These nre among the contrasts now presented
by a country convulsed in every part, and dc-7
ve.ured by a compFration of disorders which must
either soon be removed by proper remedieS; or
tiper trill reach a crisis which it is dreadful to eon-.
tem?latt; whether as confined to France, or as
affecting the whole body politic of Europe.

The Meeting of the Chambers which, however

'misrcinescnted by the disloyal inFrance,assurcdly
constitute the most legitimate organ of the senti-
ments of :the People which has been formed since

the year 1789, has already produced one. great
effect in overthrotving"the odious Ad;nini<tiation
‘vhich circumstances had imposed on the King.—
The Addresses of many of the nepartrnents and
Electoral Colleges •has further strengthened the
Royal Power, and sheVen the falsehood of all those
wicked pretences which the interest of the rebels
and conspirators induced theta to desseminate. The
discuss,ons which will

legislature, will still more developc the state of the
internal dispositions of France.. We shall then he

better able to see- on what side the majority
and weight of the public is ranged. This
will again lead to the application of treat-

meta niost proper to restore the Country to a

sane habit, and render, it fit for rest in itself,
and the :communion of Other Nations. In these
points of view,.,,we consider the Opening of the
Session next Monday as an important era, but as
for the first acts of the Legislature ti:cy cannot be
expected to possess any very powerful or bnrAe-
diate .efficacy upon the condition of France.

Some German Papers reached town last night,
containing the Appeal of the/States of Ma lm-
berg to the COurts of Great Britain, Prussia, and
Denmark, claiming the restoration of the rights
of the People of Wurtemberg, as prescribed; by
the Constitution,, of which these Powers arc gua-
rantees. It still be found in our last page.—This
kingdom continues to be in a most disturbed
state: The dissent ions arc not only betiveen the
King and the People, but between the King and
his Son.—The Crown Prince, a young man of
great vigour and abilities, has warmly espous-
ed the cause of the People, who claini the
restitution of those Constitutional rights. -which
were trampled upon and abused by_ the sys-
tem of BUONAFA,RTE, as soon as their Soveretgn
became his tool. With an infatuation which
is quite intolerable, the King withholds these
rights. and opposes the wishes of his people with
great cunning and perseverance. Under these cir-
cumstances, we must hope that this appeal will
have a proper effect.

The dispute between the Seamen and Ship-

THE TRAVELLER ABOUT PARIS.

(No. X.)

PARIS, SEPT. (2/.

France offers no solid,grounds for future ame-
lioration. This is the general opinion. Perhaps
idadequately formed hut like all popular feelings
not incapable of verifying itself. The great im-
pulses which give vigour and shape to a state of
peace are wanting. There is no reliance 'on. the
King, who is cinisidered to be bound hand and
foot' by his wo-Ministers.*, Those men are sup-
posed to be too deeply .Dusied about their perso-
nal safety to be able to spare time for the duties
of Statesmen. Struggling for life in the waters,
they lta4:e neither the strength nor the security
which might enable them to lay the fottndations

of future calmness, those more massive piers and
embankments that require all the resources of sa•
gacity and science, the wisdom of undisturbed
minds, and the vigour of assured power. I have
been snrpriced to hear the plainness with which
these sentiments are expressed; whatever ,r-e•
straints.way hate fallen upon the liberty of the
press, the liberty of speech has been left in full
.
luxuriance, and there seems to be little hesitation
in applying the most contemptuous terms to the
'tailing Functionaries. The scandal falls heaviest
un the highest, and Talleyrand and Fouch4 are
fearlessly described, the one as, a weak and tor-
tuotts politician, tnaking up for his want of honest
views by his superabundance of feeble subtlety,

looking to the Foreigners for his support against
the King, and to the King for his support against
the people ; still a Priest, but without the virtues
of bis,religion, still a Jacobin, but without the
boldness of his sect. Holding but one principle,
that of convenience, and one determination, that
of keepingliis place under all changes of men,
times and circumstances. Fouch6 is sketched in
stronger colours ; active, keen, daring, he would
have been distinguished in any great public day of
tumult. His facility of principle would have
made him pliant to the prevailing party, his prac-
tical acquaintance with the worst part of Human
Nature would have made burn useful to desperat*:
men, and without personal intrepidity or early
'knowledge, he would have risen to the most confi-
dential., if not the mast brilliant situations. Less
a politician than Talleyrand, he is more to be
dreadea as a demagogue. His long official- rela-
tions( have given him a crowd of habitual depend-
ants among the darker classes of society ; even
among the middle order, a few occasional relaxa-
tions of his tyranny under i\ :poison have passed
into arguments of some latent kindness of nature,
and his disgrace under the Usurper 11..3 been
urged in proof of his fitness and fidelity under a
legitimate King.

If in those men there .is no hope, there is
scarcely more in the leaders of the Constitu-
'tional party. •La Fayette, and Lanjuinais, are
covered with contempt. The facts of the Revo-
lution are forgotten, but the characters of its
abettors have been too often introduced before
the people to be deprived of a 'single shade, and
the general cry is, that the Legislature will as-
semble to make speeches, and after a fortnight's
specious folly, dissolve to make—a Revolution.—
" To this complexion" they are resolute in avowing
that it will come at last. Nothing is said of the
Jacobin leaders, but when, that mine is ready for
explosion they will appear, and doubtless with
arms and preparation widely different from the puny
boasting and unpurposed ambition of their rivals.
This contempt of the Legislature is the Most for-
symplom for the tranquilizationof France.

There is a prevalent opinion that the whole mass
of the elections has been vitiated by the ministe-
rial influence, and that the Chambers will meet
only to register the decrees of a Cabinet made in-
solent and oppressive by"revengc and power.—
When the stimulus of the system cannot find its
outlet by the milder and more usual conduits, it
must be thrown ont into fever. The great ba-
lances and preservatives which sometimes give a
strength beyond all the forms and exterior shows
of kConstitution, the union of powerful interests,
the attachment sf public opinion, the connection
of the higher orders of intellect ‘vith a Govern-
ment which offers them the fairest chance of risirg

to distinction, are all Wanting here. Public opi-

nion' cannot have taisen its strongest shape in he-

reditary respect, or even in vigorous and habitual

prejudice, because the King is looked on as a man

dropt from the clouds ; the throne, only as the
highest prize in tl►e revolutionary lottery. the

, -
ambition of the few well-instructed men of France

has no resource in the Government. In England,
