BUO ti ' , Aim , . himself. cannot, give amore victorious turn to a deleAt, titan his friend and admirer and servant of the Chronicle.' The opinions to, which T desire to call the aPen. tion of the country, were promulgated in one of . those laboured essays which come from the higher penmen attic Party „and may be considered to be matured declarations of their political doctrines. They: are diflinguished from the every-day ;drivel linrbf the Pa tier, not . so lunch by their being one whit more. honest, decent, loyal, or national, or one iota less jacobinical, licentious, corrupt, or devoted ,to BOONM'ARTE but solely, by being a little more dogmatically pronounced, and a little more studiously iniquitous. The article to which I allude, has all the ap peat:twee of a systematic defence of the Govern ment of ByoNArAttTE, an appeal to the feelings of the French pgople in his fitrour, and an intima tion to' them of what horrors they arc to expect from the Allies, if they desert.that virtuous Poten tate. It is, in short, the sequel, illustration,, and condensation of all the points Which the'Tyrant has urged since' his last return to Paris—no doubt a becoming task to he . performed by a philan thrVic an ,l patriotic English newspaper !

Were he removed indeed, were the child and champion of Jacoblnism to be over thrown, what fatal consequences to the world wouhl ensile.? To use your own grand style— . .

By this final consummation, the pulse of liberty.would be quite destroyed, tyrid the mass of our cournou nature would become a lifeless corpse, unable to rouse itself against never-ending wrongs; and the last s?ark of generous enthu siasm would be extinguished in that moral atheism which defaces and mangles .the image of God in nian." Surely this is fine pr;ting, und will look well when translated into the Muni/cur ! What a pity the subject is so unbecoming in British Journal ist. Having exposed its tone and tendency, I leave it to the indignation of my . Country. A nrrun.
