France had very nearly gone ovet to the new faith.
Henry became Catholic, Louis r•voked the Edict of
Nantes, and the Jesuits gained the preponderance at
Court.

-The second time something that was good. arose ,
in the Jansenists, the rolitniru of Port Royal. The
Jemoti got the upper hand, the Jansenists were ba-
' niched, and in the year iins, the convent of Port
Royal was levelled with the ground by commanchot
the Kith; and it was cert iinly the most virtuous
point in the whole kingdom. Fri ,m that time for.
ward. the Jesitits. the Minister, and mistresses reigned
unsontrouled in the Pal ice at Versailles, and the
D •vil transformed his eh tpel there into a cathedral.
The dark ambiguous casuistry of the Jesuits suited
1- views "f a corrupted Court ; selfishness and lies
tilted without controul, and from that time the nation
d dined in its m rats.

was the reply, " thin among us, out of 2.5 millions,
millions know nothing at all of what was said thd

The best way that we Germans can derive advanA
t from the m'sfertunes of France, is to take ex-
ample by these misfortunes, In Germany, also, the
welfare of the people depends upon the landed pro.
piiet ors, the pnissessors of the soil. These are all
descen.'ed of the same blood, all beat equral burthens,
and all enjoy equal liborties ; the nobleman and his
neighbour, the pastor of the parish and his ne:glibour,
the merchant and his neighbour, the agricsilt ,rise, all
pay :he same taxes, and have the gime rights and
the suite interests to be properly repreeeired in their
states. Their sons serve in :he i.ime armies and in
the same Land,eelits, and blled tot the tame country.
The general rn iss of alt boys of property constitute
the conntry—all the proprietors the people. If the
people ate roe and united, then they hate no external
nor internal enemy to dread.
Are we united, then we may also give ourselves
one Constitution. It is all very well, that Knisters
and Counsellors should make some experiments and
school-boy attempts. The people will then see clearly
that the thing is not in their power, and that their
welfare comes not }min that quartet.
The people will have no constitution rif the empi•ef
in which 10),000 Ithinelanders or Westphedians
shall have only half the number of voices that
100,000 Bavarians have, as the late Vienna federal
Constitution enacts. When the question is with regard
t the welfare of the empire, then every division of
I0:),000 Germans, it signifies not where they dwell,
should have an equal number of votes. and whoever
wills the contrary is not our friend. If the English
and French expect Germany to be a kind of Polan
a sort of subsidiary help for them, they are much
I mistaken.

Germany clearly perceives, that it is not free, so
long as one foreigner possesses a single square font of
its territory ; and a time will come when no E glish.
man will have orders to give in Hanover, and nn
Frenchman in Strasburg. Let the old House of
Brunswick reign over Hanover, as it has hitherto
done, but in a distinct German line, and by means of
Princes who are Germans, and not Englis'nr.en; And
if in future a German Prince be called to a foreign
Throne, then let him renounce all that he possess s in
Germany.

strung within and strcng without,
In the first place the people wish a Constitution for
each of their races, upon the old German plan, by
means of a representation which exhibits the whole
i territory and the whole people. In the nest place,
they wish a constitution for the empire, and a repro.
! sentation which may form the central point of all the
physical and intellectual powers of Germany, by
means of which the united force of the.people may be
directed, in times of necessity, against the common
enemy, and thus the freedom and independence of
the country be maintained. Nothing :s m‘ire perni-
cious and disgraceful fur a people than tJ be th-f
slaves of foreigners.

for himself, where they would have no hereditary
King that they might keep up a shadow of suve.
reignty—..for petty Princes must be subservient, and
their sovereignty is always a mere shadow...and that
the small German Princes will thus keep Germany
weak and susceptible of divisi :n—if England and
France think this, then are they mistaken.

is free like the nt.bleman, and the country is not in-
habited by divers races of natives and Jews.
The people feel that all Germans are of one blond,
and that all must obey the same laws, the great as
well as the small, and that it is more honourable so
obey the law, than to live in turbulent disobedience.
The King also who must rule over Germ.ins, must
rule oily through the law—s-and In such way that
when he marches out, the whole people may follow
him as one roan; thus it would be a pleasure for free
Germans to live among free Germ ins, and to be able
to say to himself and the foe, that he belongs to a dig.
nified people.
And what Prince must rule over Germanyi He who
takes an interest in the honour of his people, and
in the strength of his native land. He who knows
that his strength lies in what the sentiments of the
age point out, and seeks it not in antiquated things.
He who says to himself, w I am a Prince,—but be.

In the :umy the course was the same. The base
were every where promoted, because the Emperor,
worthless himsell, could ►only reign with the worth-
less. " All the women ate w--, and all the men
fools." Such was his opinion of the French.
A people who had such an Emperor, and such
Kings, might well be brought down, and we have
no right to throw a stone at them. We know nit

have done for the French.

PARIS, NOVEMBER 16.
When an unprejudiced man attends a little to
things here, he perceives, that a civil war alone can
restore to this people that unity whichthey have lost.
It will be bloody, it will last for years, it will spread
unspeakable mi,.ery and calamity over the people, but
much that is wicked and worthless will'go to the bot-
tom—white, green, and red egotists, and tricoloured
gentry.
The better part of the French. indeed, have the
idea that nothing but calamity can again steel them.
And it will come. Streams of blood will flow, and
perhaps a third of the present generation be con-
sumed ; but winching will he made of the people at
last. The country is not so corrupt as the capital
All our troops assure us, that wherever they have
been in the country parts and small towns, they have
found the married and unau►rried women quite un-
corrupted.
France has had flinch misfortune. Their Govern-
ments, since Louis XIV. have constantly ruled over
and by means of the 4, base passions of the human
heart," as the Bishop of Mechlin (de Pradt) relates'
of his lord and master Napoleon. Few of them build
their government upon truth and rectitude. Thrice
has something good arisen in the nation, and thrice
has it lien put down, or corrupted in itself. The
First time, it was in the Huguenots, who, by their
morals and their intelligetce, were the salt of the
French earth. There was a time when three-fourths
of the French Nobility were reformed, and when all

But France is still in fermentation, and so long as'
fermentation exists in a people, there is still hope
that the worthless will be worked off, and the dregs
thrown away. Many of our countrymen appear to
think, that the present fermentation is of that putres-
cent description which took place in the Roman em-
pire 200 years after the birth of Christ, and that it
will end in a complete dissolution.
In this, however they err. France will not be
ruined by a civil war. Seven-eighths of the popula-
tion belong to the third estate, and have only one in-
terest. Three-foorths of all the landed property are also
in the hands of the third estate. As in respect csf in-
telligence and morality, the same proportion is in fa-
vour of the third estate ; therefore, in the event of a
civil war, it cannot long be doubtful,, to which side
the victory will incline. What will save France, is
the great subdivision of landed property, which has
taken place since the revolution. Rome was free
and independent when it had few or ■o slaves, and
when the Gracchi pressed forward the Agrarian law
for the division of the soil. I have heard that a
royalist proprietor recently said--" There is no
safety for us but in property." The remark is true,
but in another sense than what was meant.
It has been the early misfortune of France, that
the capital, and the great landed proprietors who
spent the winter there, formed themself on the model
of a vicious Court. Gregoire once well observed,
" It is the general sentiment, that Paris is the capi-
tal, and the 89 Departments, with theie 25 millions of
men, a mere depen4ency upon it. There is no coun-
try where superstition, in regard to the capital, is so
great."
It is a blessing for Germany that we have no such
capital, in comparison with which all the other towns
are nothing.
Another misfortune of the French is, that frivolous
levity, which the Government itself generated by
constantly directing the attentka and efforts of the
people to empty trifles. I one day asked Agar, the
present Count Masburg, how it happened, that the,
