fears Of those misguided Americans, to
whom there has been already some allus;-
on, the writer Of this thinks proper to say,
Saat EcTe arc mary other arguments which
fully satisfy his mind, that Napoleon has no
other designs towards the United States,
Gsn those which may be dictated by Just
and honorable policy. No man ever had so
far an opportunity to procure the blessings
OF his contemporaries, and the plaudits OF iu-
tire ages. Already he has done enough to
perpetuate his political and military fame,
to the latest ages of pGsterity; already he
is universally admitted to be The saviour Of
Fence, and the Paciiicator the Continent
Of Europe; and nothing is necessary 10
ccmpleat the greatness of his character,
but to add 20 it, that lie is the BENEFAcToR
or MANKIND.
Mitch indeed, has he done to entitle him
to this distinguished appe,l ation Every
thing which has been fully developed, slicws,
that he aspires to that exalted character.
Soon after he was appointed first consul,
his declaration to the French nation, and to
all the world, gave an Indication of his fti.
turc Intentions. In this address, ar,ong O.
Their things, which were suitable to his sta
ton and Character, the following deserves
particular notice.
sAIcady have the armies assumed the
imposing attitude which is the constant
.prcsage ofv:ctcry, and if some powers are
.desirous of trying the fortune of war, the
first consul who has already promised
speace, is about to conquer it, az the head
sof those warriors whom lie has conducted
smore than once to victory. But in the
smidst Of battle he will still invoke the OBJ
sjcct cf his wishes and in the meantime,
ssolemniy engages to contend alone, for
tthe repose of France, and the happiness
tof the world
Altho' Napoleon has been perpetually
disturbed by military coalitions, by perfidi-
GUS cabinets, and by plots of assassination,
it is well established that he has uniformly
regulated his own conduct by these promis-
es. The repose of France he has obtained
in the arms of victory; and there wants
nothing to make his public character COM
pieat, but to shew that his future objects
are calculated to promote the reposc and
happiness Of the world.
