It was stated by a lacquey of litionaparte—a,fellow wfm had been just dispatched to Europe upon a mission of intrigue—that his master had many illiberal privations imposed on that his t a bl e lead'ibent red excessive retrenchment ; that his 'doleence was severely restrained ; that a morose and ungenetotis vigilance hail robbed his retire ment of quiet and comfort—and, tilioi) the whole, a 'cause of hardship, quite to the taste of the Whigs, was math.: out for their esponsal. They f e ll i n love, at once, with the•studied narrative of fietiti, .ons hardships, which this fellow had spread abroad. a depraved chivalry, they avot y erl themselves . the redressers of all the wrongs which " the Child and Champion of Jacniiiinisas" was imagined to lie suffering. 'lliey . cliAllenged the Ministers to the Li s ts —the nation was invited to look on, while. the Chatiipions were engaged—the charge .was s ounded—the combatants were commiti v d in .e , ;a1(1 ct—and, at the very first onset, truth and the Administration were proclaimed the victors. There never was a politer instanee of invention titan this fable, which had been attempted to have )„, pose d oil the CI eilhility of the country. It turn= eel out, that if any cause of complaint existed, it was , •perh ps, that the Common Disturber of the %vorld had been treated with a illfillifiCel,Ce, ytft suitable as it was unmerited ; but let this matter be as it will, it was clearly established, to the ap parent mortification of the %Vbigs, that a ll t h at had been alleged, concerning the pentiriotts and . parshnottious curtailment of litionaparte's table, was a gloss and imptident falsehood—that his a t_ Jo wances, on the contrary, vtere stiperfltiously abundant—that the wine personally allowed t or his daily arse, was enough to make three ordinary topers litterly intoxicated--that his accommoda tion was laid out after the most liberal and gene rous design—and that, if lie met with any incon veniettf!e, either in his mode of• living, 01 ill his place of residence, it was only to he attriboted to the' sulky_ capriciousness of his own disposition, and his splenetic awl intractable temper. Nothing is( so noble as generosity to an eviemy tabu hat Liien into the extremity of fortune. No tfulus the reality of a great soul mute . • than - sptre and I:it up a fallen foe. But Bun. inagnaiiimondv dealt with, to meet the and disability to do turther 'le suffers, but he sulkers only in re straitit for critnes innumerable, and actions the mt - ist ittrocious—not f(sr the. plunder of na• (ions and th'e'overtlirti - wing of thrones, of which: he had been gnifty doting the reign of his lawless' and •nefarions ptitv'ertuft for soborned assassina tioos and judiciary niorders—but that lie may L commit no further. T r espasses against the !Milian race. s tight to war was only fottuded upon his appetite lot plunder and his lust for power. fle svized a Goverument, during the phreitzies of a wild awl protli.2ate race—he plat aged the Nation, over when, lie usurped the tyranny. into war, it: raise his frame to a dreadtal eminence, mid to ex fetid his power over nnotfendiug Stales and Eto pires. lie had no right to his Tyranny—he had no il l !ht to the atrocious enormities iii which he ghitted himself in his capacity of Usurper—he tvA answerable, like any other criminal, to justice, for his wrongs against people and nations, when he was deserted by the power which alone conqi lured his qualification to rule and to oppress—for, when vanquished and a captive, there WAS no throne to which he shoold be restored—and the rightful claimant of thethrone of France had as, serted his pretensions to it. The misfortune of his town war; which doomed Buonapirte to defeat , nettle hint 'at Once an outlaw and an ourcast.—l - le was the kin , - of no subject—the subject of no king Ire was a'singolar and an isolated being, not the leis responsible for his abominable crimes, because he had abused the po'Ner he had obtained without a right. And, if he were spared for his enormi ties, because they were committed upon a gigan tic scale of wickedness—because his whole career was a . surptising and a terrifying glare of guilty splendoor—is that a reason that he should he left at large, to prowl upon that society whida he had so shockingly affil cted for so many dreary and melancholy years of tyranny ?—to harass it with fresh schemes of ambition, to steep it again in misery and ruin ? Perhaps Jos ice may he de frauded of her due, when the person of so terrible a criminal is avowed to be doomed to safety.— But, as the guilt was singular, it, let the mercy he, that remits its punishment. What punishment could atone for Buonaparte's crimes ? If there be any, perhaps it is—to let him live. To le3ve him leisure to turn back to the hideous retrospect of his own actions—time to ponder upon the mor tifying errors of us phrenetic ambition--to hate himself for his vices—to retest himself for his • follies: perhaps the fate of captivity at St. He lena is the exact punishment which retributive • Justice would award to a culprit of so uniq u e stamp. Let this be as it will, whether there he conscience enough left noseared, to convot re flection into punishment, olie thing is'clear—that sitch a man, displaced Irmo the Throne, of which he was unworthy—unclainled by any Sovereign, anal divorced fiton.all allegiance to 11.1 y—with ilia piiwers of mistlitet which lie possesved—with all the revolutliwury resources o,f. the times, still spa nagable asol.couvertthle to,..plans of uproar and contusion—ought not to be left tree and unfetter ed, to re-enter upon his career of evil. If there he any mode te's exceptionable that, the cootio log of hint ut St. Helena, whereby the same es sential advantage way be secured to Europe, it is not to be found in any of those disquisitimis, con cetuing the eating and drinking of a fictitious Emperor, or a lath-and-plaster Sovereign, which, during the last Session, were delivered in the House of Lords. There is not living man, who is not convinced, that tireenlargentent of litiona parte wrothd lie necessarily and unavoidably follow - to! by fresh tumults, and revived wars in Europe ; and ate those, who have fought but for peace— lotzarded their own and their subjects' happiness, liberty and life, to win a peace—are those, the conservators of the world's repose, to cast away the pure and unsullied rewards of ail they suffered, and to permit the grand mischief-maker of the age, to try his hand at new plots and conviracies, re volutions, invasions, aid wars ) Who are. to he his sureties for keeping the common peace ? A Monarch upon .the Throue of his forefathers, the rightful inheritor of his sceptre, according to the ancient laws and customs of his country, has solid and substantial pledges to offer, in the interests and happiness of his people, for his faithful ob servance of his compact—for it is they who must. pay the penalty of his breach of his faith. 13nt what guarantee is there that Httonaparte, at large, with the world open to his schemes, and his pride stimulating his ambition to search out new oppor tunities of repairing the blutiders of his former greatness, would flout temptations to recover power, repel excitements to fresh adventures in So vereignty, and keep inviolable his parole of, ob scurity, hurnilizy, and peace There is no alternative, but to detain him from the possibility of allying himself, once more,. with the restless spirits of the• times—to intercept every scheme of ambition, by surro►ntding him with every physical barrier possible to his escape, onto the maintenance of ►►n intercourse with his partizans—and there is no place wherein all those esSential 'objects of- detention and security are so effectually obtained, as in the Island which now contains the gloomy and ferocious spirit of Boo naparte. There, a provident liberality. leaves him in want of nothing but complete liberty—bat the liberty of returning back to raise up fresh storms, and to conjure up again the defeated spit its of re volution and bloodshed : and, should any of his panegyrists be ever sent to keep him company— should, any of his a dvocates he doomed to his fel lowship—it may he a CM4SObIIIOII to the first who may be exported, that, out of an allowance of niue bottles of wine daily for his personal ,consemp .tion, Bonaparte has sufficient to share with a political friend. The Laureate's butt of sack, it► England, cannot aflord a thirsty - spirit as Oren dant a supply as the cellar -which the n►eniiicence of the British Government maintains for Buena paite—but of which Buonaparte's valet, and the Opposition, most grievously complained. It is to .be presumed, that Patriots of every sort—Refor- Aucts, Whigs, and so forth—interest themselves in the consumption of wine ; they always choose a Tavern - as the tit theatre of their elocution—as the proper seminary for instructing others in the pi inciples of Government., {l' be continued.) OLD tAILIV, SEPT. 26.. CHARGE OF 11URDER. if illicait Cluin - zb'es !di); - was intifeted for th`e wil ful murder of Janies 'thonipson, on the 16th of Septenihe'r, by striving a caravan .and two whel•eby he 'was inocke'd (14i 'n anti Thomas Iknijantin Jacksoii • deposed, that he was in the Green Park, near Piccadilly, where the first rev,iment of Guards were marching, with their band playing i there were about 200 per sons following the soldiers to hear the nm,ic, and by them and the soldiers the road was completely blocked up. It was about half past eleven in the morning, and the deceased was close by his side. The carJvan in question had entered at the Picca dilly gate, driven by the prisoner, and was corn ing towards the crowd with much velocity. There Was anothrt person on the box with the prisoner, and as he tzot Within about '2O yards of the crowd, there was a general cry of " stop." The horSes were stopped by the owed, but the prisoner imme diately began to flog them : the people then began to make way for him, and he drove through the crowd ; the horses were in a trot, and the shoulder of the near horse struck the deceased and tying him on his back, and the near front•tvlicel imme diately passed over his , body ; the witness then seised the bridle. of the near horse, exclaiming to the prisoner—" You have nip over a man— stop." The prisoner called out " Let go," and flogged the horses, and the witness was obliged to let go to save himself. The caravan went on, thellind wheel also passing over the body of the d.- ceased ; the deceased raised h himself op, placed ha s ham' ott his stomach, and fell back lie was taken to St. Georgt's Hospital. As he lay on the table in one of Ow. wards, tile witness asked hint, whe ther he did not live in the Strand ? and he re plied, " Do not tell toy mother 1 am touch tort." The witness weitt for his father, and on his re tort' rentai:,ed with him iutm n l lie died. Cross-examined —.The caravan stopped soon af ter the accident ; but whether it was stopped by tbr prisoner, or by the crowd, he could not tell. James TaUna corroborated, in most respects, the preceding testimony ; but, on cross-examina tion, said, the impression on his mind was, that th e h o rses were pulled in by the witness after the first wheel had _passed over the deceased. The prisoner !oohed back, and then went on ; the hind wheel not going over the body. James Blaney, the master of the 'land of the Gi-eoadier Regiment of Guards, was tin the right flank of the second rank of the band, marching front St, James's Palace to Ktightshridge barracks, and deposed, that when the caravan, which was on a foil trot, came in a line with the band, there teas it general shout of alarm, but. the witness could not tell what it was, as tire music was so loud ; but turning on his left,- he saw a young matt struggling noder the hind wheel ; the horses in advancing did not appear flightened, as they kept the same regular pace all the way. • Win Carolinian, another tousician.of the 4and,. corroborated the evidence ot the forrsier wittiessLs as to the ell of " Stop." The person who was driving the caravan kept on the same pace, with out pulltog its hitt horses, or e,iticavooriog to do so the crowd made every effort to get out of the way, and %viten the caravan was close to the witness, the only person near the wheel horse was the deceased, who had his beck to the horses, and hi face to the hand, and the shoulder of the near wheel horse, or collar, struck the shoulder of the deceased, and touting hint a hall turn round, threw hint On his hack, and As the witness marched on, be saw the fore-wheel pays over the body, amid the hind-w,teel lodge on his lett shohltlvr 3 he then marched on, and cotild not stay whether the hind wheel passed conipletely over the shoulder or not.. Mr. Wm. James Crow, the 1-loirse Stirgeon of St .George's hl fspita I, s• afro , that at ab o ut It al f • past eleven on the morning in quest too, the deccasettwas brought to the. Hospital, and his hotly was txa mi:ied by • the witness, in the presence of several other surgeons. The deceased seemed in a very low state, and died before one o'clock. A:ter his death the witness opened the body, and perceived that the liver was lacerated completely across, and he had not the least doubt that that was the eause of his death. The prisoner, in 1113 defence, alleged, that he could not stop until be had passed the baud, and said that he was extremely sorry tot is hat bad happened. Thomas Coombs, a private in the 3d Regiment of Guards, was then called on the part of the pri soner, and stated, that he was on the box of.the _caravan with the prisoner. The prisoner was em ployed to drive this caravan by the Contractor, who supplied the soldiers with bread, and after - the deceased -was knocked down the prisoner en deavoured to pull tip.; be did so, and then went back -to render such assistance as he could to the deceased. Mr. Surney, the Army Contractor, stated, that the caravan was his property. The -prisoner - had been in his employment about three months, and had an excellent character, and•he believed was of a good disposition. Mr. Baron GRAHAM summed tip the evidence minutely, remarking, that the greater part of it pressed strongly against the prisoner, and skewed an extraordinary degree of criminal carelessness, bordering very closely on the heavy charge im puted to him. It was utterly impossinle that that had so fatally taken place could be ascribed to any thing like accident. The Jury retired for about half an hour, and then returned a verdict of Guilty of illonslauglaer only. MIDDLESEX SESSIONS.
