INT T 1( His birth precluded every idea of superiority over his former equals ! and What reliance could be placed on the loyalty of the French towards the new dynasty after the scenes of the French Revolution, during which sovereigns and nobles had been uniformly represented as the enemies of mankind ? Add to this, that although the wild enthusiasm of liberty which had been first excited in France had in a great degree subsided, still that idea would naturally recur, that even the abuses of the old Government were prefer. ble to the minute and degrading despotism to which they were at last subjectCd after all their struggles and all their sacri ficesfor. liberty, ' The innate fears of the tyrant made him even magnify the danger arising from those considerations. and he adopted the only system which could give at least a temporary security to a man in his situation. His cotetnporaries he could not expect to reconcile to hi s usurpation, but he built his hopes on the rising generation, AU France and the countries annexed to it were transformed into a vast camp; the youths of the most respectable fami lies were trained in the strict subordination of military dis cipline; no other systoin of education was allowed even in private families, and unbounded submission to the will of the military leader was inculcated as the first of all virtue:- A new system of terror was established. The sanguinary executions of ROBERSPIERRE had, at last, excited horror and could not again be renewed ; but the dark mysterious midnight murders of BUONAP A RTE acted more forcibly on the imagination than the daily sight of blood, and the dread of the fiend was increased by the uncertainty of the fate of his victims. In the mean time a new spirit of allegiance was preached by venal writers ; the assumed glory of the revolu tionary EMPEROR was blazoned forth in the most glowing co -1 ours, a new zera had arisen for the great nation, and the ab ject submission of the rest of Europe at once proclaimed its high destinies, and the superior genius of its invincible EMPEROR. Thus had BUON AP ART E established his power on the s tano bases on which that of his predecessors had formally sto - oi l ki.P.;TAtrror and Delusion, wit h only a small de viation in the app - licati:n of principles; but the work was still to be completed. By concentrating the revolu tionary power into his hands, he stood solely answerable to the French nation for the promises he had made on his usurpation ; his orders could not be resisted in Euro> with out his authority being questioned at borne. French vanity was to be reconciled to slavery, by beholding the test of man kind iu a still more degraded state of vassalage, and the rising g eneration trained to military habits, deprived of every other source of employment, was to employ in subjugating Europe that i estless activity, which at home might have been dan gerous to the tyrant's power. He has iict(d on the conviction that this system alone could insure his safety, by refusing to accept the ultimatum of'the'Allicd Powers, and, by preferring the chances of war to a comp omise, by which the very basis of his power would have been shaken in France ; for he well knows that the in del•endenc e of Europe, and the existence of a Revolutionary. Government in France, are totally incompatible, whatever may be the character of the Ruler.—But it would require volumes to put this truth in all its light.
