CHARACTER OF V.IPOLEOX nros.ii*arte. fiKBTCJItl) BY THK rCLtBUATEO Mtt. PillLUPS. Hi' 1* fallen ! We may now pause be¬ fore tlr.it -plendid prodigy which tower¬ ed amongst us \\\>v. some ancient ruin, Whose power terfifled the glance its maii- nlficcuce attracted. Grand—"loomy— and pccullai be sat on the throne a scep¬ tred Hermit, v, npt in the solitude of his awful originality ;—A Alind, bold—in- depiiidant—anil deei-ivc ;—A will des¬ potic in its dictates:—An energy that distanced expedition, and a conscience pliable to every touch of interest, mar- ken this extraordinary character, the nio'.t extraordinary perhaps that in the annals of thi-. world,ever tore—or reign- i"d—01 U 11.—Flunj«into life in the midst ofa revolution that awakened every en¬ ergy of a people who acknowledged 110 SUpcrioV—lie commenced hi-i career, u -traiii'.ei by birth, and » scholar by char- it), with no friend but his sword, with no fortunebulhis talent;-:—H*» rushed in¬ to the H-ts where rank, wealth, and ge¬ nius had nrrayed themseWe*, and com¬ petition lied from him as fiomlhpglance of Destiny. He knew no motive but in¬ terest—lie acknoweledged no criterion but success—He worshipped no God but Ambition, and with an eastern devotion lie knelt nt the shrine of his Deity.—Sub¬ sidiary to ib?s3 there was no creed which he did not profess—tkere was no opin¬ ion be did not promulgate •—In the hope of a Dynasty he upheld the crescent— for the aaJco of a divorce he bowed be¬ fore the cross ;—The orphan of St. Lou¬ is lie became the adopted child of the Republic, and with a parricidal ingrati¬ tude, on the ruins of the Throne he rear¬ ed the Tower of hi< Despotism.—A pro¬ found Catholic he imprisoned the Pope, a pretended Patriot he Impoverished the country, and in the name of Erutus, he ■^ra^ped without remorse, or worse with¬ out shame, the Diadem of the Ca?sars.— Through the pantomime of his folly, For¬ tune played the Clown to his caprices : —At hit) touch, crowns crumbled—Beg¬ gars reigned—Systems vanished—and ilu-wildr.f theories took the colour nl hi%v.'.■■.—and all that was venerable, mid :ill thai v»r.s novel, changed places with the rapidity vl a Drama. Even ap¬ parent defeat assumed the operation of victor)—His Bight from Egypt confirm¬ ed his Destiny—Ruin itself only eleva- trd him to I'ju-iiio ; |5'it if his fortune ifas ffreat, his Gc il'uswa* tmnscendaut ! Decision Hashed on his councils, and it W&S tli'- same thirty to decide and to per¬ form : To inferior intellects his combi¬ nations appeared perfectly impossible, his plans perfectly impracticable ; But in bf9 hands simplicity marked their de- velopement and success vindicated their adoption.—Hi- person partook the char¬ acter ol his mind—if the one never yiel¬ ded iu the cabinet, the other never fled in the field :—Nature had no obstacle- ho did not surmount ;—Space no oppo¬ sition he did not spurn.—And whether amid Alpine Rocks—or Polar snows- he seemed proof against peril, and em¬ powered with ubiquity ! The whole con¬ tinent of Europe trembled at the auda¬ city of his designs, and the miracle of their execution.—Scepticism bowed to the prodigies of his performance. Ro¬ mance assumed the air of History, nor was ought ton incredible for belief—or too fanciful for expectation.—When the world saw a Subaltern of Corsica, wav¬ ing his Imperial Flag over the most an¬ cient Capitals, all the visions of antiqui¬ ty became common place in his contem¬ plation ; Kings were his People—Na¬ tions his outposts—and he disposed of Courts, and Crowns, and Camps, and Churches, and Cabinets as if they were the liluhii Dlglritici of his Che» board. —Amid all these changes he vtood im¬ mutable as Adamant. It mattered lit¬ tle whether in the field or the Drawing Room, with the mob, or the Levee, wear¬ ing the Jacobin Bonnet, or the Iron Crown, banishing a Bra^anza, or espous¬ ing a Louisa, dictating peace on a raft to the Czar of Russia, or contempla¬ ting defeat at the walls of Leipzig, he was still the military despot. Cradled in the camp, he was to the last hour the darling ol the Army. Of ull his soldiers not one forsook him till affec¬ tion became U6elessf& their first stipu.L lion was for their favourite. They knew well that if he was lavish of them, he was prodigal of himself, uud that If he expo¬ sed them to peril, he repaid them with plunder. For the soldier he subsidized every nation, to the people he made ev¬ en pride pay tribute. The victorious *• tcriiu glittered with his gains, and the Capital, gorgeous with the spoils of art, became the miniature metropolis of the Universe.—In this wou'erful combina¬ tion his affection for Literature may not be omitted. The Gaoler of the Press, he affected the Patronage of Letters!— The Proscriber of Books, he encouraged Philosophy—the peisecutcr of Authors, the murderer of Printers—he yet preten¬ ded to the protection of Learning ! 1— The assassin of Palm, the silencer of de Stael, and the denouncer of Kotzcbue, he was the friend of David, the benefac¬ tor of de Lille, ami Sent his Academic Prize to the Philosopher of Kngland! Sucfc a medley of contradictions and at the same time such an individual con¬ sistency were never united in the same chnraetpr, a Royalist, a R'-publicau, and ■ hi F'inpcmr, a Mahometan, a Cnlholie, and a Patron of (he Synagogue : a Sub¬ altern and a SoTeieicn—a Traitor and a Tyrant—a Christian and an Infidel, he wns through all his vicissitudes the same stern inflexible Original, the same incom¬ prehensible self, the man without a mod¬ el and without a shadow. His fall like his life baflled all expec¬ tation, in short, his whole hi-fory was like a dream to the world—and no man can tell why or how he was awakened from his reverie ; such is a faint and feeble picture of Napoleon Buonaparte ! the first and II is to be hoped the last Rm- peror of the French, that he has been the cause of much evil there is little doubt, that he has been the author of much good there is just as little.

Reconqmest of Porto Bello by the Royalists under General Hore* and jlight of At G regor and the mfurgent fquadron. Kingston t Sth May% 1819. By the arrival to- day of H M. frigate Zephyr, from Porto Bello. the foregoing intelligence has been received. It appears that a force of from 1000 tc 1200 men, commanded by Gen. Hore, came from Panama to Porto Bello on the 28th ult. On the 1 ft inft. in the morning, they fud- denly invaded the town, while the infur- gents were lying in bed! It was with great difficulty that M'Gregor made his escape in bin Ihirt through a wind >w twenty feci high, and to prefcrve his life directed his comic to the fliorc, threw himfelf into the- water, 3nd by fwimming reached a vclicl, from which he j.-aiTcd over to the brig Hero. During the affray, about 100 men were killed and wounded. Gen. Lopez and Col. O'Haia arc amwg!! |fcf flain, the full before leaving his couch ! About 300 men and 70 officers of the infnrgents werr made prifoners, and fent to Panama. The fquadron escaped from the poic during the conftcruation. Another account faya, that the attack on Porto Bello was at daybreak, on the 30th of the laft month under a fqall, and that twelve perfons only escaped, amnngfc them Col. [Iohric-0 and Lieut. Sempell, who took fhelter on board the infiirgcnt fquadron. Col. O'Hara received a Ihoo through the lungs, and died three days after. The rcfiftance in the fort by Col. Kate? with about 250 men, was very gallant;but they at length capitulated with all the honors of war, keeping thetr arms and baggage, and with the condition, of betraying fent in Spanifh bottoms to one of the neareft Britifii poficflmns. AH thofe of the wounded who were found with fufficient ftrcngth for a journey, were ordered to Panama, D. Manue! Lopez, late governor, of Porto Bello by appoint¬ ment from M'Gregor, was beheaded by order of Gen. Hoie, and Gen. Santa Crut fuccecdcd in his place. A third account givc3 the following details: On the 30th ult at 6 o'clock in the mnrning, General Hore of Panama furprifed the forces of M'Gregor ; yet he ha« the good fortune of making his efcapc by jumping from a window in the govern¬ ment houfe, twenty feet high. The inconfiderate adventurers, his followers, have been cither killed or made prifoncrs, and their baggage has fallen into the hands of Gen. Hore. Seventy officers and 300 fotdicrs taken, were fent to Panama, and about too perifhed in the action. Gen. M'Gregor, more fit for jumping than for military command, inflead of making his retreat to the fort, and trying there his fate, defcrted his men, and fought refuge on board of a vefTel. The infurgents fired inceffantly .'nuflcet and cannon (hot ; but the royalifts fuftaincd no g'eat loft. Gen Hore deferve* credit for the unplcafant march of ten days through woods, moun¬ tains, and very bad roada. He was to leave Porto Bello for Chagres on the 3d— (hence to proceed to Paoama to give itpofe to his troops. Est rail of a letter from Porto Bello to a gentleman in this totun, dated 4/A »/" May. On the night of the 30th ult. the Spanifh forces from Panama, under the command of Gen. Hore, approached thi* place, and at day-break of the following day halted in the vicinity, with the in¬ tention of making an attack in conjunction with the troops of Col. St. Cruz. The latter did not arrive fo foon as was ex¬ pected, which almcft obliged Hore to withdraw ; but having at laft wade his appearance, the SpanihS troops entered the town without the leait oppofition. They at once took pofTefflon of thevarii.us points, and the infurgeot army hsppeiiiug to be in the public fquarc for parade, was a: tacked, and reduced almoft all to fubmiuW. Col. 0*H3ra received two Ihots in the lungs jurt as he was eutcring the fwt, and waa taken piifoner. He died the fecond day in the hofpital. M'Gregor was iu bed at the commencement of the adion, and to make his efcapc jumped ftem a window into the
