PARIS

If, 1850.

(FROM A CORRESPONDRNT.)
It is said that an ouvrier forms a better idea of a
watch, if examined as it stopped, than after any at-
tempt is made by shaking to give a temporary motion.
On this principle, with no better qualification than
impartiality, I choose the present lull to compare the
Paris of 1850 with the Paris I had seen in 1825, and
both with England. Persons thoroughly acquainted •
with foreign countries often lose sight of their own ;
in fact, it would be difficult to name a book pro-
fessedly comparing two nations except the Paragone
dell' Italia alla Francia, by Torquato Tasso, which is
commended for its brevity and prodigious simplicity.
Any such parallel, therefore, may be worth attention
for a moment, pour la rarete du fait.
Le President.—After waiting several hours in the
Champs Elys6es, saw the President of this Republic
on horseback. No visible resemblance to the great
Napoleon, which has been made a pretence for certain
mauvaises plaisanteries. The Fitz-JPromes are mar-
vellously like the petit corporal. His cordial recep •
tion of many who befriended him in adversity, though
not moving in the highest society, weighs much in
his favour, as also an extreme generosity to the poor.
The notion here certainly is that he " would give
away the coat off his back," a curious exemplifica-
tion of his uncle's maxim, "Pour recevoir it Ant
savoir (loaner.' His journey to Angers, with his
kindness to the sufferers, was genuine, and made an
impression.
One touch of nature makes the whale world kin."
The cheapness of bread as well as wino at pre-
sent, with a comparative plenty of money, is all
for him, and here is March dust enough to augur well
for next harvest. The first care of Lamartirae s Provi-
sional Government was to make currency plentiful.
Hear this, ye kings. Sir R. Peel coming into office,
1841, with a fardel of " difficulties" on his back,
found Bank of England notes 17 millions, raised
them before April, 1842, to 18i millions, and by
February, 1843, to 21 millions ; which, supposing all
other things to remain unchanged, would raise hire
of labour 20 per cent.
But if Louis Napoleon has little externally of the
Corsico. Tuscan, he has much of the graceful tact of
the Beauharnais. his mother was Hortense, sister
of Eugene, daughter of the kind-hearted and far-
seeing Josephine, whose marriage made and whose
repudiation marred the fortunes of the soldat heureux.
With her his crescent waxed, and with her woes it
waned. La reine Hortense left among the grisettes
and femmes de chambre of France a memory full as
cherished as that of Napoleon with the Old Guard.
Many shrivelled arms, many little hands, were lifted
in prayer for a son of la reine Hortense. Is not this
Napoleon the Second ? It did not follow that his
successor should be the Due de Reichstadt. Louis
Napoleon is like Ali, son of the daughter of the
Prophet, and Frenchmen are turning Shiites or
Fatimites. About the year 1830, some verses were
published by MM. M6ry and Barth6l6my, entitled
"Le File de l'Llomme." The poetic collaborateurs
imagined a second Napoleon brought home by
foreigners ; and such was more or less the case, for
the wisdom of our reigning family declared very early
in the day—Louis Napoleon is the man. But read
the verses :

" Car si la politiquo en changemens fecondo
Una derniere fois bouleversant le monde...
Reveillait le tocsin des supremes dangers,—
Surtout si dans lea rangy des soldats el-angers,
L'homme au pa'o visage, efffayant m 6 sore,
Parait en agitant un lambeau tricolors,
Si sa voix re ionnait a l'autre bord du Rhin,
Comme dans Josaphat la trompetto d'airain,
La trompette puissante sux aieeles annone6
Sueciterait les worts dans leur couche glaede—
Qui salt si setts voix fertile en mills echos
D'un peuple de soldats n'eveillerait les °sr
Si d'un .Pere exile renouvelunt l'histoire . . . .
Le nouveau Pharamond de bras en bras Porte
Nentrerait pas en roi duns la grande cite?
Tels aux bruyans accords des cris et des fanfares
Los princes chevelus dans les Gaules barbares
Paraissaient ou milieu des Francs et des Gernaains
Monies sur des pavois soutenus par leurs mains."
Nothing can be more natural than such a belief in
the re-appearance of great souls. Not to mention
the avatars of Vishnu, even poor Dido predicted
Hannibal—

" Exoriare aliquis nostril ex ossibus ultor."
Or was it merely Virgil's opinion. Roderick, last of
the Goths, was believed not to have died—so Harold,
last of the Saxons. Dr. Francis Rabelais says,
" Oger and Arthur were translated to the land of
fairies by Morgue. A mystic barge took away Ar-
thur, rex quondam rezone futures. Don Sebastian,
King of Portugal, who perished at Alcazar, in 1578,
is to return. Thomas of Ersildoune, called the Rhymer,
is to reappear in some convulsion. The Bedouin
Arabs believe that Khizzer, the immortal, returns
every 500 years. The Druses of L-banon expect
Hakeem to return and rule over all. Hussein, son of
Ali, chief of the Fatimites, the twelfth Irnautn, is to
descend as Mandi, saviour. In fact, these predictions
tend to verify themselves. The fishermen of Bou-
logne intt nded to vote for Cavaignac, till they saw, or
thought they sa:v, "a great .ti." in the heavens; and
it is probable that some of the wisest in England did
not despise this and other meteoric or magnetic hints.
The President of this Republic knows, England,
which his adopted grandpapa never did to the last.
On the other hand, M. Tillers knows the currency
questioe, and the dependence of all statistics, eco-
nomics, and politics, on what is ludibrieu ly called
currency -school, currency -doctrine, paper-money.
In 18'26 a work called the " Encyclopedia Pro-
gressif," commenced, but only one thin volume 'ap-
peared, because of the contributors, Guizot, Benja-
min Constaut, 3. B. Say, Brousssis, and Thiers,
many took high office immediately. From an
article by M. Thiers in this one livraisou,
it appears that he desires no better than
to emulate Law, called on the continent
le Chevalier Lass; that Le 's failure was not his
own fault ; that he was disinterested and wise in the
highest degree ; that, like Napoleon, he rode the
French till they dropped ; that his principles and zeal
originated the Scotch banking, which has redeemed
that country from barbarity (Law being a Scotch-
man); that his errors, if any, arose from confidence
in the truth ; that he was a victim of envy and folly,
gnawing at his vast designs.
Now, if Louis Napoleon and M. Thiers can both
be content to play second fiddle, or even play in the
ripieno, they may yet retrieve Europe, especially if
supported by the currency school in England. La-
martine was sound about the currency. It was Sir
R. Walpole's first attention, so he endured—Chatham
knew nothing about it, so they flung him. Lord
Liverpool looked at it as much as he dared.
A single bad crop will make F. nee a charnel-
house. Nothing but communal banks, as proposed
in March by the eccentric and original Meuguin—
treated with scorn by some ex-Minister—can save
her in that case, or, in fact, any other. England should
lead. Arise, ye Few, that to a mercantile education
have joined a long study cf general principles and a
profound conviction that legislation is worse than
useless—except repeal.
" Sight SD deformed what heart of man can bear?"
All owing to congestive bankerhood and the
gold which our unrewarded industry brings
home, exported by loan-dealers and lordly corn-
chandlers, who, when it is all gone, bring on a
panic to ruin every one except the chandlers afore-
said and their " house-list." When a real scarcity of
food coincides in point of time with One of their " fan-
tastic tricks before high heaver," we have 1825 in
England and 1848 in Ireland.
The old French revolution sprung from combined
scarcity of bread and of money—bread and and blood
were paraded—" Du pain !" was the cry. The
scarcity of money at tnat time is demonstrated by the
miserable stop-gap of assignats, seven millions sterling
of which were issued in six years, on false principles
and fraudulent securities. The coin, which became
the only " expression of agreement," was hoarded,
or exported from terror, and the labourer was de-
frauded of hire because there was not wherewithal to
pay him.
The Bank of France would long ago have issued
notes of twenty francs and under but for the
agioteurs, who pick up gold without premium, andsell
it as a luxury or convenience (agio in Italian). Here
is an opportunity for observing that the phenomenon
in England during Napoleon's wars, farcically
termed " depreciation," was nothing but an agio on
gold as a "commodity" for either army. The Duke
of Wellington wanted this commodity, if only to
secure the best information through marshals who,
except Soult, had mostly been postilions, and well
knew the commodity of a pot-dc-rin, as did their
soubrettes and grisettes at Bayonne. Marlborough
also, thanks to l'or anglais never got false informa-
tion. General Napier, narrating the Peninsular cam-
paigns of 1812 says, " Tnese statements tore in pieces
the minister's pitiful pretext of went of specie ;" and
Dr. Southey, " Na money (gold, of course) had been
had for three months Re shuddered when he
wrote home so often and in vain."—( Guelyeed centies
repetita.)

Sold theorists, bought theorists, might be found to
say that this caprice for gold as a commodity was,
—to speak ad nauseant—a depreciation of the cur-
rency ! And that 100 francs' worth of denrees or
vivres, livelihood, is to be valued fur the nonce at
ninety-eight francs. Delirant reges, plectuntur Achivi'
