4 The principles of VI. Maret, are said
TO be monarchica in u limited sense, but
under Napoleon no such limitation could
/. have entered his thoughts, nor been
/ persevored in, if they already existed
there. He is not the man likely, there

=, spect TO his present masicr--a man, by
the way, moi less despotic, au fond, than
his former one. la another respect, I
fear he will be found not very accep-

the parent of the Berlin and Milan de-

II eXiled after "tho hundred days" and
