TO prOv‘t tit at I tvas not rue tha iyi:trA,
of exerting—tnyself against are Government, it
will be sufficient to read one of the paragraphs of
my letter of the 28th of December last, conceived
in these terms I seldom go out to appeur in
any public society, and it is full six weeks since
1 have been any where but in the society of my best
friends." And these three letters, taken together,
cannot but prove the truth of my preceding answers.
that is to say,that Vwasintlignant the infraction of
the Couveetiou that I wished publicity to the
discussions of Parliament, in order to instruct the
people on the Coetineet ; and that A thought a
throne planted on foreign bayonets stood in great
danger of falling, inasmueli.asjt did not take its
natural basis in a system of clemency, ass(' respect
for good faith. As an Englishman I had a right
to express myself thus, particularly tinder actual
circumstances, when the re-establisholent of the
King was our own work.
Q. How can it be believed that these expres•
sious were suggested to you by it. simple idea of
foresight, when, in your letter of the 28th of last
December, you "libinte your Government for its
fear of compromising the cause of the Bourbons
and that of legitimacy in general r and that, in
another passage a little below, you speak " of one
of your triends who had exhausted your patience,
because," say you, " he is become a legititnacy-
maniac ?"—A. First, 1 will not answer a French
fnuctionary on the subject of my observations on
I the English Governmeet. Secondly, I bad a right
to call an Englishman who adopted the doctrine
of legitimacy. either a fool, a nsanittes or a Irtli•
tor, because he outrages the very principle tinder
which the House of Brunswick reigns in Eng-
land. Thirdly, lam delighted at having this op-
'portunity ;of repairing publicly, as I have al-
ready done in prisate, the wmong thus offered to
this friend.
Q. Your answer does not embrace the whole
question I.put to you, and which had for its ou-
ject, not only your observations on the.cause of
legitimacy its genesis!, but also those that applied ,
to the cause of the Bourbons iu particular.-4.
1 have already explained myself ou my politics,
apd my determination not to clotr into any dis-
cussion on detached passages, of which time sense;
considered separately and by other persons than
those to whom they were addressed, might re-
ceive an interpretation different lions my meaning.
• Q. But at least there are some passages, the
sense ut which it is impossible to mistakt : thus.
for example, when, in this letter or the 6tlt of
December, you announce changes in the French
Governmein, saying, " affairs take a torn ei,ite
counter-revolution:li y," is it poNsihle to doubt
that you called in question the, legitimate midst).
rity of the King, and twit you reghriled it,as be-
ing only established on a principle •of violence
and 'evolution'? —A. I shall not enter .
a grammatical discussion which might lead
us too far ; but 1 will :fitatskly say, anti 1 hope
for the last thee,. that I. have always considered
the:King of France as re-established by force ; and
that, as an Englishman, I do not respect Wilt Is
called , the legitimacy of sovereigns, when not
sanctioned by time people. The word counter-
revolutionary, whicb I have used, was nut applied
to this legitimacy, but to that, change which, ac-
-ooreiing to my opinion, and on the bestiot my'in-
telligence, was desirablean opinion in, which
almost the whole ot England at this moment
coecturs.
