There rem tin for our considered** other
means employed by Bonaparte for buildiog
up anti establishing his power, of a different
character from those we hate mined, and
which on this occount we cannot pars with-
out notice. One of these was the Concur-
dat, which he extorted from lb. Pope, And
which professed to re-establish the Catholic
FTISCP,, who, in her madness and folly, •
plaesidter happiness in conquest, now felt
tilt the glory of her arms was safe only in
the hands of the Fast Consul : whilst the
*eatery, who held the sceptre in their gift,
became more thoroughly satiafied, that
triumph and epode waited on his standard.
Another important and essential meane of
securing and building up his power, was the
system of espionage, called the Police,
which, under the Directory, had received a
developetnent worthy of those friends of
freedom, but which was destined to be per-
fected by the wisdom of Napoleon. It
would seem as if despotism, profiting by the
experience of ages, had put forth her whole
skill and resources is forming the French
Police, and bad framed an engine, never to
be supaseed, for stifling the faintest breath
into of dmaffectioa, and chaining every free
thought. This system of espionage (we
are proud that we have no English word for
the sidereal mochas.) had indeed been used
under all tyrannies. &it it waited the
craft of FOuche, and the energy of Bona
parte, to disclose all its powers. In the

now simply as an instrument of policy, an
in this light, it seems to us no proof of the
sagacity of Bonaparte. It helps to •confirm
in us an impression, whish no other puts
of his history give us, that he did nut un-
derstand the peculiar character of h e age,
and the peculiar aneoriginel policy which
it demanded. Fie always used common-
place means of power, although the unpre-
cedented times in which he lived, required
a system which should combine untried re-
sources, and touch new !prongs of action.=
Because old governments bad found a con-
venient prop in religion, Napoleon imagined
that it was a necessary appendage and sup-
port of his sway, and resolved 'to restore it.
But at this moment there were no foonda-
tions in France for a religious establieh-
mept, which could give strength and a
character of sacredness to the supreme
power. There was comparatively no faith,
no devout feeling, and still more, no super-
stition to supply the place of these. l'he

ple had'not yet arrived ; and d more likely
means of retarding it could hardly have
