PARIS, JANUARY 2.

The following Review of the poltticsl aspect of
Europe, during the year 1818, is extracted from
the Jounod des Debais, and bears the signature of
M. M ilte.Bruii

" During three consecutive years peace has
reigned over Europe, but with regard to France it
was still an armed peace; foreign banners floated
on our frontiers, as one might see sparks still glis-
ten round an extinguished fire. This measure of
precaution, sit length deemed superfluous, has
ceased to afflict us. The Monarchs united in the
Council of the European family have received the
wishes of the King of France, presented by the
interpreter most calculated to insure their triumph;
the chivalrous frankness and noble simplicity of the
French Ambits.ailor, by tracing the surest road to
the hearts of the Sovereigns, would have overcome
all the resources of diplomacy, had any disputes
eritam ; and even in the absence of all controversy
on the general principle of the measure, these
personal qualities of the illustrious negociator at
Aix-la-Chapelle, by facilitating the progress of the
discussions, have hastened the moment of the
emancipation of France.
" That moment has not been less tranquillizing
for the rest of Europe than for France. It marked
the commencement of sp epoch wherein Justice,
equity, love of peace, preside in all public Court.
cils ; wherein the Powers publicly disavow that
policy of interest and convenience which rendered
so frail the bonds of treaties the most solemn, and
which, by rendering disorders more frequent, anni-
hilated national sentiment. To respect the inde-
pendence of nations, is to confirm the thrones of
Kings, for thrones exist only for nations, and the
legitimacy of Sovereigns flows from that of the
rople, the possessors from genenitiou to generation
of their patrimonial soil.

" The complete triumph of these principles
would constitute of Christian Europe a federation
of Governments, united internally by inviolable
Cou►titutimn, and externall♦ by the mutual duty
of ■ubtaitting their differences to a tribunal of or-
bitterns; and to a cede of public law. The Holy
Alliance had clearly indicated this object, to which
the European Societies incessantly tend; but a
grand project, to he feasible, requires to become fa-
Hillier to evety mind, and to give rise to other
thoughts, which are its necessary conditions. The
Congress has taken sufficieut care of the wants of
the moment, by establishing the principle of the
mediation of the five great Powers for all those
which will have the wisdom to submit to it. The
premature attempt or an alliance still closer would
have beeii injurious to the fairest hopes of humanity.
" Already the acknowledgment of these princi-
ples has permitted a small State to offer resistance
to greater Powers, winch required the fulfilment of
burdensome Treaties, consented to through neces-
sity or through leer. The Grand Duchy of Baden
had engaged itself to Austria in 1814 to make some
indeterminate sacrifices. Austria had promised to
the kingdom of Bavaria a just indemnity for some
important cessions, and assigned to Bavaria the
cessions due by the Grand Duchy of Baden. The
rigorous right could not be doubtful, according to
the text of actual Treaties, but a regard to the poli-
tical existence of s very weak State, induced Con.
great to propose terms that tended to reconcile all
parties.

" A question much more important remains en-
veloped in darkness. Has Spain obtained any as-
sistance against that portion of her Colonies which re-
mains in a state of insurrection ? No doubt the Go.
vernmeots have the right, as it is their duty, to afford
mutual assistance against rebels. But there is a
scale of duties; those due to their own subjects are
paramount to every thing, and no Government will
proceed to sacrifice its strength and treasure without
a suitable indemnity. Perhaps, also, policy hus
distinguished in Spanish America two spirits essen-
tially different, and which cannot be combated
by the same arms. The buccaneers and the
brigands, who infest certain districts, may racily
be overpowered by Spain, however little the
effort she may make. The Independents, who at
first did nut rise against their lawful King, but
in his name against usurpers, appear more easy to
conquer by persuasion than force. A constitu-
tional charter would confer peace, happiness, and
prosperity to all America ; while the eternal expe-
dition of Cadiz, even if it sails, even if takes
Vilma, Ayres, will not re-establish true tranquil-
lity, nor extinguish the ides, of independence dd.

fused even through the vest provinces where the
loyal majority preserves the Royal standard. Force
can master the present; social institutious alone
can master the futon..
" It is, nevertheless, a matter of great interest to
Europe, to see the troubles of Spiritist' America
cease, in order that the produce of the inexhausti-
ble mines of Mexico and of Peru may be again
regularly turned into the channels of commerce.
The 'cessiitiou of labour in several mines of Mexico
and Of Peru, has perhaps already caused a dim -
trim of a thousand millions in the specie, which, were
it not for this circumstance, would be in circulation
in Europa•. If we add, that we must value at a thou-
sand millions at least the excess of specie inquired by
the prodigious increase of the commerce of the East
Indies, and exported from Europe, it will be perceiv-
ed that neither the activity of commerce, nor the
address of merchants, can balance the consequences
of such • derangement of equilibrium.
" The principles of public right to which Europe
is conducted back by a happy tendency in events,
appeared to be compromised by the conduct which
the United States and Portugal pursued in occupy-
ing, the one Pensacola, the other Monte Video,
under pretexts of precaution, difficult to appreciate
at so great a distance. But these two points beiog
reserved for negociation, will exercise the address of
diplomatists, and not the valour of warriors.
" Thus Europe, with her Colonies, offers no cause
to apprehend the renewal of those great wars which
have agitated, and almost exhausted her; further,
the germs of discord which might spring up will be
stifled by the common interest of five great mili-
tary Powers, who, between them, have more than a
million of soldiers at their disposal : these Powers
united cannot encounter any obstacles, and they
can with difficulty be disunited, provided they can
always find a majority against that one which would
be inclined to break the peace; by consequence,
ambition would have little success to hope for,
scarcely one perspective of aggraudisement. War,
then, has lost its charms; for in order that it should
again become an habitual state, it must happen that
one of the great Powers shall colossally augment its
strength and internal resources, or that another shall
fall into decline and rapid ruin ; or. lastly, that one
among them, by uniting under her colours • great
number of secondary States, should at the same
time destroy the alliance and the equilibrium. None
of these conditions will easily be fulfilled, and be-
sides, every thing tending to such an end will be
immediately perceived, denounced to general opi-
nion, and counterbalanced by measures dictated by
the common interest. The political world has been
so profoundly shaken, that there no longer exists
any secret in the mutual relations of States; that
which had been concealed in the cabinets of diplo-
macy has circulated over public places. Let us
hope that this great change will henceforth resider
impossible that dream of an ignorant and uothiuk-
ing diplomacy, which in the eighteenth century
permitted invasions and divisions so fatal to the ba-
lance of Europe.
" A singular circumstance, and how consoling to
humanity ! none of these Powers phews itself dis-
posed to augment its military force; it is precisely
by the opposite measure, it is by reducing its
power by land and .iea, that one of them threatens
to advance its relative strength too much. Eng-
land, in dimiuishiug her military state by one half
within two years, has improved. by the economy
thence resulting. her financial resources. The
King of the Low Countries has followed this ex-
ample. Doubtless the Continental Powers also
aspire to lessen a burden which exhausts their real
power; but the contiguity of their territories im-
poses on their prudence the obligation of not
adopting such a ►tep, but by common consent, and
conformably to proportionable bases.
1. Such is the progress of the constitutional,which
must, by little and little, repress the excess of the
military spirit. Europe has received new guaran-
tees of the respect of the Sovereigns for true liberty.
The Emperor Alexander has marked the corn-
mencemeirt of the operation of the Constitution
which he has given to Poland, by a solemn dies
course; he there announces his intention to esta-
blish representative Constitutions in the other parts
of his vast empire : but he was at pains to recal
the liberal ideas of the age to that purity, to
that wisdom, which the passions have generally
stripped them of. These words of the great Mo-
teach of the North directly associate themselves
with that memorable phrase by which the King of
France put his people on their guard against b per-
nicious principles which lead through anarchy to
despotism.' The spirit of faction alone can be
in-
sensible to the sincere love which these Monarchs
have vowed to the true principles of political li-
berty. if Prussia bus declared, in the mouth of
February last, that ►he had need of • delay of •
year to complete the Constitution promised to her
proviuces this wise tardiness can only surprise
these inferior minds for whom abstractions mud uni-
versality are every thing. while they disdain to con-
sider localities, manners, differnet interests, and all
those circumstances that must modify the general
laws of a monarchy composed of parts so hetero-
geneous as the Prussoasi States.

"The Clairter of Bonne is one of the moot im-
portant events of the year 1818. This Charter has
immersed and rokihined all the interests which
exi.t in the bosom of this kingdom ; the hereditary
Nobility having preserved at Lice all its property

arid all its pnliticAl rights, and, Moreover, its point
of support in public opinion, it would have been
absurd to seek any where hot in that Nobility the
aristocratical elements necessary to moderate 'no.
narchies. The King of Bavaria has given to the
third estate every thing which that estate asked of
ll.ippy the country where democracy is wise
enough not to desire to absorb every thing ! With-
out dooln, in sillier commies, where a very ad-
Sauced civil's:lrani and a universal revolution has
colifouieleil all classes, it is wise, it is iierc.siiry to
admit 101 other political aristocracy than the here-
ditary inagistriCy of the country ; but there would
be still more ignorance than presumption in Con-
demning the constitutional system of the King of
Bavaria, because the system is ant a servile appli-
cation of a theory.

" The Bavarian Constitution presented to the
nation the incalculable eilvamtege of including a
complete body of organic fundamental laws ; every
thing respecting elections, religion,' worship, pit-
vilettes, national defence, is there provided for and
regulated. l'hus are avoided those dati4erons
dts-
cussious where the spirit of party seizes 1.81 general
questions, the most arduous sod the most deli-
cote. Accordingly, the electioor which have taken
place in Bavaria announce that the spirit of the
most happy union will preside over the deliberations
of the tuitional representation of this inteseating
kingdom.
" The paternal administration of some absolute
Sovereigns consoles their subjects for the ab-
sence of political liberty. Our readers have found
iu the daily news of this Paper, numerous proofs
of this tender benevolence, with which the Sove-
reigns of Russia, of Austria, and of Prussia, watch
over the interests of the inferior classes, the equal
distribution of justice, the propagatiota of useful
knowledge. It is a liberal dictatorship which pre-
sides over the political education of nations, yet a
stranger to our lights and our vices.
"6 Clemency, that noble attribute of supreme
power, reigns almost universally in the councils of
Kings. The rectal of the exiles at Naples, that of
many of the French exiles, the grace extended to
the Roman Carbonari, concur to confound those
who always accuse sovereign power of a tendency to
severity. Kings know very well that the illusions
of our age have been too powerful, the circum-
stances too imperious, the defections too universal,
that indulgence should not be the first want of
Suites. Europe ought to regret us a moral cala-
mity, to see saute of the defenders of Saragossa and
of Cadiz in opposition to the legitimate Govern-
ment of their country ; but as we are little ac-
quainted with the events which led on this misfor-
tune, and which prolong it, let us beware of form-
ing a rash judgment.
" in the administrative official reports of states,
the superintendence of education and public in-
struction hold a prominent rank. Thi• year has
seen the eta prorisoire of the University of France
prolonged, and the contest betweeti the two me-
thods of instruction, on which every thing is said.
A moment of disorder in a German University has
caused a renewal of the cries which have been fres
quently raised against the inteiior organization of
these great establishments. There is a great deal
of exaggeration in the fears that the license of the
German academical youth inspires ; this inconve-
nience is more than compensated by the fine moral
ideas, and the pt.:found religious sentiments which
reign in Germany. It would without doubt be de-
sirable that one could lop away certain useless
branches of this majestic tree ; but ill befal the
imprudent hand which, in carrying thither the
sacrilegious knife, would wound it to the heart
" Religious peace has been happily maintained
through all Europe; but the Concordats, which
ought to guarantee the duration of it, have encoun-
tered obstacles, either in their execution or in their
definitive digesting. Frasier, ‘Virtemberg, Ha-
nover, and Switzerland, find tliemsei vet in both these
situations ; but the necessity of religious principle
fur the maintenance of political society, is so univer-
sally acknowledged, the declamations of impiety
are so generally despised. even by weak minds,
all hearts are so sensibly affected by the visible in-
terference of a remunerating Providence. that the
agreement between vtatesmen and religious prisons
would not be difficult to conclude and consolidate,
while certain unpleasant recollections and minute
disputes will have disappeared before the power of
time.

" Such has been the general aspect of Europe

has just closed. But the relations howerti she
European stations and the other people a ho inhabit
the globe, have also prevented tome reinaikable

man Porte still regards as ass important military
pcwition. It appears that the difference thence
arising will be the subject or en amicable discus-
lion. A recent event, the capture of the Chief of
the N'echahites, appeared at first a great advantage
fur the Ottontau Empire. It is Europe, perhaps,
that ought must to congratulate itself. A new sect,

THE BRRI'I'ISII PRIES S.

LONDON,

WEDNF.S9AY, JANUARY 6, isig.

We have received Paris Papers of Saturday the
inst. The Duke of RICHELIEU is said to be
recovering rapidly from Ins recent illness. We
hove extracted from Inc Journal des Debuts, a long
article on the general politics of the year 1818,
which we hope will prove interesting to our readers,
as chewing the light in which the iscen.s passing
on the extruded stage of politics are viewed by the
thinking men of France.
An article from Madrid, dated in one Paper the
Ist of December, and its smother the I9th 4.1 De-
cember, undertakes to contradict certain rumours
that appeared in the Engl4ll Newspapers respect.
ing the alarming state of the internal affairs of
Spain. The writer, however, while he assures os
4.f the imperturbable tranquillity that reigns not
only in the capital and in the provinces, very gravely
proceeds to enumerate what might he foolishly sup-
posed to create powder discontent, but which in the
1,4y4l bosoms of Spaniards could excite no feeling.
of dissatisfaction. The stagnation of commerce, the
jurists-v:llde confusion of the finances. the total dis-
regard of public faith, can excite, says the writer,
no inquietude. A little further on he deelares, that
terry thing in Madrid is in the most exetnplary
state, and that the people have no fears of any
only a farnine."—But what of that ?—" the
people can live upon very little." With the excep-
tion of these trifles, and the assembling of numerous
Lollies of banditti in La Mancha and Andalusia, who
very insolently lay some large towns under contribu-
tioti, Spain presents a picture of the utmost happi-
ness, loyalty, and tranquillity. People in this coun-
try, holding sonic old-fashioned prejudices, might
certainly consider this representnt►on of the internal
►'ate of Spain as humiliating; and unfortunate in
the extreme. They might say, here is a country
without commerce; a Government without faith,
tuoury, or credit; and a people liable to be plun-
dere.l, imprisoned, or put to death by the 'mini-
t;tioti on one band, and the banditti on the other.
litit to the loyal eyes of the Madrid writer these
considerations appear as nothing, and he cats very
innocently express his wonder, in which lie will be
joined oy some Treasury Prints its tins rntststry, at
what the object of people can be its dissetninatiog
olarming intelligence !

New fork Papers to the 7th, Boston Paper. to
the 4:h, and Charleston Papers to the 2:1 of last
month, have arrived at our office. A resolution
W4s la:d on the table of the Senate on the lit of
December, instructing the Committee of Finance
In inquire into the expediency of prohibiting the ex-
p.nistion of the current coin of the United Stater.
We presume that the citizens of the Union having
txperienced the inconveniences arising front the
scarcity of circulating medium, have iustructed
some of their legislators to prupore this resolution,
in an effectual means of maintaining the circulating
medium undiminished in the country. But no
fiery yids ever more deceitful than that which
:could attribute to tegidative mem:urea the i;nwer
nf controlling money. The experience of every
lamutry nifers sufficient proof of this 'roils,
sod none more satisfactory evidence than that of
Great Britain. Money, whether to ascertain and
utter its valor, or to prohibit the exportation of it,
ha. been in England a constant 'object for legisla-
tive enactments; but its nature has uniform:). been
1. mid too rubble for the operation of law, and has
eqa.untly haled the ingenuity ethnic who fetter
it. While profit can he made by die exportatioo of
men, in the existing moral ladle of society, will
he found to export it in contravention of any law
twit may be framed ; and as 110 article of trade
coo, tu proportion ;to its *floe, be Plltcyd in

smaller spice than money. the facility of conceal-
ment will induct them to despise the penalty attach-
ed to the offence, iu the certain hope of being shit
to escape detection. Of this Spain affords a sum..
cient proof, for in no other country did inch san-
guinary laws exist to prohibit the exportation of
specie; and yet the exportation of the gold and
Over hroutzlit from South America always preserv-
ed a fair proportion to the amount imported.
A Committee has been appointed to inquire into
the state of the National Bank of the United

opectable authority.

Hamburgh Papers to the 28th of December
have arrived. The Dowager Empress of Runt/.

pomp. The !procession was very grand—it was
opened by his PRUSSIAN DIAJESTY, surrounded by
the Princes of the Royal Family. Marshal Rt.nc.
HER, at the head of the garrison, received the
Imperial visitor.

A new Ordinance has been published in Hesse
ill according with the general spirit of liberality of
which the German States have recently furnished so
many proofs. Only the Sons of Counsellors and
others of equal rank are to he in future admissible into
the Universities. The Clergy alone have a right to
send the eldest of their sons to the Academy, but
all the younger sons are prohibited from receiving
a learned education.

A violent storm was experienced at New York on
the sth tilt. which did much damage. Four ur five
vessels, laden with grain, were said to have been
»uok, besides considerable injury which was sus-
tained on land.

The Emperor Al FXANnes was much affected
by the death of the Grand Duke of BADEN. Two
or three months ago his death would have been an
important event : it is now of little consequence iu
it political view. His successor is a man of excellent
character, from whom much good is expected.
The public are already aware, that great dis-
satisfaction has prevailed with respect to the conduct
of certain of the Revenue Boards. In conse-
fluent..., of the endless complaints springing up out
of this dissatisfactiou, a Commission was some
time ago appointed to investigate the conduct
of such Boards. With the issue of the iuqui►y
