FQ•in " 13irmingbarn and Lichfiela Chronicle," July 12.
the
Prominent among, h events of the last week
stands thehews from. St. Helena. • The great disturber of Eu-
rope, he who turned the world upside down, Who attracted the
notice, while he monopolized the fears of all Europe, is dead ;
his-mortal remains rest in .a solitary spot of earth in the midst of
the wide Atlantic, and he has sunk into the grave unlamented,
and almost-unnoticed. The moralist, Who loves to muse on the
vanity of mortal pursuits, and the nothingness of human ambi-
tion, will henceforth point to die lonely toinb of the exile of St.
Helena; as the best illustration of the humbling truths he would
inculcate ; and the Christian will be awfully impressed by an
occurrence so signally adapted tri.nrove that the Divine Pro-
vidence over the kingdom of men and tunieth them whi-
thersoever it will. The character of Napoleon. Buonaparte
now matter of history, and to the historian we will leave it ;
and he who in after ages shall paint the rise and fall, the ambi-
tion, the success, and the punishment of this individual, will
scarcely forget to mention as an extraordinary coincidence, that
the news of his death arrived in England, when the whole na-
tion Was preparing to celebrate the Coronation of that Sovereign,
to the vigour of whose councils, and the valour of whose armies,
Eur Ope owes its deliverance and Buonaparte his downfall.—lt
is with pain we have seen that those who glory in depreciating
the "character of their native country, have. not let this opportu-
nity pass of aiming another parricidal blow at her glory—not-
withstanding the account of Buonaparte's death clearly proves,
that it was occasioned bya disease beyond the reach of human skill
to cure; a disease which no change of cliMate could induce,
and the progress'of which external circumstances could scarcely,
even by
.possibility, have accelerated, yet we are assailed by foul
insinuations that he owed his death to " the unhealthiness of
the place of his confinement," and the " miserable life he was
doomed to drag in it." That his life was miserable we can rea-
dily believe; and that the confinement to which he was doomed,
a confinement which terminated all his power and all his pros-
dects in this world, was the cause of his misery, we shall not
eny. But that this confinement was marked by circumstances
of unnecessary severity, or tbat the spot which was chosen for
his custody was pecaiiarly unhealthy, we indignantly deny.
The caltnnny is as gross and notorious as its motive is degrad-
ing; - We blush to think that a British Journalist can be found
to sully his pages by its admission.
Before our paper goes to press, the question which has oc-
cupied the attention of his Majesty's Privy Council will have
been decided—That decision we presume not to anticipate; but
we may form an opinion upon the arginnents which have been
produced by the Queen's Advocates in support of her presumed
right. And as we know their ability and their zeal, and are
convinced that they have not neglected any thing which could be
urged on behalf of their Royal Client, the result of their labours •
and researches only gig es us new cause for rejoicing that this
question has been thus fully and publicly investigated. The
Queen's Attorney and Solicitor General'have hitherto assumed
it tone of confidence which is worthy of a better cause ; but it is
not necessary to suppose that they feel the same confidence that
they boast of. On a former occasion they used the same lan-
guage, but the public voice has long ago decided that their ar-
guments were then as weak as their expressions were strong ;
and they can scarcely hope that the Nation "rill now be easily
persuaded of the Queen's right, because they express their
conviction of its existence. They have rested upon usage ;
but usage does not of necessity imply right, even
if it be established ; and an appeal to history has decided that
no uninterrupted usage can be established. The truth appears
to lie in a yery.narrow compass.—Many Queens of England
have been crowned, and many have not. But whenever the
Queen Consort has partaken in the ceremony of the Corona-
tion, it has been by special permission and direction of her
Royal husband. It has been a matter of grace and favour, and
not a matter of right. Such appears to be the clear undoubted
result of that laborious historical investigation which has now
taken place. her Majesty's Advocates have endeavoured with
admirable dexterity to take advantage of every document,
which could by any art be made to appear favourable to her
cause ;
.but facts, stubborn facts, are against them ; and of this'
we are convinced no persons in his Majesty's dominions are
more aware • than - themselves. if it be possible that the
Queen could really wish to partake in the Coronation of her in-
sulted and injureu Sovereign, we trust that she will be disap-
pointed. And the worthy Patriots who, when they persuaded
her to stand solely on the question of right, gloried in the idea
that whatever might be her fate, their end would be gained by
the embarrassment of his Majesty's Ministers, have ft It their
disappointment already. The evil they meditated, they have
wholly failed of accomplishing ; but they have produced one
good effect which they never intended ; for they have brought
the subject fairly before the nation, and have thus convinced all
who can read and understand an argument, that the right of
her Majesty to be crowned stands eeactly on the same founda-
tion as her claim to take the lead among 'the pure and exalted
females of the British Empire.
