BUONAPARTE.

Captain Farrell, arrived at New York from St. Lucar, says that by the last advices received from Egypt, Buonaparte had fallen a victim to the treachery of the natives, and the fragments of his army were put to the sword. If this news be true, the fall of this bloody freebooter proclaims its peculiar and distinctive justice. Buonaparte a victim- to treachery ! The monster then has met with his equal. It was by treachery he obtained the strong fortresses in Piedmont --by treachery he over ran Italy-by treachery he deceived the Pope--by treachery he overturned the republic of Venice by treachery he expected to have conquered Egypt and Palestine-and by superior treachery the monster has at length been slain !-How many striking proofs of a Supreme Providence have we beheld, in the exemplary punishment of some of the most distinguished heroes of the French Revolution-cut off by superior dexterity in the very crimes for which themselves were the most infamous! " That measure that thou metest to others shall be meted to thee again."

This is a law of the highest authority, and although the French atheists have excluded its divine author from their religion, he still watches all their movements, and marks all their crimes ; and their punishment is often distinguished by such strong and appropriate characters, that " he that runs may read."
