THE FRENCH REVOLUTION, ITS CONSE-
QUENCES AND PROSPECTS.

The following able paper, which has been kindly
communicated to us by the author, is the produc-
tion of a gentleman who possesses as complete a
knowledge of all the circumstances which pro
duced and attended the late revolution in France,
as it is possible to be possessed by any individual
in Europe. We have, therefore, taken the trouble
to translate it, and we recommend it to the atten-
tive perusal of our Readers, although we do not
wish to be considered as entirely coinciding in all
the sentiments and views it promulgates.
Great, and especially violent revolutions, ale
very seldom, if ever, productive of universal hap-
piness to the existing generation—but, on the con-
trary, and we consider it a just argument against
pr-tmoting them, they seldom fail to prove a source
of immediate evil, although, perh.ip., as certainly
of future good. Just previoas to the late or
second French revolution, i see believe the testi-
mony of travellers, France had recovered apparently
io some ciegree, from the immediate evil conse-
quences of the first violent struggle ; and every
traveller, particularly those of liberal sentiments,
represented that country ass highly fiouri•hieg and,
, contra-distinguished with our own, as enjoying a
I great eegiee of internal happiness and prosperity.
We need only refer for such statements to the tra-
-1 eels of Lady Morgan, Mr. Cohbett, junior and
others. We now find that the internal situation
of France is very different; and that so far from
prosperity and contentment, there is so much of pe-
cuniary distress and want of employment, as to give
I reason for serious apprehension that the last reve-
lutionary wave will be succeeded by others. Are
we, then, to conclude, that all the former reere-
i sentations of travellers were erroneous, or art, we to
conclude with the following paper, that the exist-
ing evils are the product of the last change in GJ•
vernment ? We do not answer this question ;
we merely submit it for consideration.

Those who undertake to begin a reyoluti
scarcely ever render themselves uneasy as to how
it will finish. In that they obey a sec►et instinct
which informs them, that it the commencement of
their great undertaking be subject to the dispo-
sition of man, the end is decided by chance, or by
circumstances which, from not being possible to
be foreseen, or prepared, much resemble what is
so den-minated. But it is desirable to pause for
a short time in the course of a revolution, to view
the point from which it has started, and to discern
by the progress it has made, the point to which it
tends.

We shall now attempt such an examination of
the late Revolutions of France and Belgium.
The political catechism which in France lies de-
stroyed an ancient monarchy and its institutions,
was long in preparation; and all the combustibles
which could contribute to that destruction, had
been long in combination, awaiting only a spark
to produce the desired explosion. An admixture
of vigour and feebleness ; an alternation of ener-
getic acts and of concessions; experiments inju-
diciously too often repeated, of the force of power
against that of independence, had contributed to
the latter the certainty of great support in what is
termed, public opinion ; and inspired the former
with fears and constant hesitation in the choice of
the measures to which it might have recourse.—
The moment had come when the struggle, com-
menced at the tribune, and in the journals, was
taking a character more grave and more decisive.
The government of Charles the Tenth believed it
a duty to prevent the attack, in advancing to meet
the revolution which was rapidly marching to-
wards it for its destruction. It had ca:culated
wrongly, both the resistance which it had to en-
counter, and its own means of attack. It yielded,
carrying with it, on the one side, the reproach of
having violated the contract, which united royalty
to the nation ; and on the other, that which was
much better founded, of having ruined, both one
and the other, by having neglected to employ ju-
diciously those resources which it bad at its dis-
To the astonishment—to the stupor produced
by this explosion—succeeded amosig the people
the cries of exultation ; in the Cabinets of King,
mutual reproaches; and everywhere, whatever
might be the opinion on principles and conse-
quences, a general sentiment of censure one the
overthrown government. Such is the lot of
misfortune ! Charles the Tenth and his Coun-
cillors have been doomed to suffer its bitterest
chastisement. The result of this state of affairs
was a disposition to enthusiasm among the people
of all surrounding nations, and of fear among
all surrounding sovereigns ; of which the new
Government of France profited with ability, and
obtained from England, and by its example, from
the other nations, an acknowledgment—the re-
fusal, or even the adjournment of which,
would have been a source of much embarrassment.

Freed from the disquietude which the rude abrupt-
Less of its appearance might have been expected
to occasion, among the old European governments,
it only remained for the new pvernment, to have
recourse to the means employed at the first revo-
lution, and the efficacy of which was well known.
By anarchy it produced terror within, and by
propagandism it created auxiliaries without.
Thus faithful to its natural character, the -evo-
lutionary power profited by the support it had re-
ceived in the unreflecting complaisance of foreign
cabinets. First. Poland—soon after Belgium,—
then Italy—then some of the• German States and
Switzerland, became the theatres of convulsions
more or less violent—more or less successful;
but of which the effect was, to favour the develops-.
went of the French revolution and its principles.
Whatever political sentiments its partizans profess,
one can easily recognize that it is their condition
of existence, not less than their character, to seek
dissemination without reference to existing en-
gagements, or e hat individuals may be compro-
mised in their quarrels. For the preservation of
their policy, they will sacrifice friends, enemies,
people, and kings. Poland and Italy present
themselves as proofs of this truth ; and the
protection conferred on Belgium, and the form
given to this protection, fully confirm what has
been said.

Behold a faithful picture of the situation of
Europe. $t is a ditty for us to place it before the
eyes of others in the same bright sunshine which
renders it to ourselves so perspicuous. It is suffi-
cient for us to shew clearly what was, and what is.
As for theistfure, bold and rash would he be in
the extreme, who would dere to hazard even a

while ►t may support our feet to-day, may to-
morrow prove treacherously unsu►stantial.
But let ut leave France abandoned to its in-
ternal divisions—to the blindness and weakness of
its Government—to the rapacity of obscum

appetite for fortune—and necessity to make a
noise u a substitute for reputation, nay enable
them to gain aecepdaocy. The other nations
have only to reproach themselves, with placing too
eetensive a confidence in the promises of France

dignity, she should continue to be considered as an
instrument of perturbation to the entire world.

ple on the alert—all armies put in mntion—

does not form a part of the programme of
fele ity which the Revolution has given forth, and
which an astonished world has swallowed with so
much enthusiasm. We are almost irresistibly in-
duced to reflect on the past, and led to form com-
parisons which we know should not be indulged :
but on a view of what is passing in France, who is
not tempted to compare the actual situation of that
country with its past situation—which, it cannot
be denied, was one of a high degree of prosperity,
glory, and inter-national influence ? Under the
former Government, accused as it was of bigotry,
retrograde ideas, and attachment to privileges, the
must perfect liberty was enjoyed, in all places, and
by all men—for acts as well as thoughts—for men
as well as things—Commerce and industry were its
a most flourishing condition-120,000 effective
warriors gave no alarm to surrounding nations for
the security of their respective territories ; more
than sufficient for the maintenance of interior tran-
quillity, they were employed in splendid and useful
expeditions, undertaken with the assent of other
powers—treaties were respected, and incontestible
ameliorations gradually in course of operation. A
project had been formed, much to the credit of the
last Minister, which had for object to obtain fee
France stronger and more natural boundaries than
the events of 1814 and 1815 had left to her. This
project, we can assert, bad it been accomplished
by him, would have been accomplished by anti:
cable discussion alone. Such were the plans eats
tertained by a Prince, whom public opinion is aes.l

Minister,' against whom the public here been un-

DUMFRIZSCR, Sept. lb.
in almost every town in the South of Scotland, Thursday
last was celebrated as a holiday by high and low, rich aid
poor, young and old. In Dumfries the Magistrates, Coun-
cillors, and a number of other Gentlemen, dined together in
the King's Arms—Provost Fraser in the chair; Mr. Short,
Croupier. The fare was excellent, the wines superior, the
toasts arid speeches redolent of loyalty, and suited to the oc-
casion ; and altogether the evening was spent in a rational
end happy manner. In Mr. Oracle's coffee-zoom another
party of nearly fifty gentlemen rallied around, Mr. Murray
as President. The chairman, in proposing the leading tout
of the day, prefaced it with a very nest and appropriate
eulogy oo the character of our truly popular and patriotic
Sovereign. The applause that followed this toast, the health
of the Queen, his Majesty's Ministers, d.c. proved, if the
*Moir had been ever doubtful, that the present calm of the
piddle mind is based on confidence, not indifference, and that
the " re-action" so mush talked of exists only in the minds
of those with whom " the with Is fa her to the hope." De.

Yesterday, the annual meeting of the Farming and Agri-
cultural Society, was held at Lord Althorp's farm, Chapel
Brampton.
About four o'clock, between eighty and ninety gentlemen
down to dinner at the George Hotel, in this town ; C.
Hill Bp. in the chair. The cloth having been removed,
C. Hillyard, Seq. proposed the health of Lord Althorp, which
was drank with three times three. Lord Althorp returned
thanks. He certainly felt aazlous foe the success of the
society, because he thought it likely to promote the
prosperity of agriculture in this county. The mere fact,
that it brought together persons who were interested,
and well-informed In the different branches of agri-
culture, and thus enabled them to communicate their
experience to each other, was of Itself a sulkiest evidence
of its value. He wished to observe that it was of the
utmost importance to keep from their meeting all refenscs
to political and party feeling. If once polities were intro.
duced, the Society, like all Societies in which they were
introduced, must fall to the ground. Their object was
MO quite distinct from politics, and one in which persons of
ell plain were interested. He claimed to credit to him-
erar for attending this meeting, for he found very pest
*mum both in seeing a good show of stuck and in
the company of so many respectable farmers. There was
no public dinner in which he took more interest or
which he found more agreeable; foe n• where did be
meet with parlous of more intelligence then among
the Farmers of this county. He was most anxious
for the welfare of the Agricultural interest, sod he
thought no man a real well wisher to his country, who was
not. With respect to the show which they had attended, it
certainly was nor, pod as be bad see.. They could net,
however, expect that every show would be beta than the
preceding, and when be sew before him such a meeting as
that which be had now the pleasure of addressing, be did
not fiat far the revelry of the society. He should
always be happy in every way to promote Its interests.

and other Commissioners, at the Mermaid Tavern, Had.
ney, and a Jury was sworn to try if Richard Batton Hatton,
Beg. a Captain in the Honourable Rest India Company's

that Ms malady originated by a coup de solell, while
proved
etwwet in India, and he now fancied himself King. He had
several times stabbed himself, and the clearest evidence of
his labouring under mental disease was given. - The Jury
found him of unsound mind from June 1831).

We are sorry to announce that the Belmont and
Hamilton were both blown up, and totally de-
stroyed, at Calabar (Africa); both '4/sada were
from Liverpool, and we are informed that one of
the natives was allowed to try the strength of a
barrel of gunpowder, on board of the Belmont,
when it blew up, and killed four of the seamen on
the spot, and the vessel took fire, and communi-
cated it to the Hamilton. The remaining crei;s
got safely on shore.
