of The Emperor Napolean at St Helena.
Speaking on the subject of crimes the empe.

from its simplicity, has been more beneficial to
France than the whole mass of laws which Pre-

our neighbors in England, they have been in

Look at the United States, where, without
any apparent force or effort. every thing goes
on prosperously; every one is happy and conten-

interest are in fact the ruling power. Place the
same government at variance with the will and
interests OF its Inhabitants, and you would soon
see what disturbances, trouble and confusion,
and above all what an Increase Of crime would
eDsue.
