In order to gaarentets the throne of -France to the present dynasty,--it was-et first proposed that an ar ticle should be added in the Treaty. stipulsting:that in• ease any attempt were made in the course of the fise years to alter the succession - to the throne, the fortresses and territory left in the-occepation of the Allies should be ceded to them in - perpetuity. This being rejected, the article guaranteeing the throne to the reigning dynasty was then proposed. 'The French 'Ministers determining;howefer, that there should be no secret article, and not considering it advisable that such an article should appear in die public Treaty, the renewal of the Tieaty of Chaenient by the Al heti, the note with which it was accompanied, a nd that, notifying the.appoititment of the Duke of Wel lington as Generalissimo of the.

Some one rhea rays, " les crinsinrls d'Etat appartiennent a Print, et le Prince ne peal pardanner." Slate Criminals belong to the State, and the Sovereign cannot pardon them. No soooner was this uttered than the whole house rung with applause, and it was some time before the actors could proceed. A similar sentiment was also eltpr@KllPd in another part, and a similar burst of ap plause followed instantaneously. Dtle AP!' * halts I 0 1 .•... ...... ...

The pro ject was to be further considered -in the 1n..• eau: on Tuesday. This is now the measure most interesting to the French nation with which the Legislature is occupying itself, and one w hick wall prove the touch stone of its strengtb, policy, and•humniiity. It had become imperiously necessary, after the fate of Nee was known, for the Government to specify the extent to which it meant to carry its vengeance- The Constitutional part of the • Ministry, there fore, persuaded the King to send in the pro ject of a Law of Amnesty, making the pro scribing Ordir ance, of the 24th of July, the basis of the exceptions. The pure Royalists, how ever, disapprove of this moderated plan, and cling with eager fondness to the sanguinary law, miscalled an Atnnesty, proposed by the Couut DE LA Betritoost- Paris, We. it. ! wArc.

It was probably some sorb plan as this which was proposed by the French and English Bsulte,s who are said to have Minted to Advance these 700 mi!liens. But u hat Government in France meld escispe ten sure? Such is tilt , situation of this country, that it is Phnom impossible to govern it. It is inhabited by I sit o diiferent Ince% o.f mess—those who have lost - their estates, and those who hare purchased them. These two classes can never come to any reconciliation, and their tisane! will last till one of the two is destroyed in a civil war. The former is truly the weakest. It is computed shot from six to eight thousand emi griuts retained with the King. The others, who since !Flit bore been here, were more (Into recnn. aired to their loss. But their hatred her also revived, no•s that the feel themselves in possession of power.

These Royalists will never rest, but keep irritating the others till they lose all patience. Supposing that things continue as they are during the three years the foreign armies are here, the Rey alist party, as it is in possession of the Goiern !tient, *ill in that time acquire a great accession of stiength; but the hatred of the other party will in crease in the same proportion, and the civil war,' when it breaks out, will be a war of extirpation for the one or the other. It is the greatest misfortune for a nation when tkere is a separation between the possessors of landed estates. A people is never lost so long as they agree. The land and soil constitute the country—the pos. senors constitute the people—and the mere possession of the same territory binds them together. If they happen also to be of the same blood, nothing can separate* them. Our forefathers, the old Germans, framed wiser laws than the Scribes who afterwards governed the world.
