“The cormnon danger and public
enthusiasm had forced every party to
join for the moment. Security divid
ed them. Wherever there is not an
, incontesiiblo centre of power, men
will be found who will hope to iodine
it towards themselves. It is what
happened to my litne. My authority
was only* that of a temporary magis
tracy; it was therefore not unaltera
ble. Whoever had vanity, and believ
ed himself possessed oftalent, began a
campaign against me. The tribune
became the citadel whence they 'com
menced their at tack, under the name
of the executive power.
“If 1 had yielded to their declama
tions, it iiad been all over with the
state. It had too many enemies to
venture to divide its forces,or to lose
time in words. The recent trial was
a tolerable rude proof, but it was not
sufficient to silence those who will al
ways prefer the interest of their pri -
vate vanity, to-that of their country.
They resisted the taxes, abused the
government, hampered its proceed
ings, and kept baok the recruits fur
the army, in hopes of gaining popu
larity.
“Had this continued we should have
fallen a prey to the enemy in fifteen
days. We were not yet strong en
ough to hazard it. My power was too
new te be invulnerable. The con
sulate would have faded like the di-
I rectory, if I had not destroyed the
opposition by a stroke of policy, I
deposed of the factious tribunes.—
The world of Paris called this to
eliminate* them; this term became a
bon mot.
“This trifling event, wlrieh is now
forgotten, changed the constitution of
Fiance, both,infernally and with re
gard to Europe. The enemies of the ’
revolution, both within and without,
were too violent not to force her to
adopt the form of a dictatorship, as
every other republic has done in mo
ments of danger. Balanced power
can only answer in peaceful times.—
For this reason my power was increa
sed every time if appeared * n danger*
in order 4,0 prevent a relapse.
“I should, perhaps, have done bet
ter* had 1 frankly insisted on the di>c
tatorship at onec, since I was accus
ed ot aspiring to it. Every one Would j
j have been a judge of what they called
1 my ambition: 1 believe it would have
1 beenbetter, for monsters appeargreat
|jer at a distance than uear by. The
I dictatorship would have had the ud
vantage of removing all doubts as to
[ the future; of leaving opinion undi
vided* and of intimidating the enemy
by showing the resolution of France.
[But how much wiser would he have
acted, had ho amended the existing
government, rather than destroy it by
an act of usurpation? What blind
ness?]
“But I perceived that this high au
thority was placed, as of itsejf, into
1 my hands. I exercised in it fact, if not
by right, and it was sufficient to sur
vive the crisis, and to save France and
the revolution, s
“My task then was to establish the
revolution, by giving it a lawful eba
■ meter, that it might he acknowledged
and legitlmated by the commonwealth
: of Europe.
“All revolutions have undergone
I the same conflicts. Our’s could not
f! expect to be exempted from them; but
she might da»m in her turn the right
of citizenship in that commonwealth.
1 “I knew that before we proposed it
1 our principles must be fixed, our legi
slation agreed upon, and our excesses
repressed. I believed myself strong
, enough to succeed, and 1 was not mis
. taken.
“The principle 'of the revolution
; was the abolition of castes, or, in 0-
thcr words, to establish equality. I
respected it. The office of legisla
tion is to regulate principles. l n this
spirit I made laws. Excesses had
shown themselves in the existence
of factions. I did not notice them,
and they disappeared. . They had
: shown themselves in the destruction
• of religious Worship; I re-established
* it. In the existence Os emigrants; 1
recalled (hem. In the general disor
der of administration; I reformed it.
In the ruin of the finances; I restored
them. In the want of an authority
competent to govern France; I gave
1 her that authority, by taking info my
own hands the reins of government.
. “Few men have done so much as I
r then did in so short a lime. History
• Tiiis is an awkward ami periphrastic trans
lation—but the real English expel, or in the
1 other sense, worn-out, would never do—-the
word bad, till then, even in France, been rare
ly used. . .
0 * • pP- ■ *
will one day rc record vrWat Prance
was at my accession, and wbiit. she
was when &ut gave laws to Europe.
“I had no occasion to employ arbi
trary power to accomplish these stu
' petitions works.—Probably ic would
not have been refused me: but 1 al
ways detested what is arbitrary. 1
loved good order and laws. I made
many, and 1 made them severe and
precise, but just; because a law which
permits no exception, Is always just, j
I caused them to be rigorously obser
ved, for such is the duty of the Throne;
but 1 respected them. They will sur
vive me, and that will reward my la
bours.
“All seemed to prosper. The state
revived; good order began to re-ap
pear. I devoted myself ardently to
the work, but I felt that (here was
something wanting in the system—
that is to say, a definitive. -
“ However strong my desire might
be to establish permanently the prin
ciples of The revolution. I clearly saw
that 1 should have to overcome great
obstacles before 1 succeeded: for there
was a necessary apathy between the
old and new systems. They formed
two masses whose interests wet*e pre
cisely in an inverse ratio. All the go
vernments which still subsisted by
virtue of the ancient law of nations,
saw themselves exposed by (he prin- (
eiplcs of the revolution, which had no
security itselfbutin treating with the
enqmy, or* destroying him if he refus
ed to ui knowledge i(.
“This struggle was to decide, by a
last appeal, on the renewal of the so
cial ordep ; of,Europe. I was at the
licuJ of the great faction which would
fain have destroyed the system on
which the world had gone since the
time of the Romans. As such, I was
set up as a mark for the hatred of all
who were interested in preserving
their Gothic rust. A less decided
character than mine might have to
temporize, and left a part, at least,
of this question to be disposed of by
time.
“But as soon as t bad sounded the
two factious to tire very bottom—as
soon as 1 perceived that they really !
divided the world as at the lime of
the reformation, I understood that
there could he no compact between
them, became their inteqpsts clashed
too much. 1 perceived that the more
(he crisis was shortened, the better
for (he people. It was therefore ab
solutely necessary that we should
have with us the greater part of Eu
rope, in order to incline the balance
in our favour. 1 could only command
this preponderance by (he right of j
the strongest, because it is the only
oiie acknowledged between nations. It
was, therefore, also necessary to be
come the strongest, for I was not on
ly called to govern France, but te
subdue the world before her; other
wise she wouldhave been crushed by
the world,
“1 never had a choioc in the course
1 pursued, for, it was always com
manded by events; because our danger
was imminent; and (heSist of March
proved how far it was to bo dreaded,
and bow impossible it was to teach the
old and new systems to abide together
in peace. It was, therefore easy to
foresee, (hat as Jong as (here was a
parity of force between (be two, there
would be a war, open or disguised.—
Any peace that might be signed, would
be but to gain a breathing time.—-
France, then, as the head-quarters of
the revolution, was bound to hold
herself in readiness to resist (he tem
pest. For this purpose, it was requi
site (hat there should he unity in the
government, to insure strength; union
in the nation, to produce common aim
—and confidence in the people, that
they might consent to the sacrifices
necessahy-to command victory.
“But every thing was precarious
»n (he consular system, because no
thing was in its proper sphere. There
was a nominal republic and areal so
vereignty; and a feeble representation
of (he people, and astrong executive
power, obedient authorities, and a
preponderating army.”

COTTON TRADE.
Yesterday (here was a most respec
table meeting of merchants and others
interested in (he exportation of cotton
i piece goods, at the New London tavern
i when certain resolutions, expressive
of the sentements of the meeting on
I the importance of the cottou piece
goods trade, and the impolicy of al
lowing the unrestrained exportation
of cotton yarns were agreed to, and a
memorial founded thereon, agreed to
be presented to the prince regent,
praying his royal highness to take the
subject into his most serious consi
deration, and cause such measures to
he adopted as to his- wisdom may ap
pear necessary. *
Our opinion on (his subject Las
been long before the public. We
hare no doubt whatever that a large
portion of the distress under which
our manufactures now suffer, may be
attributed to the unrestrained expor
tation of cotton yarns, which arc af
terwards manufactured into piece
good* by foreign weavers. Let it be
remembered, that the number of
bands employed in spinning the, yarn
is but small, when compared with the
number required to convert the same
yarn into cloth; that the yarn would
not find a foreign market were there
not customers for the cloth; that
without this supply of British yarn,
our continental rivals coaid not sup
ply their customers with piece goods;
and, consequently, that they would be
| compelled to buy the cloths from us
if we withheld (he British twist,
without which they could not matm
faeture their own inferior yarns.

COMMUNICATED.
Mrs. Barrelt & Mrs, Waring. I
Whether benefits are considered as I
a mere gratuity, or as a test of the!
performer’s merit,in either case Mrs.
Harrctt and Mrs. Waring have claims
upon our attention, which ought not
to pass unregarded. It has been well
observed, that « though there be no
positive expressed obligation, on the
part of the public,yet there is an impli
ed one, a kind of tacit contract, (hat if
j the actor or actress pleases them fop
j the season, they will mark their ap
probation by going to his or her benefit
at the end of it. To fail in (his is a
manifold wrong; withholding their
reward from the labourers, refusing
to give testimony to their deserts, and
; thereby hurting their feelings and in
juring (heir professional character.—
I We knOw that the actor’s claim to
j this cannot be entertained in a court
as law ; but it will hold good in fora
conscietitiae , and no just, generous,
or proud spirit will demur to it.
j Besides, if we wish to give a ciiarac-
I ter to our Theatre, and attract to
wards it the most able and valuable
performers, we cannot do it more el*,
factually than by substantially evin«-
j ing a disposition to foster their exer
tions by a well directed liberalty.
As performers, Mrs, Barrett and
Mrs. Waring are certainly far above
mediocrity. Mrs. Barrett’s Mill
wood, last Saturday evening, convinc
ed us of her excellence in the higher
walks of tragedy. Her affected pas
sion for Barnwell, her insiduous ap
proaches to him, and, when detected,
her malignant triumph in the misery
she had inflicted, were all happily
conceived and judiciously managed.—
In the impassioned character of Ma
dame Clermont, she will have a fine
opportunity this evening (0 display
her powers. The characters are well
cast, and we anticipate a handsome
representation of Adrian and Orrila.
Mrs. Warirfg possesses a versatility
of genius that renders her interesting
in every character she undertakes,
i whether in the affecting walks of
tragedy, or in the lighter scenes of
comedy. The after-pieefe of Paul
& Virginia, is from the French of St.
Pierre, whose fascinating and uneor
rupted philosophy has done more to
wards ameliorating the human heart,
than all (hp systematic rules of cyn
ical morality.
| Mrs. Barrett and Mps. Waring are
both widows; the former is much ad
vanced in life, and the latter just in
the spring-tide of youth, with a love
ly infant yet blushingin her arms.— (
Their prepossessing appearance have
already made the most favorable im
pression upon the public mind; and
their suavity of disposition and amen
ity of manners have long ago endear
ed them to all their acquaintances.
Miss Lcltine & Miss Moore,
After the benefit of the two ladies
we have just noticed, follows (bat of
Miss JUettioe and Miss Moore.— And
here wc must again appeal to the well
known liberality of our city. Wc
have before us two lovely and inte
resting Emigrants, far from the place
of their nativity, entirely dependant
upon their own exertions, for the
supply of their immediate wants- —
We have witnessed with a lively inte
rest their unremiited and solicitous
exertions to please; and we ardently
hope their labors will dot go unre
warded." Sons of Hibernia! Coun
