de Chateaubriand admits at the outset this
eseiblished principle of the Law of Nations, that
" no Government has a right to interfere in the
internal regulations of another •Government,
except in cases where its own immediate safety or
its essential interests are compromised ;." and
then appealing to the conduct of England for
examples of the practical application of this prin-
ciple, he cites our interference with the Revolu-
tinnery Government of France, and uur appro.
baliort of the Austrian invasion of Naples, as pre-
cedents` affording the high sanction of their au-
thority to the present policy of the French Go.
iernmm. It is singular that the language of
the Foreign Minister of France, and that of the
• . libellers of our Government in England,
should so exactly coincide. We say to one and
to the other, and for the thousandth time, that
the interference of Foreign nations with the
revolntionary Government of France, was the dic-
tate of evident, imperious,and uncontroulable ne-
cessity, that it was not only demanded by the
general sense of immediate danger impending
over all States, but provoked by direct menaces,
and grutuitous insults profusely poured forth
against every existing Government. We say
, that the approbation of England to the ..Neapo-
iitan invasion, is the, pure creation of M. de Cha-
t eaubriand's fancy, who appears in this instance
to have forgotten the characteristic merits which
' ought to distinguish the senatorial discourses of
a Statesman, from those overflowings of a roman-
' tic imagination, to which he is chiefly indebted
far his celebrity. England aiti not think that
' the dangPrs to Austria from the. Neapolitan revo.
lation, although the existence of danger in a
y. greater or less degree was undoubted, were so Oh..
vious, immediate or urgent, as to place her
within the exception to the great principle of
international law. The Emperor of Austria
possessed important dominions in Italy, the popu.
Wiwi of which was identified with that of Na.
'pies, certainly by a community of language, and
of national character ; probably by a commu-
nity of po!itical feelings and intentions. Is the
reciprocal
_action of enthusiastic minds upon each
eti,er sustained with the same intensity and
promptness between Madrid and Paris, its be-
, tween Naples and Milan ? Will the. Bourbons,
br M. de Chateaubriand, in their eagle acknow-
' ledge that they are foreigners ip France ? if
"AO, howls it that we now hear them confess si-
- **miler apprehensions, to those which actuated,
if they did not justify, the conduct of Austria
Idwards Naples ? This is felt by M. de Chateau
' briend to be so humiliating a view of his subject,
thet he hastens to escape from it, and to take
'refnge in the less degrading, though more difficult
labour of enumerating other distinct motives and
;. 4u4tificetions of war.

it would appear from the answer of Mr. Can•

ming to a queotion put to him laat night by Mr.
Brougham, that M. de Chateaubriand has un-
fairly given a quotation from an official Note of
out Foreign Secretary, containpig sentiments,
introduced merely for, the sake of being con•
treated by others, and contradicted by the ge.
tote, scope of, the argument. This is a species
of meanness in M. de Chateaubriand, at which,
corisi&wing. the character of the man, we are by

110 means SOrprisetf. There i$ a pretty close con-
_ _ _

ne4tion between flattery and falsehood, and in
bit, capacity of a sycophant IVl.de Chateaubriand
bat few rivals In Europe. However it Is enough
to know that full reliance is not to be placed on
Lis quotation ; the character of ,the Speaker is a
unitter of comparatively little interest in this
country, where fortunately the French emigrant
• nobility am tolerably well known. For our own
ink, we have no doubt that if the war which he
is eiow instigating should precipitate the .flour

lins, a,nd give their Throne to the young Napo.

iniclt trouble brought all the way from the River
Jordan for baptising, the infant Kin 4 of Rome.--

Chateuubrland, thete ore two which merit some-
what more particularly the wvice of Roglishmen.
