Mercy is the bright ,atl"vel in a Conqueror's diadem ; but there arc ei e es which asercy to one is cruelty to the spe to the: and clemency to a great o ff ender injustic: t World.

' 4 Whotoever sheds the blood of - by man shall his blood be shed." Xs a warninvg to the world, and an dainiil6 to posterity, i"s retitiired that this murderer sbOuld perish by the hands of the executioner. Forbear ance •is misplaced—it saps the -foundations of eternal justice, and shakes the• edifice of moral right. What.! are there no widows and children of Palm of Nuremberg to thrOw themselves at the feet of ALEXANIIER ) and demand retribution on the 'head of Min who destroyed their husband and father ? Are there no brothers and sons of Ac- DRE lloyEa to call for justice on the murderer of their illustrious relative ? Elo.s the British Captain WRIGHT no kinsman to enforce the trial of his se cret assassin,? Does the royal blood of D'ENGHIEN sleep in the dust, and ask for no vengeance on the vilhtin by whom it was shed-? Are all his murders forgotten ; nay, is the life-stveam of the stedfast, Gan, which is yet red on the pavement of Troves, possible to be disregarded ? We cannot believe it. But should all the rest forgive thi; ;NlonSter, the French Natioricannot. He has injured that Peo ple beyond the streteh of mercy; and no dastardly submission, when the ability to hurt was gone, can Or ought! to avert his merited fate. Ic is true his living or his dying , are alike of small concern to mankind, except for the sake of justice. Let him live, say our would-he philanthro pists,loathcd and abhorred—his existence a burthen to him, and no longer a curse to others. Let him die, we pronounce, for his crimes deserve death.— Abershaw, Williams, Nicholson, were not one thousandth.part so culpable; yet no one said, let them live to be punished by remoge and the stingrof conscience. Why, then, should anore exalted guilt escape the law Why should he, the Chief of Robbers and Murderers, be suffered to enjoy an Asylum of ease and . co:nfort ? To, speak of his pangs of 'contrition is an insult to sense, for he has shewn that he is unsusceptible of human feelings—he that has neither remorse nur pity, will not be punished by banishment to Elba , Uy the enjoyment of life, with a pecuniary' reward for all his crimes, twenty times more than his Conquerors, than WELLINGTON, BLOCHER, SCIAVARTZENBERG, will enjoy, as, the recompence of all their glorious toils. Is there any justice or equality in this distribution ? No ; it is to allow a bonus on the excess 'of guilt, and to crown. the most atrocious' and consunimate villany 'with .soc cess. It is evident, too,. that the miscreant prizes his life beyond all other consideration=-- " Unfit to live, but more unfit to die," - - he, like a poltroon, as we have ever declared him —a very caitiff, . inferior to SHYLoCK, , who calls upon his Judges to take his life, when they do take that which supports his lifehe, we say, skews that, in granting him this beggar's boon, /he - Allies bestoxi, upon him that which he .most values. " There is no personal . sa6rifice, even that of life," (lie exclaim's ! Brave Soldier !) " Even that of /ife - , which I am not ready to make to the interest of France." g , Oh faithless Coward! oh dishonest Wretch ! Niemy to thee would prove itself a bawd; • iris best that thou chest quickly." He dreads not a. shamed life—his apprehensions are of CLAUDIO'S base stamp—He shakes at the prospect of tlvat ,punishment which lie feels to be hisAue—the Hero trembles at the appalling pros pect of death ; and cries in agony. " Ay, butte die, * * to be worse than worst Of those', that lawless and incertain thoughts Imagine howling! 'trs too horrible ! The weariest and most loathed worldly life, That age, ache, penury, and hnprisonarent Can lay on nature, is a paradise To what We fear of death." The Morning Chronicle has assigned the deposed Tyrant a pension of 250,0001. a-year, and a do minion over the Island of Elba. Why the peo ple even of this small district should be affronted and curippl with the presence of the Outcast, we knoW not—or why a Corsican Lieutenant should - be repaid for . twenty years of horrible crimes by ,a princely fortune, is more than we can reconcile with our ideas of propriety. His connexion with the House of Hapsburgh is an aggravation, not mitigation, of his guilt. The Gazette Extraordinary, and its extraordinary Supplement, will be read with great satisfaction. MAEmoNr joined the Allies on the 4th with 12,000 men. At the same time, BuoNArAa'rE made a last' deceitful attempt to palm the puppet King of ROME upon the throne of France—!-but there was no diversity of opinion in France, and it was found that nothing but the dominion ,of the an cient line of Kings , could satisfy that country.
