To each of these churches is annexed the name of the minister , whether Pasteur or President . At Paris the proportion of Protestants must be very inconsiderable . Besides two Lutheran ministers , before mentioned , there are only three ministers of the Calvinists , M . Marron , President , and Messieurs Rabaut Pomier and
Monod ( p . 854 ) . There is no account of any collegiate institution belonging to the Calvinists , except that the minister of Montauban , M . Froissard is described as " President and Dean of the Faculty of Theology" in that city .
From the third Section , which places Jews on the same level of toleration with Christians , we learn that A central Consistory is established at Paris , and twenty-two Synagogues in tbe Empire . ( P . 271 . )
The places where these synagogues are formed then follow , with the names of the Grand Rabbins and Lay-Members . Such was the example of religious
forbearance proposed to Imperial France in this seventh Chapter , which brought together , equally controuled indeed , yet equally protected by the government , Men of all climes tbat never met before
And all persuasions too : a chapter , a& little likely to be imitated as that France should become again Imperial . Before we finally quit this last Almanack , presented to the Emperor
and King , we cannot help noticing a short passage which now only serves tq display the vanity of human expectation . At p . 853 , we are informed that " Par Decret du 20 Fev ~ tier 1806 , T ^ g lise de Saint Denis est consacrees a la sepulture desEmpereftrs . " B y a decree of the £ Otb Feb .

1806 , the Church of St . Denis is re-e served for the burial-place of the Em-iperors . Alas ! the Imperial burial-Jplace will now , to all human appear- rance , be found on that remote rockk
which British magnanimity has aswsigned for Napoleon ' s prison , where e he who gave law to Kings and Em , - perors , in their capitals , must be con- - tent to receive the accommodations of *
existence , as a princely boon Till all Atrides be an empty shade ! We never offered the homage of unqualified applause to the late Emperor while he was seen to " ride on the high place * of the earth , " nor will we join the vulgar herd , in court or city , who " watch the sign to hate , " and would insult over his fall . Those who have been accustomed to —drop the man in their account And vote the mantle into majesty ,
cannot fail to maintain an unappeasable quarrel with an upstart , •* ennobled by himself , " un homme de rien , as Father Orleans styled Buchanan , though obliged to confess quil Stoit homme d * esprit .
" There is no person more odious than the man who makes himself greatly eminent * It is a sort of tacit reproach on the rest of the species : and every one feels his own meanness the more
sensibly , when he looks towards those exalted geniuses , who have gained a superiority over the rest of mankind . " ( Spense on Od . PrefiJ The future historian of these eventful times , free
from the passions of a contemporary , and possessed of documents now inaccessible , will best decide how far that odium , so justly felt by . regular governments , contributed to form and cement a ^ confederacy , the
result of which has closed the public life of Napoleon , probably for ever . That extraordinary man such an historian will scarcely fail to represent as an instance , not more remarkable , of unstable fortune , than of human
inconsistency ; a Genius bright and base , Of tow ' ring talents and terrestrial aims . Yet , amidst the inexpressible miseries , felt or feared , during the last
twenty years , under the pitiless dominion of the sword , it became the friends of virtue and a / hunum , bliss to rejoice that the ambition of a military Chieftain had , on some very important points , a reforming tendency . E « p <* -
