LONDON, THURSDAY, FEB. 4, 1853.

The extraordinary activity displayed by the
French Government in introducing new measures
—most of them of a repressive or coercive cha-

racte; clearly indicate that the Emmon a

length sees the necessity of setting his house in
order. The existence of a plot of which the police
had no previous knowledge, has excited grave ap-
prehensions lest another of a similar description
might terminate more fatally. Unfortunately the
EXPIROR does not perceive the necessity of con-
ciliating his people, or winning their respectful
love and affection, and thus rendering every true-
hearted Frenchman a devoted guard, who would
sacrifice even life itself before any danger should
Dome to his Sovereign. In place of that course
whieh would paralyse
aaasin the aim and distract the
assassin, lava of the
is striving to rivet the
al:tains more firmly on ' h
theire limbs, to gag and fetter
the
his subjects, and render Government of France
a pure autocracy. Free discussion
is altogether
public
suppressed not only in the
journal,, but
in the cafés, and even in private so
true that the word " publicly" has been inserted
It is
nte
in the bill, but we are yet to learn what ire
tation will be given to that phrase, or whether it
'will not be extended to any place where even two
or three are assembled together, and where the
conversation may chance to turn on political
*vents, judging from the ready subservience
exhibited in other matters. We cannot consider
the insertion of that simple word, although a
decided improvement, sufficient to remove the
Well-grounded objections that prevailed against the
obnoxious provisions.
The worst clause of all, however, is that which
authorises the imprisonment, or banishment, or
expulsion of every individual who has been either
Of-mdemned or removed to the interior, expelled
or transported, as a measure of general security,
on account of the events of May or June, 1848,
of June, 1849, or of December, 1851, and whom
serious facts again point out as dangerous to public
reettrity. This is virtually a return to the lettres
de cachet and protracted, perhaps permanent, im-
prisonment to the creation of a new Bastile, and i
ill.) r, not merely of simple extradition, but
