have protected them. The column of grenadiers,' thus secured, waited in comparative safety, until the appearance of the French cavalry, who had crossed the ford began to disquiet the lank of the Austrians. This was the critical moment wnich Bofiaparte expected. 'A single word of command wheeled the head of the column of grenadiers to the left, and placed it on the perilous bridge. The word was given to advance, and they rushed on with loud shouts of Vim la Republique I But their appearance upon the bridge was the signal for a redoubled shower of grape-shot, while from the window, of the houses of the left side of the river, the sol. dierswho occupied them poured volley otter volley of musketry on the thick column, as it endeavoured to force its way over the long bridge. At one time the French grenadiers, unable to sustain this dreadful storm, appeared for an instant to hesitate . But Berthier, the Chief of lionaparte's Staff, with Massena, L'Ailemagne, and Curvini, hurried to the head of the column, and by their presence and gallantry renewed the resolution of the soldiers, who now pour.. ed across the bridge. The Austrians had but one resource left; to rush on the French with the bayonet, and kill or drive back into the Adda, those who had forced their passage, before they could deploy into line, or receive support from their comrades, who were still filing along the beige. But the opportunity was neglected, either because the troops who should have executed the manteuvre had been, as we have already noticed, withdrawn too far front the river; or because the soldiery, as happens when they repose too much confidence in a strong position, became panic-struck when they saw it unexpectedly carried. Or it may be that Gem Beaulieu, so old and so unfortunate, had somewhat lost that energy and pre sence of mind which the critical moment demanded. Whatever was the cause, the French rustled on the artillery men, front whose are they had lately suffered so tremendously, and, unsupported as' they were, had little difficulty in bayonetth.g them. The Austrian army now completely gave way, and lost in th.ir retre,t, annoyed as it was by the French Cavalry, upwards of twenty guns, a thou sand prisoners, and perhaps two thousand more wounded and slain. Such was the famous pans tge of the Bridge of Lodi, achieved with such skill and gallantry, as gave the victor the sante character for fearless intrepidity and practical talent in actual battle, which the former part of the campaign had gained him as a most able tactician. NAPOLEON'S GOVERNMENT. The faults of Bonaparte, we conclude as we commenced, were rather those of the sovereign and politician, than of the individual. Wisely is it written, that if we sty we have uo siu we deceive our selves, and the truth is not in us. It was the inordinate force of ambition which made him the .couree of Europe; it was his efforts i 3 disguise that selfish principle, that made hint combine fraud with force, and establish a regular system for deceiving those whom he could not subdue. Had his natural disposition been coldly cruel, like that of Octavio', or bad be given way to the warmth of his temper, like other despots, his private history, as well as that or his campaigns, must have been written in letters of blood. If, instead • CONCLUSION OF THE ITALIAN WAR. Negotiations proceeded amid gaiety and pleasure. The various 11Mina,' and Revoys of Austria, of the Pope, of the Kinp of Naples and Sardinia, of the Duke of Puma, of the Swiss Cantons, of several of the Ponces •f Germany—the throng of' Generals, of per eons of authority, of Deputies of towns—with the daily arrival and dispatch of numerous couriers, the bustle of important business, min • gled with fetes and entertainments, with halls and with' hunting par ties, gave the picture of a splendid Court, and the assemblage was cal. led accordingly, by the Italians, the eosin of Montebello. It was I l such in point of importance; foe the deliberations agitated there were to regulate the political relations of Germany, and decide the fate of the-King of Sardinia, of Swiss Thad, of Venice, of Genoa; an destined to hear from the voice of Napoleon the terms on which their national existence was to be prolonged or terminated. Mon tebello was not less the abode of pleasure. The Sovereigns of this diplomatic and niffitary Court male excursions to the Lego Maggiore, to the Lign dl Comd, to the icirromean Islands, and occupied at pleasure the villas which surround those delicious re. glom. Every town, every village, desired to distinguish heel( by some peculiar mark of homage and respect to him whom they then named the Liberator of Italy. These expressions are in a great measure those of Napoleon himself, Who seems to have looked back on this period of his life with warmer recollections of plea sterAbl: enjoyment than he had experienced on any other occasion. It was probably the happiest time of his life. Honour, beyond that of a Crowned • Head, was his own, and had the full relish of novelty to a mind which two or three years before was &lug in obscurity. Power was his, and be had not experienced its cares and risks; high hopes were formed of him by all around, land he had nut yet disappointed them. He was in the lower of youth, and married to the woman of his heart. Above an, he had the glow of Elope, which was marshalling him even to more exalted dominion; and be had not yet become aware that possession brings satiety and that all earthly desires and seristiestermitrate, when fully attained, In vanity and vexation of spirit. • • • • The expedition to Egypt Is the next grand event. -The con duct of Banal, irte in this country is descrlb:d as being in many respects useful and praiseworthy; in others absurd—he is acquitted of the charge of poisoning the sick at Jaffa, though his foul murder of the prisoners there is admitted by himself, and his defence of it completely refuted. The deep stain rests on the name of Soma AAAAA . His return to Europe; his dissolving the Council of Five Hundred (19 and 19 Brumaire, Ikbruarde uc l o a:o); and the formation of the copulate with Sieyes and are familiar events—the battle of Marengo not less so. NAPOLEON IN HIS LAST MOMENTS. Turing the rid of May; it Was seen that the life of Napoleon wm 'drawing evidently to a close and his followers, and particularly his Physidan became &sirens to call In more medical assistance ; that of Dr. Siam, Physician to the Forces, and of Dr. Mitchell, Surgeon of the flag-ship, was referred to. Dr. Shorn, however, thought It proper to assert the dignity belonging to his profession. and refused to give an opinion on a ease of so much importance in itself, and attended with so much obscurity, unless he were per mitted to see and examine the patient. The Officers of Napo leon's household excused themselves, by professing that the Empe ror s strict commands had been laid on them that no English 'Physician, Dr. Alton excepted, should approach his dying bed. They said, thp even when be was speechless they Would be unable to brook his eye, should he turn it upon them in reproof for their disobediewie. About two o'clock of the same day, Priest Viva administered the ucrament of extreme unction. Some days before, Napoleon had tzplained to him the manner in which be desired his body should be laid out in state, in an apartment lighted by torches, o r what Catholics call cane diansfirs ardente. " lam neither," be said, in the same phrase which we have formerly quoted, " a philoso- pher nor a physician. I believe in GOD, and am of the religion of my father. It is not every body who can be an Atheist. I was born t Catholic, and will fulfil all the duties of the Catholic Church, and receive the assistance which it administers." He then turned to Dr. Antommarchi, whom he seemed to have suspected of heterodoxy, which the Doctor, however, disowned, " How can you carry it so far?" he said. " Can you not believe in Goo, whose existence every thing proclaims, and In whom the greatest minds have believed?" As if to mark a closing point of resemblance betwixt Cromwell and Napoleon, a dreadful tempest arose on the 4th of Way, which preceded the day that was to close the immortal existeoce of this extraordinary man. A willow, which had been the exile's favors. rite, and snider which he had often enjoyed the fresh breeze, was torn up by the hurricane, and almost all the trees about Longwood shared the same fate. The sth of May came amid wind and rain. Napoleon's parting spirit was deliriously engaged In a strife more terrible than that of the elements around. The words " tete d'ornge," the last which escaped his lips, intimated that his thoughts were watching the current of a heavy fight. About eleven minutes before six in the evening, Napoleon, after a struggle, which iiiilicat.d the original strength of his constitution, breathed his last.—(7b be continued.) FRENCH PAPERS.

MADRID, JUNE 25. Public attention has been for some days absoilszd by the difference that has just arisen between the Spanish Government and the Court of Rome, on the nomination of B:s'itops for the new States in America. His Calm. tic Majest►, considering this nomination as a breach of the Concordat, and as an infraction of his rights of so vereignty, has caused orders to be given at the frontiers not to receive the new Papal Nuncio, Monsignor Ti beri, who was coming to succeed Cardinal Giustiniani, who left us a month ago. Monsignor Tiberi, on arriving at Irun, on the 17th, found there a letter from the prin cipal Secretary of State, desiring him not to proceed on his journey ; and on the intimations given him by the Captain-General. he has, in tact, returned to France. The Councils of Castile and of the Indies, which were summoned to give their opinions on this delicate affair, and on a letter which his Holiness has written to the King, to explain his conduct, has terminated its deli. beration, the result of which has been transmitted to his Majesty.

The Captain immediately went on shore, and delivered the dispatches of which he was the bearer to M. Duval, our Consal- General. The latter, under the pretext of returning Captain Taurin visit, went on board the schooner, and thus escaped from the bad treatment which he endured. The Dey, who, it is affirmed, did not imagine that M. Duval had found means to transmit h s complaints to his Majesty, was perfectly at his ease, indulging the pleasure of revenge, and left M. buval at libel ty to go on board La Torche ; but when he found that he did not return, and that the schooner had anchored beyond the reach of the batteries, he repented of his confi dence, and foamed with rage; when a few days after wards Captain Collet cage and placed his squadron off the port, so that *nOtlsing ecisktgo otr. M. Duval, who went on board the ComModore's vessel, is said to have left at Algiers his two daughters and his son-in law: it is supposed they have placed themselves under the protection of the agent of some other European Rover. It is added, that the Dey replied with some degree of arrogance to the first communica tion made to him by M. Collet, and that he even ex pressed his regret at not having detained the Consul as a hostage. It is feitunate and honourable for the French marine, that this expedition was prepared with much celerity, and its object so carefully cianeealed, that the Dey could not be informed of the intentions of our Go vernment, and that not a single corsair had left the port, to escape the French squadron.

On the sth of Jane. the King and Q men of Naples, with the whole of their family, went to visit Pompeii. To.e excavation that was made in pre .e .ce of these august personages was one of the most successful ever remembered, on account of the abundance and quality of the objects discovered. The spot choss.n for the operation was a mansion, in which there had previously been discovered a very beautiful fountain .n Mosaic s bordered with shell work, and nearly sisnil-r to another that had been discovered in a contiguous hcu e. From the midst of the basin rose a small column of marble, on which was placed a genius of bronze, holdiag in his left hand a bi,d, with its wings expanded, fiorn the beak of which the water issued, and then fell back into the basin. A theatrical mask, also of marble, imbedded in the bottom of the niche, poured forth in its turn another stream of water. Before one of the feet of the o intain was a little bronze statue, in a sitting . postursk with a basket in the left hand, and a cap on us bead. It apparently represented a Phi ygian Shephes d, clothed in a short tunic, but had evidently ao connection with the spot where it was found. On the marble pedestal Vice was a beautiful piece of sculpture, representing a child, half-naked, lyi ng as l eep , grasp i ng i n one of its hinds a little basket; and on one side of it a vase over turned; its clothes were at a very peculiar make. Before the other foot of the fountain was a kind of marble Caryatides. The partitions were ornamented with very elegant paintings, which appear, to judge from the symbolical accessaries, to represent the birth of Bacchus. •In the Hall was a stove, with its trivet, of rusty iron, surmounted by some fragments of bronze vases. In the two Chambers, situate on the sides of the H 31, was discovered a great number of other interesting objects, the principal of which were two strong bracelets of gold, a small silver coin, a number of elegant bronze vases, and a vety h.autiful candelabrum of the same material. The King gave orders on the spot, that the fountain should to restored to the same state in which it had been found ; that the whole of the shell-work, which had been detached from the border, and had fallen down among the rubbish, should be replaced; that the bronze statues, with which it was ornamented, should be transported to the Royal flourbonMuseum,and that their place should be supplied by casts of baked earth, and that the partitions on which were the paintings, as well as the fountain, e ould be defended by a roof, to save them from the chance of damage.
