exhibiting BoNAPARTE as the Hero, to whoin Fate
had entrusted the destinies of the woad, has been
more conducive to his conquests than all his con-
scripts ; but how often of late has the rep* ootnaiPl

Fully aware of the advantages which must in-

,result to t' t common cause, from the rapid.
diffusion of the modest and unadorned truth, in oppo-
sition to the blasphemous and verbose falsehoods
which disgrace the French Bulletins, the Cnovra
?tune has directed that a printing press shall form
part of his campaign equipage, and he has summoned
around him KoriERUE and SHLEOEL to keep the esta-
blihment in full activity.
With the character and writings of KoTZEBUI our
Readers must be already acquainted—but Sanator.t
has just made his skdat as a political writer, and his
Biography is not generally known—it is, nevertheless,
curious and interesting. .
AuGllsTus WILLIAM SCHLEGEL, who now fills the
highly distinguisheduituation of Private Secretary to
the CROWN PRINci of Sweden, and who has been fre-
quently honoured with certain particular marks of
regard by BONAMATE, is by birth a Hanoverian,
and considers himself a lawful subject of the King of
ottEAT BRITAIN, as Elector Of Hanover. He has
enjoyed, for many years, a high reputation in Ger-
many as a literary character of the first eminence.
He is the translator into his native langtiage of the
most celebrated of Shakspeare's Dramas, and far cur.
passes, in fidelity and elegance of diction, any fa
reigner (and we speak from an intimate acquaintance
with several French and Italian translations) who has
made a similar auempt. He is, in short, au enthu-
ilastic admirer of our literature and national eha-
aacter; and has given many•decided proofs of his
sentiments in this respect. In the course of various
literary controversies with Continental Authors, be
tas uniformly impeached that species of servile adu-
lation towards Frenchmen and French literature,
which has so long opposed the progress of true sci;
ence, and kept down the principles of genuine liberty
in Germany—an adulation which has, perhaps, paved
the way for the political subserviency of which Eu-
rope has so long and so often experienced the melan-
choly effects. .
M. SCHLEGEL is also the translator of several tra-
gedies of Calderon, some minor poems.of Camoens,
and several sonnets of Petrarch. He is, besides, no
excellent German pbet : all the languages ofEurope,
the Sclavonic excepted, are familiar to him; and be is
esteemed one of the best classical scholars of the age.
If we are not mistaken, he is the author of a philologi-
cal work, which traces the affinity of the German and
Persian tongues,—Of his proficiency in the French I
language he gave a remarkable proof, in a pamphlet
published at Paris five years ago, and entitled, is A
Comparison between the Phedp. of Euripides and of
Racine." For this,production, to the eternal disgrace

Paris Journals to the 24th reached Town last
night, and there was a time when we would have '
commenced our attack upon them, by expressing our
surprise it their silence tespecing events of the first
magnitude to the vital interests of the French Em-
pire. On the :object of the Armistice the oracles
of Paris are as• mute as they have been respecting
Vittoria and the expulsion of SOULT from Spain...-.
Does BONAPARTE wait fni a victory—or does he in-
tend to keep up the hopes of a Continental Peace,
until lie has drained France at her last concript and
her last denier to enable him td assume an imposing ad-
vide, and acquire fresh /auras 3 If he waits to an-
nounce a victory, most fervently do we say-- •

is a glimmering of light—it would really seem as if
