PUTAT I ON.

Sitt—The relgic Revolution fsa fact which is accom-
plished, which has been recognised by the Great Powers,
who have proclaimed the independence of a nation united
against its will to a foreign nation.
The Belgians, in constituting themselves as a State, have
had in view to establish among them the liberty which they
hate conquered by a courageous struggle, anti to show to
Earore. by the choice of a Sovereign destined to guarantee
their political existence, their ardent desire to concur in the
preservation of general peace. Henceforth restored to them-
selves, invariably attached to their count'', and to the Go-
vernment which it has chosen, they will oppose a formidable
bart:sr to any one who should attack their rights as a nation,
and they sill contribute also to the maintenance of the ba-
lara-2 of Europe.
An extraordinary and noble sight in the annals of nations
is presented by the agreement of four millions of freemen
spAntareously offering the crown to a prince born at a 'dis-
tance from them, and whom they know only by what report
as published of his excellent qualities. Your Royal High-
ness is worthy of this appeal, worthy to answer to this mark
ennfidence. The happiness of Belgium, and perhaps the
grace of all Europe, are actually in your hands. As the re-
weal of a noble resolution, Prince, we do not fear to pro-
na'se you glory ; the benedictions of a good and loyal people
always attached to its sovereigns as long as they have res-
pect, d its rights ; and, lastly, a memory dear to the most
re:rwe posterity. Those Belgians who have recently had
cite r. lyantage of approaching the person of your Royal
iiiOness, and of appreciating your enlightened
views and the firmness of your mind, have thought
that a plince endowed with such eminent qualities,
would be able to overcome all obstacles, if he should meet
with any, to accomplish his great destinies.
In the name and by the orders of the National Congress,
the Belgian Deputation has the honour to present to your
Royal Highness the solemn Act of the 4th of this mouth,
which call you to the Throne of Belgium.
The President of the Congress and the Belgic Depu-
tation,

LET TES TO HIS ROYAL HIGHISSS THE PRIMUS Of
SA ILF-CMIT7RO TO THE REGENT OF BELGIUM.
Sir,—lt is with sincere satisfaction that I have received
the letter, dated June 6, which you have written to me.—
The circumstances which have delayed my answer are too
well known to you to require an explanation. Whatever
may be the result of political events with respect to myself,

the flattering confidence which you have placed in me has
made it my duty to make every effort in my power to con-
tribute to bring to a happy conclusion a n%ociation ofsuch
great importance to the existence of Belgium, and perhaps
to the peace of Europe.
As the form of my acceptence does not permit me to enter
into details, I must here add some explanations. As soon
as the Congress shall have adopted the articles which the
Conference at London proposes to it, I shall consider the
difficulties to be removed cc far I am concerned, and I shall

..... _
be able immediately to proceed to Belgium.
The Congress will now be able to embrace, at one view,
the situation of affairs. May its decision complete the in-
dependence of the country, and thus furnish me with the
means to contribute to its prosperity with the most sincere
attachment. lie pleased, sir, to accept, &c.
(6igned) LEOPOLD.
London, June 26, It
Al. Lebeau ascended the tribune. He recapitu-
lated to the Assembly the Decree of the 2d June,
authorising the Government to negociate for the
arrangement of the territorial questions by pecu-
niary sacrifices ; the Decree of the Regent of the
3d, appointing Messrs. Devaux and Nothomb to
be commissioners; and also the instructions given
to those two Deputies. The Minister then gave
an account of the Correspondence between the
Conference, Lord Palmerston, and Messrs. Devanx
and Nothomb.

It appears from these explanations that on the
21ith June Lop' Palmerston sent to the Belgian
Ctvotaissioners at London a note, announcing to
them that the Five Powers commissioned them
to deliver a sealed packet from the Conference to
31. Lebcau.

M. Lebeau announced that the packet had been
transmitted to him by Nlessrs. Devaux and Nothomb,
rho wrote to Lord Palmerston, acknowledging the
receipt of it, and promising to deliver their message
and their letters, containing proposals or articles
which may form the preliminaries of a treaty of
peace.
The Minister before reading them declared that
the Conference means that these proposals shall be
also submitted to the Dutch government, and that
they will be considered as null and void if they are
rejected either wholly or in part. The Treaty is
conceived in the following terms :

TO M. LEBEALT, AT BRUSSELS.

The Conference, animated by a desire to remove
the difficulties which still retard the conclusion of
the affairs of Belgium, has thought that the follow-
ing articles, which might form the preliminaries of
a treaty of peace, would contribute to this end. It
has therefore resolved to propose them to the two
parties :
Arr. 1. The limits of Holland shall comprehend all the
territories, fortresses, towns, and places which belonged to
the former Republic of the United Provinces of the Nether-
land.. in the year 1790.
2. Belgium shall be formed of all the other territories
which received the denomination of the Kingdom of the Ne-
therlands in the Treaties of 1815.
3. The Five Powers will wmploy their good offices that the
Duchy of Luxembourg may remain in statu quo during
the course of the separate negociation, which the Sovereign
of Belgium will open with the King of the Netherlands and
with the German Confederation, respecting the Grand
Duchy, which negociation is distinct from the question of
of the boundaries between Holland and Belgium.
It is understood that the fortress of Luxemburg shall pre-
serve a free communication with Germany.
4. It is found that the Republic of tire United Provinces
of the Netherlands did not exclusively exercise the
Sovereignty of Maastricht in 1790; the two parties shall
consider of means of making an amicable arrangement on
this subject.
5. As it would result from the basis laid down In Articles
1 and 2, that Holland and Belgium would possess districts
surrounded by the respective territories of each other, such
exchanges as may be thought useful to both parties shall be
amicably made between Holland acd Belgium.
6. The reciprocal evacuation of the territories, towns, and
fortresses shall take place independently of the arrangements
relative to the exchanges.
7. It is understood that the regulations of Art. 188-117,
inclusive of the General Act of the Congress of Vienna, re-
lative to the free navigation of the navigable rivers, shall be
applied to those rivers which pass through the territories of
Holland and Belgium.
8. Dutch and Belgian Commissioners shall meet at
llaestricht as soon as possible, for the demarcation of the
territories. They shall also discuss the exchanges to be
aside according to article 5.
9. 10. Belgium shall be a Neutral State, but without
giving up the right of defending itself against every ag-
gression.
11. The port of Antwerp shall continue to be solely a
commercial port, according to Article 15, of the Treaty of
Paris of May 30, 1814.
12. The division of the debt shall be made in such a man-
i net that the whole of the debts before the union shall fall
1 upon the country by which they were contracted, and those
contracted since the union shall be divided In a just pro-
portion.
13. Commissioners shall be immediately appointed to
I settle this matter, so that Belgium may provisionally fur.
nish its portion of the interest of the debt.
14. The prisoners of war on both sides shall be set at
liberty fifteen days after the adoption of these articles.
15. The sequestration of private property in the two
countries shalt be immediately removed.
16. No inhabitant of the territories, towns, and fortresses
reciprocally evacuated shall be molested for his past po-
litical conduct.
17. The Five Powers reserve to themselves the right of
giving their good offices when the! shall be required by the
parties interested. t
18. The articles reciprocally adopted shall be converted
into a definitive Treaty.

The Congress resolved that all the documents
and articles of the treaty of Vienna quoted in them
shall be printed.
M. Lebeau added—" The Commissioners have
had, both with Isis Highness Prince Leopold, and
with the Members of the Conference, communica-
tions which it is important fur the Congress to
know, and which will be laid before it, in a se-
cret committee of the whole Congress, on such a
day as the Assembly shall determine.
Messrs. de Robaulx, Seron, Gendebien, and
others, protest against the secret committee. These
communications affect too nearly the interests of
the country for us to act in•the dark.
M. Van de Weyer —We may have things to
state which ought not to be communicated in pub-
lic ; when you are acquainted with them you may
decide whether you will keep them secret or pub-
lish them.
It was resolved by 77 to 65 votes that there
should be a Secret Committee on Thursday.

The Burgomaster has published the Prince of
Saxo Coburg's answer to the address of the City.
His Royal Highness says; " I have received with
sincere satisfaction your letter of the 9th. I beg
you to believe that should political events soon

to prove my solicitude for the welfare of the inha;

PARIS, JULY I.—An attentive perusal of the
articles agreed to by the Conference of London,
upon the subject of Belgium, leads us to a convic-
tion that they are calculated to bring this matter
to a conclusion at last, by fixing the fault upon
those who wished to render the affair interminable,
or bring it to an unfortunate issue. Holland was
.1)

unwilling to yield in the slightest point ;—perhaps
other Cabinets recommended this obstinacy ; and
the republican party in Belgium worked in the
counter sense for' the same object as Holland—
namely, that a general war should result from all
those difficulties.

The Cabinets of France and England were pro-
bably the only ones which were sincere in their
wishes to see Belgium established as a regular
state, being no doubt anxious to dispose of that ques-
tion, in order to attend to the subject of Poland.
We encourage a hope that the Belgian people will
adopt this arrangement, as it can do so with per-
fect honour, and that nation will feel assured of
the support of England and France, as long as the
strict interp-etation of those articles be adhered to.
We have this day received intimation of a strange
and altogether unexpected event—namely, the
breaking out of the cholera morbus in the city of
Archangel, in the latitude of 64 degrees 33 mi-
nutes, upon the borders of the Frozen Ocean. The
contagion was borne thither by vessels descending
the river Dwina, and laden with the produce of
the Russian provinces of Wologda and Wiatka,
which have been infected since the autumn of last
year and at the commencement of the spring. On
reaching the margin of the Polar reservoir, the
disease is 200 leagues from Moscow.

THE CHOLERA IN POLAND.
CIRCULAR OF THE POLISH OOPIANMENT RESPECT-

1316 TUN CHuLEILI MORBUe.
" Europe is no longer ignor.mt of the ally which the Em-
peror of Russia has called to his assistance for the purpose of
consummating the work of exterminating the Polish people.
Ever since the battle of Iguinie we have had to struggle
against that contagion, which attacked us not only in the
camp, but even in our capital. Notwithstanding a danger so
imminent, which threatened the repose of families and the
security of the whole population, the nation preserved its
calmness. The National Government caused the most ener-
getic measures to be taken for the purpose of arresting the
progress of this evil. The physicians lavished all their care
and skill, and experience, and the result was that all traces
of the cholera morbus soon disappeared. We were already
congratulating ourselves upon having deprived our enc.
mica of one means of injuring us, and upon having ran.
dead a fresh service to Europe, but on the 2fith of May
the battle of Ostrolenka brought the two armies into
contact, and the cholera once more its appearance, as
well among our soldiers as among the inhabitants of
Warsaw. The Government redoubled its cares and its pre. '
cautions, but was persuaded, at the same time, that we should
never be able to shelter ourselves from this scourge, so
long as hostilities continued. Poland awaits, with calmness
and with resignation, the accompliehment of its destinies :
no danger terrifies her, but do not the Powers of Europe
feel the obligation they are under to arrest the p of
this scourge, which is advancing towards the west, and which
threatens every state ? Preventive measures, cordons sani.
Mires, quarantine,—these will be of no use. The physi.
clans of Berlin have lately made a report upon the cholera,
which demonstrates that all precautions will be useless, and
that there is nothing but a cessation of hostilities which can
avert from Europe the dangers that threaten her. This re-
port has been confirmed by the appearance of this disorder in
Galicia. It has already manifested itself at Lcopol, and
will shortly carry its devastations further.
" It was the troop of Count Pahlen which brought the
cholera into Poland; but this troop occupied Siedlec, and
did not fight at Ostrolenka. The contagion, therefore, is
general in the Russian army, and each contact with any
body of the enemy is dangerous.
" The plague, which inhabited Turkey) has changed its
residence, and has now established itself in Russia. It may,
perhaps, be useful to remind Europe, that Russia has more
than once ranked among the number of the motives which
forced bet to declare war against Turkey, the duty of pro-
Weans Europe against the introduction of the plague.
"a announce to you positive facts, and we ask you
whether thll new consideration does not impose upon the
European Powers a new obligation to interpose itself be-
tween the Polish nation and the Emperor of Russia, for the
purpose of staying the effusion of blood, and of preventing
those calamities with which Europe is threatened ?
June 1, 1831.

The Polish army had attempted a great movement
towards Siedlec, with the hope of surprising General
Kreutz, or forcing the General-in-Chief of the enemy
to draw off the divisions of his right from the pala-
tinate of Plock, and to cross over to the left bank of
the Bug. That expectation failed. Skrzynecki
returned to Praga on the 20th. We are ignorant
of his present plans.
The Russians, masters of the town of Plock,
occupy the right bank of the Vistula with consi-
derable forces, and are supposed to have the inten-
tion of crossing the river. They continue to re-
ceive their provisions from the Lower Vistula, and
the Prussian fortress of Thorn has become for them
a magazine.
We have already alluded to the revolting par-
tiality of Prussia towards Russia, in direct opposi-
tion to the well-known good wishes of the Prus-
sian nation, who generally applaud the noble ef-
forts now making by Poland.
lf, instead of the frontier of Prussia, there were
on that side a barren coast or a desert ; or even a
country whose neutrality was real, it would be im-
possible for the Russian army to remain at Pluck ;
they would even have the greatest difficulty in
maintaining themselves on the Narew, for General
Toll's communications with Russia are completely
cut off by the immense progress of the Lithuanian
insurrection.

General Toll had no longer a basis for his opera- I
tions, and his 40,000 or 50,000 men would be re-
duced to want bread and ammunition, should Giel-
gud take possession of Wilna. But Toll has now
for the basis of his operations, and bis point d'ap-
pui the frontiers of Prussia; he derives from the
Lower Vistula all the provisions necessary for his
army; be has no longer to be uneasy about his
cetadiunications with Russia, and be is in a situa-
tion to attempt an operation on the centre.
This induces us to credit the report of his in-
tended passage of the Vistula, and advance upon
Warsaw. It is very likely that he hos had orders
to that effect from St. Petersburg. The Russian
Government must be anxious to put en end to the
contest. The rage of freedom and nationality has
seized the population of the ancient and extensive
provinces of Poland. By destroying Warsaw the
Russians no doubt would expect that insurrections
of which that capital is the central focus, would fall
, of themselves.

The Russian Cabinet will in all likelihood be de-
ceived in its expectation. The enemy will simul-
taneously have to lay siege to Medlin and to War-
saw. The defence of those places may last four
months. The external insurrection, already so
powerful, will become still more formidable, and
the insurgents may in their turn be enabled victo-
riously to march to the assistance of Warsaw.
It is said that the central Polish army had re-'
turned to Praga.
To the South, Gen. Romarino crossed the Vistula
at Pulawy, to join Gen. Chreianowsk at Zamosc.
The situation of affairs in Lithuania is most fa-
vourable. General Gielgud is at the head of 40,000
men, which may be fairly called the Army of Li-
thuania. His centre is at Marianpol, alias Staropol;
his left in the maritime province of Samogitia ; his
right at Lida, on the road from Slonim to Wilna. He
has a bridge on the Niemen, or Memel, at Olitta,

and his future operations are to be directed against
Wilna.'
Gen. Chlapowski forms the right of the Lithua-
nian army. After leaving ,the grand Polish army
at Drohisira, on the Bug, he advanced northward
towards Bielsk, then on Wolkovisk, and finally on
Lida, where he opened communications with Ge-
neral in Chief Gielgud.
The forces of the Russian empire are consider-
able, and, no doubt, yet formidable—and that
empire, founded by conquest, governed by despo-
tism and pride, will attempt a great deal before it
submits to the humiliation of a dismemberment.
But there is an immense strength in the endea-
vours of a nation suddenly recovering its former
energy, when all classes—tha people, nobility,
clergy, peasantry, slaves, and the women them-
selves—are unanimous in their resolution to esta-
blish their national independence.—lifessager of

FRANCE.

The King arrived at the Paleis Royale about
half-past 11 this morning.
A preparatory meeting of the electors of the 3rd
arrondissement, to the number of 630 out of 1,400,
took place to-day at Menus-Plaisirs. M. 1. Lafitte
obtained 360 votes; M. A. Odier, 250 ; the re-
maining votes were divided between MM. Drouett
and Chignard. This advantage gained by M.
Lafitte cannot be considered as decisive, as there
was not half the electors at the meeting, and upon
the day of the election the electors will probably
attend in greater number.
In a letter from Rome. dated 19th of June, we
find the following :—" The partisans of the Ex-
King, Charles X. have frequent meetings in Rome,
at the house of his Eminence, Cardinal Rohan.
This Prince feels no hesitation in styling himselfl 1
(among this Carlist junta) the Ambassador of the',
fallen Bourbons, Charles X. and Henry V. Of
course his Eminence only represents the Princes of
Holyrood in this place until the approaching arrival ,
of M. de Blacas, titular Ambassador."
The Government, we hear, is seriously occupied
in finding employment for the numerous workmen,
who are without it. The formation of a Company
for laying down an iron rail-road from Paris to Pon-
', toise is talked of, which hereafter is to be continued
to Rouen, and also another from Paris to Orleans.
It is likewise rumoured that a market is to be esta-
blished in the faubourg Poissonniere ; a street, to
be called Rue Louis Phillippe to be opened from
the Louvre to the Hotel-de Vile, and the new bridge
over the Seine opposite the Rue des St. Peres. The
greater part of these improvements will, it is said,
be commenced ..vithin the next fortnight.
There was no Cabinet Council held yesterday at
St. Cloud. The Ministers, who remained in Paris,
went individually to pay their homage to his Ma-
jesty. The Council in question met to day, but
nothing has transpired on the nature of the discus-
sions. It was only remarked that M. Sebastiani
had arrived early to the King, and that he appeared
very much agitated. No doubt but the direction
he has imparted to our policy may become the ob
ject of serious accusations, and we think that he is
aware of it himself.--Journal de Commerce.

GERMAN AND DUTCH PAPERS
RECEIVED TINS DAY.
Faorrtzis or POLAND, Just 18.—Letters from the
Russian head-quarters of the Bth of June, before the death of
Count Diebitseh, speaks of the passage of the army over the
Vistula as likely to be shortly expected at two points, Plonk
and Pulawy. They add, that it would have taken
place before, had not the Russians been without
moveable magazines. The Russian main army, after the
late sending of two corps to Lithuania is stated at
48,000 infantry and 11,000 cavalry, a force which was
judged sufficient to act on the left bank of the Vistula, and
perhaps to make itself master of Warsaw, as the Polish
army was much reduced, partly by the late battles and partly
by having detached several corps. The accounts from War
saw represent the inhabitants as full of confidence.
They had great expectations from the Lithuanian incur-
ration, which, from what was known in \Warsaw, ap-
peared to have spread much since the arrival of General
Gielgud ; it was hoped that news would soca be received of
the taking of Wilma.
POLISH PRONTILIS, Razz 16.—The Volhynia-Po-
dokin insurrection resembles that in Lithuania.—
Every moment, it is believed to be quelled, and
pintial risings give it more consistency, and a more dan-
gerous character. All the means hitherto tried to suppress
it by force, have failed; and if the authorities succeeded in
making themselves respected ip one place, in another the
Russian officers were expelled, or even murdered. Field
marshal Count Sacken,—a very able and energetic
man, seems, however, much too far advanced in
years for the difficult task that awaits him in Volhynia. One
must know the country and the boldness of the patriots, who
take advantage of the nature of the country, intersected byl
rivers, morasses, and vast forests, frequently attack with
the greatest impetuosity the inferior numbers of
the enemy, and either strike a successful blow,
or, if defeated, vanish in the forests, where regular
troops cannot follow them. In this manlier they have
already done the Russians much injury. Only a week ago,
a park of artillery, on its way to join the Russian army in
Poland, was attacked by a troop of patriots. As the
Russians made a brave resistance, and the patriots saw
that it was impossible to get possession of the cannon, they
resolved to make it unserviceable.
They divided into several bands. prated by the advantages
of the pound, made a furious attack on several points upon
the escort, and spiked the guns, with the loss of some hun-
dred killed. While the people are so disposed, it is hardly
to be expected that order and obedience will be re-established
by the sword alone conciliatory measures might perhaps be
more successful.
Vittrwa, lowa 23.—The accounts of the cholera in
Gallicia continue to be alarming : it is affirmed to-day that
it has now crossed the Caspathian mountains into Hun-
gary, and that nine persons have died of it ; at Keebing,
also, in the Commune of Arve; but this account is in
much need of confirmation.
By letters from Constantinople, of May 25, we learn
that the Grand Vizier has signified to the Porte, that he is
resolved to go in person to Bosnia, which is now the focus
of the insurrection. 1
The Emperor has conferred on Baron Von Munich Bel.l
linghausen, President of the German Diet, the dignity of
Count for himself and his descendants.
JIIIFIC 9.--We have received by a steam-
boat news from Constantinople of June 6. The Tartish
fleet weighed anchor on the 3d to pass the Dardanelles.
The Sultan himself went on board a ship of the line with
the Admiral Hotil Pasha; but it was thought be would

only go to GaMpoll, and return to the Capital by land.
Tranquillity prevailed at Constantinople, and the sanitary
state of the city was good.
TRIESTE, JUNE 18.—Letters from Scutari of May 28th
say, that Mustapha Paths was in his capital, and expected
reinforcements from Bosnia; meantime lie has put ,the for.
tress (not the town) of Scutari in a state of defence, and, al
500 men are a sufficient garrison, has provisioeed it fat
three years. These letters also add that Karapacci
Zade Ali Bey has also arrived at Scutari with 8041
or 1000 men. The enthusiasm of the inhabitant!
of Scutari has, however, been all at once extinguished by the
late reverses, so that in many places, and even in the capital,
preparations were making to send deputations to the Grand
Vizier, as soon as he passes the frontiers with (Ara at
submission:, and petitions for lenient) treatment. Only
the arrival of the Bosnian', who are said to have already
advanced to the Albanian frontiers, might give affairs ano.
they turn.

RIGA, JUNE 17.—1 n consequence of the 'operations
of the Governor-General Baron Von Paphlen, tranquillity
was nearly restored in Samogitia. More than sixty
nobles had made their submission, and the perpetual
landowners had applied, partly in person, partly by let-
ters, to the Govemor-Germal, offering to submit to
his Majesty's clemency. They had not long to wait fur
it, for the Governor-General received, a few days ago,
from the Minister of Finance, notice that the sequestra.
tion would be taken off the estates, and all such of the
nobility as have voluntarily submitted. This example
of clemency, already began to produce the happiest alms
in Samogitia, when the approach of General Gielgud
again threw the province into confusion. We have heard
that General Gielgud is at Kauen, and is pursued by
strong Russian force. General Saeken is near %Vilna' with
a corps of observation of about 10,000 men : several othcr
corps dispersed in Samogkia are said to be on the point of
uniting in order to oppose the Polish General.
Tule HAGUE, JUNE 30.—A letter from Batavia of
Feb. 15, announces the loss of the ship Johanna Maria
Wilhelmina, Capt. R. Tower, which sailed Dec. 31, from
Batavia for the Moluccas. It had on board 150 European
troops, with three officers, the Rev. M. Lammers Van
Toorenhurg, with his wife and seven children, a rich cargo
and 100,000 florins in specie.
It struck on the rock; East of Madeira, N.W. of the
Kangiangh roads, without any hope of being got off. A
sloop sent to Batt and Banjoewanzie, for assistance, did not
reach Java till ten days afterwards ; and the stormy weather
having rendered it impossible to send help immediately, it
was not till several days afterwards that vessels could be sent
from Bezokie and Sourabaya, which saved all the passengers
and the crew.

from General Sir G. DON, Lieutenant-Governor
or Gibraltar, dated the 15th of June ; and from our
Consul at Cadiz, dated 16th June.

We have seen a letter to one of the first Com-
mercial Houses in the City, dated Friday evening,
aging, that the votes in the Congress in favour of
PRINCE LEOPOLD were one hundred and eighty;
against him 39 ; the minority were going to make
a protest. It is expected that, at the end of the
week, a deputation will arrive here from Brussels,
to accompany the Prince to that City.

To•morrow is the day for making up the Public
Quarterly Accounts. We have reason for believ-
ing, that although the Half-yearly Revenue will
I appear favourable, yet, on the Quarter ending

to-morrow, there will be, probably, a defalcation
of about 6 or £7oo,ooo—a great portion of which
may be attributed to the Repeal of Taxation.

If the Journals are not misinformed, a new
political game is about to be played. The elder
Bourbons, taking advantage of the unpopularity
of the domestic and foreign policy of Louts
PHILIPPE, have entered the field; and it appears
that the Duchess of BERRY (mother of Hawn),y
the Duc d'ANGouLEME, Marshal Boy R MONT, &C.
have made tbeir appearance at Mayence, apparently
on their way to Switzerland and Italy, where for no
evident object, Austria has assembled so vast a
force. Of such an enterprize it is impossible to
divine the result, seeing that Louts PHILIPPE
has now so slender a party in France ; for the
men of July are even as much opposed to him as to
the Carlists ; and though France will never return to
a Bourbon regime, yet such a division among the
Bourbonists, will give fresh strength to the Repub•
linen or NAPOLEON party. What a confusion
thus results from LOUIS PHILIPPE not marching
with the Revolution, and giving his aid to the
Poles, Italians, &c ! He would then have been
the strongest and most popular Sovereinga in
Europe, instead of being the weakest, and
without party. We should estimate the old
Bourbonists in the six millions of French families
at a quarter of a million only ; the Orleanists, as
such, at few more ; the Napoleonists at a million:
the Republicans at three millions; and the other
million and half as indifferent, or those who always
join the existing Authorities. The present Go-
