PRIVATE AND .A(.7IIiENTEC CORRESPONDENCE.

PARIS) Doc. 3l.—The McAlear will have com-
municated the det.tils of the composition of the
new Ministry ; I pretend not to augur what will
be the measures they mean to adopt, but I under-
stand that they are all of his Majesty's own
choosing, and that the first and absolute condi-
tion that he imposed on them, collectively and in-
dividually, was an inviolable attachthent in the
Charter, not the spirit, which leaves the latitude
for every one to interpret it in his own way, but
the letter; and that, whenever it is proposed or
thought necessary to vary from the strict literal
acceptation of it, it is to be borne in mind that tire
Charter was given as a pledge of his Majesty's
love for his people, as a blessing„ and not as a
curse ; as a reward, net as a punishment ; and
that, therefore, every interpretation, varying
from the strict letter, should be in favour of the

people ; protection, not severity, being its eisen-

631 character. And when such are the paternal
views of the Monarch, when such is his positive
determination, what Minister will dare to be
guilty of destroying the Charter by giving it an
interpretation contrary to its principle, and the
intentions of its author.

The position of the new Ministry is one of ex-
treme difficulty, for the state of the nation is one,
if not of danger, dt least of great perplexity. A
Pamphlet, published within these few days by M.
BERRYER, the Advocate, if accurate in its state-

ment, makes one shudder ; he says, striking con
trasts strongly apprize us that there exists some

where a capital vice, since so many parties com-
plain and mutually accuse each other. Tbere is
in France a great abundance of eve, y necessary of
life, and the certitude of their constant repro-
duction, yet privations of all kinds are imposed
upon the multitude.

Nothing can surpass the stability of the public
fortune, founded on an immense and fer►ile
yet the State has but a precarious credit, and is
in arrears in the roost sacred obligations.
The soil and national industry place in the

bands of i►►dividna►ls incalculable revenues, yet all
the individuals, and landed proprietors themselves,
experience the most cruel embarrassments•

']'i►is year in particular immense harvests of all
kind have been made, and yet it is not known

how to assist each other,
Extraordinary loans have been made in foreign
markets, yet here they are scarcely marketable.
Ail the Capitalists of Europe may be said to
have formed a Congress at Paris to maintain the
credit of the funds, yet only fatal half measures
are adopted.

A wise, just, religious, humane, and enlight
enedmire)) occupies the Throne, yet inquie
tude is ►►baervahle in the public mind.

Such is the picture drawn by this celebrated
Barrister at the close of 1818. May it not, there-
fore, be asserted that the situation of France is
one of the greatest difficulty ; it is one in which
the Ipte Ministry plunged it by its-intestine divi-
sions ; one Minister proposed one thing, another
the reverse, and they were too obstinate to give
way to each other. Thus different systems were
adopted by the different Ministers, as I have *A-
rcady so often declared in my Correspondence,
but which has been as constantly contradicted by
the Ministers themselves, and by their agents, the
French Press. To hear 11. LAINE and M. tie
CAzes, you would have thought there was the
most perfect union of sentiment, and they both
by their agents asserted it ; but I still persisted in
my assertions—my Correspondence in the South
of France revealed what the Ministers strove to
conceal, till their disagreement became such that
they could no longer act together.—l was aware
of the secret intrigues, and exposed them, fearless
whom 1 offended. I might oftener have accused,
but I never would do it without proof. For exam-
ple—l might, had I relied on mere report, though
front good authority, have stated that M. ANGLES,
Prefect of Police, had sent information to Aix-la-
Chapelle, and got inserted in the English Papers
articles which he dared not avow, on purpose to
make a breach between the Duke de lticuiewu
and M. de CazEs, but I lot bore to do it, pre-
cisely because I had no proof of it.
The dismissal of M. ANGLES at this moment,
may he, perhaps, regarded as a proof that there
was not so much smoke without some fire.
might too have attacked M. LABOUILLERIE, but
I would not for the saute reason.

I shall as hitherto watch narrowly over the con-
duct of the new Ministers ; the peace of Europe
depends on their conduct, and I shall never fail
to hold up to public obset vat ion every aberration
front those principles which his Majesty has de-
clared to be sacred and inviolable, viz., those of
the Charter.

to cult-ark for Liibon in the Liffey. The -Liffey
