Raving received no French Papers since yester day, we are left to conjecture on the momentous events now passing in France. As the Emperor NAPOLEON was to receive Deputations from thi Le gislative Bodies,. his stay is the capital would, in all probability, be prolonged until Saturday or Son day. Ile spirit of devotion.- shown to him by the Chambers of Parliament and the People of Paris, cannot bat conduce to make his mind easy as to the safety of the capital in his absence ; and if be now takes the bail, it will be with mental and Phieical energleaat command, not inferior to my proofs of power and ►igour be bas yet e►inced. We neither can nor will shot our eyes to truths so palpable as those wbieb France is now again disclosing, under the imaginations which the threats of foreign 'ma sseuses have created. The lessons of experience are written ie dreadful chasacters—why is it that Sotireigns slam cannot read thew ?—We can not reek the cradle of our nation's peace and safely ea the b►ink of an abyss, which threatens to engulph all Europe, without being ali►e to the aaniec....wee cannot see as an be rs of national hate,and the lnentlageishable spark which eaters has given to bar children ► ie all dimes and ie all ages, for their peneersetion, voluntarily and wantonly fanned into a cementing II aims, and gi►ing earnest of its condi graiing pewee, without fakir* oar warning ♦oice, and blaming the delusion which would cover danger, misery, and destruction, with the veil of fßlsehood, till their 'kliegs were irretrievably lost. The Tar- peian rook itself, struck by the hand of tyrannic power, emitted $ spark that destroyed the line-ties of eke Willi. This spirit the foreign Sovereigns, who, antler the pretence of deliverance, have trodden don n, sod booed ia fetters of iron, the countries which they haw overcome, and are now threatening to treat Franco u the last of nations—this spirit the foreign subjugator* have again awakened in France, by the bare glitter of their hostile steel ; and we fear Vot to say that the attempt which would be at into im potence the human mind throughout that vast and en lightened empire, the centre of civilization, must be as hopeless as it is wicked, and must end in the ri vetting of those chains of conquest on the invading Powers which they have shown so much inclination to impose on the French people and the rest of the world. But whilst we blame those imprudent de. nnociations, and those menacing combinations of the hostile elements, which, in imagination, have already devoted France to subjugation or destruction, let us do justice to the present conduct of the threatening Powers. They have not yet entered France, and some there are who, in spite of all they hear and see, maintain the opinion that the Al. lies will not attempt to enter that country, at least until an attack shall be made upon them. —We hear that the Doke of WELLINGTON has expressed an inclination not to advance; but this may be solely owing to his conceiving that he is sell deficient of the means of insuring success, and the determination to remain on the defensive may Only hold until the long expected armies from Russia shaU add their nomberless cohorts to bis own. These wr are told cooties, to arrive on the Rhine, and shall observe incidentally, that it is confirmed that, the French General BEILTUIZI met his death lookii at.thom from a window io Bamberg, while on thi marts to desolate his Bathe country.
