We recommend it to the serious perusal of all --RoNAPARTE'S friends and foes : t , The proverb, Qui non cognoreitur ex re, cove:direr ex torus, is truly applicable to BONAPARTE. With very few, if any exceptions, all persons having his confidence, serving his usurpation, transacting as his Ministers, or acting as his military or political tools, re, with Amman, equally notorious for crimes, and .Angerons from their want of all moral and religious lotions."

It is to rises:AT this balante—to place its fotindation once noire upon an imrnotiable basis—to 4 1 re-estt blish anew the political state of Europe," that the Allies are at war.

We we With for instance, in the Austrian Manifesto, that BottAlPArrit 44 refused even to make. - n nominal sacrifice for the repose of Europe." the Bavarian Declaration bargains for a al &Aso to Europe...the Wurtemburgh and Baden Princes coMpliiti lotidly in their Acclamations that the Vicinity of their respective territories to Prance tendieed it ablidutely necessary that they shoOld so tripple that Power, at to preclude all possibility of future violation. These docuniehti ate upon record 4--they are the pledges *hich the Sovereigns have given to their subjects of their sincerity., and they are, in Cacti the terms of enrolment tiposi which their population hate taken arms. We leave out of the question the Declaration; official and demi-official, of the CROWN remit of SWEDEN. His Royal High ness may be regarded as having personal antipathies• to revenge, when he talks of putting BONAPARTE hot: de la loi, and visiting him with the curse of CAM ) the first murderer. He is, however; backed in his zealous wishes for the welfare of Europe by at 4east nine-tenths of its population ! • With all these public records before our eyes.—to say nothing of the subordinate Mutterings of revenge . indulged in by the Cossacks for the conflagration of Moscow—of the vivid recollections of BLUCHER and his countrymen of the wanton massacres in the streets of Lubeck—of the solemn oaths of vengeance which the natives of Germany have secretly sworn—or of the "Iliad of woes" inflicted by BONAPARTE and his Government on the inhabitants of Spain and Portu gal—all these we would regard as nothing at any other period in the history of mankind—but, unhap pily for the Allied Sovereigns, if they make peace with BONAPARTE and his Government, they cannot promise that they will sit securely on their thrones for twenty-four hours afterwards. Was not this the language of the Austrian Manifesto ? 44 The bright fire of independence is bursting out on all sides—it threatens to consume even those legitimate Sovereigns who refuse to add fuel to the flame." Surely all these recollections were fully before the minds of the framers of the Declaration of the Allied Powers. In so far, therefore, - as it breathes a spirit of moderation, we regard it as another of those chefs d'auvre in diplomacy which distinguished the Austrian Diplomatist, Prince METTERNICH) during his nego ciations at Prague, and which, to the honour of his tdents, and the glory of his country, outwitted the chicanery of NARBONNE and CAULAINCOURT. the document in question is most admirably •Ifeb • '-ct all its purposes, we seek no better calculated to en, ' our own party writers afford evidence than that taco . us : duped by the laud able rust rerret of the al lies I • in professing to respect the style and tide of titslir Hero, 6' the Emperor NAPOLEON;. —they go no fur ther than the threshold of the Declaration --they tell us that 66 every man of solid sense and of truly Chris tian principles, will read with satisfaction the Mani festo of the Allied NWETS) put forth at Frankfork on the Ist of this month .

It is the unmited essence of absurdity to eipeet it, chile France has such a turbulent ruler as BONAPARTE, and such a mischievous Government as that which he has framed. The simoom of the desart is not more fatal tb vege• tation than his parching Administration is to the country. The following passage, from a late writer on the genius and disposition of the French Govern. anent, is not more eloquent in point of style, than true in point of fact It was the boast of the Hon ATTILA, that no gram ever grew Where his foot owe trod. It is the passion of the ferocious tyrant of the istetent day, that no generous or independent feeling shall flourish within the glare of this sceptre.

" I was present at the vines* of berg, near Gra veliacs, a few days ago, when the Prefect arrived, with a few gens d'armes, to enforce the conscription laws against some of th*louths of the place, wbo had refused to march to the armies. The appear tnce of the gens d4trmes seemed to serve as a signal to the inhabitants in general to defend their brothers Ind children. With such weapons as they tould pro cure, they fell upon the Prefect and his escort, whom they soon put to flight. The Prefect himself led to in upper apartment in a neighbouring house, but %vas pursued, and, as I heard, thrown from the win low, and killed on the spot. In the mean while, the sub-Prefect of the District baying arrived with a re- nforcement of gees d'armes and rallied the fugitives, nade a regular attack on the conscripu and their titnds ; but when I came away the latter were victo- ] ..;ous, the Sub-Prefect had been driven in disgrace rout the field of battle, and the mob had almost de troyed a house in which he had Wes accustomed is Is .41ce up his residence.* .
