who revere NAPOLEON most, indeed,
rejoice when they perc.ive that, with et sv.periority
which Providence has given to very few mind 4, even
of the first order,- he rises shove all trials which his
enemies tan invent for him, invincible and severe,
and ppeake with the same 11)64, the same genius and
range of intellect, the sanle self.conimand and as.
cendance over the hearts and feelings of others with
which he has been so long accustomed to tight.

Another great consolation there is in this, that
colonel Sir U. BCNtURT having heard his eloquent,
temperate, and persuasive slatersofit of his reasons
against the treatment which he has already received,
and that which has been announced to him, will re-
poll accordingly to those who are constitutionally
responsible.

And further, ita: he will not be deprived of the
grwirl% of all his faithful and brave friends ; and that
it is not in human power to deprive him of the pecu-
liar resources of his own great mind.

To you and "to me it will also be a consolation,
'and to some highly.distinguished persons in each
'ouse, and to many respectable persons not of Par-
liament, that they have not contemplated this illus-
trious sufferer with hostile prejudice or unworthy
indifference: that. they have turned their attention,
and coutributed to turn that of the public to this
prof, ,ingular, and unexpected question. And to
that part of the people of England, small as the por-
tioo is, which, through difficulties and dangers of all
kiwis, has obtained a sight of him, it is honourable,
bOth to them and to him, that so far the just senti-
ments and generous feelings of the nation have not
bPon disgraced; notwithstanding the delusions and
imitating misrepresentations which have been unre-
witii.gly kept up for so many years.

In a constautional, a patriotic, and a philanthro-
pic ►sew: , some good has bee►► effected ; more perhaps
than ass likely when the time was es short and the
obstacles se 'treat, and unlite mitigation of enormous
evil has probably been ohtained.._A deep and awful
cloud hangs over the future results of this proceeding
of Mi►►istry ; so little worthy of the nation, and of
its circumstances, with the conduct of whose in.
terests they are entrusted. If Minister• perki-t, and,
if the Ex-Emperor be sent tilt long and dreary
voyage to that small and desolate island, " a strange
cage for such a bird," it cannot fail to be the sub.
ject (however little hope from a Parliament so con.
canted there may be) of parliamentary enquiry.—
There are great and highly-informed, and generous
minds, in both Mouses, who will make it so.
And, whatever be at present, Ile, under whose
omniscient, omnipotent, and infinitely beneficent
dominion are the hearts, actions, and events of all
beings throughout the universe...all causes and all
effects, will turn this also to final good.
I have read Mr. Cogswell, article in yaw Paper
On NAPOLEON, With attet►tioa. I cannot peeceive,
considering the wealth, character, and manners
of the French nation, that a Re/nab/keit Go.
raiment could succeed in France. MI the talents
and virtues of the Brissotine party attempted it in
vain, under far more favourable circunestanege.--
Narotron was progressively extending aad strength-
ening the freedom and securities against his own or
any individual power of the French CONSTITUTION.
I agree, however, wholly with Mr. CORNETT in this,
that not only " his fate trill excite a greater interest
than any former event in the history of nations; bid
that, whether to exile or to death, he will be followed
(for there can at least be exceedingly few, if any,
exceptions) by the admiration and gratitude of every
free 'loan in every nation in the world."

I certainly understand Bow Awn not In have
spoken of the British Goreikinent, but of the BRI.
Tim NATION, as the most generous of his enemies;
and it goes bard with us if we Are not.
I am, Sir, yours most truly,
CAP! I. WITT.
