4eti Hero of Corsica that we are to have

tion. upon his belief. He would say, try some
tnore credible imposition, for this is too gross
to be listened to for a moment.—These lines

were- penned by a profligate Agent of BUONA

PARTE, who feared neither to advance lie or prac

tise villany, in order to forward his Master's
cause, and vent his displeasure in railing against
his adversaries. They are not the reasoning even
of a distempered party-man—they are the dic-
tates of an interest unequivocally identified with
that of the. Corsican Usurper—they were written
in Paris, and only transcribed in London I ! !

And its wickedness is only equalled by its absur-
dity; its disloyalty by its folly.
Allowing for a moment an assertion which is
false.; that the restoration of the BOURBONS must
be preceded by terror and Victory, is it to •
be imputed to them as an offence, that they must
employ force to dispossess Usurpation, which has
thrust itself into their place, and appropriated to
itself the property which is their's"? At this rate
a Robber has only to establish himself in one's
house to become the legal Proprietor of the man-
sion, and the attempt to oust the sturdy Ruffian
by law and ar.ns, is to be esteemed a crime in
„ .
the rightful Owner. We shall not animadvert up-
on' the scandalous paragraphs which conclude this
furious tirade against the House of BOURBON—as
the Opponents of BUONAPARTE they have no right
to expect either decent regard, justice, or truth,
from the Morning Chronicle. Neither shall we go
more deeply into the subsequent parts of this
nauseating piece of Anti-British sophistry and
falsehood, which thus proceeds :

" The ancient Constitution of France having been corn.
" pletely subverted by the Revolution, her new Kings wil
" possess the most absolute authority, without the snialles
" shadow of constitutional controul."

We ask the learned Theban to prove this hy-
pothesis, and shew us in what rests the impos-
sibility of restoring with the Bou RBONS the ancient
Constitution of France, aye, awl of improving it
too for the good of tic people ? But he would
