all true policy consist, in this maim—know how
to *flee beforehand the benefits of time.

They very much confound things who cite (the
exi►mple of) a neighbouring nitrous ; there, say they,
the Government is never any thing but the head of
pillar, md this pillar is a party.
Enklaud, compared to France, is not dividtet
into differeut parties; for its the relation of man-
ner., of climate, of religious opinion!, of general
interest% England forms a whole perfectly homo-
geneous; and Ul France all is dissimilar in the re-
lation of general interests, of religious opinions, of
stiantiele, and of climate.

ha England, nothing more than • struggle al-
ways persevered in, *lawny+ critical, is carried on,
between an old and a new order; for near two ages

that

; with us it is but advancing.

In England the Opposition is only formed by the
diversity of personal iniere.ta, au element of op-
position whi6i, by comprising iii it self-love, will
he eternal w human societira. In France, to the
diversity of personal intilest., is added the decided
difference of opinions—of revolter:6,lB4—rd habits;
there are in reality two people in Frasier; for a
hundred and sixty years there has been but one
English people. In England the resources, pub..
lie and private, are very considerable ; they are
nearly adequate to the number and the ardour or
all individual ambitions. In France great catas-
trophes still weigh heavily on inmate fortunes and
on the public resources ; a multitude of men, reor-
dered supernumeraries by terrible events,
pies., groan ; almost all have claim, to make from
aervici a or rights; and the dispensers of favours
are far from being able to satisfy them ; and
every favour makes theist jealous, mud every refusal
provokes murmurs ; and the new order cries out, in
the esaine of aciivity—iii the name of lahour—rn
the name of the age—in the name of (advancing)
intelligence ; and the ancient, order cries out in the
name of property—in the name of fidelity—its the
name of misfortune ; and the common father of
she French has two families divided, which
are equally dear to him, and which he wishes'
equally to protect, to console, to appease !
Aid he will succeed; his heart is so full of
affection ! his thoughts are so full of rea-
son ! his conduct is so full of good management,
and of prudence. Every day he excites confidence,
hope, a return ofspirit ; the opinion that the entire
people form of the advance and stability of the
Government is manifested by two testimonies of
high authority—industry and credit.

Yet a little time and France will be restored to
her whole destiny ; the metropolis of art►, sciences,
civillzition, she will reign over all nations by the
urbanity of her manners, and the charms of her
character ; her passions will be calmed ; the new
and the old order hill be entwined by the mixture
of interests ; the reason of the •ne will have lost
its severity ; the regrets of the other will have lost
their bitterness; there will remain in future between
them but the light chequerings that give to society
its movement..
