,„ • seithin ‘ my knowledge; 1 prik7st agft'List extracts withont date, a:id mangled from the hotly of the lett er : 1 r e peat, that, as an Engli , shman, I bad a right to communicate my political ,opinions to my fellow•conutrymen, anti that I ant an enc to toy the system now established in Europe, so dettimental to the interests, the honour, and the constiitti of my country declare that do not rec ollect the passages cited ; but these very ppassages only announce what I think wil l still bsppen in France ; the • . appeal is not to the French people, but to all the people of Europe, in support of the principles I have just an nounced. Q. Why, if you have no desire to interfere in the altairs of France, do you announce so ardent a wish to introduce there, and to cause to .he translated into Fi'ench, the political articles of the Edinburgh Review P---A. r don't knew that fever expressed this wish ; but the work being written by the must enlightened men in England, kind containing an abstract of all the books that are published there, I may have desired to see its ch . culation in France,-at the request of many of my friends. Q. These articles contained political principles, 'which; according to your own admission, could ~: s tot. be circulated except by. manuscript" copies, which for this reason would not produce so notch good as might have been hoped from their publi. ration. - By these words, " so much good," did you - not mean the agitation of men's minds, and the circulation 'of ideas dangerous and subversive of - goverimmut ?—A. First, England would not permit the publication of a work which contained dangerous / principles ; secondly, the Edinburgli Review is not confined to politics, and, besides, '.appears only qua' terly ; thirdly, as an English man, I have heen brought up in the opinion that political discussions produce no evil, and are the . s o ul of tempered liberty and public good. Q. Can you explain the nature of the extraor dinary events ye a r announced we should soon hear spoken of tu Germany The judi cial curiosity of France ought to coinfine itself within thc limits of its own territories ; besides, I cannot answer withoOt seeing the pieces trom which these expressioni are taken : so far from dreading, 1 even solicit publicity, provided it be of .the whole that I may have said or wraten. Ellie accused maintains that his answers eon fain the truth ; he perasts in them, and, Mt their being read, has signed them with us and the clerk, wind has also signed and inscribed with a Ise varie- . tar the two letters which we have shown to him.

EIGHTH iNTEIIRQuATORY.-fr. 20. • Q Do you recognise, as having ,written them, the three letters Itinow show to you—one dated the 6th of last'December, the otbet tae 28th of the same mouth, and the third toe 6 t h of last battery ; and do you consent to sign and inscribe them with a ne vartetur P—A. Renewing my first protest 'against this interrogation, and my complaints against the crimes committed by theGoverament tor the purpose of corrupting my domestic, and violating the sacred secrecy of let addressed to trjemis, I do recognise the three letters shown to the. being iwriiten a< 'he time when the city or i'aris %vas occupied by :hc Allied Armies, and principally by the English troops, and containing the news and reports circulated in diplomatic and military societies, not obtained in any secret or unwarrantable manner, and only written with the intention of giving my brother anti Lord Grey interesting 'accounts, which they would sooner or later have received by the News papers. I consent to sign and inscribe them with ne varieiur, 9. It is no business of rnineto examine here the merits, of the complainti that you think you have a right to make'on the violation of the se crecy of correspondence, or to explain the means by which your letters may have fallen i n to the, hands of Government ; but I ask you, if a person has any rig pt to complain of the neglect of ordi _nary rules,-when he uniy himself be saspected of having broken through them ; if the Government is bound to respect .t be correspondence, of a min, when there is reason to believe he regards not the repose of Government ; of a• man, whom it may in some sort accuse of having violated the laws of hospitality: I Would ask you, if, in such an exigency, it has not the same right as every private Individnal—the natural right of defence ; if it it,. in fact, more to be blamed -that') one who, when his life is attacked, employs in defence the same Weapons as his aggressor, although such as are prohibi . ed in ordinary cases ?—A. The Government oirght at once to he the protector of law and them). sport of ; but it cannot commit a greater ant rage on them than in suborning a domestic, anden .g,►giuk hitti , bybase reward to violate his dutytowards Iris master. I4ut, in truth, the fruit of this crime 'lots been nothing more than the discovery of some private letters, - written, perhaps, with tiOnle in discretion, inasmuch fts the news witieli they 'transmitted was not well ascertained ; but whist' ought not to give umbrage to Govcrnmentl they did not expose it to any danger, considering that, there was no mention of any thing that was not Ole subject of public conversation, and pro bably repeated,in all the letters addressed to Eng land. . . Q. But did not you add to these public reports your own private sentiments? Did not you even tidier to appear a want of respect,tor the person of the King, in saying, for example, I'. Lord Wel lington, seeing he could .no longer support the idol lie had raised 1" &c. Do you not admit that this expression could only have been employed in degrading-sense, and in a sort of irony itnurions to his Majesty 1-7 A . Yirst,theliing of France is not my seenntllY, lmay make use of the saute expres sions iu speaking of the King of England, wait uny offence or crime, supposing an ironical . idea were attached to them ; th i rdly , I will not enter into any discussion on private letters inter cepted in the manner I have reprohateil. I - wrote what I thought, not what I did. 1 cannot be .prosecuted for my credulity ; but 1 may reproach inyselt with having written anecdotes compro , mising other per Sons on mere reports without having ascertaiued their 'truth ; and 1 further re veat , that ihc letters were addressed Jo my brother laid Lord Grey, whom I considered as my most iutiwatt fritud, and the ulosciliscret of tuen.77 TO prOv‘t tit at I tvas not rue tha iyi:trA, of exerting — tnyself against are Government, it will be sufficient to read one of the paragraphs of my letter of the 28th of December last, conceived in these terms I seldom go out to appeur in any public society, and it is full six weeks since 1 have been any where but in the society of my best friends." And these three letters, taken together, cannot but prove the truth of my preceding answers. that is to say,that Vwasintlignant the infraction of the Couveetiou that I wished publicity to the discussions of Parliament, in order to instruct the people on the Coetineet ; and that A thought a throne planted on foreign bayonets stood in great danger of falling, inasmueli.asjt did not take its natural basis in a system of clemency, ass(' respect for good faith. As an Englishman I had a right to express myself thus, particularly tinder actual circumstances, when the re-establisholent of the King was our own work. Q. How can it be believed that these expres• sious were suggested to you by it. simple idea of foresight, when, in your letter of the 28th of last December, you "libinte your Government for its fear of compromising the cause of the Bourbons and that of legitimacy in general r and that, in another passage a little below, you speak " of one of your triends who had exhausted your patience, because," say you, " he is become a legititnacy maniac ?"—A. First, 1 will not answer a French fnuctionary on the subject of my observations on I the English Governmeet. Secondly, I bad a right to call an Englishman who adopted the doctrine of legitimacy. either a fool, a nsanittes or a Irtli• tor, because he outrages the very principle tinder which the House of Brunswick reigns in Eng land. Thirdly, lam delighted at having this op 'portunity ; of repairing publicly, as I have al ready done in prisate, the wmong thus offered to this friend. Q. Your answer does not embrace the whole question I . put to you, and which had for its ou ject, not only your observations on the.cause of legitimacy its genesis!, but also those that applied , to the cause of the Bourbons iu particular.-4. 1 have already explained myself ou my politics, apd my determination not to clotr into any dis cussion on detached passages, of which time sense; considered separately and by other persons than those to whom they were addressed, might re ceive an interpretation different lions my meaning. • Q. But at least there are some passages, the sense ut which it is impossible to mistakt : thus. for example, when, in this letter or the 6tlt of December, you announce changes in the French Governmein, saying, " affairs take a torn ei,ite counter-revolution:li y," is it poNsihle to doubt that you called in question the , legitimate midst). rity of the King, and twit you reghriled it,as be ing only established on a principle •of violence and 'evolution'? —A. I shall not enter . a grammatical discussion which might lead us too far ; but 1 will : fitatskly say, anti 1 hope for the last thee,. that I. have always considered the:King of France as re-established by force ; and that, as an Englishman, I do not respect Wilt Is called , the legitimacy of sovereigns, when not sanctioned by time people. The word counter revolutionary, whicb I have used, was nut applied to this legitimacy, but to that, change which, ac -ooreiing to my opinion, and on the bestiot my'in telligence, was desirablean opinion in, which almost the whole ot England at this moment coecturs.
