The terms of the Treaty about to be concluded between Fiance and the Allied Powers, form one ,of the most interesting topics of . political specula-: tion, a'nd one of the most general causes of corn-. 1 mercial anxiety.. It is oftenaptid - by some of the I r periodical di spepseMof. political . wisdom, to infuse I I.into the -pnblic r ota ta,il t roug apPiehension lest the terms granted to France should prove so favourable l to that country, as to lease her, in possession oil power to disturb the future 'tranquillity of Europe. This attempt is one of the most absurd and malig. tient we have ever had occasion to notice. It can have no other object than to perpetuate' the hostile feelings of this country towards Fettnee„ and to nrevent the people . .from Indulging those ,'stintir• ments of security and confidence,. Witting 'which' peace itself is -scarcely desirable, and lan, never be permanent. Security and confidence may go to a dangerous extent in the disposition of a Go. vernment—in the popular temper of a nation they . seldom can.' Any needless attempt to eradicate of weaken those feelings in the popular mind , we look, upon with detestation, because, in proportion to its success, it must defraud the people of the comforts and advantages of peice, and disposethem to re sume With alacrity an attitude of war. The party-.- a party by no means feeble, which would rejoice in the speedy reneaal of the war with France, cannot, at the present moment, do move towards producing it, than to instil into the breasts of the people suspicion, jealousy, and fear of the pouter of France. —This, the utmost they cats do, they appear deter mined not to neglect. They anticipate the moment when they mai' itt do so with any effect. So restless said envoi) , are they, from the prospect of a pa. cification • detrimental to their interests, that Skop , • *Cannot wait .for an opporrooliy of i ns utuadng atonal enmity, they <streak:lv the course of events, they moron the progress of distlosores, and they preach the doctrines of hostility upon hypothesis and eons jecture. "If France should obtain such or such compensations," say . they, 44he will be an abject of apPrebension."." If eise;,ll not restrained within such a boundary, on.titis side—if she does ant sur render such or snob 'fortresses on that,—if suck .a: colony be restored to her, ot such a branch of trade be permitted, the peace of the world cannot be deem.' ed secure." To the disordered awl fevesish anxiety,; which some of our contemporeries thus attempt to; communicate, we think we furnish an ebutitla tit c00n.,, teraction when we remind them of a fact whichoppears to be almost forgotten, viz. that the Allied troops are, at the present moment, in military p.osession ` l 4 a great part of France, and that she fides not posieis the power of forcibly expelling them. If the obvious motives of the alarmists prove their matignattry, the . circumstances out of which alarm is attempted twilit produced, is a still more striking proof of their rol' When has a country, ocropied by foreign • been known to conclude a Treaty with the on. lions to which these troops belonged,' ,astioitty profitable to her, and detrimental to Nowt — The balance of power, amongst the &roman Stets:i f rosy be in danger; the . Allied Soseroigias may dofest,i, ! ercise the soundest discredit'', in theiaalrangenteet at the eptlitions . of peace; but assuredlyl we are stet warranted by any historical toiperieno to @prebend, 1 -that if they do err, their error will eensht in grant. tog terms to Frince more fivourableiban she ought,, to receive. If, in Apoplettitude of power which they ; now possess, fear was expressed lest they might for get their former professions of moderation, and thus stain the sacred character of their cause "end degrade the dignity of thi'Monarchical character, •at theme* time that they endangered the political structerb of urope, by weakening one of its maia pillars; in this epprekension there might indeed be some reason, this would not be inconsistent with all former experience, nor With the uniform testimony of history.
