THE GREATER PART FROM THE ORIGINAL IN-
FoiIMATION OF A GENTLEMAN' RESIDENT AT
PARIS.

IT is of so much importance to the 'ciVilized
world to have the characters of those who have
brought the Continent into its present degraded
state .properly developed, that we thii)k we per_
form one part of our duty to Society at large in
taking some notice of such works-as that to which we
now draw the attention 'of our Readers. But as we
are threatened. with a visit Irom the CHIEF DEVIL
in the GALLIC PANDEMONIUM, it is particularly
incumbent on us to give our Countrymen due warn-
ing, by exhibiting before them his true Portrait,
and the Portraits of many of those who are disposed
to assist. him in his operations. The work before
us is written with great vigour, and apparently
with an impartial pen. It is not, however, to. be.
expeded that a Writer who opposes himself to the
Revolutionary D.:drines of France, and endeavours
Po excite merited indignation against the Military
Champions for those principles, and the principal
agents in the propagation of them, should at all
times display the lrlgid calmness of philosophic in-
vestigation. A proper indignation, against those
who have maintained a system destrudive of human
happiness, and social liberty, must give animittion
and zeal to the enemies of that system. The Author
of this Wolk, however, refers to literary productions
of admitted authority oo the Continent, for most of
the rads Which he•relates;' and the reasonings which
he deduces from his.narrationq,.are supported by the
course of events, as well as by most publications
that have appeared on the same subjea. We shall
at present only extrad the following passage from
the life of MOREAU, because it brings him into
some comparison with the man who, after a long
train of artifices, has contrived to involve him in
disgrace, and who will most probably not be satis-
fied till he has consigned that unfortunate General CO
the Scaffold.

" WHEN Moreau was a general commanding in
Flanders, and his father suffering under the axe
of/the guillotine of terrorism, Bonaparte was only
a Colonel, sharing in the crimes of terrorism, and
a terrorist himself. Moreau owed his promotion
to his military talents, improved and guided by
the counsel of his friend Pichegru : the first ad-
vancement of Bonaparte he owed to the massacre
of the Toulonese in 1793, and to the recommen-
dation of his accomplices, Barras, Feeron, and
Robespierre the younger. Merit made Moreau,
in 1795, a Commander in Chief: the crimes corn.
mitred by Bonaparte in another massacre of the Pa-
risians, in Oftober 1795, procured him the com-
mand•of the Army in Italy. Moreau often retard-
ed vidory, by sparing the lives of his soldiers;
Bonaparte obtained vitiory by always, and often
without necessity, sacrificing thousands of his sol-
diers. During the retreat ot. Moreau from Bavaria,
in the autumn of 1796, he was more careful of the
preservation of his soldiers than.of himself; and he
more than once expos,ed his own life, to prevent hit
sick and wounded soldiers from falling into the
hands of the enemy. Before the retreat from
Syria, in the Spring 1799, Bonaparte caused all his
sick and wounded soldiers to be poisoned, and all
those taken ill or wounded during his retreat, he
left to be butchered by the Turks and Arabs.—
Moreau studied only the preservation and honour of
his army ; Bonaparte, his own advantage and pre-
servation at their expence. Moreau was courageous
and vigorous during the attack, but humane and
generous after victory : Bonaparte was cruel and
outrageous in battle; fierce and unfeeling after vio-
tory. In 179+, Moreau, at the risk of his life,
saved several hundred Hanoverian prisoners at Nieu-
port. In 1799, Bonaparte murdered, in cold
blood, several thourind Turks at Jaffa, who had
for some days been his prisoners of war. In the
winter 1795, Moreau sent Bonaparte considerable
supplies of his best troops, with which the Corsi.
can commanded the Peace of Leoben, and of Campo
Pormio. In the winter 1797, Bonaparte treated
Moreau with contempt, after having by his plots
undermined his reputation, and caused his disgrace.
An intriguer at the head of armies, and a tyrant at
the head of Government, Bonaparte's only study
was to usurp power, and tyrannize . over France
with hiS armies; whilst Moreau, as modest as un-
assuming, as liberal as unaspiring, commanded ar.
mica, and served the cause of his country, for the
liberty and welfare of his countrymen, without any
ambition for rank, or any intrigues to obtain do-
minion.

Bonaparte's Republican, Government, the extrava.
g ince and-profusion of his family, the prodigality of
his Courtiers, the lavishness of his Generals, .and
the wasteful and, destrulive expenses and irregu-
larities of his. Ministers, Senators, Prefettls, Trie
bones, and other Placemen, are. often held out by
Moreau to his countrymen as a proof of the Cor-
ruption, and as an evidence of the unfitness of the
present Consular Constitution, forced upon French_
'men by this Corsican Adventurer. Last Spring,
lilt a -Bell at Madame Recamier's, where many of
'Bonaparte's favourites were present, he loud said,
, that it iseand must be, an eternal indelible shame
and reproach to thirty millions of Frenchmen, 'not
to find amongst themselves one individual with ta.
lents enough to govern them, and to' suffer the de.
spntistn of'a despicable and cruel Foreigner, Whb
has waded- through floods of French blood, to usurp
the Throne of France t.' Since that time,. he Las
never been invited by Madame Recamier to any of
her routs or parties.
" This language is very different from - that
contained in Bonaparte's commanded or bought ad.
dresses, and if known to him, which it probably.
is, must excite-his jealousy, hatred, and vengeance.
He has, however, hitherto been obliged nor only
to dissemble, but to treat his rival and enemy with
more regard than he spews to Emperors or Kings.
Before Bonaparte left Paris, on his journey to Bra.;
bant, he exiled every General not in employment
atPatia: as Diloreau's estate is only twelve miles
from that city, he comes there several times in the
: week, either to visit his friends, or to frequent
Ithe theatres ; the Corsican dared not, however, in-
. sult Moreau with such a proceeding ; he therefore
invited him to an interview at Berthier's hot Lie—
. began the conversation by mentioning
some complaints, although he at the same time in-
sinuated .his respe& for Moreau as a General, and.
• his esteem for him as a Citizen. He told him that.
he might command any place in his disposal, except
that of a Consul. He offered to make him a Duke;
.or hereditary Sovereign of Parma and Plaiaanza,
and in return he only demanded his friendship.--
Moreau's answer united to the frankness of the sole
dier, the generosity of the patriot :—he said, ' he
was the personal enemy of no man, but the irrecon.
cileable foe of all men, either Princes or -Sans Cu.
lottes, who tyrannized over his countrymen ; that
in serving his country he had only done his duty,
without any ambition for power or expe6tation of
reward ; and should Foreigners again attack ir, and
he. were certain that his endeavours should procure
his countrymen that freedom, -for which they have
fought so many and bloody battles, he would again
offer his services ; but he would never draw his
sword, until he was convinced that his military- ta.
lents would be of other use to his Fellow Citi-
zens, than solely to leave them the aoice,of ty .
. rants ;' and without waiting for an answer, ,he re..
tired I. .
" The writer of this has been Moreau's p:iscrier
and guest; has associated with him ,in Germany
and in France, at Munich and Srutgard, at Paris and
Grosbois ; has been at hiS military parade, when
attended by all his Generals, Aides.de-Camp, and
Officers ; and at his table, when surrounded by de.
gance, beauty, and fashi-on : he has seen 'him in
his Camps on the Rhine and the Danube, and at his
balls and routs at Strasburgh and Paris ; and he has
always found him the same amiable, agreeable, mo-
dest, and unassuming man ; although, at all times,
in all places and in ail companies, a military enthu-
siast, whether in the society of ladies, or in,a circle
of officers, at the head of his table, or at the head of
his army, leading his soldiers to battle, or handing
a lady to dance ; but so lively, amusing, and inter-
mixed with anecdotes is his conversation, that even
French Coquets have listened to it in preference to
the flattery of their gallants.
" It is impossible for any person of•eaucation .
to be in Moreau's company half an hour without
considering him a great military charaCler, whose
thoughts and words are those of an Officer of erni-
nent talents, and much experience, and. whose only
passion is military glory.
~
." To an- open and pleasing countenance, he.
unites soft and insinuating manners; and to, the
frankness of the soldier, he joins the becoming ease
of the courtier, without the licentiousness of the
oi,e,•or the vices of the other. Frenchmen allOw
him the liberal gemd-nature of a Tur•e-nne, to whom
he is. compared for his able tatlids ; and the vigour
and patriotism of Henry IV. whom he resembles. as
a skilful warrior. -'Whey say, that in his attacks he
is a Gustavus Adolphushoiandi ai
atidaCrnde, and in his
1--
retreats a enop
Belleisle-
" All the reproach made against Moreau even by
his -enemies, is, that he continued to serve the
ma.sssin of a father whom he dearly loved, and his
ingratitude towards his friend Piehegru, -whom he
could not but greatly esteem ; but it may-be said,
without fear of coneradiCtion, or charge of partia-
lity, that, with the single -exception of Pichegeu,
. Moreau is the first, the ablest, and the purest, of
ail the French Republican Generals, and the one to
whtrm France. is the most indebted, because Melas
lost the Battle of Marengo, whereas Moreau gained
the Battle of Hohenlinden §.
. . .
.-a Les Nouvelles a- Ia maine, Germinal, an 3,1 . No. 3x,
. ' -,:tf- Bonaparte often ridicules Moreau's military conversa-
. tion ; he told somebody who reported it to Moreau, that he
looked upon him to be a tree militag pedant. Some time
atier'Moreau invited to dinner General Le Fevre, formerly a
Private in the Guards, at present Bc.iaparte's Favourite and
Senator ; when 'at table he said, I am 'called a military pe-
dant—it may be true enough ; but you and I know a man who
is both a milita7 lypocrite and a political impostor. ~
..§. It is the opinion of all French Generals, that'Melas lost
the Battle of Marengo, but t bat Bonaparte did riot gain it •
. that Melas was detested by his own faults, but- that Bons!
pane was not vietoridus by his own talents or valour ; and
-.that be swindled Italy • t rum Austria by the political inca.
Neity of its Commander, as much as by his'military igno-
fa JO%
- When the Austrian General, -Count de St. lulien, ' carried
thi dishonourable armistice of the Oath I une- ac,r, accepted
byMelas-to Bonaparte, the present French Ambassador in
Polugal, Lashes, with other French Generals, -shewed
