The opinions of mankind ate so different re-
specting the policy of withdrawing the Allied
Armies 'from France, in the present state of that
Country, and the 'question. Involves consequences
of such magnitude, that we deem it a subject of
essential fmportance to all Europe as well as to
treat 13ritain. We look upon tie measure our-
selves with ala'rni, and are naturally desirous of
ctrengthening our opinions by lhose of sound, re-
&cling', and experienced minds. We therefore
extract the folio..ing observations from The
(Dul;lin) Corrapthident, a Paper that, as we have
often said, is conducted upon right principles,
with evident patriotism, and with enlarged views
on every subject that may come under its animad-
versions.

" The evacuation of France is a subject of
some discussion, and of great variety of opinion,,
though., in general, the measure has more advo-
ca,es than opponents. It is stipported on the
ground that France is at present tranquil, and that
there is nothing manifest from which any inter-
ruption 'of such a state may be predicter!; that
it would he unjust, in priuciple and in practice,
to impose b'urthens and humiliations upon that
co,intry, on the mere apprehension of future dis-
ord. rs ; and that, therefore, having skew') the
fairest disposition to fulfil all the covenants and
stipulations of the Treaty of Paris, tl,e French
people are entitled to the decision which removes
a foreign force front their territory, the presence
of which could only be justified on the ground of
necessity This is certainly very specious argu-
ment, and, io principle, difficult of refutation
but, can such a representation, plausible and lin.
pressive as it is, of what France appears to be,
shut our observation from what she really is—
under a Government, not remarkable for much
more than the wish and inclination to do what is
right and best for the interests of the country
ender a MitOstey, that is constantly aril:toting to
offices of political trust and confidence some of
the most vonspicuoo, personages of Boonaparies
military despotism—and with a population, a very
large portion of which is kuowu to admire the
' glory,' as tt i, termed, of Napoleon's reign, and
to lament the events which disable him front _any
further ,measures to disturb the world ? Can we
banish these facts froth our view, and consider
France, when left to herself, as a nation absolutely
settled in repose—bereft, by recent events, of all
that ambition and love of war, which had. in our

own time, plunged Europe into calamity, and
I misfortune—a quiet, inoffensive, and contented'
St tte ?-13u( rather may we not, without incurring;
.sure for illiberality, or for being alarmists
svi, bout cause, entertain reasonable fears that there
still exists enough of the bad spirit which govern-
ed hiv late career Of war and conquest to justify
such a system of restraint and• precaution, •as
would riot leave ton much to her apparent Iran-
quillit'y, or to any sense of right or justice which
may now seem to direct her political system ? The
act which has taken place, with respect to France,
and which restores to her the freedom she had so
justly forfeited by her enormities, is ode, no'doubt,
devised by (hose who ought to be able to tot to the
•soundest opinions upon the subject. It is, there-
fore, rather hazardous to question its policy—hut
still, there are impressions connected with it that
cannot be easily made to give way, even to the
high authority alluded to. We are ready to give
the Allied Sovereigns full credit for thtir magria-
nimily, and for wishing to trust Fiance, as a con=`
,cession to her complainti and remonstrance,, with
the ample enjoynient of her political independ-
ence; but we are not; we couress,,quite 'satisfied
with the security which seems-to have been taken
for the futtire .gitod conduct of that nation, in
this early stage of her reformation from the vices
and crimes of her Republican and Imperial policy.
There does not appear in tire Measures of the'
Allies, as far as they are within the reach of
common observation, either plan or precautiOn to
guard against any events which may take place in
France, hostile to the confidence which they have
reposed in her by withdrawing the Army of Oc-,
cqution."
