chivalrous princes dropped on our planet a hun-

dred years after date—

"Like a star disorbed."
With the French, England could maintain the
closest alliance through all time: No two nations
on earth could minister more largely to each
others wants. Mark the increase which has taken
place in the revenue of France, after every modi-
fication which has been made in her restrictive

commercial policy. Look at the _excessive amount
of capital she has obtained in this country, for
railways, commercial enterprises, and national
loans ! England has been benefitted equally by
the confidence the French have placed in our
political changes, national honour, commercial
foresight, and integrity. What then can disturb
this mutual weal, and arrest the growth of their
present friendship, and spirit of reciprocity ? Will
diplomatic intrigue, or political ambition, pit
itself against those material interests, and com-
mendable feelings of mutual good will, which ought
not to be broken in upon, and which can only be
interrupted for the pleasure of re-establishing
them ? Such ideas may be thought out of place,
and appear somewhat more than speculative ; but
the most accomplished French diplonu-tte has told

us to " treat our friends to-day, as though they were

to be enemies to-morrow

And as politics on

the Continent are said to be exhibiting much of
this dangerous doctrine, it is, perhaps, as well to
ventilate them. Moreover, it is necessary to note,
with care, the political school into which
the future ruler of France has been born. It has

been the peculiar misfortune of princes, particu-
larly those of modern times, that they have fol-
lowed closely in the footsteps of their fathers, with
as much determination and perseverance as the
sons of the alibanic lords of Lancashirehave taken
to the spindles and looms of their enterprising
parents. An inheritance is worth little when it is
not put to proper uses. This axiom applies
with equal force to both prince and peasant, and
let us hope, in all sincerity, that the Emperor
NAPOLEON will devote his first paternal care to the
future ruler and hope of France, which an all-
seeing Providence has committed into his hands.
Let him throw his shield between him and design-
ing monitors, and guard him from all political
infatuation, vain-glorious ambition, and that
unbridled love of absolute domination which is so
ill adapted to the world as it is, and, will as all
Christians trust, continue to progress in enlight-
enment, peace, moderation, and Constitutional
Freedom. Men who oppose themselves to the
fervent desires of their times, isolate themselves
from the great family of mankind, and are sure
to "pick themselves up " on some alien shore
or barren rock,

To avoid such terrible mishaps there is but one
straight and onward course open to the rulers of
this age. Civilised nations are startled to find
that through neglect little more than a tithe of

their entire numbers can read the Divine laws
which have been written for their salvation against
all wrong, or write their names in their national
alphabets. This diabolical crime—this heinous
sin—is, however, about to be grappled with, and
long ere the Son of France ascends his throne, a
change will have come over the face of Europe
which will call for still greater wisdom, and
moderation, in governing and guiding its destinies.
As education spreads, the vices of the masses will
disappear, and the follies and. wickedness of the
few

will become all ' the more painful and
intolerable. It is madness then to look back
except for beacons to guide us through the future.

Council must not be taken from those who in the

exuberance of their wisdom forfeited their rich
heirlooms, and left the world without tie

consolation of knowing that what
did was right, while they were fully alive
to the fact that the means they employed to attain
their ends were manifestly cruel, unjust, and
wrong. May the young Imperial Prince of France
not be brought to tread the dark, crooked, and
rugged . path of 'the past, but to walk with
a firm foot, on the straight and onward road which
we all hope to follow, as the way to peace, great'
uess, and immortal renown. Liverpool, we are
proud to say, commemorated with becoming loyalty
the birth of an heir to an Allied Crown, by a dis-
play of colours, which soon became very general. And
while we have every reason to believe, that at the
end of the next one-and twenty years France will
not be found to have retrograded in civilization, it
is hoped that the BONAPARTE dynasty may be
said to have kept pace with the advance of -
amelioration, and in all that concerns the welfare
of the human race.
