the journalist, still address ing himself to these baffled
traitors of Democracy, as sures them that the people
will protect them (the irtn,riguers) against the perils
of their own folly—that the people will force them to
respect the Constitution. by respecting it themselves—
that the people, in % word, in the teeth of all their
plots and machinations. will perpetuate the reign of
Democracy. "And meantime," he concludes,
"continue to intrigue as much as ever you
like against the Constitution, against the
Republic, against the People." Why, in
testimony of the wisdom and the reasonableness of
all this contemptuous indifference for party conspi,
racies, take the conclusion deliberately arrived at by
the foremost of all the English organs of legitimacy.
The Quarterly Review, in the number published this
very day, at the close of an elaborate analysis of the
cause, the career, and the character of the last French
Revolution, declares very explicitly, ".Whatever is to
be done must be the act of the nation at large, guided
not by the feelings of individuals, but by the ex-
perience of all—by the effect, in short, of public
opinion—regina del mondo—of the grand experiment
in which France has been so unfortunately involved,
but which she must work out." Immediately after-
wards adding " Time and events will teach the French
people whether a republic suits their tastes, their
temper, or their interests." Yet M. DE LA ROCHE-
JACQUELIN, in the perverse egotism of his judgment,
dreamt of surprising the Assembly into an abandon-
ment of the present secure ground of Republicanism,
and, by so doing, of startling the people into a timorous
treason to democracy. The hardihood of the attempt
is only to be equalled by its most pitiable failure—
the most daring of the upholders of Legitimacy
slinking away from the side of the unfortunate delin-
quent who thus hazarded and lost the fortunes of his
faction. Not a word of exculpation was audible from
the benches of the Right ! Not a vote was tendered
in support of the proposition! But, with a premoni-
tory protest on the part of M. Durex, yea even of
M. Dense, the Royalist President of the Legis-
lative Assembly, to the effect that the motion was
inadmissible from its illegal and unconstitutional
nature—the Legislature, with all its mighty pha-
lanx of Monarchists, crushes the proposition
with the silent unanimity of its condemnation.
The party, we should say the so-called party of
Order, have happily, by this ridiculous escapade, fully
and utterly committed themselves. So utterly, that
it is as if GUY FAWKI3S had boldly walked into the
House of Lords, on the assembling of King JAMES'S
Parliament, with that monster mask, and that
gigantic match, and that Brobdignagian lantern,
which are famili:4r to the frequenters of the regions of
Pantomime. To this eccentric incident in the
discussions of the Assembly we might apply
the title of °TWAY'S tragedy, it being, in fact
and in truth, nothing less than " Paris
Preserved, or the Plot Discovered." Not without
reason' have we intimated that the thanks of all
real Republicans are due to the unwitting blunder of
that PILL GARLicx of Legitimacy, the Honourable
Representative, M. DB LA ROCIILJACQUELIN.

THE FRENCH REPUBLIC.

We have received the Paris journals of yesterday.
The Ordre contains an article on Russia from the
pen of M. TRIERS, an article which fully justifies the
bold front which Lord PALiunasTosi has assumed in
regard to that most designing and unprincipled of the
European Powers, and which shows that war with
Russia is safer and cheaper than peace with her, so
long as she pursues her present crafty and encroaching
policy. Such an article from the pen of the personal
and political opponent of Lord PALMERSTON, is most
valuable, as it is an unwilling testimony borne to the
justice of his views and to the soundness of his
policy. M. TRIERS begins by saying that Russia
keeps up ber immense armaments for the purpose of
ruining the powers of the West by forcing them to keep
up large armies, which disorganize their finances
and ruin their credit. The article then proceeds
thus :

The Hon. Member for Buckinghamshire called
the attention of his constituents to the monstrous
injustice of their being required to pay ls. sd. in
the pound on the net annual valuation of
their lands, while other districts escaped far less than
a farthing. The Honourable Gentleman and the
party of which he is the recognised leader will,
therefore, be bound to support a more equitable as-
sessment, and as they are for the time being the espe-
cial pets of the Right Honourable Baronet the Chan-
cellor of her MAJESTY'S Exchequer, we cannot suppose
that Sir CIIARLES Wool), although devoted to the
laissez faire policy, could resist the proposition when
coming from such a quarter, more especially as it
would bring a considerable additional revenue to
the nation.

" To this fearful method (says the Ordre) of a forced
armament she employs a second means no less delusive,
that of an exaggerated custom-house system, rhich
amounts to a continental blocl.ade. Thanks to the die-
rnemberment of Poland, and the practical subjection in
which she holds the northern provinces of the Ottoman
empire, the Russian Government has become the master
of all the great lines of communication by which the
Austrian monarchy and the German Confederation
might have intercourse with the East. And what has
this Government done ? It has Wined these lines.
Upon the Niemen, the Pregel, the Vistula, and
a part of the Warts, the Cabinet of St. Peters-
bergh has, in contempt of the treaties of 1815, in-
terdicted not only exchange, but even transit. The im-
mense commerce in corn and Lithuanian timber, which
the Poles carried on with the ports of the Baltic, i❑
exchange for German manufactures, has ceased. Russia
has hermetically closed her frontiers against Germany.
At the same time master of the mouths of the Danube,
the Russian Government reigns over Austrian commerce
in the Black Sea, against which it is every day raising
fresh obstacles,"

If the land-tax were fairly and equitably agessed,
according to the original intention of Parliament,
it would not only provide for the entire expenditure
of the country and the maintenance of all our national
establishments, with full efficiency, but also for the
interest of the public debt, that incubus that paralyses
the energies of our industrious population. It was
never intended to apply only to real estate, although
the owners of personal property have, as in the case
of poors-rate, continued to evade all liability. It
was, in fact, a property-tax, by which every descrip
tion of property was bound to contribute to the
national exigencies at the rate of 4,. in the pound,
on the annual value, or 20s. in the 100/. on
the capitalised value. Now, the accumulated
property of the country has been estimated to amount
to no less than two hundred and fifty millions of
pounds per annum, exclusive of the very valuable,
although unproductive, property in the hands of the
aristocracy. Four shillings in the pound on this sum
would produce fifty millions sterling per annum,
which a competent and unimpeachable witness, the
Hon. Member for Glasgow, has considered nearly
sufficient for the gross expenditure of the country,
including the charges of collection. Oppressed and over-
burdened tax -payers, reflect on this—think that the just
and equitable assessment of the " land-tax" would
permit the Government not only to strike off the
whole of the assessed taxes, but even to abolish the
customs and excise duties at one fell swoop, and to
consign the "stamps and taxes" to the place from
whence they came, and to which we trust they will
speedily return. There is an object well worthy of a
little extra labour, of the beneficial exercise of that
"pressure from without" to which the "squeezable
Whigs" have always been so ready to yield, and in
which the agriculturists are bound to join under the
efficient leadership of Er. DISNAVLI.

FRENCH PLAYS, ST. JAMES'S THEATRE.
ARRANGEMENTS AFTER -EASTER.
Mr. Mitchell respectfully announces that "the THEATRE will be
RE-OPENED during the Easter Week, for the performanee of
Comalie and Vaudeville, and begs to sabmit the following arrange-
menu:—
Zngagements—M. lamson (of the Theatre Francais, Paris), his
first appearance, Madlle. Denain (of the Theatre Francais), M.
Regnier (ot the Theatre Francais), Madlle. Nathalie (of the Theatre
Francais), and M. Lafont (of the Theatre des Varietes).
The first production after Easter will be Scribe's popular Comedy
if " Bertrand et Ration ;" Le Comte Bertrand de Ranttau (Premier
Minis:re), .M. Samson, as performed by him in Paris. Subsequent
performances will be selected from the following :—" L'Ecole des
Veillards," " tin Veuvage," and " Ma Femme et Ma Place," new
Comedies by M. Samson ; " La Marquis de Senneterre ;" the two
admired Proverbs of Alfred de gusset, "Il ne Faut Jurer de lien,"
and " 11 Faut qu'une Porte soft Ouverte ou Fermee ;" " Les De-
moisellee de St. Cyr," " La Pali a Tout Prix," " En Chateau de
eartes," ".Le Marl a la Campange," and the new Play by Emile
Angier, " Gabrielle," new performing in Paris with unsurpassed suc-
cess, and in which Madlle Regnier nod Malta. Nathalie will sus-
tain their original characters.
Mr. Mitchell feels particular gratification also in announcing that,
• in the production of Scribe's celebrated Comedy of " La Camarade-
rie," estimated amongst the chef d'aivres of the modern stage, the
•piincipal characters will be sustained by four members of the Theatre
Francais, Paris—M. Samson, in the character of De Miremont ;
Madlle. Denain, in that of Cesarine; M. Regnier in that of De
it,,ntlucar ; and Madlle. Nathalie, in that of Zoe; presenting a com-
bination of ta:ent not to be witnessed at any other theatre in Europe,
the arrangem2nts for which have teen most generously accelerated
by the zdnunistration of the Theatre Francais, Paris.
In addition to the present Company, and the foregoing engage-
me,ts, are the following : —Madlle. Avenel (of the Thei ire de
]'Odeon) ; Madlle. Brassine (of the Theatre du l'alais Royal);
..lbfadlle. Renaud (ot the Theatre du Vaudeville) ; Madame Octave
(of the Theatre du Vandevil e) ; Madlle. Constance (of the Theatre
des Varie.tes),
The first performance oC the eminent tragedienne, Madlle. Rachel,
Is definitively arranged for Monday, July Ist.
Subscriptions for the reminder of the season may be arranged at
Mr. Mitchell's Royal Library, 33, Old Bond-street.

The writer then proceeds to show that, in addition
to those methods, Russia is continually employed in
fomenting differences between the European States,
for the purpose of weakening them, and of adding to
her own power by acting as arbitrator or protector,
according to circumstances ; and that she is constantly
endeavouring to foment troubles in the interior of
each European State by intriguing with the different
political parties into which the state may be divided.
The writer then proceeds to observe :
" Peace thus gives a preponderance to Russia such as
she would not derive from 'the most fortunate war.
Every day she accustoms the minor states to look to her
as the arbitrator of the destinies of . the world and the
dispenser of universal good fOrtune or misery. The
menacing immobility of her forces adds a hundredfold
to their prestige. She keepi weak Governments in fear,
and the world in suspense, and she derives as much ad-
vantage from apprehension as she could from a series of
victories; she holds high language to great states; she
counsels and•conducts the little—in a word, she reigns.
Look for proof at what is passing in the Austrian mo-
narchy, the German Confederation, at Naples, at Por-
tici, at Constantinople, and at Greece Who over this
immense space is feared and attended to? Who counsels
King William at Stuttgardt, and Otho at Athens? Who
speaks as never did ambassador like Prince Gortschakoff
at Frankfort? Who addreises.to the Whig Cabinet at
London such unheard-of remonstrances? Who ? The
Russian Government."

It is, therefore, more than ever necessary that the
policy of resistance which Lord PALMERSTON has
adopted should be carried out to the utmost, and that
the people of England should not suffer themselves to
be misled by the misrepresentations of the obscuran-
tist agents of the Russian policy, whether those mis-
representations may be made in the House of Peers
or in the columns of a reactionary journal.
The National has the following on the conduct of
the Royalists on the motion of M. LAROCIIEJAQUELIN :
" Can monarchy proceed; as M. de Larochejaqtielin
would have it, from a delegation of the people? Can
monarchy exist in virtue of any other right than its
own? And if it has popular right Riven to it for its
origin, is it still monarchy ? Is that monarchy which it
depends on the will of the people to abrogate? The
(amity of. delegation implies that of revocation, and the
act itself by which the people might establish the monar-
chical form would be the negation of the monarchical
principle, and the affirmation of the popular sovereignty.
A fortiori does what we here say apply to constitutional
royalty? It may be seen, therefore, that as right and
principle, monarchy has ceased to exist. Inexorable
logic says ir, and general feeling proclaims it. As a
usurping and revolutionary fact, monarchy may, it is
true, be re-established by violence and surprise; but
only, as we have said, as a usurping and revolutionary
fact, and transitory. It is an abuse of language to say
that monarchy can be restored. The _form of monarchy?
Yes! We have just said bow, and at what price. But
the principle! Never. For once again monarchy is by
itself. It cannot be—in its essence and its truth—even
in consequence of an abdication of the nation, which
cannot abdicate its right over itself, and can always undo
what it has done. Consequently the object intended by
the proposition of M. de Larochejaquelin is nothing but
nonsense. It ought to be well known that this word
monarchy—legitimate or quasi legitimate—signifies no-
thing more than revolution, violent triumph of injustice,
and at a given moment, popular vengeance. Let those
who wish for a restoration of any kind ne longer speak
of compromises impossible and necessarily perishable,
except by oppression and abuse of force. Such is the
question, and it must be accepted in these true terms :
Right and Republic, immortal as Tight—monarchy and
usurpation, ephemeral as everything which is the fruit
of iniquity and of violeice.'?
The Maniteur du Soil states that fire soldiers were
arrested on Thursday near the column of July, where
they had placed a crown of immorfalles.
The review which was to have taken place in the
Champ de Mars on Easter Monday has been post-
poned.
The trial of the Legitimatists who were arrested
some time since in the Rue de Rumford, on a charge
of conspiring to overthrow the Republic, was con-
cluded before the Assize Court on Thursday. They
were found guilty of having formed a secret society,
and sentenced to various terms of imprison-
ment, varying from one month to six days. The
mildness of these sentences contrasts curiously
with the severity of those recently passed on
the editors of the Reforme and of the other
Republican journals, and with those passed by the su-
preme Court of Versailles on the accused of the 13th
of June. Sentences such as these passed on the Le-
gitimatists are premiums to Royalist treason, and
the Court which passes them is more guilty than even,
the conspirators, of whom it makes itself the ex poet
facto accomplice.

We are rejoiced to find that the suggestion which
we a short time since offered has been acted on, and
that the preliminary steps have been token to offer to
Mr. PURNELL, the worthy, philanthropic, and inde-
fatigable Chairman of the Gloucestershire Quarter Ses-
sions, a public testimonial for his unwearied exertions
in exposing and in remedying the atrocious abuses
which have hitherto prevailed in Private Lunatic
Asylums, and the continuance of which reflects such
disgrace upon the board of Lunacy Commissoners
(presided over by Lord ASHLEY), whose especial
duty it is to exercise a vigilant super-
intendence over these asylums, which, if exercised
as the Legislature were led by Lord AsHLLY to be
sieve at the time it consented to pass the Lunacy Bill,
it would have been exercised, would have effectually
prevented the occurrence of these abuses. The Glou-
cester Journal of Saturday last contains the follow-
ing report of the preliminary proceedings :
" A meeting was held at the Shire-hall, in this city,
on Taesday las', which was attended by Earl Fitzhar-
dinge (the Lord-Lieutenant), Lord Ellenborough, and
several other magistrates, for the purpose of opening a
subscription, to present Mr. Purnell, the County Chair-
man, with a public testimonial, for his conduct in rela-
tion to private lunatic asylums, for which a vote of
thanks was passed to him at tale last Quarter Sessions
A committee was chosen fur carrying out this object,
and receiving subscriptions ; and Mr. Ellis, the Cleik
of the Peace, aed Mr. Bolden, of London (who at-
tended on behalf (f the Alleged Lunatics' Friend
Society), e ere appointed secretaries, to assist the com-
mittee. This testimonial has been most deservedly
earned by Mr. Purnell, fur his unwearied exertions to
ameliorate the treatment and condition of private lunatic
patients, who are too frequently totally neglected.
Although we understand it is desired to limit individual
donations to a small amount, we have no doubt that the
subscription will be warmly supported, not merely by,
the inhabitants of this county, but by the public gene-
rally, and it has our cordial best wishes for its success."
We heartily join in the wishes expressed by our cotem-
porary for the success of this subscription, and if we
can form any judgment as to the probability of that
success from the present state of the subscription, as
advertised in another column, its success will be as
complete as the most ardent admirers of the zeal,
energy, and high-mindedness of Mr. PURNELL could
desire. It will be a national tribute to a national
benefactor. We are rejoiced to find that among
those present at the meeting on Tuesday were Earl
FITZHAEDINGR and the Errl of ELLINIIOROUGH,
and we would most respectfully urge upon
both those Noble Earls the necessity of
drawing the attention of the House of Peers to the
subject of the present state of the law of lunacy as
soon after the Easter recess as possible. The unf)rs
tunate illness of the Loma CHANCELLOR has hitherto
prevented the introduction of any Bill for the alters •
tion of those laws, and we fear that there is
now very little chance of carrying such
a measure through Parliament during the course of
the present session, but there is still time to move
for a Committee of Inquiry, and such a Committee
would not fail to elicit evidence which would be
most valuable to those who might undertake
during the recess to prepare a well-digested
measure for the reform of the laws of lunacy,
to be submit'ed to Parliament at the commencement
of the ensuing session. Of the necessity of such a
measure, the following extract from the report pre-
sented by Mr. PURNELL to the General Court of
Quarter Sessions for Gloucestershire, furnishes ample
proof :
"Of such results is an important one—that the Me•
tropolitan Commissioners have, in their last visits to
these houses, devo'ed a day to the careful inspection of
each asylum."

The community in general, and the owners and
occupiers of property in the Holborn division of the
county of Middlesex, in particular, are deeply in-
debted to Mr. -MAYES for having raised, and con-
ducted with so much zeal and energy, the important
question on the unequal and unjust assessment of the
land-tax in different portions of the metropolis.
Although the efforts of Mr. MATES have not as yet
been attended with success,—although the Commis-
sioners have refused to adopt the sound views put
forward by the Learned Gentleman who so ably
argued the case on behalf of the appellant,—a spirit
has been excited which cannot be appeased until
a full and complete measure of justice be rendered
in the', premises, and a more equitable principle
introdUced for the guidaace of the Commissioners.
'Elie law itself, undoubtedly, requires amendment, for
it is monstrous that one district or locality should
be bound to contribute more than one hundredfold,
in proportion to its actual value, of that which is
demanded from a more favoured and prosperous
qusiter. But much could be effectea, even under
the present defective system, if the Commissioners
would fully and fairly carry into operation the ex-
tensive powers with which they are entrusted, and
not adhere With obstinate and unreasoning
pertinacity to the. mischievous and ill-considered
precedents established by former boards.
There is nothing whatever in the 38 Geo. 111., c.
si, the last Act relating to the subject, and the
statute under which the tax is now levied and col-
lected, or in any former statutes, to render the de-
cision of the Commissioners with respect to the quotas
assessed upon the different subdivisions of " the rest
of the, county of Middlesex final and conclusive."
There is no possible reason why the inhabitants of the
wealthy parish of Marylebone should pay less than one
half &farthing in the pound, while their less prosperous
neighbours, in:St. Paul's, Covent-garden, are compelled
to pay more than one shilling and tenpence-halfpenny
in the pound—why St. Pancras should be assessed
at the rate of one farthing in the pound only, while
the Liberty of the Rolls is charged at the rate of
2s. 61 An equal rate of little more than one penny
in the pound (1 1-64 d.) would raise the entire sum
charged upon the entire Holborn division, being
13,6791. 13s. sd. on an annual value of
3,232,597/. ; but, in place of that easy and
equitable charge being made, we find Maryle-
bone, the real property in which is valued at
1,132,3241., only called upon to provide 5641. ss. ld.,
and St. Pancras 1,3991. ss. 2d. out of 1,251,7371.,
while the Liberty of the Rolls must contribute
1,437/. si. 83. out of 14,5001, and St. Paul's,
Covent-garden, 4.8401. 12s. out of 51,345/. This is
