The private adrices from Paris of the 19th (the date of the latest received French Papers), inform us, that the British army *ill leave that city in about ten tlays v end that nearly all the English families are taking flight, in the fear of some heavy impending commotion. France certainly once more wears a very louring aspect. The Legislative Assemblies meet on Monday, and may be very loyal from the necessity of rallying round the throne to give energy to the Government; but nobody expects that they will concur in bartering away the liberties and hide ... pendence of the country—that they will pass a vote of approbation on the conduct of the Allied armies, who are still carrying on a war of the most unau thorised sort within the French territory—or that their loyalty will reach so far as to include in their approbation the scandalous outrages, and the many horrible cruelties which have been perpetrated in the South, under the mask of attachment to the King.— " The accounts from the Southern provinces," say the letters, " are so terrible, that the Government here are afraid to publish the Bulletins from Avig non and the Department du Gard, where they have massacred the Protestants without mercy, and, as it should seem, without much interven tion on the part of the Executive Government!!" —This want of intervention on the part of the Executive Government is very easily accounted for. These massacres of the unoffending Protestants have been perpetrated by the armies of furious Royalists and Roman Catholics, raised end orgeoleroi lingo" the banner of the Duke and Duchess of Arroon- Leate; whilst those troops who would have preserved the public tranquillity, and given effect to the orders of Government, have been disbanded, to please the and give the country the better up to subju gation. This measure also has to receive the appro. bation of the national voice. 46 For the first time, since our political (roubles," say the parasite Journals, cc we enjoy a Government purely Representative." Ti i posilve character of a Government, which has! not yt begun to act, is rather hastily pronounced ; but we shall soon see whether it be a true one. Un- ! der vet at circumstances has this wonderful purifies- lion been effected ? In the presence of foreign nr- , Dries, end amidst every token of subjection► and slit very, men can speak freely, and nominate as their Representatives to the National Council, persons who will defend their rights, and rescue their proper.; ties from outrage, and their country from dishonour: in the calm of internal tranquillity, when none but (decay and protecting arms are near, and the coun try and the Monarch have only one object in view, no representative Government, it seems, can be formed or Exist—strange hypothesis ! But illo gical !! as it may seem, the conclusion is in perfect accordance with the premise... " No person ever thought the Government complete under the empire of BotrAraktTE, when the pretended R epresen t at i on o f the Departments assembled. It is well kncovn that the convocation of this illusory Re- presentation,which had been for some time a necessary condescension on the part of the new-born tyranny, I was nothing more than the insulting irony of abso lute power; and that the interests of the people bad ; nothing to gain, whether a ridiculous formality was fulfilled or not. Now, on the contrary, the want of this Co:►vocation has been generally felt, as well by the Ministry and the King as by the people. Thus, it is the Roußau Ns who have first made us ac. quainted toith liberal ideas, and it is by the BOUR. BONS that we are called to enjoy the first advantages under a Constitution which is the work of our King." Except the insulting irony of absolute power, which is now dictating to the King and the people of France, we have not seen a keener piece of irony sent forth than the above panegyric on the new Government of that country. It is the Bounnons who have first made . the French people acquainted with liberal ideas!! In what way has this blessed state of enlightenment been created? By the introduction of a million of the agents of foreign despots, lions and llulam, Pun- R.usians, and Calmuc Tartars ; and by the ,institution of a Deliberative Assembly, selected for -Its devirtiqu to the imposed Monarchy, and chiefly `'l THE STATESMAN. by the Princes of the Blood, The dawn of liberal To nu EDITOR OF THE STATESMAN. ideas, if ee are to expect it from such a quarter, - • .—. 0 0.—. comes strangely -preluded. .
