But example ! The end of all punishment. We may well caltulate 011 NAPOLEON, as stand ing single in the elevation of crime :—so single, that no with will be found to emulate his fame or his offence ; that no man wilt desire to rise so at the price of falling so low. While Seclu sion can restrain., Seclusion is a - sufficient putiish went : severer, perhaps, than more ostentatious penaities, if inaction and reflection occupy its melancholy void. His circle, however, must be narrow :—cOin prehending neither paroles nor privileges, neither tlig»ities nor endowments. It is of consequence to pale him within his pristine obscurity, since all eves would be tnined on another Elba. But - example !—Yes, France must be an Cx ample, .not only to herself but to the world.— The coalesced Monarchs, now seated in her ca pital, must spew her forth-us the fatal instance how Revolution cods its crimes arid its follies. They have tried upon her the experiment magnanimity.. Flow it succeeded, ask the thou,- sand lives we -are bewailing !—France has al-, ways her Vival prepared.. She Can hurra it-Bour bon to the scaffold and to the throne with the same ductile devotion : her dance is as 'ready as her dagger ; but her dagger is as 'ready as her dance. Vapid, vain, and versatile, her affec tations of Freedom are ludicrous, her profeSsions of loyalty are hollow : incapable of sincerity, site can respect no confidence; to be trusted, she must be chained : before she can lose the will of revolt, she Must s be deprived of the power. Yet France should receive as much of our for giveness as is consistent with our, safety.--We may not burn Paris, because :Moscow has been consumed and Madrid destroyed : ‘ve may not make France zt desart, because ~he devastated Eu rope; we may not lead her people into captivity, because she subverted the liberty of the world. We may not do - all this, because all this has been done by France. So much .only is to be done, as shall prevent Fiance from doing the same again. Retribution must be the - result of , the judgn►ent, - not of the feeling ; it must be exercised for ex ample, not for punishment :—it must be mea sured rather by the dangers of - Europe than by the crimes of France ; it must he apportioned in Wisdo►n, nut lavished in vengeance. _ The first object is, to place France in her pre revolutionat y condition. The several states which she plundered must reclaim their property; her triumphal columns and arches must be de stroyed ; the boastful names by which she comme morated her Victories must be effaced ; and the foreig►i titles which she gave to her successful leaders must be relinquished. But when this primary justice shall be accom-: plisbed, France will have received no warning, as she wilt hare incurred no privatiOn. She•.nust pay the expences of the campaign, and surrender something of her original possessions. After hav ink; forced us to the contest, she must meet the consequences of the hazard ; after compelling us to stake our all, she must not withdraw her own stake at pleasure. War is a game: It presents its chances of success and of failure. But who would not be a gambler, with the expectation of winning something, ,and the privilege of losing nothing ? . • ' To prevent an encouragement so mischievous., France must submit yet farther. She must give up her northern fortresses ; she must dismantle her frontiers ; she must disorganize her soldiery; she must maintain within her territory a sufficient number of the Allied troops ; she must put clown the whole tribe of her Jacobins and Buoirapar tists ; she must div6t them of their plunder, and dismiss them from her councils. And, when all this' is done, who will say that France has suffered the thousandth part of the shames, the privations, and the miseries, which she has inflicted upon Europe ? It is not requisite that she should suffer them. We desire to punish her, not in retaliation or re venge, but in justice and. necessity. So far only as her sufferings will disable and deter her from future aggressions, should she be punished for past injuries., But, as the penalty is moderate, its infliction should be certain. The blood Which bas been shed must not ' flow in vain :—it must not be idly poured out on the altar of magnani mity. AINIERICANS_ AND ALG BRINES.

" CARTHAGENA, JUNE 20.—Last night part of an American squadron hove in sight, and after wards an American galliot brought into this port a captured frigate called the Atiranda, of 44 guns. The action happened on the 16th, off Cape Gates, between an American frigate and the Algerine fri gate, and lasted one hour. The American had 64 killed, and the Algerine abovel 00, among whom is the Admiral himself. The captured ship had a crew of 500 men, and is in a very good state, ex cept the sails and rigging, which are 'nearly shot away. The ship itself has suffered very little. P. S.

HAY:kArt:FT.—We last night witnessed„a . seond Of wanton barbarity at this 'l I k e Of 'which there has been no precedent Within our re(olleetion. Mr. Muc qorr, who, we-understand, had acquired corisidera We repute on the Edinburgh, and Other provincial Stages, appeared - last night at this Theatre in the character of Iliehard the Third..— Ile was received on his entrance with the usual' liberality of a British audience.; hut after lie had uttered avery few Words, he was assailed by ;•i small part of the audience with laughter 'and' hisses. It inust be acknowledged; that iii the opening speech he dispkyed a peculiarity in his gesture, and a harshness in his voice. but tliese weie occasional errors, a n d by no , means , marked his performance in general. On the, contrary, - his• deportment was unaffected uh,o gether, and, if not graceful, % - vt t s n o t awkw a rd. His general snpport of the character also ; Mani fested a mind that could 'think for itself; and.he gave to iiianv passages a novel and strikingtorce, and which in Our ?pinion Was just also. But whenever the peculiarities which we bare noticed recurred in the faintest degree, the same illiberal opposition burst forth. Yet is was' evid.ent that having perceived what gave this parti.il offelic,, he endeaVoured to correct it, and that be gradually im proved in his progress : at length, however, in the first scene with Lady Ann, his opponents, we inigi,t indeed style them his enemies, be,7ame so violent that he advanced towards the stage, as it with an intention of addressing the audience: But when silence was restored, he - stood some moments in it state of consternation, and at 'length, being ohsi ously unable to summon sufficient courage to speak from -his feelings, -after a short pause he re turned to the business of the scene. He had pro ceeded but h few ‘vords when the satire tumuli burst forth, and he then came forward arid utter, d the following wools • Ladies and C;cittleinen: 7 —l stand here your vict,;:n. I anta stranger, and I have no 'appeal f yet I think - tti: seven: treatment I have experienci- - -sevel . e almost to emelt r, might justify sonic reinark—(Lund hisses..--,1 wish to expKtut what I have said. I call it Zruel severity, beeatt,e Ithink to hiss me, Cecil when endeavouring to address you, ii 'cruel. '— (Loud hisses and applause, and many ci ies of " Go on.") • A sense of justice then roused the audience, and he was permitted to proceed, but 'lot witlioa. frequent. interruptions, which were of so illiberal a kind, that they might fairly .be considered as the result of private enmity towards Mr. MEG GITT, if not of an -alarmed and jealous partiality towards other performers. In the death-scene this opposition was as brUtal and as wild a's the war-yell of the Indians. We shall conclude_ this unpleasant subject by stating our opinion of Mr. McoGorr. His figure is tall and commanding : his face is regular, and capable of strong and va rious expressiOn, particularly as.he possesses what is termed a marking eye. His voice is powerful, extensive, and of good intonation, and, notwith standing the agitation. of his ,feelings, and the labour attending the part itself, it displayed no symptoms of exhaustire, even to the conclu sion of the' play. His action, as we have said, was generally, easy ' and appropriate, though, like that of Mr. KEAN, it Scented 'at times in- . tended to - illustrate words, rather, than . senti, ments anti passions. lint what, howo et - , ex cited triumphant shouts in GIVOIIr 'Of Mr. KEAN, invariably produced a contrary effect on this oc casion.. Ithafi been said by the Morning Critics, that Mr. MF:GGoTT \yaws judgment, but in our . opinion, if we may venture to . makoa distinction, he rather • wants taste ; yet, 'as he manifestly improved as he seemed to understand the grounds of hostility, there can he no doubt that a befte.r . knowledge of a.London Audience Will render him a respected Performer. He certainly appeared to be too solicitous to unite and reconcile what were held as excellent in KEMBLE, COoKE, and KEAN.' Hence he was sometimes solemn, and then abrupt ly familiat ; but, upon' the • whole, he displayed considerable powers; and if the beginning of hi,;, performance had been like 'what it was in the middle and concluding stages, we have no doubt that his reception would have been totally'the re verse. Anotiier circumstance which operated against him, was the effect of the heavy rains on what is called the Prince's side of the house, as the water poured so copiously into the stage and adjoining box from the second tier, that. the visitors were obliged to retreat, and the event itself produced a loud and continual conversation among the persons who had suffered by this - inundat.on, and. those . who were near it. Previous to the Play, Mr. BARNARD came for ward, and adverting to the effect of the rain, as, sured the audience, that the house had been tho roughly examined, anthivas pronounced perfectly secure. The extreme violence of the rain, how ever, was wholly unexpected,-and all due care, Ihe said, would be observed to prevent a reputi tbiii of this annoyance. Yesterday his. Royal Highness.the Commander.- in-Chief transtacted buisiness the whole of the - day at his Office at the Horse Guards. His Royal Highness 'the PRINCE REGENT, this clay held a Privy Council at Carlton-house, to re ceive the Recorder's Report of the unfortunate persons under sentence of death in Nesvgate. Yesterday the Duchess of WELLINGTON receiv ed letters from the Doke of WELLING ro cat Paris, where his Grace continues to reside in pt r feet health. Mr. KAYE, the iNlessenger,. has been lobbed of his money, and plundered of his dispatches he was conveying front Paris to Sir C.STEWART j the ruf fians otherwis - e ill treated and insulted hint. Yesterday two of the Custom-house Officers attended in Downing-street, when the Earl of CLANCARTY's German waggon was opened, froia which were taken a great many books and papers, the chief of' which Were lodged in the Secretary of State's Office. The bayonet has been p;pvcd to be so decisive a weapon, that a new bayonet exercise has been established; and a select . body of soldiers are daily trained at Chelsea, with a view to in structing the whole - British infanti:y hereafter... The rain fell in such 'torrents inmany parts of the metropolis from two till n ear four o'elo.c k yesterday, that many streets tvcre so overflow n, that boats might have been towed along them ; the High-street in the .florottib, spacious as it is, was under wa ter . nearly two feet deep for m utt; than an hour. 5 li \ ~+
