FRANCE.

The Union has Fhe following, to show that only
monarchical institutions will suit the great mass of
the French nation :
" There is a poliey which is of all times, and which
has survived alishe regimes—namely, that which is sup-
ported on morality and history, that which remains to
us; and it is not the least instructive and the least fruit-
ful iu lessons. What astonishing chaoges since 'B9!
We have more than once declared that French common
sense had been misled by the illusions of the Republic,
and we can now ask with confidence if ourappreciations
i
were not correct. But what a sad moral sto bedrawn
from our sixty years of struggles and misfortunes! These
sanguinary cries could then have been avoided, had not
the national ivastinct, been falsified Who can doubt it?
For that, what was necessary was to have seized on the
revolution and governed it ; and, whilst the madmen
desired to make it a destruction, the wise and strong
ought to have made it a reform. The word republic,
flung into
this violence of renovation, completed the
madness. Are we a nation of republicans ? Vain and
napon, are.we capable of support-
selfish as we are unlit
ing equality ? Eqy . who wishes for it ? Or do we
want liberty ? We oppress each other on every occa-
sion, and we with pride support only servitude. What
could be more silly than for the dreamers of the last sixty
years to wish to place us in a republic ? We, an old peo-
ple, a people moulded to all the habits of subordination ;
a people having a monarchical history, and the passion
of whom is to shine ; a people tormented, besides, by
the want of enjoyment, tond of luxury, revelling in
the emotions of the theatre or the last novel—can
such a people do without being governed—without an
authority to regulate its doings ? Besides, where was
there ever seen any republic like that proposed in our
days ? In 1804 the Republic gave itself an Emperor,
and in 1852 what has become of it ? That Republic,
therefore, is quite a utopian scheme, which can only de-
stroy and is unable to last. But in what does the illu-
sion of the honest abettors of the Republic consist? In
this, that they suppose that what was sound in the re•
forms of 'B9 can only be realised by the abolition of
every form of monarchy. These excellent reformers
have never read the history of France, for if they had
they would have known that in the French monarchy
there has constantly been more of real republicanism
than was ever seen in the nominal Republic instituted
by the demolishers of '9l. They search the chronicles
of the various reigns, and find disorders, misery, and
scandal! Really! that is a great miracle! Is not hu-
manity at all times humanity? And are these austere
republicans themselves suiets or heroes? That monar-
chical institutions have had their convulsions,oppressioas,
and injustices is not by any means astonishing; but,
notwithstanding all that, the monarchy is not less in
Franco the work of kings during long ages for the li-
berty of the people. The fatal error, since 'B9, was to
cut short that long labour which, of its own accord, was
arriving at all necessary reforms. In taking away the
monarchy, the instrument of lioerty, order, and happiness
was taken away also. And that is the reason why
the instinct of the nation tends incessantly to bring
back the Constitution to its nataral principle, even
when falling into au error as to the form to b 3 given
to it. That is the wheic ciaplanatioa of the success-
aivo revolutions which we have seen in this country
And what lessons are there not in all these changes ?
Toe most astonishing, is to sec the inutility of so =ley
efforts, and so tench violence and crime, to change the
nature cf the laws suitable to France. The truth is,
that it is Providence which appears in these striking
protects agalnst the fictions of the republic ; and it is
Providence, which we ought all to adore, confiding in
its wisdom to evolve from this reaction not only order,
but the liberty and dignity of the country."
It is rumoured that an Imperial Guard of 10,000
men, to be formed from the select battalions of the
army, will be organised soon after the Imperial elec-
tion. The title of "Excellence" has, it appears, be-
come alreadj usual in, the dispatches transmitted
from one Minister to another.
It is curions that amongst the numerous addresses
from Municipal Councils to the President not the
least warm are those which proceed from localities
known as Legitimist. That from Maur (Deux-e
Sevres) begins thus :—" We open to you the gates
of the department of the Deux-Sevres, the limit of
that Vends-, the chiefs of which your ability has
succeeded in attaching to your cause. In other
times also your glorious uncle found amongst their
fathers, after havirg vanquished their proved cou-
rage, the auxiliaries of his glory, &c." From
Pringa'y, too, in the same department, the address
of the 11Iunicipal Council concludes thus :—" Con-
solidate your work, Prince ; make yourself Empe
ror ; by doing so we believe you will tithe from an-
rcby every Lope of success ; and count, under all cir-
cumstances, on our devotedness. Appeal to the villages,
and the peasants will not betray you, Five l'Empereur
Vice i'Vapoleon 111. And, finally, not the least
emphatic, is that which proceeds from the very
place where the Emperor Napoleon, when on his
route from Elba, was wellnigh torn in piect,3 by the
populace. The inunclpality of o:gen (Bunches du
Rhone) "respectfully expresses the wish that, as the
heir of the great Napoleon, you become the chief of a
Government which derives its force from its continu-
ance, and can thus consolidate all that you hare un-
dertaken of great and useful in the interest of the
French people, and secure to our country the rank it
has a right to aspire to in the family of the nations of
Europe and the Christian world."
A singular fatality occurred a few days since on
board a boat laden with gunpowder, which was pro-
ceeding along the Gl.ronne to Agen. having reached
Podensac, a gendarme there wished to take the place
of his comrade from Bordeaux, but slipped into the
river as he was entering the boat, and was drowned.
Toe following afternoon the boat was moored in front
of Jozie, in the Lot et Garonne. Some flax took
fire on hoard, and the crew slipped the cable and
jumped ashore. The boat drifted into the middle of
the river, where the guneowder exploded, and the
captain and two gendarmes perished.
