JAMIN CONSTANT, all died as they bad lived, steady,
inflexible advocates of the revolutionary principle of
democracy; but LOUIS PHILIPPE—who would almost

seem to be incapable of deep-rooted impressions—can
change with the change of times ; uphold Republi-
canism in youth, and in age, task the utmost
powers [of his intellect to crush it throughout
France. Truly, he is an extraordinary man,
and—notorious as has been his political
tergiversation—we can scarcely find it in our hearts
to condemn it, when we remember the benefits it has

Mr. SMYTHA'S late eloquent speech at the Man-
chester Athenaeum seems to have proved too strong
for the delicate digestion of the Morning Post, which
made some rather severe strictures upon it on Wed-
nesday, and renewed the subject yesterday. The
young and ardent member for Canterbury having
stated that there " is an old and natural alliance be-
tween literature and commerce," our perverse Con-
temporary, whom no one can please ; who, like Vol.-
TAIRA'S Prococurante, looluOn everything with an eye
of distrust and hopelessness ; and who appears to have
reduced to system the Nil-Admirari principle of
Hoes.cm—our wayward Contemporary, we say, im-
mediately bristles up, and thus replies to Mr.
SMYTHE'S statement :—" We deny that there exists
any old and natural alliance between literature and
commerce. When such an alliance has existed, the
terms of that alliance have always been the reverse
of honourable to literature. The spirit of commerce
never yet conceded to the spirit of genuine philosophy
equality of social influence with itself ; far less has
the spirit of commerce ever bowed to the supremacy
of the highest forms of intellect. The alliance be-
tween commerce and literature has been, in short, the
sort of alliance which connects the master with the
slave—the luxurious lord with the parasite." This is
an undoubted truth, when applied to the connexion
between aristocracy and literature, but when applied
to that between commerce and literature, it is as un-
doubted a falsehood. The aristocratic spirit has
never yet conceded to the literary spirit " equality of
social influence with itself," but has uniformly kept it
at an awful distance—flattering it, it is true, at times,
and encouraging it, and making condescending
speeches to it, and admitting it to the honour of its
presence ; hut always insisting on its confessing
its marked inferiority, and playing the part of an ob-
sequious dependent. Look at the Dedications of
DRIVEN, YOUNG, and others of our great authors,
and see there the sort of conduct that was expected
to be pursued by genius towards its lordly patrons !
Look at the compliments of POPE—who well knew
the temper of the men he addressed, and won their
favourable suffrages in consequence—and see in what
terms a poet was expected to address his aristocratic
superiors On the other hand, mark the fate of
JOHNSON, who was left to pine in solitude and neglec

conferred, and still continues to confer, on Europe.
Had Louts PHILIPPB, like LAFAYETTB, remained

true to the Republican convictions of his youth, a war

,
of Propagandism would have commenced in 1830,

which would most probably have continued unabated

to the present day.

for the best years of his life, with scarce sufficient
means to provide for the day's meal, merely because
he refused, in the manly independence of his nature,
to flatter the self-love of the great, and approach them
on bended knees, as though he were the slave, and
they the master! " I was never a favourite with
Lords," says the philosopher of Bolt-Court, in Boa-

WBLL's inimitable life of him—" because they do not
like to hear the truth, and I would not tell them
falsehoods." Again, in later times, remember the fate
of Buiiss, who was first petted, and flattered, and
lionized by the Scottish aristocracy, and then coolly
left to starve, and fret his very soul away in that ex-
quisite agony which despised and neglected genius
only can feel, merely because he was conscious of his

Own high calling, asserted the dignity of manhood,
and refused to bow in abject adoration before the

The Post's observation, then, we contend, is
rue, as regards the alliance between aristocracy

and literature, but false as respects that between

commerce and literature. Who were the gene-
rous, the steady, the unaffected patrons of genius

during the palmy days of Venice, but the enlightened
merchant-princes of that magnificent trading city ?
Who not only admitted the social equality of TITIAN,
but even his social superiority, but these same worldly,
enterprising spirits ? Who fostered the arts and

sciences, and mind, in its most imaginative form, when
the greater portion of Europe was comparatively unci-
vilised, but the leading commercial inhabitants of
Genoa, Florence, and the other Italian Republics ?
Who drew forth from obscurity and indigence, and
were the most assiduous, unassuming patrons of the
intellectual spirits of tbeix country, but the merchant-

night. hives of industry are in full operation,
providing raiment, fancy dresses, and all the neces-
sary articles, too, of domestic life, for America, and
India, and China, and, we may say, every habitable
portion of the globe. We have this satisfaction in
addition—while nations able to pay their debts skulk
from their engagements like swindlers, England
maintains her credit, her funds are higher than
those of any other country, and she has a com-
mand of money surpassing that of all other States,
The "merchants of old England" deserve every praise
but their sons have falsified the proverb of the ancient
poet, and surpassed their predecessors.

It is not once in a dozen years that the Court Cir-
cular furnishes us with a hint worthy of a moment's
consideration, but this morning the case is different,
for the following suggestive paragraph appears in it,
on which we propose to make a few remarks whici,
though they may not be novel, will at least have the
merit of being seasonable :—" The royal and august
party after leaving 'Windsor Castle, went through
Staines and Sunbury-common to Twickenham, to
the house formerly occupied by the KING of th(
FRENCH, when residing in this country, and
now in the occupation of the Earl of Moa-
NINGTON." How many stirring recollections—not
a few of them of an exquisitely painful character
—must have been awakened in Louis PHILIPPE'S
mind, when he once again stood before the house,
which many years ago he had occupied during his
exile from his native country ! Did joy or melan-
choly predominate in his breast, when looking, first on
the well-remembered dwelling, and then on the illus-
trious group by whom he was accompanied, the,
contrast between his past and present condition neces-
sarily forced itself on his attention while busy thought
travelled back through a long vista of years to the days
of his consparative obscurity—days which for weeks
and months together rose and set in gloom, and pro-
duced scarcely a single auspicious event on which to
hang a hope for the future ? In all superior minds
there is always a touch of pensiveness bordering on
melancholy, and we can readily believe that the first
sight of his old house raised in the French KING'S
breast emotions rather of sadness than joy, notwith-
standing the triumphant position which he now
occupies as guardian of the peace of Europe. He
could not but have thought, with a sigh, of the
friends who once sate with the humble exile beneath
that roof—of the brothers who shared his confidence,
and were to him as a second self—and, more espe-
cially, of the clever, sanguine DUMOURIEZ, under
whose auspices he made his first essay in arms, and
who—had he succeeded in his schemes—would have
raised him to the throne of France. All these have
long since passed away ; the winds of many winters
have sighed over their graves ; and LOUIS PAILLIFE
now finds himself the chief actor in a totally new
scene—conspicuous in an age which in some respects
is the direct antipodes to that of his youth and man-
hood—surrounded by new men, and influencing a
new generation whose political sympathies are little
in accordance with those of its predecessor. It
is a striking proof of this great Monarch's
worldly sagacity that he has been able, at his
advanced time of life, to accommodate himself with
such flexibility to the altered character of the age.
LAFAYETTE, his distinguished contemporary, carried
with him to the grave the republican principles which
he maintained in youth ; NAPOLEON, even after his
crushing defeat at Waterloo, still held in the Cham-
bers the language of the despotic EMPEROR ; CHARLES
the TENTH could risk a throne, but could not, no'
