No, indeed, Germany has deserved a better fate for its fidelity and for the great energy it has display ed, than to be deprived of its freedom as well as its trnilg, of its history as well as its constitution, and vow last of all of its security for the future. ft has suffered itself to be stripped of the one after the other, and hoped with the more confidence for the last, in order with It to gain the other, or at least a quiet field for its internal improvement ; if this last expectation were disappointed, what would then be left worthy to excite an interest in the people, and to uuite its power in one great im pulse ? The least that could then be done would he to re. ceive the messenger of such, a bringer of bad news, and to tuna the nest mmiereiteruf thasitteet battle into a day of mourning, to let no 'fires glow upon the hills, that the profound silence - and darkness might announce the gloomy silent grief of the natio'', as the flames before aunounced their joy and their hopes. But let nobody fancy that such a glaring imposi tion shall ever become matter of history and valid iu the eyes of God, and the old saying become new again ; all is nothing that does not repose en the ba sis of justice anti truth, and all must be done over again that is not done well. So it has happened once.

The meeting of the Chambers is looked to with some interest, and it is said the Sovereigns will not leave France until the spirit in which they ap pear disposed to act shall be ascerteintd. Hitherto they idolised the Duke of Wellington, chiefly from the good conduct of the British army, but I think, in some measure, from their dislike to the veteran Blucher ; at present they talk of both with equal in. 1 temperance; indeed there is scarcely a public man, either French or foreign, whom they do not hate at this moment. It is a source of real distress to a Frenchman to have no person upon whom to exercise his propensity to mean adulation ; one of his first wants is the " bend* . de camper." They use the most insulting language to the English soldiers in the streets, probably because they know that their lan : guage is not understood. Of the Prussians they are in much greater dread. rt.

We have just received the Paris Papers of W nesday last. The Gazelle Officielk confirms some of the appoint.. ntents formerly mentioned, and fills up others , minor importance. It is evident from the articles in the Paris Pal that an explosion is expected in the capital, and insurrection is spreading rapidly through the &pa, 'meats. Prussian troops are still approaching Paris. They appear to have been driven out of Britt, 'and Normandy. At Mintz they were violently tacked on the 17th, and apparently made sensible the sovereignty of the people, and this in a closelybordering on the most loyal districts of Prat It will be recollected that the Papers of Monda; (iced the non-arrival of the Nests Courier, as as those of Brest and Valenciennes .
