YOUNG NAPOLEON.

" The eyes of the enlightened people on the
Continent are bent on Vienna, but not on
Prince Metternich."

So said the Constitutionnel a few months
ago ; and much more is contained in that asser-
tion than the upholders of legitimacy, and the
mad crew of Ultras, who do tag, at least, the
German Press, will allow Europe to learn.
There is, nevertheless, a wild and glowing spirit
in the young Duke of Reichstadt, which I
greatly doubt either Austrian state prisons, or
Mctternich's state lessons, will do aught but
increase and inflame. I must question—and
my opinion is founded on very dose and
very recent personal observation, aided by the
best information to be obtained—l much ques-
tion but that youth causes more trouble to those
now trimming the balance of established Powers,
than ever they need fear from the mighty Au-
tocrat of all the Russias. Nicholas may have
an overwhelming horde of barbarian troops, but
be can have no hold on, nor can he look for any
aid from the Liberals of the Continent—a body
daily growing in strength and extent, and em-
bracing, I may venture to say, the enlightened
of every class. But who among them, in the
event of that final struggle between the two great
warring opinions of the day, which the events of
Europe are fast ripening to a crisis, would not
receive with joy, and aid with united power
(merging as they already do all distinctions of
class of country, i❑ the one common continental
cause), a man whose inherited name, if not in-
herited spirit, would be as a key-stone to unite,
and as a mighty talisman wherewith to direct and
guide the elements of the storm ! His name
alone would be a host. The people know it.
There has been lately published a little poem,
the reception of which in France is alone proof
of what I have advanced, entitled Le Fils de
Homme, the notes of which contain much
new information on the subject of this deeply
interesting person ; though 1 have been led to
adopt a different view of his general disposition
ofcharacter, which gives no sign of that sombre,
melancholy turn of mind, which M. Bar-
thelemy therein assigns him. It is impossible
to watch the quick transition of marked expres-
sion which his countenance continually presents,
without perceiving as plainly as though it were
there written, that he was never formed in " na-
ture's coarser mould." It is the one desire of
h is heart to be a soldier. On being remonstrated
with on this perfectly impermissible desire, and
taunted with want of spirit in wishing to be an
inferior officer, and to command a dependent
body of troops, he replied, " Let me enter the
army only as a common soldier—l ask no more."
He is kept a close state prisoner, as his pre-
ceptor allowed to M. B. He is very fond of
field sport, in which he is occasionally i dulged.
Once he was permitted to attend a review, but
the effect was such that the trial was never re-
peated. He is much beloved throughout the
country.
The state of deep-seated feeling pervading all
ranks on the Continent is little known, or to be
guessed at by the passing excitements of party
feeling to which we are accustomed in England.
The sprit of Liberty and Light is widely gone

forth, more strongly evinced, because more
clearly contrasted, against the blacker ground-
work of foreign despotism and bigotry ; it has
settled deeply on the souls of the people ; I
could say much, too, of the energetic efforts
employed to stay, its progress and smother its
force by those holding yet the magni nominis
umbra of established power ; the life and the
spirit, and with them all lasting might, have,
however, departed, from their hands.

GERMAN PAPERS.

(From the Ilamburg Reporter of Dec. 4.)

COPENHAGEN, Nov. 28.—The Commissioners
appointed in April last year to examine the Light-
houses on the Norwegian coast, have concluded
their labours, and presented a detailed report. The
result is, that in the period of nineteen or twenty
years sixteen new light-houses must be built, and
others repaired and improved. The expences are
estimated at 113,90 n specie dollars (about 28,0001.
sterling), once for all as the first cost, and the an-
nual expence of keeping them in order at 10,706
dollars. His Majesty the King of Sweden and
Norway has, in consequence, given orders that
some of the proposed light-houses, the first cost of
which is estimated at 14,700 dollars, and the an-
nual expence 1,620 dollars, shall be immediately
erected.

It is well known that Commissioners hare been
appointed, as well in Norway as in Sweden, to
draw up a new penal code. Some Members of
both Commissions are to meet in Stockholm, and
to confer together in order to draw up the new
codes for both kingdoms, as nearly as possible on
the same principles.

is many years since so many Members of the Diet
were present as to-day, the number of those who at-
tended being above one hundred.
Very little has yet transpired of the result of the
deliberations. But we are glad to hear, not only
that the extraordinary expenditure will be met with-
out 'increasing the taxes, but that there is a con-
siderable surplus, which will be employed in paying
off debts.

HAMBURG, DEC. 4.—BORSEN HALL; FOUR
O'CLOCK.—In Wheat there has, during the last few
days, been little doing, the continuance of the frost
rendering it alike impossible to receive supplies
from the Upper Elbe, or to receive orders for expor-
tation. Our own consumers were, accordingly, the
only buyers.—There were trifling supplies from
Mecklenburg and Holstein, of inferior quality, and
not very easily disposed of.
In Rye little doing.
Oats are arm, our own consumers appearing dir-
posed to bug; and the supply not very large.
For Rapesevd there are no buyers.
From 21st to 25th, inclusive, 28 cargoes of corn
passed through the Sound—seven bound to British,
six to Dutch, nine to French, and six to Norwegian
and Swedish ports.

The absence of all intelligence respecting the Em-
peror of Russia's health here, as well as in Berlip,
is looked upon as a favourable sign, and has tended
in conjunction with the higher prices brought us
from England and Holland, to occasion a correspond-
ing rise here. Funds closed at the quotations be-
low, and tolerably in demand. Bills on London arc
in great demand.

HAMBURG, Nov. 25.—Next year, besides the two
steam-boats belonging to the Company at London,
there is to be a third in opposition to them, to ply
constantly between London and Hamburg.
To prevent the unwelcome visit of 500 Portu-
guese emigrants, who were said to intend to come
hither, the Magistrates have published an ancient
Ordinance, by which strangers who travel in com-
panies are prohibited from entering our territory.—
