heroes? Those gallant men, who fell because they
braved death with unspeakable intrepidity, and those
who survived, because they sought their safety from
their own arm, and from their matchless, their in-
superable valour ! During fifteen years that .Buo-
NAPARTE has now harassed and tormented the
world, can his flatterers cite a single adion which
approaches, in any degree, to the sublime and im-
mortal trait of the Croat WOKAZOWICH ?

If we are now asked how it was possible for Buo-
NAPARTE to make no mention of this Colonel, nor
of the advantage which he gained Over a column of
ten thousand men, nor of that retreat to which no
praise can do justice, we shall reply, that BUONA-
PAIUTE, who speaks with enthusiasm of his, personal
exploits, always exaggerated, and sometimes fabri-
cated, usually observes a profound silence on the
noble achievements and real exploits of his enemies.
It 13 not that he does not sometimes praise them for
their intrepidity ; because, in so doing, he praises
himself still more, since that intrepidity throws a
greater lustre round his vi6tories. to this we shall
also add, that, with this. new7fangled ben), the
meanness of jealousy has taken still deeper root
than the frenzy of ambition.

We cannot dismi'ss this article, without mention-
ing an episode which 'BUONA PART'S has inserted in
his narration of the combat of Dego.
He relates that General CAUSSE was mortally
wounded at the foot of the heights which be at-
tacked. Finding himself on the point of expiring,
he called BUONAPARTE, and allied him if Dego was
retaken ? " It is," replied the Commander in
Chief, " In that. case," said CAUSSE, " Vive la
Kepublique! I die content," and immediately ex-
pired. BUONAPARTE falls into an extacy at this stir=
[Aline ejaculation of a dying Republican ; and yet
there is not much in it to produce such raptures,
since this fanatic cry has been repeated by thousands
and ten thousands of rePuUlicans at the point of
death, if we may believe the official reports made

to RoBESitERRE f, to the Directory, and to litioNA
PARTE himself, before he took it ill his head to cal-
himself a Prince !

What would be curious in the highest degree;
would be to know what language this same General
CAUSSE would have held in the arms of death, if he
could have ascertained that this Republic, the objet}
Of his tenderness, and which occupied his last
thoughts, was about to be destroyed; that it would
last only a few years; and that the tree of liberty,
planted in the midst of hurricanes, and watered with
rivers of blood, was about to be levelled with the
ground, to rise no more t. If he could have ascer-
tained that the very man to whom be confidedhis
last wishes, was, three or four years afterwards,
under the title of First Consul, about to make him-
self absolute Ruler of France; and finally, its Des-
pot and its Tyrant, under the pompous denomina-
tion of Emperor ! _ .

t- It is proper here to compliment the Convention on a so,-
litary instance of modesty. When the ylcobirrrent to the
bottom, on the fourth of lune, with seven hUri'dred furious
Republicans, the dreadful screams they uttered
rang, many days after the at'ition, in the ears of ottl4bw4;iii
generous tars, who ventured their lives to preserve thcm.—
In the account of this catastrophe which was first given in
France, 110 mention was made of the y.icai ; but the op.
portunity of celebrating the energies of republicanism was
not to be lost, and the Morning Chronicle of those days has
the merit of announcing, that its intrepid defenders were
swallowed up, shOuting Five /a Ripmaque ! The glorious
intelligence, after making the round of the New Annual Re-
gister, the History of the War, &c. &c. reached the ears of
131,1t0 A s ; and now there is not a Frenchman, nor a Ger-
man, nor, perhaps, a Member of tile Whig Club thatiis
not ready to swear that the whole crew of theLyfzcobin(of
which our sailors, moved by their piercing shrieks, saved
nearly three hundred) resolutely plunged into the-ocean,
claiming Five la Republique !

CORONER'S INQUESTS.—Yesterday evening a Co-
roner's Inquest was• held, before ANTHONY TELL,
Esq. Coroner for Westminster, on the body of. a
young man, of the name of Yates, who was found
dead, on Thursday, in the King's Arms Tavern,
Bridge-street, Westminster. , From the evidence it
appeared, that- he had very respeaable connexions ;
he had been a young man of irregular condua, and
was discharged by a linen-draper, near London-
Bridge, to whom he was sliopman. He then ate
and drank at the King's Arms, engaged a bed for the
night, and was found dead in his bed in the morn-
ing. Mr. Lynn, the Surgeon, who was called in
upon the occasion, declared, that be saw the sedi-.
ment of opium in a phial and in a glass ; but, as it
appear:d that the deceased was rather in a perturbed
state of mind at the time, the Jury brought in a Ver-
did of Lunacy.
Another Inquest was held, before the sane Coro-
ner and Jury, upon the body of Nth. Morris,,a Gert-,
tlernan's wite, in that vicinity, who died suddenly,
by a fall on the preceding day, and the Verdict was.
Accidental death.

A . third Inquest was held yesterday evening on
the body of a young girl, servant to one of the per
sons connected with the establishment of Bow-street
Police Office. appeared• that whilst some one
was speaking to her on the preceding evening, she
suddenly dropped down and expired. The Verdit.t
consequently was Accidental death.
