Republicanism in France, according to M. DE
LAMARTINE, is secure because of the multitude of its
enemies. There is a wisdom in the remark. If it
were opposed, says the Dictator of February, by
but a single antagonist, it might fall before his am-
bition. Instead of this, however, it has a variety of
foes both within and without the walls of the As-
sembly, all of them abhorring each other more
thoroughly than any one of them abhors the Re-
public. Scarcely one conspirator against demo-
cracy, writes L AMAnTINE, but says to another—" I
prefer my own principles to the Republic, but I prefer
the Republic to you !" Hence the safety of the present
institutions of France even in the midst of so much
virulent and fanatical opposition. It is in this wise
that the moderate Republicans can afford to regard
serenely and almost with indifference the
"Hopes and fears that kindle hope,
An unextinguishable throng,"
with which vitality is preserved in the bosoms of
those long-expiring and all but defunct factions, the
Orleanists, the Bourbonists, and all the other sections
of the great party known collectively by the title of
Royalists or Legitimatists. Yet, while it must
be confessed that there are these guarantees of
safety for the French Republic, it nevertheless
behoves the supporters of it, and more especially
its principal originators, to keep a watchful and a
wary eye upon the movements of its antagonists, so as
to render any surprise by them a matter of absolute
impossibility. Before twelve months have elapsed the
destinies of the nation will have been in so definitiveia
manner revealed, the time rapidly drawing on which
is to witness the election for the Presidency and the
revision of the Constitution.
" Measures not men" is an old cry, but little
apprehended in its true significance. Scarcely
better understood, we may say, than it was
on the occasion which first roused the
latent genius and dormant energies of Mr. CANNING.
According to the phrase used by the DIVINITY Him-
self, men can only be known by their fruits, and the
fruits of public men, men of politics, statesmen and
administrators, are their measures. Reasoning, as
logicians express it, in a circle, a system of argument
in some instances not only allowable but necessary,
we may observe, moreover, that as surely as men
may be known by their measures, measures may be
conjectured from the character borne by public
men, that is from their recognized reputa-
tions. It appears to us, therefore, always
preposterous to harp thus erroneously upon the old
and blundering distinction—" measures not men."
Rather say we, measures and men, or, reversing the
order of their position, men and measures. With
France particularly this precaution seems to be im-
peratively required, otherwise she may find herself,
under the most specious and illusory promises of im-
provement in the way of governance and legisla-
tion, handed over to the mercies of either designing
conspirators or visionaries. Within the three years
and upwards which have elapsed since the
date of their last Revolution, the citizens
of the French Republic have been afforded ample op.
portunities for estimating properly the value of their
principal politicians. Sifted continually through the
ballot-boxes of the Assembly, the names of the po
pular representatives have been tried by a thousand
tests, and long before this the world at large has per-
ceived which amongst them has come forth deficient
in, or replete with, patriotism. From her Parliamen-
tary experiences, therefore, if from nothing else,
France may learn where it would be most and where
least advisable for her to look for the men wbo
are to aid her in developing her Democratic Govern-
ment. Admirably does M. DE LAMARTINE respond
to the factious cries of the enemies of Republicanism
in France by questions as terse as they are signifi-
cant. " Vive le Roi !" exclaim the Legitimatists,
and LAMARTINE baffles them by the inquiry, "And
what King ?" " Viva l'Empereur I" cry the Bona-
partists ; and LAMARTINE replies in the same truly
Celtic fashion by the query, "And what Emperor ?'
Shall it be to the grandchild of a ruined schemei in
kingcraft, a bankrupt in repute as a ruler before he be-
came the outcast of an infuriated population : shall it be
to such a one as this that France is to bend the knee
in more than primitive abasement ? Shall it be to
the last barren and effeminated son of her ancient
dtynasty, the dynasty which sank into insignificance,
hough propped up by a series of armed restorations,
shall it be to
fence so lon an effete and enervated authority like
his that the Republic is to veil her glory in a peni-
than either of

these be to the representa-
tive of that greater hero than all others of
modern times, who, as MINERVA, started in arms from

Nevertheless, she cannot but in grati-
tude remember the hand to which
she owes so
many benefactions and so much glory, the hand
that raised her
from the degradation of a de-
tested and insulted reb&l among the nations to be
their mistress for nearly a quarter of a century, the
hand that conferred upon her
that wondrous code of
laws which has grown into the prototype and admi-
ration of Christendom, the
hand that fostered the
hand that drew order
from the abyss of Anarchy, the
arts, that beautified the cities, that
adorned the
palaces, that encouraged the manufactures, that che-
rished the commerce, that cut out the roads and
ex-
cavated the docks of the whole land, and, in addi-
tion to all this, strangled the hydra of national
infidelity, and raised up anew the desecrated altars of
Religion. To these memories, if to any, France
will look back with affectionate enthusiasm, Slid the

"Having considered Article 2 of the Decree of the
25th April, 1851, the Court orders the imprisonment for
six months of Count Guicciardini, at Volterra; of Cesar
Magrini, at Montieri; of Angiolo Guarducci, at Giun-
carico; of Fidele Betel, at Orbitello; of Charles Solaini,
at Ciniglano; of Sabatino Borsieri, at Rocca Strada; and
, of Joseph Guerra, at Piumbilio.
" A true copy.—For the Secretary,
" A. SAMBOCIII, First Commissioner."
In order properly to appreciate the bearing of this
sentence, it should be remembered that Volterra is
situated in the centre of the most deadly district of
the Maremma, that the summer months are i❑ that
district the most fatal, and that therefore the sen-
tence of Count GUICCIARDINI is tantamount to a sen-
tence of death. If the Ecclesiastical Titles Bill pro-
posed to punish the Papal usurpers of territorial
titles wi:h six months' imprisonment in the common
goal of Sierra Leone, such a sentence would scarcely
equal in severity the sentence passed upon Count
PATER GUICCIARDINI. Most truly did Mr.
JOHN REYNOLDS say that be as a Ro-
manist abhorred toleration—as a proof of it we ap-
peal to this sentence of the Court of Florence. What
the Romanist brawlers mean by liberty is, liberty to
persecute and to destroy all who differ from them ; as
the thief means by liberty, liberty to rob, and the
Thug, liberty to cut throats. Therefore, even as we
place the thief and the Thug under wholesome re-
straint, even as we refuse to permit children to meddle
with firearms or with fire, so it is not persecution, but
purely self-defence, to keep the physical power a little
in check of those who are so completely the slaves of
their sacerdotal masters that they literally and truly
" dare not call their souls their own."

THE FRENCH REPUBLIC.

We have received the Paris journals of yesterday.
They continue at considerable length their disqui-
sitions on the real composition of the Committee on
the Revision of the Constitutien. Since it now appears
next to a certainty that the question of a revision will
be decided negatively, the manner in which the Com-
mittee is made up is a matter of comparative indiffer-
ence.

The Ordre is very severe against the Bonapartists,
charging them with being the only section of the
party of order which wants to upset the Constitution.
It appeals to Conservatives to unite on the ground of
maintenance of law ; and advises that petitions in
favour of revision be henceforth discouraged, as calcu-
lated to mislead the people, by raising their expecta-
tions of a revision being intended, which is now found
to be impossible.
The Opinion Publique considers that the proceed-
ings which have just taken place is the bureaux, put
all hopes of a revision being carried in a legal manner
out of the question.
The Constitutionnel makes an effort at reconciling
the Legislative and Executive powers, by showing
'hat each had committed faults, with this difference,
that Louts NAPOLEON, always ready to recognise an
error whenever led into such, merits the consideration
due to an honest, well-intentioned man. The country
has plainly spoken in his favour—it desires the Re-
public,
with Louis NAPOLEON at its head ; and all
differences, observes the Constitutionnel, ought to give
way before the general will, calmly and energetically
expressed.
A manifesto from the European Central Democra-
tic Committee has appeared. The document, after
declaring that the object in view is to form a holy
alliance of nations, the device of which ought to be
liberty, association, and employment; and after
stating that the committee desires neither anarchy nor
scenes of terror, proceeds thus :
" The mission of the Central Committee is European,
and its work is one of an international character. To
rally the efforts of the various populations to a common
source and inspiration; to represent in action the con-
joint responsibility which exists between the emancipa-
tion of each of them and that of all; to strengthen the
ranks of those combating for the holy cause of right,
wherever they are to be iound; to prepare the ground
tor an alliance of those nations which shall gain the vic-
tory over that now in force amongst kings, for a congress
of nations which shall replace that of Vienna, still exist-
ing and in action; to remodel, according to the xishes
of the populations, the map ot Europe; to smooth down
the obstacles which the prejudices of race, the reminis-
cences of monarchical wars, and the artifices of govern-
ments opposed to that prospect—such is the object of
our eollective labour.
" That object evidently cannot be attained unless it
takes for its starting point a common ground—viz., that
of the national sovereignty for each people, and of the
alliance, on the basis of equality ot all emancipated
nations.

" No sovereignty is national which does not embrace
in its object and its expression all the elements forming
a nation—the universality of the citizens composing the
state. The democtatical conception is then, in our
opinion, a condition inseparable from a nation.
" Democracy has only one logical form, that of the
republic; and the republican principle cannot be said to
be applied to a nation, it it does not embrace, by binding
them together, all the branches of human activity, all the
aspects of life in the individual and for association. Our
work is consequently republican, deniocratical, and
social; and it is ior all nations that we invite the alliance
of all kinds of devotedness. The rest lies within the
duties of the national committees.

" Each of them has the right—and the duty to study
and to draw out, as a preparatory work for his country,
the special solution which is called for by the moral, the
economical, and the social condition of the country; in
the same way as in every state it is the right and the
duty of every citizen to draw out and propose the solu-
tion, which he considers the best, of the problems which
are there agitated. The people—the judges in the last
appeal—will decide.

"The European Central Committee may watch that
these solutions, by quitting the common ground, beyond
which there can be neither justice nor right, do not
throw the leaven of inequality, of discord, and of struggle
into the bosom of the affiance of peoples; it has no
'power beyond that. Neither man-King nor people-King
The people, which should pretend to substitute its so-
lution for the solemn problems which present themselves
in a different manner in each country would be guilty
of an act of usurpation, in the same way as an individual
or a school which should pretend, by making of it
a sine qua non of co-operation, to impose its own inspi-
ration on its brethren, would bo guilty of an act of ty-
ranny, and would violate the vital idea of democracy—
the d,,gma of collective sovereignty. Neither the one
nor the other would comprehend anything of the one
and multiple life of humanity. In order to discover, to
judge, and to apply any particular formula, it is neces-
sary to exist—ull to live the life which ferments in all free,
f, and loving. Do the people now live? Are they at
liberty to express their wishes, their tF ndencics, and
their joint aspirations? Can they love and in-
crease a hundredfold in fraternal activity, their
faculties and their strength, in the midst of that atmog-
phere of corruption, of mistrust, of oppression, and of
espionnuye which surrounds them? It is necessary be-
fore all to recal them to life and to action. It is neces-
sary to op. nto them the great roads of liberty. It is
necessary, in order that noble and great ideas should
arise in their hearts, to efface from their foreheads the
disgraceful mark of slavery. Their intelligence must be
imbued with the enthusiasm of a collective life, of Ant
