PAilitFxs. A.

Depend upon it, Old England enjoy., after all, a greater
share of liberty—infinitely greater—than is retained in
any other nation in this earth beneath. A state of des-
potism, even in the somewhat purified condition in which
it exhibits itself here, is *till humiliating. But the Parisians
present an odd compound ; a thoughtful and restless, mixed
up and moulded together with a song-singing and submis-
sive population. But time and events, depend upon it, will
ere long assort them and array them regularly to the
right and left, in which cue, it is easy to prophesy what
turn affairs will take.
Messieurs Leliere and Jarden, proprietors of a magazine
of Noureaat;s at the sign of the Iron Mask, Rue Coquil,
liere, were yesterday brought before the correctional police,
for abusing a lady, who presented herself at their shop;
they were found guilty of the charge, and condemned to
pay a fine of a 100 francs, and to pay for printing twenty
copies of the judgment, to be pasted on Mr walls of Paris.
It hat think you of this? If you were to follow this
precious preceJent in London, what a fortune it would be
to the bill-stickers! . . .

The subject that principally occupies the attention of
all parties at the present moment, not in Paris only, hut
in all the departments of France, is the approaching
elections. Ministers have sent forth their circulars, filled
with promises, threats, and injunctions ; no effort to cajole
or to intimidate is omitted. On the other hand, the Con-
stitutional party hove girded up their loins, determined to
give battle; hostile preparations arc making ouboth sides.
No means are left untried to influence the electors, and
every obstacle is thrown in the way of those whose votes
are not secured, by snaking frivolous objections to the,
written formalities required from every elector before his
vote eau be received as valid. It is for the purpose of re-
lieving the perplexities to which all this gives rise, that sn
uses has been opened in Paris, as I told you in my last,
le Boreaa de aanaltation, where every information relative
to the certificates is given wall applicants, gratis, and all
defects of omission are supplied. A letter inserted in 1' Ame
de lu Charte, of Pay de D6we, remarks, that, " as for the
Constitutional electors, their choice is made:" there is no
occasion that they should meet to concert together for the
purpose of Securing unanimity in this respect. Since the
Jut elections, in, which they failed by one voice only, tl ey
have firmly resolved to preserve their suffrages for M.
GEORGE L• FAYETTE, the worthy heir to the virtues of
the friend of the American Washington, and the veteran
usertor of the freedom of the French nation.

There 'ream nothing but counter-struggles going on in
the political world. The shrewder part of my countrymen
on your side the water will not, I think, fail to observe
that the system of modern Princes bas taken a new turn.
They were formerly jealous of each other's power, and
took mums! precautions against any new accession of.
authority and influence: but ever since the purlilion
P:and—the most barefaced act of imperial tyranny, by
the way, that history has upon record, and to which, be it
remembered, Russia, Austria, and Prussia, were the par-
ties—the blessed members of the Holy Alliance! the three
" Angels of Ldemption," that have bound themselves
in solemn compact, by indenture tripartite, to give
relieion and liberty to all beneath the moon—the three
high constables of Europe, that are to prevent the lesser
powers from breaking Me King's peace, in any of the po-
pular dominions within the reach of their bin+ and holy
authority—but a truce with these potentates, for I should
kni w no end of digression ;—I was saying, that it cannot
hate escaped the observation of the thinking classes of
men, that the Sovereigns of Europe have at length
changed their mutual jealousies for a general collusion,
and that instead of keeping watch over each other to pre-
serve the. holorree of power, they are combined for a general
,elension of it. Their great obj of concert and co-ope-
ration is to keep down the liberty of Me people, and to afford
to each other reciprocal military aid, when any attempt
is made, In the respective dotninions of either, to establish
anything like a free Cotstitution. This is the simple and
the sole object of the Holy Alliance. That all civil insti-
tutions should be made practically subservient to the
public good, is with them a sentiment not t.r be suffered.

" Th' common faith of many mode for oar,"
is alone to be inculcated hereafter as the orthodox creed.
I was present the other day at the trial of Broehetti,
die Italian, who attempt/11 the assassination of the Greek
priest [sachems. The ('ourt was crowded to suffocation.
