SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS.

TIMES.—We have received from the French Govern-
ment the only honour which a Government so constituted
has it in its power to bestow—the honour implied in its
fear and its hatred. In the Moniteur, the official organ
of his Government, the President endeavours to answer
our remarks of this day week on the melancholy position
of the French nation, deprived altogether of public life,
and reduced to seek in the childish amusements of fire-
works and scene-painting an equivalent for its degrading
exclusion from the earnest drama of real life, from the
duties of the citizen, and the honours of the statesman.
Oar remarks, such as they were, seem to have pene-
trated into the recesses of that Imperial solitude in which
Monsieur Louis Bonaparte spends the heppy and digni-
fied hours which he can save from the toil of destruction
and confiscation. At the head of an enormous army,
with his foot on the neck of a prostrate nation, a few
lines traced in a foreign language by an unknown hand
have shaken the impassible man of destiny, and probed
the depths of a conscience not easily accessible to the
voice of truth. We cannot refuse to enter the lists with
such a champion. Ho has a right to be heard on his
own behalf; as well as on behalf of the seven million
five hundred thousand votes of the 10th of December.
We only wish that he would give our reply the same
extended publicity in France as we give to his vindica-
tion in England. But this ho dares not do. Groundless
as Monsieur Bonaparte may call our censures, he dares
not make his own nation the judge of their justice,
and all the people whom be mocks with the name of
liberty will ever know on the subject will be so much as
it is deemed prudent to notice in the columns of the
Moniteur. We will not be led aside from the point
really at issue by the sarcasm which Monsieur Bona-
parte levels against the English Constitution. We are
quite content that it should be denounced by the man
who swore to remain faithful to the Republic, and to
fulfil all the duties imposed by the constitution;" who
" declared that this oath should command his future
conduct, and that he would fulfil it like a man of
honour;" who " denounced as enemies of the country
all those who should endeavour to change by illegal
means that which all France had established ;" and who,
after these things, made the Revolution of the 2d of De-
cember, 1851. Such a man is no judge of compacts—
for him they have no existence, and we are well content
that our glorious Constitution should be honoured by his
hatred and sanctified by his fear. Neither will we be led
aside by the imputations which the Autocrat of the
Elpie does not disdain to throw upon ourselves. We
are content to receive such unfounded imputations as " a
first warning," but cannot condescend to answer them,
although brought forward by the absolute lord and
master of thirty-six millions of the bravest and most in-
telligent of the human race. Let Monsieur Bonaparte
call us " the passionate interpreter of hostile parties,"
" the representative of an interested opposition," and
strive to persuade the nation which he has duped and
dragooned that his Government can have nothing to fear
from honest conviction. True, as he says, we are not,
like the Moniteur, the organ of a nation; but in this in-
stance, at any rate, we aro something more—the organ
of the conscience of the human race, the organ of that
feeling which distinguishes man from brute, the mouth-
piece of that unbending law of morality which per-
jured judges cannot pervert, and all the prestige of
success cannot elude. To one accusation, however,
which the irritation of Monsieur Bonaparte has induced
him to make against us, we must reply. We approved,
be says, of former revolutions, not because they were
conquests made by the people, but on account of the
blood which was shed. It is, therefore, we suppose,
because the 2d or rather 4th of December was bloodless
that we have been unable to give in our adhesion to its
success ? Surely the recommendation of blood, if that
were to our taste, was not wanting, when, in the broad
daylight, in the most public thoroughfares of Paris, twelve
hundred harmless passersby, unarmed and without a
show of resistance, were murdered by the drunken sol-
diery whom Monsieur Bonaparte had bribed for the pur-
pose ? No; if we dissent from the revolution of the 2d
of December, it is not because it has not shed blood
enough. Tho proper anniversary is the 4th of De-
cember, and it should be celebrated at the Marcb 6 des
Innocens. The name, at any rate, might recall mothers
murdered with children in their arms, old men
slain on their thresholds, children of seven years
old massacred, as well as the other glories which
the President takes so much credit to himself
we fornot
exists
commemorating. The real question is, have
e beene
is
dreaming all this while? Is it a pretence that Fr
disinherited of all her rights, that political life
longer for her, us the Times dares to assert? And no
she, on the contrary, as Monsieur Bonaparte declares,
making the first essay of the most unbounded liberty?
It France has political life, wo shall find it, like animal
life, in the perfection of her organs, her Senate, her Le-
gislature, her generals, her magistracy, her local coun-
cils, and, above all, in her press. Her courts are at this
moment presided over by the very men who met to-
gether on the 2d of December to declare the President
deposed for treason and perjury, who took the oath of
fidelity to this very person in the month of April, and
who now administer in his name so much of the law
as ho has suffered to exist, so often as ho
allows it to have its course. The army is com-
manded by the same General Magnan who, on
the trial of Monsieur Bonaparte before the Cham-
ber of Peers for the attempt at Boulogne, over-
whelmed him with his contempt for his unsuccessful
attempt to corrupt him. Since then the attempt has
been renewed, and with better success. Hero also we
can find no political life. The Senate is a band of

mercenary pensioners, without power, and without
character, and the Legislative body is barely allowed to
testify its disapprobation of the ruinous extravagance it
is not permitted to check. There is no life here. But
there is Universal Suffrage, and, though every institu-
tion which that suffrage can appoint is sedulously de-
nuded of all authority and dignity, Universal Suffrage
compensates for this trivial defect by the splendour of
its name. But, to make this suffrage anything, the
elector should be allowed not merely a vote, but a choice.
Liberty implies an alternative, and that alternative the
French Government does not allow. As well not elect
at all as be forccd to vote for the nominee of the
Government, and thus disgrace an institution
n they
titsifi n
permitted
that
a in
to
concludingianre not
h
political life; and, if we pass from institutions to acts, we
Franco c e W
ate pa rr ees,n e tth ethers n'
shall find in the plunder of the Orleans family, and the
hulks of Lambessa and Cayenne, gorged with thousands
of unconvicted exiles, the best proof that the great end
of human society—protection of person and property
from the aggressions of lawless power, is not included in
the plan of the present Government of France. If this
bo a faithful picture of the present state of France—and
who can deny that it is so?—have we'not a right to
wonder at the degeneracy of a nation which, under the
load of degradation and misery which this man has
brought upon it, can find time or taste for reviews and
processions, for rockets and transparencies? And does
not the spectacle of Caesarean France, with her servile
Senate, her mercenary generals, her mixed ministries of
pleasure and business, her fierce Praetorians, and her
pliant magistrates, necessarily force upon us a compari-
son with the darker periods of the Roman Empire? Mon-
sieur Bonaparte aims at too much. The press of France
would long since have said so, but her press is mute.
Her tribune would have said so, but her tribune is dumb.
A nation may bo free and proud, or enslaved and sub-
missive; but it is idle to expect that France can be made
by any art vain of her slavery and proud of her dishonour.
In the false praises of the Moniteur there is more offence
than in our honest and open censures. Servitude is only
when it is called freedom, and despotism
as when it wears the mask of liberality.

Lower Empire of Roma. Can he trace no family like„
tress to one personage, at least, in the sketch Which
Gibbon gives of Commodes? " Amid the acclamations
of a flattering Court he was unable to disguise from him-
selfver that he had deserved the contempt and hatred of

cious spirit was irritated by the consciousness of that
every man of sense and virtue in his empire; his
hatred, by the envy of every kind of merit, and by the

TUE STOURBRIDGE MEETING.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
SlR,—Next weak is equally prolitio of raea meetings
with the present, not less than nine fixtures being
marked to coe,
0 off. Stourbridge is en the list for Mon-
day and Tuesday; Eccles, Monday, Tuesday, and Wed-
nesday; Lincoln and Westbury, Tuesday and Wednes-
day; alorpeth. Wednesday and Thursday; Newport
and Stirling, Thursday and Friday; and Bridgenorth
and Marlborough on Friday.
Tho only meeting I shall touch upon to-day is that of
Steurbridge, which commences on Monday at two
o'clock with the Prestwood Stakes, which has not yet
closed.
The Stourbridge Stakes over the mile and a quarter
course will probably be contested by five or six, inclu-
ding Forester and Bess of Hardwick. Ethelwolt's run-
ning, considering his engagement at Lincoln on the fol-
lowing day, is very dubious. Butterfly's chance at Est
7lb is not remarkably good, although not altogether out.
Prime Minister, a ith the top weight up, if ho runs will
finish forward, but not as the winner. In the absence
of Ethel wolf, I think Fora: en and Bess or HARD-
WICK will cccupy the first and second places.
The feliee' Pure, a mile run, must terminate, to my
thinking, in placing 6 REENOAKS and Lady Bihina first
and second; with May-day well up.
The Gold Cup, two miles, I think may be hooked
a certainty for that sticking son of Slalom, AARON
SMITH. WMOI-fill' and G hold, Sirgh may possibly be
his nearest attendants.
Last night, and again this morning, a good deal of
business was transacted on the Warwick and Doncaster
events. For the Leamington Stakes, the favourite of
the early part of the week, Terpsichore, was somewhat
shaky; while, on the other hand, Lady Evelyn was very
firm in the market. Russborough came with a rush and
left off with takers at 10 to 1. Madeline, Hugo, Hirsute,
and Trickstress were also inquired after. For the War-
wick Cup Little Harry was in great force; nothing
else mentioned, The St. Leger betting was all in favour
of Daniel O'Rourke and Lapidist, scarcely any other
being mentioned. Repeated offers were made to back
The Reiver against the field for the Champagne Stakes,
and to take 4 to 1 about Vindex. Offers were also
made to take 8 to 1 about Kingston for the Doncaster
Cup and risk the entry. The closing prices on a large
field of stakes that were speculated upon were as fol-
low :—Stourbridge Stakes-3 to 1 each agst Ethelwolf
and Bess of Hardwick; 7 to 2 agst Forester, 4 to 1 agst
Butterfly. Gold Cup-3 to 2 agat Aaron Smith, 2to 1
taken freely. Lincolnshire Handicap-2 to 1 agst
Ethelwolf, 3to 1 agst Haricot. Lincoln Triennial-
-2 to 1 agst the Maid of Lincoln. Leaming-
ton Stakes (Warwick)-6 to 1 agst Lady
Evelyn; 7 to 1 agst Terpsichore; 10 to 1 each agst
Russborough, Hirsute, and Huge; 10 to 1 agst Made-
line; 15 to 1 eget Trickstress; 20 to 1 each agat Cleve-
land and Leap-year. Warwick Cup-6 to 4 agst Little
Harry. St. Leger-9 to 4 agst Stockwell, 7to 2 agst
Daniel O'Rourke, taken; sto 1 agst Songstress; 10 to
1 agst Harbinger; 20 to 1 each agst Lapidist and
Trousseau.
In accordance with my notification yesterday I here-
with attach its probable field for the St. Leger, with the
jockiee' names. The list is as complete as I can obtain
it at the present time; and I lay it before the readers of
The Sun with all its imperfections on its head. Daniel
O'Rourke (Butler), Stockwell (Norman), Harbinger
(Nat), Trousseau (Tompleman), Caracara (Holmes),
Claverbouse (Marlow), Ilex (J. Mann), Alfred the
Groat (Bumby), Longbow (Simpson), Lapidist (G.
