TO THE EDITOR OF THE STATFSMA,N.

Gilt.—The illustration of the above notable adage
has miter been more conspicuously exemplified than in
the Lite astonishing, and to many people horrifying,
return of BOY APIRTE to power and command.
Our sapient Ministry (poor fellows !) have been
abused for a want of due caution ; while, on the con-
trol.; , they merit our deepest commiseration and pity
for having lost the game after exertiog their whole
finesse.

The facts in this extraordinary business are simply
the following :—After BONAPARTE'S return from the
dreadful battle of Leipsic, he found his ranks so
thinned, and his resources so cramped, that to con-
tinue the contest was almost impossible; therefore
he says to his Marshals, we must finesse; I shall
easily jockey those shallow diplomatists by a feigned
abdication, choose my own place of residence fur an
easy return to power, and in the mean time retain
the title which I shall so soon resume with redoubled
splendour: be it your care in the interim so to ar-
range and influence the army, that my re-entrance
into France may meet with no opposition, and for
the present avow yourselves Royalists. All this was
performed to the very letter ; and, on the other
hand, those deep-thinking crowned flees, our
puissant Allies, having found BONY such a trouble-
some customer, eagerly jumped at his proposals;
matters were instantly arranged, and the weak and
ignorant branded BONAPARTE with the epithets of
coward and fool !

A little reflection, however, goon convinced the
wiseacres, that with all BONY'S moderation he had
fixed upon a very suspicious situation for his little
empire; they began to suspect the trifling possibility
that this arch Emperor might take it into his fancy to
add the neighbouring territory of France to his Em-
pire of Elba—hut what could be done? they saw
themselves outwitted, but to break the Treaty.
with bins• so soon would be reprobated by all
the world. Some plausible pretence must be found
out for his further transportation : BONY, aware
of their intentions, was obliged to hasten his
own scheme, which otherwise was not intended to
have been put in execution till the conclusion of the
Congress. and final return of all the allied troops.
His measures were soon discovered and communicated
to Lord CAMEREAGN, who, 'n an extasy of joy,
ran to the Congress with open mouth—now, Gen-
tletnea, we have him; Bowe is plottiog an escape
let us wink at it, allow him with his grand army of
500 men only to touch foreign ground, and then we
shall seize the scoundrel either to bang him or send
him to St. Helena. A general chuckle instantly per-
vaded the wise and mighty Congress, thanks to Provi-
arnat-sre-ssrasow totally ißreinewesery is-crardispusta-,
a bumper was filled to his speedy debarkation, and
council was held upon his (attire destiny. Orders
were sent to Colonel CAXPEELL to wink at the pre.
parations, and when he saw them nearly finished,t o
take a trip for some days to Leghorn, that no inter-
ruption might be offered to the embarkation. Every
thing succeeded to their wish, and BONY, with his
little troop, set his foot on the sacred territory.
