4r..y robbers, are rescued from the scourge with which
it was desolated for ages past
a- The benediMons which accompany the Empe-
ror have' been re-echoed through the whole :chain of
the Appennities. Getioa heard them..e--she hastened
to present her homage to the Emperor, and her wishes
to the French : she is half French by her afTe&ions
and her habits. The interest of her own affe6tions
commands her to be so entirely. Locked .up be-
tween , the sea, which formerly supported her,
the passages of which our Enethies, who are her's,
have Stopped up, and those mountains, which our
laws, wisely prohibiting, make a barrier ,to her,
Genoa, at a loss for every thing, Without Strength,
without laws, almost without Government, wishes the
honour of an adoption which would unite-her with
the-Great People, and cause her to enter into a par-
ticipation of the blessings it enjoys, and of the first
of all those 'blessings, its Government. This wish
has been-accomplished--it was the wish of all-classes
of the Citizens, to'all of whom the union has been
a benefit, The Emperor has consecrated it by his
presence : he was received with the transports which
the presence of a: Deliverer excites. Genoa, now
French, receives the produce of Piedmont; furnishes
France with the produce of her own industry, lives
and enriches herself by her,
eand promises her, in
return, 'an increase of maritime strength and corn,'
mercial wealth. Many of her Citizens., already
known to the Emperor, receive flattering distimaions
from him. The French Laws are introdUced there
without injury to any of the intereAs which have
• heretoforeemade. them flourish. Her thiances are
ameliorated--her pnblic debt is consolidated,-hr
territory is increased--it is divided .into Depart-
ments, and the Department nearest to France
re-
ceives a name whi'cli recalls one of the first suc-
cesses of the Here of France, one of the first eroW•ns
with which viiitbry has adorned that front, since so
loaded-'with laurel's. The laud where this laurel,
the presage of so many immortal successes, has been
reaped, deserved well to be made French. Parintt
and PlacentiT, whose destinies were for a long time
unsettled, and subjected to- Gothic institutions, are
now proteaed by the head of the Empire; and from
his passage there they may date a code of laws and a
system of Governtreent better suited to our etilight-
ened age " 4.. Italy has also changed its faee, and
the anolent kingdom. of the Lombards has risen at
' NAPOLEON'S command. Italr, reposing herself tin-
der the shade of 3.1-onarchy, after her long troubles,
has no longer -any thing, to envy France for—the
same breath re-animates her--ethe same poWer pro-
teas her—the same spirit establiShes her new in-
stitutions, adapting them to her situation and man-
ners. - 'Milan has saluted with the name of her King
him whom she had before called her deliverer-
Mantua receives with transports him who, under her
wails, was the conqueror, of five armies, sent one
4fter another to defend her.

" Asseuibled at Castiglione, the French Soldiers
recall to their remembrance the successes of the
Army of Italy. Into whatever part of Europe they
are conduCted by the genius which has so often
led them to victory, they permit themselves still to
hope fora the most brilliant successes. Italy is
proud to receive Laws from a new CHARLEMAGNE,
and fancies she sees all the pr6sperity her soil
and climate are: calculated .to produce renewed in
all its ancient glory. A Prince nursed with his
lessons,- and previouSly adopted by his affedions,
as he has been since by- his decrees, continues his
work, forming hiMself on his model : Italy at- .
taches itself with enthusiasm to' hiS steps.. bis-
playing a new chara6ler, she hopes to prove, that
her long weakness was the vice of her institutions,
'and not The fault of her inhabitants. France, cul-
led:l)g with eagerness the details of these grand'
creations, and supposing the Emperor still em-
ployed in accomplishing them, was surprised to see
him at the Very-gates of her capital, and ordering an
account to be given of the internal state of the Em-
pire. A. few days after England hears with asto-
nishment the cannon along the coast of Boulogne
proclaiming his presence. In the midst of his
chosen Troops, and of his last cares about those
grand preparations, he seenis‘to taste the sweets of
repose. His long calculations are near their close,
his impatient Army, fancying they are already ar'
rived at the moment that is to reward all their la
bours.—England, in alarni, no longer for her glory
and her commerce, but-for her very existence, pre,
pared a powerful diversion on the Continent : her
cry of danger made that Continent tremble; its
warriors rushed to arms, advanced from every quar-
ter towards' France, and already threatened her
Frontiers. On this,unexpeEted aggression the Em-
peror changed his plans of the campaign : short
was the triumph of England ; for, having di-
verted to other Countries ,the calamities which
she dreaded herself, she has only hastened the
downfall of the, props whiCh supported her poWer,
and, dug an abyss which is sure to 'swallow
her up" * *
The late -victories in Gerthany 'are next de-
scribed in the like bombastic strain, to be handed
down- (as .the writer says) to the remotest .poste-
rity. Peace, be tells us, was concluded even
before some parts of France knew that the War
had begun.
" If courage and genius condui,led the War, ge-
, nerosity and moderation have made Peace. Through
these, a Sovereign unsuccessful, in his warlike de-
signs, has recovered by Peace a great part of his
States : his losses are nothing compared to the dan- -
ger of being deprived of all his possessions.
" The Princes, our Allies, have seen their Au-
thorities enlarged, and their titles dignified. The
Ethperor's bounties surround Frarice with Nations
attached to her Government. Italy, that illustrious
daughter of France, and who promises to be worthy
of her, has shared in the.fruitS of the. War—but her
strength constitutes our's ; her riches add to- our
prosperity ; our enemies are driven far from her
shOres ; they no lon4er can stand in any commer-
cial relation with her ; this' rich prey is snatched -
from their avidity. Italy is a conquest, gaiiied over
England. She is now united to Germany by the
'doable bond of neighbourhood and friendship, and
by that alliance which' her Prince has just formed
with the daughter of one of the most powerfiil
SovereOis of the German Empire. Now it is
that Peac6 i 5 secured to the mild, inhabitants of
the Motmtains of the Tyrol ; commerce will soon
enrich its before, deserted and its having; -
been conquerec, prove, in reality the source of its
happiness; ,
