THE NATIONAL RECASTER.

military genius of his Majesty the Emperor permit us to expect
great and fortunate events. It is those vast plans •here vulgar
mind- ate lost, that his brilliant genius embraces every thing in a
ioup &tell, and combines so many ►nanoeuvres, so many means, to at-
tain the same only and glorious end. The lion awakes, and his
awakenivg, will be terlible.
It is impossible to dissemble that Trance in no period of its his-
tory has shewn itself more worthy of the Mohr rank it occupies
among nations. Whilst its enemies, proud of a triumph obtained
without danger and without glory, represent her as humbled, she
replies to the jut coufidence.of her Sovereign. The same 1.061
of patriotism and litiO ay animates all parts of the empire. Rc-
