A funeral sermon will be preach
ed at Mr’ John B Leonard’s on
the lTthinftant.
The triumph of Kings. —The fuc
cefsofthe allied powers in their at
tack upon the independence of
France, is an event, which, we
do not hesitate to fay, we deeply
iieplore. We have uniformly a
vowed our joy at the expuliion of
the B >urbons, at the restoration of
Napoleon to power, and at the
profpett of eftabiifhing a mild and
liberal government in France. We
looked upon the coalition of Eu
ropean feverigns, as a confederacy
against the lovereignty of the
French peole, to deprive-them of
the right of felf government, to iuv
pose a ruler upon them as upon a
conquered nation, and to extinguish
the lalf spark of revolutionary and
republican feeiing. We confi
dently hoped, that this cruifade a
r gain ft French liberty, would termi
nate in the defeat and disgrace of
the aggressors, and that another
example would be giyen to the
world, of the ability of a great peo
ple in a just cause, to refill the mod
extensive and formidable combina
tions. The relult has diiappointed
our wilhes and expectations ; but
it has not changed our sentiments.
We firmly believe, that right was
on the fide of the French, and that
plight has overcome right. We re
gret the success of the allies for the
following leafons:
Because it is the triumph of roy
al pride over the rights of man—ot
ancient prejudices over liberal prin
ciples—of corrupt eftabhfhments
over systems of amelioration and
reform—ot pretentions founded on
birth over the claims ot merit and
the choice of the people—of the
j privileged fm over the disfranchif
| ed many.
Because it blasts the hopes and
I difeourages the hearts of the friends
! of liberty in all countries, who re
joice at the eftablifhinent of a go
vernment deriving its power trom
the’ people, ypon the ruin of hqfedi
tary despotism.
Because it furnifhes to this and
to succeeding generations, a molt
pernicionfs example, of the success
with which the“fwinilh multitude”
may be made inftruinents in the
hands of their mailers, to obftrucl
the emancipation ol the human race
and to perpetuate their own de
generation.
Because it deitroys the balance of
power in Europe, and gives an un
due preponderance to tile all-grasp
ing and all-corrupting government
of Great Britain.
Because it has humbled Ameri
ca’s belt friend, France , at the ieet
of our word enenmy, England; and
by ‘ increafmg her power and re
sources, puts her in a (ituation to
be more troubiefome and danger
ous to us.
I’hefe are our reqfons for lament
ing the triumph of the conspiracy of
Kings Whether they have . any
foundation our readers will judge
—and, thank God, we ourlelves
can dill exercise the fame liberty.
The tate of Bonaparte , as an in
dividual, is or little importance
; compared with the fate of the
French nation—yet it mud excite
our curt ifity and intered We
cannot be indifferent to any thittg
which concerns this hero of the
age. When we contemplate his
wonderful life and character, the
gigantic dimenfjons of his mind,
the vast conceptions of his genius,
the variety and magnitude of his
exploits, his obfeure origin, his ra
pid rife, the glory of his career, the
unequaled power and influence to
to which he Attained, and finally,
his sudden precipitation from the
empire of Europe to the govern
ment of an infignificant illand—af
ter such a review, all other profane
hidory appears insipid and uninter
eding. B.ut the closing feene was
dill to come. Napoleon’s fun had
not yet set. It was again to burfl
from the clouds and dazzle the
world with its splendor, before it
finally funk beneath the horizon.
See the mader of kings and empe
rors dripped of his power & doom
ed to exile—fee the old government
of France quietly edbliiheu—the
affairs of Europe fettled upon what
feerned a lading basis—the dorm
succeeded by a perfect calm—ail
the nations finking into the repose
of passive lubtniuion. Then fee
this man issuing from h*s retreat—
he touches the foil of France, and
the whole empire submits to his au
thority- he marches triumphantly
to the capital and wreds the feep
tre from the feeble g*rafp of Louis
—his appearnce spreads conderna
tion and confufion over Europe—
the sovereigns tremble oh their
, thrones—millions are armed to
crufft this tingle individual ! Was
there ever such a spectacle ? Was
j there ever such a man.? We are
, tree to confefs that he is the object
of our admiration. But he never
was, he never can be the objeft of
our love.
We do not think Bonaparte the
best, but we believe him to be the
greatest of men. We believe, that
Ipoderity will edimate his character
with more judice than the present
’ interfiled and prejudiced genera
tion. We believe, that he well ap
pear on the pige ol History, such
as he reaiiy is, anU not iucii as his
friends or m3 enemies rep relent
him to De. He wid not be painted
either as an angel ui light or a moil- ,

Since the jubjugatioii c# trance,
•the only check upon the tyranny
and inlatiable cupidity ot ihe B/i
tain, will be the strength of the Rus
sian Empire. vVe entertain an ex
aired opinion of the talents and vir
tues ot Alexander. W'e contiJer
him more justifiable in the courle
he has taken, than any one ot trie
confederates, fie is almost the
, only one, who is justifiable in pur
luing Napoleon with such unrelent
ing animosity. If he proceeds fur
ther—if he aids in imposing the
Bourbons, upon the French against
their will, posteA'y will pronounce
him culpable in fullering his pas
sions to prevail over his real’on and
silence the voce of justice.
