This evil is our greatest danger. It was this thirst
for money which destroyed the invincible legions of

consequence to this nation. Its strength and resist-

has excited their utmost disgust.

to state the capture of the Alban cutter, in the Baltic,

Count Rosen. one of 'the Nobles who composed the.
Deputation sear by the Diet to announce to the Em.
peror Napoleon, and the Prince of Ponte•Corvo, that
'the choice of Crown Prince had unanimously fallen
on the latter, returned here yesterday. We are as.
sured that the Deputation was received iii a most
distinguished manner by both of these illustrious per.
sonages, and that the Emperor Napoleon not only
expressed his perfect assent to the Prince's acceptance
of the digni.y offered him, but has written a letter of
felicitation to his Majesty on this happy event.
The Prince has also addressed a letter to his Mi•
jesty on the same occasion. '
His Royal Highness would, it was said, leave
Paris fourteen days after Count Rosen. The departure
