M.

London : LO Nutt. added a preface in which ho explains • a 1 analyses the opinions and defends tho prinoiple • of what he «sliders the only genuine rsdioal policy. We will proceed to give * short amount of the book and its oontents. "There are so many parties in Frames, sad so many di visions in those parties." says M. gimps. "that there 'rarely remains any word in the language of politics which is positively clear . . As in England at the present moment every rotitiad party, and every division of the two great notions of politicians known as conaervative or liberal, all claim to be the only ' true liberals,' so in Prance ' absolu tists,' monarchial*, or Jacobins —who put their system above liberty— and the ultra-liberals, who pot liberty above everything else, claim equally, and with equal rea son, the title of radicals,' whroh signifies, in their use of the word, oimplymea of principle . ." "It iadearable, therefore, to add that the railieslime dismissed in this book is radicalism in the sense of liberty." "Neither in theory nor in practies," M. Simon goes oe to say, "is it safe or wise to hesitate, and the first conditioa for Willing oar duty is to know with reasosable oertainty what that duty is. To believe without understanding is to roams our selves ineer o bleo, and is not belief at all ; not to use our resem is resign its authority altogether. It is both neocesary to know what we do, and why . we do it, what we believe, and why . we believe. It is of tittle consequemoe to me whether the symbol of my politico comes from • prophet , or • tradition, or a ma jority. I only believe what my reason sanctions; I submit to nothbg bat the proof. . . . Prophet, tra dition, majority, must all pain before my reason as their supreme judge." But this haughty resolve of the true " radical," to listen to no authority but reason, must be qualified by obedience to laws established, on pain of his exclusion from all practical action in the improvement or repeal of these laws, and this qualification our author gives us further on in his preface, when be says : In tho society of which we are part we demand before anything elm the right to think and speak ; and as to our seta, we submit them to the general will expressed in the existing laws, provided always that we are permitted to help in the making of those laws, and when those laws !UV establislull we may stall, while obeying them. exert all our efforts to reform them if we think they have need of reformation. In this defence of the sovereignty of reason M. Juke' Simon only follows in the steps of the " doc trinaires." It is due to them to remember that they were the first to introduce and establish this pinciple in France, although they failed in their subsequent conduct to follow its logical consequences. M. Guizot and his school all went so far on the road of radical policy as to maintain that the true legitimate sovereignty was not to be found in the monarch, not in the senate, not in the multitude, but in justice and reason ; not cer tainly the particular reason of one man, but reason in its purity, unalloyed by human passions. It was a great step in political science to show that arbitrary power is not more legitimate in the people than in the prince, but that above the will of the master, whoever he might be, or above whatever body in which the principle of authority might be centred, it was necessary to place reason and right, the principles of liberty. But this point once gained, the problem still remained—to whom belonged this limited sovereignty—inherent neither in prince nor people, but still the only ono possible in civilised human society. In the solu tion of this problem the doctrinaires most signally failed, and the sacrifice of their first principles to the intriguing, mean, and corrupting policy of Louis Philippe, led to the disastrous revolution of li44M. It was not a little attributable to the criti cisms and comments of the men who now form the "little group of radicals" in the Corps Ikgislatif that the government of Louis Philippe was so easily upset. Not that they bad aimed at revolu tion in their writings, for they asked for nothing but reform : (see in the first volume of "Ls Liberte de Penser," "De la Ri-forme Electoralo par Jule.; Simon," published in January, 1861) but because under their scathing rebukes of the gross violation of the first principles of morality and justice by the administration of the Chamber of Deputies. the people lost all respect and confidence in the " Roi bourgeois" It is this same moral point of view which characterises all M. Siincm's disquisitions whether on the conduct and objects of the radical party, or the policy of the present go vernment of France. It is to be borne in mind that the men composing this party have all taken the oath of allegiance to the Emperor, and that it is not a dynastic opposition they represent, but the opposition of independent critics and sworn telhereuts of the great principles of liberty,— rty of confid e nce, liberty of thought, liberty of 'l 4, eh, lil.crty of industry. There must Le certain institutions which " this little group," whose poliey we are now reviewing, are bound to res iset Lye reason of the terms on which they are pe•r ntitte to enter the Chamber, and the discussion of wb ill) i • necessarily protected by thejealotisansiety or tv for the preservutien of public order. Bat all disc ussion m u d opposition within these liillits site alike their privilege and duty. It sub rec. for their justification that liberty and autho rity are not contradictory elements in political rare,seio and they Lave a perfect right to defend tie lip erly of common rights against the encroach ea ids of the Meaty of pri% liege. We will quote Jules Sin.ii's own words in his de,criptiun of his party and its characteristics : The little group which now (April, 1988) forms the op position of the teat (r. i .pout:on de la gauche) is composed of radicals. It is much attacked by its enemies, as it naturally would be, and al , o by its friends, which is about as natural. Their enemies reproach them for making no concessions, and their friends reproach them for makingtoo many. They reply to their ene.niee ever day, as they would reply to their friends, that in all =Mere of principle they defy any one to accuse them of ever de g from those they profess. If they have oc- Cirri voted for measures only relatively liberal, awl neither up to th eir level nor their hopes, it his only bees after defending their own principles openly and fervently, and appealing to their future vindication. They cannot forget that they are bent to the Chamber for political business. and to do their best to forward every measure which tends to progress. They have not sought and obtained their noruiliation of deputies to upend their time in inaction, which would indeed be very comfortable, but very welts& There is a great difference between ac cepting a partial progress and stopping there, which is characteristic of the tier. perti, anal - accepting it only as a step in advance, which is certainly the duty of the radiml party. . . . . To resume our policy we may say—we do not damned all or nothing—we do not call fur liberty entire or not at all. We say, give us freedom everywhere and in all things at once, if it can be done; but if such a full, and complete, and immediate success is impossible, every liberty, one after another, until the reign of liberty has Italy come. Only we do not choose to be duped by words, and as ept for liberties a mere increase of pri vilege,. No reflecting Engll4i reader will object to suelt a statement of principles, and every liberal tiolitieian will rejoiec to see them so nobly applied as the speechee reported itt this volume show them to Le. The same independent action, IL. Jules Simon proceeds to show, guides him and his colleagnes in their refusal of all alliance with other parties in the Chamber, and he says to those less uncompro mising than the opposition de to rtuche: It is by out obstinaey and endurance that we do you ti nest service. We could not, by meeting you half way, give you more than fifteen votes, which would not transform you into a majority; while, by our mordant adherenec to the absolute" we prevent you from being satisfied too ea•ily. We are constantly attracting you to the summits whereon we stand. We put au inflexibility into politics which, without us, would be but the low art of managing Inmanity by taking advantage of its weakneeses. Granted, if you like, that you represent knowledge, moderation, and ability, our function i s n o t the same ; we representun.seiener. Au opposition party, however, must not confine itself to opposition only, or it becomes a perpetual negation. A party really in earnest to promote a certain policy must so define the principles of that _policy, that it may be in a position to take office when called upon to put those prin ciples into practice. But II programme sufficiently explicit and exhaustive of the manner in which its principles are to be applied to existing questions in discussion, and to future questions which time must bring, is not an easy document to draw up in such a comprehensive manner as to insure the unlinching support of the whole party.

Do not wo see liberal legitimists and liberal Jacobins? Is not decentralisation the very mane of liberty according to some, and is it not according to another upon centralisation alone that liberty can repose? ---- - • - - Divided upon so many points it is impossible to concert a programme that will unite all the libe rals in a homogeneous union, " One party, and one party only can have a programme, the radical party, because everything is sample and clear to demonstration in the world of principles. They treat polities as a science; developing- the conse quences of a principle without reference to the obstaakethat Iwo! it ; and _are not diverted from Omer resolu ti on by any Wash interests or any artificial restraints of custom or antiquity. But these advocates of liberty, " just and im partial liberty," are not its fanatical worshippers at the expense of reason and experience. They are the immortal; of order and the authority which insures it. Without a settled and strong govern intuit society could not exist a moment—a merely tolerated authority does not fulfil the oonditiona of its existenoe and always ends in violent excesses. We will quote M. Jules blimon's own words : There are two ways of being violent : —by temperament, or by weakness. If it were only a question of abolishing either liberty or authority, they would be but two ways to do it, and both are simple enough—des potwm, or authority without limits, and anarchy, or liberty without restraint. The science of polys ties really oonsibts in reconciling authority and liberty in • just equilibrium—and the dilferenee of the e third party" and the radicals* that the latter would go to the utmost limits in the limitation of authority. Their formula is not "no action," but " as little action as possible." They are, in fact, the very opposite of anarchists, for they maintain that anthority cannot he strong unless just, and that it is only just when 11ACIMI. hSII7, and within the limits of uneasily. When thelitate donlinds • useless sacrificed liberty, it is not strengthened but weakened, it excites the opposition of reason and right. Thor* then, who endeavour to restrain it within the limits indicated above, are the only true conserva tives. Authority should be stmng but restrained— strong because it is reetrained; the servant of the law, supported by the national sovereignty, it not only derives its authority from that sovereignty, but because it depends upon it. Such a power is the only one of which it can be said that it only limits liberty to make it more efficacious. We pretend that the moat perfect social state is that where authority is most limited, and liberty most cemplete; we do not go Po for os to say that the relation of liberty and authority ought to law the same in every country and at all times. This is philosopical and statesmanlike language, and the practice of the party whose theory of go vernment it deecribes--a government whose i..m atant endeavour should be so to educate its sub jects that the necessity for its interference may grow leas and less. Now, this principle of the least possible exercise of arbitrary power (fa moindre action) being the essence of " La Poli tique Radicals," what should be the doctrine of its advocate. in questions such as these—freedom of the press, public education, right of public meet ing, right of association, religious liberty ? The doctrine should be liborty—juat and impartial liberty—including withdrawal of all prelimi nary authorisation for opening places for religious worship, all State payment of the clergy, and all alliance., with Rome. From the tnumph of the principles of policy here indicated M. Jules Simon regrets that France is still a long way off. The " little gronp of radicals " in tho Corps Ugialatif have three great obstacles to overcome before they can make any way ; them obstacles are, ignorance, bayonets, and isolation. In the speeches contained in the volume we are noticing, the author says he has attacked these obstacles on the principles of the " ecolo radi eak "—the obstacle " ignorance," by demanding tic suppression of all " concordats," by liberty of the press and liberty of private efforts. end, in the absence of sufficieut private action, the assistance of the State, within the reach of every citizeu, rich or po o r, man or woman the '• obltaele I.ayolettr, or military ambition, by the suppres sion of standing anima ; the obstacle " isolation," by demanding us a natural right, anterior and superior to all political law, the right of meeting and association.

Ile asks no indulgence for their werkkne44, of which he hirmelf, he says, -is a seven• and uusatisti judge.'' c have occupied so much of our spare with M. Jules Sitredi's i.n.fav-e, which dbicumics his theory of the " Politique ltudieale," that ace have scarcely room enough to show his practical application of it to the important subjects of his spcssles which all turn upon new measures proposed for adoption by the government to the Chamber. or amend ments to tie .84. 111(118111VS, and to original proplsi flow; for the amelioration of laws already in force. These speeelw. are all characterised by fer►ent eloquence and love of liberty and truth ; but while all pervaded by what he describes in the many noble books he has written on the condition of the working dames (" L'OuvrWre," " ler Travail," " L'Ouvrii•re de Bait Alio," awl others) as his "Wrouement d la dt:mocratie," they are inspired by the highest views of the relstive duties of the State and its subjects, and permit no departure on either side from the positive moral laws of nature and religion. His prevailing ideas are the sacredness of family life, theiroliness of mar riage, the duties of parents, and the helplessness of children; and every violation of these natural tier., and every invasion of the domestic affections by the arbitrary authority of the State, or of society however expressed—in standing armies, for instance, or manufacturing industry—is denounced and exposed, while remedies arc proposed, and alleviations suggested, with uu enlightened wis dom and a meet tender heart. For en illustration of what we mean, our readers will permit WI to quote a passage in one of M. Jules Simon's books not now under our notice. In his work on " L'Hesile," amid dry statistics and scientific discussions of the best means of educating the people and preparing them for the hard struggles of life, his feelings frequently brook out in such sentences as these : UP to this time society has employed all its art to create, in the ink:reefs of children, an a tificial maternity. First, it has invented public nurseries (14 ee,'ehey), which are adnibuble institutions—then intent wheels and mhools for elders. One deficiency alone remains to be filled. The school does not open until /I o'clock, the factory at 6 • leaving two hours solitude mid danger fur the child, and Metres* for the mother. With this exception nothing can be more ingenious than this 'web:mega in vented for replacing nature. No one eon help blessing it, whit n one think:. of the starving and the abandoned. An infant nursery, especially, when well attended to — and they all are so - when managed by an aff ec ti ona t e superintendent, and till of them seem to be so—pus some thing about it that looks calm and fredi, and smiling. Do not ask yourself bow it is that still a profound sadness fills your heart. Ah ! sweet reoollections of childhood, ma ternal ewes, tears wiped away, wise words of tenderness and experience, where are ye r Who will, who ran. ever mestere them to these &solute and disinherited little fines ? And who will teach us, who have a feeLle in- Ammo° upon society, that nature is never replaced, and that in the world of matter and the world of mind all pro inns k. bought too dear, if it makes the least attack upon the eatattl ties of bulkily And in the same spirit, speaking before the ak.erobled representatives of Prance, or railer, we should say, of the Emperor, for the imijoritv only register their master's wishes, M.

If the Emperor has not yet made an alarming speech at Cha'ons, people say he very likely may make one before he heves on Thursday. It has been discovered that, while the Prussian recruits have a respite of three month, which was thought a pacific symptom. the Saxony me:refits, under the t , demand of the King of Prussia, are called out three mouths and a half before the usual time. Uneasiness is felt about the state of Italy. The Censfifetionne/ is instrncted to say there is no truth in the report circulated by a foreign journal, that the Pope's Nuneio has pre sented a note to tho Marquis de Moustier, urging the French government not to withdraw its troops from the Papal States; but at the same time it affirms most emphatically that France has not the slightest intention of withdrau big them. This, coupled with rumours that Italy, backed up by Prussia, is pressing fir their withdrawal, is one among many elements of want of confidence. Letters from Germany continue to express the utmost suspicion of the intentions of Fiance, speak of war as inevitable. Even the partial disarmament of Prussia is construed by a feverish public as a baa symptom, for it is said to be tho preliminary to a demand for ilis ainianient in France. which is curtain tee bee nfured, ur.d tLiz a catastrophe mar b. pmoipi tatt 41.
