The power of NAPOLEON is gone, and
the deiverance of Europe is arrived
The rod of the oppressor is broken, and
his yoke has departed from the people
Ills violence has : stirred up the chief
ones OF the earth and raised up from their
thrones all the Kings of the nations a

proverb of the redeemed of old, and say
to their oppTessor;
" How art thou fallen from Heaven o
Luciier, Son of the Morning How art
thou cut down to the ground, srhica did
acedkeR the nations
For thou hast said in thine heart, |
will exalt my throne above the Stars OF
God: will sit upon the mount of the
congregation in the sides of the North.
will ascend above the heights of the
clouds: | will be like the most high.
Yet thou shalt be brought down to
He'll; to the sides of the Pit"
They that see thee, shall narrowly look
upon thee, saying-Is this the man that
made the Earth to tremUe, that did shake

wilderness, and deStroysdthe Cities there

sour city has been considerably agitated
during the last week, by the refusal of the
militia particularly if not exclusively the
Frenchl to stand draft for call made by
the governor, at the request of gen. Flour
ney, for 1000 men. They say they will de-
fend the city if attacked or if the enemy
should happen to get as near the town as
English Turn, they may possibly turn out !;
but they will not place themselves under
the command of u States officers. So
much for our French Democrats. And
these are the men that have been the pride
and boast of the governor. 1t is supposed
that the governor, being fond OF quiet life,
and not willing to irritate his friends, will
revoke the general order
