The homage paid by the men of this world involuntarily to virtue , ib seen in the endeavour to reconcile their conduct with those principles , whose breach by others they animadvert upon with the utmost * £ yerity . The coeduet of Buonaparte towards Spain is reprobated
with great justice by all parties , and the bravery of the Spaniards has been by no persons so loudly praised as by , the worldly politician . But nqw comes a difficulty : for in the ar-rattgemeots of the present
crisis it ^ ras thou gh t neeessary , tfant Norway should be transierred from its former sovereign , and be placed q » der the dominion af Swe-| eju ^ jln tl ^ e txecation of this tra ^ rfer th « consent of the Iking of Denmark was obtained , and he
absolved his Korwegian subjects from their oath ofallegiance . So far it may be said a sovereign jway ^ o «^ He » iay abdicate his throne , * * &r give Up ttie ptfwer of ruling over > l 'lk ^ i ^^ bf h ^ ^ idMect 6 ; this he may the

The act of the king < $ Pejui ^ arfc : is no less under compulsion thau that of the king of Spaia , and ' ) w gave up part of his dptrunicHis to preserve the rest . Bqt the
Noiiwegia « s have taken a di ^ ferer&t course from that of Spain ; they have assented to his abdication , but declined to receive the i ^ v s ^ r ^ - reign , in whose favour iit was made r and seem resolved to have a king of their and to
