FOX ANDNApOLEON.

The peace of Amiens opered France once more; and Fox, making pretext to himself of collectingauthorities on the history of the Stuarts, but more proba- biy with the common desire to see the changes wrought by the revolution, went to Paris.
 sslIe was received with extraordinary civilities by all ranks; but the chief fca- 2 ture of his visit, and the only one that can interest us now, was his intercourse with the First Consul.' It's difficult to know whether Napoleon formed just conception of Fox: but its evident that Fox formed, at least in the beginning, a curiously untrue one ofNapolcon. Jm- medatcIy on his appearance in the crowd at the Tuilleries, the First Con- sul"singled him out, and held a4narxed conversation with him. sThere are in the world,' said tisis dispeser of the fates of empires, sbut two nations, the one in- habiting the East, and the other the west. The English, French, Germans. Italians, 6sc. &c. under the same civil code, having the same manners, the same habits, and almost the same reli- zion, are all members of the same fam fly. The men who would wish to light up again the flame of war among them wish for civil war He concluded by a compliment to him, as the distinguished friend of peace.
 ssFox dined with him on the same day; and the conversation turned onth trial by jury, of which Napoleon could not bring himself to approvc--sit was so Gothic, cumbrous, and might be so inconvenient to governments Fox, with honest John Bullmis, told him. that the inconvenience was the yer, thing for which he liked it.
 z But, ,.starting as those military opin- ions of justice between man and man might be. poleonsueceeded in impress sing very high idea even of his heart: and if we are to rely upon reported con-. versations at the time, Fox declared thaf-Athe First Consul of France was as magnificent in his means as in his ends; that he possessed most decided characters and thathi views were not d- rected against Great Britain, but against the Continent ;thathis commercialenmi- ty was but temporary measure, and was never intended 10 be acted upon as d Apermanent policy; and that he had a proud tandor! which, in the confidence of success in whatever he resolved, Seorned to conceal its intentions ' never sax', said be, so little indirectncss

lin any statesman as in the I'..i=t Sor.ssls. |. He makes no secret of his designs
 s.The sparkling sentences aud oracu- lar maxims of Napoleon, the novelty ot the bulletin style, had evidently imposed on his good naturcd guest; and such. by universal acknowledgement, was his briliiancy and force in conversation, that the only hope of detecting the artiGee was in removing 10 distance from the deceiver. But Fox enjoyed an early and complete opportunity of reetifying his opinions of this most subtle of.men. He had scarcely entered the Whig cab met, when he found himself eni'lngled in mock negotiation; saw the negotia- ton dexterously protracted until all things were ripe for the ruin of Prussia, and then saw Napoleon and Talleyrand fly together from Paris 10 ruin, leaving his bewildered ambassador to be laugh ed at by Europe.
 Tox's death closed the era Q! pariia- mentary eloquence. Thefe have been able and animated speakers since; but there are few examples of that lofty and original mastery of the understanding and the passions which characterised tie public speaking of that distinguish ed time; while to the speeches of Fox, Pitt, Burke, and Sheridan, we will go for the study of the art, for the highest examples. Of the comparative powers of those remarkable men, the. general impression among their contemporaries was-that Fox stood n the foremost rank as debater. His capacity, his manner, and his language were parliamentary. in an exclusive and unequalled degree. Pitt and Burke must have been eminent in an assembly of any age or nation, where the human intellect was to be kii1dl,ed and charmed by power Of thought and language. 4 Greek or Roman audience would have listened to either with admiration, and owned the influence of their flow and grandeur; but Fox was made for England and pe- euiiarly for the Parliament of England.
