MI:Moi REA SECRETS NU NAPOLEoN B'JONAPARTEi ecrit par
an Homing: qui ne l'a pas_quitfe dcrtis Quinze -Paris
et Londres ; ebez Cothurn, Libraire, Conduit-street; Han-

crier-square. 121n0.' 2 iota. pp. 440.

It has seldom fallen to our lot to peruse a Book
of such lofty pretensions. .dnd such meagre per-
formance ; the Author of it, perhaps from mo-
desty, perhaps from motives tdf prudence, conceals
his name ; but we could suggest a much better
reason than either for his remaining unknown.—

From the services which the Author says he was
called upon to perform about BuoNAFARTE, such
as opening a window when the room was too h►►t,
or shutting it when it was too cold, or picking up
a paper when it' fell off the table, he e%idently
wishes, it to be supposed, that he was one of the
attendants (perhaps the valet-de-chambre), upon
that " great.. Prince," that " profound politi-
cian," that 'great Captain of the age'," as our
sagacious Opposition Patriots used to call him.—
But as we do not feel disposed unnecessarily to
wound the feelings of Mons. CONSTANT, who had
the honour of filling th4t. office, we do not W MI to
insinuate, in .the slightest manner, that he is the
Author of this-Work. But it is.time to let this
Writer, who so loudly " thunders in the Index,"
spe ►k for himself :7--" No man in 'the world," be
says; " knew BVONAPARTE better than I did; no
Olie could know him better, no, not even himself;

for, more than once, I guessed what he was

going to do, before he had even projected
What an invaluable Correspondent would this
man have made to any of the Allied Powers ! how
-uselessly was their secret 'Service money employ-
ecU ! He then proceeds to tell his Readers, that
as soon as be had access to BLIONAPARTE he
formed um most inconceivable, the most difficult,
and perhaps the most dangerous plan that ran be
imagined ; and that was, regularly and systema-
tically to study him, morally and physically, in
pablic'and in private, by day and by night"—
Jitit, in order to elude the penetration of Buo-
NAPARTE, the Author tells us, that he put on
in hi presence an appearance of " idiotism and
thoughtlessness." We by no means wish to of-
fend.‘MOnsieur L'lneonnu, but we are sadly afraid,
that, having assumed these appearances for fifteen-
years, " in public and in private; by day and by
night," he has not succeeded, in shaking, them
nit ; else, perhaps, he thinks that may
impose upon his Readers by the same means
that lie did upon his Master. We must,
hot-ever, do our Author justice, if 'be really
was about the person of BIJONAPARTE, and
had an opportunity of , viewing him in hiss private
and unguarded niomentseor 114 any confidence re-
posed in him; his tiaterest enemy cannot accuse
him of having betrayed it ; his secrets, if be has
any, are locked up in his own breast, and his
Reatlets will know jtist as much about Ffves7A-
rwrE when they have read his Book as they did
before they opened it. He tells us, indeed, that
BuoNaranze was born at Corsica ; that he was
educated at Brienne ; that he joined the Jacobins
early in the Revolution ; that lie was at one time
reduced to such poverty and distress that he was
about to twit France, and seek his -fortune in
sonic other country ; that he was afterwards,
through the interest of Bannas, appointed to the
Command of the Arinsaof Italy; that he gained
his victories there more by a wanton profusion
of the lives of his soldiers than by his military
skill; that after returning front Egypt, lie entered
into divers intrigues, first to be made Consul, se-
condly, to be made. Consul for life, thirdly, to be
made Emperor,_ and fourthly.to have the succes-
sion settled in his own Family ; that be mur-
kred the Duke D'ENGnIEN and General PI CH a-
Gku, and finally, that he is' choleriek, selfish, ty-
rannicalaand cruel. Now, unless our memory is
more than usually treacherous, we have before
read Nip these facts in an infinite variety of News-
papers, :..lagazines, Pamphlets, Biograph ies.,
dotes, and Histories, published on the Continent.,
in Gseat Britaia and Ireland,- and in Anierica.—
We must, however, candidly acknowledge that
if our Author is spariug in his facts, when he does
get hold of 'one he makes the most of it. What
t!te preface with which he introduces it,- the
commeats with which be iatellards it, and the
reilections with whiell' he concludes, he makes an
sueeslote which a less skilful writer wouhl tell in
raaeaty lines, serve him for as many pages. Our
I{c tiers, however, may wish to see some'Eatracts
Isom a Work which promises so much, we will,
therelore, extract foul.) it all that is ne NV ,
we hate nu doubt we can give in about one co-
lumn of our paper., The first attiele which we
shall aa:sact frcea this Work is o,l.l.freaty, which

The Kingdom of Lombardy shall be hereditary in

and of Anstria,'are for ever excluded from the
"f hrone of Lombardy.

" Wishingsto pot an end to the factions by which
France is distracted, LOUIS STANISLAS XAVIER,
Brother of the late King, shall he recalled to the
Throne Of France. •11y the following Articles,

possession of • Hanover till a Peace is signed.with
Ekgland, if tho King of FRANCE so pleases ; • and
the conquered States, especially Holland, are to

ters," &c.
The Author having favoured us with a pernsal
of- this inchoate Treaty, earnestly intreats " Mes-
sieurs les PublicisteS" to cast their eye over it,
and he assures them they will find in it the hand
of a profound Politician ! !

ESQUIRE LACY'S REASONS.

Why Doctor MIMS was not raised from the
stead on the 25th day of May, MS, according to
the French prophet's pred;,,tion, approach so near
to the apologia's for the non-appearance of Shi-
loh, that we are tempted to lay them before our-
Readers •

" We are not unsensible of the harsh censures
and uncharitable reflections that ate cast upon us
and our' btethten, the prophets, in not raising
from the dead our late spiritual brOther Dr: EM os,
on the precise time we foretold ; therefore, to
prevent, as much as'in its lies, all further clamour
and unnatural violence that may he occasioned
thereby, we have.thought fit to give our reasons
for this oinissip.n in the following order
" First, and principally, we are threatened with
a popular rage and violence, which the laws of
God and Nature allows all mankind to avoid, hav-
ing been practis&i by good and holy men in all
ages '6l the world, even our Saviour himself,
John x. 39. &c. who further confirms.
,thiS truth,
Matt.x. :33, by advising his Useiples when they
were persecuted in one city to flee into another.
And, if it was lawful for the Apostles and Christ
himself to avoid the fitly of their wicked and un-
believing adversaries, we hope no man can rea-
sonably blame- us for deferring the accomplish-
ment Of the said intended miracle. Jonah pro-
phesied the deStrrictiou of
,Ninevelk in forty days,
but it was deferred near forty years, on their re-
pentance. .
Secondly, The secret decrees of the propheti-
cal spirit are treasured up in the fountain of, wis-
dom, and consequently past man's finding out,
especially by a rebellions and gainsaying people.
- " Thirdly, Raising the dead, restoiing' the
blind and lame to•.their sight and limbs, are great
miracles, and only performed by faith, prayer,
and fasting ; but, where a rude, enraged, and re-
. vengeful multitude is gathered together,- in de-
fiance of heaven itself, all acts of devotion are
obstructed, and even suspewled till a more season-
able time.

" Fourthly, Though prophetic periods do not al-
ways take place, according to the punctual warn-,
inks of the agitated spirit in the child of adop-
tion, yet, like a great conqueror,:wfio sometimes-
meets with .difficulties and miscarriages in his
march, in due time break through all obstruc-
tion, for the more glorious accomplishment of the
promises.
" Fifth/y, and .lastly—Uad we been peaceably
suffered to appear on the day and hour we pre-
dicted, it would then have been decided who
were the cheats and impostors (name's we have
been notoriously,loaded .with), bUr when open
rage, mob fury, and even death itsj,lf, 'not only
threatened but looked us in the face ; such a
time. we arc sure, was inconsistent for the under-
taking of any thing that related to a public satis-
faction. For had the miracle really been wrought,
in such a confused medley of ungovernable rabble,
instead of being acknowleded as such, 'we had
run the hazard of being torn in pieces, and per-
haps occasioned a fatal and general disorder among
the people—for whose sake, more than for fear of
our own lives, we prudently delayed attempting
the said weighty undertaking, till a more favour-
able opportunity—though we could freely have
sacrificed- our own lives. for the sake of spiritual
truth, if such a dispensation had been either ne-
cessary or convenient.; but (considering theanad-
ness 'of -the age, the malice of the mob, and the
rage of many.tnalecoutents against the present Go-
vernment, who in ail probability would have taken
the ad-vantage of such a confusion, in order to
have promoted their, long wished treason, and
wicked designs). -we preferred the public peace
and safety.of the Government before our own in-
tprest and reputation ; which, however so much
Shaken in this particular, shall never discourage
us from being loyal and obedient to our superiors,
notwithstanding our being rendered obnostiotts to
them liy spiteful and malicious agents, who are
always fishing in troubled waters, to bring about
their' -own notoriOns and pernic',lus purposes,
though to the scandal of themselves, and ruin of
their Christian brethern, whom they hate for no
other reason titan being honester than them-
selves.

" To conclude, let men of carnal principles have
wln sentiments they please of us, we are resolt-
ed to act as the spirit of peace and love within us
shall dictate and guide us, and as the supernatural
agitations of Divine Inspiration shall enlighten
out' understanding ! ! !"

lc We arc rather idelined to think, that the ablest of the
English Sybils'adherents will be unable to produce any apo-
logy half so cogent as Esquire Lacy's (from the Harleiau Alj.i-
cell.uny) for Mrs. Southcott'S dying instead of producing a
son! The pessons about the corpse refused to allow it to be
opened last night, though the old Lady is evidently enough,.
to use the elegant expression of'one of them, " as- dead as a
Doc' Fail, and as et"' as a Poker

IMPORTANT CORPASPONDENCE.

LETTER 11.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

SIR,--L-It would have been well for. Europe, and
,glorious for the British nation, had Lord CASTLE-
REAGH known that Italy was a part of our Con-
tinent, included betcVeen the 38th and 46th de-
grees of N. Lat. and the lith and 19th of E.
Long. His Lordship's tatal ignorance of this
fact (which I will in a future letter endeavour• to
skew, from geographical authorities, to be indis-
putable), as well as of the history of this country,
in which profoundly difficult subject, his col-
leagues, the British Ministers, are not one.pgr-
ticle better instructed than the illiterate Noble-
man they have sent to Vienna, is the• fruitful
source of discord and misery to come..

It is also altogether unknoWn t o your Ministers,
and in a great measure to the pOpttlation of your
country, with the exception of a few men of
talents, the enlighleited Statesmen and Patriots of
a dark' and venal age, tiVat' Italy is bounded on
the -north by Switzerland, and the Alps which
SEPARATE itliOrit GERMANY on the west by Car-
, uiola and.the Adriatic ; on the east, as I am firmly
persuaded, hyl,the Mediterranean ; and on the
south as has been said, and I verily believe,
by that sea (though it is' not easy to con-
ceive hoW the same sea can be on two sides
of a country at once) and the Alps which di-
vide it from France. All! Mr. Editor, what dread-
ful and mighty considerations arise out of this
vieo Of the situation of Italy. Switzerland and
the. Alps are ordained by Nature, to separate it
front Gcrnyany, but yet the harpy ambition of
Austria would violate the order of nature, pierce
the sacred bulwark of Alpine heights, o'erleap the
barrier of libeity which Hel.:etia, has interposed,
and riot on the ruin of a country which you may
perhaps have read, was, by an ancient and vene-
rable philosopher, denominated de Boot of Eu-
rope. Bootless; indeed, is such a name now, if it
cannot save us front the feet of cruel invaders.

Nur Alps, nor Appenines can keep 'ein out,

:or fortified redoubt—!

Sir ! the length of this boot has been computed
at 600 miles, and its breadth, like 'that of other
boots, is very unequal. We strapping Unitarians
in the North think ourselves entitled to be at the
top, and it will not be easy to leather us out of
our object. But More of ibis hereafter : it is
necessary for me to proceed to-give you informa-
tion which will astonish England undsher doltish
Rulers.

Italy was once divided into three great parts, as
follow :—First, the upper, or our part,• consist-
ing of Savoy, Piedmont, and a division of Mont-
serat, subject to the King of SARDINIA-Genoa,
a free Republic—Milan, Mantua, and the rest of
Montserat, under the dominion of * Austria—
Parma, and Modena, subject to their respective
Sovereigns—and the .great State of Venice. Se-
cond, the middle part, or calf of tLe 1.90 t, et it
towards the anele, coniisting,of Tuscany, Lucca,
and the States of the Church.—And third, the
lower, or debased part, 'consisting of Naples.—
" I hope here be truths," as one of Jour best
writers has said in a play, the title of which
sure for Measure) is so dear to every Italian tlo-,
som, that it is as highly valued here as in the na-
tion of its. author. Here be truths which, I think,
must make your"wicked Ministers pause before
. they proceed with their iniquitous .schemes con-
cerning Italy.

And, Sir, I think you' must nice with me, that
it is a most melancholy thing that'the British Go-
vernment should be entirely unacquainted with
these important matters, which, if they bad
known, they would never have misconducted
themselves as they have done with respect to this
fine country. Their It-famous breach of good
faith, which led 'to that of which I was a horrified.
eye-witness, the execution 'of nine hundred and
eleven men,•women, and children, at ten o'clock
on the morning of the I ith, in the citadel of Mi-
lan, whence their bodies were thrown into the
Olana and ,Lantbro , has alienfited the affections of
every Patriot among us from the country which,
prior to this barbarous massacre, they esteemed
more than any other foreign nation. Oh ! that
men, competent to guide the helm of the State,
with wisdom to conceive, and talents to direct the
Councils of England, had been in the place of those
drivellers who have reduced you to your present
lot of dehnsemenf, infamy, powerlessness, and im-
becility ; then indeed—hut the soul sicken; at, the
hare contemplation of the reverse we should then
have had to delight us ! England would hare been
rery different from what- it is.
Intending to resume these
observations--will-
ing, for the good of mankind, to communicate ,
the knowledge of which .1 seem to mySelf to be in
the exclusive possession—desirous of instructing
your blind and besotted Rulers in History and
Geography—and ardent in the diSclosurse of

come the hour of disclostire-when it may, the

There was an absurd report at the; Stock Fix-
change this day,f that Mr. VANSITTART, had sent
an intimation to the Cbthmittee of that place of
his intention to reign his situation as Chancellor
of the Exchequer. To add to the folly of this report
it was said that that Gentleman had also consulted
them as to the most eligible choice of a successor.
Ridiculous as this story, is, there. -were enquiries
at the Treasury into the truth of it.. -

Advices from' Malta to the Bth lead us to ex-

into a most valuable trading establishment

" 1. Excepting soap, steel, German linens and glass, all
commodities are to be considered as the produce of the Mill-
try, and the exporters are to have the privileges attached to
sucit a contingncy.
" 2. A direct trade is to he allowed 'to the East and West
Indies, and, to all the other dependencies of the Cyown ot the

Proposals-, it is said, are to be made to acquire
the same concessions for the trade at Gibialtar.

-The' 'l,Last India Company have lately come to
a resolution, which will be attended with riie most
beneficial effects, not only to their recruiting ser-_

amount to above 80, they are to proceed-from the
depot_ under the charge of Company's Officer,
under- whose orders they will be subject to the
controul of the Commander. The Officers are to
have a consequent indulgence of passage money.

" Our letters of yesterday," says a Morning
Paper, " front the Midland Counties, concur in
stating, that there had been a heavy fall of snow
for two or three days ; and that if it continued,
which front the state of the atmosphere was very
likely, the communication from the North to the
Metropolis must soon be considerably impeded, if
not obstructed altogether."—The Snow Plough,
described in this Paper of Wednesday last, we
strongly recommend to the consideration of the
districts thus threatened. _ _

Stitelok---Stue days ago, a. lady who resided
in the Castle at Dover, the. wife of a Officer on

swallowing poison. She =lit to the shop of a che-

refused to serve her, unless shewould state for what
it was wanted : this sh'erefused to do, and left the
slop.—She Pfterwards sent a soldier to the same
place for some spirits of vitriol : the chemist told
-the soldier, if it was wanted to clean firelocks, oil
of vitriol wonld answer the purpose better : the
man replied, that it was not tor_ himself, and he
did not know what use it was to be put to, but
he was desired to ask for spirits of vitriol. On
this the chemist served. him with of vitriol,
Which he took to th_e lady) who swallowed -itim-

ORIGINAL POLIAIY.

ON THE NEW YEAR.
Another Year baswiug'd its airy flight,
titi wrapt the future. in mystekious-night,

4n eager haste we feel; .
We long—we hope—and e'en swift 'rime seems slow—
*:nquiring ask, while yet we would not know,
What may this year reveal?

What may it not—Ah ! one short year may semi
To his long home, a lov'd, a valued friend;

Bring others to our view— _
Lay hundreds low in death—Alas! replace
Full many'a well-known, and lamented face,
By forms entirely new.

A year may bring the Wounded mind repose, •
O'erwhelm the happy with 'unntnber'd woes
May ease the captive's, doom :
A fteetingyear, 'ere it is past and One,
May add fresh beauty to the form of one,
Decv another's-blooin—

May ope to sorrow, Pleasure's blisSful door,
Mahe the poor wealthy; and the wealthy poor :

Titus change the fonns of fate—
May show'r profuse, from golden realuis above,
Ou private homes the joys of peace—and love—
Bring discord to a State.

Could we look forward but through one short year,
How would the smile alternate chase the tear,

The tear its place supply;
How one sad hour would view the mind perplext„.
Perchance reliey'd and free- from care the next,
Ere yet that tear was dry.

But though weak Man alone can truly sec
What bath been-Hs—mid not what yet way be, ,
We'll fondly paint the best;
We'll bid the radiant dawn of hope appear,
Through its fair glass we'll view the op'niug year,
And while We hope—we're blest.

RIQTS AT THE THEATRE IN DUBLIN.

[FART'IIER PARTICULARS.]

On Tuesday 'night, as was apprehended, there
was h tumult, such as was never' witnessed at a
Theatre. The uproar was tremendous—every
chandelier, supplied for the third time, was broken
to atoms ; every paunch in, till the dress boxes,
every pat►nel in the second tier, and all in the
third,,with the exception of three or four, were
wrenched from their places and flung into, time pit ;
the seats were then torn from their founda-
tions," and shared the fate of tile gilded fronts.—
The orchestra was destroyed, big andlittle fiddles,
and the grand piano-forte itself was almost cloven
in - twain. We trembled at one time for the
scenery, but- the Lord Mayor saved this part of
the Theatre ; nor', to do the audience justice, did
they manifest any disposition to injure it,"
Crow-street Theatre was entirely demolished
last night. Not a lamp, chandelier, lustre, foot-
light,. or seat,;-was left unbroken in any part.of
the House. The audience was- as numerous as
that which originated the tumult on Friday night;
but,it.was much more determined ; it was a mi-
racle, indeed, that a particle even of the scenery
escaped.
The refusal of Mr. Jones to ,Make a personal
apology continued the source of the uproar. The
malcontents would enter into "-no compromise.
Placards were distributed -in all quarters, and
handed to all persons, but they proved abortive.
One of them was as follows-: , •
