FRANCE AND NAPoLEos.-No speech OF man
| can realize the actual sensation with WHICH tl9
| power of France was really regaroea III ios uaS9
| of power. No conception of alter tunes can aP-


proach the mixture of fear, astonishfileht' anu a'A


iety the solemn wonder, and even the mysterious


and fearful admiration, with which Europe looked


on the throne of Napoleon Yet, what must DC


,be efIec. or the general human nina, OF iiVlng IN
49, -er,etnai presence of sovereignty which had


concentreted all the powers of the vast French
| er,nire on conquest-which had turned every mon
| arch into vassal; whose armies were poured out
| by the hundred thousand-whose march was from
capital TO capital, and whose triumPhs had the
extent rapidity and completeness OF something
beyond man. Even the language OF the time felt
the impression of those extraordinary events, and
the phrases of 'Invincible, Son of Destiny,


81 Irresistible" :" King-maker,' though given in
other days in the sycophancy OF courtiers or the
terror of slaves, were given to the head OF this
fearful empire and army, almost by natural use
of words. The impression is wearing away now
among ourselves, but it was not the less vivid
while it existed. In the conquering days of Ma
poeon there was but one name in the world, and
that name was his own. His guilt, his personal
vices his perfdy, and his reckless love of blood,
were as fully acknowledged then as nt this mo-
ment, when we recosntinS the causes which
brought him TO his grave; but success, genius,
grandeur of plan, and triumph OF execution, had
given him an elevation in the eye OF Europe to
which no man, for thousand years before him,
had been raised, and TO France pawer not mere
ly over the frame of nations, bat the mind, which
almost divested submission of it's disgrace, and to
which the simple resistance as it was resistance
for many passive and painful year by England,
was title to glory. Blackwood.
