From the London National Rtgirttr $ Dec.
BUONAPARTe's REPUDIATION OP JOSEPHINE.
V e felt a chilling horroor ofl pierusing the parti*
culars of this divorce, The name of Buonaparte
was lung familiar to oor mtnd as conveying every
thing that is abominable * and yet this last act,
trifling as it may appear in the catalogue of his atro
ciues, i$ branded with so much hypocrisy and in
gratitude ; discovers such contempt of moral, so
cial, and religious obligations ; betrays so profound
a disregard ol lorms and opinion, that we do not re*
collect a single enormity of his life so hideously drs
gusting. T bis impression was not connected with
the ill-treatment ot Josephine ; it arose from the
idee of a man, possessing so much power, talents
and capability of doing mischief, whom uo endear
ing ties can humanize ; nor favours, nor familiari
ty can fix. Jake ihe tyger, nothing can subdue the
ferocity of his disposition. Lake the tyger, he is
sure to lacerate the person, who for years, minis
tered to his wants, and hoped to gain him by kind
ness, The most hardened reprobates have occasi
onally discovered a milkiuess of human nature—the
vilest egotists a trait of sympathy. But Buona
parte alone displays a savage, uaielentingconsisten
cy ; alone is insensible to the affect ions and sraypa
thies, and amiable weaknesses of humanitv. This
divorce has stamped his character, and will give it,
through a perpetuity of ages, a currency, in which
not a particle of its baseness will be lost. He mav
procmiin 10 a synod oJ rascals—that vile herd of
slaves and sycophants, whom he dignifies with the.
ti.e of senate—that “ the wants of bis polirv and
the dignity of France" justified the measure, bat
their fear* will get the better of their sycophancy
and obsequiousness s and even they will anticipate
the judgment of lulure ages, and internally repro
bale an act, which sets before them the insecurity
of their own favour. This has been the most irt-<
consult!ate freak ol his life, Great and compre
hensive crimes excite not half the resentment nor
disgust which an act of this nature produces on the
generality of men ; the latter applies to the feelings
ol the lowest individual, and comes within the range
of his apprehension. In every country, and in eve
ry age, treachery and ingratitude were marked with
peculiar nbhnrreore ; and the prostituted appf-obuti
on of every titled scoundrel in France will not bias
the natural feelings of the multitude. Buonaparte,
notwithstanding the solemnity of a full dressed Se
nate, the sublime farce of a family council, the
boldness of h.s appeal to god, the affecting scene
ol the separation, and all hie grimace; impiety,
cant, and hypocrisy, does not impose opofi the
meanest capacity ; and must be viewed in the light
of a treacherous friend, a lecher, and an ingrate.—
1 his fellow has occasionally imposed opoft oursel
ves, and we never had the courage to despise him.
But the star of his gfeatiress begins to dim ; and it\
will soon descend, like tb«t of most conquerors, ip-1
to a he mephitical sink of debauchery; His conti
nehcy was admirable; his moderation worthy of
the highest appUose : and the vigour, activity, vi
gilance and hardwood of his mind—the healthy off
spring o1 the former threw a veil over bis enormi
ties ; and the villain was forgotten in contemplat
ing the capacity and greatness of the than. But
these have lost a part of their elasticity. He has
already sipped out of the enervating cup nfpleasure.
Ambition has lost its novelty and invigorating ■
charm, Other wishes and wants, and enjoyments,
rise in delusive forms. He has strayed from the
rugged paths of gloiy into the flowery fields of amo
rous dalliance ; and that man is only halt ambiti
ous. when that passion is divided with others.—
Some Kgyptiah queen has unwrinkled the stern
brow of the soldier j and taught him to lisp add
sigh; and sing amourous ditties.
It the world be worth tby winding,
“ Think, oh! think it Worth enjoying.
Would to God ! some change of the kind had ta
ken place, in hopes ot soltenmg the ferocity of hit
nature! It is true, his conduct of Vienna,- during
the armistice, was trapped id mystery j and his
inactivity, for that interval, was uaacoontable.—
Hie fair countess—bis epilcplick fits—the present
divorce—the yearnings of a father. I? we combine
these circumstances, we shaft shrewdly Suspect our
hero to be in love. O Cupid ! King of Gods add
men ! Buonaparte has abandoned the sword for the
distaff; and onr modem Hercules lies at the feet of
some imperious Omphale. Ah, faithless Celadon 1
What shall become of his poor Josephine? Who
has just giveu him " the greatest proof of attach*
raeht and devotion wbieh hat ever been given on
earth.” The woman who ratted him from the dost;
rescued him from the hard gripe of poverty, and
served him as a footstool to mount his present fUgi
cious eminence. The ungrateful wretch! he kick
ed it away when he wanted it no more. But »o
common baseness coaid gratify hit mind. He ad
ded insult to ingratitude and perjury. In tbepre
Mnce of her two children, before his own relatives,
Who bore her a deadly hate, and with a solemnity
