LONDON, SATURDAY, JANUARY 1, 182.1.

it of a New Year seems to require

tlat we should offer sonie observations on the state of

ELrope in general: we may derive much advantage ftom
ccntemplating its present condition ; and we may also de-
rive much light and instruction from considering the causes
which have led to it. It is useful to look at Governments
and States, not as they exist in theory, but as they exist
practically, and in the actual position of the day. Our
limited space will not permit us to waste mt:th in prologue.
We must proceed at once to the subject.
The Revolution in France was destined to change the
face of Europe : and it effected that change in a manner
that has made its return to its former condition and charac-
ter utterly and for ever impossible. The revolt of America,
mei the alliance of Loris XVI. with the colonists, created
it into an independent nation. The French Monarch
was not led to this alliance from any attachment
to the cause of freedom; he had no taste that way;

hut ne hoped, by aiding the separation of the colonies from
the mother country, to humble the pride, and weaken the
rower of Great Britain. But this selfish and short-sighted
policy not only failed of its purpose, but, in its terrible re-
action, it overthrew the throne of the Boriaames, and
brought Louis himself to the scaffold. America, while
struggling into independence, proclaimed exultingly the
principles of natural and political justice upon which she
rested her claims. Eventually she inoculated France with the
revolutionary virus ; she had been gradually absorbing it in
sitahl luantitin ever since the reign of Lours XIV. dis-
tinguished by the revocation oi the Edict of Nantz. This
rleptred gallant had played the part of an absolute Monarch
to perfection : he lived in an irradiation of splendor : his
heartless profligacy had its full swing ; but, at last, his
royal career closed, and the Sergeants at Arms threw their
,white wands upon his tomb, exclaiming in due form,
Dieu cit tame de Lours XIV., Rot raze VICTORILVI!
After his death came the day of reckoning to France : her
show of genius disappeared from the sce,w—her victories
ceased—her industry emigrated—her wealth vanished—the
sparks of the brilliant flame that bail dazzled her, died
out ore by one—the popular discontent went on ripening
uuder the progress of despotism and the pressure of finan-
cial embarrassment, and in this condition of his people it
was, that Louis XVI. mart unwisely drafted his regiments
tMn-erica to fight in the cause of fieedom and indepen-
dence. With what gigantic strides the rerolutienary
spirit stepped across the Atlantic we all know, and
we know, too, how bitterly this Monarch,—the best

of his race, and worthy of a better fate,—repented this
false step, the consequences of which will never be
tetrieved. The result of the active democracy of
France is matter of recent history. It shook the stability

of every Throne in Europe. lint the progress of industry,

wealth, and knowledge, was, in fact, the real revolution: a'
tone of thinking hat got abroad, against which it was no
longer of any avail to lift the sword. The forms of go-
vcirnment and the policy of Sovereigns in every Static, re'
maince—us they had done for centuries—unchanged,
while reason in the bulk of the people bad grown in the
interim to an adult strength. When the republican doc-
trines were circulated by their emissaries throughout the
Continent, they were everywhere successful. The seed was
sown on a soil long before prepared to receive it. It was
on this fact, and wider this conviction, that Ifuo NAPA arc,
—the most extraordinary man certainly, of 113Cmlern times,
