10 prove him cne. According 10 Tie tcsl
authorities we have consulted, on u :, per
means one who has forcibly possessed lin
self Of The rights of another. Thus il must
be proved that The Bourbon family had right
TO the throne Of France, and that Napoleon
forcbly wrcs;ed from them that right. We
know that 10 many,these positions requires no
proof, appearing as they do, TO be established
beyond controversy but nothing, in reality,
is further from the truth. in The first place
let il be asked wha, ,fghr had The BouIbons
10 the Throne of France Had not the
French nation expelled them and chosen O.
ther rulers in their stead And how came
that family to be again re-ins;ated in author
iiy ?Was II by the choice ofibe French peo-
pie that Napoleon ives sent 10 Elba, and
Louis XVIII brought 10 rule over them ?
No such thing. This change was wrought
by the combined efforts Of Europe, in the
contempt Of the sentiments and wishes Of the
French nation, whose resistance 10 The over
welmiDg torrent was no longer availing.
Napoleon was the choice of The French peo-
pie, as subsequent events have proved nc
ycrtheless he was forced from the throne, and
Louis forced (nothing loth) on it, The righ.
to the throne Of France which Napoleon pos
sessed in virtue of the consent of his subjects,
was thus forSibly taken f. ON him. THIS was
usurpatiop, or else the import of the word
has been strangely mistaken. ---- But when
the French people found it convenient to re-
instate the man of their choice when thew
received their Emperor with open arms, and
followed him with shouts and atclamalions
to the Capitol when the King abandoned his
throne and fed in dsmay and his successor
seated himself quietly on without a breath os
resistance--where is the semblance of usur.
patton But these writer's and their employ
ers, while they hold up Bonaparte as an asur-
per in becoming terms of horror and detes,a-
tiop, do not in reality hate him more than
they abhor the whole French nation, which
has set an example to the world that mus.
sponer or later give dea,h.bow to the de-
mnion OF Kings, and put an end TO the reign
| OF prejudice and superstition.

Fnyfdad, the great maniger on the Euro

who seems capable of thwarting their
schemes; while The fear Of opposition az
home, has retained them from declaring
their Intentions, ill some act of oggressioo on
the part OF BoDaparte, or some other plausi-
bic pretence presents, for what the English
nation must consider wanton, unnecessary
and unjust interference in the internal con-
germs OF France. And Bonaparte seems de-
termlned 10 afford thom no pretence of this
kind. The ministers were called upon an
both houses Of Parliament about the 18th A.
pril TO dsclare, whether any commune atoms
had been received from Bonaparte. In the
House OF Lords, Lord Liverpool replied in
affirmative, and that they had been forwarded
TO Vienna, without being answered. In the
.housc OF commons, "a similar reply was
given by Lord Castlereagh. On being asked
whether it was determined TO wait an answer
from Vienna before any aggressive act was
committed against France, his Lordship
declined aswering the question. 1t is prety
evident that the war against France at this
time will not be popular in England. In the
mean time, however, the most active prepar-
a'ions are going on. Troops, aims, and am
unition are constantly embarked for Flanders.

Smith are actively employed in inspecting
