WHAT IS A DOCTRINNAIRE ?

FARIS, OCT. 9, 1832.

WHAT IS A DOCTRINNAIRE ? AND WHY DO WE DESIRE
TO KEEF THEM OUT OF OFFICE ? This question has
reached me in let era from England. has been addressed to
French Peers and French Deputies, to French patriots and
French public writers, by Peers, commoners, patriots and
writers on your side of the Manche; and to crown all, the
question has been proposed by the organ of these ver}•
doctrinnaires—even by the Journal des Debate. In my
very last letter to the Chronicle I pointed out to you who
were doctrinnaires, and you will recollect I mentioned the
names of Broglie, Royer Collard, Bertin Devour, and
Guizot. I could give you fifty ether names, but four are
as good as four hundred for the sake of illustration.
WHAT IS A DOCTRINNAIRE ? A Doctrinnaire is a HUD
who in all times, and under all regimes in France, has at-
tached himself to the interests of a coterie instead of the
mass, and who has contrived to keep out of view the real
questions which interest the people, by metaphysical poli-
tics and transcendental theories. The Doctrinnaires are a
sort of metaphysical political sect, who are remarkable
for their esprit de corps—who make war, not by attack,
but by defection—who did not take up arms against Charles
X., or vote against him in the Chambers—but who would
not vote at all, and who, not having the courage to be open
and vigorous enemies, are satisfied with seeing those
lose the day who do not follow their counsels. Their
High-priest is M. Royer Collard—their Mission iry
at the Chamber of Peers is the Duke de Broglie—
and their ancient Parliamentary tactician is M. Guizot.
They act always together—they sometimes are 11
beral—or at least more so than at others—and at other
times are carried away with a love for Royalty and all that
is Sovereign. Their secret is " power".—their power is
" sovereignty"—their best-loved sovereignty is " legiti-
macy;" and their object is " place—profit—and the
means of governing France by their doctrines and tenets."
They always oppose national wishes. They have a pro-
found contempt for the " vulgar." They ask what
right the people have to meddle in affairs of Government,
and what right shopkeepers have to discuss systems of state
policy ? They always adopt the unpopular side of each
question, and have no sort of passion except it be that
of the love of contradiction. A Doctrinnaire objects
to Charles X. being called " Ex-King"--objects to
the anniversary of the execution of Louis XVI. being
abolished as a fast day, and are now ever hankering
after a quasi legitimacy. The Doctrinnaires are a
small party—have no young men on their side, have not
more than a dozen chiefs, and a few hundred disciples in
all France, and yet, by their speciousness and their talent,
contrive to have all their leaders in the Chamber of De-
puties, or else in the chamber of Peers. They say that
their party is only composed of superior spirits—and that
superior spirits can alone understand them—and so they
will not condescend to spe.k to us poor mortals of the
" pit "—but only address themselves to the "dress boxes."
But the " dress boxes " never fight—and so when a Re-
volution or an Insurrection arrives, the Doctrinnaires
take to their heels, and you see and hear nothing more of
them till they no longer run the chance of losing their
heads. Their motto is " May France perish rather than
a principle "—and that principle is often all nothing more
than legitimacy.
WHAT IS A DOCTRINNAIRE?—A Doctrinnaire is one
of the members of a little political and philosophical co-
terie, called the doctrine. But what is the doctrine as a
political party ? Let me tell you. It was born during
the first revolution—but it was not courageous enough to
show itself openly, till the first restoration. It laboured
secretly during the last days of the Empire to bring back
the Bourbon race with foreign bayonets. Its intrigues
began with the emigration—and were continued during
the Convention—and under the Directory, the Con-
sulate, and the Empire. In 1814, the doctrine or the
doctrinnaires embraced the restoration as its own work,
and loved it as its own child. It saw in the resoration
the triumph of legitimacy, and, what was more valuable
to this knot of philosophers, the triumph of the party
of the doctrine. The Doctrinnaires got the best pl lets,
and shouted loudest " Vive le Roi"—and when Napoleon
returned for the hundred days, the Doctrinnaires,
or at least the leaders, absconded to Gand, and there pub.
lished for Louis XVIII. the official Moniteur 1 But
when the Duke of Berry was assassinated, the Doctrin-
naires were turned out of office—the absolute party came
into power—and then M. Guizot, Broglie, Royer Collard,
&c., established a party of defection—never, however, in-
tending to overthrow the Monarchy, but only to get into
office again. In 1830, the Doctrinnaires came forwar I
to seek for place—not in order to march with the Revolu-
tion, but to march against it—and as the doctrine does
not find itself strong enough to overthrow the Revolution,
and bring back at once Henry V.—it contents itself for the
present with impeding the march of liberty in other coun-
tries, and with endeavouring to disgust France with the
Revolution of July. The system of the 13th of M irch
the Doctrinnaires supported, not because they considered
it the best—but because it was the least popular, and be-
cause they thought it would prepare the way for their
arriving at power and place. This is a Doctrinnaire! !

Now you will not he surprised that we wish to keep
these persons out of office—and that their failure during
the last seven days has inspired the nation with unqua-
lified satisfaction. The Doctrinnaires ruined the Resto-
ration, and now they seek to ruin the royalty of the Bar-
ricades. But France is on her guard--and they will this
time find that their party is powerless. An out-and-out
Royalist is an honest man, who has adopted a bad system ;
but a Doctrinnaire is a dishonest man, who has adopted
no system but a selfish and mercenary one. An out-and-
out Royalist may love his country as well as his King ;
hut a Doctrinnaire loves neither, except they are subser-
vient to his views and his interests. This is a Doctrin-
naire ! and you cannot be surprised that we wish to keep
him out of power and office. O. P. Q.

The Earl of CLONMELL is gone to Ireland
to sojourn a few weeks at his seat in Clonmell. His Lord-
ship is represented to be one of the many Irish absentee
Noblemen who are extensive landed proprietors, and who
rarely reside en their estates.

SIR W. SCOTT.—Last week a meeting of
the friends and admirers of Sir WALTER SCOTT took
place at Mr. MURRAY'S, in Albemarle-street, when Lord
DOVER was called to the chair; and, after some conversa-
tion it was agreed to appoint a Committee of Noblemen
and Gentlemen to consider of the best means of testifying
their respect for the memory of the mighty dead. Since
that period many distinguished persons have been asso-
ciated in the design, the particulars of which we trust
very speedily to communicate to the public.—Literary
Gazette.

INTENDED GRAND PAGEANT AT DRURY-
LANE THEATRE IN HONOUR OF SIR WALTER SCOTT,—
Saturday Rob Roy is to be acted at Drury-lane, with all
the strength of the house. At tie close of it a view of
Abbotsford, the late residence of Sir WALTER, which is
said to be one of the finest things STANFIELD has ever
done, will be presented. The principal characters of the
" Waverley" novels will then pass in procession as those
Of SHAKSPEARE's plays did in GARRICK'S jubilee.—
MACREADY, COOPER, BRAHAM, HARLEY, and all the
principal actors, will assist on this occasion, which, besides
being a well-timed compliment in honour of departed
genius, will furnish a spectacle such as has rarely been wit-
nesstd on the boards of a theatre.

COVENT-GARDEN THEATRE.--WC are
sorry we cannot give a favourable account of the revival
of All's Well that Ends Well. Why it is chosen for
representation at Covent-Garden we cannot imagine. To
those of the audience unacquainted with the play as writ-
ten, it must, last night, though more than half omitted
and reduced to three acts, have been as tedious as it was
unmeaning. The music, original, and selected by LAcy,
was not of a character to redeem it from its pervading
dulness; and the two ladies and the gentleman who divided
the songs between them never sang so little to the satis-
faction of the audience, as, we fear, their ears must have
frequently and painfully certified to them. They appeared
as though merely rehearsing the music ; and this is the
most charitable construction to put upon their deficiencies,
as it does not imply a fear that they will do no better on
repetition. A masque, not in the original, was introduced
in the first act. It was formed of an episode from the
Midsummer Night's Dream, and, though by no means
what it might or should have been, was the most pleasing
part of the performance. The house was well attended.
We can add one proof to the many which
daily present themselves of the respect in which the
memory of Sir WALTER SCOTT is held in England by all
classes of the people. In the Loves of Me Devils, now
performing at the New Strand Theatre, the " Gentleman
in Black," who rules in Hades,is made to refer to certain
recent deaths in this: upper world, and among others
to that of young NAPOLEON, of numberle:s Poles, and,
lastly, to that of Sir WALTER. SCOTT. The Monarch
pronounces them all profitless to him : the first
had never ascended a throne, and was, therefore,
unstained by crime ; the second had died in defence of
their country, and of the third he observed, that he had
not written a line which even he could carp at. The
sentiment is every Hight received with shouts of applause
by the audience. The reci•ption of the Pageant (it it be
the kind of thing we hope to see) at Drury-lane to-night,
will however afford another test of the state of public
feeling in London, which caunot but be highly gratifying
to our northern friends.

BLOOD! BLOOD!! BLOOD!!! ANOTHER,

TITHE SLAUGHTER.

The police, yesterday morning, proceeded from Piltown
to Ballygorey, a village within about five miles of this city,
in the county of Kilkenny, to post notices for tithe claimed
by the Rev. Francis Newport, which they commenced
doing by putting one on a pump in the above village.
While in the act of doing so, some women and children,
with a few men and boys, came up, and followed them,
shouting at intervals. After they had posted the notice,
they then proceeded through the village, which is one of
the most populous in the county, without being in the
smallest degree molested. On reaching the upper part of
the village the police went into the fields, and were exercised
in several military evolutions, as if to prepare them for
the dreadful work which they were about to perform.
They then proceeded towards Monveen, a village on the
banks of the Suir, belonging to Mr. Congreve, and im-
mediately opposite to Mount Congreve, and when about
h ilf-way they turned into a field, and were a second time
exercised. They then crossed through the fields towards
Carrigeen, without meeting the least obstacle or annoy-
ance, ► xcept an occasional shout from the crowd that fol •
lowed them, which consisted of about 250 persons, prin-
cipally women, but who now received an addition to their
numbers from the children of the parochial school, about
tO of whom joined them. The crowd thus formed were
scattered in detached groups through the fields, and now
and then continued to shout after the police. They had
no weapons of any description ; there were no stones
thrown, nor was there any disposition shown on the part
of the people to give the least opposition to the pollee.
The crowd were now ordered by the commander of the
police to disperse, which they did not do ; for hiv-
ing no intention to commit a breach of the p‘ ace
themselves, they thought the police would not do so
either. The police, at this time, were on the road, and
the people inside in the fields, but at such a distance as
not to bear any conversation that occurred between the
commander of the party and the police. The police
shortly afterwards went into a field, a little elevated ov, r
he one in which the people were, and the commander of
the party again ordered the people to disperse, which
was answered by another shout from the women and
children, immediately after which the police commenced
in indiscriminate fire among the unsuspecting and de-
fenceless peasantry, and melancholy to relate, one young'
woman, aged 17 years, was shot dead !—a young lad,
named Joseph Sinnott, the only son of a widow, was
mortally wounded ; he was shot in the small of the back,
and the ball passed out at the abdomen ; another, also a
wen lad, a servant to a farmer, received a ball in the
cheek, which passed out at the opposite side, and shattered
eis tongue; a third young man was also wounded.
Since the above was put in type, a respectable person!
called at our office, and informed us of some circumstance!,
attending the horrible affair, which, if true, proves pretty'
clearly that some of our Conservative police are infinitely
more barbarous than the savage Indians of America.
When the people Bed, after having been fired on, the po-
lice went to the spot where they had been standing, to
sscertain the number of the peasantry who were killed arid
wounded; amongst the latter was Smoot, the young mars
through whose body a ball had passed, and who was
ly-
tog in the most excruciating agony when the police came
up. One or two of the ruffians laid hold of him by the
shoulder, and dragged him about the field, vociferating
that the bloody rascal was not dead yet !" A poor crip•
pie, who obtains a livelihood by selling a little hardware
to the farmers, and who was amongst the crowd when the
liming commenced, being unable to run • away, lay down
oehind a hedge, and was there discovered by a policeman,
who, whilst the unfortunate cripple was calling for mercy
deliberately fired his gun at him; the ball passed through
the breast of his coat, and grazed his waistcoat, fortunately
without doing Lim any further injury.
On their return through Rathkyran, those heroes en,
tered a public-house, and, as they were drinking, patted
each other on the back in exultation for the feat they hail
performed. We received the account of this horrible af-
fair at too late an hour to make any comment on it.
Dr. Briscoe, of this city, has been out to attend the un •
fortunate victims, and was horrified at seeing the manner
in which they were mangled, from the nearness at which
the shots must have been fired. The man whose face was
shattered is to be brought into Waterford this morning, to
be under the care of Dr. Briscoe. The unfortunate young
girl who was shot is now lying waking in the vil-
lage of Luffmny. The village is crowded with the people
of the surrounding districts, furious with rage and indig-
nation. A coroner's inquest is to be held this day on the
b idy of this poor young woman ; an opportunity will there-
by be afforded of bringing te light all the atrocities of this
horrid slaughter. We understand that several of the citi•
.ns of Waterford have determined on going to the place
to witness the investigation. We trust that sonic legal
gentleman from this city will take up this matter, as Mr.
O'Connell has taken up time carnage at Wallstowu. The
Wool of an innocent young woman, shot in her native
village, is crying aloud for vengeance.—Waterford Chro-
nicle, of Tuesday.

The Cabinet Ministers who assembled at the
residence of Sir JAMES GRAHAM, at the Admiralty, on
Wednesday evening, were Viscounts INIELBOURNE, PA L-
NIERSTON, ALTHORP, and Mr. STANLEY. The principal
members of the Administration were, however, absent.
The LORD CHANCELLOR and the Marquis of LANSDOWNE
were then out of town, and Earl GREY tray at East Sheen.
Ile Council was held, it is said, for the purpose of con-
sidering the proceedings to be adopted by Sir PULTEN EY
‘TALCOL3I, who on that day had a long interview with
the Right Hon. Baronet at the head of the Naval Council
of the empire.
Lord DURHAM proceeded on his special mis-
sion to St. I'etersburgh the second week in June, and was
consequently absent exactly four months. His Lordship
says he was treated with great kindness by the EMPEROR,
who gave several entertainments in honour of the English
Envoy Extraordinary. Lord DURHAM'S return from
Russia leaves two of the principal Continental Courts
without British Ministers of die rank of Ambassadors, and
no successor has yet been appointed to repl ice Sir SritAT-
roan CANNING at the Ottoman Porte.

Dr. BowRING left town last night, on his re-
turn to Paris, where he is gone to resume his official
I,kbours.

Sir CHARLES WETHERELL is still in Ox..
turd, and no doubt remains that his visit is for an elec-
-ioneering purpose, as we know that he has canvassed and
received many promises of support. Nothing at present
beyond conjecture can be known what would be the result
•If a contested election for this city with Sir CITA RLES for
one of the candidates. We understand the voters to be in
number little short of 2,300. Of these about two-fifths
Corm the new constituency, and it is from that body chi, fly
Sir CHARLES is thought likely to derive his prospect of
uccess--a supposition which, if true, is a most paradoxical
commentary on the effects of a Bill, upon the merits of
which public opinion has been co long and 60 hostilely
divided.--Since writing the above, Sir CHAS. WETHERELL
has announced himself a candidate.— Oxford Journal.
It seems certain that a fourth Judge, in the
room of the late Sir ALBERT PELL, will not again be ap -
pointed to the Court of Review. The fact has been lately
:ortnally announced by the Chief Judge ERSKINE in open
Court.

It is said that, besides Sir PETER LAURIE,
here is only another inst ince on record of a Scotchman
having been dected Lord Mayor of London—that of Alder-
man SttAW, who occupied the Civic Clytir some years
igo. Sir PETEa's election is made a matter of no little
importance north of the Tweed. "To Scotchmen it must
he particularly gratifying," says an Edinburgh I'aper, " to
•ce one of themselves unanimously and spontaneously chosen
to fill the office of Chief Magistrate of the first city in the
world."

Lord NUGENT was to embark yesterday af-
ternoon at Plymouth for his Government in the Mediter-

ranean.

TILE QUARTERLY DIVIDENDS.—Thus
morning the Quarterly Dividends commenced payin:T at
the Bank of England, amounting to about seven millions
sterling. The attendance of the public at the Bank was
not so numerous as on many previous occasions, and the
d..rnand for gold is not by ray means extensive. ne
banking interest signed for their dividends yesterday. Tile
several portions of the public debt upon which the divi-
dends are now payable are the Reduced Annuities, the
per Cents., the 3i per Cent. Reduced, the 4 per
Cents., Long Annuities, and Bank Stock. The transfer
