cordance with the will of the genuine representa-
tives of the people. Mr. Cobhett, in his Regitter
of this day, ohserves—" I do not proceed upon the
supposition that the Republic, by name, will be re•
stored; but I am quite sure that it will be 'in sub-
itanee." The truth is, that in every country the
Government -must become, as a matter of course,
more and more a Republic in substance. Republics,
in the ancient sense, in which the whole people de-
liberated in perann on the common concerns, are
to more than single cities. The Represen-

ration and the Press have enabled extensive countries
to enjoy a degree of independence and security in-
compatible with the Moh.Governments of antiquity.
Representation alone would be a very imperfect
check on the depositories of power, without the in-
strumentality of the Press, which enables every man
to see whether the Representative does his duty.
Imperfect as the Representation is in England, from
the instant the Press was allowed to communicate
its proceedings to the nation, there has been a gra.
linal improvement in the conduct of public men,

The tittles are fast approaching, when no man will
dare to insult the tuition by assuming a right to
choose Representatives for the people. In other
countries, the progress of improvement is equally
.evident. The people sit in judgment on the men-
'hires of their Government, and have presented to
them in a thint,and shapes the various institutions
which have been framed for giving chet to the po-
pular will. Even in Russia, the higher ranks are

rhe tri.coloured flag," says Mr. Cohbett, as is enough
for me; if that flag keep up, liefiirin in England is in-
evitahle ; if that flag, that outward end visible sign of
perpetual hostility to Aristocratical injustire, keep up,
yeforiti must come to England, from some beginning or
other; and the wise way would be to make it now, when
it can be done without a atingle. The example of

Ainslie, is powerful, but we only hear of that ; the other
we shall see it is a mighty, a populous, a rich, a learned
nation, admired for its valiant achievements, and now
more admired than ever, this last act being the mint noble
exploit ever performed by a people. A people matrined,
disarmed, in fact, a people rep sing in the lap of peace,
!loe,et on every side, and divided in the midst by an organivd
Government and a powerful army, and watched by spies
and gens.d'armen at every turn, rising all at once,
baring their breasts to the sabres and the bullets and
the cannon-balls, upon the first violation of their
rights! Taking their old Republican motto, " Vivre
litre, on inaurir I" ' Live fire, or din!' and acting.
'to the very letter, up to that motto ! Such a spectacle
must have and will have a great effect on all the nations in
the world, It should be remembered by every body, and
particularly by your Majesty, that the war against the
French Republic was a war sought by us, that is, by our
government, and that the object of it was to prevent the
contagion of French principles.' Now, what were those
nrinciples? that there ought to be no over-bearing Arb.to-
crafty, no tithes, or established church, that all men should
be equal in the eye of the law, that no law might to be
passed without the assent of the people at large through re
preseratatives freely chosen by them. These were the
French principles,' and without asking how many men

there are in Engload who reject these principles now, 1
may venture to assert, that we shall not go to war again
' to prevent the contagion', of these, or of any other
French principles. Yet, it must be evident to every one,
that we cannot remain as we are, if the ini-coloured flag
continue to wave in the air."
There is much truth in these observations. The

deriding spectacle of our elections curia be en-
dured much longer, The lowest of the people begin
to feel ashamed of lowering fhetmeives to the level
of beasts for the sake of the rich. The Tories cry
out againet the vile corruption. But the whole
eyetem of Government in England hinges on corrup-
tion. Destroy immoral and corruption, and you
destroy barouglamongering, and make the Govern-
ment in substance a Republic. Between a Govern-
went, in which the people are fairly represented, and
a Republic, what is the difference ?—/Iforn. Chron.
It is said that the Ex-King, Charles X., is about
to seek an inglorious asylum in the free States of
North America. If 'hie be the case he may meet
with the deposed Majesty of Spain in his exile, and
in the back settlemeids of Kentucky, or the green
solitudes of Pennsylvania, Charles Caper and Joseph
Bonaparte may console each other's misfortunes. It
would tie a curious and instructive subject of moral
[contemplation to 'see the two Ex-Kings, members
of rival famillee, living under the protection of the
simple President of the Republic. It would be
pleasant to see thetri.forgetting the cares of empire
end the inteigues of Courts-, enjoying in company
the barndess pleasures of the wilderness, angling in
the same waters, or pursuing together ,the pastime
of the woods. We believe some of .the family of
Murat, the .late Ex. King of Naples, have taken up
their abode within the territory which the bravery
of its inhabitants, and the genius of Washington,
wrested from the British Crown. It is strange
that a Republic should lie founded by fugitives
from oppressive Governments, to give refuge to'
exiled "Kings. It Was at first reported that the
unhappy Charles intended to retire to Rome, whore
