The French Revolutien was so far successful
that the grand Obstacles to, the prosperity of
France were almost .11 L 'removed. in the important
interval between its commencement, and the, re
storation of the Bourbons. Though this family,
as was significantly observed, learned notititio
and forgot nothing in their exile, a change
had taken place Which rendered ' it, , imPos-;
sible for them to restore -many of 'the
old abuses, however desirous. Tithes
could not be 're-established, nor the Seignorial
Rights, nor inequality of- Taxation. ~The 'im-
mense property of a Church at war with the well-
being of the country, was conveyed to a multi-
tude of industrious proprietors, from whom ie
was impoisible to wrest it. Priestcraft 'received
a blow, from which it will with difficulty re-.
cover. A Code of Laws, to which the whole
population was attached, from experience of
benefits, secured to all the benefits of equal jus-
tice. The Bourbons found ayery different France
from that which they had abandoned,and they were
obliged to bow to the Genius of. the Revolution.
The Revolution in, Spain has ,unfortunately ac-
complished little. It has received a severe, if
not a fatal blow in the commencement of its
career. The genius of evil has again obtained
the ascendancy, in . this ill-fated country. The'
Church. has again seized its immense possessions.
Tithes,' only. abolished, have been fully
restored. The Church,reposing oa the ignorance of
'the mass, knows, that on the continuance of that
ignorance .its existence must depend. Hence
.the Inquisition has been claimed as a sine quit
non by the Theocracy. The King is but the
puppet; of the Church, to which he owes
his restoration, foe the arms of . the French
would have effected little had not the Clergy
paralyskl the mass. All amelioration. in the'
condition of the SPan'ish and 'Portuguese, na-
tions, is therefere incinnpatihle with the Go
yernments which have been .established. These
Governments must be thrown down. before the
least hope.of even an alleviation ,of evil can ,be
entertained. These truths are perfectly well
known to.the ;unprincipled- men motto ornpose the.
French Government. A, writer. in .the Journal:
des paats of Sunday, whom we are not fur,
wrong perhaps in taking :to. be- M. de Cha-
teaubriand, has as good as told' us, indeed,:
that the .condition, ,of Spain is' hopeless. After'
a pompous explosion of what the true friends of,
legitimate INotiartihy would vilsh in Spain, he.
launehed into a .piece of unmeaning Ilat(ery,
which one should think would nauseate even
Royalty itself."--r" These, sentiments are in
