Upon these points, after a graceful ..and feeling tribute to the memory of the mart vred,PtAtcEvAL, in a short but elegant dedication,-thettimpiler, in an admirably written preface, makes. the foliowing accurate and judicious remarks " The crisis which Eligland has inst passed . was oue Of po ordinary ina - gnitude. thin objects Were not, as in former instances, the possession of a-sugar island, or the enjoyment of an unin terrupted comnierce in furs.

" It will be said, and it will he said with truth, that, most of these individuals professed themselves to be very friendly to the cause of theTeninsula. Let the following pages spew how their i . riendship was' manifested. Every thing which the British Government did ,for that cause Was.conderuned ; s-'--=-every 'thing which the British Government pro -posed to do for_that cause was deprecated. If aid was afforded to, the Peninsular Nations in the shape of money, the dilapidated state of our resources, and their inadequacy to so improvident an expenditure, was pathetically lamented. If our brave soldiers were 'sent to their assistance, Ministers were sneeringly asked, if they thought ~Great Britain could cope with France as a mili tary. power., Did our gallant ariny-achieve a vic tory ?—Their valour was prai,sed, but their lan ta-ds were declared to he barren. Was our im mortal. Commander induced, with a view to ulte rior operations, 'to make a temporary retreat ? It was loudly .declared that the .presuniptuous threat of the French vulture, that he would drive the British leopards into the sea, was about to be accomplished. We were told, that the honour able and chivalrous feeling by which men in pri vate life ought to be actuated, had nothing to do with nations, whose duty it wars to adopt a more cautious and calettlating policy. The vocabulary of reproach was eXhausted on hiS Majesty's Governments who were characterised as the most inefficient Ministers that had ever held the reins of State, and who, in a tone of arro gance, as offensive then, as it has since.proved ridiculous; were pronounced to be oitstinately persevering in a hopeless contest, and plunging th e 'country into irretrievable ruin. Year after ;year, through all the vicissitudes of a conflict the the most generous, hut the most tremendous in which England was ever engaged, ridicule, mis;. representation, Inc:nice, and prediction, were the weapons used by the Party against sstisnd argu ment, and the' dictates of a nOble and determined spirit. Buonaparte—that . Juggernaut of the Western Hetnisphere—that foul idol, besnicared‘ with the blood of millions of yietitus---as with maps , of thetit an object of enthusiastic! adMira tion. In their perverted imaginations, lie was in vested with the divine attributes of omniscience and omnipotence. It is difficult temperately to speak of , such opinions and such conduct. -- EVery generous nod p,itt bOtic feeling is 'excited in, their reprobation. . . " VI the contrary, it is impossible to recollect the measures of the present AdOdnistriition, and, of the Administration at the head of which was that virtuous, pnblic-spirited, and universally be loved individual, of whose services the hand of an assassin deprived his country, ere, in the con summation of "the hopes elicrished'in his warm and loyal breast, he could experience the highest reward of which such a nature was capable—it is impossible to reflect on the mighty difficulties which they have had to encounter—without, a foe tun only of unexampled physical strength, but whose extraordinary career of success had almost ena= bled - lahn to triumph ()Vet. the human mind, and to render doubtful the eternal and immutable principles of justice and honour—within, the complicated embarrassments arising from stag tinted trade, scarcity, and the hostility of rivals, who, however ineciurpetent to great affairs, were • sufficiently dexterous - in seis:ing on matters of a ,subordinate nature, and converting them into the . means of petty bur teasing anuoyanee—it is impos sible to contemplate the firmness with which, under such arduous and unprecedented circumstances, they maintained the system of policy on which they had so wisely resolved, undaunted by external or internal opposition, their attention steadily fixed on the glorious goal to which their eiforts have at length itatipik leeonglat titertn, ser3i clients of the 'hie : ltest aniiiration and r es pect.

Instead of the feverish, rest of ail arnicd:tnice, a Peace 'has - heel' esta, hi shed, promises, when the-svvell that fs tee natural consequence of the tate violent tem pest has subsided, repose no less permanent than profound: The commerce of the country, long pent up by the operation of that system so tit tettrdeltrO'ye( i , is now flowing forth in a thousand various eitannels, and her manufactures are rlpid,- lyditfusing themselves over Coutinental EUrope.
