Who desirn a Revolution ?

" Oa went jamais Widen: quand on atertit le pouvoiti temps et
a propos." •
Aipreseet in France there are all the elements of a Revolution
vampt one—the desire to bring one about.
When the restoration took place. some men thought that the
Court, rabid all at once from a state of decay, recalled from eine,
yet trembling with the misfortunes it had suffered would not ac
ceft frankly a state of things which did not restore it to its ancient
supremacy. It was apprehended that a contest would take place
with our national institutions—dun the throne would be besieged

with imprudent advice, and that those who ought to submit to ne-
eceelty would not be able to impose on themselves the proper mai-
, lets, uiti would think of nothing but regaining privileges Wont-
pedble with the new laws of the country. ' These are the natural
and aidiost viiceisary consequences of a restoration ; and without
hatred= prejudice, it was natural to dread their occurrence.

misfortuue w*ld lot be thrown away. They regarded the at,
tempt at a eountee.reeolution as impossible, because it appeared to
be madness; they believed that the alliance was sincere, because it •
was sworn to ; and durable, because it was fur the benefit of aIL
When the privileged'clahes,vanquithed for a moment, are re-

violent; but when time has mingled their interests with those of
other clamors, changed their position, wiped.out their recollections
=hi Ragland and France, it is necessary to be cautious, and to feel
the ground before renewing the contest. In such eases re-action is
