LONDON, TUESDAY, AUGUST 27.

Toe man, Loris Pszurre, expired yesterday at
Claremont. The king,. Louis PaILIPPI, departed
this life some time previous. The latter was a great
vest ; the shuffling off the mere man's mortal coil is
bat a small one. His friend., however, may make
a huge funeral pile of his private virtues, which were
most exemplary in the narrow circle of his friends
and his dep,ndents. Therein, indeed, he kept • kind
of preserve of all the virtues. Bat beyond the do-
main, beyond the paling which immediately sur-
rounded the vicinity of his household, he allowed few
of the.. elites, to stray. And he can, perhaps, be
best characterised as a politician, by saying that as
each he was the direct contrary of what he was as
a pare de jemille.
There is no greater proof, perhaps, of the profound
anintelligence of our age, than the worship which
was paid to him as a politician. Never did Oriental
Brahmins build op for their idol a greater or • blinder
masa of adoration than the priests of European
politics who lead and create opinion in all its capitals,
reared up for Loom Pinurre. And yet this
great idol of the liberal conservatives, as they call
themselves, spent the eighteen years of his reign
astride tte great country oa which he Weighed and
over which be swayed like a nightmare. Throughout
that time not one great or generous idea ever seemed
to have germed in his mind. Of domestic policy,
beyond the cajolery or bribery of • deputy, he had
none. Of the ronditioa, the wants, the economy, the
fermenting minds of his people, neither he nor the
statesmen who served him knew aught. He and
they actually lived and governed over a mese of
volcanic matter in fusion and in ebullition, bat
covered over with certain layers of social
earth, fair and verdant to behold. These
worthies were delighted and contented with
the appearance of the surface, nor ever thought
to sound the depth, to try the temperature, or analyse
the elements of the lava below. Their sole anxiety was
to stop every aperture, and stick their lois de rigueur
in every cranny. By this they merely accelerated
the explosion. And amidst the many phenomena of
that catastrophe, there was none more portentous
than the bursting of that huge bobble, the kingcraft
of Louts Pilau-Tr. _ _

The fact is, the very essence and end of govern-
ment, the development, the foresight, insight, and
eontentment of • people's wants, were utterly un-
known to the Solomon of London drawing-rooms
and Parisian saloons. He believed, with several other
gnat men by the by, that policy meant diplomacy,
and nothing more. As much a legitimist at heart as
CHARLES the SECOND was a Roman catholic, Louts
PHILIPPE felt convinced that he bad filched a
throne, and how to keep his balance there was his sole
object.
Of the soil beneath him he knew little, es we said,
and cared lees. But of the Powers around him is
Europe he wss fully cognisant, knew their weaknesses
and their strength, their prejudices, their follies, and
their magnanimity, where it existed. Amongst these
be played, making use of Englai.d in the first years
of his reign, as the only government that could aid
and favour his parrenu and intent kingdom. As
by degrees, however, he gained strength, years
of possession and prestige, then he lung off the
English crutch on which he leaned, and which
had actually served him as an instrument to subju-
gate Europe north and south of him, Belgium and
Spain, to his wilL Thus armed with the very power
which we had provided for him, he flung himself into
the alliance of the absolutist powers, and was em-
boldened by his friendship with them to play England
and Spain, and his own relative, the young Queen of
STAIN, one of the filthiest and basest tricks that ever
disgraced man or politician. England's disgust was
great, but of course inoperative. But that of France
was equally great, if not against the act, at least
against him who perpetrated it. And never was the
power of retributive justice shown more signally and
awfully than in the ruin of all concerned in the
Spaniels marriage from the suicide of their negotia-
tor BREssole to the dethronement and expulsion of
