EVERY circumstance conuefted with the political character and con duct of this rnofi extraordinary man indicates the mod imposing superiority oftnind;; not, however, of an enviable kind. It may, indeed excite the alto, nifhment of the wife and good, but is mno reipett calculated to (ecure their fteem. In many of his personal habits Bonaparte canies his ternpei ance and •elf deniil to an aiinolf tinoaraileled xtreme. 1 1 is well known that at Til- ! 11 fie did not sleep than two hours ] in the twesv-y iv>ur, Night after night j at twelve o’clock, be went alcne to the I residence of the Emperor Alexander,! and continued with him until four in ihe morning. In this case he was his own negociaior • and when two fuel) heads come into cotillion, it is easy to pre.ijCl thert-fult. Bonaparte on every public occasion, manifelts to the vv*• rld the mod profound knowledge of hu in an nature and national charaQer .Mid never fails to turn this knowledge to his own advantage; it is the compals by which he governs his political pro gicfs with undeviating fticcefs on the continent, fiurtounced by an annv whose interests and views fie aft'efcTs to aflimdate wuh lii;> own by a fingu -1 ‘arly anomalous policy, of tvgei mon key nianageirieni of (hspes and caitl tes, exactly adapted to the circnmlian ces of the nines, and temper ol the peo p.ie with whom he has to do, he luc -1 ucffiveiy wins over their he lot ted ac. qmefceticc with his ambitious Iciietnes ; of uruveifa! dominion, and livcts then chains in tiie face of open dav. During the late negociations, the inperor Alexander and the king ol Fru-llia. not only graced his rides, the one on his right, and the other on his est hand, but an express was <ii(patch ed for the queen ol Rrullia to attend at l'iifn ; Ihe obeyed, and was efcorttd by two French marshals; and on het anival on the oppofue f deofibe rivet Bonaparte tuimcdtaicty lent a uufiage exprcilive of Iris (ouow tiiat tie couid not wait on her pcrlonallv, as (he wus on eucuiv’s ground ; but il Ihe would cross the bridge to I'jifit, he fliouFi •;* proud to pay her his telpeCls : this in”: did, and he was ioflantlv in hei pie fence, and manileftcd the gfc.u-il [>->- . litenefs and attention to he.

In his nerfon he is about I the mi idie size, and rather iucliucii to be (lout—his countenance exhibits a ficklv appearance —the natural coufe quence of hi* habits andexertions w ‘u. h aie such, as might be very rtafonabiy concluded, that u>nhyh;a! conlli u tion could poflibly full am. From ftaternetn. r . like the foregoing, many and highly important and uieful inferences might be drawn ; they tend to prove in the fitft place, thatTuere is a God that judged) the earth, and that he is niutl affurediy the moral govern or of the unrverTe, and that v.'hcn na. tions cafi off his Tea;, and refule to obey the call of fiis mercy, they Hr all ; sooner or later fee I the dreadful effecis of liis offended justice. ’ What thinking man, who believes the Bible to be the revealed will of God, will belUate (or a moment to admit that the hand of the Almighty has been in the late awful calamities on the continent, efpeciaily when he is adored of the extensive spread of infidelity, the fyflematic pro fanation of the Sabbath, and the a ; - mofl; universal lirentioufnefs of man ners— a iicentioufnefs a f which few Englifhtnen would not blufli ; and when he is fntther told, that biafphe my, lying, thieving, lewdness, indecen cy of every kind, and silicide, are the order of the day, and that tiie inhabi tants of the continent are generally speaking, not only defiitute of religious information, but also nranifeil, on ai moft every common occalion, a total dereliction ol moral principles! We may, in the second place, infer, that Bonaparte, with all his ingenuity, cannot destroy the trade of this coun try with the comment. When a na tion has been the feat of war, its own manufactures (ever the rnoft necessary) mult be at a (land; with these it muff be supplied from other countries, and England alone has the means of lup plying such demand, through the num bers and excellence of her artisans, and has the power, through the vast pre dominance of her maritime (Length; and so long as our grand enemy has not (übdued and en(laved the whole of the continent, orir manufa Hu res will find their wav thither, either through | a direCi or circuitous route. Should ; Denmark prove friendly to our views, ! Zealand will be one of the grand de j pots of Biitifh merchandize; and if the King of Sweden continue firm, his j country will furnifh another. We are confirmed in this idea by the confide:*- { tion of tl.u- nations of tiie continent be_ j ing so far behind us in the u(e*ul arts; ■foi iL is au ellablifhed fa6l, that almo't | every thing there, w’ne'.her ufelu! <.r ornamental, in the arts, is the produbk of our own country. Thirdly. Should the head of the French nation peifift in his plan of ex cluding our merchandize from the continent, we probably shall, in our own defence, faze every (hip that tr.av be found at lea, and cut off the lup plies afforded by any other powe which might be friend’y to hts views, m older to piomote their own. This opinion is Uteng'hened by its corre- Ipondence with tl.ofe of the rnoff en lightened fottigr.ers. Our informant was told by a Prussian gentleman, that if England once deter ruined to adopt a rigorous JyJUm of general blockade , and ejpeciah ) if file put a. flop 0 the impor tation of colonial produce , the title continuity in three months, would be in one genet al flame. —Y his ought to teach America a left on of piudence and can. tion in her conduct towards tnis coun try, againlt which, if tiie once declares, war, her incalculably profitable com merce wuh the French colonies w j!; bu ruined at a (ingle blow.
