TII Elba f•••they would have designated him by these Giles, nor would have departed, either in sobstance or form, from the respectful. notice which they impose. They would have felt that,' seeording• to the law of nations, the Pi Mee least pawerfnl from the extent or population of his States, enjoys. in regard to his political and and civil character, the rights helatieiegto every Sovereign. Prince equally with the most powerful Monarch ; and Napoleon, recog nised under the title of Empeior, and as a Sovereign Prince by all the Powers was no mort than any one triable by the Congress of Vienna. An oblivion of those principles, which it it impossible to ascribe to Plettipurentiaties who weigh the rights of nations with. deliberation and prudence, has in it notlinig astonishing when it is displayed by sonic French Ministers, whose consciences reproach them with more than one act of treason, in whom fear has pro duced rage, and wham remorse deptives of reason. Such persons might have riskei the fshrication, the publication of a document like the pretended Orel:nation of the 1311$ of March, in the hope of st o pp i ng the progress of Napoleon, and misleading the . French people as to the true principles of &reign powers. But such men are not qualified, like the latter, to judge of the merit of a nation which they have misconceived, betrayed, delivered up the arms of Foreigners. That nation, brave and generous, revolts against every thing bearing the character of .baseness and oppression ; its affec tions became enthusiastic when their object .is threatened or at taitked by a great injustice ; and the assassination to which the de claration'of the 13tii of March excites, will find anoint for its exe cution neither among the the twenty-five millions of Frenchmen, the majority of whom folloWed, guarded, protected Napoleon from the Mediterranean to the capital, nor among the eighteen millions of Italians, the six, millions of Belgians and Rhenish, nor the nume rous nations of Germany, who, •at this-solemn crisis. have 'sot pros nonneed his name but with respectful recollections ; nor antidat the iridignant EtivJish nation, whose hononeableCentiments disavow* the language which has been audaciously put into the months of Save- - reigns. The nations of Europe are enlightened vilify judge the. rights of Napoleon, the rights of the Allied Princes, and those of the RAtrhoos. They know that the conv e nti o n o f Fontainbleati Was a Treaty among titc..Sovereigos ; its violation', the entrance of Napoleon on the French territory, like every infraction of &diplo matic act, like every hostile itivision, coild . only lead tri" . .an ordi nary war, the result of which can only be,. in reepect,of persons, that of being conqueror or -conquered,, free,. or a prisqner,of war; , in respect-Of possessions, that of their bring either preserveri or lost, increased or diminished; and that of every thotight, every threat, every attempt against the life of a Prince-pt war with another, is a thing unheard of in rite history of nations and the cabinets of Europe.
