"The first circumstance which ar
rests the attention, in contemplating
France. is the real character OF Bona
parte and his policy, and the impression
taey have left on the nation. He has
been so long on the scene, however, that
he is Justly appreciated in America In
the pamphlets Of Pradt and Bauretl, |
send you the most interesting additional
information which has yet appeared Oh
this subject, and shall only observe
that the French try him by his own cri-
terion, success. Except among his ta.
vored praetorian guards, he eScites no
interest, and has left no regret behind
him but what is connected with the ge-
neral dislike Of the Boarbons.
The house Of Bourbon is divided a.
gainst Itself: suffice it to mention the
dukes D'Orieans and D'Angouleme. In
the character of the king himself, am
unable to discover any traits OF majesty,
except that he is royal eater, and has a
critical acquaintance with Virgil and Ho-
race.
After the personal greatness of TIE
king, the next important inquiry regards
his talents in selecting ministers Of dis
tinguished ability. But if we can be
lieve Baurell, and I am well assured he
deserves the utmost or{idence, his. first
ministers were rather of distinguished
imbecility. NJ. Bjacas, the Premier, was
furnished with such previous evidence
Of the conspiracy of Benaparte, that his
entire neglect of it betrays the hasest
folly undistinguishable from crime.
Nor does tie selection of the present
ministry serve to annul the irresistible
conclusion which is drawn from the hTst.
The duke de RickeIieu, in his introduc-
tory address to the Peers on the trial OF
Ney. in the violent animosity excited by
his mothod of ordaining the amnesty,
and the disgraceful disputes so long sui

catholics, force US to e1c!aim. Non tall
