l.
.agsncy of Proud 3 Four or
! FIRE months ago, when Bonaparte escap-
led from the Island of Elba, and through
THE treacaery ofhis former Generals, who
had sworn allegiance to the Rour-
|Bons, and aided by seduced military,
|he was again enabled to resume the Im-
|perial purple Of France, his Jacobin
lworshipers In the United States, in the
Iexuberance5 Of their joy, ascribed the
whole affair 81 his escape, &c. to s the
prote tang hand at heausn = The follow
ing paragraph is from an article which;
appeared in. the Boston Chronicle at
fthe time, and which was copied into
most of the jacobin prints:
8 The wonderful and almost ,niracu-
Ilous events which have taken place, to
rescue Napoleon from every disastrous
Esituation IN which his snemies had driy-
len him; urge us to repeat what we have
loften observed, that the protecting hand
iof Hearen IS peculiarly stretched oat for
Its detirernnce. There is no parallel
lin profane history wherein such an
Immediate interposition has been dis
played Of the agency Of Providence, IN
guarding him ii dangers, and enabling
him to triumph oyer the wiles and strata
!. gems Of his formidable and combined
opponents. :
/ Little did these good honest jacobins
ltaink, when they were thus wantonly
lreiying upon g tho protecting hand Of
Hearea,n for the preservation of their
lidol, that in less than four months from
1.-The appearance of the preceding effusion
of their paety, they would be called up-
lon to record the events which they have
fsince recorded--That the object OF their,
Iprofane worship, for whose safety (as
THEY say the agency Of Providence"
was 50 signaHy and Immediately iaterpo-s
Ised, has been given upto the ,bufeting
lof his enemies obliged g to seek an assy-
lam or the shores" Of that very enemy
Iwho has been the object of his great
lest spleen and the greatest source of
lall his calamities on the shores Of that
VERY England, which these jacahins
have SO repeatedly denominated the.
Is who're of Babylon! % Such morti6ca-
Ition is too great it is insuppertable! !
And were our jacobin editors capable
Iof decency IN prosperity, in adversely
they would receive some compassion for
their errors. But in the same article
from which the above paragraph is eS-
Itracted. there also appears the following
sentence.
We only make oye request, that
priests viii not pray my more for the
IJoicnjaH Of Napoteon, FOR if they do the
Lord only knows to what dignity he

land We do not believe that it is to be
wholly ascribed to the prayers of the
clergy neither. Great as the anticipa-
ltion of our jacobins may have been, it is
ia dignity that they little expected to
see. him once more a fugitive from

Letsus suppose that when the Bona
parte party declared war, they had said,
we do not propose to procure any thing
by it, but glory. What say you, fellow
citizens, to three years war, with all
Its blood-shed, taxation and horrors |;
will you consent; Ito go to war just for a
parcel of glory
We should have thought them mad !;
sss madden than the maddest Of March
hares.'' 1t would have been palpable
case Of most incontestibie lunacy.
Well, where's the difference We
went to war Patleast, SO we were pur-
sued for high and important objects
and We are promised important con-
quests, and substantial benefits. In the
end we getnothing butgglo,Y
And We are TO be satisfied with that;
we are to hug and SLAYER the good pa
triots, who scampered SO Justify at The
Bladensburg races, because forsooth,
Jackson and Brown procured some
glory
Let me State the matter little more
distinctly.
II our racers had proposed that We
should go to war, for glory--and glory
only should certainly have deemed
them mad.
Well, they have gone to war. They
do not pretend that any thing has been
procured but---glory
Now, say, that if it would have pro-
yed Them mad to have gone to war for
glory, and glory only, in the first IN
Stance: it would prove also that Ware
mad, in the last, il, we suffer ourselves to
be persuaded, that glory, and glory on
ly sufficiently composites US for the lives
we have lost and the debts and taxes We
have incurred.
Hany body had proposed that weshould
sell our peace, and all its blessings for
cloru.t we should have deemed it a NIL
SCRABBLE bargain. And be assured, fellow
citizens! a, miserable bargain we have
had of it.
Such linatic cabinet can only be
defended by such lunatic apologies, as
that which / have endeavored to rldi-
cne.
\ But this. the last miserable argument
of disgraced jacobifism, is itself sarage
abhorrent to social order. For ifattain-
ment Of glory be once acknowledged
sufficient compensation for the suffer-
ings Of war; tie toce Of glory will
by parity ofreason, be a sufficient cause
for going to war.
And after all what is Glory, Martial
Glory, but expertnessi in shedding human
blood the talent at destroying the human
species! ,
Allow that we have done much that
we have proved ourselves able to do
more of it: Will that obtain from
Christian People an appreciation OF the
unnecessary, and in every other respect
fruitless contention !?
Peace showers its blessings on all
Glory is obtainedby few, at the expense
of the suderiags of multitudes.

CURIOUS CALCULATIONS.

Louis XVIII. in his proclamation to the French
SAYS that al 100000 men are marching against
tne usurper."-Atthe average step OF soldier on
the march, one step of each makes 900 miles,
and VII wear out one pair of shoes; so that If
they march IS miles in one day, they will wear
ont 5000 pair of shoes; and the whole distance
travelled willos 30,0o0o00 sf miles, or equal 10
1900 times round the globe OF the earth at the
equator IF the whole 100000 were drawn u,
IN a single line, allowing two feet to each man,
