Poet waist° be as much out in his geography as in his political views ; and, to be sure, it must make Frenchmen laugh to see an Eng lishman pitying them on account of the fickleness of the climate of their country; but, even this is not quite so absurd as an attempt to persuadea whole, nation of proprietors of land, that it is better for them to have a tenth part of their crop taken from them. than to retain the whole crop. In a parson one might have excused an assertion that it was or good ; but 'an attempt to make them believe that it was better was too much to go down.—There is one view of the subject, I mean of the consequences of the death of Napoleon, that•the friends of our system never seem to take. They al,ways appear to suppose, that, if he were to die, or be killed, there would be a great change, and I think there can. be no doubt of that ; but then, they rush on to a farther conclusion, and take it for granted, that that change would be.in favour. of the restoration of the old Government, in which; I think, thejoare deceit. ed. The first consequence of the death of Napoleon would, in all human probability, be a state bordering ' upon anaachy ; but, the rpublic would revive. The Irepublicans wombd again bear sway ; and, if we had I good memories, we sboeld be very well assured, th Mach was not to begotten by the ehange. If o stomach for fight did not get the better of our recol lection, we should not be exceedingly glad to see s r s cht u i s n . a , The a d p P e i ep c h l e e g o r u f s p , ,,u a r n o d pe B es w r o n u n scribk; and their sovereigns would, in my opinion, c ra h g a ja n l g n e with feelings that I need not de. s c n ee o e m w s e u ra e fo c h r e t e h o have more ground for apprehension than they now have. Therefore, it appears to me poesilde, to say the least of it, that the death of Napoleon is what no I high-flying royalist ought to wish for; or, at least, that, if he should hear of that death,'he ought to m°- , derate his joy. I have, however, I most confess, 1 another principle according to which . 1 judge of the good or evil of Napoleon's death. ! hireling news-writers expressing hear of his death:l perceive thug. his death is j • thelir see a,s t he wished for by all those whom I know t o be I the country's worst enemleal 'by; , all those who hate every thing like- fieedoro in the. country, by all 'the sons and all the daughters of corruption.
