then their defects and vices. lie describes their
original system, after the late election law was car-
ried, to have been one of hideous corruption;
and, baffled in that by the Chamber of Peers
and the Courts of Justice, he states their amend-
ed system to be that of pure force, illustrated by
the Censorship ; the consequences of which ini-
quitous measure to the welfare of society, and
to the Government itself, are painted with power-
ful force and accuracy. " Every thing will be
inviolable in France, from the gensdarmes to
64 yourselves (the Ministers); only our proper-
" ties, our rights, our institutions, our lives, will
" not be so," " Can you state what violence
may not be committed henceforth with in).
cc punity ? You have robbed us even of our
" last refuge—the wisdom and mercy of
" the King. Truth has no longer any path
46 to the Royal presence. The Tuileries will
" suffer, as well as France herself, the law
44 of all Asiatic Governments—the lex talionis.—
" Among them the Prince is a captive, as his
" people are slaves. He is degraded, as his
" people are oppressed. But in Asia tire people
C 4 avenge their sufferings by a conflagration ; and
64 the Sultan by a bow-string. You know that,
" thanks to that article of the fundamental law
64 which declares you to be responsible, you have
nothing to fear from either. The Grand Viziers
" will envy you the Charte Constitulionelle."—
It is then foretold, as it has been here,
that the Ministry will become more violent
as it fancies itself more secure. Their fo.
reign policy is represented to be consistent
with the tyrannical spirit which prevails at
home—towards Spain—towards Greece ; and,
in their commercial system, towards Germany,
Switzerland, the Low Countries, the United
States, and St. Domingo. IVe have not time to
enter minutely into the reflections of this able
writer upon the internal condition of France
herself, and the action and re-action which are
likely to take place between the public interests
and.those of the Ministry, under the various as-
pects in which both are considered. His account
of the progress already made towards the resto-
ration of the Jesuits to absolute power over
Church and State, and over the mind of the na-
tion, is extremely interesting—and to a philan-
thropist not a little affecting. Nor are the names
and fates of Charles I. and of James 11., which
finished the career of the house of Stuart, re-
motely hinted at by M. Salvandi, or obscurely
applied to the course of French contingencies.
The sole weakness which we could perceive in
this pamphlet, with a view to its effect upon the
French people generally, was its apparent sub
serviency, on some points, to the interests o
M. de Chateaubriand.

EMOIINVYG POST.J
The Meeting of the Parish of St. Botolph, Aid-
gate, which we noticed yesterday, related to a
subject which, of late, has excited much attention
in the City. In this instance it appears the tithes
are the property of a lay-impropriator, and that
in a comparatively short period, he has raised his
demand from 6d. to 2a,9d. in the pound. For the
sake of the Established Church, which we have
always strenuously supported, it were to be
wished that these squabbles about its revenue
were at an end—for although the Tithe-owner
of St. Botolph be a mere layman, our venerable
Establishment is charged with all The injuries
inflicted by an individual, or at least strictly
imputable to him alone. We would also ob-
serve, in passing, that the increasing demands
which have been recently made by the Proprie-
tors of Tithes naturally provoke inquiry, which
tvould be better avoided, Will llr. Kynaston,
for instance, say that rents in the Parish of St.
Botolph have risen within the last 20 years io
the same ratio that he has raised the tythe ? Or,
will he further say that tithe is not accessary and
dependant upon rent, instead of being, as the
facts referred to would seem to suggest, a sort of
monster swallowing up not only rent but every
other produce of industry ? If it be true, as as.
gerted, that the-tithe of St. Botolph has been raised
from 04. to 2s. Od. in the pound in- a short
space of time, is it not eviderit that the lay
Impropritor has been running a race with ale Land-
lord, and has succeeded in completely distancing
the latter? Nay, is there not something deducible
from this statement, which shows that although
Tithe be a " Rent," it is, at least, in collection,
almost essentially different from other Rents—or
what may be called a more screwing exaction
than any which a Landlord would attempt to en.
force? The Legislature, we are certain, never in-
tended such to be the case; and we are equally cer.
twin, it never will allow so gross a perversion of its
will to pass without correction. Be it however
observed, that in
.expressing ourselves thus can-
didly, we do not in the remotest degree mean to
impugn the right to tithe either on the ' part of
the lay improviators or our legitimate Clergy.
