THE SUN REVIEW.

(So. IV.)

We t;;,3 day depart from the further cousidera7
Mu of the Political Memento, to introduce to the-
notice of our Readers the Prospecins- of a' Work
about to appear in France, an which must in a
"Cmilar degree contribute to the advantage of the
of Public Cause in that,Country, by showing men
and things in their true light. A faithfultPortrait
of BUONAPARTE, like a faithful portrait of his
Friends, the Talents, is indedd a great desideratum.
We trust the Editor of this useful Work brings
with him to the task; abilities andinclastry equal
to its Importance. We would anninmdvert upon
this topic at greater length,.but the Prospectus so
folly. explains the views of the Aathor,- that We
need not add any thing to elucidate it: We may,
however, say, that we hope' this Work Will find
its way to the English Reader in a good tfansla-
tion. The stile of the Prospectus is easy
.and

Two great powers exist in man, mental and
corporeal. The whole secret of tyranny is to
controul both these, and to, reign equally by
'ignorance and tear. No person knew this se-
cret better than Napoleon BuOnaparte. During
fifteen years that we have groaned under the
Oppr•cisov's, sceptre, what free use were we•al-
lowed to • make of our reason ? what knowledge
Lave we:been Remitted. to possess, even of our

dearest interests ?. What mea.tis-.have been left us
of learniag those.things moiit of consequence for
us to knoW ? . We were, in the middle of Europt,
strangers'to-Enrope ;. the thickest veil was pread
over truth ; -the Nation was become the `sport
of the mos*. audaciotts falsehood, and of the most
outrageous political quackery. We might
gine that Buoriaparte had.resolved to' make same
grand experiments upon the hutnan heart, tO as-
certain how far he might abuse its'weakness and
credulity, and to effect that through the means of
• deception andof vice, which shotild.ority appear
the work'of good faith and of virtue. Thus, with
- out real courage, be Conceived the design of tip-
' Fearing a Hero (1).
" Without greatness of soul he wished to be •all
mired as a superior Beim;—without religion he
aspired to the honour of restoring the' altars
without learning, he pretended td universal science
—without humanity- he undertook to 'adorn himself
with the title of Benefactor of Mankind and,.
though Nature had for Med him to. be an object of
terror and hatred, be wished to compel us to be-
hold in him an object of confidence and love.—
To succeed in this project, to - what means
bad be not recource ? There existed in. this
Nation men -of courage who could act, write,
or speak ; he made away • with then); some-
times by exile, sometimes by imprisonment, or
even by death. He re,established. in
,(2) France'
the laws against the suspected, and filled society.
with informers and spies. There existed between
France and the neighbouring nations a light
of knowledge which might one day have placed
his actions in a true point of view.. He hastened
to extinguish it; shut up all communication,
prohibited. all correspondence, intercepted even
private letters, and decreed the blockade of
the mind, as Ile had done that of the British
Isles. Then were we condemned to know no-
thing but that of which he chose to inform
112, and the empire of falsehood rose rapidly
on the ruins of truth. Then he surrounded
himself with mercenary Writers, who filled France
with corruption and impostures. He hired a set
of vile flatterers, who were only occupied 'in
boasting his exploits, in disguising his crimes,
and deifying his tyranny. From one extremity of
France to the other was heard nothing but this
concert of voices—" Napoleon is a great man—
Napoleon is the greatest of men.''Some even
cried, " Napoleon is a God !" (3).

" At length, after fifteen years of servility and
extravagance, the worship of the idol is abolis4
ed, and truth has resumed her ;rights. It is now
permitted us to spew the Heroin his real colours,
and to inform the people of wb.it he has taken. so
much care to conceal from them. It is a task
that we have imposed upott hut-selves; a task more
lionotrrable than easy ; we have collectect,hoth in
France and in foreign countries, all the documents,
acts, and historical monuments ,ofwhich thegloomy
tyranny of Buonaparte had interdicted the publi-
cation: We have drawn from all the• Port-folios
that have been willingly opened to us, secret in-
formation, and.we dare to hope that these mate- .
Vials will appear absolutely .new to the greater
part of our Readers. What a crowd of events is
contained in the course of the fourteen years which
ha' just passed ?—We shall have to paint that
celebrated return from Egypt, the source of so
many extraordinary events; we shall give the de- .
tail of the famous day of the 18th Brumaire, and .
the secret causes of that Revolution ; we shall
follOw Buonaparte into Italy, in..the fields •of
Marengo, -and: in all' the• Treaties contracted at
the conelusion of this campaign. We shall have
to publish acts relative to the pacification of La
Vendee, and of the principal personages who took
part in it. We shall expose the true causes of
the war between France and England ; and will
unveil all the impostures of pretended conspiracies,

(1) Iltionaparte had nothing in him which constituted true
CO aroge, He neither kneW how to bear prosperity or adver-
says be was bumble and without fortitude in misfortune—.
. arrogant in good fortune : he ,enjoyed -R. cruel, pleasure iu
maltreating his enemy after he was subdued.
(2) One of Robespierre's . celebrated laws, by which per-
sons were apprehended and imprisoned on the almost ludi-
;.crous change,;" Ike suspicion of being suspected."

Expedition to St.-Domingo, of tile Austrian Wars,
. of those of Prussia, of Russia, and of Spain, and
especially of those two memorable campaigns,
•whose'disasters have accelerated the fall of the
Tyrant, and the return of our Kings. We. will
shew all that the Allied.Sovereigus have done to
break our fetters, and to restore to Europe the
security of peace. 'the invasion of the Rothan
' territory, the captivity of the Sovereign Pon-
tiff, the proscription of the Cardinals, of the
Bishops, and of the Fathers of the Council, will
become the objects of our- consideration wnd re-
. • searches. Wes will expow, as far as lies in our
power, the spirit of the Institutions of Buona-
, parte; the Resourcel of- his Policy, and the Mys-
teries of his Police (the most . perverse, perhaps,
that has ever existed, particularly in the latter
periods of his government). In short,. we shill
omit:nothing which may tend to depict this reign
of horrors. in its native hues; this monstrous
• tyranny, so fertile in calamities of every kind.-,--

of Napoleon; we must

.we shall trace ra-
pidly the different circumstances of his life, before
his accession to the Consulship. We shall speak
of • his conduct during"' the reign of terror ; we
shall 'recall the 13th Vendendaire, when he raised
himself to the Tank of • General-in-Chief on the
corpses of his fellow-citizens. We shall recount his
campaigns in Italy, of which lie dared to at-
tribute .to himielf all the glory; and that Cot-
respondence with the Holy See,, that work so ,
much boasted, in which lie had no' share ; and
expedition, to Egypt, in Which .he !waded
himself with so many crimes, antlterthinated with.
so little honour. Finally, to turn our Readers'
from these sorrowful images, and to sOften the.
picture of evil by thesconternplation of good, we
will, try to -trace the history of the House of
Bourbon
_since its exile, and the criminal cata*
strophe•which has covered with most noble blood
the throne of St. Louis and of Henry the IVth. .
This work will appear by Numbers, of five sheets
each,, which will be published regularly every ,
Month. We will verity our facts by documents,
which will prove them when. we judge it neces-
sary.; we will state nothing but what is esta-
blished
,on the most incontestable authority ; for
it -is not a satire which we wish to -compose :
Faithful to the truth,. we will: tell the bad,, without
concealing the 'good ; for in what other manner can
we pretend to the confidence and esteem of Our
Readers. We will even collect-fugitive pieces, and
epigrams which have sometimes circulated in pri-

DUTCH PAPERS.

LEYDEN, .Tvim 17.—Letters from Porto Ter-
rojo mention, 014 the Sovereign of the Isle of
Elba had.formed a Council of State, consisting of
12 Members, of which General Bertrand, Grand
Master of the Palace, is President.

We learn from Brussels, that the number of
military men likely to return to Belgium, in con-
sequence of being dismiss-ed from the French ser-
vice, is estimated at •2,5,000 nien. From this we
may calculate the number of men whom the con-
scription swept from Belgium during the period
of its annexation to France.

FLAARDINGEN, MAY 15.—This day our herring-
busses put to "sea,—an.event of the 'most joyful
nature, and which we had not witnessed for many
years past. The concourse of people from the
neighbouring towns, on the Occasion of this na-
tional festival; was extremely great. The port
and river were full of yachts and boats decked
out in the gayest manner, and satisfaction shone
on every countenance.

'.['HE .HAGUE, JUNE 15.—The States-General,
whose sittings had been adjourned for some weeks,
the day bctAre yesterday resumed their delibera-
tions. The sitting was opened by a message from
the'Prince Sovereign, to the following effect :
" Noble and Nighty Lords

"At the moment when you resume ;,your im-
portant labours, it is very agreeable, to me to he
able to congratulate you on the conclusion of the
•
general peace.

"The treaty entered into between the Allied
Powers and his most Chriitian Majesty presents
to all nations the happy prospect of a long re-
pose, which will in a few years have effaced thdse
traces of calamities which so many dissensions
and wars have left behind them.
" You will have remarked in this treaty, high
and noble Lords, not witliout the most pleasing
sensations, the stipulation by which our coun-
try, such as it has been already re-established,
is, thanks to Divine,Providence and our united
efforts, confirmed and guaranteed by the unani-
mous will of the most powerful Sovereigns of
Europe.

" We are convince a tliat the calm and trail-
quality which must arise from such circumstances,
favourable in all respects, must have the most
beneficial influence on your deliberations—on
those laws and regulations which 17;11St extend
