4, a great kingdom effaced from the mip of •Eu-
ror fp. I haws. seen England lose in eight years
half N.nth America, after possessiee it for more th,n,
a century. I have seen her, verifying the sentiment
. of an apcient (that the empire of the sea gives th it of
the land). take the Cape of Good Hope, and the i
Island of Ceylon front the Dutch; Malta, Egypt, and
several colonies from the French. I have seen bee
dictate the law to the King of Denmark, at. Copera!!l
hagen, and carry her victerious aims into 'Alto
. most remote parts of the world. I° have mill this
, same England in 1780, resist the combfried efforts.of
Europe, of Americi, and of the Northern Powers;
• who formed an armed neutrality against her maritime .
dominion ; T have seen her in the revolutionary wer,
often destitute of allies, and alone opposing the enor-
., aeons power of Fraace, of Italy, of Denmark. and
of Russia (g). I have seal the son of an English
Gentleman go out to India, as writer to a mercantile
• company, (nit quitting this service when very
roung; to embrace the military life), afterwards rising
to the he -d of:the army—dethrone a powerful Prince
in the East, place another on his throne, conquer
• a 'past of liindoostan, and raise the British domi-
nion in that quarter to the pre-eminence which it
, . now enjoys .0). l'heve seen what has no example in
- history, a hale Corsican Gentleman conquer Italy ;
force the Emperor of Germany to make a disgraceful
peace (i) ; take Malta in two days ; Egypt in a
month ; return from thence, and ph*e himself on the
• throne of the Baurlems ; and all 'rfi less than font
• years (from May, 1793, to November, 1799). I have
seen him transpert his army 'and his artillery in the-
midst of winter over the most difficult part of the
Alps, and in a single battle (4) decide at once the fate
of Gernfany, and of Italy. I have seen this same
Corsican Gentleman order the Pope to Paris in 1804,
to crow n him Emperor of the French, and afterwards
. depose this same Pope, and deprive him of the tempo-
ral possessions which his ancestors had enjoyed for
more than a thousand years (1). I have seen him de- I
tlare himself King of Italy. I.have seen him, having a
finihidable league which was directed against him,
enateh.toV ienna, and even into Hungary, in six weeks;
give the law three times to the Emperor of Germany
(et), compel him to abdicate thelmperial Crown of the
Ca Ars, 'deprive him of a part of his dominions, force
- the Emperor of Russia twice to retire (n), and soon
after oblige him to march to his assistance against the
Emperor hi Austria. I have seen him destroy the
Tower of the Ki ng of Prussia in
.1.5 dap, and strike
all Europe with dismay. I hase seen him dethrone
five Kings (o), and create eight others (p), annex
Hallend to Frairce(g), dictate to Spain, as ilk were
. one of his .provinces, employ her fortes as his own,
and at last take possession of the whole kingdom. In
. short, I. have seep him extend his dominen farther
. than that of Charlemagne,and find nothing that could
resist his ambition, but the. King -Ot Great„Britain
sometimes alone against the whole host of European
power„ and sometimes with the troops of the Conti'•
sent in his pay."

. the funeral pr.ices-ion of a persona§reepectablity was
rpassing to the burial griteed el Sheteilitch, when the
• hearse was stopped by a number of Sheriffs' efficers,
one of whom presented a writ for eighty pounds, at
the suit of a person with whom the deceased had deal-
ings. The officers took the body cut of the coffin,
then placed it is a shell which they had brought with
them in a cart, and in this vehicle conveyed it away.
An instance of desperation n a excelled by ad'y en
record, lately occurred on the Continent. Two fami-
lies, named Jovich, who bad, for upwards of twenty
• years, established themselves upon the nearly inacces-
,'sible mountain of Deligrad, situated between Dalma-
tia and Croatia, from whence they laid all the adja-
. sent country under crntribption, were surrounded in
• their retreat by a body of French troops. Despairing
of effecting their escape, and learning, in a conference
with the French officer, that an ignominious death I
awaited them, they assembled their_ wives and chil-
• dren in two buildings, 1114 condemned them to the
flames, with their most valuable effects. They after-
awards threw theMselves from the highest point of the
Mountain, but did not meet that death which they
111511Tted. Nearly three hundred souls perished in the
conflagration, and many of the survivors were dread-
fully burnt.
The report of the man having been taken arho shot
the Cheltenham turnpike-keeper is unfounded; a per-
son was apprehended in Whishwood Forest on suspi-
deer hot was discharged.
