A pari,sian Correspondent of the, Allgemeine Zeitrogi No.•
• 44, 41.2-Ith March, endeavours to sex'plain the brilliantresult of
the late elections' for the Charnberecif Deputies, by the bold..
/leas with which the Ministry disregarded. the
,political cell-
, • sciences of those electors, who, at the same time, held offices
under Government, and to whom no alternative was left, but
either to declare in favour orthe,royliTist,candidate,. or. to lose..
their places, while any Ministers that 'Should act otherwise,
• and- really allow the. tender political conscience of it serVant..
of the King . to -decide 'in -favour.•,ol,..llcrs. Manuel, La-
fayette, and Co., must be accused, to speak' in ',the gentlest
- terms; of a treaeonable.•-negligenCei- Tina correspondent
• • .of the All,Temeine Zeitiorg, endeavours to represent this
conduet ofsthe Ministry, as a "skiltal manceuire ofethe pre-.
• • • dominant corruption,. and even.: to put into the Mond!' of .a
efrench Minister, the loolishiwords "-when the' btisiness is
,accomplished, success: makes --every•thing forgotten." We
• should have paid no „attention ..to• those expressions of single
diecontented straggler;:itt,the train of the Revolution, were
-it not wrth -white, -on -this occasion...to call to mind, that with
the other political disorders. in .Europe, the .differenee has
ceased, wliieh 'had crept in, between die:service of the State
- and that of the Sovereign, by which it was allowed to serve the
King ,witbehnhand, sail. at the: saute time the King's bitterest
" enemies lvith heart and lips; and that besides the religious
conscience, there is henceforth no distinct under-political' con-
- science, the freedom of which Governments have to respect in
their servants. Even the .linitish Ministera themselves;- how-
ever free they may exercise of-their functions,
,must
• .trialre innumerable sacrifices and 'coneesaionet of their private
• !opinions before they Enter ern the office ; how then sliould 'an
eianconditionel liberty of political opinions he adinie,ible in the
monarchically .cpestituteti.States of the Continent? In times
;when- moral and honourable sentiments predominate, a man
••••who had.-taken-an.oath to -serve his masteroOduld think it an
:." insult ,to.his- honour-if a etecond:were. required of him by which
'he should bind.himSelfto.serve or. to pay any imaginary being,
whether it were called state,"sahis publics, or public opinion, .
:rather than. his master. But we-were so• dishonoured and de.
:lulled by the equivocation or the .revolutionary doctrines, that
she dignity of. the public servant appeared precisely to consist.
in that der hie dealing. No reproach can be Made to the
..French Ministry, except that it did-not, by a Royal Ordinance,
at once proclaim, as of general application, the important prin.
oiple on which it partially acted in the elections that have* Just
-terminated.
