We have once or twice spoken Of the mad
policy of Castlereagh at the conclusion OF the
continental war, and of his vulgar and barba.
rous treatment of Napoleon. The following
are extracts on these subjects from new work
called Napoleon in the other world" "a Per-
Torrance, saysthe New Monthly, "very ably
executed and entertaining" Napoleon is made
to say to Castlereagh:-
Napoleon walking in Hyde Park, or in the
streets of London, would not have been an OBJ
iect of little interest for the honour of England.
Not man with the smallest portion of judg
meut, could have refrained from feeling Of
enthusiasm when he saw the subject Of Great
Britain on the Contnent:What an overpowering
influence YOU would have obtained over public
opinions! Then you could have justly said, that
you ware masters both by sea and land. The
sovereigns seized with fear, would have eager.
ly yielded to all your wishes; you would
have dictated laws to all the cabinet OF Europe
every port;would have been open to you; your
commerce would have become unbounded; you
would have considered my person as a pre-
cious SALESMAN of which you were the sole
possessor Thus, by humbling an enemy whose
power was hated you would have skillfully re-
duced him to become the instrument OF your
own aggrandizement.
This would have been revenge. If Pitt had
lived, this prospect would not have escaped his
profound sagacity but he would have adopted
a very different system. Instead OF that what
have you gained? Ssrhe Indignation of my nu-
merous partizans; the contemptuous ridicule
of the sovereigns who duped you, and the title
of Head Jailor to the Holy Alliance! AS for
what concerns me individually, disdain to
speak of it; my actual destiny fortunately plac-
es me far above such melancholy subjects
have suffered, it is true; it is nothing more than
a dream; but such is not the case when think
of the frightlul traces your system has lett upon
the earth Like the destroying anger,
you have spared nothing; not even your own
country. Italy has been delivered up to the ra'
pacity of Austria, Genoa sacrificed to the con
iemptible tyranny of the aristocracy OF Pied
mont Belgium was awxwardly unit
ed with Holland; France divided into thou
sand factions, and the slaves OF the Jesuits; Prus'
STA signing after constitution 1t Will never OBJ
tain; Poland subject to her prosecutor tor ages,
memorable and unprincipled Russia: SPAN
torn by anarchy and misery; and RUSSIA ready
to swallow every thing up; while England Is
nowerles. spectator Of whatever it pleases the
tvrants ofEurope to attempt against the happi-
ness of nations
The negligence you displayed in watching o.
yer the interests of your own country, at the
time of the general peace, has Justly procured
YOU The hatred of your countrymen. England
had right to a large indemnity tor the enor'
nous expenses she had supported; by this
means she might have removed from her the
immense burthen by which she is weighed
down, and of which she perhaps feels at this
moment the fatal consequences.

"Mr. Clay certainly did not consult his 'nie'''',
when he accepted the Office OF Secretary o,

among the accumulation, were his advisers
% the course which Mr. Clay took in accepting

Tbi, fact can be well established, and doubt
less will, as soon as General Jackson attempts

is there at the present time, on the part &c
the English. In addition to these. th,rn
are usually one or more men ot.war station.

examining any vessels under any far II
cases OF suspicion. In January last, a French
vessel appeared off the Moro. and made III,

many OF her citizens are engaged in it. The

Of these vessels, are from our northern ci-

are secretly plunderng Africa to crafty
their avarice. The temptation, to be sure is
great. A slave can be bought in Africa at
about $40, and when he touches the shores
OF Cuba is worth from 400 to $500. Great
caution is of course necessary in this pro-

all articles resurtcd to which the occasion

assertions founded on any thing less than ev-

She landed them before coming to port but

numerous, and their Kindness was at her
command. She then declined to avail her
self of an unlimited offer of services from
