GENERAL AIOREiIt In times when steadiness in Loyalty is derided as weak tress, when the unprincipled ambition of . dating Revolu tionists has broken through all restraints, and too success fully attempted to pervert every principle of right, we can not too often revert to the conduct of those few men whose bears, like the chosen vessel, has constantly kept unsullied the sacred fire which is one day to purify and re-animate the European Society. Such was General .MOREAU, of whose life ve presented a hasty sketch in our last Number. Steady from the beginning in his principles of loyalty and patriotism, he had only waited, through a variety of the most difficult cir cumstances, for an opportunity of asserting; them, and of delivering his country and Europe, when he met his death before Dresden. No event perhaps could have had a greater influence on the five of the world. General MOREAU, en joyed at that tithe the full and entire confidence of all the legitimate sovereigns of Europe; he had been called from America by their joint wishes; Louis XVIII'. had given him unlimited powers with respect -to France, pledging his royal word that he would take no • measures either of internal or external policy without consulting him On hearing of his &..arh, that Prince exclaimed, " l have lost.' my crotch a second time." (J'ai perdu ma ceuromre une sc conde .fifris") According to the suggestion of the Prince of CONDE, as we mentionedhefore, be intended to giveMcIREAV the rank of Coundtible of Rance, the. highest station under the old Monarchy, and the French Blue Ribband. We un derstand his Majesty now proposes sending; both the diploma and the ribband to Madame MOREAU, as a posthumous . tribute of gratitude to the memory of her great and viltuous husband. Louis XV. his grand father, acted in the same manner, as to the blue ; ibband, towards the widow of Comte de Iliasi, who bad died of wounds received in battle. The manner in which Cenetal MOREAU met his death is pc uliatly remrkable. Ile was, as reportcd, riding and in .close .conversation with the Emperor of Rustra, when their way was impeded by a wide ditch ; the Emperor pro pOsed to go ronnd, acd actually set about it with rot rest his retinue; but MO R E - AV, • who excelled in all military elt , ercises, made light of leaping over the ditch,' and in the very -act w,as struck by the fatal ball ! Ai if Providence wanted to show Olt no human means, however strong and well combined, were intended to 'deliver Europe from the scourge slie has sent to chastise it; and that to her alone belongs the puni,liment of crimes which Atheism has pro duced; A 111 r.LECH died by the hand of a woman. Louis XVIII. intents to have a solemn servi ee performed to the memory of General MOREAU, when a funeral oration will. be delivered, reCOrding the uninterrupted instances of st ! irtui and loyalty w - hieb marked his conduct, even when iv Vol. Vl. Ns. CCU. the,service of those monsters whom his soul ahhor ed, and whom lie, for a while, stooped to deceive, to insure the punishment of their crimes. Strange as it niay api.ear, the Prince of CONDE is now preparing an a%.count of all the re markable traits iu the conduct of General MOREAU, (VihiCh came to his knowledge when his Serene Fiightiess cona• mandett the corps of Emigres opposed to MOREAU ' ) to be mentioned in that oration. • The opinion of Mott EAU, that the peace Of Europe and the repose of mankind, could be limited only by the re-ev• tablishment of the Bourbons, was fully known to the people connected with him and his_ family, even previous to his appearance on the theatre of war ; in 'fact it had ht eu bi• . leading principle throughout his career. Long before it was Ittrtyw a. • te was coming to Europe, a conversation took place • between t he two celebrated ladies Madames de Stael and Moreau, of • which one of our friends was present, on the means .4 restoring order . ' in France and pewee in Europe. Malltnie DE STA EL, with her usual experimental' taste for . political con:titivions, expressed her - opinion, that a Dica'or was absolutely necessary in France, which wanted a strong Covernment, ..7nd that her husband wfts de• signed by public opinion fortgat important station. To this Madame MOREAU answered, elnitkas far as she knew Ge- . ineral MOREAU'S o p inion , in which she humbly but per. Meetly coincided, the General knew but one way to re-es ..tablish order in France and in Europe, and this was to re -establish the Buy RBONS• This conversation assumes an additional degree of im. portance, :from the circumstance of its not being thee known that Gem Moreau intended to visit Europe again. After thus having paid to the memory of this Comioander o the tribute which we owed to' his virtues, our attention la - nattmaily directed to the interesting companion which flea yen had marked for him. Bleeding under the terrible blow which has deprived France of it. Deliverer, and Europe of its Hero, Widanie Moreau has beheld, with uncommon magnanimity, the clqse of those brilliant prospects which the genius of her hus band, and the marked confidence placed in him by the Al lied Powers, had put almost within her reach. Rising su perior to the calamity which weighs upon her. she seems to feel only for the evils to which this unhappy event way again iexpcse her country, and for the sorrows of an unfortunate in ince, in whose glory all her other affections are lost. Surrounded by sincere ft iends who shale in her sufferings, the attempts to smother her grief, in order to lessen the weight of the anxious cares which the interest she inspires 'has imposed upon them; and when shrinking into herielf she fathoms the craving void which the Supreme Being • has made in her breast, religion alone offers her the nieans of resistin most unda , Next T' Sec vice w ig the pressure of evils calculated to subdue the Rimed souls.
