A revolution so sudden and complete, and, compara-
tively, so bloodless, has no parallel in the history of modern
Europe. Formerly, when a people rose against the op-
pression of their Kings, they were generally involved in a
protracted civil war, during which the nation bled at every
pore. Whatever party triumphed the community inva-
riably suffered ; for even the most successful war of resist-
ance against regal tyranny must always write traces of ruin
upon every domestic household. 13ut France has fur-
nished the world with a splendid exception to those me-
lancholy precedents. In the course of one week she has
conquered the despotism which threatened to crush her
liberties ; and has compelled the Sovereign to seek his
safety in Bight ! All the proceedings of the French people,
from the moment when the designs of the Court were
made known, until the establishment of a Provisional
Government, are remarkable for vigour, prudence, and
sagacity,

FBA Ner..—What we anticipated when giving in our last
week's paper a statement of the infatuated proceedings of
CharleirX. has come to pass, but certainly more suddenly
than we contemplated. In the short apace of four or five
days from the publication of the Ordinances abolishing the
liberties of the Press, and the late elections, one of the
most complete revolutions recorded in history, has been
effected. With the exception of those evils arising out of
bloody contest carried on for two or three days between
an undisciplined and unarmed populace and a large body
of the finest troops in Europe, not a single act of plunder
or outrage appears to have been committed ; and the
French of the present day have thus nobly retrieved the
national character front that stigma with which the pro.
ceedings of forty years ago had branded it. The wild and
soiseless theories of the leaders of that period appe ir tube
discarded, for the rational and temperate regulations of a
limited monarchical and constitutiooal government. The
persons at present placed at the head of affairs are
mee of aelcuowledged tdente, and moderate principles;
and if their views ate seconded, as we trust they will
be, by the Lrgisla'ive bodies, and the people at large,
the result must be highly beneficial for France„......
So far as matters have yet gone, the French carry with
them the and best wishes of all parties in this
country. This will prof) ibly not be the case with some
of the Continental powers : but so long as their measures
are Lzoverned by the same spirit of temperance and sound
judgment in which they have been commenced, they may
defy all opposition from whatever quarter.

(From the Sheffield Mercury.)

We last week gave a gloomy picture of the state of things
in France; and we then anticipated that the desperate
measures of Cli,rles amt his Ministers would had to serious,
if not to app filing consequences. We were not, however,
prepared to expect Such awful and decisive results in the
brief interval of three days, as those which have taken
place. The people were enr,iged at the despotic ordinances
of the King, and with a combined zeal, which we could
not have believed possible, determined to rid themselves
of the tyrants who sought to drag them back into all the
thraldom of the darkest ages. Happily for Europe they
have vuccerded, at least so far as to render their cause all
but triumphant. The pleasure that we should feel in their
success is much alloyed by the thought of what it has cost
them. They have gained the victory over oppression,
inch by inch, and with a vast expenditure of human life;
hut still it is a victory for which England, as well as
the Continent, may have cause to be thankful.

TII g PRIMO( IlxvoLuTtow.—We have given pretty
full details of this event in subsequent columns, the perm
sal of which will excite such reflections in the minds of
our readers ac will render comment for ua unnecessary.
The noble conduct of the French people, however, deserve*
the hearty commendation of every lover of constitutional
government, and we trust that it will receive it by some
public expression on the part of Englishmen, whose native
lend presents $0 pleasing a contrast to disturbed France,
England is happy and contented under the paternal rule of
our most excellent and gracious King, who considers him..
self honoured in associating as a father amongst his chil-
dren, requ►res no guard but his people's affections, and com-
mands our admiration by his manly and honourable con-
duct, by his warm, unassuming, and gracious manners,
and by his determination to govern us according to the
law* of the land and liberties of our charters : these and
his countries' love are all that William IV. aspires to.
(From the Hampshire Advertiser.)

Ws are indeed gratified in being able to dissipate the
anxiety which the news from France, given in our Second
Edition on Saturday last, was calculated to excite. The

tyrannical conduct of Charles was met by a condnct worthy
of a people sensible of the blessings of freedom, and deter-
mined to possess them. Though the Sovereign has pro-
fitted nothing by the lessons of experience, the nation has;
and the convulsion, instead of leading on to excess and
producing a civil war, has driven a religious fanatic from
the throne, and terminated in the restoration of order, The
transition from anarchy to composure is wonderful. In
three days the revolution in this great kingdom may be
said to have been completed, anti gives to the page of his-
tory
a character original, and a lesson of inestimable value.
Nations, inspired by the example of France, will learn to
view their sovereigns in a right light, and the dictum of
Charles the Seventh, " Qui veut la roi, si vent la loi,"
will not long pus current in any kingdom. Engl►nd was
the first to achieve the possession of rational and substan-
tial liberty; and France, following her steps, is now esta-
blishing a constitution on the same basis ; the neighbouring
kingdoms thus assin►ilated in laws, will be united in inte-
rest, their commercial regulations reciptocal, anti their
advantages mutual.

(From the Devanport Telegraph.)
The predictions of last Saturday bete been fulfilled.
The House of Capet has ceased to reign. Charles the
Tenth is expelled from the throne of France, and is now a
fugitive, indebted for his personal safety to the people whom
he insulted and attempted to enslave. The proud 500.
web, who in his prosperity so far forget what lie owed
to Providence and to circumstances, was glad in his ex-
tremity and danger to accept a safe conduct from the Pro- I
visional Cievernment, and under their protection he is now
on his way to England, travelling incognito, with the title
of the Duke of Milan. The events which have led to
this mighty revolution in the fortunes of Charles the Vnth
are related according to their order of time in other parts
of our Paper. Sanguine as wit were that the fatal Dr-
dinanees against the Prins and people would seal the fate
of the lelourtions, it was impossible that we could have an-
ticipated a triumph so sudden, so glorious, and eo deciAve,
as that which has occurred. The trensection he unpa-
ralleled in the history of social communities, not only for
the completeness of the overthrow, but for the moral gran-
deur and dignity of the whole event. Faction here had

no inAusnos—tia spirit of party shrunk appalloti at tii•
burst of general indignation. The people rose in their
strength, and the harriers with which Kings surround
their palaces were dissolved in a moment.
