Our democrats at length have found out that Buonaparte is a detestable villain. They seldom open their eyes until they find all the world laughing at them. They might have learned from us long since that their beloved Republican had the cause of Liberty and Equality as little at heart as the Grand Turk. Like themselves, like all Republicans, he held his patriotic principles under a very politic curb, however they might lead him to occasional gambols. In the language of an American paragraphist, he drove his steeds into a goodly palace, and stopped.
