It was natural that Naeoteore should attenipt to regain the Sceptre he had lost ; tor was it less natural to suepose, that men in their senses, breathing vengeance and professing personal ancour against his very existence, should, aware as (lay were of his su es perior genius and heroism., have (seen good care not to hare placed him within hail of his comrades, wish the means of paying for post-horses to Pat is whenever he was called upon. This beggars the mind to ace count for ; nor can it be rationally accounted for without suspecting that treachery had mixed itself with incapacity, in order to ensure the return, to power of a man, who all pretended should be destroyed as his destructioet could alone ensure the peace of the world ! Such was the more than papisti• cal anathema of Ministers, and such the Wind roil. lidence of the nation at large in the justice of this atrocious anathema, that in order to furnish Govern. meat with the means of accomplishing this s s r-at ob ject, it submitted to the most painful self.deniros ; but instead of procuring for the 'intim, the security which had been promised, Ministers have not, even at the expiration of nearly 12 months, procured us peace. On the contrary, desirable as it is, we sese no pro. spec: of its being consolidated ; and it would really appear from recent occurrences, strange as the aster• lion is, no-withstanding the expensiee parade of re lays of Envoys, Ministers Plenipotentiaries, and Ambassadors ; Clerks, Secretaries, and Messengers at each station, that Lord CAsTLEREAGII only bagged the fox for the luxury of another hunt, in which it is 'possible some of the Crowned Herds may share the fate of the BOURBONSoiiihout exciting the compassion which is every r. here felt for those unfor tunate Princes. The guilt of Ministers is so evident, that it is difficult to account for the silence of those Journals who bellow for war, on any other ground than that they are hired and paid by Ministers to divert the public attention from their delinquency by loudly vociferating the country is in danger! Ths silence of Parliament is no less extraordinary, in not calling upon the Executive Government to satisfactorily explain to the nation the causes which have so suds delay, though not altogether unexpectedly, placed this country and the Continent in a worse situating • than Which she was before the severe winter of 1812, and the selfish defection of the Allies of France, exposed her to the invasion of foreign troops.—Lns ! deed, this silence is in some degree accounted* for by the consummate insolence with Which Lnrd CAS. TLEREAON appears to treat the House of Commons, while theiriame acquiescence with the unprocedested condeet eY this Minister, 'offers a melancholy pre ; sage of what we are to expect from the energies of of men content to .be silent and submissive audi tors to claims and pretensions, which, in the reign of CHARLES TILE FIRST, or of JAMES Tilt{ SEWED, would have consigsted Ministers to a fate very little like that of triumph. Before our Journalists vent i their venom on the Emperor of FRANCE, they should first call for justice en the political offenders in this country, who have again exposed the nation to the danger of another war, which will probably have an issue very different to the one which terminated last April, and which might, if ability and integrity had conducted it, have ensured a long and happy pence to humbled, degraded, and exhausted Eu rope! Lord CAsTLEREAGII will; obsequiously and unjunlgingly cheered with loud and repeated accla. mations in the House of Commons ; from whence, he ought, by the rules of the Constitution, to have been expelled long ago; but . the superior in. fluence of one branch of the State seems to bate absorbed almost all the public virtue of the country, and that branch which has only a concentive power of action, with a House of Commons so com posed, sustained as it is with an army in its rear, may be said to be masters of our lives and fortunes. With respect to the BOURBONS, if it be the intention of Ministers to plunge the country into war for the solitary purpose of reinstating them on the Throne of France, I have no hesitation in asserting, that such a-measure, after the decided expression of the French nation in favour of NAPOLEON, would be a most flagitious and unpardonable outrage, not only to the French nation, but to the present Family on the Throne, who owe their elevation entirely to that public voice which in England dismissed the STUARTS, as France has since dismissed the Boc/R- • zoos. To intermeddle with the choice of the French, now that they have unequivocally decided in favour of NAPOLEON, would be a libel on the Revolu tion iu this country, in 1688—on the Bill of Rights, and on the very loyalty we profess, and condition ally oWe to the Illustrioui of House of Brunswick.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE STATFSMA,N. Gilt.—The illustration of the above notable adage has miter been more conspicuously exemplified than in the Lite astonishing, and to many people horrifying, return of BOY APIRTE to power and command. Our sapient Ministry (poor fellows !) have been abused for a want of due caution ; while, on the con trol.; , they merit our deepest commiseration and pity for having lost the game after exertiog their whole finesse. The facts in this extraordinary business are simply the following :—After BONAPARTE'S return from the dreadful battle of Leipsic, he found his ranks so thinned, and his resources so cramped, that to con tinue the contest was almost impossible; therefore he says to his Marshals, we must finesse; I shall easily jockey those shallow diplomatists by a feigned abdication, choose my own place of residence fur an easy return to power, and in the mean time retain the title which I shall so soon resume with redoubled splendour: be it your care in the interim so to ar range and influence the army, that my re-entrance into France may meet with no opposition, and for the present avow yourselves Royalists. All this was performed to the very letter ; and, on the other hand, those deep-thinking crowned flees, our puissant Allies, having found BONY such a trouble some customer, eagerly jumped at his proposals; matters were instantly arranged, and the weak and ignorant branded BONAPARTE with the epithets of coward and fool ! A little reflection, however, goon convinced the wiseacres, that with all BONY'S moderation he had fixed upon a very suspicious situation for his little empire; they began to suspect the trifling possibility that this arch Emperor might take it into his fancy to add the neighbouring territory of France to his Em pire of Elba—hut what could be done? they saw themselves outwitted, but to break the Treaty . with bins• so soon would be reprobated by all the world. Some plausible pretence must be found out for his further transportation : BONY, aware of their intentions, was obliged to hasten his own scheme, which otherwise was not intended to have been put in execution till the conclusion of the Congress. and final return of all the allied troops. His measures were soon discovered and communicated to Lord CAMEREAGN, who, 'n an extasy of joy, ran to the Congress with open mouth—now, Gen tletnea, we have him; Bowe is plottiog an escape let us wink at it, allow him with his grand army of 500 men only to touch foreign ground, and then we shall seize the scoundrel either to bang him or send him to St. Helena. A general chuckle instantly per vaded the wise and mighty Congress, thanks to Provi arnat-sre-ssrasow totally ißreinewesery is-crardispusta - , a bumper was filled to his speedy debarkation, and council was held upon his (attire destiny. Orders were sent to Colonel CAXPEELL to wink at the pre. parations, and when he saw them nearly finished,t o take a trip for some days to Leghorn, that no inter ruption might be offered to the embarkation. Every thing succeeded to their wish, and BONY, with his little troop, set his foot on the sacred territory. Ist Courier—He has proceeded to Digne without opposition.
