STATE OF EUROPE.

MR. EDITOR-The mind that delights to roam
in the wide field of political speculation, must ne-
cessarily view the present situation of affairs,
both in Europe and in America, with consider-
able interest. Such a mind cannot be' deluded
by the Vain semblance of cairn and quietude
which seems td prevail in one portion of the
globe, but will rather compare them to the awful
stillness in the air, which is frequently the fore-
runner of an approaching storm. However smiling
outward appearances may seem, the practised
eye,or the deep reflecting mind,can pierce through
the deceitful vision, and perceive the genius of,
discord and of anarchy, silently, but actively,
employed in undermining the peace and the hap-
piness of society. That this opinion is not the
mere phantasm of a timid mind, nor the idle vi-
Sions -of a weak alarmist, is proved abundantly by
the spirit of insurrection which evidently exists,
not only in Ireland but in France, and in
other parts of Europe, where it is, how-
efer,- more confined by the strong hand of
power. For it must be obvious that in times
Of difficulties and -of trouble the peace and
tranquillity of a State can be better preserved
and more effectually secured under an absolute
than under a limited or mixed form of Govern-
ment ; because the former, by forbidding at once
every discussion on its acts and operations, pre-
vents the fatal effects which seditious writings, or
incendiary speeches, generally produce upon the
mind of the unreflecting multitude. It does not,
however, in the least follow from this that the
existence of such a Government is proof against
the operations of those who may undertake its
destruction ; but the progress of these operations
must be less rapid-in their march, and, better con-
oealed in 'their organization. Hence the decisive
explosion is generally, more sudden, more unex-
pected, and consequently more fataland terrific.
It is, indeed, easy to counteract the open attacks
of an avowed enemy -; but-how'guard against the
secret machinations of a foe that-conceals -his
deadly purpose- beneath the mask of friendship,
and of.devoteduess a-
- Notwithstanding the innumerable difficulties
against which the Government of this country had.
to contend,it hasOowever, succeeded in quench-
ing the rising flames of sedition,- nod in stifling
the voice of-anarchy, conveyed to the:public ear
through- the captious, medium of Radical Reform.
The just severity-with which the law has visited
the open propagators of these pernicious doctrines
has much abated the zeal of the secret abettors
of rebellioniAnd by a steady - perseverance in a
line-of conduct at once so firm, so equitable, and
so praiseworthy, the peace of the country may
remain undisturbed, and the fabric of social
order will stand firm and unshaken.—ln Ire-
land the case is, unfortunately, widely dif-
ferent. The principles of discord and of disaf-
fection originate, in that country, in several local
causes. They must be attributed as much to the-
reat sufferings of the Nation (a most dreadful and
heart-rending_ picture of which was laid some
time since before the House of Commons by an
Honourable Baronet,) as to the peculiar charac-
ter of the people, and to the active interference
of disloyal and discontented men. What mea-
sures the wisdom of Parliament may devise to al-
leviate the sufferings of the Irish people, it is
difficult to foresee, more especially with the pre-
kent financial embansssments of the country ; but
it is most devoutly to be hoped that some effec-
tual remedy will be discovered and-applied.—
This consideration is no less deserving the serious
attention-of the Legislature, than the distressing
situation to which the Agriculturists are unfortu-
nately reduced-; for both are engines which the
evil-disposed will not fail to set at work-for the
purpose of disturbing public tranquillity;
The same spirit of disaffection, and a similar
disposition to effect a change, may be traced in
every continental State, and -in all of them is the
march of the Government more or less embar-
rassed by this avowed or concealed inclination.
It was their conviction that such a secret dispo-,
sition did exist, that induced many of the So-
vereigns of Europe to guarantee their respec=
tive existence, and gave birth to the Holy Al-
liance. This spirit of innovation, after breaking
forth in Spain with irresistible violence, was
smothered, but not extinguished, in Naples, and
has now reared its terrific head in Portugal and
in Turkey. Nor are its operations confined to
these distant parts of our Continent; they have
assumed a form somewhat serious in a neighbour-
ing country, thus proving that the revolutionary
volcano which broke out there with such de-
structive force within the space of thirty years,
is far from being wholly extinguished. The
events, so much of them, however, as we are
allowed to discover, that have recently happen-
ed in France, must occasion no trifling degree of
alarm in the minds of every kind of legitimate
Monarchy, for its future tranquillity. The
political horizon of that country seems indeed
overcast with many a threateoing cloud, and it
is highly probable that the demise of Louis
XVIII. would bring the fate of his dynasty to a
crisis. Although the partial disturbances that
have broken out in various parts have' not as-
sumed a serious aspect, they still prove that the
abettors of rebellion are actively employed, and
they are, no doubt, intended to try the temper
and disposition of the people; and more especially
of the soldiery. If supported by a loyal army,
and faithfully assisted by an active Police, the
cause of legithnacy..must eventually prevail ; but
should these two main props fail, the whole
fabric must fall to the ground. There are un-
doubtedly in France, as in every other country,
la set of men who sincerely wish to enjoy the

PRICE' SEVENPENCP;.

sweets of 'peace, under the protection of: ,the ex-
isting Government, and this portion of the people
is probably the most numerous; but it consists,
unfortunately,'of those who are the least likely
to act with energy and decision. In all coun;-
tries, and more especially in France, we usually
find the well dispoSed shrink from a- contest
with the daring and the turbulent, and thus se-
cure the success of these enemies of order, and
often prove the instruments, or at least, the in-
direct 'causes, of their own destruction. The
events of the early part of the French Revolu-
tion, while. they prove the truth of this fact,
should also serve as a beacon to Warn' the loyal
of the shocks they ought to avoid ; but, unfortu-
nately, we seldom find the existing generatichi
profit by the errors' of its predecessors.
The political storms that .'have agitated this
country, during a long'series of years; cannot
immediately subside ; nor can the ideas of
berty, or of military pre-eminence, be easily
eradicated from the minds of an unreflecting
multitude, or of a nation naturally- warlike. If.
the Chief who once led the French soldiers to'
rapid conquest be now at rest in the tomb, the
military mania, he introduced and encouraged
still exists, smothered, but not extinguished.
So much, indeed, has the. present generation of
Frenchmen been accustomed to war, that a life
spent out of a camp is considered as an unna-
tural state of existence. It is not, however,_
these-feelings, nor yet the desire, of •-once more
filling Europe with the terror of the. French
arms, that operates upon the public mind at pre-
sent, but rather the anxious desire of effacing
the foul stain' which the capture of -Paris by
the Allied Powers has imprinted upon thacha-
racter of the French armies, and of the w.bole
nation ; galling indeed to a high-minded- nation,
must be the reflection, that a host.of •foreigners
:invaded its-territory, took :possessiOn of its capi-
tal, and stripped it of, those. spoils which bore
witness of the success that had 'hitherto attended
the arms of the great nation. ' That such feellUgs
must, and do, exist; is.no less Certain than it is
evident that they must tend, more or less, to .en-
danger the internal tranquillity of France ;• to
these causes must_ be added the peculiar circum-
stances' under which the present Government has
been established. -

•;Though restored to the Throne. w,hich his fore-
fathers had occupied during a long series of ages,
Louis XVIII., owes his. Crown. to. the
.successes
of the enemies of. France, and.not_to-the Tefiitn-
ing affections of his.people.' Like Henry IV. he
has indeed conquered.. his Crown but it is with
the assistance of foreigners, and not through the
loyal and.de.voted exertions of any portion of his
subjecti: liis, family, as well as himself, are
nearly=- strangers to .the present generation of
FrenChmen. .:-As a
.nation, they must remember,
with sentiments of affection and of pride, the
names of Louis IX., Henry IV., and LouiS
XIV. ; hut the-connection- .between these good
and great Sovereigns with the Bourbons of the
present day has been so much-brokon by-The
.
revolution, and the events • which .accom*ied
it, that the Alembers.of ,the -reigning family 'are
considered more under.the light of intruders than
as the legitimate possessors of the Throne,ortheir
ancestors. • Hence the situation in which they
stand in respect to the nation is.particularly awk-
ward, and lays them more open to the attacki of
the men who would seek to better their fortunes
by a re-volution of any sort, and of those whose
attachment to their former leader', renders them
anxious for a change.of dynasty. ,In this respect
the death of Buonaparte is-perhapl'an event truly
unfortunate for the Bourbons, and the sOn -may
prove a more formidable rival to them than the
father. The latter was indeed outlawed by all
nations, but, unfortunately for the 80-urboUs, the
former is connected with one of the most power-
ful of the reigning families in Europe, the ancient
rival of the Bourbons.

If the events which have taken place both in
Spain and in Portugal will have no great in-
fluence upon the. affairs of Europe, a storm is
brooding in the East,.which threatens effectually
to disturb its tranquillity. The Ottoman Power,
once so formidable to Christendom, bas.been for
some years on the decline, and seems now on the
verge of total destruction. It is much to he
feared, however, that the changes which such au
event must produce will prove an apple of dis-
cord among the Sovereigns of Europe ; awl it is
difficult to discover what plan will be.adopted to
preserve that balance of power, with Ont which
no permanent peace can be secured. Ere long
the question of peace and of war must be decided.
The immense forces assembled by Russia cannot
be kept inactive dpring any great length. of
time : and.the negociations that have been carried
on with singular activity must now be just draw-
ing to a close. A. few weeks, or days,will spew,
therefore, whether the Turkish Empire has been►
doomed to inevitable destruction ; and probably
give us an insight into the arrangements which
such an event renders absolutely necessary.

in consequence of an event which presents very
serious circumstances. The following 'is the re.

" Last Tuesday, about five in the afternoon; .an individual
attempted to bathe in the Seine, near the Pont des Arts. The'
gendarme on the station endeaVoured to prevent him, and the
individual grossly insulted him. The gendarme-was about to
arrest him, when the •Sieur Barbier Dufay approached, took
the .part of . his friend; and most outrageously insulted the
gendarme. The noise attracted the neighbouring post, who
seized the two disturbers, wand conveyed- them tathe Prefec-
ture. The Sieur Dufay was placed in the Salle Saint Martin,
where his rage exhausted itself in invectives; and his violence
extended itself so far as to break every thing that Was within
his midi. During the proceedings it was discovered that he
-wore a pnignard from 12 to 13 inches long, richly mounted.
The gend'armes having again seized him, dragged him to -the
Grand Depot, where they were obliged to employ the most
efficacious and severe means t secure him.—Nearly two hours
after the arrest of the Sie r Dufay and his friend, a fiacre,
which had been waiting sine the morning, brought to the Pre-
fecture two swords, a hat, d a riding coat, which they had
left in it. The coachman declared that in the morning, he had
coriVeyed,tothe Bois de. Boulogne three individuals, and that
he had brought back but two."

CORTES-15 ‘ITTING EXTRAORDINARY OF MAY 29.

The Order of the Day was the consideration of the report of
the War Committee on the regulation of the Army.
Article I makes the force of the army for the ensuing year
62,043 men.-2. The number of the regiments of infantry,. 37.
3. The cavalry, 10 regiments of the line, and 12 light.---4. The
artillery to retain its present organization.-5. The corps of
Engineers and Sappers also remain in their present state.
These articles were approved. ,
The plan for recruiting the army, was then read. It states
that the number .of men to be replaced in the army for the pre-
sent year is 71901-and provides that each province shall furnish'
recruits in proportion to its population. A table is annexed,
showing the population of ithe provinces, and.the number of
roen they have respectively to ,supply.
After some debate, in censequence of the correctness of the
Census. being i4Seteral instances questioned, the-plan was ap-
proved.
