The highly* important mews from
Trance via Halifax. published in this
day’s paper, is probably authentic.—
The popularU aura has turned against
Bonaparte* No longer supported
by the French people, his cause
came desperate. He found it tieces-
V sap y to abdicate a throne which he
5 ic;uld n,ot support, and to submit to a
c'ucumscnoed residence in his native
Mediterranean. fl
How astonishing the reverses wfilph
f this Vfngular l man has experienced 1
* and how strong a proof of the insta
bility of hUpiain, greatness does his I
’ life exhibit 1 i’he- world was aston- ?
” ished at his rise, and no less signal & •
remarkable has been his fall 1 Asew’
* weeks oriihonths ago, supported hy >
’ millions of rnen and the most ample
resources, his power and influence
* srere felt and feared in the four quar
ters of the globe ; now, abandoned
by his soldiery, divested of authority,
no longer tbie emperor, the kiqjj£, or
the general, expelled from the con
tinent of Europe, the theatre of his
former brilliant achievements, he is
confined to a little island, a harmless
.private individual, no more probably
to disturb the world'. He, and others
by ‘his * fate may ■** Know that the
Most High God raleth in^the King
dom of men and appointeth over it
Whom soever he wiir*—-and that—*
M the race is not to the swift, not* the
’ battle to the strong.” - r * h
If the above news be -CrKie, We will,
* toon have it confirmed. How far
thl downfall of the usurper of France
will operate to the injury of this:
country we pretend not to be able tOv
say. It will doubtless fo,r the pre
tent give additional Weight to the
power and influence of England
But we do not suppose that the con
ttitution of things in the world is
such that the oppression of three”
, fourths of its inhabitants should, at
any time, -become necessary for the
freedom of the remainder. The
'cause for which America haS waged
v%nd levied ‘war* is, we believe, just
and honnrable—aßd, we trust, that
t :||hi vine Providence will, sooner or
later, smile upon Sc prosper thisflause
4e>f liberty and humanit^.
