France. The Royalist party bud not known how to th fend their princes, and the Iteptiblicans recover( d front their errors. woald see in the Emperor the protector of liberal ideas. The* Emperor cr.utos on the intelligence of the assemblies to bring it c constitution to perl.etion. The national character which repels the idea of enntpiet is sutEcient gnaranlee to Europe. The ambitions views of the Allier, and their refusal to treat, resemble the time of 1;92, when the Duke of Brunswick pahlished his proclamations.
