NAPOLEON.

No man ever enjoyed such popularity AZ In,
distinguished Warrior whose name heads hi. A..
ticle. We are absolutely astonished. at re,d;,,
the foreign journals Of the present day, to find
how strong hold his memory. even yet, retain,
upon the feelings Of the French and othe, ~,
tiuns;-it would almost seem as II they did M,
believe that his remain. lie buried amons,, ii.
rocks of St Helena. but look to see him ,,,n
in their midst. marshaling his hosts to battle.
conquering cities and PeopIe-givins laws to en-.
pres, and making Paris the Capital Of the Who'll.
world. The shouts that swelIed the gale Of hi
triumphs in his most triumphant days, have 10.
vet subsded-they are raised anew at ever f,.
and ceremony to which custom or law or pouu,,
impulse gives origin. The exalted opinion That
was entertained Of his valor. his proves, hn
wisdom. his energy, has not been lessen.d-i,
is still expressed wherever aud whenever 4,
opportunity is given for its exhibition Viii
Frenchmen. and in France, it is st,ll Napol.oa!
-Napoleon! The dead Emperor is more Re.
sarded than the living King; his name alone car.
ries with it a power. superior to any physical
force which could be arrayed against its folo..
ers. Strange consistency. in tickle and iueoa.
slant nation! Other Generals and other States,
men have gained the affections OF their country;
but this, when death closed their career, Va
succeeded by indifference, or settled into solid
esteem. Napoeon's fame carries with it Tie
high wrought enthusiasm Of millions, who think
and speak of him no less than il he were nov, ia
the pIenitude Of power, welding the desliuies
Europe.
Such are the effects Of military glory upon h.
minds of those apt to be excited BY the glare Of
pomp and victory. And that they are not evan.
escent, but dazzle with their brightness whilst
the eye is directed towards them, we see 10 h,
case before US. The greatness Of the Father
even threw hale around the Son. and the sOlits!
student at the Austrian Court was invested B!
fancy and imagination with all the attributes Of
the Hero! Had not popular feeling ran in dr
channel, we cannot aay what strange and unn'
tural course it might not have taken.
All the names Of the towns, provinces H.
ands and seas 10 Greece, are to be changed bast
to those they possessed in the days OF their 40
Gent renown.
