The dynasty of 13i.ToI4AiART.E and his ramily be.-
hig at art end; the Senate absolved the Army and
NaVY of their oithi.tO him; and ordered all pri-
soners to be released_ He then made a Virtue of
necessity, and sent theta by Caulaincourt his ab-
dication in writing, ,viteti they ordered him out
of Franee to the isle of Elba, with a pension for
life. Pk :the,l2th April, Count d'Artois entered
to'the geheral'joyof.the city; and the King
of Spain returned to his kingdom. On the 23d,
Louis XVIII. having quitted Hartwell, in Wick-
ingbamshire, and been most superbly received Lv
the Prince Regent, between whoin mutual.
nouts were granted, left London for Dover, and
sailed froni thence to Calais in the way to his
throne, which had been usurped and polluted by
murderers and robbers for more than twt nty
years. He arrived in Paris on the 26th, and on
the 24th Lord Castlereagh had signed a Conven-
tion with the Ptovisional Government there, for

an immediate cessation of hostilities by sea and
land. Lord Wellington did the same in the
South with Soult and Suchett, after taking Tou-
louse, and fighting two battles before they knew
of the downfall, which ended the wicked and am-
bitious warfare of Ft ench blood-thirsty usurpers,
after the most atrocious struggle on their parts
ever known in modern history.
From this glorious period, apparent tranquillity
seemed to prevail, and the FrenCh Government was
subsiding into an amended and legitimate form,
under the regular succession of a mild and a mer-
ciful Prince, when, to the amazement of Europe,
after an interval of about ten months from the
banishment of Buonaparte o Elba, he, on the Ist
Marcb;•lBls, left that island and landed in force
at Frejus, and 'itiv'aded the South of France,
which with little interruption he penetrated to
the capital; from whence the King retired to
Ghent, in Austrian Flanders.. This invasion,
which was .countenanced by the military and
rabble, brought. forth an animated State Paper,
dated at Vienna, declaring Buonaparte an invader,
a traitor, and an outlaw; and that the. Sovereigns
of Europe would unite. and exert all their force
against titn,.liir the pnrvoseof a•-genei:ul repose,
but, as thelyiends'of.france,hold no commerce
with I.)int., On the 18th June, having left Paris,
and headed
,his,army the northern frontiers,
he attacked the Prussians at Waterloo, in the
Netherlands, which ikeOnght Prince Blucher anti
the Duke of Wellington into the field against
him, and-they destroyed half his .army,-dispersed
the rest, and .he tan away to ,Paris, where his
total defeat-, and the high displeasure of the
Senate, forced him again to abdicate his usurpa-
tion. Foreseeing his danger, the capital being
surrounded by a most formidable army, which
had driven him to its walls, he sought shelter
from their provoked vengeance in flight to the
western coast of France, Where, blockaded by the
English, and unable to cs'cape for Anicrica, ac-
cording to his intention, lie surrendered ,to Capt.
Maitland, of the ship Bellerophon, who brought
him to Plymouth, from which he was removed
into the Northumberland, and on August the Gth
or 7th, sailed for the island of Saint Helena,
where on the 17th October he safely arrived, a
prisoner of state for the remainder of his life,
unpitied by the lovers of virtue, peace, and hu-
manity, and only lamented by the vicious and
ignorant.

Thus ingloriously ended the wild and frantic
pursuit of an upstart Adventurer, who aiming to
be Emperor of the world, after the manner of
a Don Quixotic, has obtained from the British
Government, in its mercy for the labours of this
Sancho Panza, a smart- spot in the small island
of St. lielena, instead of Barataria, where the
sooner his body ocettpie six feet by three of its
earth, the sooner will he be relieved from the
horrors of reflection, and the world be released
of a man in whose character are mixed up ail
the ingredients of sin, CIVIL, POLITICAL, and
RELIGIOUS.
