ple.—We apprehend that he was actuated in his

choice by a deeper policy.—When he assumed the
title of King of Italy, every discerning mind fore-
saw that he meant to make his realm commen-
surate with its name.—The incorporation of Li-
guria with his Italian Kingdom would be too great
a compliment paid to the penetration of Europe ;
and it would alarm Naples, Austria, and Turkey,
a little more and a little earlier than he wishes at
present.—ln a short time, however, if his plan for
universal dominion be not restrained, we shall see
all Italy, as ►ell as the Ligurian Republic, a part of
France. This is almost distinctly avowed in the Offi-
cial ankles which we have quoted. By the union of
Piedmont withFrAnce,we are told, that the Ligurian
Republic being completely surrounded and over-
whelmed by France, it is her interest to become a put
of the French empire. This same argumera, that
-applied yesterday to Liguria, will apply to Rome
to-morrow, and next day to Naples, until the whole
of Italy btFonsolidated with France. The tight of
blockade claimed by the English, is also another
cause for union with France, which applies to every
other state equally as to Genoa. Holland and
Spain ought, upon the same pi inciple, to be imme-
diately incorrurated with the French empire ; !-Jr

against both, when neutral, did Ave exercise this sigh•
in its full extent.
The Address of BONAPARTS to the Legislative
Body of the Italian Republic contains also some
passages of peculiar interest at the present crisis.
Alluding to his pacific overture made to this coun-
try, he observes, that our evasive and insulting an•
swer had considerably weakened his hopes of the
re-establishment of peace ; that he hoped, however,
the peace of the continent would not be distutbed ;
hut, in such event, he did not fear the chances of war,
and would he there whenever the preservation of his
kingdom of I:aly required his presence. This beast,
.ii4eaetl with some of the passages to which we
have already adverted, betrays not a little jealousy
and fear of the Continental Powers.

The otter intelligence in the French Papers is of
minor imisortance—Prince EUGINE BEAV:IARNOIS
has been appointed Viceroy of Italy ; a dignity
which is to render him a fit match for Her Majesty
of 1.1 RUKIA ; and Mstva retains for four years his
Eiillation of Vice-President, with remainder to his

BONAP•"TE,has instituted a new Order of Knight-
hood; it is to be called the Order of the Iron
Crown—the motto to be " Dim me l'a elunnee, ate

a qui y touch, ra."

Having distindly heard, and faithfully reported
the declaration of Mr. Fox, relative to a new Ae- I
mini,tration, in the Debate on Thursday sigh!, gad
having yesterday expressed our surprise at the mis-
representation of it published in some of the Papers,
we feel pleasure in obeying a request, from autho-
rity, to insert the following paragraph :
s, A paragraph appeared in a Morning and
Evening Paper of Saturday last, stating, that in
the Debate of last Thursday, Mr. Fox expressed
himself to the following effeet, viz.—" That it war
now his serious and settled resolve never to look to
or accept of any public iitratien ; but that he should
support, to the but of his abilities, the measures of
those who were now looked upon as his political friends,
they rows to act in concert With the pre-
sent Minister." Such are the words imputed 'to
Mr. Fox in the paragraph alluded to. We are
enabled, on the authority of persons who sat close
to Mr. Fux, and who listened most attentively to
that admirable speech, TO CONTRADICT EVEIV
WORD CONTAINED IW THE, SAID P•RAORAPII.
only is there not a syllable of truth in the allege-
, meet of that paragraph, but the idea attempted to
be conveyed by it is as false as the words are dif-
ferent from those really used by this eminent per-
son. Mr. For, undoubtedly, expressed his with fur
a comprehensive Administration, sand declared that
no personal views of his should stand in the way of
so desirable an objea; but he nit) boor drop one ex-
pression that could be construed into an approbation
on his part, of any of his friends (of whatever &scrip.
lion) forming a 'ration with the present Ministry."
