The following arguments. of NAPOLItO)( on -what
might have been feared or hoped by the Europeap
Powers, from the operation of his. views and char
ratter, had they aegniesced in his re-occupation of.
the Imperial Throne of France, are flaw Las Cases'
Journal:

What a fatality," he said, " that my return ftom
the Wand of Elba was not acquiesced,in,--that every
one did nut perceive that my reign was desirable and
necessary fur the balance and repose of Europe !
But Kings and People both feared me ; they were
wrong, and may pay dearly for it. I returned a
new man ; they could not believe it ; they could not
imagine that a man might have sufficient strength
of mind to alter his character, or to bend to the power
of circumstances. I had, however, given proofs of
this, and some pledges to the same effect. Who is
ignorant that I am not a man for half measures? I
would have been as sincerely the Monarch of the
Constitution and of peace, as I had been of absolute
sway and great enterprkes.
" Let us reason a little upon the fears of Kings
and People on my account. What could the Kings
apprehend? Did they still dread my ambition, my
conquest, my universal monarchy? But my power
and my resources were no longer the same ; and,
besides, I had only defeated and conquered in my
own defence : this is ; truth which time will mare
fully develope every day. Europe never ceased to
make war upon France, her principles, and me; and
we wen compelled to destroy, to save ourselves from
destruction. The coalition always existed openly or
secretly, avowed or denied; it was permanent; it
only rested with the Allies to give us peace: for our-
selves, we were:worn out: the French dreaded making
new conquests. As to myself, is it supposed that I
am insensible to the charms of repose and security,
when glory and honour do not require it otherwise?
With our Iwo Chambers, they might have forbidden
me in figure to pass the Rhine; and why should I
have wished it ? For my universal monarchy ?
But I never gave any convincing proof of insanity;
and what is its chief characteri,tic, but a dispropor-
tion between our object and the means of attaining
it. If I, have been on the point of accomplishing this
universal monarchy, it was without any original de,
sign, and because I was led on to it step by step.—
The last efforts wanting to arrive at it . seemed so
trifling, was it very unreasonable to attempt them ?
But on my return from Elba, could a similar idea,
a thought so mad, a purpose. so unattainahle, enter
the head of the most rash man in the world ? The So.
vereigns, then, had nothing to fear from my arms.
" Did they apprehend. that I might overwhelm
them with anarchical principles? Belt they know I,,iy
ezperience my opinions on the score. They have all
seen me occupy their territories : how often lia'ye` I'
been urged to revolutionize their States, give muni-
cipal functions to their cities, and excite insurrection
among their subjects? However I may have been
stigmatised, in their names, AS the modern Attila,
Robespierre on horseback; 4:c. they all knew better..at
the bottom of their hearts—let them look theie !
Had I been so, I might perhaps still hese feigned;
but they most certainly woeldhave long since ceased l
to reign. In the great cause of which I. saw ipiyself
the chief and the arbitrator, one of the tkii,eysteois:
was to be followed—to make Kings lipten to reason
fromthe People ; or to conduct People to heppiness
by means of their Kings. But it is well known to be
no easy matter tb check the People when they are
once set on: it was more rational to reckon a little
upon the wisdom and intelligence of Rule's. I had
a right always to suppose them possessed of sufficient
intellect to see such obvious interests: I was deceived;
they never calctilated at all ; and, intheir blind fury,
they let loose against me that which I withheld wheal
opposed to them. They will see!!
" Lastly, did the Sovereigns take umbrage at see-
ing a mere soldier attain a crown ? Did they fear
the example? The solemnities, the circumstances'
that accompanied my elevation, my eagerness to
conform to their habits, to identify myself with their
existence, to become allied to them by blood and by
policy, closed the door sufficiently against new
corners. Besides, if Ahem muss needs have been the
spectacle of an interrupted legitimacy, I maintain
i that it was much more to their interest that it should
take place in my person, one risen from the ranks,
gaol° that of a Prince, one of their. own family;

or rather in confidence. in the. French, because many
of them no longer placed any in me, and it was doing
me a great wrong. If narrow and vulgar minds
only saw, in all my efforts, the care of !by own
power, ought not those of greater scope to have
Amen, that, under the. circumstances in which we
%vete placed, my power and the country were but.
one? Did it require such great and incurable mit-•
`chiefs to enable them to comprehend me? History.'
will do me more justice: :it *al signalize me as the,
wan of self-denials and disinterestedness.
"Tow ihat temptations was I not exposed in the arnitl:
of Italy; England offered me the Crown of France
the tit* of the treaty, of Amiens. I refused peace's-
Chatillon: I disdained all personal stipulations
Waterloo; and why ? because all this bad no teftit-'
ence to my country, and I had, np ambition distinct
from her's—that of her glory, her ascendancy, her
majesty. And there is khe reason that, iii spite of so
many calamities, I remain so popplar among the:
French. It is a sort of instinct of after-justice on
their part.
" Who in the world trier. had greater treasure at
'his disposal? I have hid many hundred millions in
my vaults ; many other hundreds Composed my Wo-
Inane de l'extraoi-dienire'; all these were my iown.
What is become of them ? They were poured out
in the distresses of the country. Let thittn tOntrm-
plate me here t I remelt -destitute upon rpg rock.—
My fortune was wholly in that of France.
" In the extraordinary situation to v.!hich fate had
raised me, my treasures were herts ; I had identified
myself completely with her destinies. Whit other
calculation was consistent with the height I had risen
to? Was I Ayer seep occupied about my•personal
interests? I never knew any other enjoyment,. any
other riches, than those of the Public. • So much so,
that when Josephine, who had a taste for the Arts,
succeeded, under my name, in acquiring some master-
pieces, though they were in my palace, under my eye,
in my family apartments, they offended me ; and I
thought myself robbed.; thss vere aril in the Museum.
" Ah ! the Fretich people undoubtedly did much for
me ; more than was ever done before for man! But,
at the same time, who ever did so much for them ?
Who ever identified himself so much with them. in
the same manner? But to rewire ; after all, what
could be their feari? Were npt the chambers and
the .13SW Constitution suilicjeht guarantiel for the
'future? Those additional Acti, against which so
much indignation was expressed, did they not carry
in • themselves their own corrective—remedies that
were infallible? How could I have violated them?
I had not myself millions of arms: I was but a man.
Public opinion raised me up once more: public opi.•
rjon might equally put in down again ; and, corn-
pared with this risk, what had I to gain?
" But as' to surrounding States it speak parlico,
lady as regards England), what could be her Aclir*.
her motives, her jealousies? We inquire in vain,--+
With our nevi Constitution, our two Chambers, hatll
we not adopted her creed for the future? • Was not

shore himself, found the illustrious unfortunate iu

Cardinal hesitated not to throw himself on his
generosity. He was accommodated with a part of the
Captain's cabin, and proper apparel, suitable to his
dignity, furnished him. He remained on board seven
weeks, during which period the ship was thrice eft:
gaged in action. The Cardinal walked the deck with
.Capt. Nelson quite undismayed, amidst a scene of car-

As soon as convenient Capt. Nelson landed him in the
Austrian territories, forcing upon him 1001. to defray'

The LORD CRIER JUSTICE lately gave the follotai-

Bench t—g, That a person having a counting-house
'in a borough town and city for transacting businefrs,
and to which he was in the habit of resorting daily,
is a householder of that hgrough, town, or city ; and
that a person having a warehouse, br, any house hi
which he carried oh business, or warehoused goodt,
and in which his servant slept, is a householder of
the town, city, or county, in which• such warehouse
is bitoated; and that a person having a house in his
occupation, for which he paid the poor-rates; &c.
was a householder; although the re-idence of their
families might not he situated within such• *a`-etty,
