ombition of the most hvaricir.ps. Put what came ac

gtipe; went as a gatne..l see perionages lounging'
about the streets with the full tinge of disappoint-
ment and jealousy in their complexions, whii were
once the, free feasters upon the richest spoil of the
Continent, absolute Proconsuls in anthority amt
rapine.. Those men restless and angry, have now
no other occupation than bitter boasting and iv-
curable discontent. The silly policy which has
attempted to conciliate villainy by wealuir..:s of
forgiving, while it left the sense of privation ;
which spewed itself equally incapable to punish or
to pardoo; has left this immense tribe ready to
embrace the first and wildest chance that offers
for a renewal of their old triumphing. For France
there was but one hope, and that was to be found.

in -the solemn administration of -justice on the
rebels, A monarch who would have brought :the
chief of the last conspiracy to
:trial, and. front
trial instantly to the block, would have found an
incalculable strength in the sudden confidence
that shoots up round a vigorous throne. Hu-
man nature loves justice. There are tens
and hundreds or thousands in France whO
would have started into loyalty the moment they
. had found a King, whose feebleness 'was not
likely to leave them once more to their enemies.
The whole people would have been 'proud to praise
a King whose firmness bad extorted praise from
k Europe. if Henn' IV. had spared his good
City of Pars,"'orhesitated, when his objects re-
quired it, to shoitt or hang a rebel, he would
have been sneered at, like his descendant; if
Louts XVI. bad decimated the Tiers Etat,' and
bombarded the good City for a week, we would
see him to this day, the happy Monarch of a peo-.
ple
_enthusiastic in their loyalty, -and the whole
gang of oneqUalled and indescribable traitors,.
that sent hint to the scaffold, would, have been-
remembered only while their caresses hung
ening to the sun on the towers of the Louvre.—.
• But now, to resist and to malign the Monarch is,
the cheapest of all contrivances for popularity, to
hoist his lig, laugh at his orders,' rind then come'
to Court for a Croix or a peerage, is the easy
route of every commandant of redoubt to Fame.
To have been the meanest, most odious, and
most time-Serving of the slaves of all the tyran-'
nies that have torn. France, is. almost a passport
to place and distinction, and-yet- the King looks
on,
~and actually talks-as if he knew. the ',spirit of
the people, and could mould its iron and impene-
trable heart by smiles and Fpeeelres; by the exhi-
bition of his person to half a hundred mendicants
and police officers from the windows of the Tuil-
eries, rind by making bis cotnedian play ilenri
Qnatre once a week. While this simpering with-
in is soliciting for answering siapers idiom,
Tatt.ey R SD, a man of blood and guile, if ever
there was one, stands beside the Nine's chair,
Foveae, the Conspirator, is consoled for his tem-
poriry discomfiture by an etnimssynf the most
coofidential raek, and the whole band Of .traitor 4
whom the-command of the Allies had fumed t)str.-.

Kt:lG to proscribe as not fit to live or linger in
France, aA on whom their crimes. had Itereay
hranded.a mark that must be real
.hy every eye,
are suffered to go, as may hest please thetn-,- with
their spoil untouched,-t0 plot and purchase•a- new
rebellion. This system, radically paltry, and con,
ceived in,a mingled spirit of cowardice and craft
was worthy of the late Ministers.. The present,
then, give some stronger hope'. But for a de-
cided cure, the whole regimen must be -changed.
'Lie battle has raged too lately in France to suf-
fer the usual expedients of quiet cultintion. The
successful process must begin by an utter destruc-
tion and dissolution of the-remnants that -Still'
pollute the soil. There can he no wholesome har-
vest where the wrecks of the struggle are still
swelling bloody and revolting out of the gronnd,;
the simplicity of common industry is useless or
dangerous, the very ploughihare cannot be yen,
turedlnto the earth without turning up shapes of
terror-and pollution, and scattering,.pestilenco up-
on the wind.
