To this purpose the Attorney had gone lo Dublin, and it is on the morning of the execution that we now introduce his friend, aux . iuusly awaiting his return : ‘Early on the second morning, 1 look u walk into I lie country, along the Dublin road, vaguely hoping lo meet, even so early, our zealous attor ney returning lit us with a whim handkerchief streaming from the window of his post chaise that idea had got into my head, like a picture, and would recur every moment.

The ac tion attracted his attention, —our glances met — and oh! how the flush instantly forsook Ins fore bead and his cheeks—and how his eyes closed— while cold perspiration burst out on his brow, and ho started, stopped and fullered! Did I c iceog nize me as the person who hud spoken kindly u> him in his cell before his trial, and perhaps, with all my precaution, given him it vague hope! or was it that the unexpected appearance of a hu man creature staring at him in utter conrmisspi a lion, in that otherwise lonely court yard, had touched the end of human associations, and cal, led him back lo earth, out of his enthusiastic vis ions of heaven! 1 know not, 1 cannot even guess, viho can! As ho faltered, the young priest p .ssed his arm round his body, mid gently urged liim lo bis knees, and knelt with him, kissing his cheeks, his lips, pressing his hands, and in lender wins pers, manning him again for facing shame, and death, and eternity.

The French Government and tire I’rincc Louis Napoleon. I’aiiis, Sept. 8. 1838. Gkntj.kmkn,—There is something magical in t the name of Napoleon ! There was a time when j i he was held up to execration in Grea Britain us | an assassin, a tyrant, a despot, an enemy to pence, \ | order, morals, and religion, and the curse of the j world These days have gone by. Such tra-li las (his now, wool.l no he believed. \ our Major i Lee, who died at Tuns whilst engaged in wilting the Itle of this great man, once said to me, *1 1 j know ol no mere man either of ancient or modern hist ny worthy ol being compared with Napo leon.'' This was the opinion of an enthusiast, I , admit, but yet no man had studied the whole length and breadth ol Napoleon’s character, con duct, and principles of action, us had the Major. I Ihe whole hie of Napoleon was a vast drama: u 1 most exciting, wondtons, astounding drama— , and we follow him as we read in the .1 lonileur the records of his acts, with a sort of breathless , impatience, wondering what is to come next. I There ate some deep, black, mortal stains in his . character, which we most acknowledge and de plore—hut Ins genius was Iranscoiidanl and his . j success os unbounded. Two of his gical crimes . j were the assassination of Ihe Duke d’Enghicn, f and Ins cond. .'t to those Republics which sur y j rounded France, and which he afterwards conXer I ted into kingdoms, or annexed to his Empire, in i order to gratify his personal ambition, and satiate - i Ills lust of power. But yet, in spire of these c | crimes, he was the mightiest necromancer of any ; j times — and he who does not feel the deepest in i latest in Ins history, most be wholly indifferent to a | the charms of poetry, to the inspirations of genius >1 1 to consummate skill and knowledge, to the hide is 1 pend"iicc ol France, to the htsloiv and progrras v ol the French Revolution, and to the | rogress and it enlightening of the human mind.

Bui c; when they have arrived al the Galley of Napo ic Icon when they have looked at his mighty cx -1) ploits as picture,i forth on the lany walls of that ic incomparable j dace—they have forgotten all the > marble Kali of ihc old dynasties —all the histori ■ cal paintings of pant agi n—anil have contempla ted with a wonder and a rapture only to lie fell lire lei-rcscniaiions of the ac iicveinenis id itiui 1 mighty magician.

At the moment when he was bmn the genius of Napoleon had reorgani zed Europe—md the supremacy of lh° French Revolution dominated over all European Powers The Prince N ipoleon Louis was brought up by hie mother, whose name is revered and beloved by every Frent liman. His education was di ctdedlv liberal and patriotic—ami although 'lifting the Restora ion, himself and his family wore banished from France, they never ceased to feel for her » I the affection wfcieh was due to so (peat and noble a people The Hevolul iin of 183tfnas ns unjust j to the lurniL of Bonaparte, ns had Iceit the Res [ loralion. The law of M. tie liiiegteville, which excluded the eldest branch of the Hiuse o( Bour ; hon forever from the Crown, excluded likewise the family of Napoleon; and "her the Prince Napoleon Louis applied to ho allotted to serve to the Ficneh army as a private soldier, the reply was in the nega tec. Disappointed in this desire of bis heart, bn joined the cause of the Italian PatijolH, and there lost his only surviving brother, who was killed by Austrian bullets, I be name of Napoleon was always dear to the French people. They had not forgotten the gin ry of his chivalry, or the chivalry of his glory— and in 1833, il the Duke de Retells,adl, the son of Napoleon, had appeared on the (outliers he would have been proclaimed King, lint he died —and the Prince Napoleon Louis became I lie inheritor o( the name of the mighty founder ol his family. Dot the moment had not aimed, in his opinion, for trying his fortune, and the years 1833 34 and 35, were devoted by him to deep and close study. His work on Switzerland oba mined him the honorary title of "Citizen of the Repub ic,” —a mark of consideration conferred by the Swiss on di-4irisiiLhed men.,and with which the Marshal Ney was once honoured. His Manual of Artillery, published two ycats later, attracted also for him much notice and praise— and in proporiinn as he became known the num ber of his partisans as well in France, as in Swit zerland, rapidly increased. In 1833, he visited Fiance secretly—had a long and rn inorahlo in. lervicw with General La ayctle—and interested that remarkable man very much In hie favor Annaud Garrel likewise, though averse to any hut popular and republican institutions, look a deco in crest in the fate of this young man—and Cha teaubriand, the greatest ofClirislian French poets and historians, has declared in writing, that il "his king” were not the Duke ot Bordeaux, ihere would he no one he would sooner adopt ihan the ■ son of the viitunus King of Holland and ol ihe Queen Hot tense. rtt la tin October, 1880. this young Prince | made his “attempt”—and it signally filled. , ‘ II hy ” il did so has been explained very folly by , a gentleman named "Laitt,” who Inis publish)d ) bis account of (he cnierprize. J do not agree vvtill him in ad his statements, or, j;) scarcely any "I Lis inferences—and I do not believe that there is any very extensive party in France for the ‘ ynni.g man in question. You ate already aware. ' that he was expelled Irom France bv force sent 1 U) ih Biazils—detained on board the vessel — mid finally landed in America. You are also aware, linn from America he escaped—has return wl to Europe—arrived in lime to attend his dying 1 mother—closed her eyes in death—and lias be come a citizen of the State or Gan on of Thur gan, and a member of the Utile Corps of that Province. As the ontorprizo n( October, 1830, was regard ed as the mad anti headstrong aehio ement of an inconsiderate young man—a pamphlet has been pnldisln il hy M. Laity, the friend ol Ihe Prince, to prove H e contrary. 1 confess lamhy no means satisfied of the wisdom nr prudence of the measure, and I do not feel that the pamphlet has shewn any good reasons, su''h lessons as wise mm would approve, for die undertaking in que lion. This pamphlet has been prosecuted— prosecuted before the Court of Peers—the no initial author has been condemned to line and imprisonment— and is now suffering the penalties of the law. But all this w as done, in ruder to form the basis ol an til ertor | and more impotlaui measure. It was all done, in j order to shew, that Piime Napoleon Louis wasa I conspirator—that the pamphlet was rea/h / his and that as he was conspiring in Bwi.Zetland to j obtain possession of Ihe Crown of Fiance, n was j the duly of Ihe tswiss Government to expel wilh | out delay 'his Pretender to the Throne! So the son of Lamms, the Duke de Montebello, was ! charm'd to demand this expulsion at the hands of | the Diet. The demand was made—discussed ' referred to the consideration of the Council of] | I hurgui a d to a Special Co nuission of the j 1 Die —and in all probability will be rejected. j Strange vicissitudes in human eli'utrs! Oh! if Lattnes had been told in 1808, that just 30 years afterwards, his son should he engaged as French I ambassador in endo tvormg to procure Ihe exptil- | sion from Stvi zerland olTho nephew of the Em I peror, at that moment hum—what would he have said] Why, that il would ho impossible that any son of his. could ever so act—or that the i French people and Government could make such a demand, i he expulsion of the Ptince Napoleon Louis, \ frum Switzerland, would he an act of base httmil- | ia'ion and submission on the part of the Swiss I Diet and Swiss nation to ihe French Gmernmetf. It would mio the intlej endetu-e ot Switzerland, j nod expose her to degradation, insult, and obloquy. ' It would he in the second place an overthrow of] ; Swis- neunaliiy. 4he position of Switzerland in Europe is peculiar. She is neutral. Her neu i tralily is guaranteed hy Treaties. These treaties I cannot he violated with impunity. They do nut authorize the expulsion, or demands lor the ex pulsion ot private citizens. Napoleon Louis is a i I mate citizen. In Switzerland, he is nothing more. “But,’' it is said, “he is a pretender.” Yes I he is—hut how is Switzerland to prevent this ' j 'he allows of no arming for him. of no et,listing ! for him, of no firming of a stall'tor hint of general officer*. No Swiss or French troops march to aid him. He collects no troops or partisans. He I is a resident of his own palace of - irenemberg — ] the chateau of his mother;—there he lives with a few friends—writes—rends, publishes books 1 ami pamphlets—and is a member of the Rifle Corps. He hopes, believes, and desires, that be shall one day bo Chief of the French Republic, " and that the country will call him to lake this • office. I think he is mistaken.
