The opinion of the wold re foie' od 4 Preys or by big. land.—'Phis is a great truth, whickit is not. perhaps, maklisropes to esatnine in its principle, and to follow. - z ; ,; in its results, Nature herself has made France powerful; asidihis enemies would bait s wished, by mutilating bet; desiroy the of nature. More than once they have attempted to weaken, to overthrew her; more than once weakened themselves by thoal :access of their attacks ; , they have accused her of ambitio. ‘ while her efforts had no other object than that of main. taiping jeer independence and securing her repose. England, which was banished beyond the. botti.• dates of the world, bas seen (thanks to the progress of civilization and industry!) the element which se, parated it from other`nations, becotte the easiest par • ditrrn of co mmunication with them. Weak in bee self, littleTormidahle ertber by her populatiokor extent, ha; laboured in. the dark to increase kir powat.,•• without exciting envy ; the Governments of other States * did not think that their independence would be Menaced by a nation which seemed incapable of invading their territory. On the contrary, they readilyinpposed, that in in creating their communications with her, they should only 'have advantages to partake, and tin risk to run It is in this double point of view that we must consi der the political career of France and at England, amidst . the interests, the passions which agitate the States of Europe, and to follow the succession of fluc tuations wbiCh they have caused the public opinion to undergo. France imprints on her designs the -character cf frankness and of generosity, which is natural to her ; —she seldom conceals her views ; she almost always . goes straight forward to her object. England eas t , ploys in her combinations all means that can lead to success ; too often she employs peace as. a work for war ; the whole extent of her projects is not hnown till they are executed ; she is 'rather dexterous and. craw than strong. The one is seldom seen at the • head of coalitions ; she has sometimes had to support whole weight oftliose inio, which she has • been lest ; andfier fidelity to her engagements has often . ii*posed .on her the sacrifice of her blood, and of her treasure. The other has been constantly the soul of every league, principally of those whose object was the degradation or the ruin of France, smd yet she his"never.hesitated to abandon them, whets her efforts nygeared to her to be abovi i the reward which she ex, ircted from them ; her alliances are comnaertial 4111;r, ;4-Illations, and her merchants know how to bring back' into luir caters, the gold which she pays to frinces fqr the blood of their subjects. If we analyse the consequences of the principles on whit* are founded the systems which bah habitually guided the two Powers; if we follow with an anon , tive eye the -Variations of'the preponderance which they have . exercised over the States which are Within. the spbere•of their activity, we cannot dissemble that France, possessing in herself all the elements of public and private prosperity, has had no difficulty in guard ing herself against a spirit of invasion ; that site has been more frequently engaged in preserving than in acquiring—in repelling, than in attempting aggro, sion ; that even to these latter times, several ages of wars, as one may say, hereditary, have.procnred het, no other advantage than that of recovering two or three provinces, from the earliest tintllS, integral parts of the Monauchy, and which a litigated piiesession had stparAted *QM her, without operating as a prescrip tion against the rights of Sovereignty. F.ngland, on the contrary, having succeeded ia creating for herself by hef industry and her com. coerce a greatness wholly fictitious, was obliged u, support -her power by the same means that she had acquired , The more ardent her ambition was, the more artifices and evasions she was forced to empl ,, y td conceal it's progress, to hide its activity; the more her power pe.sied its natural limits, the more efforts and expence were necessary to support * in her ale vation. Her,precitrions situation led her to study profoundly the nature of her relations with the con tinental powers. She soon saw she could not be strong, except in the weakness pf others, and this knowledge has become the basis of her policy and the invariable rule of her conduct. The eye which is the least practised in penetrating the mysteries of politics, soon perceives this veil of intrigues and ma &nations, the threads of which England holds and moves according to her sole interest, that of impeding the progress of the European - Governments, of stop- 'ping, of destroying the industry of nations, of turn ing aside the chitnnels of commerce, of making Europe retrograde towardibarbarism, in order to en joy alone all the benefits of civilization. These results of her infli on the Continent inscribed tuence are . on every page of our modern annals. We see no wars ,which she has nut ineuenced, encouraged, and main• tabled ;no weak nation which has been safe from r 'attacks; no power which she has not agitated, deceived, betrayed, by rendering it the victin) or ti f i l ustrumeut .of her arnbitious designs. .- , s It is particularly, since the Reve.ution, that the whol.e secret of the pretensions, the projects, the hopv; .of England have been uneeited. Scarcely had our troubles broken out when she herself appeared* 4 'hose which disturbed, and 4,3 most of which she bad
