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- , Iter ol wickeuntds j out reUmibiing otner men m iiis paihons, though superior to thepi in nis talents, lie vvili be delcrioed as an ambitious, yet a magnanimous conqueror; as * anabfoiute but not a cruel deipot; one who never patiently lutiered any obitacle, either moral dr pny iical, to Hand in his way to univer sal etnpre, but who, after lie had couipleteiy iuodued, always forgave and ipared ; wno did *.ot delight in the milery, but in the prolperily of his fubjeCts j and tbe grand ob ject ot whole ilia, was tne glory Si happiness ot France, iiisbiitoiy will contain many uleiul lefibns—it will- afford an example of the high reward ot cultivated talents and pa tient perseverance, and at tbe lame time oi the punilhineut whicn a waits immoderate ambition.

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.
