PRESENT STATE OF FRANCE.

(From a Correspondent of the Morning Chronicle.)
PARIS, Jut y 24,.....0f late the Ministerial party
has become much more bold. Its friends, agents,
spies, and Journals, go to much greater lengths than
ever. Defeated lit the elections by such over•
powering majorities, they now contend that " France
has not spoken. The electors are not France.
Frenchmen are loyal, but the electors are men of''
the Revolution." Thuw statement is singularly ab-
surd and original. If France is not represented by
the electors, then let France speak by some other
means. But how is this possible ? Why, instead
of introducing a new law, as is threatened, to restrict
the number of voters, and reduce the 80,000 who
have the right of voting to '20,000 ; let me recom-
mend these men who are so confident in the loyalty
of France to increase the number of voters. Let us
have at least, for an experiment, universal suffrage.
Let, for the sake of experiment, every male of
twenty-one years of age, who is neither idiot nor
lunatic,_ and who has not been convicted of any
crime, have the right, at least for once, to vote for
Deputies. Let us see what a Royalist Chamber we
should have. I will pledge myself that if this plan
be tried, at least the Liberals will not find fault with
Vie nominations; and if the Royalists will pledge
themselves to be equally satisfied, the question may
vary soon be settled. I merely predict, beforehand,
that if thiirplan be adopted, there will not be foetid
even one solitary Royalist in the Chamber of
Deputies. No ; out of 430 Members, not one
shall be Royalists—but all, if so elected, shall be-
long to the Extreme Gauche. When, therefore,
the Journals of the Ministers say that by the elections
which 111iY0 now closed France has not spoken, I
reply, " True, France has not spoken as loud and
decided as she would have done if fifteen millions
had spoken instead of 80,000; but France has so
fai spoken, that the 80,000 have returned a large
majority unfavourable to II Royalist Ministry."
Le .rernps has said, with much of force and truth,
" The fllinisters'always appear to art acid think as
if they were oppored by a faction ; whereas, in
truth and in .fiet, it its they, a small faction, who
are opposing the whole nation:' , This is really the
'osition of affairs to-day. Each party now rushes
forward to the battle--and the.,ll of August is ap-
proaChiug. But in their violence one party ex-
,claims,." The Sovereign -is not .the King"—and
the other -party calls down the vengeance of the
Xing end of Heaven, and says, " We must make
war against' the piraterounl we may be sure we shall
Conquer them."
The Elections are now terminated. The list is
complete. France has before her the names of her
new Deputies, and she finds 201 out of 221 re-
turned who voted the " insolent Address !" She
finds also that last year she could only find 230
Members opposed. to. the Polignac Cabinet ; but
that now, spite of proclamations, pro Mises, arid
pledges,., ensions, and purses well filled with gold,
and places, all arrayed against her wishes and in-
tentions, the can no's Count 270 who are undoubt-
edly Anti-Rlyttlist ; end after she has made all pos-
sible Concesalotis of donbtfill men to the Ministerial
side, she cati only find 150 who are Ministerial, and
ten who may be denornineted Moderate and Con-
stitutional. Royalists. Thus hiss France proved
"her loyalty I" " her' love for the Dynasty-1" " her
devoted attachment to the -Bourbons 1" and her
" determination 'to connect all her greatness and '
happiness with that et her august Princes !I" But I
let us not jest.' Take- the followiug statement,
which is as correct as possible (though not faultless)

Bat the Ministers say, that although 270 be Li-
hersle„,there. are not 270 who will refuse the Bud-
get; and that
„unless the Budget be refused, the
Ministers Can remain in office. This is miserable
shuffling, valet reasoning, and a dangerous mode of
trifling with thirty-two millions of people, and eighty
thousand electors. If Ministers believe that France
holds opinions different to the electors, then extend
the elective franchise, and let France vote by,every
male who is twenty-one,years of age., If Ministers
believe, on the other hand,. that if they extended
thereleetive franchise, ant one single supporter of
the Royalist party or opinions would be returned to
.the new Chamber, then let them reflect ere they
reject the moderate Counsel of the majority of the
present Chamber; and that counsel is to retire. If
they do not retire this month, they may be com-
pelled the next ; or if, even by military force and
terror, they may retain their places for even another
year—the day of retribution will at length arrive.
The Royalists know they, are defeated. Thu King
perceives he is in a minority and yet another esw
peslatent is to be tried—the Chambers are to be re-
sesembled—re-invokedte-threatened—te-flattered
; then be re-dismissed, and re-dis-
solved ; and thirty-two millions of people are to be
terrified into order by coups dela,. But we are not
surprised, We have seen all this beforehand—and
await, more in pity than in anger, the final result.
I perceive that the Reformers in England propose
to have u banret„ to commemorate the triumph of
the French bleetors
at
the late elections in this
country. This is generous and sympathising. But
when they so assemble—when the cup passes round
when eloquence and humanity shall plead for
thst cause of the Liberals of France ; let not the
orators and Statesmen who may be present imagine
that the victory is yet pined—that the enemy is
yet defeated—that because France has spoken,
therefore that France will yet he heard. No, no.
Believe me, when I tell you, that up to this hour
the Court is stubborn--Ministers are unconvinced—
*, bourhon have not learned by experience—and
abiolutirm will,ouce more be attempted to be este-
bliahed in., France.

Well, what Is this ? Why news has just arrived
that the Dey of -Algiers has sailed for 'Naples—and
13 millions of francs I! or 420,0004 sterling has
been shipped from Algiers for Toulon, in gold and
silver, being the amount of the seizures made in the
Treasury of the Dey !I This intelligence is to re-
move all difficulties—get rid of all obstacles—and
the new Chamber of Deputies is to be converted,
by the magic of a golden wand 111 The Ministers
are in ecstacies. The Royalists are shedding tears
of joy. France looks on, and sneeringly says--Bali!

TO THE WORTHY AND INDEPENDENT
LIVERY OF LONDON.

OINTIATEKN,
THE anticipated Dissolution of Parliament
has taken place since I last had the honour of ad-
dressing you, and I avail myself of the earliest opportunity
for renewing my solicitation to be a second time returned
one of the Representatives for the metropolis.
Should I, by your kind favour, be again placed in thin
high and distinguished situation, you may rely on my ut.
most exertions in promoting the general welfare of the
oountry, in which the best interests of the city of London
must ever form a very prwninent part, whether in respect
to its corporate capacity, or in relation to its great and
important commercial concerns.
The Day of Election is fixed for Patna v, the 30th inst.,
at Twelve o'clock, at Guildhall, when a numerous at-
tendance of my friends of the Livery, to support my nomi.
nation, is most earnestly and respectfully requested.
I have the honour to be, Gentlemen,
Your faithful and obedient Servant,
Lothbury, July 26, 1830. WILLIASI WARD.
