Whoever has marked, with an attentive eye, the
progress of Buonaparte, must have observed, t hat be-
sides pursuing that ordinary course of conquest and
acquisition, which inordinate ambition never fails 10
inspire, he is actuated by a romantic passion for the
restoration of ancient names and states, and an
ardent desire to link his name to these, as their..
second founder. The new-formed ktngdoms or
Etruria and Westphalia; the Iron Crown of CB:-
lernagne, and the Sword of Francis the First, are
all proofs of his devotion to this ruling passion, and.
we may fairly conjeaure, that the influence which
has hitherto governed this Comet, in its course, will
still continue to dired its progress. Believing,
then, that Buonaparte would even overstep the
bounds of sound discretion, for the glory of resus-
citating-, in name and boundaries, , any famous em
pire of antiquity ; bow much more are we to sup-
pose tie would be earnest in the accomplishment of
such an objet, when it is reconcilable with the
didates of the best policy, and accordant with all
his other designs and wishes. When not only the
fame of restoring the most celebrated pot, ton of the
world to its' former dignity, .but the benefit of ex-
tending his maritime power, are centred in the
same objea, we cannot doubt of its being enhanced
in value, and by many degrees recommend .d to LAS
most unremitting attention.
