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.
