In some of the Cerinati Papers there is a letter
dated Thiouville, I lth December. iu which rise
author sass—" I have been s for two mouths
in the b-inttiffel France,' and think within inysell
beak possiderotes. According to our hosts, thing«
cannot loos, remain so ; far that the Allies
must return home next year, whether they will or
no, is taken for granted, by the Liberals, the
Ultras, and the Misiisteriatists. They only want,
they say, a few more hundred horses to adviinee in
full gillop to the Rhine, mot at a cony de slier,
lisinflreds of thousands will be in arms. la tact,
Fiance is ism so reduced ; there is no want Of good
will ; 111111 they way lisid men enough. One may
be convinced of this by walking on a Sunday
through the village., mid seeing the sports and
gytnna.t:t exercises of the Fterich youth. Our
presiefice is all libontissation to them, and the aver-
sion to the Prussians the most decided. The visit
of Our King to Paris, Unit the distribution of CO.
loured rilihoods, have made 'so change. They be-
have with potliteisess ul, ;path side., lint with cold-
ness ; therefore we settloin hear a bee expression
respietiog the pre,ent ,:site of France and the
I' boo-'. It is cerranr, that Lewin
XV;II, has much pitied in tile public estima-
tion ; anti It is very rarely that he is mruUouod
hut with respect. The Princes, lon, seem to
have become convinces, that the old road does
lint lead to the goal. Even the Duke of
Angouletur, in his last tour, always spoke in
favour of the Constitution. The Duke of
Berri is suid to behave very prudently, and to try
particularly to itigrati.ite himself with the old sol-
diers. Ile often visits the barracks, converses affa-
bly wi:11 the soldiers, hears them relate their exploits,
mid makes thesu presents. A singular circumstance
lately occurred nit such an occasion. The Duke vi-
sited the quarters of a ties ly-arsived legion; he was
struck with the appearance of an old soldier, amid
inquired after his campaigns. The old grenadier
grew in -aril by his Own narrative, that its re-
lating the storming of a battery, lie cried out several
times, .4 )'ice l'hotperettr !—liire Napoleon !"
All those who Were present imagined the soldier
would be immediately delivered tom court martial :
110 such thing ; the I.)tike of Berri smiling, clap-
ped the old man no the c!nolliler. saying, `. You
are a !slave F rent-Immo !" Trulf, it nosy be said
of certain perlion•i. in Oilier countries, with more
justice than of the French Pcincee, that they have
leatlit nothing, soil forgottesi ilothing.
