pendence in their natite mountains; Ind the natives
of the South are insensible to such feelings ; yet des-
potism may extend her influence from the coasts of
Zealand to the remotest extremity of Calabria, but
liberty and the kll'PA !edge of the rights and chart&
ter of man, have fixed their abode in the North."

The Courier, in like manner, formerly advocated
the French Revolution and the cause of liberty ; but
he has pretended to discover i►► the former all the
elements of that anarchy which has shaken the social
edifice of Europe to its centre, and in the latter he
st•es *waling but licentiousness end democracy. The
Courier has likewise his theory of circumstantial
morality, his tactical system of ambushes and slur-
prises, his dexterous harlequinades, his conjuring
hocus pocus juggles, and his astonishing dancing
upon the slack rope.

After attempting to show the most prominent points
of resemblance in these two remarkable characters,
we uitt now speak to their dissonance: BEHNA
DOM) we believe, has never been ambitious of
shining in the dz.-elsle capacity of a man of war and
a man of letters ; bot the Courier has swelled himself
into the fancied ability of a •General as well as a
ritf,r ; he has not only brought the Allies, contrary
to the Cypress tetioir oi their Frankfort Declaration,
:trims the Rhine ; but he has, pelletal out the very
time they ought to have declared for the Rovitaoss,
and when the Cossacks should have paid their visit to
Paris, in order to return the French the compliment
ofikeir visit to Moscow, and to show the Parisianra
specimen of Muscovy fire-works ; he has imputed
the failure of their visit to the want of sufficient
frankness and politeness in the Allies, who ought to
Lave sent a messenger before hand, acquainting the
French, that,they came to restore to them their tang-
iest Monareh, Louts XVIII., and to send NA-
POLEON to the D-1 ; he throws blame likewise upon ,
their taCtiti., for dividing their forces after having ,
once formed .a joaction. BULINADOITE has Dever I
been so anzioos for the march to. Paris; or, at all
events, he has eery prudently end modestly ab-
stained from an enterprise of soMitch peril, in which
be might have met the fatb or btonatr, or a eapti. ,
vity 'still more shameful among his former coatitey-
owl : lie is now, :as be was at the tommencement of
the coalition, always on the toad, but ever a day's'
march behind. On the contrary, the Courier is dar7.
ingln plan and lathing in execution ; like the mad
Swede, he rests neither day ner night, knocks up all ,
I.is horses, and putting his saddle and bridle upon
his back, travels on towards the object of all his

nishes, supplying bis necessities out of the first stud
of horses he meets with by the road side. Whip and
spur, hedge and ditch, neck or nothing, Paris must
be taken, plundered, and destrtyed. If there is
a.ly material difference in the views of these two me. I
dery heroes, they appear to be both equally zealous "
in the common cause. animated by the nmelorrour-
Ole motives, and mindful of the same dear self-
itsteresii.

We are not aware that CHARLES JEAN takes any
infertst in the fate of his brother Cornier, but the
latter has et idently a tender concern in the fame and
fortune of his brother BERNADOTTE, as will be seen by
the following passages, extracted from the Courier
of Saturday last :—" There is an Address from the
Cnown PutNcE before he left Hanover, in a very
different style and tone from that mawkish one from
Cologne, which we published yesterday. This is
the true way in which the Corsican should he spoken
of: these are the colours in which he should be de-
pleted. Dirt ft has shocked the delicate
.nerves of
the Party : they cannot believe that it is, ge-
oeine.—lt is I so direct a personal attack upon Ba-
ll:MUM" and expressed too is the strongest lan-
page, that we must consider it a fabrication, as we
cannot believe his Royal Higheees would have so ex.
pressed himself in a public document.' Bless us! how
fearful of giving offence to the Tyrant. He must be
spoken of in smooth, soft language, ' in holiday and
lady terms,' lest.perehance be should take offence."
The sagacity of the Courier wilt, 'no doubt, he ap-
parent to the IdinireWef that Journal, by t'eading
the following paragraph in the Ivry same Paper, pub-
ii:htd by atitharity,,for the purpose of contradicting
Ole former declaration in favour of CHARLES JEAN,
who, it berms, has more respect for the " Tyrant"
therc.the immaculate Courier, whose future lacubra.
tiowsnrobld be readily sold to the highest bidder :
We are requested to state that the Proclamation,
inietted in all the Morning Papers of this day, and
in oar owl's, from the Thtich Papers, attributed to
the Cuowm PallscE. is a fabrication ; no other
having been addreissed to the French by his Royal
Highness than the one we publighed yesterday, dated
from Cologne, Feb. 12, 1814."

We have received some further Extracts this morn.
ing from the Bremen Papers, which contain a report
from Dusseldorf, of the surrender of Antwerp, but
which is evidently erroneous :
Bausscr.s, FEB. 16.—This day, 5000 choice cavalry
filed before his Serene Highness the Duke of Saxe.,
'eirnar, and marched on to Halle. In the after-
1, MOO more men of Saxon infantry arrived here.
Generals Below, Boyer], Oppen, and Silitisky,
re left our city, and followed the army to France.
A number of women arrived here to.day, in wag.
rns from Antwerp, they assure us that the Corn.
:ndant of that fortress forces all the Burghers to
take LT arms.
_ A great quantity of besieging artillery is arrived
Lefore Antwerp from the frontiers of Holland.
